Chapter 222: The End of the Final and the Award Ceremony

The two overseers of Qingdao and the three major cities have a very clear understanding of the outcome of today's game.

Although Yusuke Murahashi's pitching level was the highest among the three pitchers in the city, due to physical problems, he finished the pitch in the previous semi-finals (in this game, the three cities defeated a strong school in West Tokyo 10-2), and only threw less than five innings in today's finals, and the physical problems were undoubtedly apparent, and then he was transferred to the outfield by Tahara supervision.

The other two third-year pitchers, Nobuyuki Hisamatsu and Kazuki Mori, and second-year pitchers Kazuma Murakami, although their strength is not bad, it is a little difficult to deal with them with their strength when facing strong schools, and if the opponent is a baseball powerhouse such as Inagi Industry or Teto, it will be even more insufficient.

As a result, this also leads to the fact that only Yusuke Murahashi and Manaka want the two of the city's three main battle pitchers, and once the two of them have problems and cannot continue, the possibility of losing the game will greatly increase.

In a sense, Ichisan-Michi and Aodo are lacking in good pitchers in the third-year class, and Yusuke Murahashi is unable to fight on the field for a long time due to physical problems, and must have enough pitchers to substitute; Jingu Teraichi before the baptism of today's game, with his strength, if he was an ace in an ordinary strong school, it would definitely be more than enough, but the problem is that it is not enough to see a baseball powerhouse like Qingdao.

After all, the problem of the three major players in the city can only be solved after the first-year pitcher Tianjiu Guangsheng grows up.

For Superintendent Kataoka, what moved him more than today's victory was the transformation and growth of Jinguji, who was hit 10 times, 7 bad balls, 12 strikeouts, 4 points conceded, and 202 balls (including the balls); If Jinguji could have such strength before this, he probably wouldn't have made Yagami the team's trump card so soon.

In contrast, Yagami had 14 hits in the previous semi-finals, 3 bad shots, 4 strikeouts, 4 points conceded, and 139 balls after nine shots (including the ball).

The reason why Yagami Ye is such a statistic is due to the fact that his ideas or goals during the game are different from Jingu Teriichi, Yagami's idea is to try to retain his physical strength, so as not to consume too much in the semi-finals and be unable to do so in the later finals, and there is no way to play his strength well. Under the influence of such thoughts, Yagami Ye chose to solve the attacking hitters one by one by cooperating with the catcher Chris, as well as the inner and outer fielders behind him. As a result, the number of strikeouts will naturally be low.

On the other hand, after the baptism of the first few rounds of today's game, Jingu Teraichi will give priority to knocking out the hitter even if he will give priority to the hitter on base because of this, which is why the four bad ball escort will reach 7 times. After that, Jingujiichi began to burn his arms to reach an astonishing 202 balls in order to be able to finish the game, and in the case of one less round, Yagami Yagami didn't even have 140 balls, which is 63 balls less.

The reason why Superintendent Kataoka replaced Jinguji after the first half of the 10th game was not only to stabilize in the later games, but also to prevent Jinguji's arm from burning out. Based on today's performance, Jinguji will definitely have a professional team name him in the professional baseball draft in late October, which is what makes Kataoka excited because his baseball career is brightening up as a result.

……

While the Qingdao players were cheering and celebrating, some of the three major players in the city who lost the game supported each other and walked towards home plate while wailing and crying; There are also players who fall directly to the ground, hide their faces in their caps and cry bitterly; There were also players who squatted directly on the ground and wept silently, until his teammates who came from the rest area pulled him up and helped him up, and walked towards home plate while wiping away tears.

"Ceremony!"

Seido and the three city players each stood on the side of the sand at home plate, took off their hats with the referees, and then bent down and bowed.

"Since you won us, you have to keep winning." Shuhei Chinaga said to Dong Qingguo, who is also the captain of the team.

"Definitely!" Dong Qingguo nodded vigorously in response.

"You didn't have the ball well from the start today, was it too much psychological pressure?" Yusuke Murahashi asked Jinguji as he shook hands.

“…… Well! Jinguji thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Rest well and don't think so much." Yusuke Murahashi paused for a moment, and then continued: "For the sake of my future baseball career, I can't burn my arms like today. ”

"Thank you." Jingujiichi gladly accepted the other party's kindness.

After shaking hands with each other, the contestants from both sides dispersed to greet the audience they wanted to thank.

On the Qingdao side, Yagami and the others bowed to the cheers of the spectators on the field, thanking them for their support, and then walked towards the rest area on the third base side, while not forgetting to turn around and wave to the spectators who supported them; The situation on the three sides of the city is completely different from the Qingdao side, after the three cities bowed and thanked, many people knelt directly on the ground and began to cry bitterly, of course, there are also players who squatted on the ground and cried silently, and even the cheerleaders and support groups in the stands, many people began to cry silently under their infection.

When the three players in the city helped each other to leave and walked back to the rest area on the side of the third base, reporters continued to pour in to take pictures of them.

Before the award ceremony, a reporter from a TV station came to interview the captain of Tokiyokoku, and also conducted a special interview with Superintendent Kataoka.

"Excuse me, after five years, you have once again won the qualifier for the National High School Wild Ball Player Rights Conference, how are you feeling now?" The female reporter of the TV station shoved the microphone in front of Superintendent Kataoka's mouth.

"I'm excited and excited right now. There are a lot of strong teams in this division of Nishitokyo, for example, our opponent today is a junior who is very strong, and it is not easy to win all the way, it is the hard work and perseverance of the players to get the final victory, I am very grateful to them. ”

After Superintendent Kataoka finished the reporter's question with a smile on his face, he ended the interview with the TV reporter.

Shortly after the TV interview, the award ceremony began: the three players of the city lined up outside the rest area on the first base side, and the Qingdao players lined up outside the rest area on the third base side, and then the two teams of players walked from the rest area to the first or third base with the music that began the award ceremony.

Wait until the lead player reaches first or third base, turn around and stride towards second base, and then stop on either side of the second base bag, and the two teams of players form a straight line at the interval of the base bag.
