Chapter 249 The initial agreement
From the first year of high school to today's semi-finals, scenes whizzed by Nishino Tetsuya's mind.
The blows and defenses of teammates and opponents, the regrets when retreating, the excitement when victory, and all these scenes constitute the most valuable memory in just a few months.
In fact, the time they spend with most of the main players in the baseball department of Baishan High School in the first grade is only a few months from April to July.
But the feelings established by living together day and night in the baseball department and their sense of identity with the Baishan Baseball Department will definitely not be inferior to those of the seniors in the senior year.
Therefore, after reaching the final, Takashi Nishino was extremely convinced that this group of seniors who came through the most difficult time in Baishan will definitely lead them to achieve unprecedented results this year and stand on the stage of everyone's extremely dreams.
"It's getting late, so go back to bed..."
After looking at the time and packing up his things, Takashi Nishino quietly returned to the dormitory.
Tomorrow's final is the most important game in the summer. If you perform poorly because you don't have a good rest, Tetsu Nishino will definitely not forgive him.
Early the next morning, the baseball department of Baishan High School took a bus to Siri City.
Since it is the summer triple meeting, if you get off at Kintetsu Yokoshi Station and Kintetsu Tomota Station, there will be a triple transportation bus temporarily running.
If you choose to get off at Kintetsu Kanoura Station or get off at JR Toshitahama Station, you only need a 25-minute hike to reach the Yokohama Stadium.
Before noon, the players entered the stadium and began to step on the field.
Four Days Market Stadium.
The weather in July is already full of summer, and the sea breeze from Ise Bay in the Pacific blows over the court, so the blue sky is as calm as the lake.
This is a weather suitable for outdoor photography. Although the white clouds in the sky are sparse, they form large clouds, hanging in the sky with the huge sun.
In the cheering stands, both schools brought their own playing sections, and the trombone drums rang in turn, and they carefully auditioned the sound before the game.
Next to them are a few boys wearing traditional school uniforms and headbands tied with headbands. As the leaders of the support team, they will cheer in the stands during the competition.
At the same time, other members of the baseball department were also sitting in the stands waiting. The girl cheerleaders surrounded the support team, fiddling with the colorful balls in their hands, and preparing quietly there.
On the side of the court, more and more people came to watch the game, and thousands of people had gathered. Many residents around also joined in, preparing to cheer for the players of the two teams with great enthusiasm.
Around the slope lawn around the outfield of the baseball field, some residents dragged their families and spread out canvas on the grass, with a lot of food on it, and their children were waiting for the start of the game.
While the stadium staff were preparing, two commentators, Shunsuke Watanabe and Takayama Takayama, had already started live commentary. One of them was live commentary and the other was guests.
The two started chatting.
Shunsuke Watanabe asked Takayama's impression of the two teams: "Takayama Sang, what do you think of the opportunities for the two teams?"
"I think today will be a very exciting game, because Matsusaka Shang High School has a super strong line play, while Baishan High School won the finals with its defense. The showdown between the two teams will definitely be very good."
"Yeah, I agree with Gao Shansang's view. Sure enough, which team of the two teams won is all a surprise this summer."
Smiling and echoing a few words, Watanabe Shunsuke said with great interest.
"I just don't know if the two teams can maintain their performance in the previous game under the pressure of the finals. After all, they decided to go to Jiaziyuan, and the atmosphere will always be different."
"San Watanabe is right. On this stage, the air will become tense. The most important thing is to show your normal level."
"That's right..."
While the two were chatting, the staff on the court also finished work, using water pipes to slightly wet the soil in the inland, and then pushed the pink cart to start drawing lines in the home zone.
Before their own rest seat, the players of the two teams made the final pre-match warm-up.
This summer, Shirashan captain Hiroki Tsuji was very stable. Except for the first and second rounds, Shirashan High School was the first to attack in all subsequent games, so at this time, Shirashan players were practicing baton swinging before resting.
On the side of the first base is the rest seat of Baishan.
In the crowd, Tetsu Nishino also held the bat and shook the ball in the air one after another.
Baishan’s players can’t tell which one has more advantages, either attacking first or attacking later. Because they did not score points in the first game in the first game, but only scored points in the first game in the second game.
In this game, Bai Shan's lineup faced a defense that only lost 5 points in 5 games. It would definitely not be so easy to make a breakthrough in the first game.
Both teams were hurrying to prepare. The one on Baishan was full of shadows, while the other on Matsusaka Shang were passing the ball to each other.
"call--"
After practicing until he felt almost the same, Takashi Nishino stopped the movement. He would not practice too much before the game started.
"really……"
Looking up at the support stands, Takashi Nishino kept searching, but in the end he still couldn't find the familiar figure, and sighed silently in his heart.
The team's backbone Kyotaro Ichikawa was about to enter the rest seat, but when he saw Tetsu Nishino's slightly disappointed look, he reached out to hold him.
"Why, I'm worried that I won't get a score at the beginning?"
"Um... it's true."
"Well, don't be too nervous. Even if you don't get on the base, we will score with all our strength. Don't worry, go and play."
"Well, I understand, Senior Ichikawa."
Time was walking little by little, and the game was about to begin, so the referee team signaled the players of the two teams to prepare to step forward.
The players of the two teams who had warmed up rushed to both sides of the home plate area under the leadership of the referee team to conduct pre-match ceremonies.
"Ah Sa—————————”
"Please give me some advice!"
"Dear viewers who are sending out for students, good afternoon! Now you are watching the final of the three major conference, the match between Baishan High School and Matsusaka Shonka High School. I am the commentator Takayama Takayama, and I am the commentator Shunsuke Watanabe."
In this final match, Mie Asahi Sports and other TV stations were broadcast live in the whole county, and the focus of this game was the highest in the prefecture.
The radio on the court rang, introducing the Matsusaka High School players who were defending first. At the same time, the Matsusaka High School players were very serious about practicing at the last time.
After introducing the defensive players, the broadcast continued to broadcast the report: "The first half of the inning was Baishan High School's offense. The hitters on the court are, Yiba, Catcher, Nishino Jun."
"Catcher, Nishino-kun."
Seeing Tetsuki Nishino standing in the attack area, today's chief judge Ken Tsuji pointed at the pitcher with his right hand and shouted.
“PlayBall!”
An air defense alarm "buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz" suddenly sounded over the court.
At this moment, Takashi Nishino remembered the place where everyone fought for. Standing on the strike zone, he carried the wishes of many people on his back.
Those who cannot play entrusted their wishes to the players who fought on the court. Together with their part, everyone's strength gathers together, and Baishan will definitely win.
In the support stands, the figure of Amana Moriya's senior sister never appeared, but Tetsu Nishino always remembered their agreement, so before he started to enter the court, he sent a LINE message on his mobile phone.
Chapter completed!
