Chapter 112: On the sidelines
A man of his thirties in a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses arrived on the pitch after the game began. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
This person's name is Ishimura, and he is the manager of the baseball club of the Peace School Park, Minami Asakura.
If you put it this way, it does read a bit awkwardly.
Therefore, it is more correct to say that he is a member of the major craft office "Kajiwara Production". He is currently serving as the manager of his artist Minami Asakura.
Ishimura bought a ticket, entered through Gate 6, and went directly to the second-floor stands. He has only one job today. After the game, he was in charge of sending Asakura to the next place of work.
Before that, he decided to pass the time in the stadium.
The second-story grandstand behind the home plate at Jingu Field is the only part of the field covered by a canopy. Here you can be protected from the sun and rain.
It's not the fans' Ishimura who chose this relatively comfortable area with few spectators because of this. But after less than ten minutes of sitting, he felt impatient.
Watching a baseball game live, if you sit far away, it is definitely not as clear as watching the game in front of the TV.
Ishimura left his seat and went to the hallway below the stands and bought a can of coffee from the vending machine. Only then did he notice that a television was hanging on the roof of the hallway, showing images from the field.
A few spectators who weren't sitting in the stands for unknown reasons gathered here and looked up to watch the game.
"This TV is live, right?"
Ishimura accosted a middle-aged man in a red T-shirt with a nice face.
"It's exactly the same as what was broadcast on TV. It's just that there's no delay. ”
The match was broadcast by the local independent television station "Metropolitan Broadcasting".
Although it is an independent television station that is not affiliated with several major television networks. However, because the signal coverage is in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the influence is still very amazing. In Japan, a quarter of TV viewers were able to watch the game.
Minami Asakura took a fancy to this and said that she would sit in the team's rest area during the game. For this reason, he did not hesitate to turn down a job of taking pictures for magazines.
Ishimura stood still and watched the game for a few minutes, then asked another question to the middle-aged man next to him.
"Why didn't this camera shoot the rest area of the Peace Academy?"
"Because their players are on the field."
Now the game is in the second half of the first game, Fuso's third attack.
In between pitchers pitching, the camera keeps switching to the rest area of Fuso's third off the field, aiming at the expressions of the supervisor and the players.
On the side of the Peace Academy, nine of the twelve players on the team are on the field. Nature photographers are not interested in turning their lenses away.
The fifth stick hit a high fly ball over the catcher's head.
Lee stood on home plate and tucked the ball into his glove. This half-game offense ends here.,Although the Peace School once encountered a crisis,But the score is still 0-0.。
The TV camera finally switched to the team members who ran back to the rest area.
But Minami Asakura was blocked tightly by the back of this Li Yuanrang, and he couldn't see it at all.
"It's so damnning, it's completely obscured."
Hearing Ishimura's words, the middle-aged man in the red T-shirt made way for a gap.
"Ah, I'm sorry I didn't mean you, I said it on TV."
Ishimura originally planned to post a few posts on the Internet after the end of this game, pretending to be an ordinary netizen, saying that he had found a super beautiful team manager in the semi-finals of the West Tokyo Conference. Make some hype.
But if there is no picture in the video of the game, the plan will be frustrated.
While Ishimura was worried, the middle-aged man in a red T-shirt looked away from the TV.
A male high school student who hurriedly entered through the entrance caught his attention.
Just as the boy walked by, the middle-aged man stopped him.
"Southerners."
"Ah, Mr. Yoshikawa, you're there too."
"You're going to the first base. Let's go together. ”
Nanbu Yoichi walked to the first base side stand with a middle-aged man named Yoshikawa. The rear seats for the general audience are almost full.
Just as the two of them didn't know where to sit, a voice came from a few rows in front of the stands.
"Southern seniors, this way! This way! ”
Suzuki Aki, who can only watch the game from the stands today, was the manager of the baseball club when he was in junior high school, and naturally he also knows Yoichi Nanbu from the middle school of Peace Academy.
There were still a few empty seats left for the support seats left for the Peace School stakeholders, and Suzuki beckoned Minami to sit down there.
"Is it really okay for us to sit here?"
"Anyway, you're also from Peace School Middle School."
After saying this, Suzuki shifted his gaze to the middle-aged man next to him. And the South has also taken notice.
"This is a ...... from Hiroshima"
"The surname is Yoshikawa."
Before Nanbu could introduce the profession, Yoshikawa interrupted him.
"Then, it's going to be an attack on our side soon, I'll go to the front first......"
Suzuki bowed slightly, then turned and ran to the front of the stands to join the support team.
"Let's talk about it first, I won't hand in the baton volunteer form."
After Suzuki walked away, Nanbu Yoichi opened his mouth first.
"Of course I know that, but if you change your mind and want to go to the draft, we're willing to draft you in the fourth round. The signing fee and annual salary will also be the figures that should be in the fourth round. ”
"But if you go to university, you can go to the baseball club of a major company and become a full-time member. In a few years, the annual salary will be about the same as that of the Hiroshima team, and you will be able to stay until retirement. ”
On the two characters of Hiroshima, the southern part is accented.
Although this is a bit of a disrespect, there are real problems to be faced in the south. Among the 12 teams of Japanese professional baseball, the Hiroshima team is the most angry in terms of player salaries.
The scouting department in Hiroshima is also self-aware of this. They will avoid the favorites in the draft and focus on players who have been overlooked by other teams.
For example, Yoichi Minami, who ended in the quarterfinals at the West Tokyo Games, is a typical target that Hiroshima teams would be interested in.
The south have already shown their strength in previous matches. But if the final result of the quarterfinals in Nishitokyo was any other team, scouts would not even be embarrassed to make proposals at the formation meeting.
In this case, the Hiroshima team's scouts will be dispatched to pick up the leaks.
But it's different from other players of this type. Although Nanbu Yoichi wants to eat baseball. But he still has a way out.
"As far as I know, if you want to enter a famous baseball university with a special enrollment quota, you must also have a top four identity to be more sure."
Yoshikawa listed the criteria for special recruitment of several prestigious schools. According to him, the university had no actual performance in the first two years, and it was indeed difficult for the southern part of the country, which stopped in the top eight in the last year, to grab a limited number of special recruitment places.
"But Mr. Yoshikawa has a question that you may have overlooked. Have you seen my transcripts. ”
Nanfang Yoichi is now studying in a public school. He didn't waste his studies at all.
With his current grades, it is not difficult for him to directly take the general entrance examination of the participating schools such as the Tokyo Six University Alliance or the Toto Metropolitan Alliance.
On the field, Tokuda, the sixth baton of the Peace Academy, failed to hit the opponent's speedball. Strikeouts out. Offensive and defensive exchanges.
"Instead of wasting time on me, let's watch this game together. There are a lot of good materials that you can take a good look at. ”
Nanbu continued.
