Lee's excitement only came the day after the match. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he still has the fatigue of continuous combat. But just after six o'clock, I couldn't sleep again.

There are still bruises on my hands, but it's okay to run. Jogging all the way from the apartment to the school court.

Lee Wonrang, who originally wanted to run in a circle around the court, spotted his teammate Akio Yabe, who was swinging his bat in the air.

"What, can't you sleep? I thought you'd sleep until the afternoon. ”

Seeing Li Yuanrang's arrival, Yabe said.

In the past, during holidays, there would be people in the baseball club of the Peace School Park who would start training independently in the morning, as long as it was not mandatory to participate, Li Yuanrang never appeared on the court in the morning.

Not to mention early in the morning.

"I can't do swinging and passing, but I can practice my fitness."

Last night, Li Yuanrang was on Takeda's phone. The advice given to him by the other party was simple.

After entering Koshien, the goal is, of course, "national hegemony".

Of course, the whole country here refers to Japan.

The Koshien Games, named after the venue of the competition, are actually national conventions in the field of college baseball.

The full name of the summer convention is called the "National High School Baseball Tournament." ”

The teams that can play in this competition are the winners of the regional qualifiers.

The goal after the "hegemony" of the region. A national winner, of course.

"We're going to leave in three days. If you are physical, it's too late to practice now. However, it is good to run laps a little, and the amount of exercise is reduced all of a sudden, which is not good for maintaining the state. ”

"Three days? Isn't it almost ten days before the opening game takes place? ”

"Most of the teams will arrive in the Kansai region by August. Between No. 1 and No. 4, there will be an opportunity to train in Koshien. You don't want to miss the opportunity to train in Koshien, do you? ”

"I really don't want to, but I guess my hand hasn't recovered at that time."

"It's okay to go to Koshien and walk twice. I don't know if there will be a next time for my training in Koshien throughout my college career. ”

Yabe's words took Li Yuanrang by surprise.

Although the fact that his team entered Koshien, Li Yuanrang also felt that he lacked a sense of reality. But because I'm in the first grade. There will be many opportunities to challenge Koshien in the future, but Yabe now says that he doesn't know if there will be a next one.

And a few minutes ago, Li Yuanrang was still thinking about national hegemony.

"In the future, there must be a chance to go, we are not only in the first grade."

"This year's luck is so good, the real strong team only met Fuso third, and the others are either not worthy of the name or are eliminated early. There may not be such an opportunity in the future. Besides, in the fall, the baseball club doesn't know what will happen......"

"Autumn?"

"You happened to be outside when the headmaster said these words yesterday. He said that he would not wait until next year's freshmen to enroll, and that he would hire a famous marshal to serve as the new overseer in the fall. ”

"If you are a famous coach, shouldn't you make the team stronger?"

"The famous handsome in the eyes of the school principal is not a professional level."

Although it may not be true that all of them are not worthy of the name. However, in the field of college baseball, many senior supervisors do not actually rely on professional knowledge and scientific training methods to obtain the title of coach.

Old-school oversight, with iron-fisted management as the main means, is not uncommon.

Whether these practices are effective or not does not matter. At least Akio Yabe himself is very disgusted by this style. He was afraid that in the autumn the principal would bring in such an overseer.

"You haven't thought of any new goals compared to this?"

"For example?"

"For example, national hegemony."

Listening to Li Yuanrang's statement, Yabe laughed.

"Who told you about national dominance?"

"Kai's Takeda."

"That guy, he can't dominate the country himself. They just don't have an opponent in Yamanashi Prefecture, where the team is scarce. ”

"What about us?"

"Unless it's so good luck to qualify with Nishitokyo all the way. Otherwise, let's wait until next year. ”

"You're not worried about an unreliable overseer."

Li Yuanrang still remembers that just a few words ago, Yabe was still pessimistic about the matter of the new overseer.

"Well, I just said maybe. In case of luck. ”

As for luck, Yabe still doesn't trust it very much.

Although not as superstitious as Fukushima Isseipei. However, Yabe is also a believer in the law of conservation of luck.

In Yabe's opinion, the summer so far, the luck of the Peace School has been really good. However, it is likely that this is due to the good fortune of overdrawing in the future.

When the time comes, let alone the question of the new overseer. Even if it is a Koshien match, there is no guarantee that you will be blessed by luck.

"It's better to set a realistic goal, Koshien."

Yabe continued.

"Win a game?"

"It's not."

"So, at least one point?"

"It's not."

"Can you only count on a hit?"

"No, don't be so pessimistic. If you want to hit a hit, if you want to score, if you want to win, you just need to draw a weaker opponent. ”

"Weak? In Koshien? ”

Lee seems to have a misunderstanding about the difficulty of the Koshien race. He felt that since it was a national competition, every team must be outstanding.

But that's not the case.

Baseball is developed at different levels in different regions. East and West Tokyo is, of course, a first-class theater of operations. There are also places like Osaka, Kanagawa or Aichi Prefecture, which are more competitive.

However, some prefectures and counties themselves are weak in baseball. If you happen to kill another dark horse. It is even more regarded as the belly of fish in Koshien.

But then again. For representatives of most other regions. Although it was the winner of Nishitokyo, this year's Peace School may be the fish belly unit that everyone wants to draw.

……

The baseball club's departure for Kansai was scheduled for the last Saturday of July.

"It's a pity, I thought I would be able to watch the fireworks show before setting off."

As soon as you get on the Shinkansen bound for Osaka. The team's manager, Asakura, began to complain about the schedule.

On the evening of the same day, the annual Sumida River fireworks festival is held.

"You don't have to come with me so early, just come back when the game starts."

Ichihei Fukushima knew exactly what Asakura was looking forward to.

Although "the female manager of the baseball club" was only a title she used to enrich her character at first.

But after the Nishitokyo qualifier wins. Asakura is a person who is more excited than anyone else.

Koshien in August is a place that attracts the attention of the media.

This is an exposure opportunity that money can't buy.

"Isn't there a practice time for Koshien the day after tomorrow! There should be a lot of reporters coming to shoot it! ”

adjusted his schedule, quit a few irrelevant jobs, and went to Minami Asakura, Kansai with the team in advance, calculating the Koshien practice time between the first and fourth days.

"Well, female managers are forbidden to participate."

"Huh!?" (To be continued.) )
