Situation

After the game at Akagi Middle School, he did not leave, but all stayed to watch the game at Tenryuji.

The match at Tenryuji went very fast, but it was over in about fifty minutes.

7:0!

Tenryuji crushed the opponent.

There is no suspense in the process, nor is it exciting. It doesn't seem that Tenryuji is strong, it's just that their opponents are too weak.

"You didn't use all your strength?"

Ren frowned and looked at Nanami.

Not to mention the whole of Tenryuji, only Nanami Haruna's pitching, as a former partner, Ren can clearly feel that he has kept his hand. Although he pitched a total of only three innings!

Tenryuji consciously retains its strength, why is this?

Sawamura was very puzzled, and then when he looked up and looked around, a strange thought suddenly popped up.

It's weird, will there be more cameras in the media?

The two semi-finals in Nagano Prefecture are undoubtedly the competition between Akagi Middle School and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, and the attention is higher.

Even though Tenryuji's momentum is the strongest in Nagano Prefecture, there is no way to change this.

After all, there is almost no suspense in this semi-final of Tenryuji. Compared with Tenryuji, their opponents are not on the same level at all.

The audience's eyes are not blind. Except for the die-hard supporters of Tenryuji, other fans are probably not interested in watching Tenryuji's abuse of vegetables.

The number of fans at the scene also confirms this. When Akagi Middle School just competed, there were at least six or seven thousand spectators at the scene. And now the audience has been reduced by at least half.

The number of fans was reduced by half, but there were several more cameras at the scene. The kind of small DV that I bring myself is not counted. There are eight high-definition cameras that are enough for the model.

This is so weird!

You must know that the competition in middle school is incomparable to that in high school. In high school, the regional semifinals were broadcast live on regional TV stations, and the entire video could even be downloaded online. Under such propaganda, it is understandable that there are five or six or even seven or eight pieces of high-definition photography equipment.

The middle school is different. The semi-finals and finals of middle schools are not broadcast live. At most, it is to play some clips on TV and announce the ranking. It's also hard to find the full video of the game online.

In the semi-finals of Nagano Prefecture, very few units will bring such professional cameras. As far as Sawamura himself knows, apart from the TV stations in Nagano, there are probably only two that will carry them. One is "Baseball Boy", and the other is Nagano's online self-media.

If the three companies add up, only three sets of equipment are enough. At most, Tenryuji's own people can take pictures. (Some well-capitalized teams also record videos of their own games.)

There are four in total! What happened to the remaining four?

"Is it an investigation?"

Almost instantly, Sawamura thought of the answer. After all, he has been in the baseball circle for more than ten years, and he has heard of some things even if he has not seen them. Not to mention that in his previous life, he had seen this kind of investigation many times. When he was in his third year of high school, when he participated in the West Tokyo Competition, there were more than a dozen high schools, carrying long guns and short cannons, coming from all over the country to investigate.

Sawamura originally thought that only high school, the alternate school of Koshien, would face such an opponent. I didn't expect that people in ordinary middle schools and softball league games would do this.

Haruna Nanami, a second-year student, almost single-handedly took Tenryuji to the top four in the country last year. A small team in a non-fighting area, achieving such a result, naturally made Nanami and Tenryuji famous. Even compared with last year's national champion, Tenryuji is not weak in terms of fame.

After a competition is held, apart from their champions, it is naturally the most powerful dark horse team that receives the most attention. And last year Tenryuji Middle School played this role.

Haruna Nanami, who led Tenyruji back then, rose from the second grade to the third grade and has also become a strong candidate for this year's national championship. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Tenryuji faced such an investigation.

"No wonder the old fox's personality chose to preserve his strength!"

Sawamura Eijun nodded secretly, already thinking about everything. It seems that tomorrow, in the final between Tianlong Temple and Akagi Middle School, there will be more opponents to investigate.

They wouldn't even let go of the semi-finals of Tenryuji, and naturally, they would not let go of the finals between Tenryuji and his Akagi Middle School.

This result gave Sawamura a headache.

Entering the Kanto Conference, Akagi Middle School's chances of being promoted to the whole country are much higher than those of Nagano Metropolitan and Okita Middle School. Under the leadership of Sawamura, Akagi Middle School surpassed the two schools on the one hand. Another very important aspect is that Akagi Middle School is a dark horse team, and other schools know nothing about Akagi.

The dark horse team, in the competition, undoubtedly takes a lot more advantage than those teams whose strengths are exposed.

This is like a known enemy and an unknown enemy. Even if the strength of the two enemies is similar, the unknown enemy is far more threatening than the known enemy.

If there were not so many investigations, Sawamura would definitely want to have a fight with Tenryuji full 8 innings.

A serious game, on the one hand, can increase the competition experience of Akagi Middle School, and on the other hand, if it wins, it can also make Akagi Middle School face a more favourable situation in the subsequent Kanto Conference.

To participate in the Kanto Region is a region that sends two teams, so naturally, there will be a champion group and a second-place group. To be fair, two teams from the same county will not be arranged together before the semifinals. Under the premise of following this rule, the opponent in the first round of the championship group is generally the second place in other counties.

In order to compete for this favourable situation, Akagi Middle School also has the meaning of fighting with Tenryuji.

Of course, these is just Sawamura's previous thoughts, and now Sawamura's thoughts have changed a bit. What changed Sawamura was the people who came to investigate Tenryuji, and what were their identities.

Sawamura is almost certain that these people should not be opponents of Tenryuji Middle School in the whole country. If it is an opponent in the whole country, if you want to know the strength of Tenryuji Middle School, you don't need to be so troublesome. The Kanto Conference will be broadcast live on TV and online. If they want to know the strength of Tenryuji, it is very simple. They just need to organize the video of Tenryuji Middle School in the Kanto Conference. The information there is far more detailed than what they photographed and investigated by themselves.

Since it is not an opponent of the whole country, it must be an opponent of the Kanto Conference.

In the Kanto Conference, Tenryuji Middle School was regarded as their team to advance to the national obstacle. Only these teams have reason to target Tenryuji Middle School. The most terrifying point is that these people raked grass and beat rabbits, and they may have taken Akagi Middle School along with them.

You must know that these teams that regard Tenryuji Middle School as their opponents are also obstacles for Akagi to advance to the whole country. Premature exposure to strength is also detrimental to the Akagi Middle School baseball team.

After exposing their strength, they can no longer play the role of dark horses.

Sawamura smiled wryly.

It's better to be a player who doesn't think about anything and listens to orders. If you think about the problem from the perspective of the coach, you will be too tired!
