Chapter 22: We Are a Team

Sawamura and Fengxiang originally thought that after the team was promoted, everyone's training should be more active.

But in reality, it doesn't seem to be the case. Since morning practice, the baseball buddies have been lethargic. On the second day, there were even cases of being late for training.

According to Feng Xiang's temper, he was prepared to be severely reprimanded.

Fortunately, Sawamura stopped him.

Although Sawamura doesn't know what happened to everyone? In my impression, even if Akagi kept losing in the previous life, everyone had a good time, and there has never been a situation where the training was not active.

Why now, after winning the game, everyone doesn't seem to be in high spirits?

After Sano found out, he was silent for a while, and said, "Everyone, probably realize the difference?"

"What difference?"

Sawamura asked in confusion.

Sano replied: "Although I don't know baseball very well, I can see that you should be the strongest in the team. Second-year Fengxiang and Oda are not bad either. The other players are almost all rookies who don't know anything about it."

"In the beginning, everyone got together for joy. The practice and competition brought only a sense of freshness and satisfaction, and everyone's enthusiasm was naturally high. But as the competition progressed, especially after meeting Shi Lun. They Finally, I clearly realize my incompetence, when they can't keep up with you, or when they think they are holding you back, they will inevitably fall into confusion..."

After all, Sawamura has lived in two lifetimes. Although his personality is still simple, he knows a lot.

Sano dialed a little, and he understood.

Friends, there should be a sense of gap.

Looking at his leading teacher with admiration, Sawamura extended his thumb and said to Sano, "The teacher is really smart!"

"There~"

Sano shyly touched his forehead, and there were a few sparse hairs on it.

Wait, don't you laugh at yourself for not having much hair when you say that you are extremely smart?

"You little bastard, stop for me!"

Sano was furious and was going to settle accounts with Sawamura, but there was still the shadow of Sawamura in front of him.

After Sawamura returned to the baseball club's activity room, he discussed it with Fengxiang, Oda, and Cang Yue, and decided to convene a meeting to give everyone an ideological and political lesson.

For a team to go far, it is not enough to rely on strength alone, but also to keep up with the mind. What Sawamura needs to do now is to help everyone unify their thoughts.

Tuesday night, after team practice.

"Don't leave in a hurry, let's discuss the team's future goals."

Sawamura took the initiative to propose.

Guys, your faces are heavy. According to previous habits, a dozen people surrounded the city in a large semicircle and sat on the ground on the playground.

Sawamura is on the opposite side of the circle and can clearly see each of the little friends.

Fengxiang, Oda and Cang Yue have always been very positive. Sawamura's younger brother, because he has stayed with Sawamura for a long time, is also very calm. Maybe in their opinion, it is just right to cause trouble to Sawamura.

They didn't want to play baseball, so Sawamura forced them to join, and they also helped Sawamura.

The most unusual performances are Yamaguchi and Fengliang.

When competing with Shi Lun, the two made more mistakes. The wind was cooler, but Yamaguchi made several mistakes.

The same is true now, the two kept their heads down and did not speak.

Sawamura sighed in his heart, and scenes from his previous life kept popping up in his mind. At that time, Yamaguchi and Fengliang were the two most active people in the team!

"We won the last game, and we haven't celebrated yet. I owe everyone what I owe. When we win the two games on the weekend, let's have a big meal together and celebrate."

Taking back his thoughts, Sawamura pretended to be relaxed.

Cang Yue's pink and tender face changed immediately: "It's easy to say, do you still have money?"

Sawamura's face was flushed red when he was questioned. The pocket money given by his family and the funds given by the principal had already been spent. Recently, he rubbed Cangyue for meals, and his pockets were much cleaner than his face now.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! I'll take Mr. Sano with me. Anyway, he's also our leading teacher. We've been training so hard for the competition, I think he's willing to pay generously."

Sano: My wallet is crying.

"Hahaha~"

A light-hearted topic, all of a sudden the team's previous feeling was brought back.

Yamaguchi and Fengliang also laughed. At this time, Sawamura, who was sitting across from them, was still the same Sawamura, and it didn't change them because of their lack of strength.

Sawamura let out a long breath.

The hearts of Yamaguchi and Feng Liang are extremely fragile and sensitive. Due to physical and vocal impairments, the two have been isolated from those around them. They finally joined a team, and naturally they didn't want to be treated the same as before.

This is why, before Feng Xiang wanted to reprimand them directly, Sawamura would stop him.

If it was Nakagawa Shin's stinky shameless, maybe Sawamura would have done it directly, and he would be beating around the bush?

"Before, I said that I want to lead everyone to the national competition!"

Sawamura said that before, but no one cared about it at the time. The whole country, that is the whole country, not a child playing a house. When the upper lip touches the lower lip, who can't brag?

But now, people don't think so.

Sawamura did show them enough strength, the strength of a national-level pitcher.

Those who have no strength say this is bragging, and those who have strength say it is different. That is called lofty aspirations.

"But I can't do baseball alone, so I need everyone's help. I hope everyone can help me and let's get to the National Championship together."

When Sawamura said these words with sincerity, Akagi's friends, whether it was Sawamura's previous teenage or who joined later, were very moved. Seeing that the meeting was about to express his aspirations with Sawamura, and the meeting ended successfully. But someone came out to shoot cold arrows.

"If you really aim for the national competition, wouldn't it be better for you to join a strong team?"

Oda frowned.

This question, he had been puzzled for a long time before. It is said that Sawamura has such strength. If he really pursues his dream with all his heart, he should go to a stronger place. Even if you don't go to big cities like Tokyo and Osaka, at least you have to go to Nagano Metropolis!

After all, Nagano Metropolis is the real cradle of baseball talent in Nagano.

Sawamura smiled bitterly. Of course, he had the answer to this question. But he couldn't say the answer.

He can't tell his friends: "I was born again, so I came here to pretend to be a coward and take you to fly..."

It is estimated that if he really said that, he will definitely be sent directly to the neurological hospital by the doctor. There, there are many people who have traveled through, been reborn, and traveled to Earth from outer space.

After hesitating for two seconds, Sawamura said in a low voice, "Because we are a team!"
