Although it was only a regional qualifier.

And the opponent is just a little-known metropolitan team.

But it was the morning of the game.

The entire Qingdao High School stadium is already full of people, which can be called an impenetrable scene, all of which proves that these people, or should it be said that the whole country has paid attention to the formation of the new team of the king Qingdao, the king of Lianba, what kind of performance can he show this autumn, is the existence that this group of people are most concerned about, how will Qingdao arrange to play smoothly? Who's the first to start? Whether this qualifier can be won cleanly or not is what the onlookers, as well as those reporters and editors, care about the most.

"Oooh! Coming, coming, coming, the first battle of the new team. ”

"Is the opponent a metropolitan high school?"

"That's just right."

"Speaking of which, will Shigerun-kun go on the pitch today?"

"I don't think so, I've pitched so much in the summer, so it's only right to rest more before the main game, right?"

"Well, anyway, it's not a big problem to have Kawakami and Descending Valley."

"That's it, that's it, just a metropolitan high school, it's a good hand, and now the problem to pay attention to is that the strength of the line can be maintained in the original few layers."

"Yes, the departure of the third grade, there is a lot of space to be filled."

At 8:30 in the morning, before the first game of the qualifiers was about to begin, the crowd gathered, the dense crowd of melons, everyone came for this first battle.

First base side, Qingdao High School.

Third base side, Toyozaki High School.

Compared to the extremely relaxed bench in the first base, only a few (front garden) have a little nervousness, the Toyozaki High School people in the third base bench are all self-pitying expressions, you know, although they Toyosaki High School is a metropolitan high school, but it is also a relatively strong existence in the metropolitan high school, originally expected to be divided into a good group, it is all the kind of metropolitan high school, to fight the probability of entering the main competition, for the Toyozaki High School metropolitan high school, sports clubs, Most of them join with an interest mentality, not to mention talent, talent, in terms of daily training, and there is a huge gap between private high schools like Qingdao, so they never have too many clubs, participate in each competition, are really not concerned about the result, is focused on participation (in Japan, it is still very encouraged for every student to participate in clubs, and even some colleges and universities will require each student to join a club, of course, after you join, there are no specific club activities to mention.) , anyway, I definitely want to join. ）

However, this emphasis is on participation, and there is also a certain degree.

At the very least, these people at Toyozaki High School still hope that they can make it to the main event, not only because they think that entering the main match is a victory, but also because they feel that they should have such strength.

However!

God doesn't take care of them.

Qualifier grouping,Actually in a group with Seido High School, the biggest boss in Tokyo at the moment!!

The reliant of Koshien in spring and summer!

The most important thing is that the ace is still in this army of kings.

"Alas... Why did you draw it directly to the green road?。。。 ”

"It's okay now, I guess I'm going to be directly beaten by the sky, right?"

"It's over, it's a question of whether these five games can last, Zi'an, why don't you lose more than five or six points in one game."

"Hehe。。。。。。"

Very low atmosphere, it should even be said that there is almost no fighting spirit found from this group of guys, to put it bluntly, if it is not allowed, there are even some people in this team who want to surrender directly before the game, this is still a fart, defeat is not terrible, what I am afraid of is that I will be beaten by a score difference of twenty or thirty points in the next five games, which is called horror.

"An-la, An-la, although we may not be able to win, but Qingdao is not the Qingdao anymore, I think we can withstand the Qingdao line, you know, that group of guys have retired, if Qingdao mistakes a little more, we can still hold out to the ninth inning? That's victory. ”

Optimism in pessimism, the only positive in negativity.

It should be said that not all Toyozaki High School players are not hopeless about this game, and these words are spoken.

It also somewhat stimulated the other players of Toyozaki High School on the bench.

"Papapa"

Toyozaki High School's head coach, Tosaka Supervisor, who was standing at the top of the list, also clapped his hands lightly, attracting the attention of all the players on his team.

"Mineta is right, even if it's Qingdao High School, but, after all, it's the same high school student, failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is to lose the fighting spirit before the game, competition, the most important thing is to try, so, don't admit defeat in your heart, drag to the seventh game is a proof, drag to the ninth game, it is our victory, don't think too much, do every step we can do, it's enough."

Superintendent Tosaka looked at his own players in front of him, and said softly with a very gentle smile on his face.

"Yes, Overseer!!"

The morale that is inspired, as the overseer of the house says.

Even if victory cannot be touched.

But at the very least, show your will.

Of course, the weak-minded guy still has a gray expression, and for these players, it's not the Tosaka superintendent who can control it, after all, in the final analysis, it's different from the team of kings on the other side - Qingdao High School, here in their Toyozaki High School, baseball is really just a simple club activity, that's all.

On the first base side, in front of the Seido High School bench.

"Although the opponent is not very strong, but you still have to be cautious in pitching, in the summer game, you should also have a lot of understanding, the control of corner kicks, and the suppression of low balls, as long as you do these two points, your straight ball, no one can beat it, understand?"

With the assistance of Ono Hiroshi, Miyuki had just put on the catcher protective gear, and looked at the Shimiya Xiao in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"As long as you do these two things, can you be as strong as Shigerun-senpai?"

Tsukitani Xiao's chin was raised, and his eyes were raised, looking at Miyuki in front of him, the words that were spoken with a very serious expression.

"Huh?"

"Ho-ho."

"Huh?"

"Huh."

Not only the Miyuki in front of him, but also Kuramochi, Kawakami, Maezono and others in the bench seat were slightly stunned.

The corners of Shigero's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Let's wait until you do both of those things first."

Miyuki smiled and said angrily.

"I see! If that's the starting point, I'll do it for you, Miyuki Senpai! ”

The fist of his right hand that was clenched tightly showed a very resolute expression on his face, and he said in a deep voice.

And the supervisor Kataoka and Hiromitsu Ochiai, who were standing side by side at the front of the bench, both showed different degrees of expression.

"So! Let's go! ”

"Oh oh oh oh!!"
