Akagi Middle School, playground.
Today's playground has been divided into two. Sawamura used the 20,000 yen specially approved by Principal Takata to buy nets and poles, and encircled half of the entire playground to form a special baseball field.
Naturally, this baseball field cannot be compared with a professional field. But it had already surpassed the simple court that Sawamura used at Akagi Middle School in his previous life.
Just like this stadium, the Akagi Middle School baseball team also embarked on a path completely different from its previous life.
At the end of the day's training, dozens of spectators who felt fresh also dispersed.
All that was left on the field were the eleven buddies of the baseball team.
"Our opponent for the next match has already come out."
Sawamura took the information Masayoshi Renya gave him and said to his little friend.
"Who is it?"
Nobu asked excitedly.
As soon as he said the words, he felt ten pairs of eyes around him, looking at him like an idiot.
Nobu bowed his head embarrassedly, no matter how slow he was, he knew that he must have asked a very stupid question.
Do you still need to ask?
Although I don't know the results of the competition between Tenryuji and Nitta Middle School, the winner must be the other of the three kings.
In the past two years, the overlord of Nagano Prefecture, Tenryuji Middle School.
"The total score was 11:2, and Nitta Middle School was almost a bloodbath."
Sawamura ignored the embarrassment on Nobu's face and continued.
"I remember Nitta Middle School, and it seems to be very strong. I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable yesterday."
Oda frowned.
Nitta Middle School is a famous strong school in Nagano, and it is also a frequent visitor to the top four. To be able to achieve such results in the double-team of the three kings, the strength of Nitta Middle School is evident.
"The results show everything, Nitta Middle School is not strong enough."
Aoi Ren said coldly: "Or to put it another way, Tenryuji Temple is worthy of being the overlord of Nagano Prefecture."
The two watched the match between Tenryuji Temple and Nitta Middle School yesterday. They had the most say in the strength of Tenryuji Temple Middle School.
As far as the two of them feel, it's not that Tenryuji Temple is unmatched, but that their opponent, Nitta Middle School, is too weak.
"How's everyone doing today?"
Originally, he was talking about the competition, but Sawamura suddenly changed the topic, which made the friends a little uncomfortable.
However, when it comes to how they feel today, they are still very touched. But really let them say, but they don't know what to say?
Sawamura smiled and asked directly, "Are you happy?"
"What's good or not?"
Aotsuki Wakana's pretty face was slightly red, and she looked at Sawamura in embarrassment.
uh~
This is embarrassing.
Although girls generally mature earlier than boys of the same age, you, a twelve-year-old girl, mature too early, right?
"It's okay, watch fewer movies than two or three people can finish."
Sawamura reprimanded Aotsuki Wakana.
Wakana didn't understand it at first, but after thinking for a while, she finally understood.
"You die for my mother!"
Wakana, who wanted to understand, picked up the bat and chased after Sawamura.
"Woman, forgive me."
Sawamura was chased and ran away.
Hey, some jokes, even if they are childhood sweethearts, are not allowed.
"What happened to them?"
Yamazaki asked curiously.
A few friends around looked at each other.
In the end, Yamaguchi folded his palms in the style of a master and said solemnly, "The Buddha said, don't say it!"
"What's the meaning?"
"It's just a brat, don't ask me if it's okay."
After laughing, everyone sat together again.
"Do you want to be cooler?"
As soon as Sawamura opened his mouth, he saw Wakana staring at him fiercely.
He subconsciously swallowed.
Who would have known that a twelve-year-old girl has already started to come into contact with restricted movies?
In the past, Sawamura was not brought to contact with these things by those seniors until the professional team.
"Think!"
Whether you understand it or not, everyone knows what Sawamura really wants to ask.
Being noticed by others, being envied by others, and victory itself.
What Sawamura wanted to ask was, is this feeling good?
Although some can't open their mouths to say it directly, these little friends from Akagi Middle School still feel very cool.
At this time, Sawamura asked directly, do you want to be cooler?
The answer is almost yes.
Of course, they would.
"It's still only the top four in Nagano Prefecture. As long as we win one more game, we can go to the Kanto Conference? Think about it, this feeling..."
Sawamura didn't go on, but the friends couldn't help but follow his words and start making associations.
Participate in the Kanto Conference and even the national competition.
Oh, just thinking about it makes people intoxicated.
At that time, the happy eyes of family members, the jealous eyes of classmates, and the love letters of fans!
Cool, so cool.
If it was said that before winning the Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, even if Sawamura said this, everyone would not think too much.
As far as the virtues of Akagi Middle School are concerned, he is still thinking of participating in the national competition. He is just a toad who wants to eat swan meat and daydreams.
Not only outsiders but also the little friends of the Akagi Middle School baseball team didn't dare to be wishful thinking.
But it is different now since they have broken a record that no one has broken in the past 20 years. If you overturn a king, there will be care about overturning the other one.
The ignorant are fearless!
This sentence is never a clear derogatory term.
At least for the current Akagi Middle School baseball team, this is a good thing.
"Of course, the opponents are very strong. It's not easy for us to beat them. So, we have to prepare a new defensive formation."
Last week, the focus of practice was to catch fly balls. This week, Akagi's practice focus has become defensive bunts.
After watching the match between Akagi and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, Sawamura thought to himself, if he were the coach of Tenryuji Middle School, he would definitely use the tactics of bunt push and base stealing.
Akagi Middle School's defence in the last game looked pretty good. There are no big mistakes.
But that's just an appearance. In fact, the loopholes in the defence of Akagi Middle School are astonishing.
Aside from some experience in picking up fly balls, Akagi Middle School is basically the same as having no defence when it comes to the defence of other balls.
In the face of such a defence, swinging a big stick is simply a waste.
All they have to do is get real hits, push bunts, and steal bases . . .
Then you can wait for the players from Akagi Middle School to make mistakes!
In a real stalemate game, a single mistake could ruin the victory. And how many mistakes could Akagi's defence make?
Rome wasn't built in a day, and the defence of Akagi naturally couldn't grow up in a week.
Sawamura, who is the actual team leader, knows this most clearly.
For this reason, he specially studied a set of tactics, just to deal with Tenryuji Middle School.
Time flies fast, and in a blink of an eye, it's time for the start of the semi-finals.
In the first game of the semi-finals, Okita Middle School easily defeated its opponent and took the lead in winning a place in the Kanto Conference.
In the second game, Akagi Middle School will play Tenryuji Middle School, and it will officially start at 2 pm!
