Chapter 40: Top 8 in West Tokyo

The Seido High School baseball team played in a game against Fuqia High School.

After five rounds of fierce fighting, the curtain finally came to an end.

As this era, the most watched team. Every game of the Qingdao High School baseball team can attract a lot of attention from everyone.

Even ordinary games are like this, let alone this game, which is destined to be remembered.

This is the fourth round of the West Tokyo Competition, which is the 1/8 finals.

The teams that can stay here to participate in the competition are all the top 16 teams in West Tokyo.

Their strength is beyond doubt.

With the exception of the Seido High School baseball team, no team has finished five innings early in a game at this level.

Those giants that performed particularly eye-catching before, such as Daocheng Industrial and the third high school of the city.

At best, they've played seven effective innings.

From this point of view, Wangwang Qingdao High School is unique.

This result is also in line with their current status.

The fans in the stands dare not say 100%, but 99% came to cheer for Qingdao High School baseball team.

Seeing the teams they support perform so well, they are all very excited.

Like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, they stood up and applauded.

That kind of momentum, even compared with professional baseball fans, is not inferior at all.

The reporters who came to visit the game even took their own cameras or video equipment, crackling and snapping pictures.

In this game, the Qingdao High School baseball team not only won the game, but there were also many memorable highlights in the game.

For example, as a first-year pitcher Wang Xi.

Although it doesn't look amazing, the results he has achieved are amazing.

Played the entire game as a freshman pitcher and dropped just one run in the process.

Qingdao High School Baseball Team,

The era of big devils and monsters is not over yet.

Rising stars have already emerged.

Of course, this deserves to be widely reported by friends from the media. Fans who like Qingdao High School must also be very interested in this point.

Wang Xi's performance is very good!

Seido High's baseball team also deserves a lot of hype.

It was the wonderful performance of these wild players that perfectly contained the opponent's attack.

This is not over yet, Miyuki, who is the country's No. 1 catcher candidate, played a role in this match.

The ability to play lines and seize opportunities to score has also improved a lot compared to before.

...

There are too many points that can be reported by the Qingdao High School baseball team, and there are so many points that people can't count.

With greedy gleams in their eyes, they recorded all these things for future use.

Why not now?

A very simple reason. Although the performance of others is very good, it is also very worth looking forward to.

But in this game, the most eye-catching person is someone else.

This person is Jiang Guxiao who served as the left fielder in this game.

Although his defensive performance is not satisfactory, his offensive performance is quite different.

Hit three times and hit two homers.

Such a performance is enough to make everyone feel ashamed.

There's even a bye home run with all the bases loaded.

The Qingdao High School baseball team only scored 11 points in total, and his young man scored nearly half of them, that is, five points.

Faced with Jiang Guxiao like this, people can only think of one adjective.

That's a big fight!

Although such characters occasionally appear in the real world, it is unprecedented for someone like Jiang Guxiao to be forced into it.

Has the top ball speed in the country, and has a 66% hit rate when hitting!

And it's all home runs! ! !

This kind of performance is simply cheating. When drawing baseball comics in the second dimension, I didn't even dare to write like this.

Isn't such a person worthy of publicity?

"If it wasn't for the Seido High baseball team, and the big devil Sawamura Eijun, this kid would have gone to heaven!"

"As long as I think of such a guy, he is not the trump card of Qingdao High School. I deeply feel the malice from this world."

"Yeah! How can such a guy not be an ace?"

"Then you think he should be the trump card?"

"Yes, of course! If such a person should not become an ace, then 99.99% of the teams in the country must replace their ace!"

"You mean, Supervisor Kataoka should give him the back number of Ace?"

"Of course not! I said he should be the ace, but I didn't say he should be the ace of Qing Dao!"

"Yeah, it's such a pity that such a person stays in Qingdao!!"

The vast majority of neutral fans are full of sympathy for Jiang Guxiao.

Many people, including the fans of the Qingdao High School baseball team, have such sentiments.

They feel that it was a mistake for Jiang Guxiao to join Qingdao High's baseball team.

Otherwise, with Gu Xiao's strength, how could he be a substitute?

Isn't this a joke?

That's often the case with people, they often don't see what the players think, they decide for the players, whether they should be happy or sad.

From their point of view, Jiang Guxiao should be quite disappointed.

This includes the reporter of Baseball Kingdom Magazine, Akiko Owada, who thinks so.

"Although I am a supporter of Sawamura, I still feel sorry for Furutani."

"You are not a fish in the river, how can you know the fun of fish?"

Fujio next to him listened and said something that Akiko Owada couldn't understand.

"Senior, what do you mean by this?"

Fujio resisted the urge to roll his eyes, turned and left the court.

When he was about to leave the stadium, he looked back at Jiang Guxiao in the stadium.

Sometimes Fujio also thinks about this question, is it good for Akira Furutani to be on the Seido High School baseball team?

It is said that this guy was admitted to Qingdao High School by virtue of his own strength.

If he knew that he could only be a substitute when he joined Qingdao High School, would he still choose to join?

I'm afraid not!

After all, this is human nature.

But Fujio still feels that he can join the Seido High School baseball team and meet Sawamura Eijun.

For the talented Jiang Guxiao, it is definitely not a bad thing.

People need to have goals and awe.

If Jiang Guxiao didn't have Sawamura Eijun beside him, would he be able to have the strength he has now?

In fact, it is an unknown.

Of course, this is Fujio's own idea.

As for Jiang Guxiao joining the Qingdao High School baseball team, was it a mistake?

This point is only clear to Jiang Guxiao himself...

Qingdao won! Big win! !

Still five effective games! ! !

I lost face in the first round, but my friends all recovered in this round.

Meanwhile, Akatsuki Furutani scored five runs with two home runs.

Also became famous!

As the fastest pitcher in the country, Jiang Guxiao's national reputation is not small.

It's just because there is Sawamura Eijun pressing down, so Fuguya Akatsuki doesn't seem to be that strong.

But this time, he made a name for himself.

Although as a pitcher, he is famous for his hits, it seems a bit unprofessional.

But to be famous is to be famous.

Two home runs for five, especially the final home run.

It was brought out when the team needed it most.

This is even more exciting.

After the game, the friends celebrated for a long time...

It seems that otherwise, there is no way to express the excitement in their hearts.

At the same time, other sub-arenas have also decided the winner one after another.

Daocheng industrial high school baseball team game site.

The game reached the seventh inning, and the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team led by eight points.

The score on the court was 9:1.

The pitcher was a first-year freshman who just joined Daocheng Industry this year, and he was carrying the pitcher No. 20 on his back.

Akamatsu Shinji.

He only lost one point, and his performance was not inferior to Wang Xi's.

"Stop playing, the competition at Qingdao High School is over. If you can't do it, then replace me!!"

The player area in Daocheng.

Cheng Gongming yelled, threatening to replace Chisong.

"Haven't you played before, kid?"

The head of the Daocheng baseball club asked angrily.

Cheng Gongming closed his mouth obediently, but still muttered a few words stiffly.

Akamatsu on the mound seemed to have heard Narimiya Naruto's words.

He confidently raised his smiling face and waved at Cheng Gongming.

Seido High's baseball game is over, and it's truly the king.

Even Akamatsu, who has just joined high school, has to admire this point.

There is no way, in this era, the name of the Qingdao High School baseball team is really too resounding.

Akamatsu, before joining high school, had seriously thought about this issue.

Do you want to accept the invitation of Qingdao High School baseball team?

That's right, it was an invitation from the Seidou High School baseball team.

In the end, Chisong chose Daocheng, which he had already decided on.

But the Qingdao High School baseball team still has a lot of excitement for him.

Just like now, after hearing the news that the Seido High baseball team had won, Akamatsu exploded again.

Beautifully scored the last number of outs.

Let the team beat the opponent 9:1 and end the game seven games ahead of schedule.

Cheng Gongming, who had no chance to play, was very worried about this.

On the other side of the court, the game of the Yaoshi High School baseball team came to the second half of the seventh inning after a bloody battle.

The score of the two sides is, 12:2!

The Pharmacist High baseball team leads the opponent by a full ten points.

The very gap has already explained everything.

The two teams are not at the same level at all.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

Most importantly, the Yakushi High School baseball team has never had their ace Sanada on the mound until now.

Two first-year pitchers took turns to play, so far, they have only lost four runs in total.

genius! Both guys are geniuses without a doubt.

One of them is very famous all over the country.

He was a very famous ace pitcher in the national team at that time.

Igarashi Sora, known as the great samurai!

A powerful guy who left an impression on Sawamura's mind!

In addition, the teams that won the quarter-finals in the West Tokyo Competition emerged one after another.

They are the Kings Qingdao High School baseball team.

The biggest enemy of the Qingdao High School baseball team at this stage is also said to be the team most likely to trip the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Nishitokyo Daocheng Industrial High School Baseball Team.

The last of the three giants, the city's junior high baseball team.

A rising star who just rose this year, the quarterfinals of Jiashiyuan in the spring.

Pharmacist High School baseball team.

In addition to these four teams with the highest strength, other powerful teams have also been released one after another.

For example, Ximo High School! Cheng Kong High School! Xianquan High School.

These are all teams with very high strength in West Tokyo. Although it can't be compared with the three giants, it is second only to the three giants and belongs to the second echelon.

In the top eight in West Tokyo, except for the three giants, Qingdao, Daocheng, and Shida.

In addition, there are Pharmacist High School, Chengkong Academy, Xianquan Academy, and Ximo High School.

These are all well-known teams in West Tokyo, and their last time, they can be ranked in the top 16 in the entire Tokyo.

In addition, there is one team that is particularly eye-catching.

They are also the biggest dark horses in this competition.

It was not well-known before, and it seemed that they were eliminated in the second or third round.

But this time it's different, they've made it all the way to the top 16, and now they're even in the top eight.

The name of this team is Youliang Comprehensive, and they are also the opponents of the Qingdao High School baseball team in the next round.
