After singing the school song.

Hiroki Tsuji took the players to the support stands and thanked those who came to Matsusaka City from Shirayama Town to support them.

"Thank you very much for your hard support!!!"

The players lined up to take off their hats and bowed deeply. It was not easy for them to play, and it was also not easy for them to support the supporters who had been playing the whole game.

Support from their hometown is their greatest motivation.

"Hahaha!"

"Win again!"

“Everyone performed great!”

"So amazing!"

"Congratulations on reaching the semi-finals!"

"Fourth!"

"Semi-final!"

The crowd in the stands said in a verbal manner, complimenting words one after another, the baseball department's results were really surprising.

After the thanks, the players of Baishan returned to the rest seat and happily packed up their things. Then the group boarded the small bus supervised by Totaku and returned to Baishan Town.

After the game of this semi-finals, it was already past 2 pm.

In late July, midsummer afternoons were still hot, and the wind caused by driving was also blowing outside the window of the minibus.

The car was a little quiet.

"Well, what's wrong with these guys? Why has it become so quiet this time?"

Totoshi Takashi was confused.

According to usual habits, after winning the game, the players are more active than anyone else, and do whatever they want, and the car is noisy and noisy.

Why did you calm down today?

"oh!"

"Oops!"

Ito Nao shouted suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something important.

Manager Kato Monami asked, "What's wrong? Have you forgotten that you're on the court?"

"No, no," Ito said with a look of surprise, "I just remember now that we have already reached the semi-finals?"

"This is the semi-finals!"

"I didn't even react!"

As soon as Ito Nao said the words, everyone suddenly seemed to have collectively reacted, and it turned out that they had reached the semi-finals.

Final Four!

Semi-finals!

One game is the final!

“Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

The car suddenly became lively, and everyone who reacted began to talk to each other.

Because the subsequent games became more and more intense, the next day after one game, the players who had never experienced it could not digest it for a while.

When everyone relaxed, I remembered that the team had already reached the semi-finals without knowing it.

"Wow, I didn't expect that we could also make it to the semifinals."

"Yes, it's so dreamy."

"This is not a dream, ah! It hurts so much! You really pinch me!"

"I've really reached the semi-finals."

The players were all surprised by their results, and were so happy that they became a little unreal and had no sense of reality at all.

You know, two years ago, Baishan High School was a team with a big fish in the round that everyone bullied. Today, it actually reached the last quarterfinals.

Incredible!

The grades are so good that even I can't believe it.

Before the start of the competition, who would have thought that Baishan High School, with average strength, could defeat a stronger school and get a seat in the semi-finals.

But today, the dreams of children in the countryside have become reality.

Baishan High School won four consecutive games, reached the semi-finals all the way, becoming one of the final four.

This is not something that can be done with good luck.

The players shouted in the car: "Ahhhh, we are the semifinals!"

The supervisor of Totoshi did not stop the excited players. After all, this result was all achieved by them, so it would not be too much to be happy.

On this summer afternoon, the players' voices gradually became louder, and the initial whine turned into oh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

“Baishan High School!”

"Must win!"

With the noise that puzzled the passers-by on the road, the minibus slowly drove towards Shiratsuyama Town.

...

However, the players' energy was not infinite. After a long time of noisy, the car gradually became quiet again.

The fatigue of Lian Zhan suddenly surged up, and many players fell asleep in the car.

These two games were all stalemates with nine rounds. Although Baishan High School won, the process of the game was unrelaxed at all.

Baishan is 4 to 3 wild wilderness.

Baishan 4 to 3.

Both games were scored 4-3, but the content of the game was very different. One game was a long-term behind, and the other game was a consistent lead.

The same thing is that Baishan players are very hard to play.

After this game, the next game will be the day after tomorrow, which means that Baishan players can rest for a day without having to play one after another.

There is no game tomorrow, so everything will be left for the day after tomorrow. The players can relax a little bit, so many people suddenly relax and fall asleep.

Tetsuya Nishino fell asleep too.

Whether it is Shiye High School or Xiao High School, its strength is stronger than Baishan High School. Baishan has certain luck in winning.

But luck won't be in vain.

If Baishan High School had not done a good job in defense and had not been caught by its opponents, it would be possible that the game would not be able to sustain the explosion of the line.

In 4 consecutive games, Baishan High School lost no more than 3 points.

It was impossible to do it in the previous baseball department. So this shows how obvious Baishan’s improvement in defense is.

The performance of the pitcher, the garrison's garrison and the guidance of Tetsu Nishino are the keys to achieving this achievement.

Defense and offense complement each other.

If Baishan High School’s defense line is sieve, it will be difficult to make a difference when playing the line. It is simply unrealistic to expect a team that loses 10 points per game to play against opponents.

Baseball is always a team sport, relying on teammates in every position.

Of course, there is one position that is the pitcher.

In any case, pitchers are the most dazzling presence on the baseball field and are the focus of all audiences' attention.

"Only the pitcher can he have the ability to decide the outcome on the field!"

This sentence is not an exaggeration, it can even be said that in high school baseball this is reality.

Because the strike level of high school students is generally not high, a strong ace pitcher can suppress the entire line of the opponent.

This can be clearly seen from the performance of the ace pitchers of Shino High School and Akigao.

Wanye's ace pitcher, Ganglin, can crazily strike out Baishan's hitter by one person. If it weren't for too many bad balls in the back, Baishan would probably not be able to get one point.

Akagao's ace pitcher Sugiyama made 6 rounds and 0 points in 7 rounds. If it weren't for the injury to the elbow, Baishan would have to fight hard to win.

This is the strength of an ace pitcher, which really plays a decisive role in the game. The catcher must guide the pitcher's strength to the greatest extent.

At this time, a "click" sound suddenly sounded on the seat in front of the bus.

“Eh?”
Chapter completed!
