"Arata Furuta, yes it's Arata Furuta again. In yesterday's game against Wencheng High School, Arata Furuta performed a base-stealing skill that can be called a miracle. He scored from second base to home plate in one go, and even more

It was a juggling act that made the five opponents who defended him come back in vain! Director Miyazawa, what do you think of this game?"

"Ah...how do I put it? Actually, I've known Arata for a long time. We met last year when he participated in Mr. Takizawa's film selection. His pitching skills left a deep impression on me at that time, but this time

Once, Arata performed a fantastic base-stealing technique. To be honest, even I have never seen such a wonderful base-stealing technique!"

Director Miyazawa was full of praise for Arata's performance on TV. In fact, he was not the only one. In the news about Koshien during this period, Arata's news almost existed, not to mention those non-professionals, many professional players

The team seemed to be paying attention to Arata's performance.

Thanks to Miyazawa Masami's high popularity. Her father Miyazawa Eiji has always been an important guest on TV and wild ball programs. Although Arata is only playing in the Musashino regional qualifiers, he can get Miyazawa

The recognition of supervision is already a great thing in the eyes of ordinary people.

…

"Give!"

"What?"

"Ma-chan gave it to you!"

"Eh?"

After dinner, Ryoko suddenly called Arata aside and handed him a bag of star-shaped cookies.

"What are you doing? Why did you give me this?"

"Ma Jiang made this by herself. She said it was made during a cooking show a few days ago. I thought I had nothing to give you, so I took this as a condolence gift for you! Also, next game, Oudou

Sang, Oka-san said he wants to go together to cheer you up!"

Because he had to go to the police college to receive promotion training, Ichiro has never had the opportunity to witness Arata's battle in person until now. However, he has seen news about Arata from newspapers and TV. As for his mother Junko, she has only

When I go to work, my colleagues will ask me about Koshien.

"The next game should be held at the Municipal Field Baseball Center! How about it? Has the opponent been determined?"

"Well! The opponent is Feng Yu Shang Gao!"

"How about it? Is it a strong team?"

"Hmm... How should I put it? I heard that Toyotama has two players who transferred from the prestigious Yokohama High School. One of them was once a pitcher, and the other one has very good batting skills! But I don't know the details yet!

"

"My batting skills are very good! How about it? Are you afraid?"

"We haven't played against each other yet, so what can I say? I'm still a little worried. After all, they are players from Yokohama High School!"

"Wait a minute, is Yokohama High School famous?"

"How should I put it? There are several players among the official players who have been selected for the U17 national team!"

"Eh..."

Hearing Arata's words, Liangzi nodded thoughtfully. Although she thought her brother was very powerful, she didn't think Arata had reached the level of a national team player.

…

The next game is just two days later. In the past few days, we have played continuously, especially the game against Wencheng High School. The hard offensive battle made everyone consume a lot of energy. So in the next game, the defense led by Arata

At the end, we have to take on more responsibilities to reduce the pressure on the offense.

"I heard that the two players from Toyotama High School are named Kitayama Nobunaga and Kiyota Shinichi. I heard that Kitayama Nobunaga was the main pitcher of Yokohama High School before, but for some reason he left Yokohama, and Kiyota Shinichi

He is Kitayama's best friend in Yokohama. After Kitayama came to Toyotama, Kiyota also transferred to another school and followed him... I heard that the Toyotama Shoko High School led by the two of them had competed with Futama Academy, the champion of East Tokyo last month, last month.

The battle ended in a draw!"

"What, isn't that...even more powerful than Musashino's champion Nai Sakura?"

"Yes! It is said that the two people are called the KK combination!"

"kk? Kitayama and Qingtian, right?"

"Um!"

…

I have to say that hearing such news all of a sudden when the game is about to start is definitely not a good thing for the team.

"Okay, don't be afraid, everyone! As long as we keep winning, we will always encounter more powerful opponents. Just like before we played against Narui High School, didn't everyone think that we would never win? Even if KK is from Yokohama High School, but

After all, this is Toyotama Shanggao! Moreover, the practice match is not a formal competition, and Nisong Gakusha Dafu is only a strong team that has only emerged in recent years, and the level fluctuates greatly..."

Seeing that everyone's morale suddenly dropped, Ushijima comforted everyone. Speaking of which, Ushijima-senpai also graduated from Yokohama High School and then entered the Yokohama Bay Star. Moreover, there were many in the Second Army of the Bay Star.

As a teammate who graduated from Yokohama High School, Ushijima-senpai is naturally no stranger to such a famous sports school.

If kk was really Yokohama's main force before, then there may be only one reason for their transfer, and that is that Yokohama has stronger players than kk, causing the two to lose their main position.

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon in famous wildball schools like Yokohama High School. In order to better showcase themselves in Koshien and at the same time show their abilities to professional teams, many players who have lost their main position have no choice but to transfer to another school.

Go to the next-level school. In fact, the number of contestants in Koshien is divided by county, but this

It cannot truly reflect the level of field play in each region. In some areas, just the competition for the right to compete in the prefectural tournament is as difficult as the Koshien National Tournament. Among them, Kanagawa Prefecture and Osaka where Yokohama is located

Each region is represented. Especially in Osaka, the battle for player rights every year can be described as brutal.

Therefore, if Chiyoda wants to go further in Koshien, then the kk combination is the challenge they must face.

After the pep rally before the game ended, Ushijima left Arata alone and told him the plan for tomorrow's game.

"What, let me be the first batsman of the team's offense tomorrow?"

"Well! If you can still show the same base-stealing skills as last time, our offense will definitely be a threat to give our opponents a headache! Although Toyotama's pitcher is also very good, but if we use short batting tactics, we can win

More opportunities. However, stolen bases in professional games

The success rate is less than 70%, but once it succeeds, it is an extremely morale-boosting act. Sometimes, you know that there is a mountain of knives ahead, but you still have to take the risk. This is the temperament that the team's No. 1 should have.

But...this time, you better not take the risk of stealing home base!"
