Sakurasawa is an almost unknown school in terms of sports, but in Tokyo, it is one of the best high schools to go to.

This reality is doomed, and people who can come to Sakurasawa to go to high school will not be too interested in baseball or other sports.

When Kikukawa was appointed as the leading teacher, he was still a little motivated.

He changed into his team uniform on the first day and prepared to go to the training ground to watch the players train.

Unexpectedly, he and the players who finished training happened to go to the opposite side.

"Is the training already over? I changed my clothes......"

Looking at Kikukawa, who was serious, the contestants from Sakurasawa High School were surprised.

Obviously, they didn't expect that their own team leader would be so conscientious and responsible.

"This, everyone has to tutor today......"

"Professor, you were also shirked by other teachers to become a club advisor, right? So we don't need to force ourselves to watch us practice, we just want to use our spare time to move our bodies. ”

"Let's go first~"

For 20 consecutive years, the first round of the competition was eliminated.

At Sakurasawa High School, no one felt ashamed of this kind of record, and even took participating in the tournament as a kind of commemoration.

Until they appeared!

After school, there is still a training figure on the court.

This incident deeply touched Kikukawa's heart.

It turns out that not everyone doesn't care.

At that time, he felt that his dead heart was alive again.

The three people who brought him change were the pitcher Nagatsuaki, the catcher Hisho, and the hitter Masaaki Inamoto.

In terms of the qualifications of the three people, they are definitely not the kind of talented players, and when they are young, they are just that kind of substitutes.

Inamoto is better, he is a semi-main force and a semi-substitute, and he can play occasionally.

Changxu Ming and Risuo, the entire middle school years, have never played at all.

On the first day they met, the three of them were practicing baseball and were talking non-stop.

"It's so late, aren't you going back?"

Sanae Kikukawa, looking at them strangely, asked.

Even he didn't pay attention to how apprehensive his tone was at that time.

"The thought of being able to compete makes me so excited."

Chang Xuming, who could only serve as a substitute throughout middle school, has a crazy obsession with being able to play.

"We have just the right number of players, so we in Year 1 will be able to play right away!"

Catcher Day, tell the truth.

"They have always been substitutes in their junior high school days, and when they finally get the opportunity to play, of course they will be excited."

Inamoto unceremoniously exposed his friend's old bottom.

"Shut up, you're not even a substitute."

Not only is there a passion for training, but the kind of friendship between friends is also very moving.

At that time, Chang Xuming proposed that he had a kind of ball and wanted to give it a try.

"Head Coach, if ......"

"Although the probability is considered to be almost 0%, wouldn't it be amazing if we could make it to Koshien? Don't you think you can change the way the world thinks? ”

This sentence is forever imprinted in Kikukawa's heart.

"Koshien, you have such a dream, I already know it. But that's just a dream, and you have to put in more effort if you want to get more. ”

Since then, the entire Sakurasawa High School has changed.

This team, a year later, won its first game!

Although it was not a beautiful practice game, this victory changed the team's mind.

Winning is always a joy to make.

It was also from that time that Kikukawa became motivated.

He knows very well that the whole team is centered around the pitching of Chang Sumei.

If they want to win, they have to hone their team on this foundation.

First of all, of course, the first point is to strengthen the defense, and then the attack.

He wrote down the problems that each player had to overcome in a notebook and handed them to everyone. Whenever there is something that you care about, even when you are practicing, you write it down in your notebook.

Nerds have nerdy ways.

From a ball skill to a daily problem, a goal. As the number of notebooks increased, so did the number of practice matches you won.

This year, Sakurasawa High School has finally come to fruition.

They made it all the way to here, competing against the king of Nishitokyo, Inagi Industries.

"Ping!"

The white ball is hit and lands directly in front of the infielder. The infielder receives the ball, passes to first base, and Shirakawa is out.

"Very well, shortstop!"

"Great!"

"Beautiful!"

In the stands, several of the players from Seido High School were confused.

Miyuki asked, looking at Chris in surprise.

"Senior Chris?"

"That's right!"

Chris nodded affirmatively: "This guy is, butterfly ball pitcher!" ”

Rest area of Daocheng Industrial.

"How?"

The players of Daocheng Industry are also asking Baihe how he feels.

"Although I found it when I watched the film, I didn't expect his butterfly ball to be so powerful!"

Bai He pouted dissatisfiedly.

On the side, the national friend supervised, but he had a different idea.

There are some things that need to be found in the details.

For example, a pass to first base.

Sakurazawa's players, never reluctantly, passed directly into the gloves of the first basemen. Instead, let the ball bounce to the ground once, and then catch it.

In this way, the entire guard time must have increased.

From this point, it is not difficult to see the level of Sakurazawa's team.

Their strength is not good, and there is not enough time to train.

But if they can think of such a clever way, it means that they know themselves very well.

The stadium is like a battlefield, and it is terrible to be able to know the opponent who knows oneself and the opponent!

"Ping!"

It looks like a slow ball, the third batter of Daocheng Industry, can't help but shoot.

After the white ball was hit, it flew far away.

"Smack!"

In the end, the baseball landed in the gloves of the Sakurasawa high school players.

"Out!"

In the first half of the first game, Inagi Industrial attacked.

Sakurasawa High School managed to let the opponent, three up and three down.

"Could that be the legendary butterfly ball!"

"Sakurasawa High School's garrison is really powerful, although it's not very good-looking!"

……

The rest area of Sakurasawa High School.

The superintendent of Sakurasawa High School excitedly stretched out his fist at Chang Xuming.

"Good vote!"

"Amin!"

"Your ball can also be effective against the hitters of Daocheng Industry."

"It only took two years to hone the ball to this point, and I'm so proud of you!"

Hearing the praise of his own supervisor, although Chang Xuming was very happy, he did not lose his mind because of this.

"Overseer, you're in such a hurry! If you can't win this game, the previous efforts are still just a dream. ”
