The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

Diamond Ace: The Return of the Pitcher Chapter 40

"Shh~"

With a sigh of foul breath, Zecun decided not to worry about him anymore.There are some things that can't be forced, but fortunately, none of them have a third grade, and they still have a chance.It's just that the next big competition, I'm afraid I won't have such good luck.

"It's a great vote, Master Sawamura!!!"

"We will always support you."

"Come on, Akagi! Come on, Zecun!!!"

...

In the stands, the fans of the Red Heart Brotherhood stood up one by one, giving Akagi applause, cheering and encouragement.

"Let's go and thank the audience who cheered us on."

Zecun said with a smile.

Most of Akagi's little friends had tears in their eyes.But this game lost to Tianlong Temple, they have nothing to say.However, next time, next time they will definitely not drag Zecun back.Let him compete with Qi Hai upright.

"Thank you!!!"

Akagi Middle School, with a total of eleven people, stood in a row, bends down deeply towards the friends of the Red Heart Brotherhood.

After thanking the audience, the players on both sides saluted each other.

"Thanks for your advice!"

This time, the people at Tenryu Temple shook hands with Akagi's friends one by one sincerely.

The friends of Akagi Middle School used their own strength to win the respect of their opponents.

Chapter 064: The Next Generation Geniuses

Like a tornado, Akagi Middle School, which swept the entire Nagano Prefecture regional competition, went into silence after a few days of fermentation.

After all, they did not completely rewrite the situation in Nagano Prefecture. It was still two of the three kings, Tenryuji Middle School and Dabei Middle School, who represented Nagano Prefecture in the Kanto Conference!

Dabei Middle School, in the first round of the Kanto Conference, it ran into the King's Henggang Academy in Kanagawa.Well, there are 16 teams participating in the Kanto Conference. They are not too out of the ordinary, and there are seven difficult brothers and sisters to accompany.

In the semi-finals, Tianlong Temple Middle School, which was almost counted by Zecun, was ashamed and brave.With Qi Hai Yao as the core, they used their mobility to create opportunities, narrowly defeating their opponents several times with small scores, and finally reached the final of the Kanto Conference.

In the final, Tenryu Temple lost to Kanagawa King Henggang Academy, but unfortunately lost, Qi Haiyao got three points by Henggang's beater!

Next, Tenryuji Middle School performed well in the whole country. He advanced all the way to the semifinals. In the semifinals, he lost to Kitakomai Middle School in Hokkaido. Then he lost in the third or fourth place.

Only one step away, did not squeeze into the top three in the country, ranking fourth.

Akagi Middle School's own little friend accepted this result very calmly.I am not too depressed because of my failure.In particular, he won the fourth place in the country at Tenryuji, after creating the best record in Nagano Prefecture in the past two decades.Akagi's little friend suddenly felt more relaxed.

In any case, they also lost to fourth place in the country.Their strength should still be quite strong.

Then there is the national competition. This national competition is not so intense. What is more interesting is that the Kanto first left and right shots appeared.Left cast Cheng Gong Ming, right cast Qi Haiyao...

There are many others like them who are only in the first or second grade, but have become the core players of their respective teams.

Great next era!

These next-generation players will inevitably lead a new era of middle school baseball in the coming year.

In the media, "Baseball Boy", which has the strongest strength and the most resources, also screened a hundred players and produced a cartoon album.There is no specific ranking above, only roughly divided into three categories.

In the first column are twelve people who have entered the country and have outstanding performances in the country.These people, six in the soft ball league and six in the hard ball league, are collectively called the twelve kings.

There are thirty-six people in the second column. There are also not only softball leagues among these people, but also a lot of hardball leagues who have achieved great results.Of course, the base of softball league players is large, and relatively speaking, they account for more.

Both of these columns have actual records that can be checked. The batting rate, on-base rate, and defensive success rate are all scary.In addition, their team and their personal position in the team can also be known.

In other words, they are all gods who stand at the pinnacle of life.

Next is the third column. There are fifty-two players who have no national experience but who "Baseball Boy" thinks are very promising.What's interesting is that among these fifty-odd people, the players in the hardball league, that is, the players who belong directly to the youth league, account for more importance. On the contrary, the softball league players with many players are rare.

The next-generation genius list of "Baseball Boys" was released, and Sawamura is on the list.

Sawamura didn't care much about this.He has experienced this kind of thing too many times in his previous life. When he was a student, although he hadn't been on various rankings.But in his profession, he is often on the list.

Whether it is from this country or from the major leagues.

To put it bluntly, this is just a means for the media and sponsors to increase the popularity of the topic.Except for recognized tournament records and various titles, professional baseball scouts simply won't collect it in their own database like this kind of folk-made things.

But the friends are different, they are still very enthusiastic about being on the list of Zecun.

Akagi Middle School, Nagano Prefecture, Sawamura Eizumi.

Position: Pitcher, four sticks.

The core of the team led Akagi Middle School to the top four in Nagano Prefecture and defeated the powerful Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.In the direct dialogue with the fourth place in the country, Tianlongsi Middle School, there was no disappointment.

Pitcher (passing) strength evaluation: four stars

Combat strength evaluation: three and a half

Defensive strength evaluation: four and a half stars

Speed ​​strength evaluation: Samsung

Tactical execution strength evaluation: five stars

Potential estimation: four and a half stars.

Comprehensive assessment: 24 and a half stars!

Although Sawamura is ranked in the third echelon, his evaluation is very high.According to the total number of stars, Zecun's ranking is only a little worse than the twelve heavenly kings above 25 stars.

Thanks to the strong publicity of "Baseball Boys", Sawamura's name had already spread in small circles before he even entered the national competition.Everyone knows that there is a good pitcher in Nagano Prefecture called Sawamura.

Although Zecun is not very interested in his ranking and evaluation.But for this list, I really like it.

On this list, he saw many acquaintances.Of course, these were all acquaintances from his previous life. Now Zecun knows them, but they don't know Zecun.

Let me talk about the Twelve Heavenly Kings. Here, Zecun knows almost half of them.Some of these people are his opponents in high school, and some are friends he met in professional competitions.Coupled with Qi Haiyao and Cheng Gong Ming, Ze Village knows ten people no less.

There are two Zecun who have not heard of it, which is not surprising.

It's too late, a player who may not be better.On the baseball field, it's too much.

Injuries, mental imbalance, various temptations, and dislikes to work in baseball in the future, or the body no longer develops after middle school...

In addition to talent and hard work, luck is sometimes a very important precondition for the birth of a true professional baseball player.

Among the other more than 80 people, there are even more acquaintances in Zecun.

Miyuki, Mima, Kawakami Senior, Shirakawa, Karl Ross, Takasaki, Mukai...

"call!"

Taking a breath, Zecun smiled and shook his head.It is not surprising that Yuxing was not ranked among the Twelve Heavenly Kings.If the memory is correct, Yuyuki's youth club in middle school doesn't seem to be particularly outstanding.Although he often wins, he never made it to the finals in the competition.

This is one time when he drank with Cheng Gongming and heard Cheng Gongming's muttering, Yuxing himself would not say such embarrassment.

Summer nights always come late.

Zecun sat quietly at home preparing to eat. At this time, the TV was turned on and an advertisement appeared.

"The Wenchen Cup, the war is rekindled. This time, who can be the representative of Nagano Prefecture in the country? Is it the top four Tenryuji Middle School, or the comeback Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, or the one who regrettably lost the first round of the Kanto Contest? North Middle School..."

Every team comes out with a photo.The photos are arranged in an arrow shape. The leader is the core of the team, followed by the main players of the team.Above the players is their coach.

The last photo, freeze frame.

"Are the three kings defending the title, but there are still dark horses disturbing the situation."

Here, the name of the dark horse school is not mentioned, but this photo is very interesting.

Below is the flame, and above the flame, there is a line of small golden characters, Nagano Akagi Middle School.

Above the small print is Zecun, and on both sides of Zecun are Fengxiang and Wakaa.Then came the friends from Akagi Middle School, Oda, Yamaguchi, Nakagawa Shin, Fengliang Zhengtai, and Yamazaki brothers.

At the top of the team, Sano opened his chubby hands, looking very imposing.

Although the name of Akagi was not mentioned at the end, this photo stayed the longest.The three kings stayed for only three or four seconds, but Akagi's photo stayed for ten seconds.

Then is the start time of the Wenchen Cup and the introduction of the stadium arrangement.

After the advertisement ends.

The parents and grandpa stared at Zecun with three big eyes.

This movement is very wrong.They knew that Sawamura was playing baseball.But in their view, this is just a play house for children. There is no professional baseball field, no professional coaches, and a bunch of children fooling around. What else can they do?

But now it seems that it is not the case.

Why are you still on TV?And looking at that posture, Akagi Middle School seems to be one of the most promising competitors in Nagano Prefecture.

"Xiao Rong, can you explain to mom?"

My mother is always gentle, and she always makes small meatballs for Zecun.But now she didn't smile, as if she was going to devour Zecun alive.

Zecun ate the rice ball in his hand very plainly, and he knew why his mother was so angry.For those who have just graduated from elementary school, their lives are almost always with their mother.

Only at middle school did Zecun begin to have his own circle.The mother and son used to get along day and night, and talked about everything, but now Zecun has such a great achievement without her.As a mother, it is conceivable to feel uncomfortable.

"It's nothing, it's just that we reached the top four in Nagano Prefecture in the previous competition."

As he said, Sawamura clenched his fist unwillingly.Only one step away, they won.Although the young partner didn't care much about losing to fourth place in the country, Zecun was different.

Even if he is well trained, from the point of view of Zecun, the guys at Tianlong Temple are just a bunch of little kids.Zecun was still unwilling to lose to them.

But baseball is like this, it is not basketball.If it is basketball, as long as a person is particularly strong, it is not impossible to crush the audience.Baseball is different. Unless it is Superman, no team can defeat all opponents by one person.

"Oh, that's how it is."

The hot grandfather was very calm, and Zecun was a little surprised by the calmness.

"You bastard, why don't you inform us about such a big thing? Do you have the consciousness of being a grandson?"

In a blink of an eye, Grandpa's volcano erupted, revealing his nature.

In this regard, Sawamura was not to be outdone: "Oh, I haven't complained yet. The semi-finals were broadcast by local TV stations. Didn't you watch it? Even if you didn't watch it, didn't the neighbors tell you? You are really related. Is my grandson playing baseball?"

Uh……

After being complained by Zecun, grandpa and parents were silent.

During this time, it is the harvest season, they are also very busy, OK?Besides, few of the neighbors watch baseball?

"Even so, you should tell us. After all, we are your family!"

Father said with an old face, with his hip-hop non-mainstream outfit, it still looked a lot like that.

Zecun said, "I think too, but let me say that, say I have reached the county semi-finals, come and cheer for me. It feels like a kid showing off his report card and asking for lollipops."

"Don't be too stinky!"

Grandpa feels that the same is true, but he doesn't like Zecun who is not big or small.

Zecun: Not all you taught.

The formation of a family atmosphere cannot be determined by one person.It's determined by the family's personality, and the seemingly enthusiastic atmosphere may not be big or small in the eyes of others, but from the point of view of Zecun's own family.

This is the best bond and the most comfortable state of coexistence among their relatives.

As for the team's performance, Sawamura didn't want to hide it from his family at first.It's just that he wanted to wait until he entered the Kanto Conference.

...

Volume Two A Strong Rise

Chapter 001

It's April 1 of the year again, and it's time for freshmen to enter school again.

What surprised Zecun was that the news of the merger of the school was delayed, and everything was calm.I don't know whether it is his own insight into the hearts of the people is not enough, or the superb skills of Principal Takada disguised.

In short, when Zecun applied for activity funds with the principal in the new school year, he did not see any abnormalities.The stingy Headmaster Takada also gave Ze Village 50,000 Oceans for the first time.This money is the cost of half a year's study for those athletes who are great for youth.

But for Akagi, this is the Akagi Middle School baseball team, one semester, the entire team's activity expenses.If it is shared among a dozen people, one person is just over a thousand a month.The money is stretched to eat steamed buns.(Prices and exchange rates are 1:16, that is, one renminbi is exchanged for sixteen yen, and more than one thousand is equivalent to less than one hundred yuan.)
