Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fight with the Determination to Fail
"Feng Xiang, you really didn't give up baseball. I think the coach will be happy to see you tomorrow. ”
Braided classmates, that is, Marian. The team at Akagi Middle School, when they were about to leave the court, waited at the door and said.
Sawamura was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly he was stunned.
The two were originally partners of the same capital, so they should know each other.
Feng Xiangao had a cold face, and he didn't mean to talk to the other party.
His posture is also normal to say, although the two were teammates on the same team in the past, but they are also opponents who are about to fight on the field.
As an opponent, naturally there is no obligation to be kind to the other party.
"It's still the same as before, full of pride."
Marian continued disappreciatively: "I admit that this team you pulled up has great potential! But it's a shame that you're all there is to do this this year. ”
As he spoke, Mari also deliberately looked behind Feng Xiang.
No matter how strong Sawamura Eijun and Feng Xiang's personal strength is, they can't win against Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.
dragging so many pig teammates, they just bullied and bullied Beixin Middle School, which has average strength. It's not realistic to compete with Nagano Metropolitan High School.
Of course, he also knows that skills can be honed, and it is impossible for these players in Akagi to always be like this. As long as they have a real ace pitcher on their team, the team is bound to grow rapidly.
Sooner or later, Akagi Junior High School will really pose a threat to Nagano Metropolitan High School.
But, that's not now!
"You..."
Feng Xiang's face turned cold, and he was ready to sneer at him.
"yes, yes!"
Without waiting for Feng Xiang to speak, Sawamura stood up first.
"That's a good point, we don't plan to continue winning! As for people, they must be self-aware and know how many bowls of dry rice they can eat. How can we be satisfied with a small team like ours that has just formed and reached the quarterfinals of Nagano Prefecture in its first major tournament, so how can we be delusional about anything else? ”
Sawamura's upper lips touched his lower lips and said with a bang, which stunned Marian.
This can be said to be the most failed provocation in his life.
Before, regardless of whether the other party had the confidence to win or not, as long as Mari provoked, they would always give some reaction.
Like Sawamura, he first admitted that he couldn't do it, and he had never encountered it.
"Let's go!"
Taking advantage of Marian's stunned efforts, Sawamura led the friends behind him and quickly left the court.
"You're not going to win?"
Feng Xiang asked with a pale face.
Although he also knew that he would fight Nagano Metropolitan High School next, Akagi Middle School had little chance of winning.
But Marian was so annoying just now that he wanted to breathe a sigh anyway.
Not going to win!
These words sounded extremely harsh to Sawamura. But he still endured the harshness and nodded at Feng Xiang.
Not only did he nod his head, but he also gave his reasons.
"What I just said is not entirely sincere, but it is also true. The gap between us and Nagano Metropolitan is very large, and the gap is all-encompassing, almost impossible to bridge, at least in a short period of time. How big is the difference in strength between the two sides? For example, if we play 10 matches against Nagano Metropolitan and win one or two of them, we are very lucky! ”
Feng Xiang Okuichi is not an unreasonable person after all, and he has to admit that what Sawamura said is the truth. As cruel as this fact is hard for him to accept, the facts are the facts.
"Of course, even if there is only one or two points to win, we still have to fight for it. But we have to change our mindset and we can't always think about the chances of winning by one or two points. It's about thinking about what we can learn in this game. Let's see how people fight, how strong they are, where they are expressed, and what we can learn from. I think everyone should be able to learn a lot from this competition. That's what this game means to us! ”
'We're different from all the other teams, we're still young. Most of us are in the first grade, even Senior Feng Xiang and Senior Oda are only in the second grade, and we still have many opportunities. How do you absorb nutrients and thrive? For us, it's a lot more important than the outcome of this game. ”
"We won't practice today, let's go back and rest. Think about it, what kind of attitude should we play tomorrow? Think about what we should all learn and what we are in our hands now......"
After Sawamura finished speaking at length, he found that both Mr. Sano and the friends around him looked at him in surprise.
With the determination to fail, come to the competition!
Such negative energy words are actually said to be high-sounding.
What's even more terrifying is that they actually think that what Sawamura said is very, very reasonable.
Yes, they still have a lot of opportunities, so let's take a good look at the strength of the Nagano Prefecture team.
Everyone no longer has the burden of failure, and the nerves that were originally tense suddenly relaxed a little.
On this night, there should have been a lot of people who had insomnia. But it's amazing that the friends of Akagi Middle School all slept very comfortably at night.
"That's what you really think?"
No matter how high-sounding Sawamura is, Hosho Okuichi doesn't believe that he will give up the fight for victory.
People with similar personalities get to know each other for a short time.
Strictly speaking, Feng Xiang and Sawamura have known each other for more than two months. But Feng Xiang is already very clear about Sawamura's character.
Say Sawamura doesn't want to win? !!
"How is that possible? Are you kidding me? ”
As soon as the friends left, Sawamura immediately changed his face.
The reason why he said that was just to let his friends sleep comfortably.
Even if they can't sleep today, it won't help them for tomorrow's game. Rather than this, it is better to let them cultivate their spirits in a down-to-earth manner, and maybe bring unexpected surprises.
"So, you're planning to unlock the Orb of Change?"
Feng Xiang's eyes lit up.
Sawamura smiled bitterly: "Big brother, you can't mess with me like this, if the opponent is Nagano Metropolitan Tower, even if I sharpen the unlock change ball of the gun, what's the use?" ”
In any case, most of the players at Nagano Metropolitan High School were directly promoted by Nagano Metropolitan Junior High School. It's different from the players of Hokushin and Akagi.
People are professional!
"Then you ......"
"Of course I'm still going to play a straight ball."
Sawamura said lightly.
Nagano Metropolitan Junior High School is a professional in baseball, but he is a professional in Sawamura!
