Capítulo 19: Spring Competition Opening
April is the time when the cherry blossoms fall and it is the early spring season in Tokyo.
It is also the day of the Tokyo Spring Competition. As a tournament that is not as valuable as the Summer Competition or the Fall Competition, the Spring Competition naturally receives less attention, but for major universities, the Spring Competition is not an optional event. It is impossible for a college to sit back and watch the spring tournament go down the drain (in fact, the probability of the spring tournament going down the drain is higher than the summer tournament and the fall tournament, which is also relative).
If the team loses to an equally strong school, it will affect the seeding of their team in the summer tournament and lose their seeding in the summer tournament due to carelessness or other subjective reasons.
If you have to clash with the strongest schools in the summer tournament.
That would be a great misfortune for this team.
Therefore, the combination of the above factors, the spring competition does not seem to be much important, but in reality, for these strong giants, is definitely not an optional event.
It is important to understand.
There are times when the signatures are lucky.
It is also a reflection of strength.
On the one hand, it is easy to enter the finals, on the other hand, it is a fierce battle against many strong opponents, fighting several games to enter the finals.
In this kind of intensive schedule.
In this summer competition, which is still in the summer heat.
There is no doubt that the former has an absolute pre-tournament advantage.
Naturally, in the whole of Tokyo, even the strong teams such as Seidou High School, Ichidaisan High School, Inashiro Industrial, and Teitou High School, which are called the four major schools in Tokyo, will not be fooled in the spring competition.
West Tokyo, a certain district, Fuchu Citizen Stadium.
At 10:00 a.m., the entire bleachers, the half of the first base dugout, were already crowded at this hour.
The reason is that today's game at this stadium is the first round of Seidou High School's spring tournament.
"Seidou, Seidou, Seidou!!!"
"Coach Kataoka!!!"
"Azuma!!!"
"Chris!!!"
"Inoue!!!"
"Win the competition successfully today too!!!"
"Absolutely go for it this year! You guys!!!"
As soon as the Seidou High School baseball team arrived at the stadium, there was a wave of cheers from the stands.
But the giants are still giants.
The strength of the lineup can definitely be called one of the strongest in the country.
The heritage of a famous school is not a joke.
As a famous school in West Tokyo.
The hardcore fans that Seidou High School has been absolutely no less than any other high school.
Every year, in the Summer League regional qualifying rounds, they are all so close to beating their opponents and entering Koshien. These supporters have reason to believe that their team is just a little bit short of luck. This is the year that their team will enter the national tournament and the best hope for Koshien!
The sound of support is huge.
The atmosphere was almost like the home field of Seidou High School.
The first time he stepped onto the official high school field, Shigeno Shin felt a passionate urge in his heart.
"This is a high school baseball game..."
A bright and spacious stadium, with a strong and intense atmosphere.
All this is completely different from the game in junior high school.
This is the existence that he has always longed for.
First base dugout, Seidou High School.
Third base dugout, Saigo High School.
As the opponent of Seidou High School in the first round of the spring tournament, Saigo High School managed to reach the top eight in the regional qualifying round of the East Tokyo Summer Tournament last year but finally lost to the strong team in East Tokyo, Kurotokan High School.
In the whole Tokyo area.
Saigo High School's strength is also considered to be in the upper-middle class, and the strong lineup that Saigo High School prides itself on has penetrated the defensive line of numerous East Tokyo teams last year.
It will be the biggest point of interest in this game today.
"Buzz - buzz - buzz"
"Line up!!!"
"Salute!!!"
"Let's have a good game!!!"
The fragrance of cherry blossoms in early spring, on the field, the loud and clear shouts of teenagers.
The 89th Tokyo Metropolitan Spring Tournament, the first battle, Seidou High School vs. Saigo High School, the battle, has officially begun!
"Precision, speed, this is the characteristic of Saigo High School's lineup, not deliberately pulling the ball, although will actively hit, seldom a significant blow, to deal with the opponent's lineup, the pitching must be more careful, the infield should also be alert to all kinds of strong attack ball, understand?"
On the first base side, in front of the dugout of Seidou High School.
The Seidou High School team was gathered in a circle, and Coach Kataoka stood with a solemn look and said in a deep voice.
"Inoue, at the beginning of the game, pitch cautiously, got it?"
"Yes, Coach, I understand!"
3rd-year ace, Inoue Koji, as the team's starter in this game, and it was the best way for Inoue and Seidou High School as a whole to test their status in the official game after about five months.
Winter training.
Nearly half a year's training.
All you need is to have growth that satisfies you.
To prove that they are different from the past, that they are indeed stronger than in the past!
"So, let's go!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
"Top of the first inning, Saigo High School's attack, first batter, third baseman, Shimada-Kun."
Saigo High School attacked first.
Looking at Inoue-senpai standing on the pitcher's mound, Shigeno's eyes on the bench showed a look of longing.
That back number, that position.
His right hand clenched up slightly, revealing his inner emotions, who was also eager for such an opportunity to show himself.
"Watch well the way senpais fight, what you need to learn, what you can learn, and what you can do, that's what you need to think about now."
Coach Kataoka, who was standing on the front side of the bench, watching the players on the field, seemed to be able to sense Shigeno's inner thoughts behind him and said so as if he was referring to them.
After a slight daze, he answered quickly.
"Yes! Coach!!!"
