Chapter 89: On the Importance of Interviews (Tribute to Little Pickup)

Without saying a word all the way, the players from Qingdao High School returned to the dormitory one after another.

Take a bath, eat~

When these trivial things were over, Superintendent Kataoka told everyone very plainly that he was going to be interviewed in the evening.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

As early as when they first entered Koshien, the players of Seido High School experienced a media madness.

Now that I am facing it again, my heart is even more mixed.

What to say? What to do? Not to mention the first- and second-year players, even these seniors in the third grade are very nervous.

Of course.

It's not without people who are calm, long before entering Koshien, Seido High School had a lot of star players.

For example, Chris, who was the first catcher in Kanto, and Ichiya Miyuki, the savior of Seido High School who was highly anticipated when he first entered high school.

These players, who have been famous since they were teenagers, are obviously a little more calm than others.

The most calm of these is to say that the great demon king Sawamura Rongjun!

Although there is still a big gap between the soft ball league and Koshien. Because of his experience in his previous life, Danzawa has long been completely immune to various interviews.

Looking at the calm and comfortable Sawamura, the partners around him are also envious and 'jealous'.

is worthy of being a star player who won the first person in the country when he was in middle school. The experience of leading the team to dominate the country twice has become Sawamura's most valuable asset.

People who have such an experience can face the interview calmly, and these partners at Qingdao High School can understand it.

The others, even the captain Yusei and Ryosuke Kominato, are not particularly calm.

This can be seen in their strange performance.

Yusei has been pulling Miyuki to play chess!

Don't look at the knot has grown into an invincible face in the world, but if you want to talk about playing chess, he really can't do it.

If I had to find a word to describe it, it would be a standard stinky chess basket.

Sawamura was beaten by his grandfather a few times when he was a child, and his level is limited compared to that of beginners.

But at this level, when playing chess with the captain, you also win more and lose less.

It is really torture to let the calculating Miyuki play chess with such a captain.

Ryosuke Kominato chatted with his younger brother, and it could be seen that the two brothers were communicating very happily, at least Ryosuke Kominato, who was an older brother, felt very happy.

The reactions of these two men seemed relatively normal, but their small actions betrayed them.

Even if it's them, they are a little nervous about the upcoming interview.

"Is it necessary?"

Kuramochi didn't understand this. Although in the face of the interview, he was also very excited. But after the excitement, it's not just about what to do.

Besides, this is not the first time that Seido High School has been interviewed like this.

When I won the Kwantung Congress before, the media did not interview me.

As the saying goes, once born and twice cooked, since you have already had an experience, how can you be nervous like this the second time?

"Of course it is necessary!"

Seeing that Kuramochi still looked like a hanger, Sawamura, as a friend, had to teach him a lesson.

"What is necessary?"

Kuramochi asked.

At the same time, Superintendent Kataoka was in the dormitory.

Superintendent Kataoka sat alone on the sofa in the reception room, with Rei Takashima and Coach Ochiai standing across from him.

"Overseer?"

Takashima was about to say something.

Ochiai touched his mustache and said strangely at Kataoka.

"The interview is going to be done in the evening, don't you have to ask the contestants to write their manuscripts in advance? For those in their third year, this could well be a stepping stone to college and even a career, and if it can impress the audience, it will ...... their future."

Superintendent Kataoka was noncommittal.

The camera pans back to the dorm hall.

Sawamura groaned and asked, "How do you think the audience knows about the contestants?" ”

"By competition, of course!"

Kuramochi said as a matter of course.

Sawamura nodded: "That's not bad. ”

Well?

Kuramochi looked at Sawamura suspiciously, listening to what he meant, is there anything else?

"A baseball player must have a solid foundation if he wants to make a name for himself. There are two aspects to this, one is their own stats, and the other is the results of their team. To put it bluntly, it's the performance on the pitch. A baseball star, especially a star in professional baseball, is based on his outstanding on-court performance. ”

"But it's not enough for a baseball star to have a foundation. There are players with solid strength on the baseball field and average reputation. Any idea why this is? ”

Kuramochi might have thought about such a question, and as expected, he shook his head again.

"It's propaganda!"

Sawamura said with emotion.

In the past, Broad & Bright Village suffered more or less in this regard.

"A baseball player, if he wants to be remembered, in addition to fighting on the court, he must also have a non-obnoxious image off the court."

Before Sawamura finished speaking, Kuramochi Yoichi's face changed.

"Why do you have to disguise yourself?"

Sawamura's statement made Kuramochi shudder. Originally, he was still thinking of going directly to professional baseball, but at this time he not only hesitated.

"How is that possible?"

Kuramochi's statement startled Sawamura as well. The guy's brain turned too fast, and Sawamura couldn't adapt to it.

"Compared with entertainment stars, sports stars are not so exposed, as long as they don't engage in scandals, they are generally not in the way. Of course, even if you act in front of the media, you can't act for a lifetime. Our own character cannot be hidden, and what we have to do is to show our own characteristics, so that the audience can understand us more, more accurately, and in more detail. Of course, in this process, we must guide appropriately. ”

Kuramochi was stunned by Sawamura.

"We've just reached the fourth round of Koshien, so isn't it too early to think about that?"

In Kuramochi's opinion, these things that Sawamura Esumi said can be said after Qingdao High School plays Koshien game.

You know, Qingdao High School's dream is to dominate the country. If you are involved in these things now, it is likely that the bamboo basket will be empty in the end.

"You're right!"

Sawamura smiled wryly.

Thinking about it from the standpoint of Qingdao High School, the players should certainly not think so much at this time. Everyone should work together to win the championship first, and it's not too late to think about these things after winning the championship.

"But none of us lives in a vacuum. After Koshien is over, even if we win the championship, the topic will be greatly reduced. If you can't get more people familiar with yourself and make a name for yourself in the course of the competition, it will be too late when Koshien is over! ”

Sawamura said.

"That ......"

Cang said something, but in the end he didn't say a word.

"For those of us in the first and second grades, it really didn't have much impact. But for third-year seniors, it's different! If they don't take advantage of this time to get enough capital, how can they have a bright future when they are still unknown after Koshien? The superintendent probably also took this into account and reluctantly agreed to the exclusive interview at the press conference. ”
