Chapter 400: Strong Trial
afternoon.
Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan.
Meiji Shrine Baseball Stadium.
The stadium opened from 4 p.m. to enter, and the gathering of fans flocked to the stadium opened in the 1920s.
Since its opening, Meiji Shrine Baseball Stadium has often been a stadium for university and high school events, and is now also the home court of professional baseball team Tokyo Yakarta Swallow.
This game is for the "Strong Trial" held by the U18 team, and was led by the Japanese Students' Ball Club Association and the head of the Japanese Higher Education Colleges' Ball Club and the All-Japanese University Ball Club.
Asahi, Daily, Business, Daily, Daily, Daily, Daily, Daily News and other news agencies work together.
High school team vs. College team.
As the outfield stands were opened, about 25,000 spectators were seated at the entire Shrine Baseball Stadium.
The players of the college team are also selected from the country. Unlike high school baseball games, college players play more professional college league games.
Most of the players of the university team entered Jiaziyuan in high school, and some of them were from the same high school as the players of the high school team on the same court.
Looking at the young faces of high school players, the college players seemed to see themselves a few years ago, and they all laughed happily.
"We need to teach the younger generations well in this game!"
"We came here like this back then. Everyone should work harder, so you can't let go!"
The upper body of the high school team jersey is dark, and the third base side rest seat is used. The main color of the university team jersey is white, and the first base side rest seat is used.
Third base side.
The high school team rest seat.
After returning from warming up, Yuta Ichikawa approached Nishino Tetsuya and kept chatting quietly.
"Xiaozhe, you sinful man."
Although the sound is small, it is enough to reach Nishino Tetsuya's ears.
"Senior Ichikawa, don't you want to start first? How can you keep talking?"
"I just want to say, Xiaozhe, you are really hateful."
Yuta Ichikawa lowered his voice and pretended to grit his teeth.
When he thought of the scene he saw in the baseball classroom activity this morning, he couldn't calm down.
In addition to the afternoon to evening games, the high school team also arranged an event for the masterpiece "Baseball Classroom" in the morning.
This baseball classroom event invites about 100 children from grade 1 to grade 3 of primary schools to enter the Shrine Baseball Stadium to play with U18 players to cultivate children's interest in baseball.
For children who have just come into contact with baseball, playing with the longing Jiaziyuan players is as happy as if their dreams are realized.
During the pitching part, a large group of little boys and girls came over and excitedly passed and received the ball with Nishino Tetsuya.
Facing the questions raised by children such as "How can I go to Jiaziyuan?" "Is it hard to play baseball?" "Can I go to Jiaziyuan when I grow up?"
Tetsu Nishino is always gentle and patient.
"There were also painful things before going to Jiaziyuan. But baseball is happy. It's great that you can be happy. I hope you like baseball even more."
Of course, Yuta Ichikawa was worried about for the afternoon, but the scene where Tetsu Nishino was attacked.
At that time, when Nishino Tetsu squatted down to catch the ball, a little girl from grade one and two entered and took the opportunity to slap his side face.
Originally, Yuta Ichikawa was just surprised to see it.
Unexpectedly, another little girl next to her also leaned over and slammed Nishino Tetsuya's other side of her face.
On both sides of the left and right, Ichikawa Yuta was shocked when he saw that scene.
"Xiaozhe is so charming?!"
Faced with Yuta Ichikawa's question, Tetsu Nishino gave an explanation that it may be because he was gentle and patient when playing with the children, and the children who have a strong sense of emotions were felt by them.
Yu Ichikawa was too dissatisfied with this answer and insisted that the biggest reason why Tetsu Nishino was treated like this was his appearance.
But when I think about it this way, Yuta Ichikawa felt even more uncomfortable, and I felt that it was better to accept the first explanation.
While the players were chatting and preparing in the rest seat, the opening work on the court was about to be completed.
The live broadcast of this game was equipped with 4 people, namely Nobugo Rimoto, commentator Hitoshi Toshihisa, guests Akira Takeda and Kiyichiro Okura.
When Rimoto Shingo saw the team gathering in the field, he introduced: "The high school team's line play is published."
"First of all, a shortstop, Xiaoyuan Haidou, known as the speed of Baode Academy. This year, Jiaziyuan appeared and won the evaluation of the No. 1 shortstop in the scouts' high school."
"Then there are second basemen, second basemen, and Narama Daiki. The rate of play in the prefecture conference this summer is more than 80%. Shizuoka Prefecture people like to call hitting machines."
In this game, Supervisor Nagada Yuji arranged the order of attacks to maximize the strike level. The center line was the original arrangement of Osaka Kirige's championship.
Three sticks, Nakagawa Takaya.
Four sticks, Fujiwara Kyoda.
Five sticks, the roots are high.
Considering that the attack in the first half of the game might not be his turn, Takashi Nishino did not wear protective gear, shaking it slightly with the bat, warming up his wrist.
Then the live footage was given to Tetsu Nishino in the rest seat.
"Six sticks, DH, Takashi Nishino. The only one-year-old in U18, Kaziyuan scored 4 home runs in summer, and the catcher who is versatile offense and defense. The call for the strongest catcher of the next generation is getting higher and higher."
This game is played by international competition standards.
This means that unlike high school baseball ace finishing shots, the pitcher role of starting and relaying rescue and closing the goal will be reflected.
In the first half of the first inning, the high school team attacked first.
The starting pitcher of the university team is Tanaka Makoya, who is in third grade of Lijiao University. He studied Osaka Kirige and entered Kokoyuan in high school. When he was in second grade of high school, he won Kokoyuan with the team.
While practicing before the rest, Takashi Nishino asked Neono curiously.
"Senior Nei, the first one is Senior Tanaka. Have you ever greeted me before coming?"
Nenwei Ang smiled.
"Yes, Senior Tanaka said that we should personally check the level of several of us who were born in Osaka, and check it out for Teacher Nishitani."
"Of course, you, the 'Heisei last monster', senior Tanaka also said he would take it down."
"That's it." Takashi Nishino was looking forward and complained casually: "Senior Nei, it turns out that you can also say such a noun like that."
“…”
At this time, the radio broadcast of Meiji Shrine Baseball Stadium said: "In the first half of the game, the attacker of the high school team, the hitter on the field was a bat, shortstop, Koyuanjun."
When Xiaoyuan Haidou entered the attack area, his support song was immediately played on the stands on the third base.
The high school team's support today is supported by the Kanto No. 1 High School Blowing Music Club in Tokyo.
The support team of the university delegation is the joint support team of Meiji University, Tokyo University, Rikao University and Keio University.
