Giving interviews privately without supervisory permission.
No one dared to say anything.
They were worried all day and found that there seemed to be no changes around them.
So they felt relieved.
As for the matter of accepting the interview, they also put it aside.
Now is the competition period.
The goals of all players on the Seidou High School baseball team are surprisingly consistent.
That is to ensure that their team can get the ticket to Koshien smoothly.
Now they have successfully entered the round of 16 in West Tokyo.
In other words, as long as they win four more games, they can get the ticket to Koshien.
In this situation, how can they care about other things?
Everyone trained wholeheartedly and studied their opponents wholeheartedly.
Just when everyone thought that days like this would continue—
The unexpected happened.
The report of Baseball Weekly was published.
Originally this was no big deal, as the Seidou High School baseball team successfully defeated Hachioji High School.
There are numerous reports about them in newspapers.
Of course, this is not a treatment unique to their team.
Several teams in West Tokyo that have hopes of getting tickets to Koshien are introduced in detail.
It's just that there are more and less.
In comparison, the Seidou High School baseball team has a little more.
There's nothing we can do about it. Who made their performance so strong this year?
The reason why the contestants had a lucky mentality before—
It's simply because the Baseball Weekly report was mixed in with these reports and was not conspicuous.
But obviously, they miscalculated.
Director Kataoka brought a magazine directly during the meeting.
The name of the magazine reads Baseball Weekly.
The most interesting thing is the cover of this issue of Baseball Weekly.
It's obvious that it was taken by Seidou players in the locker room.
All the players of the Seidou High School baseball team gathered together, with bright smiles on their faces, and took a group photo.
Originally this was a photo of Suzuhara Ai with them.
Now, Ai Suzuhara in the photo has obviously been cut out.
So the photo is a group photo of all the people in their team.
"How could she do that?"
Several third-year seniors on the Seidou High School baseball team felt deeply hurt.
Ai Suzuhara clearly said that she would not report anything exaggerated.
Unexpectedly, she actually posted the photos?
This way, even if everyone wants to quibble, they won't be able to find an excuse.
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
Director Kataoka suppressed the anger in his heart.
If it weren't for his self-control as a teacher, he would have been constantly restrained.
It is possible that Director Kataoka has already taken action by now.
Just one Zhou Hao.
He was disobedient on the field and pitched the ball with all his might.
So much so that until now, everyone knows that the Seidou High School baseball team has a monster rookie pitcher this year.
Kataoka and the coaching staff had no choice but to make up stories to play along.
The other party must have racked his brains to think of it.
Then they just give the other party this opportunity and let them think about it more.
The more you think, the more mistakes you make.
Now, all the players in their team are doing such a thing without telling him?
"Do you really want to be famous? Have you ever thought that as long as you make it to Koshien, you will have plenty of opportunities to become famous? But if you fail to get a place in Koshien, then all your current performances will be nothing but a joke..."
Under the influence of the media, people's mentality can easily change.
Even adults may not be able to keep a calm mind about this.
Not to mention, a group of sixteen or seventeen-year-old children full of vigor and vitality.
Suddenly raising them to a higher position is likely to cause them to become mentally unbalanced.
This is also the reason why Director Kataoka has always been reluctant for his disciples to accept too many interviews.
He didn't expect these little guys to be so bold.
"And you, Zhou Hao! Answer me, what's going on with this talented young man struggling in a wealthy family?"
The Baseball Weekly report clearly described Zhou Hao's resume.
This is something that other reports do not have, as it is obvious that the person himself was interviewed.
He just joined the team and showed extraordinary pitching talent.
Although he had no baseball experience before, he made a big splash on the field.
Especially Zhou Hao, who has only learned baseball for more than a month.
"Let's not even talk about the period before high school. It's been more than three months since I joined the team. What happened to your baseball for more than a month?"
"I'm talking about being a pitcher!"
Zhou Hao argued.
"Get out of here and run around the court thirty times to calm down."
The baseball field is very large, and running around it is several hundred meters.
If you run thirty laps around the circle, you are basically running for 10,000 meters.
Zhou Hao lowered his head and ran to the court dejectedly.
His comrades in the first team were all gloating over his misfortune.
It was at this time that Director Kataoka glanced over.
The group of contestants were instantly silent as if someone was strangling them by the neck.
"You guys go too!"
Watching a group of athletes running from the conference room to the court—
Ota, the baseball club captain, smiled and comforted the players:
"It's not entirely their fault. The reporter just ran in suddenly. The kids are so shy—"
"President, don't worry, our Coach is not angry."
I don't know when Takashima Rei came over, and her high heels made a tapping sound as they stepped on the ground.
Isn't the Coach angry?
President Ota blinked in confusion.
He looked at his supervisor carefully and found that Coach Kataoka did not seem to be angry at all.
Then why did he show that expression to the contestants just now?
His tone was stern and his eyes were like lightning.
It felt as if he was passing judgment on his disciples.
"They really went too far this time. We must teach them a lesson."
Takashima Rei adjusted her glasses with her ring finger and said solemnly:
"Before we reach the finals, this kind of thing cannot happen again."
Although they played smoothly in the first two games—
But this is not their real test. Their real test starts from the semi-finals.
Before that, the players' mentality must not be affected too much.
"Fortunately, these kids are united!"
There were so many contestants, but not one of them reported others behind their backs.
Even when they were questioned by Coach Kataoka, they did not reveal the mastermind behind the incident.
It is undoubtedly a huge good thing that they can be so united on the field.
This shows that they have recognized each other.
"Recently, quite a few fans have come to watch the team's training. I noticed that some of them seem to have ulterior motives."
