Chapter 536: Fan Club
early morning.
Shirayama Town.
There were croaking insects on the farmlands on both sides of the road, and the sound of gurgling water echoed in the drainage canal.
Street shops have successively opened up the doors and are preparing to start a new day of work.
Pedestrians and vehicles occasionally shuttle on the road.
In the quiet streets between residential areas, three young boys were whispering.
"Baishan is really a countryside."
“It’s not easy to find a house that is more than two floors.”
"We went so early, did the baseball department start to move?"
"Absolutely, they train very early every day."
The three of them spoke in different accents, but they did not speak Japanese, but Chinese Mandarin.
The three young people are tourists from China and students in Japan.
Although Xiao Xi, Zhan Shifang and Qu Sheng have different origins in different schools, their common point is that they all like baseball.
In China, baseball is a niche sports event, and relatively few people know about it.
The reasons why these people like baseball are different.
Some of them played when they were young, some of them were caught watching anime, and some of them became interested after watching edited game videos.
In addition to the common point of baseball fans, another important reason why they appeared in Shirayama Town is that they are all members of the Chinese Fan Club of the baseball department of Shirayama High School.
It is said that it is a fan club, but it is actually a chat group of dozens of people, and the members gathered through various channels and platforms.
The men's hard baseball department of Mie Prefecture Baishan Higher Education College is their home team.
As a well-operated baseball event, it is not surprising that Japan High School Baseball has a group of followers in other countries.
People like baseball, Xiao Xi, Zhan Shifang and Qu Shenghua like baseball. In addition to paying attention to Japanese high school baseball, they also pay attention to professional baseball events such as American, Japanese and Korean.
Of course, their most important purpose today is to visit the baseball department of Baishan High School.
Like Akita Tornado Kinzuno High School, the White Mountain High School, which was the second-largest player in the dark horse posture, entered the semi-finals of the Hague quarterfinals last year, has really attracted a wave of fans from the Chinese Takano fan group.
Among them, Shiratsuyama High School’s main player Tetsu Nishino is the most popular active high school player among Chinese Takano fans.
He looks handsome.
Awesome figure.
The style of playing is heroic.
Anyone who has seen Tetsu Nishino play basketball is attracted by his full viewing style.
but.
Another important reason why Tetsu Nishino is several levels more popular among Chinese Takano fans is his Chinese identity.
Nishino Tetsu's real name is Zhang Zhe. He is a Chinese-Japanese mixed-race Chinese. His father is Chinese and his mother is Japanese.
When he was a child, he entered kindergarten to register for registration, his mother temporarily became a Japanese citizen. Since the registration name must use a Japanese surname, his mother filled in his mother's surname Nishino.
The identity of Tetsuo Nishino's Chinese subdivision gives Chinese fans room to imagine.
The World Baseball Association is committed to promoting baseball to various countries and formulates a series of game rules that are beneficial to small baseball countries.
Players who play in the World Baseball Classic only need to have the national origin. Even if they are not of the national origin or have represented other countries, they can still play on behalf of the national team where the bloodline is located.
The Chinese national baseball team has recruited many foreign Chinese players to play.
For example, Chinese-American Zhang Baoshu (Ray g), Korean-American Zhu Quan (Ju Kwon), Chinese-American Chen Yongcai (Bru), Chinese-American Japanese-American Hide Okamura, etc.
Therefore, fans such as Xiao Xi, Zhan Shifang and Qu Shenghua are looking forward to whether Nishino Takashi will join the Chinese national baseball team to play one or two major competitions at the end of his career.
Although it is just an imagination, with such a relationship, they are firm philosophers of Nishino.
As we chatted on the way, the three of us walked the long ramp and came to the Baishan High School Baseball Stadium.
There is one side of the baseball field near the road and is separated only by barbed wire walls.
"Wow!"
"I feel it!"
"That's how high school baseball is." Qu Shenghua said excitedly.
He just finished the college entrance examination this year, and took advantage of the summer vacation to travel to Japan to visit the high school baseball and Baishan that inspired him.
On the other side of the entrance to the baseball stadium, two marble monuments that are one meter square are placed outside the fence, with large lacquered characters engraved on them.
[Episode 100th Memorial Conference for the Appearance of the Player Rights]
[Episode 91st Selection Conference Commemoration]
The monument also contains small characters Fang Zheng, which records the specific information of the attendees and the final results of the conference.
"Xia Chun appears continuously, Baishan Niu Chuang!"
"Take the camera out."
"Start the filming."
"Photo more high-definition shots." Xiao Xi said.
This time they are going to record a few visiting Vlogs. After returning to China and edit them, they will be posted online to share with their fellow friends.
After taking a picture of something outside the court, the three of them continued to walk to the fence.
"One two! One two!!"
"One two! One two!!"
The players from the baseball department of Baishan High School were running neatly on the court.
Zhan Shifang suppressed his excitement, held the camera and found the angle of the picture, and took the crowd in front of him.
The other two people took photos with their mobile phones and the other was taking photos with their GoPro, which made them very happy.
It was at this time.
Qu Shenghua suddenly said excitedly: "Hey! Brother Xiao! Brother Zhan, look at what's hanging there?!"
"What... so excited."
Xiao Xi and Zhan Shifang looked in the direction they pointed,
"Damn!"
"Instant tears!"
"It smells like that!"
I saw eight large publicity boards hanging high on the outfield fence of the stadium. It was a simple sentence to read them together.
【ここかぉぉへ】
(From here to Japan)
Such propaganda signs were hung high on the fence, and below were the high school players who were carefully training and sweating.
Such a scene made the three of them feel like they were recharged with passion in an instant.
"I remember watching the documentary before, there was no slogan."
"It must have been installed recently."
"Baishan is going to win the championship this summer!"
"It's impossible not to support it!"
"Damn, Xia Tian wants to see the entire journey, but his wallet doesn't support it."
"Go to Japan again after entering Jiaziyuan. The Hague schedule is only half a month."
Several people were having a lot of chatting here, but it did not affect the players who were training on the court, because there were a group of people who came to visit like them on the sidelines.
Gradually, Xiao Xi and the others also found that there seemed to be a lot of people on the sidelines, so they went to ask and learned that Baishan High School would conduct an exercise test later.
“TOHO?!”
"Damn, isn't that Dongbang?"
"It's true, it's the Spring Jia champion."
Xiao Xi and the others immediately felt that choosing to visit the weekend was the most correct choice, but they just happened to encounter a strong duel practice competition.
After waiting for half an hour.
As expected.
A bus drove into Baishan High School, and then a group of players wearing white black uniforms got off the bus, exchanged some greetings and rested, and went to the stadium to warm up.
Because this exercise was reported to Shirayama High School to Mie Prefecture Takano Company, Takano Company sent a referee team to assist in the competition and will archive the game records after the game.
It took about a while.
The members of the baseball department of Baishan High School worked hard to prepare the venue. The manager and the game recorder went to the scoreboard to write the information of the starters of the two teams.
"Um?!"
Chapter completed!
