Diamond Ace: Another Story of Sawamura

·

If Kataoka, as the coach of Seidou High School at this time, said something like dominating the country, he would become a complete madman.

If he had done it, that would have been fine.

If he fails to do so, one can imagine what comments will be made.

"Hahaha!" Fujioka had realized how powerful Director Kataoka was. If he asked further, it would seem like he was ungrateful.

So the next topic turned to Bailong High School.

"Coach Sasaki is also in high spirits! I believe the next goal of Bailong High School is also very clear!"

"Of course." Sasaki smiled slightly, "Our goal is the same. First of all, we need to win the next game!"

Fujioka laughed and asked two more irrelevant questions before asking the two supervisors who were just playing word games to step aside.

Then the next players to be interviewed individually were announced, naturally the key players of the two teams.

The starting player for Qingdao is naturally the captain Yuuki Tetsuya...

As Jie Cheng was on the field, the LCD screen behind him immediately played wonderful footage of him hitting the ball continuously.

The last shot was the score-tying home run that hit the scoreboard in the last inning of the game against West Bon.

"A batter that even the pitchers in Koshien are unwilling to face head-on!" This was the conclusion Fujioka came to after looking at Yuki's data.

Judging from the data alone, Jie Cheng's batting average is not particularly high, but his on-base percentage is surprisingly high.

His deterrent power in the strike zone means that most pitchers will choose to walk him when facing him.

With a nearly 40% admission rate, it might even exceed that of Sano Shuzo to some extent.

"I heard that several professional baseball teams have already extended olive branches to Kaicheng classmates."

"I think there will definitely be another wave of excitement at the talent show!"

"His predecessor Dong Qingguo was picked in fourth place before. I think his performance should be even better than his predecessor!"

"It's hard to say, after all, the requirements of each team are different."

Judging from the discussions among the reporters below the stage, it is not difficult to see that the group has already made a name for itself just through this live interview.

"How do players usually practice swinging the bat?" Fujioka asked a question that everyone would be curious about.

Of course, the audience would be curious about how he usually practices swinging the bat to achieve such a good hitting result.

"From the first day I entered Seidou High School, I practiced swinging the bat 500 times a day, 300 times at school and 200 times at home."

What a simple answer...

Of course, this answer shocked everyone at the scene except the players from Seidou High School.

Five hundred times a day... That's nearly two hundred thousand times a year! Two and a half years, that's nearly half a million times...

You have to know that the human body has its limits. Excessive training will not only fail to increase your strength, but may even harm your body.

It's really a blessing from God that he didn't cripple himself with the training method he used.

Although Jie Cheng spoke in a stiff manner, without any passionate tone or expression, it seemed that the effect was compromised.

But it is his calm attitude that makes people believe it even more.

The host Fujioka was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

Frightened by Jiecheng's answer, he even forgot to ask Jiecheng other questions and invited the next contestant to come on stage.

"Next, let us invite Ryosuke Kominato, the 'devil hitter' of Seidou High School!"

Driven by his passion, many reporters actually applauded Ryosuke Kominato.

There are not many outstanding shots of Ryosuke Kominato, and his shots are mainly focused on his excellent defense.

But everyone present knew that what really made him famous was his performance against Xibang High School.

"Compared to Yusei, Kominato's achievements are not that impressive. Also due to his body size, he is not very convenient to do many things, but we have to admit that he has an extraordinary talent in striking skills..."

Fujioka's passion lies in the fact that he likes Ryosuke Kominato very much, and he spares no effort in praising Ryosuke Kominato.

"Everyone is very interested in your match with Niwa. I wonder how you felt in the batter's box at that time? Was it very exciting? Or were you confident?"

He actually bit the pitcher's ball and hit out twenty balls in a row.

"Honestly, I didn't think much about it."

"What?" Fujioka asked in surprise.

"Niwa's pitching was perfect in every aspect, with super fast speed and extremely accurate ball control. Just trying to hit his ball was very exhausting, so I could only do my best to tangle with him."

"I see! So your plan at that time was to drain Niwa's strength?"

"You could say that Niwa's pitching is one of the best we've ever played against. I didn't have any confidence, and the fact is that I just failed in my attack..."

At this time, Niwa, who was watching the live broadcast, looked at Ryosuke Kominato who was speaking seriously and said, "I don't believe you..."

Soon the interview with Ryosuke Kominato came to an end, and everyone got to know him.

Following the same pattern, Fujioka asked him to take a rest, and then invited the third player from Seidou High School.

"The twelfth catcher of Seidou High School, Takigawa Chris Yuu."

There aren't a lot of great shots of Chris, most of them are of him hitting.

Yes, the shots that a catcher can show him are really limited, and his truly brilliant performances cannot be shown by the shots.

But I can’t help but feel that he is so handsome!

His mixed Eastern and Western appearance gives him a unique charm, and when he is dressed in a suit, I wonder how many girls will be fascinated by him.

If Rong Chun saw this, he would be so fascinated!

"Player Chris is such a handsome guy!" Fujioka couldn't help but sigh, it really is good to be young!

"Although there are few opportunities to show his talents, among the professional baseball scouts I know, Chris's evaluation is second only to Kaisei, so he is quite popular!"

"Thank you!" Chris smiled softly, "Because now I just want to focus on the game."

Many people also believe that Chris's number will be twelve, probably because he has been injured before.

"I see, but I heard that a minor league has contacted you?"

They didn't expect Fujioka to be so persistent, and the reporters in the audience suddenly changed their minds.

Chris just smiled and said, "I think I am not strong enough, so I hope to continue to improve myself in my future studies."

“So, I haven’t considered my career path yet.”

Hearing this, many professional scouts in front of the TV who knew that their teams lacked good catchers sighed, but there was still a chance.

After he recovered from his injury, some minor league scouts did come to him eagerly, but Chris politely rejected them all.

He also told his father and supervisor about his decision.

Now that it's all out in the open, Fujioka also expressed his support to Chris.

"Next, let us invite the fourth player, he is Qingdao's 'second main catcher' Miyuki." Fujioka couldn't help laughing as he said this.

This nickname was not just something Fujioka came up with casually, it has its own unique origin.

Speaking of Seidou High School's match, Miyuki and Chris took turns playing.

You know, this kind of thing is very rare on the baseball field.

Just like an ace pitcher, he needs to rotate and rest, and also be extremely cautious.

As for the main catcher, I have never heard of any team that can change him at will!

There were people who gossiped about Qingdao High School's change of catcher, but before the gossip was finished, Qingdao High School's catcher performed various amazing operations and silenced them.

Standing in the catcher's position, Miyuki's presence cannot be ignored.

In the Tokyo area, Miyuki is also a well-known star player. The magazine "Baseball Kingdom" even gave him an exclusive interview and he was hailed as the savior of Qingdao.

Especially compared with his superb strength, his strange name is simply unbearable to look at.

In addition, Qingdao's performance in Koshien really confused many viewers.

"Substitute number two?"

They couldn't understand that such a catcher was a substitute.

"This... is simply the second strongest chief detective!"

"..." Chris was silent, so he emphasized catcher number 12 when introducing himself!

'It really connects the past and the future...'

'Why did I get the nickname 'Second Chief Inspector' for no apparent reason?' As for Miyuki himself, this nickname made him laugh and cry.

But Fujioka asked him what he thought of this title.

Of course Miyuki had his own thoughts, but what could he say in such an occasion?

No!

So he just smiled faintly and said some polite words.

He hasn't given up on the fight for the starting spot. There are still three games left before Chris graduates...

It doesn't make any sense for them to carry the numbers because there can only be one starter in the finals!

That match was the final battle between Miyuki and Chris.

"Second Chief Arrester!"

At this time, far away in Tokyo, during the live broadcast of the Inami Baseball Club, a yellow-headed man was leaning on the table and laughing uncontrollably.

"Is that guy's number just for show?"

"Hahaha!"

After introducing Miyuki, Fujioka keenly noticed that the breathing of the reporters around him became rapid.

This feeling is amazing, just like watching a horror movie, be prepared for the most exciting scenes...

"The next one is Seidou High School's monster pitcher, Furuya!"

"what?"

At this moment, the reporters didn't react at once. According to the current popularity, shouldn't Sawamura, who just finished the game, go first?

However, I think in the match with Teito, Fūya also stole the show.

The interview continues...

The interview went smoothly. After Qingdao's interview, Bailong's interview also had many highlights.

But until the interview was almost over, the person some people were waiting for did not show up.

Fujioka explained this doubt at the end...

"I'm sure someone has noticed that Seidou is still missing a player. Sawamura was unable to attend this event due to illness."

"It's a shame, but Director Kataoka said Sawamura will recover soon, so don't worry!"
