Chapter 1: Exchange Competition

Tokyo, Inagi Industrial High School Baseball Club, Office of the Kunutome Superintendent.

"This is Mr. Kijima!"

The head of the Daocheng baseball club led a young man who was quite beautiful to the office of the National Friend Superintendent.

The superintendent of Guoyou hurriedly greeted him.

Recently, he has received a lot of visitors, most of whom are consulting Cheng Gongming's whereabouts.

There are also some who consult Carl Ross, White River, and Shanlu where they are going.

In the third grade of Daocheng Industrial High School, there are many star players. Add to that their excellent performance in Koshien in the spring......

It's no surprise that it has caught the attention of professional scouts.

At least these four people, if they choose to enter professional baseball, they will not worry about going home. Cheng Gong Ming's words may even cause the people around him to rob madly.

was specially attracted by the minister of the baseball department, and the national friend superintendent naturally thought that the other party should also be coming for them.

As their overseer, it is natural to behave thoughtfully at this time. Not only for the school, but also to pave the way for these proud disciples under his hands.

Later, under the introduction of their minister, the Guoyou Superintendent realized that the other party did not mean that.

"Baseball in Tokyo is getting more and more attention, so our company decided to sponsor a game."

Kijima didn't say any polite words, and went straight to the point.

At the moment, the TV is still on, and the screen is playing the content of the previous spring competition.

"The top four have been released one after another, they are King Seisho High School from West Tokyo, the old Haoqiang City High School from West Tokyo, and the super dark horse of West Tokyo, Yakushi High School who won the top eight in Koshien in the previous spring. Finally, there is our Imperial Imperial High School in East Tokyo! ”

"These four schools will fight each other in a week's time, on April 27......"

"Also of particular interest are the super aces of these four teams. Mukai Sun, who is known as the successor of the Prince of Tokyo, Sanada Shunpei, the super ace who emerged from Yakushi High School, Amakusa Mitsusei, the ace of the third high rookie of the City University but has already attracted the attention of professional baseball, and the super demon Sawamura Eijun, who we are most looking forward to......"

On the TV, the narrator's voice drifted away.

The Kuniyu superintendent did not respond directly to Kijima's question, but instead set his sights on the television.

Kijima also turned his attention to the TV.

He can generally understand the complicated feelings of the overseer of the country's friends.

"It's a pity, I didn't expect your team to lose in the first round! However, I believe in the strength of your team, and others dare not take it lightly. Moreover, the strength of your team's ace Cheng Gong Ming is definitely not below these four people on TV. ”

The superintendent of the country still did not give any response, but just looked at the lobbyist in front of him with interest.

The atmosphere became solemn unconsciously.

"Although we don't have to play the spring tournament anymore, we still have to participate in the East Timor Conference, and the time may be tight."

Looking at the attitude of his own supervision, the head of the baseball department of Daocheng Industrial understood and immediately spoke.

Although the conclusion has not yet been said, the words of deniance are already about to be blurted out.

"Please listen to me."

Kijima nodded very respectfully, and looked firmly at the supervision of the national friend.

"I hope that this friendly match will be held throughout Tokyo. Using the selection model, the previous top 16 teams each send a representative, and then based on your team's main force. ”

"Why didn't you look for Qingdao High School?"

"I think you're the best overseer in the entire Tokyo area! To coordinate so many different players, you can't just look at the results won by individuals, but also look at experience and experience. ”

Kijima did not shy away from the question of the supervision of the country's friends.

To put it bluntly, he did not trust Kataoka's ability to supervise and believed that the national friend supervisor was the most suitable person.

"Who is the opponent?"

The superintendent of Guoyou changed his indifferent attitude just now and showed interest.

Kijima silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, the overseer of Guoyou is their first choice, and the second choice is the superintendent of Didong High School.

It's just that the superintendent of Didong High School, after all, is older, and he feels that there is no suitable superintendent from Guoyou.

Only if both of these people refuse, he will consider Kataoka.

"It's the kingdom of baseball, the representative team of North America!"

Like a bomb, thrown into a calm lake.

The atmosphere of the scene changed all at once.

The head of the baseball department of Daocheng Industrial subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

With his acumen, he naturally discovered that this was a very rare and good opportunity.

In fact, for third-graders, if their goal is to be a draft, then what they are lacking the most right now is.

A chance to show your strength!

To put it bluntly, fame.

Otherwise, if the scouts of professional baseball can't notice you, how can they draw lots for you in the draft?

The friendly match between the two countries is even more interesting than Koshien.

Not only will the general audience be very interested, but it will also attract the attention of professional baseball scouts.

In such a competition, if you can have an excellent performance, the popularity of the players will also be greatly improved.

"Is it the New York team?"

The Guoyou Superintendent asked directly.

Kijima's heart was shocked.

I didn't expect the Guoyou Supervisor to know so clearly about baseball in North America.

He shook his head regretfully: "Not really. It's a team from the North Coast, though not as well-known as the New York team. But the strength in North America can also be ranked in the top three. ”

The superintendent of the National Friends did not show the slightest regret for this.

To be honest, he was greatly relieved.

As for the strength of those teams in North America, the Guoyou superintendent is well aware. Don't look at it as just a high school coach, but his eyes have never been limited to his own one-third of an acre, and he has always looked at the whole country and the world.

If the opponent is the Dream Team of New York.

It is impossible to win by relying on the team that these star players in Tokyo have put together improvised at all.

It's not that your players are strong, you have to be strong when you form a team. These are two completely different concepts.

But if the opponent is the North Coast team, the combination of star players alone is enough to defeat the opponent.

It's a good opportunity.

You can't blame Guoyou for being too realistic, he can accept such an invitation, and he has a certain amount of selfishness.

If it weren't for his own disciples, he would have wanted to agree to this kind of thing if his brain was convulsive.

After all, before the summer tournament, he was already too busy with his own affairs.

"Please say yes!"

Kijima stood up very respectfully and bowed to the ground.

The attitude is extremely humble.

The Guoyou Supervisor had already made a decision in his heart, so he did not embarrass the other party anymore. Not only did he agree very happily, but he even took the initiative to reach out and help the other party up.

"When?"

"I want to arrange it after the Jingu tournament is over and before the summer tournament begins."

The Jingu Tournament starts in May, and the Summer Contest starts in July.

That is to say, it is scheduled for June!

"No problem! But I'd like to be able to move forward a little bit, so that there will be no problem after the Jingu meeting is over, and it can start at any time. ”

The attitude of the supervision of the national friend made Kijima very happy.

Of course, it was not a temporary idea, in fact, the project was already in place last winter.

Preparations have also been made.

It's just that Kijima's ideal coach has been playing in the spring Koshien, so he has never found a chance to open his mouth.

This invitation has been postponed until now.

"By the way, there's one last thing."

"Huh?"

"If it's convenient, the other party hopes that Sawamura Eijun can play."

After saying this, Kijima left.

The minister of the baseball department of Daocheng Industrial said with great emotion.

"I didn't expect Sawamura Eijun to have such a high reputation in North America."

Of course, this request was not made by the organizers themselves, but by the other party.

If those players in North America didn't know Sawamura's name, how could they possibly make such a request?

"It's no surprise that his strength has caught the attention of big and small leagues."

"Then do we need to make an invitation to Superintendent Kataoka? We're about to face each other in the summer tournament, and I'm afraid it's hard for Superintendent Kataoka to let their ace come to Inagi at this time, right? ”

"The invitation is definitely invited, and as for whether to come or not, that's what people mean."

The Guoyou superintendent said expressionlessly.

Being able to personally guide Sawamura Eijun, he also has such expectations in his heart.

However, it is difficult to say whether Superintendent Kataoka will give him a chance or not.

The twisted melon is not sweet, and if the other party is really unhappy, the supervision of the national friend will not force it.

"Agreeing to such a request is also a dilemma for us."

The head of the baseball department of Daocheng Industrial shook his head and smiled bitterly.

As you can imagine, out of all the selected contestants. There must be someone who is very good at gathering intelligence.

If the players of Daocheng Industrial High School want to have a good performance, they must show real skills.

Inevitably, their intelligence will be leaked.

But if they don't show their real skills, they will waste such a good opportunity.

That's why he said he was in a dilemma.

"The other party's situation is the same as ours, not to mention the Divine Palace Conference."

The Governor shook his head.

Some illusory things in the future, he is no longer willing to think about it.

The most important thing now is to grab everything that can be grasped in front of you.

Just like now, such an opportunity for players to show their strength, he is unwilling to let go.

can press North America and abuse the other party.

It's definitely enough to make these players really famous.

That way, they will have a much smoother journey to the draft.

Not to mention that when it comes to the summer tournament, they are not completely unprepared.

The matter was settled, the day after the Guoyou overseer agreed to be the coach.

At the Tokyo Games, all the teams that made it to the round of 16 were invited.

These 16 people plus nine people from Inagi Industrial.

A whole new team was formed.

They will play for a team from Tokyo and the West Coast of North America.

The other teams were given a spot, and many didn't even name anyone.

That is, let the team choose who will come.

Another team was invited for two places.

And it's not just two casual people, they both point to each other by name.

That team was Seido High School.

For the name of the invitation is their team's four batters, the main catcher, Miyuki Kazuya.

and the ace in their team.

Eijun Sawamura!
