Chapter 21: It's on Fire! (2nd Update)
"The Great Demon King Zemura was born!"
"The demon king has arrived, and the king has retreated!"
"Sawamura Great Demon King, who can stop you?"
The appearance of Sawamura was like a nuclear bomb exploding, which immediately plunged the entire island nation into a frenzied mood.
This phenomenon is especially popular in the Kanto region.
Although the rest of the country is a little worse, Sawamura can also be seen. This is not the previous network, there are many TV stations that have reported on Sawamura!
Television is still very different from the Internet.
The online platform, although it is also popular, has a fixed audience. There are generally more young people, and there is a need for young people who are interested. Only if he is interested, he will take the initiative to search.
On a platform like the Internet, the audience is too active. He just isn't interested, and you can't force it. No matter how well you do, he gently clicks one to close, and it's useless.
But TV campaigns are different!
Many families have a tradition of watching TV together at night, unless you don't watch it, you have to watch whatever it puts on.
It has a certain obsessiveness.
In addition, the audience of the propaganda platform of television is much older than the average age of the online audience. Across the country, there are many people of all ages, young and old, who are interested in baseball. But not all people who like baseball spend their days on the Internet.
Akagi's competition in Yokozuna was originally only purchased by a dozen local TV stations in the Kanto region.
Therefore, when the game was in progress, these dozen TV stations were also responsible for the live broadcast.
Seventeen strikeouts, the demon king was born, the king was defeated, and the final reversal, the legendary game ......
When these buzzwords kept appearing, TV stations in other places couldn't sit still. Sometimes one has to admire the sensitive nose of media people, who quickly realize that there is heat on this topic.
Someone will be happy to watch this game!
That night, six major national stations, including TV Tokyo, bought the rights to broadcast the game.
It doesn't matter if Akagi isn't famous, it's enough to have Yokozuna.
The drama of warriors slaying dragons, appearing in any major event, is a hot topic.
TV, Internet, National Television, Broadcasting ......
After a series of operations, almost all the people who like baseball in the country know the name of Sawamura.
The strongest player of the next generation, Eijun Sawamura.
Sawamura is on fire, and the fire is a mess.
Even if you don't have a lot of love for baseball, you've heard the name Sawamura somewhat.
Curious, there are also many people who deliberately searched for the name of Sawamura.
The first option that came up was an article called 'Demon King Cultivation'.
The article was published by Baseball Boys.
This article not only records in detail the progress and miracles created by Akagi in the past year and a half, but also an interview with Sawamura, a topic of conversation.
The interview was conducted a year ago, when the newly established Akagi Junior High School baseball team defeated Nagano Tsuritsu, one of Nagano's leading snakes, as a dark horse.
The interview is not very long, and the whole article is about 500 words.
But these more than 500 words make people know a different Akagi and a different Sawamura.
"What's your dream?"
One of the most impressive is the answer to the last question of the interview, Sawamura.
"My dream is too big to mention. At this stage, I just want to take this group of friends to enter the country. ”
"If you just want to make it to the whole country, wouldn't it be better to join the strong team? For example, Tenryuji Temple or Nagano Metropolitan Stand? ”
"No, if I join other strong teams, what does it mean to make it to the whole country? I don't play baseball to make it to the whole country, I play baseball for my dreams. I don't want to join any strong team, I want to create a strong team with my own hands! ”
I don't want to join any strong team, I want to create a strong team with my own hands!
Crazy, crazy is gone!
If this report had been released a year ago, there would have been countless verbal and written criticisms waiting for Sawamura.
How can you be so flamboyant in this humble country?
But now, everything is different.
People are crazy, but crazy people have strength.
Akagi has stepped on the corpse of the giant Yokozuna and proved himself, who dares to say that Akagi is not strong? Don't talk about Akagi is Sawamura's one-man team, you must know that Sawamura is also a member of Akagi.
Sawamura is strong, which represents Akagi strong!
Sawamura's arrogant personality is naturally disliked by some people in this country.
"Although I have strength, I am too rude."
"Sure enough, it's from the countryside, but it's uneducated."
"Wait, Akagi will suffer sooner or later."
On the Internet, many people complained about Sawamura.
Of course, more people worship Sawamura.
"What's wrong with our madness, we have the strength. If you have the ability, you also took seventeen strikeouts from Yokozuna? ”
"I hate these beeps the most because they don't have the strength, the stadium is like a battlefield, of course, the strength is the first."
"Bow to the Great Demon King's forces!"
……
The controversy on the Internet pushed Sawamura even harder.
Overnight, Sawamura crushed the Twelve Heavenly Kings of his time and became the most well-known middle school player of his time.
At this time, the media waiting to interview Akagi and Sawamura were lined up outside the hotel.
In this regard, Sawamura adopted a consistent strategy, pushing it all to Wada and Sano.
"You can say anything, but as a rule, the contestants will never be interviewed until the end of the Kanto Games. After the Kanto Conference, you can arrange an exclusive interview with Senior Feng Xiang and Senior Oda. ”
Wada and Sano were excited and worried to deal with the reporters.
The friends concentrated on preparing for the semi-finals.
Everyone also knows that Akagi is on fire, and of course they know that it is Sawamura who is on fire, not them. So in terms of mentality, it's quite calm. It's to Sawamura will take Fengxiang and Oda for an exclusive interview, and I feel a little guilty.
Teenagers, who doesn't aspire to be famous?
Needless to say, Senior Feng Xiang deserves his name.
But Oda's performance in this game is similar to that of the others, and he didn't show any performance.
If it is really in terms of contributions, Hirota, who cooperates with the wind and cool of acting and plays a goodbye hit, seems to be more qualified than Oda.
"Senior Feng Xiang and Senior Oda are about to graduate. So far, there are no famous high schools to invite, is this okay? As brothers, we have to help them out, and if the game isn't particularly tough, try to create opportunities for the two seniors to perform......"
Profound~
The friends suddenly realized.
I see!
Yes, the others have at least two chances to compete, and Feng Xiang and Xiao Tian will graduate soon.
This is a great opportunity for them to carp to jump the dragon gate, and if they can get an invitation from a prestigious high school, they may have a chance to enter Koshien. (In this country, if you've played in Koshien, you'll feel almost as rewarding as if you've played in the NBA.) )
You must know that most of the invitations to famous clubs are aimed at those who have received hard baseball training since childhood. Although there are many people in the soft ball league, the famous high school students still prefer to believe in the education of the hard ball league.
So they don't have many students in the soft ball league, that is, ordinary high schools like Akagi.
