Chapter 109: The Opponent of the Next Battle

The just-concluded competition between the Peace School and Zhide Shang is the first semi-final in the Nishitokyo region. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The other three matches will also be decided today.

The teams participating in the noon and afternoon games are not in the same half as the School of Peace. You won't be able to meet it until the final.

The match that really decided the opponent of the semi-finals was the last one that took place at 4 p.m.

The two sides of the competition are Metropolitan Yono High School and Fuso University No. 3 University.

As a metropolitan high school, Yono is known to be a team with a certain strength. But no one expected them to reach the quarter-finals in the summer.

We can achieve the results we have achieved now. In part, it was because they did well in the previous spring meeting and won a place in a seed school.

But more importantly, the only third-year student on the team, pitcher Yoichi Minami, who is back to No. 11, appeared. It has put down a lot of points for the whole team.

The three, four, and five rounds of battles ahead. Yono has conceded only five points in three games.

And successively defeated the private powerhouse Hayata Gakuin and the university affiliated with the University of Law.

"But no matter how you say it, it's not easy to pass the third hurdle of Fuso."

Li Yuanrang took out a bottle of iced oolong tea from the refrigerator, lay on his side on the bed, and watched the live webcast of the game on his mobile phone.

He was familiar with one of the sides of the game, Yono High School. I have played against each other in practice matches before.

But the other side of Fuso the third, has only been known in the legend.

Nishitokyo's two famous families, Hayata Sho and Fuso No. 3, take turns winning the Summer Games almost every year.

In recent years, for example, the year before last, it was Fuso who entered Koshien in third, and last year it was Hayata.

This year, the two teams are also considered the strongest candidates for the winners, split between two different halves.

When Li Yuanrang opened the live broadcast screen, the game had just begun.

However, he noticed the score in the corner of the screen. Yono already has a one-point lead.

In this game, the pitcher who stood on the pitcher's mound in Fuso was the third on the pitcher's mound, and the number 15 was on his back. It doesn't look like it's sending out an ace in the team.

"If you use a bench pitcher to win this game, won't the next opponent be at ease."

Li Yuanrang jumped out of bed with this thought, turned on the computer, and began to query the opponent's information.

Back number fifteen, Kuwabara, second grade. He made two appearances this summer, making a total of four innings.

It's really not the other side's trump card.

However, Kuwabara did not lose points in these four games. The point that Yono has just scored is the first Kuwabara has conceded this summer.

Li Yuanrang took back his mobile phone and planned to watch the broadcast of the game. But then the caller rang.

The person who called was Akio Yabe.

"Hayata, you watched that game."

"No, I was catching up on sleep."

Because of the fatigue of getting up early to compete, Li Yuanrang returned home and took a shower and climbed directly into bed to sleep.

"Don't mess with your biological clock, the day after tomorrow is 10 a.m."

"I know, what's wrong with Hayata's game."

"In the second half of the ninth inning, Tama Gakuen Tama played a goodbye hit, and was eliminated."

"Huh?"

Li Yuan cheered up.

Hayata, who has long been considered the top favorite to win the tournament this summer, actually capsized in the gutter in the semi-finals.

"What kind of school is this Tama Gakuen Tama?"

"It's just a private university. I didn't have much fame before. ”

Even Akio Yabe didn't know much about this team, and it was really unknown before.

Similar to the situation of the Peace School, as a private school, the name seems a bit complicated Tama Gakuen Tama is in good condition in terms of hardware equipment. But the baseball club is not the school's signature club.

In recent years, in the enrollment process, only a group of baseball players from the middle school age have been recruited. The strength of the team has been strengthened.

Even so, it was surprising to be able to beat Hayata, the number one powerhouse in Nishitokyo.

"Also, Yono is leading the way."

Of course, Yabe's words Li Yuanrang knew what they meant. If Yono's side can also keep the score until the end. Then the Peace Academy can also avoid the third confrontation with the first-class Fuso in the semi-finals.

"In terms of probability, it's too difficult to have two upsets a day, right?"

In addition to the long-held belief in the law of conservation of luck, Kazuhei Fukushima has recently promoted his probability theory among his teammates.

"When eating at a restaurant, bringing your own cockroach can reduce the chance of eating cockroaches."

Probably such a strange statement.

Of course, Li Yuanrang and Yabe just listened to this. But if you listen too much, you will inevitably be affected unconsciously when you speak.

"If you're going to talk about upsets, there's enough today."

In fact, the result of the Peace Academy's victory over the German businessmen is already considered an unpopular in the eyes of many people.

Although the strength of the team is not balanced. But from the perspective of the general audience and the media, the German businessman with Ochiai Fukumitsu is the favorite to reach the semi-finals.

As for the School of Peace, don't say it's a semi-final. After the breakthrough of the three-round war, it has been considered a dark horse.

Most people think it's only a matter of time before the School of Peace loses.

Hanging up Yabe's phone, Li Yuanrang lost the interest in continuing to watch the broadcast of the game.

I opened my phone and started playing the game.

When I think about the results of the game, I am already close to sleeping.

The final score was 1 to 2. Yono didn't continue to work miracles. The Peace Academy still has to deal with Fuso third in the semi-finals.

Pitcher who used to be a pitcher from the middle school of the Peace School Park, Nanbu Yoichi finished throwing nine innings. Only two hits were made.

Sadly, it was a two-home run.

……

On the second day of the competition, the training at the Peace Academy was scheduled early in the morning.

In order to get the players used to the feeling of exercising during this time period.

The content of the exercises is not very intense, except for basic physical conditioning and adjustment exercises. Mainly simple passing and receiving and free strokes.

"If you're like a southern senior, where will you go next?"

Lee Wonrang, who used the T-bracket to correct the striking stance, asked the arrow next to him.

In fact, Li Yuanrang called Nanfang Yangyi a senior, which is not appropriate in the strict sense.

The south is from the middle school of the Peace Academy.,Most of the teammates who are also from the middle school of the school have always called them seniors.。 Li Yuanrang was just unknowingly infected by them.

"He said he was going to college, but if he really participated in the draft, there should be a team that will be selected. It's just the sixth or seventh round. ”

Unlike Lee Wonrang, Akio Yabe watched the broadcast of the game yesterday.

Although it stopped in the quarterfinals, the content of the pitch in the game in the south is believed to be visible to scouts of professional teams.

A pitcher like Nanfang, who has the speed of the ball and can shoot the ball, although he didn't do well in the summer conference, looks pretty good in the eyes of professional baseball scouts. If he himself expresses interest in entering professional baseball, I believe that some teams will be happy to name him in the draft.

"If you reach the quarterfinals, you have a chance to make professional baseball?"

Li Yuanrang listened to Yabe's answer, and the first thing that came to mind was this.

The School of Peace is now a team in the top four.
