"Let's say a team has twenty players." Belia calculated, "It will cost 70,000 yen per person per month. ”

"High school baseball has a summer Koshien season that runs from April to July."

"Four, five, six, seven, the basic cost of four months is ......" Belia quickly mentally calculated, "twenty times seventy thousand and multiplied by four equals ......"

"Five million and six thousand yen." Belia made a note, "This is the estimated minimum base cost. ”

"If you add in the cost of going out to practice, renting a venue, and eating and lodging."

"Even if you stay in school and don't go anywhere, it's like you're doing closed training, and the team will definitely need to buy new training equipment."

"Hmmm! There is also money for the wear and tear of training equipment and the need for renewal. ”

"By the way, we also need other coaches and support teams, such as guard coaches, batting coaches, baserun coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, physical therapists, team doctors."

"If these people need to spend money, it's a huge expense."

Wait a minute! Belia stopped her thoughts and went over her notes again. What am I doing here? This configuration is almost like a template for a professional team!

Wait a minute! Pro Team! Why can't high school baseball have a professional team? Why?

Uh-huh! The biggest problem is nothing more than that the money invested is not produced, and in the final analysis, there is no income.

Belia put the notebook directly on the table, got up from the sofa, raised her hands and stretched. Naturally, she didn't know how attractive her series of actions were.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Belia looked at the city at night through the window, and the lights were dotted with stars. Belea's thoughts were like this boundless sea of stars, as if they had spread from the earth to the sky. Belia reached out to the window, as if to catch the stars in the sky, but she felt the cool glass. At the same time, Belia also saw a projection of herself in the window, with long hair over her shoulders and starry eyes.

"Why should I be bound by other people's opinions?"

"Why can't a high school baseball team combine the success of professional baseball?"

"Problems that can be solved with money are small problems!"

The figure on the floor-to-ceiling window finally nodded firmly.

Tatsuya's performance and the team's affirmation and reward for his growth in a season also prove the vision of the scout team - the team does not take money in vain and do nothing.

Having said so much, everyone should have seen that money, strength, performance, money, strength, performance, money, form a cycle...... This is the rule of the world of professional baseball. To put it mildly, the rule is "one size fits all".

In the rookie year, the rookie year, you can get a raise instead of a cut, which is not something that everyone who enters the professional baseball circle can do. Inexplicably, I thought of my rookie year Isamu Nishiki...... At the end of the season, my pay stub was ......

Ahem, let's get down to business.

Unfortunately, once a player is regarded as a local player and is expected to be a local hero, there are also side effects, for example, in today's night game, Tatsu did not make the starting start, which is the choice made by the team in the face of a strong rival, which has its own reason.

Our Saitama Seibu Little White Lion's opponent tonight is the Yomiuri Tokyo Little Giants, or Giants for short. According to the analysis of the media, the main reason for the decline in the performance of the Giant Army in previous years is that it has encountered the replacement of the old and the new, and this year is likely to be the first year of the return of the king of the Giant Army.

In the 80s and 90s of the last century, our lion army was a fierce rival of the giant army, and now, I can only say one word...... The hero does not mention the courage of the year.

Now, although there is indeed a gap between our lion ball team and the Giant Army in terms of strength, the game against the Giant Army, to use the classic quotations of the Chinese, is the so-called "game that does not require mobilization within the team". From the fans to the top management of the club, they don't want the team to show the slightest weakness in front of their old enemies - it's not impossible to lose, but the momentum and the battle must not be lost.

But after all, there is a gap in strength between the two teams, and the outcome is unpredictable (more losses and fewer wins), in case the morale of ACE in the future is frustrated, then stealing chickens will not be lost. Therefore, at such times, supervisors often still have to trust the veteran comrades, and whether they win or lose, at least the veteran comrades have the experience to deal with them.

The topic of chatting while eating and chatting about the three of us in Tokyo unconsciously began to revolve around the "old comrades" who were on the board today.

Hikokazu Ando: "Today's starter is Yongi. ”

In Shimonishi Musamu: "Although it's not the much-anticipated Tatsuya, but it's a fight to send Yongjing, and the overseer is also a fight." ”

The old boy is a rookie: "Yongjing is stable, but it lacks stamina." ”

"Yongjing is not young, so don't worry too much about the first six or seven games, I'm afraid that he won't be able to finish the last two or three games." Bo full of mending knives.

In Shimosaigi Yong took precautions: "So, I also have to be ready to play in the cowshed." ”

Ando: "Well, anyway, as a relay, if you come off the bench, you will either clean up the mess or the situation will be good." ”

Boman habitually complained: "Why didn't Ando think about the scene of Nishiki-kun sending charcoal to the team?" It's so unimaginative. ”

In Shimosai Muyong, he wanted to help Ando round the field: "Haha, as a pitcher, I still have self-knowledge, and it is a little more difficult for me to send charcoal in the snow, but I am afraid that if I become a salary, I will fight the fire...... Then the overseer stopped believing in me. ”

Ando is afraid that the world will not be chaotic: "Then go up and put a big fire!" ”

Boman added fuel to the fire: "Uh-huh, a fire, burn the overseer to death (meaning the overseer out of class)......"

In Shimonishi Isamu Isa: "When the fire is over, the season is over, and then the salary assessment for the next year, at that time, the boss will flip through the small book, and I will not be able to cry." ”

This self-ridicule made the two old boys who were quick to speak in vain couldn't help laughing.

Our Tokyo trio teased each other while eating, and gradually began to talk about the topic.

Ando: "Nishiki is a left-handed thrower, and Yongi is a right-handed thrower, so it is estimated that Nishiki-kun will have a great chance of playing as a relay." ”

Boman: "Well, I guess the Giant Army will also take this into account in advance. ”

Nishiki: "Then after I board the board, the Giants will fight on behalf of the tactics?" ”

Hakuman's whim: "In case the Hara Tatsutoku overseer (Yomiuri Little Giant Overseer) makes a ...... What about the substitution of the fight? ”

Ximu was surprised: "Huh? I haven't really thought about how to deal with this tactic......"

Boman: "Well, now we have to think about it. ”

Nishiki, who was as good as a stream, nodded heavily: "Mm-hmm." ”

Ando: "Anyway, after you get on the court, Nishiki-kun, you have to throw at least one ball." ”

Boman: "Yes! One goal wins! Let's start with at least one shot and be prepared. ”

"Uh, the goal is to shoot a ball,......" said Yushin Nishiki: and this kind of operation?!

Eight o'clock in the evening, Tokyo Dome Stadium.

We, Saitama Seibu Little White Lions, away challenge, Tokyo Yomiuri Little Giants.

Matches against old rivals, and in prime time, are naturally the time when fans like to see their teams win. Especially if this opponent is still a neighbor, and it is also the kind of neighbor who "as long as you live better than me, I can't stand it......

Needless to say, the home team fans cheer for their team and increase positive energy, and some radical fans are also happy to add negative energy to the opponent, and do not care what means to take, such as ...... Vituperate. Of course, it was not from the beginning of the game to the end of the game, but very skillfully when the home team attacked and the away team defended. Activists mingled in the spectator seats behind the visitors' lounge, the third-base side. These people chose the gap before the pitcher pitched the ball, seized the opportunity, and used all their might to provoke and humiliate the away players on the field.

I have to say that these people make it very difficult for the prison staff. Because although it is said to be abuse, it is not named, although the words are very vulgar, but they are all folk slang, and they are not direct foul language. Moreover, these people also have a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and they change places with one shot, plus other fans also help them hide their identities, which makes it more difficult for the supervisors to maintain the stadium.

These people generally say something like this:

"Player X, you kid went to the hotel in Roppongi last night to hit a hit, right? It's just a fight with the ladies, right? Turned into a soft-footed shrimp today? Hahaha, it really didn't work! ”

"Player Y, why didn't you get a ball right tonight? Didn't you win a lot of money last night at that pachinko shop? So you're only going to be great in a pachinko shop, huh? Pick it up, hold it on, it's the title of the little prince of pachinko you dropped in the store yesterday......"

"Player Z, did you forget to eat the blue balls? How do you throw a ball on your stomach? Would you like to help you find a sponsor to sponsor you with some Mori Blue Pills? ”

Therefore, in addition to the civilized behavior of watching the game such as cheering songs, cheering songs, cheering, live bands, etc., there are also "dark supports" that attack opponents.

The night game is an excellent stage for "dark support".
