Chapter 72: Among the Top 4, Qingdao Is the Weakest!

Before the game against the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, the players of the Ximo High School baseball team gathered in their own rest area, looking at each other.

The game received a lot of attention, and the three teams that made it to the semi-finals all came to watch the game.

Some came with the whole team, and some sent scouts and team managers.

As the opponent of the next match, the Qingdao High School baseball team sent their deputy director Takashima Rei and Watanabe who was in charge of reconnaissance and intelligence.

Their players did not appear in the stands of this game.

For this game, the friends of Qingdao High School baseball team are not curious.

The Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team must have kept their hole cards, and the same is true for the Qingdao High School baseball team.

In this case, why didn't they come to watch the game live?

Don't you want to discover the hole cards prepared by Daocheng Industrial High School in advance?

Think, definitely want to.

As the number one mortal enemy identified by Qingdao High School in this competition.

Friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, in their dreams, they want to know in advance what cards the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team has prepared?

But what's the use of thinking?

They didn't think that relying on the strength of Ximo High School, they would be able to see the hole cards of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.

Instead of holding that kind of unrealistic fantasy, it is better to be honest and concentrate on preparing for the match with the opponent.

The boys from Daocheng Industrial High School's baseball team thought the same way, so even if they had enough time, they didn't go to the scene to watch the performance of Qingdao's boys.

After all, even the ace pitcher Eijun Sawamura didn't even pitch, so what could they see?

Everyone knows what the opponent can show in the game.

The confrontation between the two teams is not once or twice, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they know everything.

The information they leaked during the game was not as much as what they originally knew.

What reason do they have,

Watching opponents show off their might on the spot?

In addition to these three teams, many people from the previously eliminated teams also came to watch the game live. Not to mention the reporters, media and professional team scouts who came to the scene.

Apart from the Qingdao High School baseball game, this game is undoubtedly the most watched.

The grandstand with tens of thousands of seats was full of people.

The strength of Ximo High School is very good, and it was considered number one in Tokyo before.

But even so, they had never experienced such a hot scene before them.

It felt as if they themselves were going to be melted into this scene.

"I'm afraid there is no one at the scene who thinks we can win?"

A player from Ximo High School said with a wry smile.

His companions beside him rolled their eyes secretly.

They don't want to answer such idiotic questions.

The most eye-catching player in this competition is not the Qingdao High School baseball team, but Daocheng Industry, which lost in the previous spring competition.

As the runners-up of Koshien in the spring, they can be said to be the most promising to challenge the existence of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

As a result, in the spring competition, they were defeated early.

So much so that I had to start all over again.

Having lost their seed position, they will start playing from the first round of this tournament.

Although the performance at the beginning was excellent, it was also reasonable.

There is no way, Daocheng's opponent is too weak. Any strong team can easily win.

But after that, the Daocheng Industry High School baseball team performed better and better.

Sometimes, their main players can easily win the victory without playing.

As an ace pitcher, Naruto Naruto is more of an outfielder in the outfield position.

Rarely pitches to the mound.

The previous four games were basically supported by Hirano and the newly acquired first-year Chisong.

But even in the case of retaining the ace pitcher, the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team passed all the way in the previous game and easily crushed it.

The online media was full of hype, and countless experts jumped out to do professional analysis.

The result of the analysis is that in terms of overall strength, the Daocheng Industry High School baseball team is definitely not inferior to the Qingdao High School baseball team.

In other words, this is not news.

As early as in the spring, when Jiaziyuan just started playing, someone made such an analysis.

If the grouping of Daocheng Industrial High School wasn't so unlucky at that time, if it wasn't for Cheng Gongming, he would have burned out before he played against Qingdao High School's baseball team.

The results of the spring Jiashien finals are likely to be rewritten.

At this stage, if anyone can make enough impact on the Kings Seido High School baseball team in the regional competition in West Tokyo, it must be Daocheng.

Naturally, everyone should pay attention to such a team's game.

No wonder the scene is so lively.

The process and results of the competition were almost the same as everyone expected.

In this game, the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School was uncharacteristically, sending all its main players on the field.

This terrifying team, which has always retained its strength to crush its opponents in the previous games, was before playing against the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Showed his fangs!

If the game between them and the Qingdao High School baseball team was a decisive battle, then this game was regarded as a sacrificial flag by them.

Use Ximo High School as the head of the sacrificial flag.

Ace pitcher Cheng Gongming scored three strikeouts in a row.

From beginning to end, Ximo's hitters did not touch his ball.

On the other hand, when attacking, Daocheng Industry was also fully fired.

Karl Ross, who hit the first bat, hit a home run directly.

Help the team lead 1:0.

The hitters behind him were not to be outdone, they hit the ball one after another and scored one after another.

In the first game alone, they scored a full seven points.

7:0 ahead of the opponent.

It was only later that they learned about the performance of Pharmacist High School, otherwise they would have created a small miracle in this competition.

The performance of the two in the first game seems to be similar.

But it's actually quite different.

Pharmacist High School scored so many points in one breath after completely smashing the opponent's trump card.

In other words, they were able to score so many points in the first game, a lot of it was luck.

But Daocheng Industrial High School is different!

The ace pitcher of Ximo High School, although not as powerful as Maki.

But his personality is very tenacious, even if he has been ravaged, he never gave up the game.

Instead, he fought tenaciously.

The Daocheng Experimental High School baseball team was able to score so many points because of their strength.

7:0 in the first game.

In the second game, the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team made persistent efforts and scored another two points.

The score became 9:0.

In the third game, although Cheng Gongming was substituted. But Chisong, who was replaced, performed equally well.

The situation was held and no points were lost.

Not only that, they also scored a point.

Let the score become, 10:0.

In the fourth game, he worked hard and scored another full three points.

The score became 13:0.

This is also the last score of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School.

They broke out with all their strength, and without showing any hole cards, they scored a full 13 points simply relying on their incomparable strength.

The top eight players in West Tokyo didn't even last five rounds in front of them.

The strength of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School can be seen.

So far, the West Tokyo 1/4 finals are all over.

The top four places will also be determined.

In fact, as early as when the group came out, the top four in West Tokyo had already been determined.

Also fortunately for high school baseball games, there are no open lottery tickets for sale.

Otherwise, if someone really wants to buy the top four, the lottery organization will have to pay for it.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of high school baseball can basically guess the advanced teams in these four divisions.

See how strong these teams are?

Don't talk about their first game results, just look at their last game results.

That's enough to scare people to death!

Pharmacist High School 15:2, effective game ahead of five innings.

City junior high 7:0, the seven innings are effectively played ahead of schedule.

Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team 13:0, five innings ahead of the effective game.

King Qingdao High School baseball team 10:2, seven innings ahead of the effective game.

From this score, it can be seen that compared with their opponents, the top four teams in West Tokyo are not a little bit stronger.

To put it bluntly, these are completely teams of two levels of strength.

Baseball Kingdom magazine also made that point in its coverage the next day.

"The strong teams in West Tokyo have entered a stage of polarization. The teams that can reach the semi-finals are very competitive even in the national Koshien arena."

In the spring Koshien that ended before, three teams from West Tokyo participated.

Won the championship, runner-up and quarter-finals respectively.

This is also proof of what Fujio said.

Proud fans in Tokyo!

It is said that the game in West Tokyo is Xiaojiashien.

Looking at the game in West Tokyo by themselves, it is definitely not inferior to Koshien.

Looking at the four teams that are about to face each other, if any game is taken out, I am afraid that they will have the level of the Koshien finals.

As a member of Tokyo, they are proud of these teams.

Of course, there are also some good people who rank these four teams.

If they are ranked according to their previous record.

Even if the overall evaluation of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team is not inferior to that of Qingdao High School, it is because Qingdao High School won two consecutive Koshien and defeated Daocheng head-on twice.

So Qingdao High School is still ranked first.

The baseball team of Daocheng Industry High School, which had won the runner-up in the spring Jiashiyuan before, came in second.

In addition to this achievement, there is another thing that fully demonstrates the strength of this Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.

They are also the only team that beat the Qingdao High School baseball team in an official game this year.

From last spring to this competition. The only game Qingdao lost was to Daocheng Industry.

Because of this, they missed the champion of the autumn competition and the quota for the Jingu Conference.

With the remaining two rankings, although the city's junior high baseball team is a wealthy team, they lost to Pharmacist in the previous two matches.

So the ranking is inferior to the pharmacist, and can only be ranked fourth.

Pharmacist High School is ranked third.

Of course, according to different ranking rules, this ranking can also be changed.

For example, judging from their results in the quarter-finals, the rankings of the four teams may be about to reverse.

Daocheng, pharmacist.

Both ended games early in five innings.

So they are ranked first and second respectively.

Next is the city junior high school and Qingdao high school baseball team.

City University's game ended 7:0, and Seido High School baseball team's game ended 10:2.

Although from the point of view of goal difference, the goal difference of the Qingdao High School baseball team is one more than that of the junior high school in the city.

But it cannot be denied that Qing Dao lost points!

And the city's junior high school did not lose points.

If you really rank from this perspective.

That city's junior high school must be ranked above Qingdao.

The Qingdao High School baseball team has become the weakest of the four teams.
