"It's the king of Qingdao! The champion of the Jingu Tournament is the Qingdao High School baseball team in Nishitokyo!"

On the TV, it was still playing, the Jingu contest that had just ended.

The Qingdao High School baseball team, after winning an unprecedented three consecutive championships, followed by a major championship.

For the players in West Tokyo, all the important competitions they participate in are the spring competition, the Kanto competition, the summer competition, the summer Koshien, the autumn competition, the Jingu competition, and the spring Koshien held in the spring.

Within a year, a team that has won these seven championships in a row is called a Grand Slam winner.

The second-year main player of the Qingdo High School baseball team.

Led by Sawamura Eijun, including five contestants, Kaguya Xiao, Kominato Haruichi, Kanamaru Shinji, and Tojo Hideaki.

They started from Koshien in the spring and went all the way, winning the Spring Festival Koshien, the Tokyo Spring Competition, the Kanto Conference, the West Tokyo Summer Competition, the Summer Koshien, the Autumn Competition, and the Jingu Conference.

7-time champion!

Become a well-deserved Grand Slam player.

In fact, people were prophesying as early as the Qingdo High School baseball team became an unprecedented legendary overlord.

How far will Qingdao go in the future?

Super Grand Slam!

Four consecutive championships in spring, five consecutive championships in summer, or six consecutive championships and seven consecutive championships?

Say anything, as a die-hard supporter of the Qingdo High School baseball team. Fans are of course looking forward to the journey of the Qingdao High School baseball team going further and further.

The more brilliant the process, the better!

But this is not in line with the law. According to past experience, there will always be dark horses behind the scenes.

Even the mighty Qingdo High School baseball team is bound to face challenges.

To be honest, the challenge is really not small.

At the beginning of the autumn competition, the Qingdao High School baseball team suffered a big loss.

Sawamura, who had just participated in the World Invitational and rushed back to the team, was not directly arranged to play.

Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Luohe meant to let him rest first.

On the one hand, it is to let him adjust his state, and on the other hand, it is also to not consume his physical energy and potential too much.

The matter of Chris left a great psychological shadow on Supervisor Kataoka.

If possible, he would never let Sawamura consume his potential endlessly.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Guxiao lost two points at the beginning.

Although he later recovered, his cooperation with Okumura became more and more skilled.

Successfully stopped the opponent's offensive and scored a series of strikeouts.

But the opponent's strength is also very unusual.

Last year, they were all first-year students, and they caused a lot of trouble for the Qingdo High School baseball team.

Now, they have practiced for another year, and their strength has risen even more.

The players of the Qingdao High School baseball team had no way of attacking the boy who pitched with a submarine in a short period of time.

The game dragged on until the 7th game, and Kominato, Tojo, and Okumura showed their power one after another.

This helped the team score two points and tie the score.

At the end of the game, Sawamura, who did not have any assignments to play, was appointed by the supervisor Kataoka to play.

Helped the team win 5-2 with a clean home run.

The first game was so exciting.

Can the Qingdao High School baseball team achieve as many ambitious goals as everyone thinks?

Suddenly became uncertain.

Fortunately, there are only a few teams like the first round.

Most of the opponents were crushed under the devastating attack of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

They made it to the finals without a hitch!

Both City University and Daocheng performed poorly because of the lack of trump cards.

They didn't even make it to the top 4, and they were out early.

Although the rising stars of the two teams, the performance is remarkable. It can be seen that, give them some time, their future is absolutely unlimited.

But for now, they are no longer qualified to challenge Qing Dao.

Among the old-fashioned giants, only Qing Dao and Pharmacist left so many absolute main players in one breath.

Like fate, the two teams met before the final.

Their respective opponents, Ujimori and Teto, were beaten badly in the face of their strong attack.

Aojima and Ujimori even played a 11:2 disparity score.

7 innings to end the game early.

Di Dong's situation was not much better. Although their line-up took three points from Pharmacist, they also lost seven points.

The total score is 7:3!

You know, this is still in the case of Pharmacist High School, which retains two trump cards.

Their ace pitcher Igarashi and the super strong known as the monster battered Thunder City.

All did not play!

The remaining opponents still abused Tedong High School, known as the King of East Tokyo.

Didong's failure made many people unable to believe it.

In people's impressions, this is a super strong team that can compete with the three major powers in West Tokyo.

And they are very different from Daocheng and Shi, they retain their ace pitchers.

With the little sun around, their strength would not be so inferior.

But that's what it is.

Just relying on Mukai Taiyo's strength alone, he can't lead Didong forward.

He lacks a catcher who can help him play his role.

When no one can catch his three-dimensional pitching, his strength is under seal.

This situation is the same in Qingdao.

If there was someone on the Qingdo High School baseball team who could catch Sawamura's ball perfectly.

Then they are invincible!

But now, the three catchers in Qingdao High School obviously do not have such ability.

So their situation is not so optimistic.

After encountering a pharmacist, it is completely unknown whether he can win the battle in the end.

The game between the two teams started, and they were all on fire.

The supervision of the Pharmacist High School baseball team, in order to win, even chose to walk Sawamura all the way.

He knew very well that as long as he gave Sawamura a chance to strike, they would lose!

Therefore, Sawamura must not be given a chance, and he must be restricted from death.

At the beginning of the game, the Qingdo High School baseball team was indeed at a great disadvantage.

The players are also very depressed, they feel that they are completely unable to use their hands and feet.

In this situation, they waited until the Qingdao High School baseball team sent their secret weapon, Chen Ping.

No one else steals bases to help the team score the first point.

Like dominoes, this point is like a lever.

Pharmacist High School, which seemed to be extremely powerful, was just shaken.

Qingdao scored points one after another, although in the final period, they lost a point because of Okumura's missed call.

But in the end, they still defeated the pharmacist with a score of 4:1 and won the championship.

The pharmacist was also in good spirits, and successfully defeated his opponent in the battle with the fifth place in Kanto.

Won another place in the spring Jiaziyuan.

Born in the same era as the Qingdo High School baseball team, especially the same era as the Great Demon King Sawamura.

These talented players on the Pharmacist High School baseball team are really unlucky.

But can't stand the strength of others!

Gold always shines, even if there is a huge golden mountain in front of it, as long as the gold is bright enough, it will still attract attention.

This was the case at Pharmacist High School. Even under the suppression of the Qingdao High School baseball team, they still participated in Koshien twice.

The achievement is nothing short of brilliant!

Superintendent H was also greatly relieved.

Although he was born in the same era as Sawamura, the light of his precious son has dimmed a lot.

But fortunately, luck did not come home.

With the experience of these two Jiaziyuan, plus the world championship won before.

The future of Honglei City is destined to be bright.

Not to mention the teams in the island country, I am afraid that even the major league teams will be very interested in him.

With the holding of the new competition, many new generation players have emerged in the Tokyo area and all over the country.

Although these players are not yet qualified to challenge Sawamura, Thunder City and Hong Kong.

But compared to those other star players, it is not much worse.

I believe that by the summer of next year, there will be a large wave of challengers.

Exciting to think about it!

For players who are already in the third grade and are about to graduate.

Their views on the Autumn Tournament and the Jingu Tournament were a little more calm from outsiders.

In their view, these games are nothing to watch.

Although there are many new-generation players, Sawamura, who became the top player in high school in the first year, became the first in high school in the second year compared to the first year.

Their strength is really far behind!

The two sides are not comparable at all.

The significance of this competition is that the champion is destined, and others rely on luck to compete for the second place.

Don't get me wrong, it means literally.

It is impossible to win the championship. Even if you want to win the runner-up, it depends on luck.

If you're not careful, you'll end up in a group with the Qingdao High School baseball team.

It's impossible to reach the final!

The team that met Qingdo in the first round was definitely ranked in the top 4 in the entire Tokyo area in terms of strength.

Whether it is Ukumori or Teto, there is no advantage over others.

But so what?

Who made them unlucky, they met Qingdao at the beginning and could only go home early.

Of course, in the end, the organizing committee invited them to participate in the spring Jiaziyuan by means of special recruitment.

Is it lucky or unlucky to meet Qingdao in advance?

This topic is also very difficult to say.

Jingu Stadium.

On the fourth day after the Jingu Competition ended, another group of talented players appeared here.

Not just in Tokyo, but all over the country who have performed well in the competition.

At least half of them appeared here.

In addition to these high school star players, there are many college graduates.

After a while, that is January of the following year.

The new professional draft is about to begin!

This time, the organizers of the professional draft have followed the call of the times.

The contestants who were about to participate in the draft were deliberately gathered in advance, and a selection event similar to a reality show was organized.

Allow them to perform in this event.

Because of the high school competition system, many powerful players have not even played in their own regional competitions.

They have very little performance in public.

The organizers did this, on the one hand, to earn ratings, and on the other hand, to give these players a chance to get ahead.

"Jingu Training Camp!"

Including 270 high school players and 130 college players.

A total of 400 players will be randomly formed and selected layer by layer.

In order to reward these players, the organizers gave bonuses and offers of free choice of teams.

The most valuable player, with a bonus of 10 million.

From the second to the tenth, the bonus is 3 million.

Tenth to twentieth, the bonus is 1 million.

And so on, even the smallest, the bonus is more than 100,000.

It is rude to say that the organizers have invested their money.

The players who came to the training camp naturally gathered together according to their familiarity with each other.

The twenty or so players who were born in Tokyo naturally gathered together.

"It feels like a long time no see!"

"It won't take long to say..."

"I didn't expect Yang Shunchen to come. I thought he would go to college."

"Sorry, school isn't as fun as baseball."

"Aren't your parents against it?"

"I convinced them!"

Hearing this, people gave Yang Shunchen a thumbs up.

Although they were also called adults, they challenged their parents.

They obviously don't have that confidence yet.

"What about Bai He, I thought he would also come to the professional draft?"

"That guy, went to college! Baseball is not everything."

"That's a pity, his talent..."

These star players in Tokyo are basically serious baseball fanatics.

There is nothing more exciting than being able to play baseball for a lifetime.

So if possible, they generally choose to participate in the professional draft.

For example, Miyuki, Maeyuan, Yamaguchi, Kawakami, and Kuramochi from Qingdao.

They all chose to participate in the professional draft~www.wuxiaspot.com~ With their record in the Qingdao High School baseball team, they have no worries about not having a home.

Like Miyuki, he will basically be drawn in the first round.

The situation in Daocheng is similar. The most powerful players basically choose to participate in the draft.

Those who did not participate were mostly due to their own lack of strength.

Star players like Shirakawa did not participate in the professional draft and went to college.

Such people can not say no, but only a very small part.

Probably about thirty to forty percent.

When everyone chatted, they all looked like they couldn't help but sigh.

These guys consciously avoided the Shrine Conference that had just ended.

No way, if you don't talk about the Jingu meeting, you naturally don't need to discuss that person.

Not to discuss that person, everyone is very comfortable, they are all star players, and they are not ordinary star players.

Once that person is discussed, their achievements and pride are worthless in an instant.

So everyone, including the players from the Qingdo High School baseball team, didn't discuss the Jingu meeting.

At this moment, a tall figure walked into the crowd.

When they saw that figure, the people around them automatically separated their paths.

That feeling, like a welcome.

The figure easily found these players from Tokyo.

A little joy flashed in his eyes.

"Hi!"

The star players in Tokyo all had constipated expressions on their faces when they saw the people coming.

"Hey, why are you here?"

"There is no way, the organizers have to invite me. I didn't want to come, but the conditions they gave were too tempting. So..."

"What conditions?"

"20 million appearance fee!"
