Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 214 Opening

After Tanbo was injured, the pressure within the team suddenly skyrocketed, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing, making people breathless.

Especially that night, Tanba-senpai stayed in the hospital for examination and did not come back.

Even the most diligent seniors have no intention of practicing.

Instead, Sendō went out that night with a bat.

When everyone is depressed, one person is doing a mental simulation while swinging the bat alone.

No one could have imagined that when everyone else in the first grade didn't have much real sense, it would be this usually lazy Immortal who was the first to burst out with a fighting spirit that didn't want to lose.

the next day,

The sky was unusually gloomy, which made the already heavy heart even heavier, and today was also the drawing ceremony.

"Are you still thinking about Tanba-senpai?"

During the break, Fumino took the initiative to talk to Sendou who was looking out the window alone.

"Akila is so gentle! On the surface, she doesn't care about anything, but she is extremely sad inside!"

"Maybe! Do I look that depressed? To the point where I need comfort."

Fumino shook his head.

"If she gets depressed so easily, she wouldn't be the Akila I know!

You are so calm at all times. At this time, I think you already know what you can do and what you can only believe! "

"However, I still hope you can speak out when you are sad. There is no conflict between staying calm and not being sad!

I don't want to see you sad! "Said Fumino, who was a bit naturally stupid, and hugged Sendao's arm.

"Really, how can you see that I'm sad?" Xiandao put his hand on his head helplessly and out of habit.

"No! But I can feel it."

"Suddenly I really want to swing the bat!"

The conversation between the two people as if no one else was watching made the group behind them envious.

But at this time, no one will bother them.

When school was over, it was already raining heavily outside. The baseball club entered the indoor practice field, while Fumino and other managers went back directly.

"Wow! So many schools are participating!" Sawamura exclaimed as he looked at the competition list that had come down.

"Tokyo has already been divided into two war zones: east and west.

There are also fierce battle zones across the country with higher competition rates! "Xiaochun next to me explained.

And perhaps even more devilish than Tokyo is Osaka.

However, this is just because Sawamura's generation is not yet famous. In the next few years, West Tokyo will be the most devilish place, with four teams at the Koshien semi-finals and above competing for a spot.

"There are five games before the finals!" Fang Gu also pointed to the match table and said.

The only ones who are really energetic are the first and second graders, while the third graders are still so depressed.

Xiandao also held one in his hand. To be honest, he had completely forgotten the battles in his previous life. He only knew that there were only a few stronger opponents.

They all look the same, but among the first few, except for Misimmen, which was the first battle, the other nameless schools cannot even bring up any memories just by looking at their names.

Of course, Qingdao is the seeded team, so the first match will be in the second round. That is, the winners of the two metropolitan schools, Mimensi and Dubaihu, will face Qingdao.

If you don't look at the match list, Xiandao may not know who his opponent is, but after looking at the match list, you will know that his opponent is Mimensi.

……

When Coach Kataoka gathered, he talked about Tanba's injury and mentioned Kawakami, Furitani and Sawamura by name. They were needed to contribute to the team at special times.

As a Chinese teacher, a few words can make everyone unite.

The double-shooting was completely handed over to Chris, and due to this unexpected situation, the training method of the double-shooting could only be changed, and intensive training focusing on fielding and ball control was carried out so that they could be used in official games.

Xiandao made a hundred extra swings every day. Don't underestimate this number. This time he really wasn't lazy.

Every time he swings the bat, he uses his powerful brain function to simulate the pitch in his mind, and then swings the bat to hit it, so that it has a practical effect.

It's just that not everyone can simulate the trajectory of the ball in their head. In the original book, only Hong Leishi and Team Zhe practiced this way.

The life of immortals is very simple, but some people are miserable because the final exam is approaching.

Xian Dao was also taken out of her dreamland by Fumino to give her tutoring lessons.

And Sawamura, who also slept for a semester, looked at the textbook as if it were a bible, and couldn't even understand the simplest basic concepts. After all, his attributes were still limited to elementary school scores...

The tutoring in junior high school only caused trouble for him. In fact, there was no learning crisis. Qingdao High School was also a preparatory school. If he failed, he would have to make up the exam. There were more subjects in the make-up exam and less time for practice.

The only good thing is that the passing score in Japan has always been the class average divided by two.

The advantage of this is that with different difficulty levels of the test papers, you can know whether the students really learned well or poorly, instead of a fixed passing score that even top students will fail if the questions are particularly difficult.

Kanemaru's mother promised to help Sawamura with tutoring, but what he didn't know was what kind of big trap she was getting into.

Jiang Gu was in dire straits. He was not good at socializing and he didn't even have anyone to save his life.

This is also where the Japanese have trouble and can be said to be well-educated.

They rarely take the initiative to help others when they don't ask for help, because they are afraid of hurting the other person's self-esteem, unless they know the other person very well and know that the other person needs help, but cannot ask for some reason.

So it wasn't that Xiaochun didn't want to help or wasn't able to help, but that Jiang Gu didn't ask, so others wouldn't ask to help, for fear of hurting Jiang Gu's self-esteem, they wouldn't even ask.

So Feng Gu escaped from reality...

Xiandao was also troubled by the recent troubles and had no time to deal with them.

To be honest, Japanese high school courses are quite difficult, and there are even calculus-level questions that only domestic universities are exposed to.

Of course, there are not many parts involved in the first year of high school.

Recently Tetsuo and Jun-san were sent to the indoor practice field to pitch a ball, so Sendō heard what Miyauchi-senpai said but didn't see him.

In addition to basic exercises such as attacking and defending, the amount of recent exercises has been greatly reduced. The purpose is naturally to help the team's players recover from the fatigue of the training camp while training.

Sawamura and Furitani have also made great progress recently.

Of course, Xiandao himself has made great progress, but he often cannot see himself clearly.

I feel that after I am no longer tired from the training camp, I feel more relaxed every day while training before the training camp.

This is characteristic of a substantial improvement in physical strength.

And as a starter, the brass band has also collected support songs that everyone in the army wants to practice in the past few days.

The Qingdao that Sendao wanted most was taken by someone, so he chose a more classic song. But what he didn't know was that the song he chose was the same as Harada Masako's.

From time to time, the wind band can be heard practicing in the stadium. Every time he hears the music he has chosen, Xiandao feels that he is stronger because of his excitement.

Moreover, the clothes of Qingdao's cheerleaders were very beautiful. I couldn't help but look at them several times, and then I was stared at by Fumino, which made me feel embarrassed.

The final exam is also over. Fumino scored more than 80 points in the math test, which is a very high score. This also makes Sendao's guidance for so many years not in vain.

With the help of Kanamaru's mother, Sawamura barely passed the test with over 30 points. As Sawamura said, he had perfect red spot avoidance.

Sawamura even cried when he saw the highest score of 40 points.

Just like junior high school, Sendō occupied the first position. Anyway, the jaws of the entire Class A, the baseball club members and all the first-year teachers were shocked.

Although they had seen this scene more than once.

I slept all the time in class and failed all the exams...

And all this means that summer is coming.

On the day the exam is announced, Xia Tian's back number will also be announced.

"Now we will start assigning back numbers. Those whose names are called will come and collect them in order!"

"First of all, the number one, Koichiro Tanba!"

Tanba-senpai was so shocked that he didn't move until the coach called him to go over to receive it.

"Don't be anxious, just take care of your injuries."

When Tanba-senpai returned home, other seniors teased him about his bald head. No one expected that he actually took the joke seriously and shaved off his head. Then Tanba-senpai’s head was brutally attacked, and even Team Zhe naturally sneaked in and touched it for a while.

"Go ahead and publish!" Seeing that everyone was almost finished talking, Coach Kataoka interrupted.

"No. 2! Miyuki Kazuya!"

"Hi!"

"No. 3! Tetsuya Yuki!"

"Hi! Please obey!"

……

"Number 7! Isashiki Jun!"

"Yo Xi!!!"

"Number 8! Sendō Akira!"

"exist!"

"Number 9! Hakushu Kenjiro!"

"I'll do my best!"

Hakushu's answer was a bit cute. In any case, he defeated Itai-senpai and got the last number, while Itai could only get the number thirteen.

Jiang Gu was still given a tutorial by the coach.

……

"The recorder is Chris, please!"

"Hi!" Senior Chris's expression was still so warm.

Finally, I would like to thank the managers for their continuous efforts.

The ceremony of releasing the nickname of Qingdao High School was also the swearing-in ceremony before the war.

After Coach Kataoka’s last words, “Everything is for this summer,” everyone’s blood boiled.

Coach Kataoka seems not satisfied yet.

"Yo Xi! Just do it like before!"

"Hi!" Team Zhe responded and began to form a circle.

"Are you going to say that Chuuniu line again? Really." Xiandao complained in his heart. (Said as if you were shouting along.)

"Tanba, don't use too much force!" Chunsang was still the careful person.

"And Xiandao, please speak louder!"

"...!"

"who are we?!"

"The King of Qingdao!!!"

“Who sweats the most?!”

"Qingdao!!!"

"Who shed the most tears?!"

"Qingdao!!!"

"Are you ready to fight?!"

"Oh!!!" Xiandao, who had been lip-syncing up to this point, couldn't help but join in.

The main reason is that there have been too many things recently, which has made Sendao feel a little stressed. In addition, his personality is that calm, so there is a lot of backlog.

“With the honor of our school in mind, we have only one goal, which is to dominate the country!

let's go! ! ! "

"Oh!!!" With the release of the last sound, Xiandao felt that the heavy air he had accumulated all this time was swept away.

Koshien? The Immortals don't know what's there, dominating the whole country? The goal is lofty but this is not the purpose of immortality.

But Xiandao's thoughts are very simple and he doesn't like the feeling of losing, that's all.

……

The summer competition finally begins.

The name of the competition is the National High School Players Championship, East-West Tokyo Competition.

Although there was no competition on the opening day, there were still many spectators.

A total of 260 schools from East and West Tokyo will attend. They will spend three weeks experiencing brutal fighting before finally returning to the Meiji Jingu Stadium.

The opening process is relatively simple, a bit like the Olympics. All schools enter in order, and then the East and West Tokyo champions from last summer return the winning flag. Representatives of the two teams lead everyone to take the oath, and then break up after deducting some simple speeches. It is a real waste of time. That’s the admission of so many schools.

The weather that day was unusually hot and unbearable. Fanggu fainted from the sun on the spot and was finally carried out by Sawamura.

……

In addition to the competition field, when he was about to go back after taking a rest, he met Inomi again.

Narimiya hid cutely behind Harada Masako.

The seniors and the others also regained their spirits.

Especially Sawamura, the guy who took the initiative to leak information, without any self-awareness, called Narugong Ming a spy bastard of Daocheng Industrial.

……

"Yasang! What's wrong?"

After the meeting with Aomichi, Harada Masako sat in the bus and meditated, and Narimiya Naru came up to ask questions.

"It's nothing! I always feel like I've seen that Immortal Dao somewhere before. It's nothing when I watch the video, but I feel this way every time after seeing the real person. It was the same last time and it's the same today."

"Then have you thought about it?"

"I have no clue at all. It stands to reason that if you see a player of this level, you won't be unimpressed!"

"If you can't think of it, don't think about it. Just ask when you have the chance!"

"makes sense!"

Almost at the same time, almost the same conversation occurred on Qingdao's side, but it was between Xiandao and Sawamura.

The next time these two teams meet, they really need a final.

The grouping on Qingdao's side is not very good, and they really need to go through a hard battle.

However, going through hard battles can be a good thing or a bad thing for Qingdao now.

Needless to say, there are no bad things to say. If you lose and go home in the single-player tournament, facing a strong enemy, it is very likely that the summer will be over due to bad luck.

The good thing is that this Qingdao team has four first-year players, and three of them will play an important role in the summer. It can be said that the growth of Sawamura, Fangtani, and Sendao in the summer qualifiers will affect the development of this team. upper limit.

If there are no accidents, this continuous fierce battle will make the three of them grow significantly.

This was the original trajectory. The Sawamura Fangtani at the beginning of this summer was completely different from the one at the end of the summer.

Practical combat is always the fastest way to make progress.

And the people who are most suitable for this method are the first-year students who have just experienced the cruelty of high school baseball and are growing rapidly.

The Spring Tournament and the Kanto Tournament are just casual compared to the summer.

It can be said that the intensity of the competition is not the same at all.

　In the end it was too late…. All I have to do is make up the leave application form.

　　Asking for votes
