Chapter 2: The Episode of the Draw of Lots (Part 3)
In the opening battle of Koshien, Nishitokyo Seido High School played against Okinawa Konan High School.
Clear-eyed people know at a glance that there is something greasy in this.
Both are the top giants in the country, not to mention, in this era, they are still strong schools.
Nishitokyo is one of the strongest fierce battle zones in the country, and the teams that come out of here are all strong, or at least have the strength of the strong level.
Not to mention that at the Kanto Conference that just ended, Seido High School also won the championship in one fell swoop.
Koshien and Jingu Games aside, in terms of regional competitions, the Kanto Convention is undoubtedly the most valuable of all the tournaments.
Just by thinking about the places where you attended the Kanto Convention, you can see how high the gold content of the Kanto Convention is.
The team that can win the championship in the Kanto Games must have the best strength in the country!
In the same way, Xingnan University is not weak at all.
Two years ago, Xingnan had just won the summer and spring seasons.
This achievement alone is unimaginable for some other teams.
Looking at more than 4,000 colleges and universities across the country, there are only a handful of teams with such achievements.
In last year's summer competition, although Konan High School did not qualify, it was also the runner-up in the Okinawa area. In the spring of this year, Xingnan University won the top four in the country in the spring armor.
As far as the current Xingnan university is concerned, it is definitely the top team in the country.
In this way, the two teams are on the opposite side of the needle against Mai Mang in the opening match of the national competition?
"If you want to say that there is no cat in here, I will go backwards when I go out."
Kuramochi Yoichi never minds using the greatest malice to guess others.
"Probably not, it's our own people who draw lots, and there aren't many places where you can make trouble. And if there was really any shady, the other seniors would have already exploded. Among the professional baseball players, there is no shortage of big mouths. ”
Yukiichi also thought about it, and finally shook his head.
As far as the grouping situation is concerned, he also thinks that there must be something greasy here. Why did the 49 teams draw lots, and Xingnan High School and Qingdao High School were drawn together?
This is obvious, unreasonable.
From the perspective of probability, the probability of such two teams encountering in the opening game of Koshien is not very large.
But the lottery for Koshien in summer is very transparent.
Again, this is not a draw for the seeding situation.
All the numbers are wrapped in balls, and there is no difference from the outside. The draw is also the captain of their respective teams, and after they come on the field, they will choose a ball at random to draw.
If you want to make trouble under this rule, in addition to the organizers, you must also inform the captains of each team. Otherwise, if the ball they picked out was different from what they preset, wouldn't it be over?
But once the players are notified, this kind of shady curtain is impossible to cover up!
So Yuyuki naturally thinks that this matter is too operable.
"Nothing is impossible."
Sawamura sneered.
"If you want to say that the lottery is strictly regulated, is there anything like the Champions League?"
The most popular sport in the world is football, and the biggest sporting event besides the World Cup is the Champions League.
But even in the Champions League, the draw can be faked.
Here are two small examples.
At the beginning of the fraud, the ball to be drawn was put in the refrigerator to freeze in advance, so that after the person who drew the lot put his hand into it, he touched which ball was cold, and then he would naturally draw the ball.
Of course, in the world of high-definition cameras, such practices are quickly seen through.
Because the frozen balls, in the process of volatilization, will condense into water droplets.
Although it avoided the subsequent inspection, it was still possible to see the clues under the gaze of the high-definition camera at that time.
What happens when this approach is seen through?
Did the organizers stop there?
Of course not.
They changed the soup without changing the dressing, and took the ball to the oven and heated it.
In this way, the flaws are naturally much smaller.
Then one has to ask, why did the organizers do this?
Are those big clubs stuffing money into the organizers?
There may indeed be reasons for bribery, but in addition to the reasons for bribery, there is another point that has to be mentioned, that is, because such a grouping is very beneficial for the organizers.
The fierce collision between Haoqiang can better attract the attention of the audience.
Just like now, in the first round of Koshien, Seido High School was admitted to Hungnam High School.
Such a national top powerhouse, colliding with each other, is naturally more eye-catching.
Didn't you see the audience, they were already cheering and excited, can't you stop?
"It's still unreasonable, the organizer operates independently, how to hide from all the people who draw lots."
Miyuki is a good student, and if you don't understand the questions, you must ask them to the end.
"Have you ever seen a magic trick?"
Sawamura asked.
Miyuki is unknown.
"The box is covered, and the balls inside can be replaced entirely. The organizers are not trying to control all the teams' matches, as long as the main matches are controlled, such as the opening match! ”
Miyuki thought about it for a while, and had to admit that what Sawamura said made a lot of sense.
"What about the evidence?"
It makes sense, but these things are just speculation after all.
"There is definitely no evidence, there is no way he could have let us go to the place where the draw was drawn. But there is one thing that can be corroborated. For example, the second draw for the quarterfinals. ”
The Koshien tournament was drawn over two rounds, with the first draw deciding only the first three rounds. After the quarterfinals, there is still a second draw.
If there was no cheating in Koshien's lottery, then the second lottery would be completely unnecessary.
These things that Sawamura told Miyuki were also analyzed by a friend of his in his previous life.
"Whether it's luck or being manipulated, we have only one goal from beginning to end."
"That is, dominate the country!"
Beside him, the captain suddenly interjected.
"Let's go, line up!"
Under the leadership of the formation, the 18 players of the first army of Qingdao High School formed a circle.
At this moment, including Sawamura, the hearts of everyone in the Qingdao First Army were pounding!
In their minds, the scenes after joining Qingdao High School kept coming to mind.
Everyone present, when they joined Qingdao High School, Qingdao High School was all unlucky.
They are all warriors who are determined to take Seido High School and enter Koshien against all odds.
Now, their dream has finally come true.
Seido High School, after five years, after the efforts of six contestants, finally entered Koshien.
They can hold their heads high and tell all the fans who are in front of the screen.
The former King Qingdao High School.
It's back!!
"Whew!"
In the center of the circle, a long breath was formed.
Then with his thumb, he pressed his heart to the position of his heart, and asked in a loud voice.
"Who are we?"
