"What fun is there on Treasure Island?"

"It is said that it is also a tourist place, there should be many good attractions."

"This is a layman, but I heard that the snacks there are simply unique."

...

Everyone on the plane was in high spirits. Talking about the Formosa International Youth Competition, everyone didn't seem nervous at all.

Including Supervisor Takeda, it seems that they all have the chance to win.

The ranking of the island nation in the World Series, although it has rarely won the championship in the past two years.

But because they go all out almost every time, the overall ranking is not bad.

Did not win the championship, basically second and third place.

In terms of points, it is 60 points higher than that in North America.

Temporarily ranking first in the world.

North America, the baseball kingdom, ranks second in the world.

The place they are about to go to, that is, Treasure Island, currently ranks third in the world.

In fourth place is Cuba.

In fifth place is South Korea.

You can basically estimate it by looking at this ranking.

Even in the five major baseball holy lands, there is a huge gap in strength.

Generally speaking, North America is regarded as the first echelon. Their strength is beyond other teams.

Followed by island countries, Baodao, South Korea and Cuba.

Strictly speaking, there is not a big gap in the strength of the first-line teams in these places.

In these places, the strength of the island countries is relatively higher.

Especially at the stage of high school, the island country is basically the number one in the world.

In world-class baseball games, there has always been such a saying.

The Little League looks at Treasure Island, the Youth League looks at the Islands, and the senior team looks at North America.

North America has the world's most classic sports major league.

This is absolutely unmatched by others.

The ranking of Baodao has improved in recent years, jumping to the third place in the world.

But their little league is very good, it's not something that happened after they climbed up the world rankings.

As early as when they were ranked fifth and sixth in the world, their Little League partners often won championships in the World Series.

In North America, among the youth baseball teams, except for the legendary dream team.

Other eras are not so good.

This has a lot to do with their technical characteristics.

Baodao, an island country, South Korea.

The strength of these Asian teams is certainly a very important part, but what they are even more outstanding is the application of tactics and skills.

On the North American side, they pay more attention to the cultivation of individual players.

After all, baseball is also a kind of sport. He has honed his physical fitness to the pinnacle level, and integrated swing and fielding into his bone marrow.

North American players who believe in this kind of baseball may not be able to fully demonstrate their strength in their youth.

But in adulthood, their strong physical fitness is paired with honed skills.

The strength is completely different!

Saying so much is actually to instill a concept for everyone.

The reason why these players on the plane are so relaxed is not without reason.

First of all, they are the strongest group of people in this age group.

Because of the existence of Koshien, Shimuni is well-known in the world in high school baseball.

Secondly, these players also have enough confidence in their own strength.

12 Heavenly Kings, Great Demon Kings, and endlessly emerging masters from all walks of life...

As far as the current era of the island nation is concerned, it is definitely an unprecedented era of superstars.

In the media, they even directly called them the Super Platinum Generation.

Their strength can be imagined.

Gathering all these top star players together, how can there be no reason not to win such a game?

certainly.

The reason why everyone is so confident,

It also has a lot to do with Sawamura leading the Seido High School baseball team on an expedition to North America.

Before that, the players in the island nation had not been so proud.

Although their strength is indeed very strong, they don't know what kind of level foreign players are?

In this case, of course they have no way to give in.

You are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but you are afraid of comparing goods. Before that, Sawamura Eijun led the Seido High School baseball team on an expedition to North America and played a game against the most prestigious dream team in North America.

Judging from that game, the Qingdao High School baseball team was not inferior at all, and there was no shame at all.

To put it bluntly, judging from the situation at the time, the two sides were evenly matched.

It was that game that gave the other players in the island country infinite confidence.

The Seido High School baseball team led by the big devil Sawamura alone can achieve such results.

If these guys play together, how can the record be so bad?

"Is everyone a little too optimistic?"

Of course, not everyone is so optimistic. Miyuki, who has fought against those guys in North America, is more worried.

People watch the game, generally all the passion is burned on the score.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Let's talk about it when we really meet a strong opponent."

It's not just Sawamura who has such an idea, but Supervisor Takeda also has the same idea. In fact, when he came out, Supervisor Takeda had said such things to the players under him, but almost everyone did not answer.

The original words of Supervisor Takeda are that everyone must be careful, and there must be no negligence.

Although our strength is indeed relatively strong, this era is an era of highly developed and transparent information technology.

Many of our matches can be found on the Internet, especially about Sawamura. Almost every school he goes to, the cafeteria in the school is empty.

Because of the existence of the Jiashien Competition, it is actually not difficult for the other party to get to know them.

Perhaps at the beginning, they did not measure the strength of the island country, and they might be negligent.

Once here, the island nation begins to show its full strength.

They said they still wanted to hide it, but it was impossible to hide it.

Not to mention North America, which is their biggest competitor, because Eiden Sawamura had gone there on an expedition with his friends from the Seido High School baseball team.

There is no one who doesn't know the big devil. Before knowing the shame and then being brave, they lost face when the Qingdao High School baseball expedition to North America, this time through cooperation and development.

"Forget about the soldiers coming to cover up the water and the soil, there is no use for us to worry about here, let's enjoy it."

Sawamura Eijun closed his eyes while talking.

Although he said that in his mouth, he was actually very clear in his heart.

For the island country, I am afraid it may not be so smooth sailing.

As far as Sawamura knows, there are not a few outstanding baseball players who have emerged during this period.

And not just in the island nation.

Formosa, Cuba, Europe...

Many outstanding players have emerged from all over the country.

With the North American Dream Team as the core, people call the players at this stage the blowout year.

This also means that everyone officially recognizes their existence.

Everyone admits that the players who have entered professional baseball in the past few years are all very good.

There used to be such a saying, from the 1990s to the beginning of this century.

Human life span and physical fitness ushered in a huge leap.

For example, the overall average life expectancy of human beings is more than 50 years old.

Basically, it can reach seventy or eighty now.

In sports, records are broken one after another.

Specifically on the baseball field, more and more talented players have emerged recently.

Their strength is so strong that ordinary people can't even imagine it.

The sudden emergence of so many talented players on the baseball field is probably also affected by this.

Looking around at the little friends who were still talking and laughing, Sawamura Eijun really didn't know what to say.

Some things, even if he said them earnestly now, will not have any effect in the future.

Everyone must be doing what they should do. This is human nature.

If they don't let them feel the pain, they won't realize it.

Although Sawamura Eijun was worried in his heart, he never showed anything on the surface.

After all, these things may also be his unfounded worries.

Players in the blowout year started to become famous in the draft.

In the end, as those players performed better and better, the name of the blowout year became bigger and bigger.

There is still a long time before that period, and Eijun Sawamura can't guarantee that this will happen.

He told everyone in advance, and there is no evidence.

Furthermore, in case these guys haven't awakened by now.

Isn't that a big oolong?

Baseball players, especially those who play well, can quickly hit a wall.

This is something that almost every outstanding player will encounter.

After several hours of flight, the plane stopped in Taipei City.

"Warmly welcome friends from all over the world to come to Baodao to participate in the competition..."

When they got off the plane, they saw the sponsor's banner.

"This way, this way."

Along with the banner, there is also a rather handsome young man who leads the way for everyone.

"Let's go to the hotel to rest first. Sorry, the translator hasn't come yet. Does any of you speak English? English?"

Of course there are those who can speak English, but those who can communicate fluently in English are relatively rare.

"Lead the way! We! Follow!"

Sawamura Eijun stepped forward and gestured briefly.

His language talent is average, although he followed his manager and learned some Chinese briefly.

But still can't tell.

Later, I consulted an expert, and my listening skills improved a lot.

The method taught by that expert is very simple, you only need to memorize a few hundred simple words. Then combine the scene at the time and the tone of the other party.

Even guessing, you can basically understand what the other party means?

At the beginning, Sawamura Eijun didn't quite believe it.

Later, I gritted my teeth and really memorized these hundreds of simple vocabulary.

Since then, he has communicated with both his friends in mainland China and his manager.

The other party can speak in Chinese, and he can basically understand it.

Then he expressed it in English.

Or express yourself with these hundreds of simple words.

Fluent conversation is certainly not an option, but simple communication is fine.

With more exchanges like this, Sawamura understands more Chinese. Before Chen Ping just joined the school, Sawamura even comforted him in Chinese.

"Can speak Chinese, great!"

The person in charge of the organizer breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately led the contestants from the island country to the hotel.

In the process of going to the hotel, everyone looked around and saw a lot of small shops.

Some of these small shops sell commodities and department stores. More are the kind of specialty shops.

Even through the glass window, you can smell the fragrant smell.

"These foods must be good."

Kuramo asserted.

Sawamura Eijun didn't doubt this at all.

This can almost be regarded as the culture of Baodao.

Whether they are shopping or eating, they are very convenient.

Friends no matter where they live, just go downstairs, one or two blocks at most.

Basically can solve all problems.

Whether you want to eat or buy something, it's the same.

Such an environment is quite attractive to the young partners.

"After the game is over, we must have a good time here."

At this time, some friends have already started to discuss things after the game.

"How can there be such freedom, after the game is over, it will be almost time for school to start."

"This is all impossible!"

Everyone lamented their suffering, while proudly showing off.

After all, if others want to suffer as much as they do, they have no chance yet.

Man is indeed a very strange creature.

After returning to the hotel, the guide will go back.

Before leaving, let everyone get ready tomorrow afternoon and the morning after tomorrow.

There will be an opening ceremony and group draw.

For a total of one week, a total of 13 teams fought against each other.

The one who can stay at the end is the number one in the world.

Because the ranking is relatively high, the selection is a single knockout round.

So the island country, North America, and Treasure Island, these three teams didn't have to fight at all in the beginning.

Advance directly to the top 8.

The remaining 10 teams will fight each other, and 5 teams will win, and these 3 teams will form the top eight teams.

Then catch each other and fight each other, pk after game.

The team that stays at the end is number one in the world.

This rule is quite reasonable, combining the seed selection system and the actual situation of each team.

It looks very nice.

Everyone is very satisfied with this allocation. After thinking about leaving, everyone rested in the hotel. While resting, they were also discussing their opponents this time, North American Cuban Treasure Island, Han, the characteristics of these teams What exactly is it? What kind of strength do they have? Everyone compared them one by one, and then analyzed them. The results of the analysis are quite beneficial to them. For such things, Fukuda’s supervisor is very familiar with it, and the assistant coaches are also very skilled. The information they produced is very professional. , and for Sawamura and Jianzhuan, these things were very strange to them before, even though they had won the championship before, they still have.
