Like a tornado, Akagi Junior High School, which swept through the entire Nagano Prefecture regional competition, fermented for a few days before falling silent.

After all, they did not completely rewrite the situation in Nagano Prefecture, and it was still two of the three kings who represented Nagano Prefecture at the Kanto Conference, Tenryuji Junior High School and Daihoku Junior High School!

Daihoku Middle School, in the first round of the Kanto Conference, met Kanagawa's king Yokooka School Park, was abused into slag, and stopped in the top 16 of the Kanto Conference. Well, there are a total of sixteen teams participating in the Kanto Conference, and they are not too out of line, and there are seven difficult brothers to accompany them.

In the semifinals, Tenryuji Middle School, which was almost calculated by Sawamura, was ashamed and brave. With Haruka Nanami as the core, they used their mobility to create opportunities, narrowly defeated their opponents by small scores several times, and finally reached the final of the Kanto Conference.

In the finals, Tenryu Temple lost to the Kanagawa King Henggang School Park, unfortunately lost, and Nanami Haruka was beaten by Henggang to score three points!

Tenryuji Junior High School then performed well in the country, making it all the way to the semi-finals, losing to Hokkaido's Kita-Komaki Junior High School in the semi-finals, and then losing in the third- and fourth-place competition.

It was only one step away from squeezing into the top three in the country and ranking fourth.

Akagi Middle School's own friends accepted this result very calmly. I wasn't too depressed because of my failure. Especially after Tenryuji Temple won the fourth place in the country and created the best record in Nagano Prefecture in the last 20 years. Akagi's little friend suddenly felt more relaxed.

Anyway, they lost to the fourth place in the country. Their strength should still be quite strong.

Then there is the national competition, which is not generally intense, and what is more interesting is that there are Kanto No. 1 left and right throws. The left is cast into Gong Ming, and the right is cast into Nanami Haruka......

There are many others like them, who are only in the first and second grades, but have become the core players of their respective teams.

Great next generation!

These next-generation players will inevitably lead a new era of middle school baseball in the coming year.

In the media, "Baseball Boy", which has the most strength and resources, also screened 100 players and made a cartoon book. There is no specific ranking above, but it is broadly divided into three categories.

At the top of the list are the 12 people who have made it to the country and have performed well in the country. These people, the six members of the Soft Ball League and the six members of the Hard Ball League, are called the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

There are 36 people in the second column, and among these people are not only from the soft ball league, but also many powerful characters in the hard ball league. Of course, the soft ball league has a large player base, and it accounts for a relatively larger proportion.

These two columns have actual records to check, and the batting rate, base rate, and defense success rate are all scary. On top of that, the team they're in, and their individual position in the team, is also up to the mark.

In other words, they are all proud sons of heaven who stand at the pinnacle of life.

Next is the third column, some players who have no national experience, but "Baseball Boys" think have great potential, a total of fifty-two. Interestingly, among the more than 50 people, the people in the hard ball league, that is, the players who directly belong to the youth baseball, account for more important, but there are few players in the soft ball league with many players.

The next-generation talent list of "Baseball Boys" was released, and Sawamura was on the list.

Sawamura himself doesn't care much about this. He had experienced this kind of thing too many times in his previous life, and when he was a student, although he didn't make many lists. But in the profession, he is often on the list.

Whether it's in this country or in the big league.

To put it bluntly, this is just a means for the media and sponsors to increase the popularity of the topic. In addition to the recognized tournament records and various titles, professional baseball scouts simply don't collect their own stuff from their own databases.

But the friends are different, they are still very keen on Sawamura being on the list.

Nagano, Akagi Junior High School, Eijun Sawamura.

Position: Pitcher, 4 bats.

The core of the team led Akagi Junior High School to the semifinals of Nagano Prefecture and defeated the powerful Nagano Metropolitan High School. In the direct dialogue with the fourth place in the country, Tianlongji Middle School, there was no downfall.

Pitcher (passing) strength rating: four stars

Strike strength evaluation: three and a half stars

Garrison strength evaluation: four and a half stars

Speed strength evaluation: three stars

Tactical execution strength evaluation: five stars

Potential estimate: four and a half stars.

Overall Assessment: Twenty-four and a half stars!

Although Sawamura is ranked in the third echelon, his evaluation is very high. According to the total number of stars, Sawamura's ranking is just a little worse than the twelve heavenly kings above twenty-five stars.

Thanks to the strong publicity of "Baseball Boy", Sawamura's daimyo had already spread in small circles before he reached the national competition. Everyone knows that Nagano Prefecture has a good pitcher named Sawamura.

Although Sawamura is not very interested in his own ranking and evaluation. But I like this list very much.

On this list, he saw quite a few acquaintances. Of course, these are all acquaintances from his previous life, and now Sawamura knows them, but they don't know Sawamura.

Let's talk about the Twelve Heavenly Kings first, here, Sawamura knows almost half of them. Some of these people were his high school rivals, and some were friends he had met in the professional arena. With the addition of Haruka Nanami and Narumiya Ming, Sawamura knows no more, no less, and ten of them.

It's not surprising that there are two Sawamura that haven't heard of it.

It's been an hour, and the big players are not necessarily good. On the baseball field, it's too much.

Injuries, mental imbalances, temptations, and a dislike of working in baseball in the future, or a body that doesn't develop after middle school......

In addition to talent and hard work, luck is sometimes a very important prerequisite for the birth of a true professional baseball player.

Among the other more than 80 people, Sawamura has even more acquaintances.

Miyuki, Mima, Kawakagami Aga, Shirakawa, Carl Rose, Takasaki, Mukai......

"Whew!"

With a long sigh, Sawamura smiled and shook his head. He was not surprised that Yu Xing was not ranked among the Twelve Heavenly Kings. If the memory is correct, the youth stick where Yuyuki was in middle school doesn't seem to be particularly outstanding. Although he often wins, he has never made it to the final in a tournament.

This is still the time when he drank with Cheng Gong Ming, and listened to Cheng Gong Ming muttering, Yu Xing himself would not talk about such a bad thing.

Summer nights always come very late.

Sawamura sat quietly at home preparing to eat, when the TV was turned on and an advertisement popped up.

"Wenchen Cup, the war is rekindled. Who will be able to represent Nagano Prefecture in the nation this time? Is it Tenryuji Middle School, which is one of the top four in the country, or Nagano Metropolitan High School, which is making a comeback, or Daihoku Junior High School, which lost in the first round of the Kanto Tournament......"

Every team comes out, it's a picture. The photos are arranged in an arrow-shaped pattern, with the core of the team at the lead, followed by the main players of the team on either side. Above the players, is their coach.

The last photo, freeze frame.

"Is it the three kings defending the title, or is there a dark horse stirring up the situation."

Here, the name of the Dark Horse School is not mentioned, but this photo is very interesting.

Below is the flame, and above the flame, there is a line of small golden letters, Nagano Akagi Junior High School.

Above the small characters is Sawamura, and on both sides of Sawamura are Fengxiang and Wakana. Then there are the friends of Akagi Middle School, Oda, Yamaguchi, Nakagawa Shin, Kazeryo Masatasu, and Yamazaki brothers.

At the top of the line, Sano's chubby hands were spread out, looking very imposing.

Although the name of Akagi is not mentioned at the end, this photo stays the longest. One of the three kings stayed for only three or four seconds, but the photo of Akagi stayed for a full ten seconds.

Then there is the start time of the Wenchen Cup, as well as the introduction of the stadium arrangement.

After the ad ends.

Parents and grandfather, staring at three pairs of big eyes, looked at Sawamura incredulously.

This movement is very wrong. They knew that Sawamura was playing baseball. But in their opinion, this is just a child's house, no professional baseball stadium, no professional coach, a bunch of children messing around together, what else can they do?

But now it doesn't seem like that's the case.

Why are you still on TV? And looking at that posture, Akagi Middle School seems to be one of the very promising contenders in the whole of Nagano Prefecture.

"Xiaorong, can you give my mother an explanation?"

Mom is always gentle, and she makes Sawamura's little meatballs at every turn. But now she has a smile on her face, and it looks like she wants to eat Sawamura alive.

Sawamura ate the rice balls in his hand very calmly, he knew why his mother was so angry. For those who have just graduated from elementary school, they spend almost all their lives with their mothers.

It was only in middle school that Sawamura began to have his own circle. Before, the mother and son got along day and night and talked about everything, but now Sawamura has such a big achievement and hides it from her. As a mother, it is understandable to feel uncomfortable.

"It's nothing, it's just that we reached the semi-finals of Nagano Prefecture in the previous tournament."

As he spoke, Sawamura clenched his fists unwillingly. One step short, just one step away they won. Although the small partner was very indifferent to losing to the fourth place in the country, Sawamura was different.

Even if he is well trained, in Sawamura's opinion, the guys in Tenryu Temple are just a bunch of little kids. Sawamura is still very unwilling to lose to them.

But that's the case with baseball, it's not basketball. If it's basketball, as long as a person is particularly powerful, it's not impossible to crush the whole court. Baseball is different, unless it is Superman, there is no team that can defeat all opponents by one person.

"Oh, I see."

The hot grandfather behaved very calmly, and the calm made Sawamura a little surprised.

"You bastard, why didn't you inform us of such a big thing? Do you have the consciousness of being a grandson? ”

In the blink of an eye, Grandpa's volcano erupted, revealing his true nature.

In this regard, Sawamura was not to be outdone: "Alas, I haven't complained yet." The semi-finals were broadcast on a local TV station, didn't you watch them? Even if you don't look at it, don't your neighbors tell you? Do you really care about your grandson who plays baseball? ”

Belch......

was complained by Sawamura, and his grandfather and parents were silent.

During this time, it is the harvest season, and they are also busy, okay? Besides, there aren't a few neighbors who watch baseball, right?

"Even then, you should have told us. After all, we're your family! ”

Father said with an old-fashioned face, with his hip-hop non-mainstream dress, it looks very much like that.

Sawamura was embarrassed: "I want to too, but what can I say, saying that I have reached the top four in the county, come and cheer me on." It feels like a kid showing off his report card and asking for a lollipop. ”

"You don't want to be too stinky!"

Grandpa feels the same way, but he doesn't like Sawamura who is neither big nor small.

Sawamura: It's not all taught by you.

The cultivation of a family atmosphere is not something that one person can decide. It's determined by the personality of the family.,It looks like the atmosphere is in full swing.,In the eyes of others, it may not be big or small.,But in the eyes of Zemura's own family.。

This is the best bond and the most comfortable state of coexistence between their relatives.

As for the team's results, Sawamura didn't want to hide it from his family at first. It's just that he wants to wait until he enters the Kwantung Conference.
