Chapter 3: Team Tokyo, Let's Go to War!
Just like Li Lei's teammates in the national youth team guessed, Li Lei knows their opponents very well.
But the opponent they played against also knew Li Lei.
Especially now.
Li Lei led the pharmacist high school baseball team to dominate the country, and those proud sons of heaven had long held back their strength and wanted revenge.
Now that there is such an opportunity, they are not willing to let go of anything they say.
Li Lei and the others were still puzzled before......
Why didn't those guys go to prepare for the professional baseball draft, didn't interview for college?
Actually, the reason is simple.
On the one hand, they are unwilling.
Their high school baseball career came to an end, and they couldn't accept it......
In addition to this reason, the rest is the determination to take revenge on Li Lei.
There is not much difference between their age and Li Lei.
Not to mention those players who go to college, even if they join a professional team, I am afraid that there will not be too many opportunities to fight Li Lei in the future!
The reason is simple.
A real Tianjiao like Li Lei, even if they join a professional team, it is estimated that they will soon come out.
At that time, none of them, who entered the professional arena in advance, will necessarily be able to become the main force of the team.
On the contrary, it is Li Lei, who may already be a rookie in the professional arena.
Don't look at the same as playing professionally.
Their future is likely to be very different from Li Lei's future.
Not at all on a parallel line.
And the game in front of them, with a high probability, is their best chance of revenge.
Li Lei's personal strength.
Even if they were, they really couldn't find anything wrong.
Plus Li Lei's record.
He almost single-handedly brought the medicine master to that height.
In this case, they have no way to question Li Lei.
But put Li Lei in their national youth team.
The result would have been very different!
These players of the Tokyo team are still very confident that they can win this game.
They were gearing up, and they couldn't wait.
Li Lei and the players of the national youth team, after a period of familiarity, gradually found the feeling of their previous cooperation.
For the next practice game, they also made all preparations.
Originally, the strength of their national youth team had some signs of rising.
There are a lot of players in this year, baseball players!
Now Li Lei has sprung up again.
This made the ambition of the national youth team swell up all of a sudden.
This practice match against the Tokyo team was also used as a warm-up for next year's tournament.
Their original strength has a little chance to compete for the quarterfinals.
Now add a Li Lei!
Could their ambitions be greater?
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it's game day.
The players of the national youth team changed their clothes early and went to the competition venue.
The venue for their practice was chosen at the Hachioji Stadium in Tokyo.
On this day, the temperature was quite comfortable.
It's only 35 degrees!
The contestants sat on the air-conditioned buses, and they were all depressed.
"Is there a hot day in Tokyo?"
A little friend couldn't help but complain.
For him.
The high temperature of more than 30 degrees seems to be more scorching than the summer in his hometown.
"When Koshien plays, the pitch is even hotter!"
Li Lei doesn't know, is this his personal delusion?
But for the time.
Li Lei really felt that the temperature was like a steamer.
Rather, today!
Don't look at the reported temperatures, the temperature is very high.
But he didn't feel much about it.
He even felt that the breeze was blowing on his face, which was quite comfortable.
A player from the national youth team raised his hand to dial the air outlet of the air conditioner to himself.
"And now?"
When the cold air of the air conditioner left, Li Lei instantly had a different feeling.
He subconsciously frowned.
Then he took a serious look at his teammates and turned the air conditioning outlet over.
"It's okay......"
I have to admit it, even in an air-conditioned car.
Whether the cold wind is aligned or not, the feeling is still different.
"It's okay! Don't let the kids get heat stroke. ”
A female staff member who came with her couldn't help but ask worriedly.
In such weather.
Even if you don't do anything, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop the sweat on your people.
In this temperature, the players of the two teams play a fierce baseball game!
This kind of scene, just thinking about it, she has a chilling feeling.
It's so uncomfortable!
She didn't even dare to imagine that kind of scene.
"It's okay! Don't look at them with fine skin and tender meat, they have all experienced very harsh training! ”
It's not just Li Lei.
The rest of the national youth team is the same.
Despite their domestic, baseball is an unpopular sport.
There are not many people who pay attention, and even fewer people who fight.
But they have a large population base, and even if there are fewer people who fight, there will still be some.
In that group of players, the representatives who were singled out.
How can it be simple?
Yang Wei is still very confident in these players.
Hear from your own guide.
The players of the national youth team all held up their little chests one by one, and they were as proud as little roosters.
It feels like it's reliable.
Li Lei subconsciously glanced at Yang Wei.
In Li Lei's original impression, Yang Wei should be that kind of technical expert.
Knowledge of baseball, and the ability to supervise.
He had nothing to say.
But to talk about other aspects, especially personality.
Yang Wei is not a particularly good candidate.
His emotional intelligence is very lacking.
But now it seems that Li Lei's understanding of him is not comprehensive.
Perhaps in the past year or two, Yang Wei has changed.
His emotional intelligence is high, and even his ability to draw big pies is several times stronger than before.
The players were so majestic and high-spirited that they arrived at Hachioji Stadium.
Li Lei is still familiar with this court.
Previously, they played regional tournaments, most of which were played at Hachioji Stadium and Akita Stadium.
When he arrived here, Li Lei took the initiative to be a guide.
Helped everyone find the locker room, but changed the equipment.
Just as the friends were changing clothes, there was a sudden knock at the door of the dressing room.
"Dongdong!"
All who hear the knock at the door, look at me, and I look at you.
Embarrassing toe picking!
The locker room, as the name suggests, is where you change your clothes.
Many of the contestants are now shirtless, and some even take off their pants and wear a small pants.
At this time, someone knocks on the door to come in?
Should they open the door?
At this time, Li Lei had already changed his clothes.
He waved his hand at everyone, signaling everyone to be calm.
Although he also felt strange in his heart, Li Lei didn't think that there would be people who would come to them for trouble at this time?
It should be something else.
He walked to the doorway of the locker room, gently turned the doorknob, and pulled a crack.
Then he looked out through the crack in the door.
See if anyone has a camera in their hand, or if there's a girl......
Fortunately, there are none.
There was no one with a camera at the door, and there were no girls.
There are a few, Li Lei's acquaintances.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing the young man at the head, Li Lei's brows furrowed even tighter.
He was at the door, and he actually saw Cheng Gongming?
This feeling is simply subversive!
According to the information they got before, their opponents should all be players who have left the team in the third year.
"Hee-hee, is there any surprise?"
"Isn't it a surprise?"
Unexpected, of course.
"There's no way around it, who doesn't have a reliable pitcher in the third grade. I'm going to make it difficult! ”
Of course, the third-year pitchers in Tokyo have good strength.
If the opponent is only the mainland national youth team.
Even if a few points are lost in the game, the Guoyou Supervisor will not care.
He has absolute confidence in their current ultra-luxurious line.
He believes that those children will be able to chase back the scores.
But the opponent is Li Lei!
Then it's a different story.
Once they're not careful, throw three or four points!
Or even lose two points!
The situation is very dangerous.
With Li Lei sitting in the pitcher's hill, even if they are now, they have assembled a very strong strike lineup.
The Friends of the Nations Supervisor also does not think that they can score many points.
"Are you going to pitch the whole time?"
Seeing the expression on Cheng Gongming's face, Li Lei had a bad premonition in his heart.
If you really let this guy throw from the beginning of the game to the end of the game......
Then they will have a hard time scoring.
It is true that there are no top-notch pitchers in Tokyo.
The only one that can get its hands on it.
may also be the real middle school of the city's three high schools.
But if he really comes to be the trump card, then Li Lei may have different ambitions for the outcome of this practice game.
It seems that it is still necessary for the superintendent of Guoyou to deliberately call Cheng Gong over.
It's just that for them, this result seems to be a bit cruel.
After talking a few words, Narumiya seemed to have completed the task and left with Carl Ross.
Looking at the backs of the two, Li Lei fell into deep thought.
"That guy just now, does it look familiar?"
Seeing that Li Lei didn't come back in the middle of the ring, Li Ning took the initiative to chase after him.
He saw Narumiya's face.
"Our opponents!"
Li Lei smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Very strong?"
Out of a man's intuition, Li Ning subconsciously asked.
Li Lei frowned.
In the end, he nodded in resignation.
"Very strong!"
It is no exaggeration to say that this man's strength is simply a bit out of line.
Even if it was the match between the pharmacist and Cheng Gongming, they were lucky enough to get the score.
Otherwise, what would be the end result?
It's really hard to judge.
"Then I'm looking forward to it!
”
After Li Lei returned to the locker room, he found that his friends looked at him with a little curiosity.
This is not surprising either.
In the past, those players of the national youth team only knew that Li Lei's performance was very strong.
He led the dark horse pharmacist and won the championship of Koshien in the summer.
This kind of thing sounds quite uplifting.
But they don't know what it really means.
Until this time.
They actually saw those proud Tokyo Heavenly Pride and took the initiative to run to greet Li Lei.
There is nothing more shocking than the scene in front of you.
It was not until this time that everyone really realized how high the gold content of Li Lei's identity as the national overlord was.
Even those who are the pride of the sky in Tokyo are eager for him.
Just when everyone was thinking so, Dongdong's voice sounded at the door again.
This time it's Omae.
He also came here to declare war on purpose.
Immediately after that, the players of the Seido High School baseball team also came over......
Before the real competition, these players all took the initiative to visit Li Lei.
Originally, Li Lei's status in the national youth team was very special.
This time, it is even more indescribable.
"They're all here?"
Some friends couldn't help but open their mouths in horror.
"The other party has gathered a total of 30 players, and 16 have just come, which is just over half."
Li Lei explained with a smile.
It seems that in his opinion, all this is not a big deal at all......
But in fact, is that really the case?
It was indeed half of the total number of people who came.
But these guys are the main force that really competes with them, okay?
As for the rest of the ones.
It can't be said that it is not important, but compared to what has come over, it seems a little insignificant.
"It's up to you next!"
"Please!"
"Let's go!"
Facing the little eyes of the friends who sincerely wished each other.
Li Lei couldn't say what he was suffering from.
He felt that the burden on his shoulders seemed heavier than it had just been.
Before the start of the game, the players walked out of the locker room and warmed up on the court.
As soon as they walked out of the locker room door, they saw a lot of fans in the stands.
"How so?"
This game is non-profit, and it doesn't do much publicity.
Who didn't expect that in this situation, there would be so many fans in the stands?
"There is no impermeable wall, and when I heard that there was Li Lei in this game, many fans rushed over."
That's why the scene is so lively......
"Who are they supporting?"
"Most of them support the Tokyo team, and a small part is here to cheer for Li Lei."
As for their national youth team, of course no one supports it.
"Big away!
! ”
The players of the national youth team, after realizing this, looked a little ugly.
This is also not to blame them.
If there is a choice, who would want to play such a game?
"Cheer up, now is not the time to escape!
! ”
Seeing the expressions of his teammates, Yang Wei spoke directly.
"Don't worry, we're not going to be intimidated by this little scene."
The competition officially began, and the players from both sides took their places.
The players of the Tokyo team are very interesting.
The pitcher is Narumi Narumiya, the catcher is Masako Harada, the first baseman Tetsuya Yuuki, the second baseman Ryosuke Kominato, the third baseman Ohmae, and the shortstop Chris.
The three outfielders are Jun Yoon, Carl Ross, and Manaka.
Seeing the opponent's starting lineup, Li Lei's head was big.
On their side.
No. 1 ace pitcher Li Lei, No. 2 catcher Li Ning.
First baseman, Chen Yongkang.
Second baseman, Poplar.
Third baseman, Wang Shuaishuai.
Shortstop, Luo Jun.
Three outfielders, Zhang Jie, Liang Feifei, Ma Liang.
