"Do it again!"
Ten minutes before the start of the game, Coach Kataoka said to the Captain.
"Yes!"
The Young General responded with a solemn nod.
After all, this may be the last time they fight for the team.
Even if you are tough, you can't avoid feeling sad about this.
"Gather!"
After Captain Yuuki ordered his teammates at Seidou High School, he walked to the side of the rest area first.
He didn't elaborate, but the tradition is deeply engraved in the marrow of every player of Seidou High School, and they know what they would do.
Everyone tacitly walked to the side of Tetsu, formed a circle, and put Yuuki in the center of the circle.
In the stands, Now it's not just the players of the Second String and Third String, cheerleaders, and brass band of Seidou High School. Many schoolmates, also wearing the uniforms of Seidou High School, came here to cheer for their school.
At the forefront of this team, of course, are the third-year retired players, Maezono of the Second String, Kanemaru, and the others.
They looked at these players in a circle on the field and felt deeply one by one.
Since entering Seidou High School, Seidou's slogan has been with them from beginning to end.
To Win the Championship!
Now, the team has finally come this far.
They are only one step away from this grand goal. As long as they win today's game again, Seidou High School will complete their dream.
"I must be selected into the First String!" Maezono showed his stubborn persistence.
"The first-year players are not just the three of them," Kanemaru said with resolve
Toujou next to him was silent but his eyes were priming with determination and enthusiasm.
This scene excites many people.
The audience feels hyped, and the people from Seidou High School feel proud…
The retired third-year players had their hearts full of emotions.
They were bitter that they weren't good enough to be on the field at that moment, the pride for their team was this amazing, and happiness as their path in baseball was not wrong.
Their team is now here in the finals of the national championship.
And the players of the Second String are more resolute and swore to be there next time.
After all, they are the closest to these people on the field.
In any case, even if it is desperate. They must squeeze into the Seidou High School's first string.
On the field, Sawamura and the others' eyes were calm and firm.
It would be a lie to say that there is no nervousness in the final of Koshien. Standing on the field, almost every player from Seidou High School could hear the beating of his heart.
This shows that they are very nervous!
But this tension is not crippling for them, tension can only further stimulate the players' will to fight.
Of course, being able to do this cannot be accomplished overnight. This is what the players continuously improved through training during their days at Seidou High School.
The huge amount of training, at this moment, forged their unshakable confidence.
They will definitely win!
Not because the opponent is from Hokkaido, which has never won the national championship before.
The players of Seidou High School never believed in curses. If they were really the kind of people who surrendered to fate, they wouldn't have joined Seidou High School, which had not entered Koshien for several years in a row.
Their confidence comes from their own prowess!
They believe that the training they receive is the most rigorous, they believe that they put in the most effort, they believe that their strength is the strongest, and they also believe that the teammates around them are the best!
Will definitely win!
In this game, Seidou High School will definitely win.
It is with such determination that their eyes can be so firm.
Before they started the call, Yuuki said a few words.
"We have finally reached this moment, this place," Yuuki said.
"But we are not here as just ourselves, we are now carrying all the hopes and dreams of our teammates in the stands who couldn't participate with us." At Yuuki's words, all the players' faces turned solemn. Some of them glanced at the stands where their teammates were standing.
"And it is not just them, there is also all the Senpai who tried their hardest and couldn't achieve this dream and could only entrust this dream to the next, with the hope of achieving them." Yuuki's words made the players' backs feel heavy.
This made the players remember their Senpais who were crying on the field after losing, and remember the ones who entrusted their dreams to them, like Azuma who is watching the game right now on TV.
"However, at this moment, all of this does not matter." The players were surprised by what Tetsu said, making the previous tense atmosphere suddenly disappear.
Nevertheless, Tetsuya didn't care and continued.
"I ask you now!
When you trained so hard that you couldn't breathe!
When you spent all your energy that you could barely stand!
And when you were so done with it that you questioned! Why are doing this to yourself?!
Isn't it because you wanted to get here?!" Tetsu said with this pointer to the ground.
And at this, the players' minds were overloading with pride and excitement, that they could barely hold.
"ISN'T IT BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO BE STRONGER?!!
ISN'T IT BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO GO HIGHER?!!
ISN'T IT BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO WIN?!!!"
"YEAAAAHHHH!!!!!" The players could no longer keep it to themselves and shouted before the slogan started.
And the perpetrator of this, Yuuki Tetsuya, surrounded by the center of the circle, tapped the position of his heart with his thumb.
"SO! WITH A HEART FULL OF PRIDE! I ASK YOU!!"
"WHO ARE WE?!!!!!!!"
"KING SEIDOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WHO SHED SWEATS MORE THAN ANYONE?!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"SEIDOU!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WHO SHED TEARS MORE THAN ANYONE?!!!!!!!!!!"
"SEIDOU!!!!!!!!!!!"
"ARE YOU ALL READY FOR THE BATTLE?!!!!!!!!!"
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"SWEAR BY THE HONOR OF THE SCHOOL! OUR GOAL IS ONLY ONE! TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The players who were bending over and shouting slogans, at this moment, all straightened their backs and pointed their fingers to the sky.
Their dreams are bigger than the sky!
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
When the players shouted the last slogan, the audience at the scene, led by the Second String and Third String of Seidou High School, also shouted.
Some of the Seidou's graduates and alumni in the stand, or watching on TV like Azuma also shouted.
At this moment, there were more than 60,000 spectators in the stands of Koshien Stadium.
The uncontrollable roar made the entire stadium tremble slightly.
The management staff of Koshien Stadium, had their hearts beating wildly.
Fortunately, he did not have heart disease or high blood pressure, otherwise he would have been inspired to death.
This trembling in the stadium is resounding in the heart!
The two commentators at the scene were also excited and incoherent.
Although their screens are big enough, they don't see much in such an intense live broadcast.
"It's weird, no Komadai fans?"
One of the commentators said with a wry smile.
Just now, why did he feel that more than 60,000 people at the scene were all here to cheer for Seidou High School?
In any case, Komadai also entered the finals of Koshien. Why doesn't it seem like there is a single fan?
The commentator next to him couldn't help but glance at his partner.
'Oi! Don't say it!'
Even if what he said was the truth, he couldn't say it out so bluntly as a commentator. You know, although the game is played by two high school teams, they each represent their own region.
Although the atmosphere of baseball in Hokkaido is a bit less, it is not without fans.
'You will make some people offended by talking like that dude.'
'Maybe we will be scolded on the Internet now.'
The feeling of this commenter is not wrong. Now on the Internet, the thread from Hokkaido has long been scolding his partner.
"I think everyone has seen the atmosphere at the scene. It seems that everyone doesn't support us. If you are afraid, you can quit now."
In the rest area of Komadai High School, Coach Nitta asked with a smile.
The players of Komadai High School shook their heads like rattles.
They know the way of their coach by now.
Don't be deceived by his Smile now, if someone really shows cowardice, this guy will turn into something unrecognizable.
A Devil!
Compared with Nitta, the devil is like a good rabbit, it is a symbol of gentleness and cuteness.
"Summer Koshien Finals, West Tokyo Seidou High School's against South Hokkaido Komadai Fujimaki High School, starts now!"
At 9:30, the game started on time.
The first to attack is Seidou.
