Chapter 50: Xijing Middle School (A Tribute to the Chubby Bookworm)

Akagi High School became the first team in the country to advance to the semifinals.

Because of Sawamura's excellent pitching performance, it is conceivable that his name as the Great Demon King will become louder and louder after today.

Wakana told Sawamura that his amoeba blog has millions of followers.

These guys can be roughly divided into three organizations, the Red Heart Brotherhood, the Demon King's Praetorian Guard, and a few scattered fans.

With Akagi Middle School reaching the national semi-finals, the brothers of the Akashin Brotherhood and the Demon King's Praetorian Guard began to organize to come to Tokyo to cheer for Sawamura.

It wasn't that they didn't want to come before, but not everyone had that much time. The national tournament lasts for two weeks, and most of the Red Heart Brotherhood and the Demon King's Praetorian Guard have their own jobs, so it is impossible to have that much time to come to Tokyo to support Sawamura.

But the semi-finals are not the same as the finals, with an interval of one day. Including the competition time, it is only three days in total! There are also Saturdays and Sundays.

In this way, they only need to set aside a day to come to Tokyo and cheer on Sawamura on the spot.

It's easier, and as soon as you add it up on Sawamura's amoeba blog, you have a plan for everyone to cheer together.

Originally, it was just the brothers of the Red Heart Brotherhood who were in action, and many of them were Nagano, and they came to Tokyo to cheer on their favorite players on the one hand, and on the other hand, they could also be used as tourists. After all, a visit to Tokyo has a very special meaning for many people. (Come with us to Beijing, that's what it means.) )

Very good!

With such a call, the brothers of the Demon King's Praetorian Guard quit!

The people of the Red Heart Brotherhood are mainly in Nagano Prefecture, and the total number of people is only about 100,000. Most of Sawamura's fans still watched him compete with Yokozuna and Tenryuji in the Kanto Conference, and then joined the Demon King's Praetorian Guard.

The small group of the Red Heart Brotherhood has organized a small 1,000 people to cheer for Sawamura, so how can their Demon King Praetorian Guard be willing to be left behind?

One thousand, two thousand, three thousand......

In the end, more than 4,000 people, under the call of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, came to Tokyo to cheer for their Demon King. (As far as unity is concerned, the newly formed Demon King Praetorian Guard will certainly not be comparable to the Brotherhood of the Red Heart.) But on the one hand, there are many families, and on the other hand, there are many Tokyoites in the Demon King's Praetorian Guard. For them, there is no burden to come to Jingu Stadium to cheer for Sawamura. )

"So crazy?"

Ashin next to him was stupid.

Although I knew that Sawamura had a lot of fans before, I never thought that they would be so crazy.

More than 5,000 people rushed to Tokyo to cheer for Sawamura!

What kind of scene is this, a big star has a concert, but that's it, right?

"It shows how worried they are about this game."

Feng Xiang looked at the problem more thoroughly.

Akagi Junior High School's opponent in the semi-finals was the winner of Yokozuna Junior High School and Saikyo Junior High School.

Saikyo Middle School is a wealthy club in Tokyo and a frequent visitor to the top four in the country.

But almost everyone decided that it would be a different team in the semifinals with Akagi Middle School.

The fifth place in the Kanto convention, the former overlord who advanced to the whole country with a play-off, Yokozuna Junior High School!

Anyone who has watched the match between Akagi Middle School and Yokozuna Junior High School will not doubt Yokozuna's strength. In the second encounter, whether Akagi can withstand Yokozuna's revenge is also the biggest highlight of this competition, and there is no one.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth."

Sawamura said indifferently: "I'm not going to let them score, and then we'll see how to conquer Uesugi Ken." ”

"Let's go and see our future opponents."

Yokozuna's match against Saikyo Junior High School was the third game of the semifinals.

By the time the friends from Akagi Middle School arrived at the scene, the game had already been played for three rounds.

The score on the field was 2:0, and Yokozuna Junior High School took the lead.

"Sure enough, Yokozuna is strong!"

When Oda saw the score, he couldn't help but shake his head, the strength of the giant Yokozuna was almost unbeatable.

I have to say that Yokozuna is indeed very powerful.

Sawamura glanced at the scoreboard and wondered, "Xijing's attack is not weak, and there have been two Ansan hits so far." ”

Having seen Ken Uesugi's ball, Sawamura has a deep understanding of Uesugi's pitching.

Facing the defense of Ken Uesugi and Yokozuna, in the first three innings, Saikyo was able to score two effective hits. Akagi can't do that.

"Out!"

In the first half of the fourth inning, Xijing attacked.

"Ping!"

After one out, Saikyo hit a home run with his fourth.

He knocks Uesugi off the pitch with a ball.

"I'll go, it's too fierce!"

"Who is this?"

Akagi's friends have fought against Yokozuna, and they are deeply impressed by Yokozuna's strength, especially against Uesugi's ball.

Feng Xiang and Sawamura don't have the strength to hit the ball, who is it, so good?

"Qi Ping, one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings!"

Feng Liang is like a stream to all the star players on "Baseball Boy". Recognize the identity of the other party almost at a glance.

Sawamura nodded, and then asked, "This Xijing is a bit interesting, in addition to the four sticks, are there any other outstanding ones?" ”

"First baseman Flush, second baseman Tanaka, and catcher Inoue are all star players. In terms of lineup alone, Saikyo Middle School is no worse than Yokozuna. ”

Yokozuna has Yamanaka Kanosuke, Uesugi Ken them, and Saikyo also has Saihei, Tanaka and Inoue.

Even if it's Akagi Middle School, it's not the same as Sawamura and Fengxiang Ao.

These teams in the later stages are all from more than 8,000 teams across the country, and any one of them is a shining star. Without the support of a few star players, they would not have been able to get to where they are now.

"How's their pitcher?"

"The pitcher's name is Tokuichiro, and his strength is not bad. The pitch was very powerful, but the possession was almost good. If it weren't for the weakness of the pitcher, I'm afraid I'd have pulled Yokozuna down long ago. ”

……

The game continued, and after a fourth-level home run, Uesugi and Yamanaka quickly settled the hitter behind Saikyo Junior High School and completed their defense of the inning.

In the second half of the fourth inning, Yokozuna Middle School attacked.

By the time Yokozuna attacked in the second round, the Big Mac's attack power was fully displayed.

Now the score on the field is 2:1, and they are leading by one point, using solid tactics to advance.

Soon as soon as it was out, there were people on first and third base.

It was the turn of the hitter to hit the third bat, Yamanaka.

In this situation, Yokozuna's score is almost inevitable.

And once the score continues to expand, the home run that has just been chased back by Qi Ping will be invalid.

"Xijing Middle School changed pitchers, No. 1 pitcher Tokuichiro was transferred to the outfield guard, No. 10 substitute pitcher, and XX classmates appeared."

At this moment, Xijing Middle School requested a substitution, and a figure who looked particularly free and easy, left the cowshed and climbed the pitcher mound of Xijing Middle School.

One out, one third base has someone.

In such a moment of crisis, sent to the field. If you think about it with your toenails, this pitcher who is on the court must not be simple.

Sawamura was very interested in setting his eyes on the man.

Seeing the person who came clearly, Sawamura's heart was shocked!

How is he?

How could it be him?

How did he end up here???
