Chapter 79: Press Conference?

Seidou High School's victory over Seihou High School had a much bigger impact than everyone thought.

It is said that the ratings of the live broadcast of the game have also set a new high for the TV station!

After the game, as usual, the school anthem of Seidou High School was played on the field of Koshien.

The players of Seidou High School stood in a row and sang along.

Well, except for the Furuya-kun, everyone else can still sing along. Even Sawamura, although he sang more loudly and didn't sing very well, he still sang along with it completely.

All the fans in the stands who supported Seidou High School stood up and applauded and sent their cheers and blessings to Seidou, hoping they could go further.

Seidou High School's exclusive cheerleading team completely ignored the high temperature in summer right now.

Also, Coach Kataoka was also notified by the Tournament organizers.

"Let Seidou High School be interviewed by the media in the evening."

Coach Kataoka rejected this matter in his heart.

Before his proud students won the National Championship, Coach Kataoka didn't want them to accept too much external harassment.

But there was no other way. Under the pressure of the organizers, and of course, the school management, Coach Kataoka could only agree.

"How many people are needed?"

In an exclusive interview with the media, all the players of the Seidou must be present. But they didn't all have to be interviewed.

There are probably only a few people who will actually be asked questions at the scene.

He doesn't know if the organizers have any players they are asking for.

Even if Coach Kataoka doesn't like these things right now, he knows that this is an opportunity for the players to make a name for themselves.

In addition to their achievements, the players have a good media image and a good publicity platform, which will also give them more chances and a bright future.

Whether it is a college draft or a professional baseball draft, players who can make a name for themselves in Koshien will have an honor bonus.

"Sawamura, Yuuki, Takigawa, Miyuki, Kominato, these five players will be asked more questions, and other players may also be asked."

The organizers gave the list directly.

This is also a matter of course. If the media wants to interview who, if even the organizers don't know, then they will be in vain.

"OK!"

Kataoka agreed with a hesitant expression.

"Koshien should be like this, the more famous you are, the better it goes!" Coach Ochiai couldn't understand why Coach Kataoka was unwilling for the players to be interviewed.

In his opinion, other than the achievement, what is the use of Koshien if not this?

The higher the fame of the players on Koshien, the better for their future, right?

Or will they wait until the day when Seidou High School fails, and then try to make up for it?

The topicality will pass, and it will be counterproductive.

Speaking of topicality, there are still many good stories that can be unearthed from the Seidou High School team.

The best story is of course the bad harvest year in the third grade. They can be regarded as a typical example of perseverance and hard work. Such a story full of positive energy is very much in line with the values ​​of most people. Although it's been reported before, there's still plenty of room to explore.

After all, the players in the entire third grade who were called bad years were not one or two, but a whole grade.

Now most of the main force of Seidou High School is precisely this group of people.

In addition to the story of the bad harvest year, the story of the Maou is equally fascinating. Although the media have reported this story many times when Seidou High School just entered Koshien, it still has its charm.

The first-year Kohai entered a Famous High School and served as the main Ace of the team, leading the team to enter the Koshien and be at the forefront of the Return of the King.

It is too heroic in line with the plot of the Manga, and there are rumors that some Animation production companies want to find Akagi Middle School to get the copyright of the story.

There are also some senior reporters (AKA. Fujio Mine), who interviewed other former members of the Akagi Middle School baseball team in the previous days.

These interviews have never had the opportunity to be released.

Now Seidou High School has defeated Seihou High School and has become the most likely candidate for this year's Koshien Championship.

Sawamura Eijun, the champion candidate, had just three hits at Seihou High School.

Is there a better time than this time?

Akagi Middle School, which was originally famous, may take advantage of Sawamura's wind to become popular again.

Not only Sawamura and the third-year players, but even the two outstanding players in the second year, when they appeared, were also full of stories.

Miyuki was also robbed of the position of the main catcher by Chris, and the road to high school baseball can be regarded as bumpy, But his own level is excellent, and on the days when he is with the catcher mask, his performance is also remarkable.

Plus he was originally called the savior of Seidou High School.

These are all topics, all stories, they can all be talked about, they can be used to gain attention, and they can all be used to make money…

Kuramochi's story is naturally the same.

The wild boy was spotted by a Famous High School and participated in the competition wearing the jersey of Seidou High School, fighting all the way to the Koshien, to complete his childhood dream.

Isn't this what the Legendary Anime Slam Dunk is all about!

As long as you dig it and polish it a little, this is also a very exciting story.

It is conceivable that after the media interview, Seidou High School will definitely become popular.

This will also have a big impact on their next draw, research on opponents, and games.

After all, Koshien is only two weeks in total, and the average interval between each game is only two days.

In the next two days, it will be difficult for the players of Seidou High School to calm down and study their opponents.

Coach Kataoka's concerns are not without reason.

But the thoughts of ​​coach Ochiai cannot be said to be wrong.

The opponents of Koshien, especially after the quarter-finals, are really a step-by-step. No one dared to pat their chests and say that they would definitely make it to the end.

So it is better to take advantage of the wind to accept interviews and increase exposure. Or when the wind calms down, it will be too late.

Whether it's from the school's perspective, or from the perspective of the player's personal development. Interviewing is ideal when you can.

It's not that Coach Kataoka doesn't know this, but he has a repulsion in his heart. He always believed that this session of Seidou High School would definitely be able to fulfill his dream and achieve the Championship.

Of course, reason told him that it was the best time to be interviewed right now.

Coupled with the pressure from the organizers and the school, Coach Kataoka finally gave in.

Decided to cooperate with the organizers to hold a press conference for Seidou High School.

Of course, this will be after all Koshien games are over today.

The press conference was also broadcast live. Although the interviewees were mainly Seidou High School, it did not mean that other schools did not have any shares.
