Chapter Forty-Eight: The Eve of the Decisive Battle
Sawamura couldn't make up his mind, so he immediately decided to throw out this headache and let everyone discuss it.
It's not that Sawamura wants to shirk responsibility, it's just that he doesn't know how to choose this kind of thing. If he knew what to do right, then he would definitely decide without hesitation. Even if someone says that he is strong and domineering, Sawamura doesn't care, as the leader of the team, if he doesn't have the courage at all, he won't lead the team.
The problem is that Sawamura himself doesn't know how to decide this matter, and when he doesn't know what to do himself, he can only listen to other people's suggestions and discuss an idea. Anyway, it's all a gamble, of course, you have to choose a practice that everyone agrees with, so that even if you fail in the future, Sawamura himself and everyone will be easier to accept.
In the evening, everyone gathers together to discuss tomorrow's tactics against Tenryuji Middle School.
When Sawamura had a showdown with everyone about these things he had thought about, everyone was dumbfounded.
Sawamura has experienced this incident, he went to high school in the previous world, and after the spring competition, the top two teams in Tokyo also participated in the Kanto Conference. The rules are similar to the current rules, the same district, two representative schools. At that time, Sawamura's high school reached the finals of the Tokyo area Spring University. is facing exactly the same situation as the current Akagi.
Do you go all out to win the championship and try to take advantage of the first round of the Kanto Convention, or use the bench to save your strength.
Sawamura's high school at the time did not hesitate to choose the latter. Compared to the champions of the Spring University, they are not willing to divulge more information about themselves to the opponents they may encounter in the Kanto Conference. And according to Sawamura's experience, 90% of the other schools that made it to the finals would do so.
Of course, the current Akagi is in a different position from the high school where Sawamura was in his previous life. The high school where Sawamura was in his previous life was a well-known wealthy family in the whole of Tokyo and even the whole country. They don't have any ambitions for the Chunda champion. The honor of the Spring Champion is like a chicken rib for them.
It's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless!
Akagi Middle School is different, the Akagi Middle School baseball team, since its establishment, has not won any honors. Champions, even if only county champions, have an incredibly strong attraction for them.
Sawamura and Fengxiang Okuichi are better, and in terms of the honors they have achieved, the champion of a county competition naturally can't attract them. But other friends don't have the same experience as them, and the champion of a county competition is enough for them to brag about it for a long time in their later lives.
Sawamura had experienced this kind of thing in his previous life, and other friends, including the two teachers Sano and Wada, had this kind of experience? When Sawamura asked, all of them were stupid.
Then they stared at Sawamura with pure eyes, but they didn't speak.
Sawamura stared at them for five minutes, and finally had to lose. He has a pair of eyes, how can he be an opponent with twenty pairs of eyes on the other side?
"That's the way it is, whether it's to keep the strength or go all out to win the championship, there's nothing wrong with that."
Sawamura spread his hands and motioned for everyone to express their opinions enthusiastically.
Ashin, as the first horse boy under Sawamura, of course can't watch his boss sit at this time. immediately took over the topic: "Even if we fight to the death with Tianlong Temple, we may not have a chance of winning." Rather than leaking all your own information, it may not necessarily lead to a good result, so it is better to retain your strength and participate in the Kanto Conference as a dark horse. ”
Sawamura glanced at Ashin in surprise, he really didn't expect his hair to have such insight. Fighting with Tianlong Temple, not to mention victory or defeat, its own strength is exposed, and it is certain that it will arouse the vigilance of other teams.
Among the sixteen teams in the Kanto Conference, there is no cabbage to give away points, and it is very problematic whether Akagi, whose strength is all exposed, can win two games in a row, advance to the semifinals, and secure a national quota. On the contrary, if you don't fight to the death with Tenryu Temple, Akagi, who retains the identity of a dark horse, will have a much greater success rate of winning two games in a row by surprise. In any case, the current Akagi's real strength is also enough to reach this level, and he is qualified to compete for a place in the national competition.
In this case, hiding in the shadows and playing the enemy will despise the dark horse who does not know the depths. It is far more advantageous than the strong opponent of Tianlong Temple, one of the top four in the country.
You must know that it is now half a month before the Kanto Conference, and if the opponent has the details of Akagi, they will have enough time to think about the tactics.
Ashin's statement made Sawamura agree with it. It's just that when you hear this, it's not very comfortable to hear. You must know that the slogan that Akagi shouted at the beginning, but to provoke the three kings, he said that he may not be able to win Tianlong Temple.
Isn't that a slap in the face?
Sawamura nodded, not saying anything. Instead, he turned his face and asked the others, "What do you think?" ”
The friends looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
To be honest, quite a few of them are very ambitious about the Nagano champion. Just like what Sawamura worried about before, they are not Sawamura, and deep down they are skeptical of the goal set by Sawamura. It's that easy to get to the national competition. Although they have now been qualified to participate in the Kanto Games, but before Nagano Metropolitan Junior High School and Daihoku Junior High School, didn't they qualify for the Kanto Games? But as a result, they were not defeated at the Kanto Conference.
In the Kanto region, there are only four and a half places that can participate in the whole country, and only one can be allocated to two regions on average. This kind of fight is much more difficult than picking up the three kings of Nagano Prefecture.
"If we really aim for the national competition, I think it's better for us to keep our strength."
Feng Liang Zhengtai, who is the dog-headed military advisor of Sawamura, spoke second: "Compared with Tianlong Temple, although we also have confidence. But if we overturn two other county giants with similar strength to Tianlong Temple, there is no doubt that our chances of winning will be greater. After all, people from other counties don't know us as well as Tianlong Temple. As long as we are surprised to score, we can win. Not to mention that the odds of winning are higher, even if the odds are five-five, I think it is more cost-effective to choose the latter. After all, being able to participate in a national tournament is much more gravitational than a simple Nagano champion. ”
Sawamura nodded secretly when he listened, and he was still able to speak. The same meaning, coming out of his mouth, is much stronger than Ashin's stupidity. And his remarks are undoubtedly more inflammatory.
After listening to the cool words, the friends of the baseball team of Akagi Middle School were short of breath.
