Because of the excitement of Seidou High School, their rivals all took action.
Like Inashiro and Sankou High School, there are many teams in the country who regard Seidou as the first imaginary competitor. As a matter of fact, as long as you are interested in getting into Koshien and wanting to win the Championship, you will not ignore Seidou right now.
Even if Seidou had only been away from Koshien for five years, it was the first time they returned after such a long time.
Seidou is really too strong, even if the feared third-year players all retire, Seidou still retains the Maou Sawamura, the super-talented catcher Miyuki, The Monster pitcher Furuya, and the fast runner Kuramochi, the stable and comprehensive Shiratsu.
A full five people!
That's half the team.
For teams that want to keep winning, Seidou seems to be the hurdle they must pass.
The media right now naturally spared no effort in hyping the Seidou. Even if they haven't won the championship yet, no one thinks that Seidou will encounter any difficulties in the finals. Even their opponents in the final don't look like soft white rabbits but the giant Troll of the North.
Hokkaido represtive, Komadai Fujimaki!
This team has a solid pitching lineup, especially the Ace Nitta and the newly-promoted first-year pitcher Hongou. The talent of the two is amazing. The offense is also very strong, averaging more than seven points per game in previous games.
Strong! Really strong.
But compared with Seidou, the Maou will definitely crush Nitta and Hongou, and it is no joke that the first lineup in the country is Seidou.
Even with some twists and turns, winning is always assured.
Almost everyone, including the larger media, thinks so.
Of course, they would think so, and not for no reason at all. In the previous Tournaments, the representing team of Hokkaido has never had a record of winning the Championship before.
So it is easy to believe it will be the same this time too.
And because of this popularity, almost all the main players of Seidou High School all are getting famous. Even Shiratsu, who was unknown before, has a little fame.
Hell, even Sakai, who is also known as the most tragic main force of Seidou is getting attention.
All the main players of Seidou High School and even a few outstanding substitutes followed suit. Even a player who barely played like Kusunoki with his handsome appearance had gained a group of little fans.
Outside the dormitory where Seidou High School is staying.
Groups of reporters surrounded the entire dormitory.
There are still many fans on the periphery too.
As long as someone puts their head out of the window, it will immediately attract their cheers.
In the main hall, Superintendent Kataoka and Coach Ochiai concisely introduced the information about Komadai.
Right now, it is impossible to discuss precise tactics.
As long as you have an outline about how you will play, everything will depend on your own performance and the coach's direction tomorrow.
"Tomorrow is the final, so everyone rests early. Especially Sawamura!"
Before announcing the dismissal, Coach Kataoka gave a special warning.
Tomorrow Sawamura is the starting pitcher. If nothing else, he should have to finish the game.
In front of the round table, Seidou's players laughed.
Most of these guys laughed when they saw Sawamura getting the 'special' treatment.
"I…"
Sawamura hesitated.
Tomorrow is the final, it would be a lie to say that he is not nervous.
At first glance, the team of Komadai is not a big deal, but the more you study, the more extraordinary things you will find.
In the memory of Sawamura before returning to the past, the Komadai was very scary for a while.
The champion of this Koshien, the champion of the Jingu Tournament after that, and the champion of Spring Koshien.
Three in a row!
The history of Hokkaido was rewritten because of them.
Such an opponent, it's not okay for Seidou's Players to have any carelessness.
After Coach Kataoka and Coach Ochiai left, everyone deliberately didn't talk about tomorrow's game.
No one wants to increase the burden on everyone under such a stressful situation.
"Damn, why is this uncle is ranked seventh?"
Searching for his name with his mobile phone, Isashiki suddenly said angrily.
"What?"
"Where, where?"
"What rank?"
The Players around, like sharks smelling fish, all gathered around him.
Under the strict order of Kataoka's orders, Seidou's players rarely give interviews to the media, but this does not mean that they do not care about their fame and evaluation by the media and fans.
After all, they are still young men with hot blood.
Isashiki Jun was talking about a series of numbers published in a mobile phone weekly newspaper, the popularity ranking of the popular team Seidou High School.
It's based on the simple fact that it depends on how many times their names are searched on the web.
This year's Koshien, the players of Seidou High School, have soared in popularity.
Of course, the media will not give up such a good opportunity and immediately announce the list.
In the list, not only the popularity ranking of everyone but also the number of searches.
After clicking in, there are also introductions about the players.
The most popular on the list is of course Sawamura Eijun.
The popularity of the first-year Ace is high, let alone in Seidou High School, even if it is placed in the entire high school, Sawamura Eijun's reputation is well-deserved first.
7,895,623 number of searches.
A few hundred thousand is shy of eight million searches!
How many fans are there in total who follow Koshien? Also tens of millions.
Among these people, there were many who knew Sawamura. there are 2 million left for nearly half of the 20,000,000 baseball fans were interested in Sawamura and searched for Sawamura's information on the Internet.
The little guy is surely popular.
The runner-up is the Captain of Steel, Yuuki Tetsuya.
1,652,035!
More than 1.6 million people searched the Internet for this seemingly unyielding captain.
Although all the members of Seidou High School are very popular, the only ones who can really exceed one million are Sawamura and Yuuki.
The others seem to be a bit less but also high.
Among the other five star players, Chris came to the top with 750,000 searches, ranking third. The fourth Miyuki, 745,000, looks close to Chris in general.
If it wasn't for him playing instead of Chris, maybe the popularity might be a little higher.
The fifth is the Devil Brother Kominato Ryosuke.
For some reason, he has won the favor of many people, and the number of searches has reached 430,000 times.
The five star players are followed by Furuya Satoru.
Furuya is mainly because, from the last game, everyone began to really pay attention. The search grew rapidly, but it still did not surpass Kominato Ryosuke. 390,000, ranking sixth.
Isashiki Jun 7th!
The beard, the loud mouth, the blazing and outgoing personality have added a lot of popularity to him, with the number of searches reaching 110,000.
Kuramochi is the eighth place, with fewer searches than Isashiki Jun, and the cheetah of Seidou is well-deserved.
Following this, the popularity ranking places the backup Ace, Tanpa Koichiro, as the ninth with 100,000 searches.
Masuko, who hit three home runs, should have been very popular. But there is no way, with Sawamura, a monster with five home runs, his popularity has never been able to increase.
Making him ranked tenth with 78,000 searches.
After that, the 11th was the most tragic main force, Sakai Ichirou, because no one knows what these people think. Anyway, he was searched a lot, 72,000 times.
The twelfth is the handsome third-year Kusunoki Fumiya, reaching 65,000 searches. Sure enough, being drop-dead Handsome is a great boon in this unfair world!
Like here, take a look at the 13th-ranked Kominato Haruichi, who has only played twice. Why did he become famous without him being more pleasing to the eye?
The fourteenth is Kawakami surprisingly.
And THE MAIN right fielder Shiratsu-kun ranked 15th with 23,027 Searches.
…
T/N: Poor Shiratsu! XD
