Chapter 9: Born Leaders (2-in-1)

"Score!"

"The first to score a point is a super dark horse, the Yakushi High School baseball team!!

The narrator's voice is extremely high-pitched.

The atmosphere of the Koshien scene was also brought to a climax.

Some supporters of the Yakushi High School baseball team, including some neutral fans, all waved their arms excitedly.

They really felt that this scene was too exciting.

A reporter from Baseball Kingdom Magazine, Akiko Owada, who came to watch the Koshien game.

Something incredible, looking at the rejoicing people around them.

"Aren't they getting too excited? I thought Kiryu Osaka would be more popular."

Fujio on the side pressed the hat on his head with his hand, and his voice was full of magnetism.

"Of course, there are not a few people who support the Cosmos team. But more people are still willing to see dramatic effects, such as the end of the king."

Compared with Osaka Kiryu's easy victory, the melon-eating crowd in the stands is undoubtedly more willing to see the scene of their defeat.

There is no reason, this is the truest human nature.

"It's scary!"

Owada Akiko, shuddering.

She put herself in her shoes and was surprised to find that from the standpoint of ordinary people, they were indeed more expecting that result.

"With Li Lei here, I don't know if this scene will really happen."

Regarding his assistant's speculation, Fujifu nodded in affirmation.

He also discovered this.

The game obviously started, but the atmosphere of the game changed unconsciously.

I don't know when the object of people's support has changed.

At the same time, in faraway western Tokyo.

There are a group of players on the Yakushi High School baseball team, old friends who are very familiar, and they are watching their game.

"It is worthy of Li Lei, even if it is a duel with the Universe Team, he has the style of a general."

"This opponent is the one we must defeat."

In the Seido High School baseball team, a group of players are watching the live broadcast.

For the former Qingdao High School baseball team, before the new season, their most important task is to find a way to target two mortal enemies.

Only by beating those two teams will they have a chance to stand out.

But this year, the situation is destined to change.

In addition to the two mortal enemies they were supposed to defeat, they had to add a name to the list they had to defeat.

They want to get revenge on the Yakushi High School baseball team.

This task is even prioritized before other tasks.

Not only the players of the Seido High School baseball team, but also the giants of the other two teams have set their sights on the pharmacist.

If it were any other team, they wouldn't have to.

All strong teams actually have a very important thing in common. That's when their summer tournament is over, with their new squad formation, their style and characteristics of the team, and some of the tactics that their team will use.

will change.

With the third-year players gone, their tactics naturally had to be adjusted.

But this point is not very appropriate for the baseball team of Yakushi High School.

Therefore, their main force also has a lot of third-year players. But the most important main players in their team, without exception, are all in the first and second grades.

Most of them are first-year newcomers.

This means that the Yakushi High School baseball team is different from other strong teams.

After they win, they will not drastically change their tactics or adjust their style.

The real situation is quite the opposite.

Not only will they not adjust to change, even more

It is possible to further develop on the basis of the original.

until a complete offensive and defensive system is formed.

In this case, the performance of the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team on the Koshien field is also a very important reference.

As long as they operate and use it well, they can take this opportunity to thoroughly study the baseball team of Yakushi High School.

In terms of the current status of the Yakushi High School baseball team, as long as they can study the Yakushi High School baseball team thoroughly, they can solve a strong opponent in advance.

On the field of Koshien.

Li Lei and his friends didn't feel any malice at all.

It's not that they're slow to react, it's mainly that at this time, they're completely immersed in joy and don't care about anything else.

The faces of the friends were all filled with happy smiles.

The opponent is the Cosmos team, and they can still take the lead.

Considering that their ace pitcher is Li Lei, who has hardly made any mistakes.

The friends of the pharmacist high school baseball team suddenly had a feeling in their hearts.

It's a wonderful feeling, but it's real.

No, everyone is not optimistic about their game, they can win!

On the one hand, it is the confidence of the friends in themselves, and on the other hand, it is also out of trust in their ace pitcher.

In such a crucial matchup, without a reliable trump card, the consequences are unimaginable.

The friends of the pharmacist high school baseball team are lucky.

Although they are only a dark horse team, they have two outstanding leaders in their team.

One of them is still Li Lei.

This is a great thing, and it is enough to make the friends of the pharmacist high school baseball team feel that they have the possibility to win the game.

Their confidence in the game exploded all at once.

Seeing such a scene, the players of the Cosmos team all looked gloomy.

The score on the field became 1:0.

After returning to home plate, Li Lei, who returned to his rest area, also received the same treatment as everyone greeted the hero's triumph.

This feeling is undoubtedly very uncomfortable for them.

They felt their mood fall to the bottom all of a sudden.

"These guys don't know what they're called!"

"Do they think they've won the game?"

Not only the faces of ordinary players were gloomy, but even Matsumoto, the supervisor of their team, had a change in the expression on his face.

He was chubby, and he looked a bit kind.

From the beginning of the game, to just now.

The smile on Superintendent Matsumoto's face has not changed.

It feels like he's such a person.

However, now, the expression on his face made a 180-degree turn.

Not only is their ace like a ghost, but the superintendent of their family is exactly the same, and the facial features on his face are distorted.

When he saw his own overseer, he was about to show his true colors.

A group of players from the Cosmos team hurriedly stopped the overseer who was about to transform.

"This is the stage of Koshien, so please refrain a little."

"If something happens here, it's not just you, it's our entire school."

Under the persuasion of a group of disciples, Superintendent Matsumoto finally quieted down.

But his tone was still not good.

"What the hell do you idiots eat? Everyone has already bullied them to the doorstep, don't you know how to fight back? Fight back for me, fight back hard!!"

In the face of the strictness of their own supervision, the players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team nodded vigorously.

"Rest assured, you won't let the game go on like this."

"I'm going to give those guys a look!"

This is the attitude of these players on the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.

There is a saying that the high places are not cold.

There are more than 4,000 colleges and universities in the country, and there are more than 50 top wealthy families. Although among these giants, there will also be three, six, nine and so on.

But on the whole, everyone's level is about the same.

They have been able to fight in Koshien all year round, and they have performed well in Koshien.

Not to mention the sudden appearance of the dark horse won the championship all the way.

On this stage, the probability of a dark horse appearing is not large.

For example, the pharmacist high school baseball team, the sudden appearance of their team has caused quite a stir.

There are only a few teams like this in total, and there are more than 40 teams participating in the competition.

You can count it on your fingers.

Osaka Kiryu is known as the most wealthy of the riches.

Even among the giants, their strength is second to none.

Being able to stand in this position all year round, in addition to their own strength, their players' mentality and experience are also first-class.

Even if their family supervisor was a little excited, the other players knew very well how to solve problems when they encountered them.

Hiromi on the pitcher's mound, after dropping a point, showed no signs of collapse.

Instead, he threw harder.

He quickly completed the stop loss, solved the next hitter on the Pharmacist High School baseball team, and won the number of outs smoothly.

"Smack!"

"Out!"

When the 5th baseball was out, the preemptive attack of the Yakushi High School baseball team was also drawn.

In the second half of the first game, Kiryu Osaka attacked.

Those friends who were extremely excited just now were a little dumbfounded when faced with this situation.

You must know that just now, they were completely immersed in joy, although they could not win the game directly, but they also occupied the biggest advantage......

How did the situation change so quickly?

They have not yet gotten rid of the previous emotions, and now the situation on both sides has changed?

"How so?"

"Isn't it a little too fast?"

Just when this kind of question appeared in the hearts of the friends, Li Lei clapped his hands excitedly.

"It's our turn! Give these guys a dismount!"

His words were like a guiding light at this time.

Let those friends who have doubts in their hearts find the direction in an instant.

Bombardment Hidden Supervisor glanced at Li Lei in great surprise.

Usually Li Lei, whether in the rest area or on the field, is very low-key.

It's because his strength is so outstanding, and his performance on the court is amazing.

His whole talent is radiant.

But overall, Li Lei is not a very showy person.

But when it came to Koshien.

Li Lei's whole state has undergone earth-shaking changes.

He's no longer the same as before, just doing his part.

He began to take the responsibility of the team on his shoulders, and he began to carry the whole team on his back and run forward together.

"This guy!"

A natural leader!

This adjective is absolutely not exaggerated, but it is a thunderbolt hidden by feeling.

The more difficulties and crises the team encounters, the more amazing Li Lei's performance on the court is, and the more reliable he is.

Players like this, the entire Pharmacist High School baseball team actually has one more.

That's their sophomore's main pitcher, Toshihei Sanada.

Sanada Toshihei is undoubtedly also

He is a very good leader, and all the players on the Pharmacist High School baseball team are very willing to believe in him and are willing to win games with him.

But anything is afraid of comparison!

If it weren't for Li Lei's appearance, not to mention the rest of the Yakushi High School baseball team, even the bombardment of Lei Zang himself thought that Sanada didn't have any shortcomings.

He's a natural leader of the team!

But Li Lei came, put the two people together for comparison, and the gap could still be reflected.

And this gap is quite large.

In contrast, Li Lei's performance is more reliable.

He is like a needle that fixes the sea, stabilizing the hearts of the players and guiding everyone forward.

Sanada is very similar to him.

It's just that occasionally there are times when the blood is too much, and it will lead the team to a situation out of control.

Li Lei has no problems in this regard at all, and while he leads everyone to move forward positively, his brain can also remain calm.

He knows exactly what he needs to do and how the team reacts when it comes to it.

"Our leader, the next game is also for you!"

I don't know if Li Lei understood the hint of the superintendent of the thunder hide.

But when he led his teammates to the field, the mentality of his teammates had changed.

They even have some expectations for the matter of garrisoning.

Li Lei stood on the pitcher's mound, his face once again showing no expression before.

At this time, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, the first batter, has also stood in the strike zone.

The whole feeling of him is quite aggressive.

It's like trampling everyone under your feet.

Facing such an opponent, Li Lei's face was expressionless, but his mood was very relaxed.

The friends of the pharmacist high school baseball team observed very carefully, and they also felt his ease through Li Lei's state.

Inexplicably, everyone's mood has settled down a lot.

Nothing to be afraid of!

It's not like they've never met an opponent like this before.

Take the three giants of Nishitokyo as an example, which giants have they not played against, and which giants have not had such a confrontation?

They have experienced too many scenes like this, and their mentality has already been honed.

"Let them come!"

"We'll use our bodies to stop the ball!"

The players also began to use their own ways to support Li Lei on the pitcher's hill.

This is the state that complements each other, so that the entire Yakushi High School baseball team is integrated into a whole.

Li Lei can also devote himself to the duel with the Osaka Kiryu beater.

"Whoosh!"
