"Why did this guy pop up all of a sudden?"

The most unacceptable thing for the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team is that they don't know where this opponent came from.

And why did it pop up?

Remember, when they started to be crowned the strongest dark horse, it was because of their game against the Cosmos.

Even until now, my friends still remember that game.

They remember very well every picture of that day.

Even though Koshien is still going on, even if their journey is not over, when they dream back at midnight, the friends still remember their excitement.

They are the only dark horses.

In Koshien, there are no other teams that have performed well.

It's just that the performance of those teams is not worth mentioning at all compared to the baseball team of Yakushi High School.

So much so that the friends didn't find out at all, which team can challenge them?

As the game progressed, the remaining teams grew stronger and stronger.

Especially at the level of the quarterfinals, without two brushes, it is impossible to stay.

The players on the Yakushi High School baseball team were already prepared.

The next thing they have to face is definitely the top giants in the country.

Dark horses, and strong teams in general, won't stay here at all.

But now it looks as if they were wrong.

In addition to them, there is really a team that has stayed until now.

Not only that, but the other party even wants to compete with them for the name of the strongest dark horse.

Outrageous!

"It's not a cat or a dog, they can be compared to us."

Perhaps it was because there were so many top giants in the country that the friends of the pharmacist high school baseball team unknowingly made a ruler in their hearts.

This yardstick is either used to measure others, or specifically to measure their own.

What was the level of the former Yakushi High School baseball team?

They don't care anymore.

Just a few months ago, in the spring competition, they lost to the city university's junior high school.

But so what?

The friends don't care at all.

At this time, they only care about one thing.

Is that their strength at this stage?

After all, the previous strength, before those first-year little monsters didn't join, what was there to say.

Even the second- and third-year seniors admit that the main force of their team is not the seniors, but those monster-level first-year newcomers.

New talent is their backbone.

Therefore, the first thing to consider when evaluating their team is not the old men of the 23rd grade, but the strength of the first-year newcomers.

As for the overall strength of their current team.

That is even more verified by the game, and the friends of the pharmacist high school baseball team think in their hearts that they are at least the top giants in the country.

A dark horse that came out of nowhere, trying to compare with them, just doesn't know what to do, doesn't know whether to live or die?

Not only did those friends find it difficult to accept, but even Li Lei felt very incredible.

Because of the outstanding performance of the pharmacist high school baseball team, many people now have a filter in their eyes when they look at the pharmacist high school baseball team.

It was widely believed that they had a chance to win the title.

It sounds, but it's a real thing.

I don't dare to say everyone, basically those fans who have watched the game of the pharmacist high school baseball team, more than half of them think that their dark horse is likely to be blacked out.

】

No kidding!

They really felt this surging potential from the baseball team of Yakushi High School.

In this case, the media can still report that there is a team that can be compared to them in terms of the level of dark horses.

Or even let them fight.

And the opponent is still a team from Hokkaido.

According to what Li Lei learned before, although the land area of the island country is not large, it is a long and narrow strip.

So much so that his latitude is not at all less than that of a large country.

Hokkaido, located in the northernmost part of the country, is covered in snow and ice all year round, making it a place where sports are not very popular.

No way, the physical conditions don't allow it.

Covered in ice and snow all year round, and it snows heavily for ten months a year, and in such an environment, there is no way to play many open-air sports.

Especially baseball and football.

"This kind of place, can you also kill a strong team?"

Li Lei was skeptical at first.

However, he also knew in his heart that if there was such an abnormal team, if there was no such anomaly, it would be fine, and once it really appeared, they must be particularly abnormal.

Soon Li Lei began to search for information from his mobile phone.

I don't know if I don't search, but when I search, I was taken aback.

Previously, the focus of people's attention was all attracted by the pharmacist high school baseball team, so that the performance of other teams was rarely reported.

It's something that can't be helped.

Journalists also need to eat, and while they need to eat, they need traffic, and there is a lot of traffic.

What kind of stories are the most eye-catching?

They just like to report on something.

In fact, in addition to the Yakushi High School baseball team, the performance of many teams in this year's Koshien is also very eye-catching.

It's just that the pharmacist's performance is too good!

They started against Team Cosmos, a team with a very good chance of winning the championship.

They also beat Team Cosmos and it was a 3-0 scoreline.

In this case, the light that erupted from other teams that performed well was instantly overshadowed by the pharmacist high school baseball team.

No matter how good they are, they don't even compare to the Pharmacist High School baseball team.

And such a contrasting report is like a delicious meal for those journalists.

If they miss it, won't they regret it for the rest of their lives?

Journalists understand this, so they must not lack such reports.

Large-scale pharmacist reports inevitably crowd out the space for other news.

So much so that a lot of news has been reported, but the effect is not very ideal.

The most interesting of these are the two teams.

One of them is the previous champion Sibong!

Last year's champion, this year is also the first seed. Many people think that this team will inevitably encounter unprecedented challenges.

There's a good chance they'll capsize in the gutter.

But in fact, people did not show such a decline.

On the contrary, the performance of the Sibon High School baseball team is relatively eye-catching.

It's impossible for people not to pay attention.

Everyone's attention was naturally attracted by this team.

It's just that the baseball team of Yakushi High School has made too much of the limelight, so that the first seed has to avoid the edge for the time being.

Although the name is not as good as that of a pharmacist.

But judging from the results of the game, their chance to go to the end is actually no less than that of the friends of the pharmacist high school baseball team.

This is a very traditional powerhouse, the top of the country.

Offensively and defensively, they are top-notch.

Especially their ace pitcher, who has the strength of their team.

It's also speechless!

So strong that people are speechless, it is not difficult to see how hopeful is this team that can go to the end?

In addition to them, another one that performed well was the dark horse Hokkaido troll Otomaki high school baseball team.

In fact, the Yakushi High School baseball team had heard the name of this team before.

It is said that their team is also doing well and is known as a dark horse second only to pharmacists.

But at that time, they were not in the same group as the Yakushi High School baseball team.

In other words, in a short period of time, the friends of the pharmacist high school baseball team will not be able to touch anyone at all.

In a place like Koshien, the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team are still very realistic. The opponents they can meet, of course, they have to pay attention to.

The kind that can't be touched in a short period of time, then it's no wonder that they really don't have the time and energy to think about it so much.

And the Koshien arena is very brutal.

By the time they break through from the group stage, the opponent has already been eliminated.

In this case, the friends of the Yakushi High School baseball team apparently think that it is not a good thing for them to pay too much attention to each other.

It's a waste of time!

No one expected that this unexpected dark horse not only survived strongly, but also performed extremely well.

Especially in the third round that they just ended, they actually defeated a top national giant, and it was a big score.

It's the same as the Yakushi High School baseball team that eliminated the White Dragons 7:0.

When the trolls of the high school baseball team eliminated a top national giant, their fame skyrocketed.

Especially the pitchers on their team.

The wheel battle of several pitchers was stunned to keep a clean sheet against the opponent.

In Koshien, changing pitchers frequently is actually a very risky thing.

Every player is in a different state.

I was in good shape before, but today I may be in bad form.

Players who can really control their emotions and always maintain their form at the top are rare anywhere.

Especially the younger players.

For example, Li Lei, the ace of the super dark horse pharmacist high school baseball team.

He's definitely one of those standouts.

Also, Narumiya of the baseball team of Inagi Industrial High School.

In contrast, the two pitchers of the Qingdao High School baseball team obviously do not have such a bearing.

It's simply impossible for them to maintain their daily state and be at a peak.

If they could do it, they might have won the game they had with the Pharmacist High School baseball team.

If they can win that game, then maybe they will be the ones who are now representing Nishitokyo.

It is precisely because there are very few such ace leaders that such pitchers are precious.

The Trolls Otomaki High School's baseball team frequently changes pitchers, which is actually challenging this.

Once they have a pitcher who performs poorly on the court, the performance is not in good shape.

They are very likely to be targeted, facing an opponent with a stormy attack.

Don't forget, it's the top clubs in the country who play against them.

Such a team may be lacking in others, but it will definitely not lack strong players.

Maybe that's why.

Those media reporters only thought that the troll Otsumaki High School baseball team was enough to compete with the super dark horse pharmacist.

It's no surprise that they would think so.

After all, several pitchers in a row have all shown excellent form, and to say that this is a coincidence is pure.

On top of that, the overseer of the Troll Otomaki High School baseball team resolutely replaced their team's pitchers even though their team's players were doing well.

This is a typical artist who is bold.

And their team's ace pitcher also threw a super ball speed of 148 kilometers.

This monster is different from Li Lei.

Li Lei used a special method and used certain techniques to barely increase his ball speed to this level.

Anyone who understands baseball understands that Li Lei will inevitably take the road of changing pitchers in the future.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of his talent!

But this monster player of the troll Otomaki High School baseball team, he is completely different.

He is a standard fast ball pitcher.

Every ball thrown from his hand is extremely fast, and it is impossible not to look sideways.

"The attacking power of the team is also very good! The most important thing is their garrison system. ”

Before he understood it, Li Lei's thoughts were similar to most of their team's friends.

He also thinks that the opponent might cause them a little bit of trouble.

But at the end of the day, there's certainly nothing to fear!

After all, they were the three giants of West Tokyo that they had challenged continuously, and even in the face of the Cosmos, they had a big advantage.

Although Li Lei is not as optimistic as those friends in their team.

But he doesn't think either.

With the strength of the Yakushi High School baseball team and the momentum they are showing.

Any team you come to can compete with them.

But now it seems that this troll from Hokkaido, I'm afraid he really has such qualifications.

They defended very tightly and the players were desperate!

And then with those pitchers with different characteristics.

The whole team has a sense of impeccable quality.

Li Lei didn't like this feeling very much.

But he also has to admit that being able to give him such a feeling already shows how extraordinary their opponent is.

"I just hope that when we are in the quarterfinals, we don't run into them so quickly!"

In addition to these two teams, the remaining five teams, although the strength is not bad.

They are all the top wealthy families in the country!

But from Li Lei's point of view, he believes that the probability of their team winning in the end is still very large.

If they can win this one, they can advance to the last four.

So far, the friends of the pharmacist high school baseball team are just keeping their capital.

The quarterfinals were not particularly unlucky for Nishitokyo, and they suddenly met the top seeds.

There's a good chance they'll make it this far.

It's like last summer, Daocheng Industrial won the top four, and in the spring, Koshien, the city university also reached the top eight.

They can only say that there is no shame!

But if they can make it to the last four or even to the final.

That's to bring glory to the whole of Nishitokyo!

When the time comes, when they return to Nishitokyo, they will have the qualifications to really compete with the three giants.

But God, it seems, is going to oppose them.
