The old fox's calculation

For the sake of this final, Akagi's friends had a long discussion until nine o'clock in the evening before they came up with more detailed countermeasures.

The next day, the friends gathered excitedly and went to Matsumoto Stadium to participate in the final.

Although he had already made up his mind, he gave the victory of this game to Tenryuji Middle School. But when it comes to acting, you always have to act like it, not only to show that Akagi has enough strength, but also to show that Akagi does not pose too much threat to the uncles of other counties.

This degree must be well-adjusted.

Otherwise, Akagi Middle School wouldn't be able to spend so much effort just discussing how to concede victory to the opponent. For the rest of the time, almost all Sawamura, Sano and Wada do ideological work for their friends.

It is much more difficult for a group of teenagers who are eager for victory and honour to know how to choose. Fortunately, Sawamura's prestige is enough, and Teacher Wada's eloquence is also good. This calmed the little guys and fooled them into how they would not be affected when they played tomorrow.

In fact, it was Sawamura who really mastered this degree. As long as he let go, it would be a matter of time before Akagi lost points.

It's just a pity that Sawamura can't do this kind of thing. As long as he stands on the pitching mound, he will definitely go all out in pursuit of victory. In order to ensure that there are no accidents, Akagi's arrangement for this game is to let the first-year backup pitcher Komaki take the lead, and then Sawamura will serve as the outfielder!

Don't look at the simple position swap, Akagi's overall strength has dropped by more than half. Not to mention the attack, in terms of defence alone, Sawamura as the pitcher and Komaki as the pitcher are two completely different teams.

After finally playing against the national-level Tenryuji, the Akagi Middle School baseball team is ready to train with Tenryuji and Nanami Haruna based on the principle of not wasting.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the tens of thousands of seats at the Matsumoto Stadium were full.

Outside the stadium, several unidentified tourists questioned the people around them.

"Is it a high school or college game today? Why is it so lively? Isn't Matsumoto Stadium supposed to accommodate tens of thousands of people?"

The stadium with tens of thousands of people is full of people.

This kind of movement naturally makes people puzzled, and it is reasonable to have such a guess.

"That's not it, this is a competition for middle school students."

"A competition for middle school students?"

The tourists are stunned. Even in the fierce battle zone, the competition of middle school students is not so popular, right?

The local tour guide in Nagano Prefecture smiled complacently: "This is a matter of course. The confrontation between the old and the new kings naturally attracts attention."

The old king, Tenryuji, and the former first pitcher, Haruna Nanami. A newly promoted nobleman Akagi, and the current No. 1 pitcher Sawamura Eijun. The fierce collision of the two rising stars is naturally exciting.

It's just a pity that these fans and spectators will inevitably be disappointed.

Akagi is okay, the starting lineup they announced is not much different from the previous one. At most, Sawamura moved from the pitcher position to the outfielder position.

And Komaki replaced Sawamura as the team's pitcher.

But Tenryuji was different. Sawamura almost vomited blood when he saw Tenryuji's starting list.

Pitcher, catcher, infielder, outfielder, not a half-familiar figure. Substitute, Substitute, Substitute!!!

Sawamura frowned and looked at the cowshed of Tenryuji Middle School.

The old man Hiromitsu Yamano nodded at Sawamura very kindly and said hello.

"What does it mean?"

Wada looked puzzled at the direction of Tenryuji Middle School and asked strangely.

In the Wenchen Cup just finished at Tenryuji, he performed very well. They seem to have no reason to hide their strength, right? What's the point of hiding it? The national competition of the Wenchen Cup, but the whole process is videotaped.

It is not easy to study them.

Sawamura's face was very ugly, even angry: "This old fox!"

Wada and Sano looked at Sawamura for unknown reasons. They also knew that in baseball, there was no way to compare their abilities with Sawamura's. Sawamura probably already knew the plan of the old fox Yamano Hiromitsu!

"It's not other counties that he's watching out for, it's us."

Sawamura's voice was very cold: "The champion of Nagano is worth a little to us, but to Tenryuji, it is nothing. I originally thought that as the super king of Nagano Prefecture, they would never give up the prefectural competition. The champion is right. Then you know, I really overestimated the face of the old man Yamano. They have no self-consciousness of the king at all. Facing us who are likely to fight at the Kanto Conference or even the whole country, they did not hesitate to choose to give in. But Don't think that this is a good thing, Tenryuji is just waiting for the opportunity to step on us, so that we can't turn over."

In the county competition, even if Tenryuji defeated Akagi, it would not have any substantial impact on Akagi. Tenryuji may still encounter Akagi in the subsequent Kanto Conference and even the national competition. As the mortal enemy of the same county, if you can step on Akagi under your feet and let Akagi never turn over, Tenryuji will of course not be soft.

In fact, from last fall, the front of Akagi Middle School was hard steel Nagano Metropolitan Middle School. Although it was lost in the end. However, the strength of Akagi Middle School can still compete with Nagano Metropolis without losing the slightest.

Since then, Tenryuji has regarded Akagi as the most threatening opponent. It was also from then on that old man Yamano began to develop tactics against Akagi.

The tactics they finally thought of, naturally, they wouldn't want to waste it on this irrelevant and equally painful final. In particular, they didn't want to be exposed to Akagi prematurely. They also hoped to use this tactic to step on Akagi and make Akagi never turn over.

Of course, the old fox's calculations were not just that. Don't look at the substitutes sent by others, but Tenryuji is strong here. Even if they all come off the bench, it will not be easy for Akagi to win.

Apart from Sawamura and Ren, the main force of Akagi Middle School is actually at a disadvantage compared to the substitutes of Tenryuji.

Tenryuji Middle School is a traditionally strong team, and their substitutes are also selected from dozens of members. And most of these people have been in contact with baseball since childhood.

Their strength is much stronger than that of Akagi's partners.

If Sawamura was a pitcher, he could almost crush them. But if Sawamura doesn't take action, Akagi may not be able to eat the pie delivered to the door.

Looking up, Sawamura's face became even ugly from the dozens of cameras around him.

The old fox not only dragged the Tenryuji out of the quagmire but also pitted Akagi.

At this time, Akagi was in a dilemma.

"Cut, the original plan remains the same. I'd like to see what kind of moths Tenryuji can make."

Sawamura's face turned cold.

Since Tenryuji doesn't want this champion, he wants it. And he not only wants this championship but also lets the old fox's plan fail.
