Chapter 48: Winning Streak (Part 2)
With a smile on his mouth as if he was about to cramp, Sawamura barely managed to cope with the melon-eating crowd who came to visit the 'orangutan'.
This seems to be even more tired than before, and these melon-eating people would not ask Sawamura to take a photo and sign an autograph before. Now they have to sign autographs and take a group photo......
"No, if it goes on like this, I'll die."
To satisfy the vanity of the old man and make the old man happy, Sawamura is indeed willing to make some sacrifices. But if it is like this time every time in the future, Nazawamura estimates that the muscles on his face will stiffen.
Later, find a suitable opportunity and be sure to have a good talk with the old man.
The national competition is the national competition, and the various arrangements are much stronger than the local competitions.
The pre-match interview, the post-match interview, was very thorough.
This time, too, Sawamura took Hosei and Yamaguchi, the players representing Akagi, to be interviewed.
The brightest moment of this game was the three consecutive home runs.
The hitter of the three home runs, in an interview, is understandable.
"Yamaguchi-san, how much do you weigh?"
"What do you usually eat?"
"How do you stay flexible when you're so obese?"
……
In every interview, Sawamura is the main character. This time, his originally stiff smiling face, with a difficult almost arc, was ready to accept the indiscriminate bombardment of reporters. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the interview, the reporter ignored him at all.
All the microphones and lenses were aimed at Ken Yamaguchi.
This guy is so popular!
Don't say that Feng Xiang doesn't have a taste in his heart, it is a little difficult for Zecun himself to accept.
Good figure, is there any benefit to this?
In fact, Sawamura and Feng Xiang are star players, and both of them are about to be investigated by pervasive reporters to their ancestors for eight generations. For example, a small magazine even exposed the relationship between Fengxiang Aoyi and Fengxiang Longyi.
Feng Xiang Long Yi and Ao Yi's mother first divorced, and then the two remarried.
The news of their remarriage, Feng Xiang Aoyi still learned from the gossip magazine.
At that time, Feng Xiang Aoyi himself didn't know that his parents had quietly remarried.
"Great journalist!"
Feng Xiangao told Sawamura the news, and Sawamura gave a thumbs up to the reporter. Sometimes you have to admire the energy of the paparazzi, as if there is nothing they don't know.
The reporters who know Sawamura and Fengxiang well know more about the news points on the two than they do.
In this case, the sudden appearance of the mountain pass is naturally much more attractive than that of Sawamura and Fengxiang.
It's just that the questions they asked were heartbroken for Yamaguchi.
"I~"
I've been here for a long time, and Yamaguchi doesn't know how to say it.
At this time, Sawamura naturally couldn't look at his brother embarrassed.
"You can't crowd people like this, we fat tigers are going to be angry."
Hearing Sawamura's words, these reporters couldn't help but laugh along.
A few days ago, because of the interview and live broadcast, Sawamura was also familiar with the reporter, and he was very comfortable with it.
These reporters have to marvel that Sawamura has the talent to become a star! If nothing else, his ability to deal with reporters is like a teenager, like an old bird who has been on the professional baseball field for many years.
In fact, these journalists guessed right!
"People ask questions about the game."
"How do you feel about defeating the Hokkaido giant, Kukomaki?"
"What are your goals for this contest?"
"What do you think of your opponent in your next game, Big Bird Middle School?"
The interview is back on track, and everyone's attention is back on Sawamura.
"Kukomaki is very tenacious, and their players don't back down no matter how bad the game situation is. Although we won, their tenacious personalities still make me remember them vividly. ”
"Win the next one!"
"Big birds are also strong and we have to give it our all......"
The polite words of the interview were not difficult for Sawamura.
If it is a professional baseball stadium, in order to attract more attention, the players may also make harsh words and make a little gunpowder smell. That means, I'll kill you when I get on the field, and if I can't kill you, I'll cripple you.
When you actually play, of course, it's still about how and how you go.
Whether the play is performed for the audience, the competition or the competition, these are two different things.
But this kind of acting is definitely not suitable for middle school competitions. Students, if they want to be pure and educated, how can they shout and kill at every turn?
At this time, the interview should be hello, hello, hello, everyone. Even on the court, holding back to kill the other party, and sneering at the other party in private. On the surface, I want you to be good to me.
What kind of words to say on what occasion is also something that a baseball star must learn.
A public figure, if not paying attention to his words and deeds. That's not only irresponsible to people who like to support you, but also irresponsible to yourself.
For these, Sawamura, who has played for more than ten years in his previous life, is naturally familiar with it.
Three days later, Akagi welcomed his opponent in the second round of the national competition, Otori Middle School.
In this game, Big Bird Middle School relied on the tenacious defense of his team and was very entangled with Akagi.
Until the fifth game, the score of the two sides was still 0:0!
Akagi Middle School had several hits, but none of them were able to score.
In terms of garrison, it is the same as always. Led by Sawamura's strong pitching prowess, not to mention the score, he didn't drop a single hit.
The situation remained deadlocked until the sixth inning.
Oda finally scored a hit, and Yamaguchi sent Oda to second base.
Then Feng Xiang won a well-timed hit.
The score is 1:0!
One out, there is someone on second base, and it is Sawamura's turn to strike.
Sawamura once again took out his 100 percent hitting stance and swept the ball to the center of the midfielder and left fielder, sending Feng Xiang back to home plate.
The aggregate score became 2:0.
It was also the final score of Akagi Junior High School's second game.
7:0, victory over Kukomaki.
2:0, defeated Big Bird Middle School.
In this way, Akagi Middle School triumphed all the way and reached the national quarterfinals.
But in the same way, because of many battles with masters, Akagi's core flaws have also been exposed.
That is, the strength of the line is insufficient!
In fact, among the 32 teams in the country, Akagi's line is not strong, but it is definitely not weak.
With Sawa Village and Hosho as the core, Oda and Yamaguchi and Hirota of Daida are the core.
Akagi's line is in the middle of the country, how can it be ranked in the middle and upper. Especially in the village of Sibangzawa, the blow is rarely missed, which is rare in middle school.
But this kind of line strength, compared with Akagi's garrison, is a bit out of tune.
The garrison of Akagi is recognized as the top three in the country, and some people even directly believe that Akagi is the best garrison team in the country.
Don't talk about other miscellaneous fish teams, just talk about opponents with enough weight.
Zero seal giant Yokozuna, zero seal Haoqiang Tianlong Temple. Ku Xiaomu and Big Bird Middle School, who are not weak, didn't even hit a single hit.
Let's ask such a garrison, who can stop it in the whole country?
