"Hey?! Isn't this article talking about us?" Nishino Kazuya said in surprise.

When he continued to turn to the later page, he found an article about Baishan High School in the wild ball section of colleges and universities.

The Asahi Shimbun is a national media at Japan, with a total circulation of up to tens of millions of copies per day, making it the second largest newspaper in the world.

The appearance of local universities in such a newspaper can quickly attract the attention of a large number of people who love wild balls in colleges and universities.

"Assai Shimbun?" Nishino Tetsuya remembered that they had indeed been interviewed by Mie Asahi reporters, so he also read the article with curiosity.

"From the defeated regular visitor to the first appearance of Jiaziyuan, Baishan High School uses "number" to subvert common sense"

Do comic-like teams really exist?

When we heard the news that Baishan High School in Sanchong County had been playing in Jiaziyuan for the first time, everyone had this feeling.

Since 2007, the weak public schools that had first retreated for 10 consecutive years, won two wins last year and entered the third round of battles, but this summer they won crazy triple victory.

...

Just like the baseball comics that Mr. Morita had serialized in the Weekly Junior JUMP from 1998 to 2003, the story of the teenagers awakening in baseball with the goal of Kokoto as an opportunity.

In the baseball department of Baishan High School, the dream starts with the overgrown stadium preparation and the gathering of starters, just like the "kingdom" baseball comic.

...

I once actually interviewed the baseball department of Baishan High School, but was shocked.

The biggest surprise was the "number of leaders". I thought it must be the two-person system of Superintendent Dong and Minister Kawamoto, but I didn't expect there were 8 consultants.

...

Baishan High School's real progress was after defeating Wanye 4-3.

In the game against Biran High School, Baishan High School was suppressed to strike out 12 strikeouts in front of sophomore ace Yoshiki Okarachi and was completely defeated in the line.

However, in the first half of the nine innings, Shiratsuyama High School first-year catcher Tetsu Nishino hit a key home run and scored a 4-3 lead.

After the game, Superintendent Totoshi said: "I don't know how to defeat the wild man, but I won in a blink of an eye. Although I really want to go to Jiaziyuan, why can I win? It's incredible."

After that, Baishan High School continued to advance quickly at the county conference.

...

The opponent in the final was Matsusaka Business High School, which defeated the semi-finals of the Spring League and the winner's candidate.

The result was unexpected, Baishan High School won the triple conference with an overwhelming score of 8-2.

Where will the miracle story that happened in the public schools in the mountains last for the first appearance of Jiaziyuan?

"So that's how it is." After reading it all, the players in Baishan realized the reason why so many people came to their school to visit in the past few days.

The paper version is usually slower than the online version. In fact, the work efficiency of the TV station with the Takano section is very high.

Often, the competition is just over in the morning, and the results of the competition can be seen broadcast on TV in the evening, and the content quality of the program is guaranteed.

This is mainly due to the work of journalists.

After getting the approval, they would go to the team early to follow the whole filming, so they got a lot of first-hand video materials.

A more famous source for Takano fans was the eve of the unprecedented five times of Matsui Hideki. The supervisor of the Myito Fukuo School emphasized in front of the camera that players would directly accept the players when they met Matsui Hideki.

What Takano Nishino didn't know was that many Takano fans he didn't know knew him better than Takano Nishino himself.

For example, what is his relationship with the team? Who will he be used to talking to during the rest seat? Various small movements when he squats in the catcher seat were shot by the camera and played out in the program group.

Whenever summer comes, the popularity of college baseball across the country will suddenly rise, and people will start to pay attention to the children who are struggling on the court.

If you mention "Kasuyuan" in Japan, it generally means selecting colleges and universities, namely the Spring National Conference, or the National Colleges and Universities, namely the Summer National Conference.

Every summer, a national high school baseball conference is held at the Jiaziyuan Stadium. Less than 50 schools that win in nearly 4,000 high schools across the country are eligible to compete.

This year, it is a commemorative conference, and the number of participating schools has increased to 56, and many fierce battle zones have two places.

After the local conference began, media and fans from all over the country became active, and a large number of programs about the situation of wild ball games in colleges and universities were broadcast every day.

In years without other competitions, Jiaziyuan in summer is the most popular sports event in the country.

In recent years, Hagar's audience has been increasing, reaching one million.

In just half a month, dozens of amateur games between high school students can attract millions of spectators, and the public's love for college wild balls is obvious.

In Japan, where the cultural and entertainment industry is developed, the number of people paying attention to wild balls in colleges and universities through other methods is even more than tens of millions.

Jiaziyuan is a dream place for high school players and is closely related to the attention it can receive on this big stage.

Third-year players who perform well in Jiaziyuan can use this as a key to open the door to professional baseball, university, and social teams.

Although Shirayama High School has not officially played at Hanshin Kaziyuan Stadium yet, many of their names are already well known to Takano fans, and many people around the country are paying attention to them.

Not only is the Asahi Shimbun, which is urging by the Asahi Shimbun in the summer, many local TV stations will also broadcast players from other counties to conduct data analysis of players from the county and compare their strength.

As the third major conference, Baishan High School is not as good as the Ishikawa Conference's Yoshiki High School, but the scores in each game are not the bottom in the country.

The overall game data of the teams that can enter Jiaziyuan will not be bad.

However, the personal data is huge. Some fans in other regions have discovered the news of the Takano game that surprised them. That is, the overall game data is average, and some players actually achieved incredible results.

“The rate of play is 0.857.”

"21 hits, 18 hits, 8 RBIs, 2 home runs, 10 steals."

"There are RBIs in 6 consecutive games, the scores are back to home base in 6 consecutive games, and the stolen bases are successfully done in 6 consecutive games."

"Baishan High School, first grade, catcher, back number 2, Takashi Nishino."

After recording the show in the evening, when he looked at the scene on the TV, Ken Fujita went from being surprised to widen his eyes. The weak team he had been paying attention to had actually trained such excellent players.
