Chapter 17: The Battle for the Back Number in Advance (Part 2)

The intense practice competition held in Daocheng will be put aside for the time being. Pull the camera back to Seido High School.

After the speed test, more and more onlookers appeared on campus. They originally thought that the baseball club of Seongdo High School was still on vacation, so they were not particularly active in training.

After all, they had been watching it for several days in a row before, and this heat was naturally getting lower and lower day by day.

After I arrived, I felt that the atmosphere on the court had changed very differently.

"It turns out that Sawamura-san's has returned!"

Soon they found a different center, a circle of flatterers around Sawamura. Even on the other court, the third-year seniors who were training frequently turned their attention back to Sawamura.

Sawamura defeated Kuramochi in the 50-meter run!

Awesome, really awesome!

"Sawamura, we will always support you."

"Come on!"

"I also won the championship this time, let's go to the spring armor."

"It's up to you, Ace!"

Most of the people who came to watch Seido High School practice were seniors who had graduated from this school. Without a doubt, they are all the most die-hard supporters of this school.

For them, the appearance of Sawamura Eijun is simply the favor of Lady Luck. It was precisely because he came to Qingdao High School that he brought such good luck to Qingdao.

Before the third-grade seniors retired, because of the long-term relationship. These third-grade seniors, among those die-hard supporters, are also not low.

When they're there, they can also share some of Sawamura's popularity. Now the third-grade seniors have retired, and they all have a better future.

According to the information they have, four of the third-year players in Qingdao High School have been invited to the professional draft, the others are counted as one, and even the more outstanding substitutes have also been invited to the college draft.

The professional draft will be postponed, but the college draft is generally in September.

The so-called draft is to represent people who are interested in you, and then you go to the audition. This kind of draft is also divided into general invitations and named invitations.

The general invitation selection is much stricter, but if you go to the school to invite the contestants by name, it is basically a formality, and as long as you want, you can go to that university to study.

The 18 people in the first army of Qingdao High School, except for a few players in the first and second grades, one of the others is counted as one, and the future is very bright.

This is also a benefit that comes with Koshien. Not to mention that Qingdao High School also won the national hegemony, even if Qingdao High School did not dominate the country, the report card they played in the Koshien competition alone was enough to fight for them a good future.

For the third-year players, their only task now is to make their last appearance in the national sports competition.

For the national sports competition, the results are actually not particularly important. With the top eight in Koshien as the core, the national sports competition held is more like a star show.

After the competition, most of the contestants had to take pictures of each other and sign autographs for each other. Even if you fail, you won't cry.

Of course.

A national hegemon like Qingdao High School, if the results are really unbearable, it is also quite embarrassing.

Therefore, the third-grade seniors gathered together to train, and it was not all for the sake of feelings, and they really didn't want their last experience to be too embarrassing.

Hearing the cheers from the surrounding audience, Sawamura waved to the audience frequently.

Although most of these viewers did not see the scene where he defeated Kuramochi and created a miracle. Danzig, for example, was cheering for themselves.

As far as Sawamura himself is concerned, it feels very sour.

He didn't expect that he would be so capable and outperform Kurachi in terms of speed. This excitement can't be compared to the excitement of dominating the country with the third-year seniors, but it is comparable to winning the Kanto Congress.

Refreshing!

"Damn stinky boy!"

Kuramochi looked at the smug Sawamura and hated it so much that the root of his teeth hurt. But he's not the kind of stingy person, because Sawamura won him, so he went to trouble Sawamura.

It's going to be faster next time!

After losing to Sawamura, Kuramochi secretly made up his mind and worked on his speed.

It really didn't work at first, because he had already increased his speed to an extremely strong level. Later, it was Sawamura who guided him and adopted a more scientific training method, so that Kuramochi could reach a higher level in speed.

Those training methods were devised by experts and professors in the big leagues. In terms of kinesiology techniques, they are much more professional than Kataoka Supervisor and Ochiai Coach.

In the future, Kuramochi will be able to improve by leaps and bounds, which has a lot to do with this competition.

Every baseball player is very proud, especially a player with a skill, holding on to other things, even if he loses, he may not care too much, but in terms of speed, he doesn't want to lose to anyone.

Neither can Sawamura!

Even after half a year of getting along, now he treats Sawamura as his own brother.

He also didn't want to lose to Sawamura in terms of speed.

"Next is the practice of strikes, although the members of the first army are enough now, but there is not too obvious difference in everyone's level, it is likely to depend on your strikes to determine the next back number. Although we don't have to participate in the preliminaries, the list still has to be reported. Normally, the preliminaries start in the middle of the year, so before the 10th, we will decide on everyone's back number. Go for it! ”

Before the striking training began, Coach Ochiai suddenly threw a decoy.

It's a very tempting bait.

Before joining Sawamura, he had just shown an extraordinary state. Everyone is full of confidence in advancing to Koshien in the spring.

At this time, the back number is particularly precious.

The gap between being able to win the main back number and not being able to win the main back number is very large.

Take the retired third-year seniors as an example, the main players basically got invitations to the professional draft.

The substitute players did not have such treatment, and at most they could only get an invitation to the college draft.

Even if the main force can't make grades, Itai, who has a really average sense of existence, has received four invitations to college electives.

If he wants to advance to the profession, it is not impossible to get a recommendation from the school.

As for the replacement, I usually only received one or two invitations.

That's the gap.

If the level difference is too much, everyone won't say anything. The current situation is that everyone's level is about the same, so naturally we have to fight for it.

Except for the original main foursome, other positions can be contested.

So after hearing Coach Ochiai's words, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became strange.
