Chapter Twenty-Four: The First Battle, a Sensation Across the Country! (2-in-1)

"We are Team Universe, Team Universe like no other!"

"It doesn't matter who the challenger is? We will all be the victors in the end. This is the fate of the king......"

"The strongest! Strongest !!! ”

Supporters of the Cosmos began to shout the slogan that the Cosmos Team had handed down over the years.

These slogans, as usual, are not used.

Because of the Cosmos team, they can always crush their opponents with ease. And these slogans are too tragic and tragic.

They simply don't fit in, the temperament and majesty of the Cosmos.

But now, those supporters of the Space Team suddenly found that these long-standing slogans are still very valuable and meaningful.

Just like now, these slogans are very indicative of the current thinking and mentality of the players of Team Cosmos.

They're really going to fight to the death.

The player on the Cosmos team, who was also the last hitter they played, seemed to work very hard.

He used all his skills and didn't rush to hit the ball.

Rather, it is constant, hitting the ball out of bounds.

entangled with Li Lei for a full five goals......

Towards the end of the game, the players were still on the court, showing such fighting spirit and perseverance.

Even Fujio, a veteran reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine, kept nodding his head.

"Although in today's game, Kiryu Osaka has no power to return to the sky. But it cannot be denied that this is a very strong and good team. ”

Even when you know that the team has no possibility of turning defeat into victory.

The players on their court are still unwilling to give up the game, and they still want to turn defeat into victory.

Perhaps to most people, this is a bit pathetic and ridiculous.

But that's the soul of a strong team.

Today's defeat will not be an eternal wound for the Cosmos team, but will become a stronger and stronger motivation for them.

This is the giants!

And the famous Universe Team is a giant among the giants.

"What do you think of Li Lei?"

Owada Akiko asked curiously.

In the face of such a persistent attack of the Cosmos team, the little girl was very curious, what did Li Lei think at this time?

What is he going to do?

'It's a good question, it's the core of the question, and it's going to be a big part of the game.

"Team Cosmos is indeed a very good team, and I am not polite, but I am just stating a fact. At the level of performance they performed today, they are also worthy of the title of Team Cosmos. It's just a pity that they ran into Li Lei and the pharmacist......"

On the pitch, sometimes hard work doesn't always pay off.

It's like right now, Team Cosmos is good! The players also performed very well.

It's just a pity that their opponents were even more perfect.

That's why on the court, there will be such a scene in front of you.

The Cosmos team, which performed well, was beaten 3:0 solidly.

It's not that they're bad, it's just that the opponents are better.

"Even at the last minute of the game, I firmly believe that Li Lei's performance will be better."

As if to verify Fujifu's words, Li Lei, who had been entangled for 5 balls in a row, took a deep breath on the pitcher's mound.

Then he slammed it out again, exhaling that breath.

"Whew!"

With this breath, Li Lei raised his legs high, and the baseball in his hand also followed the shift of the center of gravity of his body and threw it.

"Hugh!"

The white baseball, like a deadly bullet, instantly penetrated the defenders of the hitters.

The hitter does his best and swings the bat in his hand in an attempt to knock the ball out.

However, the moment the baseball approached the bat, it suddenly fell and successfully bypassed the interception of the bat.

"Smack!"

The baseball smashed straight in, Watanabe's open gloves.

"Good shot!"

"Strikeout!!

At this time, don't talk about other people, even the commentary of this game, the voice is trembling.

What did he see?

The famous Cosmos team, one of the favorites to win the championship in Koshien this time.

If not the No. 1 seed, at least the No. 2 seed.

It was just like that, and it was solved by the opponent?

What's going on?

Even if the game is over, even if the result has been decided.

The commentator of today's game still feels that the result in front of him is difficult for him to accept.

“3:0!”

"That dark horse team, actually won the Universe team?"

"These monsters! These monsters !! ”

The fans in the stands, after realizing what had happened, also spoke in trembling voices.

Even from their point of view, they think that what is happening in front of them is a little ridiculous.

Just commented, a veteran reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine Fujio.

Hearing everyone's incredulous discussion, he shook his head.

"What's wrong, Senpai? Isn't that right? ”

Owada Akiko's face is filled with a smile that makes people like it.

They were in charge of interviewing Seongdo at first.

Later, the Seido High School baseball team lost to Yakushi, and then lost the opportunity to prove himself in Koshien Field.

As journalists, they can't just interrupt their interviews for such reasons.

It was from that time that the two changed their interview subjects and began to go all out to interview the super dark horse pharmacist.

As the main interview subject, they inevitably have a preference in their hearts.

For example, with the pharmacist, they have a different kind of feeling.

So much so that now, they almost take it for granted that the pharmacist high school baseball team is a team they support.

Now the team they are backing has won.

Whether it is from personal feelings or at work, it is a thing to be happy about.

"That's right! It is indeed very difficult for the pharmacist high school baseball team to win today's game, especially to win today's game so easily. But these people, apparently forgot, a more important point. ”

"What?"

Owada Akiko stared at her big eyes and asked suspiciously.

"That is, in addition to the victory or defeat of the game itself, a player on the court has also completed an incredible miracle."

"Miracle!"

"That's right, it's a miracle. Before today's match, a player from Team Cosmos had never encountered anything like this. Li Lei has never completed such an outstanding performance on the court before. ”

"You mean?"

"That's right! It's a perfect clean sheet! This kind of competition is very rare, and it is almost impossible for even one player to be able to finish the shot. Li Lei not only did these two things, but his opponent was the famous Osaka Kiryu. ”

When he said this, Fujifu's voice trembled slightly.

What an incredible picture.

Originally, when his predecessors didn't say it, Owada Akiko didn't feel anything about it.

After such an introduction by her seniors, Owada Akiko also widened her eyes in disbelief.

The little girl had clearly thought of something.

"That's the biggest news of the day!!"

"Li Lei's name will inevitably cause a sensation in the entire baseball world!!"

There are not a few experts on the scene who are like Fujifu. At a time when most of the people were cheering and celebrating the birth of the strongest dark horse.

The eyes of these people have naturally shifted to Li Lei.

They clearly realized in their hearts that this young man would definitely become a great man in the future!

It's just for the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team, including for Li Lei himself.

At this time, they don't have the heart to take care of these things at all.

In their heads, in their minds, in their minds.

It's excitement, and celebration.

"Win!"

"We really won the Cosmos team!!"

For the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team, the result in front of them is enough to surpass everything.

Their Koshien did not come in vain.

You know, when I first decided that my opponent in the first round was Team Cosmos.

Even many players on the pharmacist high school baseball team are full of apprehension in their hearts.

Don't look at the fact that they have beaten a couple of big teams before.

But the opponents they defeated were all rivals they were already very familiar with, although they were also giants, in the face of such acquaintances, the players of the pharmacist high school baseball team inevitably felt less nervous.

But they are aliens to the Cosmos team.

The name of the other party is like thunder.

This is undoubtedly a very difficult test for the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team.

So much so that many of their friends seem to be only a little bit short of it, and they can't hold it out.

It's not that they're incompetent.

The main thing is that their opponents are too strong in strength and reputation.

So much so that the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team have a sense of self-shame when they face each other.

They feel that they are not on the same level as each other.

But now, the friends of the Yakushi High School baseball team have overcome all the fears in their hearts.

They won the game with dignity, and they also won the Cosmos 3-0.

What a glorious achievement?

In the future, if you face any opponent, the friends of the Yakushi High School baseball team will not be afraid.

Quite the opposite.

At this time, their hearts were full of hope.

No matter what the opponent is, they are confident that they will fight each other in a duel.

The ambitions of the players on the Yakushi High School baseball team have also swelled up a lot unconsciously.

Now, their inner thoughts have changed drastically.

They began to imagine a more brilliant and beautiful future.

Maybe they are super dark horses, even if they are on the field in Koshien, they can make a big difference.

Many friends came to Li Lei's side and talked to Li Lei excitedly.

During the competition, Li Lei was the backbone of all the friends.

It is precisely because of the presence of such an ace pitcher that the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team can be fearless on the court.

After the end of the game, they were still willing to pester Li Lei, and they were still reluctant to give up on Li Lei.

Unconsciously, Li Lei has become the real core of the team.

Whether it was during the game or after the game, his core position has never wavered.

"See? Silly son. That's the real core! You're not close!! ”

Although his baby son's performance on the court is not bad, the superintendent of Thunder Zang still seems to be dissatisfied.

In a nutshell.

People should be damned than people, and goods should be thrown away......

Compared with Li Lei, his precious son has no strength, but he is still far behind.

The players of the Yakushi High School baseball team, including many supporters of their team, were celebrating with a bang.

On the other hand, what about their opponents.

It's not that the players of the Cosmos team can't afford to lose.

Although they are the number one team in the country, this team has its own characteristics.

In other words, they also have their own arrogance.

They can afford to take it and they can put it down.

It's just that Koshien lost in the first round, and it also lost to a dark horse team.

As the proud sons of the universe team, their faces are a little unbearable.

After all, people still want to be face-saving.

For this one thing alone, their faces are a little unpleasant, and some are a little unbearable.

"These guys, you're getting a little excited?"

'It's the first time they've had this experience, and it's beaten by us, it's not surprising.

Just when a group of people were talking, someone happened to see their family overseer.

Superintendent Matsumoto's face was gloomy as if he could drip water.

Seeing the face of their own supervisor, the players of the Universe Team looked at each other one by one.

Deep down, there was a sudden chilling fear in their hearts.

Today's game is over, and many third-year players are about to leave the team.

For them who are about to leave the team, their own supervision should not be so scary.

After all, as they graduate, there are fewer and fewer areas that the superintendent can control them.

But the psychological shadow cultivated over the past few years is not so easy to solve.

Seeing the ugly face of their family supervisor, many players of the Universe Team still couldn't help but spin their legs and stomachs and tremble.

On the other side, the players on the Yakushi High School baseball team are also in big trouble.

Koshien has a rule.

That is, after the end of the competition, the school song of the school that will win.

As soon as they heard about this, the friends of the pharmacist high school baseball team all looked at each other.

Does their school have a school song?

"Do you know our school song?"

Mishima asked very nervously after Li Lei.

"I can't even remember the school motto, do you think I can remember the school song?"

Li Lei shrugged his shoulders very helplessly.

In fact, Li Lei had already expected this scene in front of him.

But at that time, he had already put all his mind on the showdown with the Cosmos team.

In that case, it was impossible for Li Lei to have the heart to practice a song.

Li Lei was thinking at the time.

If he is alone, it shouldn't be a big problem, even if it's indiscriminate, he just needs to open his mouth.

He is still confident in lip-syncing.

But Li Lei obviously overestimated the group of companions around him, and those second- and third-year seniors were more reliable.

One of them, the core main force of the first grade, is counted as one, and none of them can sing the school song.

All of them are ready to lip-tune.
