Chapter 44: Challenging the Champion Candidate (Part 2)

August 12, fine.

At 34°C, the whole world seems to be transformed into a huge steamer. Even if people stand in the sun and do nothing, they can be exhausted by the evaporated lamp.

On the field of Koshien, the enthusiastic ball is still working hard.

The first match of the day was between Nagano Prefecture and Shizuoka Prefecture.

Shizuoka is a well-known and strong school, and its overall strength is very strong. Before the start of the competition, everyone was looking forward to Shizuoka's performance.

Today's situation is completely different from what everyone imagined.

Shizuoka's players were sweating profusely, sticking out their tongues, and looking extremely embarrassed.

Opposite them, the players from Nagano Prefecture are all fierce dragons and tigers.

Although the sweat on their bodies did not stop, the expressions on their faces were surprisingly relaxed.

The score is 7:1!

In the end, there was not much suspense in this match, and Nagano won the victory.

"Nagano!"

"Nanami!"

"Feng Xiang!"

"Golden Partner!!

After the game, there was a long cheering in the stands.

"Your team from Nagano is also quite good!"

Sitting next to Sawamura, Kuramochi said with envy.

This year's competition, although there is Qingdao High School, a resurrected super strong school. But the biggest dark horse is not Qingdao.

Even if it is five or six years in a row, it has not entered Koshien. But the reputation of Qingdao High School has not been affected too much.

Fans across the country know that even in the days when they didn't make it to Koshien, Seido High School still retains the best strength in the country.

This can be seen by looking at the quality of the players recruited by the professional baseball draft from Seido High School every year.

Therefore, although Qingdao High School is very strong, it is not a dark horse in this competition, because Qingdao will never be a dark horse.

This year's competition, the biggest dark horse.

It's Nagano's Hoshiryu Gakuen!

This Xinglong School Park,It definitely belongs to the kind of school that is not well known.,It is said that it has just been established.。

As soon as they were formed, they recruited troops on a large scale. It brings together all the famous talents of Nagano Prefecture, and even does not hesitate to dig up baseball players from other places.

Three years to sharpen a sword!

Three years after the school was established, they finally entered Koshien and became a blockbuster in Koshien.

Winning this game, Xinglong School is one of the top eight in Koshien.

"The first eight are born, and they are the Star Dragon School from Nagano Prefecture!"

With the passionate and generous voice of the commentary,The entire Koshien stadium sky,The school song of the Star Dragon School Park sounded。

"It's time for us to go!"

Today, the players from Seido High School came to Koshien not just to see the match between Nagano Prefecture and Shizuoka Prefecture.

After all, after the quarterfinals, Koshien's competition will go through a second-round draw. Even if Qingdao High School defeats Xibang High School, Qingdao has no way to determine who his opponent will be in the next game.

At this time, it is very stupid to go to scout the information of other teams, which is like adding to the snake.

The reason why everyone came to see Nagano Prefecture, the competition in the Star Dragon School Park, was purely for Sawamura Eijun.

At that time, after the grouping of the game was sent, Sawamura Eijun saw the situation of the game in Nagano Prefecture.

Star Dragon was in the previous game of Qingdao High School.

Sawamura thought that he hadn't seen Senior Fengxiang and Senior Oda for a long time, so he could take this opportunity to come and see them.

So I decided to set off by myself and rushed to Koshien to watch the game.

When he asked Superintendent Kataoka for leave, Superintendent Kataoka agreed without much hesitation.

After all, Nagano Prefecture is also the hometown of Eijun Sawamura!

When the surrounding players heard that Sawamura was coming to see the game in Nagano Prefecture, they were all excited to join in the fun.

Everyone was suddenly so curious, and Sawamura was still surprised.

After thinking about it, probably before the game with Xibang High School, everyone was a little nervous, and at this time, you can watch a game as a bystander, and you can also help everyone relax the pressure appropriately.

There's no turning back for high school baseball!

In the knockout format, as long as you lose one, you will be eliminated from the competition.

For these seniors in the third grade, there is even a good chance that this will be their last game.

They will feel apprehensive, and rightly so. After all, they are just a bunch of 17-year-olds.

After watching Nagano Prefecture's match against an opponent.

The little friends at Qingdao High School were all surprised.

To be honest, they didn't expect that in Sawamura's hometown, the standard of baseball would be so high.

"Even though it's just a new school, it's not well known. But there is no doubt that their strength has reached the top level in the country. ”

That's what Coach Ochiai said.

Although the appearance is not very pleasing, but Ochiai's vision and insight are definitely the only ones in Seido High School.

The words that came out of his mouth were undoubtedly very objective.

Before Sawamura left,Frequently look back at the rest area of the Star Dragon Academy。

That's amazing!

Haruka Nanami, Okuichi Hosho, Honsen Oda, Mari, Tsuchihara......

The entire Star Dragon Academy,Most of them turned out to be those guys who fought with Sawamura at the beginning.。

One of these guys counts as one, and almost all of them are the best players in the soft ball league at the beginning.

Compared to the guys who received formal training from the junior league, players from the soft ball league are naturally not taken seriously.

This is something that even the major leagues have statistics.

In the island country, as long as those players who are famous in the major leagues, seventy or eighty percent are people who have never touched soft balls since they were children.

When this data was being counted, the media also reported a lot about Sawamura.

He used to play soft ball when he was in middle school!

It's a very special case.

"I don't know if these guys from the soft ball league will have a different future in this life?"

The match between Nagano and Shizuoka is over.

Next is the showdown between Qingdao High School and Xibang High School!

The resurrected king, and the biggest candidate for the champion are facing PK.

This topic alone is enough to detonate the audience.

Today, under the big sun, these spectators came to Koshien to watch the game. Most of it was also to watch Seido High School play against Sebon High School.

In this game, as early as when Koshien decided on the grouping, Seido High School had already prepared.

They had been preparing for too long, and their swords had already been sharpened.

In Koshien, in an aisle connecting the rest area.

The team of Qingdao High School happened to meet the team of Xinglong Academy.。

This is probably the so-called coincidence does not make a book! For today's game, both teams were placed in the rest area on the third base side.
