the next day.

Since today is a day of rest, Baishan players did not do much training, and they conducted simple tactical exercises that day.

Minister Makiko Kawamoto and Supervisor Toshitao declined the recording requests from other TV stations, allowing Haka's official Asahi TV station to enter the field to shoot, and the crew promised that the filming content would only be broadcast after the game.

The coaching staff has agreed results for tomorrow's starting pitcher candidate.

If nothing unexpected happens, Matsuye Lixin should be the first to board the board.

Because Kazuya Nishino has just returned and his pitching status has not been determined, and his pitching style may be restrained by his opponent, so for caution, Matsuba Rishi starts.

However, there are hidden dangers when Matsuye Lixin takes the lead.

In the three rounds two days ago, he made the seventh game, which almost consumed a starting energy.

According to the International Baseball Association's constitution, young pitchers under the age of 18 should rest for at least four days if they pitch between 80 and 100 goals in a single game.

Even with an additional rest day, Matsuya Rishi only took two days off between the two games, but it was still not enough.

The characteristic of Jiaziyuan in summer is that the schedule is tight. Compared with the pitchers who made consecutive shots every day, it is a great improvement to be able to rest for additional days.

After the training, Zhang Zhe planned to continue studying the information of Luzheng Society.

At this time, Minister Kawamoto came to find him and asked with a smile: "Xiaozhe, are you interested in participating in variety shows?"

“Variety show?”

"That's right. Several TV stations called to ask, wondering if you are interested in playing some variety shows?"

The last five-double home run made Zhang Zhe's reputation even higher, so some TV stations intend to invite Zhang Zhe to participate in their program later. Now let's ask what their intentions are.

Of course, most of these shows are related to high school baseball.

"I'm very hard-working about recording the show. Minister, please help me turn it off first."

Zhang Zhe shook his head. He didn't plan to develop skills in the art world. It would be fine to let him accept an interview, but it was really troublesome to let him on the show.

If you have all the time, it’s better to spend more time training.

In the past, things related to TV stations were at most interviews, or were followed by the recording team for a period of time and made into short documentaries. That was a relatively simple thing.

"Do you really push it all away?" Minister Kawamoto said with a smile, "There is a show you should be interested in."

Zhang Zhe disagreed. He didn't want to read lines to the station book on the show.

"In this way, there is a TV station that plans to make the second half of the anime "Diamond Ace". If you accept the invitation, they say they can ask the author to help you draw a figure painting as a gift."

It happened that Zhang Zhe, who was a fan of A, suddenly became interested.

But he was embarrassed to change his words, so he had to say shyly: "Why don't you please help me with your questions first. The conference is over and I will reply to them if I have time."

After talking about the topic, Minister Kawamoto Masako no longer disturbed Zhang Zhe's preparations.

night.

Looking through the information, Zhang Zhe got up and stretched, then walked around for a while.

Zhang Zhe walked to the window and found that Pine Ye Lixin was swinging a white towel in the yard to simulate pitching.

“Huh?”

A very rare scene.

Previously, Senior Matsuye went to bed early. Was he nervous before the game?

The psychological state of his own pitcher needs to be paid attention to at all times. Zhang Zhe immediately ran away and stood aside calmly.

Song Ye Lixin noticed that Zhang Zhe was next to him, and was still shaking a white towel until he was sweating slightly.

"Xiaozhe, did you disturb you?"

"No, I'm tired of reading the information, so I'm down for a walk."

Matsuye Lixin said frankly: "It's been a long time since this happened. The night before the game, I felt a little nervous. Now I'm sweating and I feel much more relaxed."

"Tomorrow may be my last game."

"Thank you, Xiaozhe, over the past year."

When he learned that he was the starter in the semi-finals, Matsuba Rishi knew that maybe this was the last starter in his high school career.

If Shirayama High School can advance to the finals, the starting pitcher must be Kazuya Nishino who is the No. 1 player.

But if Matsuya Rishi's performance is not good in the semi-finals, the team's plan will be disrupted.

The long-lost Matsuye Lixin felt a sense of tension and responsibility again.

After being abandoned for nearly two years, Matsuye Lixin is very grateful to Zhang Zhe for trusting him from the beginning, allowing him to slowly regain his enthusiasm for playing baseball.

Tomorrow's game is the best reward.

"Senior..." Zhang Zhe heard the feeling of saying goodbye from Songye Lixin's words.

Third and second grades, seniors and juniors, pitchers and catchers.

There is no summer that never ends in the world.

Partners who fight side by side will always have a day of separation.

When Baishan's pitcher's combat power fell to a low point last fall, Matsuye Lixin filled the gap in the main pitcher. Without him, there would be no Chunjia of Baishan's first appearance.

Zhang Zhe wanted to say thank you, he should say it himself.

But before the first word was said, Matsuye Lixin interrupted his mouth and said with a gentle smile.

"If you want to say thank you, let's wait until you reach the final tomorrow."

...

August 20.

morning.

Hanshin Kaziyuan Stadium.

Above the large screen wall of the scoreboard behind the middle and outer fields, two long strips of different colors flutter in the wind.

【Sanchong County Baishan Higher Education Institution】

【Osaka Private Ramatsu Club Higher Education Institution】

As soon as he entered the rest seat, according to previous practice, Zhang Zhe told everyone to take out the protective gear and place it neatly on the open space in front for the referee to inspect.

The referee checks the protective performance of the protective gear one by one, and after confirming that it is qualified, the player will take it back.

While warming up on the field, Kazuya Nishino and Ritsushi Matsuba both entered the bullpen to pitch.

Kazuya Nishino secretly said why he didn't let him start, and he also wanted to win the starting position in the finals and finals.

In fact, it is precisely because Nishino Kazuya is eager to fight that Totakuji supervises them and does not want them to start the first as soon as they come back.

The coaching staff’s idea is to focus on stability.

Since it had rained before, the inland area needed to replenish dry sand, and it took a long time to prepare the site.

Zhang Zhe paid attention to the Luzheng Society arrest warm-up group and found that the one who warmed up with their catcher captain was not the main pitcher, but a second-year pitcher who had not taken the board in Hagar.

"It's strange."

"Did they send someone else to start?"

Zhang Zhe's guess was quickly verified.

On the starting list displayed on the large screen of the scoreboard, the second-year Iwasaki Junidi is on the pitcher position of Luzhengshe.

This candidate is different from Baishan's pre-match prediction.

At first Bai Shan thought that the first candidate for Luzheng Club would be two third-grade main pitchers, but the result was this second-year student of No. 17, who had never been on the board.
