Chapter 3: I'm Not Available! (3rd Update)
Seido High School Baseball Club, Office of the Superintendent.
There are sofas on each side of the reception table, and Kataoka and Fujio sit opposite each other.
Ota poured tea for the two very affectionately, and then took the initiative to withdraw.
This scene did not escape the eyes of the cunning Fujifu.
It is the instinct of a veteran journalist to speculate on the attitude of the interviewee through a simple detail. Of course, in today's impetuous society, such a statement has been ridiculed by the new generation of reporters and is about to be abandoned.
But as a journalist engaged in sports, Fujifu sticks to the bottom line in his mind, and he always believes that as a senior sports media person, he should have his own unique insights on the interpretation of people's small actions.
Like the article he wrote at the time.
The savior of Seido High School, Kazuya Miyuki!
At that time, many of his peers were dismissive of his opinions, believing that Yukiichi was just a first-year freshman who had just been promoted to Seido. Even if you perform well, you shouldn't be lifted to that height.
But after reading his article, many people were convinced of him.
Because he not only introduced Miyuki's life and performance in the Seido game step by step, but even guessed the psychological activities of this player through some simple small actions.
It's kind of like watching TV and the difference. Some people are obsessed with TV dramas, while others are very preferential. Compared with the dazzling sound and light effects of TV dramas, the transmission of only text is very restrictive.
But even with such restrictions, there are still many people who have a soft spot for it. Compared with the superficiality of watching TV, people who really like to read are actually more emotional.
The difference is the extension of mental activity and thought.
For example, there are 1,000 Hamlets in the minds of a thousand readers. This can be regarded as a classic.
But if it is made into a TV series, and a thousand TV viewers see a thousand Hamlets in their eyes, then the TV series is undoubtedly a failure.
Fujifu is the Shakespeare of journalists.
This praise must have passed, but for a while I can't think of a word that can be compared. In short, he is a man with his own unique insights and vision.
If such a person is not recognized by the public, he is a maverick at best. But once it is recognized by the public, it will be enshrined on the altar.
Fujio was limited by his circle and profession, and did not have the opportunity to go to the altar. However, he has the affection and trust of many professional scouts.
Over the years, the high school players who have been praised by Fujifu can't be said to be talented, but most of them are good.
Compared to their strength, it can even be said that they are inexpensive.
Fujio has always had a good relationship with Qingdao. Especially after Kataoka served as an overseer, the relationship was even closer.
In the past few years when Seido did not enter Koshien, Fujifu did not use his pen to contribute to Kataoka's disciples.
It is said that with their relationship, Kataoka should not have such an attitude when he received his own interview request.
Instead of sitting in a more intimate, sideways position on the sofa, I sat directly across from myself.
This shows that Kataoka is going to confront himself in his heart.
And Minister Ota seems to be very polite just now, but it is obviously an act of evasion, which further corroborates this point.
Disagrees with his own opinions, and he is unwilling to make a public stalemate.
That said, Kataoka didn't plan to help out exactly as he asked for an interview.
Fujifu is not good-looking, especially with a peaked cap, which looks more like that kind of old paparazzi.
Even his action of drinking tea is not elegant.
Take a sip of tea and put the cup back on the tea machine.
Fujio said, "I don't know what I asked for an interview earlier, how did Superintendent Kataoka think about it?" ”
The more hesitant the other party, the more simple and direct you must be, so that it is easier to achieve your goal.
Faced with Fujifu's question, Kataoka was obviously stunned.
But he is also a straightforward person, Fujifu can say it so directly, Kataoka is relieved in his heart.
"To be honest, Qingdao and I have been taking care of you for the past two years. It's a simple interview that we shouldn't say no. But this summer competition, whether it is for Qingdao or for the players, is very important, and no accidents are allowed. Having just won the championship of the Kanto Convention, they are just the time to be complacent. When I was interviewed at this time, I was afraid of messing with their hearts. ”
This means that Kataoka would never say this to Fujio and others.
It's like refusing other media interviews, Kataoka is very tough, he just doesn't accept it, and he drips as much as you like.
"What does the overseer mean?"
Fujifu asked with a frown.
"I can do interviews myself, but as for the interviews with the players, I don't think I need to do it before the summer tournament."
Well?
This result is far from Fujifu's expectations.
With his knowledge of Seido High School, did he still come here to interview Kataoka? With his eyes closed, he can silently write down Kataoka's experience over the years.
Of course, the focus of the interview was on Eijun Sawamura and Akira Shibuyani, who can throw super fast balls.
The most important thing is Sawamura Eijun, that's the real big news!
"Then I wonder if I can interview Sawamura-san?"
The meat show is coming.
Kataoka is not stupid, of course he knows why Fujio came.
"I just said it......"
Kataoka was not allowed to continue to argue, and Fujifu said straightforwardly: "With Sawamura's previous experience, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who will be fluttering because of an interview, right? ”
In high school, Sawamura was just a member of Seido High School, helping the team win the Kanto championship.
When he was in middle school, Sawamura was the first person to stand out from the crowd, a super demon king.
Purely from the perspective of fame, Sawamura is even more famous than the high school baseball stars who are now coming out of Koshien.
In his capacity, he was working hard to promote Akagi Middle School at that time, and he couldn't count the number of interviews he received.
To say that he will mess up his mind because of the interview is tantamount to.
Superintendent Kataoka was speechless.
At this time, Sawamura was in the cowshed, practicing knuckleball.
He still lacks the kind of ball that can directly make the hitter swing away!
"Sawamura, the overseer told you to come over."
At this time, a senior from the three armies came to Sawamura and told him to go to the supervision room.
"What's the matter?"
"I didn't say specifically, but there was a reporter in the reception room, who should have asked you to come over for an interview."
"I'm not available!"
