On Sunday, June 25th, the weather was fine.

Nagano is a highland region that, although it hasn't yet entered the hottest time of the year, the temperature in Nagano Prefecture is not low. Especially in windless weather, the sun is scorching, which makes people even more impatient.

Akagi area, a public baseball stadium.

It is said to be a public court, but in fact, it is the stands of the first and third bases, plus the net made of ordinary ropes. This stadium, even compared with the stadium that has just been built after the Akagi High School baseball team won the sponsorship, does not have many advantages.

In addition to the stands, in terms of infrastructure, this stadium is not as good as the stadium that Akagi has just built.

Today, it is the first game of Akagi Junior High School, a rising star in Nagano Prefecture. At the beginning of the game, as the organizers, they were very worried, they were worried that this small broken stadium would not be able to accept the Akagi game at all.

In the past two years, the atmosphere of baseball has been very high throughout Nagano Prefecture. The middle school has Tianlong Temple, which has just won the national runner-up. There are Higashiyama High School and Nishiharamachi High School, both of which have good grades. He entered Koshien in summer and spring, and achieved a good ranking.

Compared to them, Akagi doesn't really seem like a big deal.

After all, Akagi has not made it to the whole country until now, and he has not even participated in the Kanto Conference. Such a ranking, compared with the two high schools in Tianlong Temple, is not worth mentioning at all.

It's strange that Akagi Junior High School, which looks like it's good-for-nothing, has the largest number of fans in the whole of Nagano Prefecture.

Not to mention the students in their own schools, let's just talk about the hardcore fan group of Akagi Middle School 'Red Heart Brotherhood'. Today, it is the largest school fan club in Nagano and Kanto.

There are more than 1,600 core members in the whole group!

The head of the regiment, Da Lin and the deputy head of the group, Xiao Lin, and even organized people to prepare for an expedition to Kanto and even the whole country with the team, and the number of people who signed up for it was as high as five or six hundred! ０

Not to mention Tenryuji Temple in junior high school, even Nishiharamachi and Higashiyama, where you can participate in Koshien, do not have such a large scale of die-hard fans.

Today, Akagi has become a phenomenon in Nagano Prefecture.

On the day of the competition, the 'Red Heart Brotherhood' came with thousands of core members, eight or nine hundred non-members, plus a student team of more than 100 people from Chicheng Middle School. The entire stadium was filled with 2,000 people.

Not only did they occupy the first base stand on the Akagi side, but they also occupied the third base stand by the way.

The total number of students and parents from Nagata Middle School who came to cheer for the team was less than 100. was surrounded by more than 2,000 people, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

The god can manifest and tell them.

It's comparable to the formation of a professional fan club, what is going on?

Although Akagi Junior High School has the intention to release water on Nagata, their fans and supporters don't know about it. So many people cheered themselves for the tsunami. Akagi's friends, one by one, are naturally as excited as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.

But their opponents can't stand it, Nagata's students have never broken through the first round, where have they seen this kind of formation?

Being stared at by more than 2,000 people, they don't even know how to walk, let alone compete.

"In this way, I'm afraid I can't even train the soldiers, right?"

Looking at the Nagata player, he looked trembling. Feng Xiang frowned and said.

"What's the matter, just let them go and fight well. If Nagata himself is really not angry, we can't blame it. ”

Sawamura doesn't care, changing a game that should be bloody to a training game, isn't Sawamura holding back the fire in his heart? But when he has a good relationship with Nagata, he can't do the thing of beating the water dog.

But if Nagata himself is not angry, then it is no wonder that Akagi is ruthless.

Akagi can deliberately preserve his strength, and he can use Nagata to train his troops. The difference in strength between the two sides is so big, considering the future game, it is understandable for Akagi to do this.

But Akagi must not blatantly release water.

These fans who came to support Akagi are not blind. If Akagi disappoints them in terms of attitude, it is equivalent to self-destruction.

Fortunately, what Sawamura feared did not happen.

Although the pressure from the crowd left Nagata's fighters a little confused, the opponent was still familiar to them.

Speaking of which, it's also funny. Nagata actually found spiritual sustenance from his opponent.

Sawamura and Fengxiang did not play, and the others played against Nagata. Even if the core of the casting is missing, the players who have been trained by Sawamura in Akagi and the friends who graduated from the young stick are also above Nagata.

From the very beginning of the game, they took the absolute initiative.

Oda, who came out on top, scored a hit.

Immediately after, Ken Yamaguchi sent him back to home plate, and then Akagi took advantage of the steady use to send Yamaguchi back to home plate as well.

In the first game, Akagi Middle School led by two points.

When guarding, although Komaki was far from being as strong as Sawamura, he also played well.

The fastest ball speed is 115, and you can accurately control the ball into the ball belt. Komaki's foundation is very solid.

With the pitcher as the core, the playmaking practice of the buddies also played a vital role.

In five games, they didn't let Nagata score a point. Even the hits were pitiful, and Komaki only lost two hits in total.

Offensively, there were two points in the first game, three points in the second, no points in the third, five points in the fourth, and two points in the fifth.

The aggregate score is 12:0!

Sawamura originally thought that it would be good to win the opponent by five points, but he didn't expect the gap between the two sides to be so big. Nagata Junior High School and Akagi are not comparable at all.

Akagi, who was originally relatively weak in hitting, has the help of a pitching machine, and the blow has become like a fish in water.

"It's really lucky that such a Nagata can win the first round!"

With such a big gap in strength, Sawamura's lineup arrangement is conservative after all. And the little friends around him are no longer what they used to be, not what they were a year ago.

The game ended early in five games, and Akagi Junior High School successfully advanced to the round of 16 in Nagano Prefecture.

Their opponent in the top 16 is Beixin Middle School, which is not weak.

Facing Beixin, Akagi adopted an almost identical lineup as in the first game.

With Komaki as the core, after seven rounds of bloody battles, the score of the two sides was finally fixed at 5:3.

Akagi Middle School, with a two-point advantage, narrowly defeated the opponent.

The victory of this game is too important for Akagi's friends.

The strength of Beixin Middle School is not weak at all. Simply talking about fame, the fame of Beixin Middle School is above Shi Lun. Such a strong team, Akagi still defeated them while retaining the big killer of Sawamura.

The friends suddenly woke up, it turned out that we were already so strong!

The current Akagi is really strong, and it is no longer Sawamura's one-man team.

The friends have confidence, and they also have the confidence to fight with the three kings. In the next game, their opponent is one of the three kings, the giant Dabei Middle School!
