The spring sunshine spread on the training ground of the King Seido High School baseball team, illuminating the people's faces warmly.

A significant competition is in full swing.

Both sides of the competition are the first graders of the Seidou High School baseball team and the second and third grade players.

The seniors in the second and third grades basically use the main players of the Second Seido Army as the framework, so the overall strength of this team is still very considerable.

Don't look at them as the second army, if they form a team alone to participate in the Tokyo Regional Competition or the West Tokyo Regional Competition.

With better luck, they may even reach the quarterfinals.

Not at all modest, this second army of Seido High School baseball team definitely has the strength of the top 16 in Tokyo.

Of course, they can only stop here.

Going forward a step further, if they want to reach the semi-finals of West Tokyo, there is absolutely no hope.

After all, if the Tokyo semi-finals are not considered for luck, then the final four teams will basically be the four fixed teams.

The four teams are the King Seido High School Baseball Team, the Daocheng Industrial High School Baseball Team, which has also dominated the country before, and the last of the three major clubs in West Tokyo, the city's junior high school baseball team.

besides.

There are many powerful teams in Nishi Tokyo, but the one that can stand out is probably the Pharmacist High School Baseball Team.

Although the players of this team are a bit nervous, their performance is not particularly stable.

However, their record in Jiaziyuan in spring has fully proved their strength and status.

Not to mention Tokyo as a whole, just to say Tokyo.

The strength of these four teams has a clear gap in strength compared to other competitors.

How big is their gap?

To put it bluntly, even if these four teams only send their own substitutes to the bench, it is enough to eliminate 90% of Tokyo's opponents.

For the remaining ten percent, they only need to fill a few main players.

These teams are so powerful that they make other teams desperate.

When they compete with other teams, they don’t need to put out their full strength at all.

certainly.

This does not mean that teams at the quarterfinals of the West Tokyo are not strong enough.

It’s just that those four teams are too strong. Not to mention looking at Tokyo, pulling them to the field of Jiaziyuan is also a fierce battle that will only occur in the second half.

The reason why West Tokyo has become the most famous hell race area in the country.

Ninety percent of the credit is attributed to their four teams.

The remaining teams can only account for 10%.

If the teams at the quarterfinals of the West Tokyo quarter-finals are placed in some places with less competitiveness, they are also qualified to compete for the quota of Kaziyuan.

This is the strength of the second army of the King Seido High School baseball team.

These players form a team. You can imagine how strong this team is.

With such a powerful opponent, no matter what kind of strength and level the new player of King Seido High School baseball team has?

They can all test it clearly.

Of course.

The welcome match of King Seido High School baseball team is not all for first-year freshmen.

This is also an assessment of the second and third grade players.

Look at these players, is anyone standing out?

Although this is not the last chance for second and third grade players, it is also similar to their last chance.

In the second and third grades, players with ambitions to go further must stand out in this competition.

If you can stand out, get the attention of Superintendent Kataoka and the coaching staff of the Seidou High School Baseball Team.

Then, you still have the chance to participate in the selection later.

If you can't stand out, there is no way to make the coaches of Superintendent Kataoka and Seido High School champions shine.

Then, in the future, it will probably be difficult for you to join the first army of the King of Seidao High School baseball team.

Are there any promotions that are exceptionally promoted?

Of course, such outstanding players also exist, but according to the traditions of the King Seido High School baseball team in previous years.

All the contestants who were promoted exceptionally, without exception are first-year newcomers.

There are no contestants in the second and third grades, but there are definitely very few.

After so many years of Seidou High School baseball team, the number of times that happened can be counted by fingers.

Every year's welcome competition is their top priority for the King of Seidao High School baseball team.

Things you must deal with must be taken seriously 120,000 in advance.

Before the new year's welcome competition started this year, the first-tier players of the Seidou High School baseball team were still speculating whether there are any newcomers in the first grade who can stand out?

Has anyone from the second and third graders of their age come from behind?

Zhang Han was also extremely enthusiastic about this matter two years ago.

Two years ago, Zhang Han had just joined the baseball team of Kings Qingdao High School, and he was the protagonist of the participation.

That welcome competition left Zhang Han with a deep impression, and it can even be said to be fresh in memory. Even though two years have passed, Zhang Han can occasionally recall what happened at that time.

As for last year's welcome competition.

Although Zhang Han is not a direct participant, he is also very excited.

He was very curious about what kind of newcomers would emerge among his juniors?

But this year, even as the captain of the baseball team, Zhang Han should have an attitude towards this matter.

But he was surprised to find that he didn't seem very interested.

Although he was not interested at all, he was no longer worried about it.

"Am I old?"

This change in mentality made Zhang Han extremely uncomfortable. He told Miyukiya and Kurashita Yoichi directly about his doubts.

Unexpectedly, these two people have similar mentality to him.

They don’t seem to be very interested in the new welcome competition?

Looking back now.

When they participated in the welcome competition before, the seniors in the third grade were Dongqingguo and others.

Not very interested.

Last year, even though the two dark horses, Akira Seiya and Eijun Sawamura, emerged, Yukio and his team waited until their training was over before they went to watch the welcome competition.

In contrast, they seem to have just inherited the traditions of their predecessors, but they are more obvious than their predecessors.

"I really envy you guys."

Aso, who was eating on the side, heard the conversation between several people and smiled bitterly.

"Do you know what's the reason?"

Kurachi asked curiously.

"Of course, a noble pride like you, will not understand the mentality of ordinary people like us."

Aso didn't keep it in a silence either.

The key is that he can't keep the people in front of him.

"Everyone will pay attention to the welcome competition, just because they are interested in first-grade players?"

Of course not, that's for sure.

"For players like us, of course we will pay attention to the welcome competition. Whether the first-year newcomers or the second- and third-year students are rushing up, they may be our competitors."

Speaking of this, Aso smiled bitterly again.

"I really envy you guys who don't have to worry about your position. We can't do it. We must pay attention to the welcome competition."

After Aso finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhang Han.

"As the true core of the team, you would pay attention to the team's welcome match last year. It was nothing more than discovering the team's weaknesses and eager to see someone help, right?"

Zhang Han thought about it carefully and it seemed that this was the case.

At this time last year, Seido High School baseball team was not as strong as it is now.

Especially the problem of their pitcher mound has not been solved for a long time. He and Koichiro Tamha have their own problems.

At that time, the King of Seidao High School baseball team urgently needed new pitchers to join.
