The two hundred and fortieth chapters connect people and people

"Sure enough, it was because of the same sweat as a famous family that Baishan achieved such amazing results."

After watching the baseball in the small warehouse, Suzuki Miyuki felt very moved.

Back in the pergola, Captain Hiroki Tsuji continued to demonstrate to the camera team and introduced the functions of those logs.

“We use these logs to train strength and muscle.”

While talking, Hiroki Tsuji picked up the log and did some exercises during normal training.

First, put your hands under the log and pick them up, stand upright, then take a step on your left foot, then press down, do a pedaling and press your legs, and finally retract your feet to stand attentively.

Repeat the left and right feet and take them back, and make several sets at a time.

Such a simple exercise uses very few equipment, but it can exercise muscles in multiple parts of the body.

In order to experience the effect of this training, a male staff member came out to try it several times, but almost flashed his waist.

"Ah! It's so heavy, I can't stand my waist anymore!"

When he took a step to suppress it, he felt that it was OK because of the help of gravity.

But the retraction was based on the coordinated power of the back, waist, thighs, and arms, and he felt that he could not bear it at once.

"Hey, it's not very good."

The staff member put down the log and shook his head with a wry smile. It was estimated that only the photographer could hold on and do several sets in their camera team.

Of course, there are many movements in baseball training, but Hiroki Tsuji did not demonstrate them one by one, so it would be enough to do a few shots for them.

Suzuki Miyuki asked them how they thought of using these methods to train, and Hiroki Tsuji explained generously.

"Because the funds in the ministry are tight, everyone will find a way for themselves."

"Look."

"We can make simple bamboo bats and so on. Anyway, they are all consumables and they can't use very good ones."

“And these logs.”

"It was all the supervisor Dong led us up the mountain to cut, and they used all the wood from the alumni's house."

"Hey, so that's what it is..."

Thinking of the gyms configured by other schools for baseball, Suzuki Miyuki suddenly felt that this was a sad reason.

The shortage of funds is a practical problem that many rural public school clubs have to face, and it cannot be solved by school funding alone.

However, most of the rural public schools recruit local students, and the proportion of achievements in the future is much smaller than that of private schools and urban public schools.

Therefore, even if the alumni of Baishan High School have always donated, the amount is difficult to meet the long-term consumption.

The way private high schools rely on donations and sponsorships to support a large part of alumni is not working in these rural public schools, after all, the situation between the two is different.

Then the camera team interviewed the players who were resting, and then interviewed the team's manager and school coach.

When Kato Monami was almost asked, she suddenly found a phone call from her cell phone in her pocket, and quickly told Suzuki Miyuki that she was rude.

"It's okay, there's not much shooting. If you have urgent matters, go and deal with it first."

Miyuki Suzuki felt that they were suddenly coming to find materials to disturb Baishan’s people. After all, Baishan still has a final tomorrow, so there must be a lot of things to prepare.

"Then I'll leave first."

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

After receiving the call, Kato Mo's beautiful girl appeared worried and hurriedly spoke to Higashitaoji, then left the court with her cell phone.

“Eh?”

"Is there anything urgent for Senior Sister Kato? I'll go back so soon..."

While resting with the pitchers, Takashi Nishino saw Monami Kato who was leaving and thought to himself.

After that, the materials were almost done. Suzuki Miyuki and others talked to Superintendent Toshitaoji, packed up their things and got into their own interview car, and left the stadium.

The car slowly drove into the street.

There are some residences distributed in the east of the town, and about 11,000 people live in the town. What appears in front of the interview car are two-story cottages that are very common in the countryside.

These residential and shop buildings look decades old. The upper and lower floor layout and black and white exterior wall colors are vicissitudes but angular, with a warm and unique sense of history.

The interview car was driving on the street, and there were not many pedestrians. There were occasionally one or two elderly people walking on the street, and there were shops on both sides of the shops who were free to come.

"What a quiet and peaceful place..."

Reporter Miyuki Suzuki suddenly became curious and turned to discuss with the photographer.

"Does the residents of the town know that the high school baseball department of their location have reached the finals of the county conference in such a quiet and peaceful place?"

So she asked the driver to stop the car and got out of the car with the photographer to interview passers-by randomly, which surprised them.

"Hey?!Does Mina San know about the baseball department?"

"Of course!"

They got almost the same answers. Only then did Suzuki Miyuki and the others realize that because Shiratsuyama Town is not big, the school's baseball team passes through the street every day, and they are very familiar with the residents of the town.

"This country is the first..."

Originally, some old people could call out the names of baseball players, which made Suzuki Miyuki and the others very unbelievable. Passers-by explained the reason why the street was empty to them, which made them even more shocked.

Every time the baseball team game is live, the people from Shirayama Town will support the team together.

In Baishan Town, there are many pedestrians on the street during the game day. Local residents either watch live broadcasts at home or gather in an organized manner at the Baishan Comprehensive Cultural Center in Tianjin to watch the game together.

After the game, everyone will discuss it enthusiastically for a long time and are reluctant to go home.

At this time, Suzuki Miyuki and others learned the significance of baseball to Shiratsuyama.

A small town with 11,000 people, an unknown school, and ordinary county conference competitions were actually regarded as a festival-like existence by local residents.

Facing the camera of the crew, an uncle said that he had been watching the hard work of the children, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

"The kids have worked very hard, but outside, there are more people who work harder than them."

"Everyone is still the children from the countryside who don't even know how to take the subway. It doesn't matter if you go to such a big final stage..."

"Sorry, every time I think of this, I can't help it."

The person who is being interviewed by Miyuki Suzuki is exactly Uncle Tanaka Masao who supports the team all the way.

From random interviews, the images recorded by the film crew recorded the true feelings that people revealed were recorded frame by frame.

For this Komachi, this incident is no longer just about baseball. It connects people in the town with people, and everyone cheers, excites and sheds tears for the same thing.
