Saturday, June 29, fine.

Today is the first day of the Nagano Grand Prix Quarterfinals.

The friends of Akagi Middle School arrived early, and the Nagano Metropolitan Baseball Stadium arrived. Nagano Prefecture has a total of two baseball stadiums with a capacity of 10,000 people, both of which are in Nagano City, with Nagano Metropolitan ranking second.

There are a total of eight quarter-finals matches, with four scheduled for Nagano Metropolitan and four scheduled for Matsumoto Stadium.

Akagi was scheduled for the second game, which was scheduled to enter at 10 o'clock. But friends, I rushed to the stadium at nine o'clock to prepare.

By the time they arrived, the competition between CITIC Middle School and Great Northern High School was coming to an end.

In the fifth game, Dabei Middle School led CITIC Middle School 5:0.

"It's huge!"

As soon as you step onto the stands at Nagano Metropolitan Stadium, the first thing that catches your eye is the countless seats. Compared with the small stadium in the Akagi area, this kind of large stadium immediately looks high-end and has a lot of atmosphere.

Looking down from the stands, the whole stadium looks very emotional.

As long as I thought that I would have to compete below in a while, the friends were very excited.

The round of 16 is the round of 16, and compared to the first two rounds, it is not the same thing at all.

It's just a pity that there are still not many viewers. Although the supporters on both sides combined are also 2,000 people. But sitting in the stadium that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, it still looks sparse.

This scene made Sawamura feel very emotional.

Nagano is a small place after all, and it is an inland prefecture dominated by tourism, hot springs and agriculture. The people here are simple, the pace of life is slow, and they are not very active in activities. Unless it's your own relatives who have a game, they generally don't go out of their way to watch it.

Compared to Tokyo, this kind of atmosphere is completely heaven and earth. In Tokyo, even the round of 16 had thousands of spectators. In an eighth-final like this, the number of spectators may be tens of thousands.

When it came to the semi-finals, the finals. As soon as the Jingu Stadium opened, the scene was even more thrilling......

With a wry smile, Sawamura pulled his thoughts out of his memories, and then said with a smile: "Let's go, it's time for us to get ready." ”

In the seventh game of the game, Dabei Middle School had a nine-point lead over its opponent.

The first spot in Nagano's quarterfinals has already been confirmed, and that is Daihoku Junior High School.

"Those guys are so strong!"

Yamaguchi recalled the performance of the Daihoku Middle School players just now, and couldn't help but sigh.

The players of Dabei High School are tall and big, and they are especially good at striking. They often blast the ball into the outfield and look powerful.

The other friends also fell silent one by one, they actually knew that the competition had reached this level, and it was impossible for there to be any weaker people. The opponents they will encounter in the future will definitely be the same as Dabei Middle School, and their strength is terrifying.

Sawamura walked at the back of the line, listening to the discussion of his friends, but he didn't say anything.

Just as the friends were going down the stairs, they ran into a team head-on.

These guys are all wearing white baseball uniforms and look particularly spirited, with a row of small letters written on the chest of their shirts.

Nagano Prefecture Hokushin Junior High School Baseball Team!

Akagi's friends, their faces suddenly turned cold. Beixin Middle School is their opponent who is about to compete.

When opponents meet, they should be tense and full of gunpowder.

But Beixin's players did not do so.

Many of them greeted Akagi's friends kindly.

Or nod, or beckon, or smile slightly, and there seems to be no trace of hostility.

There were also two people who rushed to Akagi's team and picked up Sawamura, making love.

This confused Sawamura, big brother, did we know each other before?

"It was so beautiful before!"

"You are Sawamura junior brother, and you have a lot to do in the future."

……

Sawamura smiled awkwardly, the green tendons on his forehead beating non-stop. At this time, he actually wanted to ask.

Senior, are you sure it's our opponent and not the monkey's invited tease?

Akagi's friends have never encountered such a situation, and they are overwhelmed. In this way, the two sides parted in an extremely friendly atmosphere.

After the game between Dabei and CITIC, Akagi's friends began to enter the locker room on the first base side to prepare.

"These guys are all insane, aren't they?"

Xiao Tian said angrily.

The opponent who is about to fight on the battlefield is such a harmonious way of greeting. Oda, who thinks he is not stupid, is overwhelmed.

Feng Xiang sneered: "Obviously, the opponent has already treated us as lambs to be slaughtered." ”

The seeded team in this group is Shi Lun, Shi Lun capsized in the gutter, and it is not surprising that Beixin Middle School, as a direct competitor in the same group, is so excited.

They should think that Akagi took shit luck in order to get away with Shi Lun. So, I didn't take Akagi to heart at all.

"It's been treated as a soft persimmon!"

Sawamura also figured it out, being underestimated like this, even if he had more than ten years of experience, Sawamura was still angry.

"No matter what, you can't lose this game!"

He said in a deep voice with a cold face.

"Oku!!"

The eyes of the little friends became vicious.

In any case, they also beat Shilun Middle School 3:0 and advanced.

Beixin Middle School looks down on people so much, and they have to let their opponents see the strength of Akagi Middle School.

When it was time for the game to start, Sawamura took the lead, pushed open the door of the lounge, and walked towards the court.

The audience at the scene was much smaller than in the last game between Dabei and CITIC.

In the stands on the Akagi side, dozens of people were sparsely seated. On the other side, there were only five or six hundred people in the stands on the side of Beixin Middle School.

The two sides guessed the fist, and this time, Sawamura unfortunately lost. Beixin Middle School chooses to attack first!

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!"

"Strikeout!!

"Strikeout!!

"Strikeout!!

Nine balls, three strikeouts. With Sawamura's super high ball speed and precise ball control, the players from Hokushin Middle School had no way to hit his ball.

"What a fast ball speed!"

"Akagi is still a first-year pitcher, and he's too capable!"

"That's right~"

"The ball speed is almost 13, even in the third grade, this ball speed is scary enough."

Sawamura's pitch not only amazed the audience, but even the players at Hokushin High School were dumbfounded.

This pitcher in Akagi is too good!

Could it be that Akagi won Shilun before, not by luck, but by genuine strength.

Before the competition with Akagi, the friends of Beixin Middle School were still very relaxed. They thought that Akagi was just a fluke to advance, and they didn't expect that their opponent would have such strength at all!

They thought they would make it to the quarterfinals, but now it doesn't seem like that's the case at all.
