Chapter 21: The Old and New War
The second- and third-year seniors of the Yakushi High School baseball team were extremely surprised when they saw Sanada Shunhei raise his hand.
They looked at Sanada incredulously.
The little ones in the first grade didn't really meet the senior high school of the city university on the field.
You could also say that they are ignorant and fearless.
Although Sanada Shunhei did not play in the game, he was deliberately hidden by the superintendent of the thunder and used as the hole card of the summer tournament.
But he watched the whole time in the rest area.
He has witnessed the strength of the city's third-year high baseball team, and he must know what kind of monsters those players of the city's third-year high baseball team are on the field?
After witnessing all this with his own eyes, he still has the confidence to defeat the third high school of the city university?
Crazy?
Facing the questioning gaze of the third-grade senior, Sanada Toshihei was not moved at all on his face.
He looked at Li Lei with great interest.
The first-year newcomer, under the orders of the superintendent of Thunder Zang, has not been training with the other players on the team.
Just doing basic exercises like running and passing and catching.
The seniors in the second and third grades don't know about this, so the first-grade juniors are also ignorant.
But Sanada Toshihei is different.
Sanada Shunhei knows, why did the Thunder Collector do this?
Many players from wealthy high schools, after entering high school from junior high school, insist on doing physical exercises for the first two or three months.
The level of high school is completely different from that of junior high school.
If they don't exercise their physical strength, no matter how exquisite their skills are, it will be difficult to show them in high school competitions.
Especially when you encounter a strong team like the three high schools of the city university.
If the first-year players don't have enough stamina, they won't even be qualified to fight their opponents.
Sanada Toshihei understands this.
So don't look at the first-grade elementary school students, they have been doing basic and physical exercises.
But in Sanada Toshihei's view, the Thunder Collector is full of expectations for their future.
In the past, Sanada Shunpei may never have thought that with his strength and the foundation of the Yakushi High School baseball team, he would challenge the three giants of Western Tokyo, and even enter Koshien.
But now, Sanada Toshihei really feels that they don't have the slightest chance.
Such an interesting pair of father and son, as well as Li Lei, an interesting junior like Mishima.
If they had been obscure, wouldn't that be a tyrannical thing?
People don't admit defeat.
Even those second- and third-grade seniors don't really have much confidence in their hearts.
At this time, they also raised their hands one after another.
The next time they meet the three high schools of the city, they also want to win.
In the end, more than half of the more than 20 players on the Yakushi High School baseball team raised their hands.
There were only a few freshmen, and the senior who had just lost his temper at Mihashi, lowered his head and didn't speak.
Bang Lei Zang looked at this scene with satisfaction, and just as he was about to say something, a trembling little hand was resolutely raised in the puzzled eyes of the friends around him.
The owner of this little hand is Mitsuhashi.
The expression on Mihashi's face was very stubborn, and he left the youth stick and chose to join the pharmacist just to play baseball.
Intuitively, Mitsuhashi thought he couldn't back down at this time.
Once he retreats, he may never have a chance to be a regular in his life.
"Excellent! Who's that? ”
Thunder Zang pointed to Mihashi, trying to recall the other party's name, and finally came up with it.
"Mitsui-san!"
"I'm Mitsuhashi, Coach!"
Mitsuhashi retorted with a look of resentment.
"It doesn't matter, all the players who can raise their hands are the right choice for the new team!"
Thunder Hide's sudden decision stunned everyone at the scene.
The pharmacist high school baseball team has a total of 15 seniors in the second and third grades and a total of 11 freshmen.
Twenty-six people in total.
In addition to the senior who bullied Mitsuhashi just now, there were 5 freshmen who didn't raise their hands.
This also means that the six of them have completely lost the opportunity to become the main choice.
After Mitsuhashi raised his hand, it was just enough to make up a large list of 20 people.
The six newborn people, in addition to Thunder City, Mishima, Akiba, Li Lei and Mihashi, there is also a guy named Yonehara.
Yonehara is also from the youth baseball, and unlike Mitsuhashi, Yonehara is in the youth baseball team and has served as the main rotation player.
He has solid fundamentals.
"Overseer, why?"
The senior who had just bullied Mitsuhashi widened his eyes in disbelief.
"I came to this school as a coach with a mission. Within two years, I had to take this team to Koshien or I would have to ask the principal to resign. So it's a pity that we don't have the confidence to challenge the top three players in the city, and our team doesn't need them. ”
Thunder Hide, who had always been giggling, suddenly became extremely serious.
"Maybe you think it's unfair, but you can't help it, it's fate. Who made your life worse than me, a poor overseer? In the future, what our team believes in is that the capable will prevail. Whether it is the third grade, the second grade or the first grade, as long as you have the strength, you can become the team's regular selection. There's a game tomorrow morning, old and new, so if you're not convinced, prove yourself. ”
After finishing speaking, Bang Lei Zang looked at the 20 people who raised their hands and said with a smile on his face.
"You're the team's best choice from now on, so please take me to Koshien! Otherwise, I'm going to lose my job again......"
It was obviously a very sad thing, but when it came out of Bang Lei's mouth, Li Lei couldn't help but want to laugh.
It is worthy of Mr. Thunder Zang.
The conflict between the old and new students accumulated for more than two weeks, and it was resolved by him lightly.
And through this incident, the tone of Yakushi High School can also be set.
When Thunder Zang brazenly told all his disciples to let these disciples take him into Koshien together.
The goal of the Yakushi High School baseball team is Koshien.
Many second- and third-grade seniors have been waiting for this incident to happen, and every time they think about it, they can't believe it.
I didn't expect that these guys would one day work hard for the goal of Koshien.
Although it feels a little unlikely.
But the motivation in their hearts is still more sufficient.
Tomorrow's old and new game is destined to be a battle of dragons and tigers.
Although the quota of the first army has been determined, the main force has not yet been decided.
And the places are not set in stone.
Those guys who didn't raise their hands probably have their intestines already repentant.
Tomorrow's game, they will definitely grit their teeth and fight to the end.
Time flies, and a day has passed in the blink of an eye.
Half a month after the first-year students of the Yakushi High School baseball team entered the school, they began to play their first game.
Their opponent is the powerhouse Yakushi High School baseball team, which reached the third round of the Tokyo Spring Tournament.
