Chapter 163: Post-match interview

As soon as the game was over, the players from Seidou High School did not have time to walk out of the field.

A group of reporters rushed forward.

As the winning team, Seidou High School must be interviewed, and they cannot shirk this.

Superintendent Kataoka, with Sawamura and Tetsuya, appeared in front of the media!

On the other hand, Coach Ochiai took the other players out of the field.

It is also very particular about who to choose to be interviewed with. On the one hand, if the players are not mentally ready to be interviewed, they think they are big stars because the media interviewed them.

If such players are interviewed, not only can it not help them, but it will harm their performance.

On the other hand, players must perform well enough in the match.

Yuuki, as the team's captain, also hit two good hits facing the Tokyo Prince Narumiya Mei, the first pitcher in Kanto before, so it is natural for Yuuki to be interviewed.

On the other hand, his mentality is indeed strong enough.

When he first joined Seidou High School, Yuuki was not very mature, but the current Yuuki Tetsuya has changed completely compared to two years ago.

He stood there like a calm adult.

Even if he joins professional baseball directly, he can play as a good combat force.

Of course, the reason why Coach Kataoka brought Yuuki, In addition to these reasons, it is also very important that Yuuki is the most likely player to join a professional baseball team among the graduating players in the third year.

Coach Kataoka pulled him for the interview, also to increase his exposure, and get him ready.

For this, Sawamura has nothing to say.

Although before Sawamura returned to the past, the captain was not able to join professional baseball.

It's hard to say whether it was his life's choice or because he wanted to seek a different career. Well, it was different from his brother.

If he did, Sawamura was sure that, the title of Home Run King won't be in the hands of Mima Soichiro.

Now there is Koshien, with the opportunity to show his skills, Sawamura can't say exactly how Tetsu-san will choose his own future path.

However, Sawamura always believed in one thing.

With the experience of Koshien, the seniors of Seidou High School who are about to graduate in the third grade will inevitably embark on a different path in the future!

In addition to the Captain, the other person who was pulled by Coach Kataoka for an interview was, of course, Sawamura.

There is not much to say about the strength of the Demon King in this game. If he can't be interviewed as a representative of the players, these reporters will probably murder Coach Kataoka.

"This game went very smoothly at the beginning. Nevertheless, in the end, Inajitsu made a very threatening attack. A Home run could close the score. I wonder what Coach Kataoka thought at the time?"

A reporter's mouth is always like a knife. The first question is awfully sharp.

Kataoka is in a good mood! Even after being questioned by reporters, the smile on his face still did not disappear.

"My only thought at the time was that the opponent was very strong!"

"As the victor of the game, I don't think it's good to say this, but the fact is that the opponent is really strong! In this game, the reason why Seidou was able to win was due to a lot of luck and the players' perseverance."

Everyone originally thought that a Coach like Kataoka, who returned to glory, would definitely brag a bit right now.

Unexpectedly, he was extremely humble when he answered the question.

Beside Coach Kataoka, Sawamura couldn't help but glance at his Coach frequently.

Unexpectedly, Kataoka, who is still in his thirties, knew how to deal with reporters.

'Looks like he was getting ready for this in secret.' Eijun smiled in his mind.

Obviously, his goal is not only on West Tokyo, but the Koshien, So this should be natural.

Many TV media choose to broadcast the Finals in West Tokyo, and there are countless videos circulating on the Internet.

The other teams will also see the TV interview.

Right now, Coach Kataoka was putting on the front of being new and humble, just to paralyze the opponents in Koshien that Seidou might encounter.

The reporters were not stupid. Seeing that they couldn't get anything of value from Kataoka so after a few questions, they immediately turned to Yuuki and Sawamura.

The team Captain was very honest. For every three questions the reporter asked, he could only very simply.

And the answer is just one or two words.

"Yes!"

"Right!"

Although he looked very calm, but Sawamura thought, he should be a bit nervous.

After asking a few questions, these reporters finally moved on.

The top priority of interviewing Seidou High School, as expected, is still on Sawamura Eijun!

"How does it feel to be an Ace in first grade?"

"On the first year, you joined the team, you led the team to Koshien. I wonder what Sawamura-kun thinks?"

"When I just watched the game, I heard that the audience kept calling you the Demon King. What do you think of this title?"

These questions are nothing new, and Sawamura has answered them many times before.

Occasionally there are some changes, but not much.

Sawamura answered honestly, he didn't know how many times he had said the answer before!

Although these answers are just talk, but sometimes the interviews are like this, so he must be steady.

Finally, after all the ordinary questions passed, the reporters were naturally able to write something.

Nevertheless, of course, troublesome problems arise.

"I wonder what Sawamura-kun thinks about your third baseman's mistake before?"

One of the reporters raised the microphone and asked Sawamura seriously.

As the reporter threw the question, the whole atmosphere of the scene changed.

The scope of the interview, which was still relatively friendly, suddenly became tense.

No matter how secure Sawamura Eijun is in the Ace position of Seidou High School, he is only a freshman who has just joined the team for half a year.

As a freshman in the first year, how does he evaluate his senpai?

If he excuses the third baseman, he will inevitably be suspected of flattering the senior.

To speak ill of the third baseman is likely to offend the entire third-year senior.

Seidou High School still has the Koshien competition.

As the representative team of West Tokyo, if there is discord within the team, the trip to Koshien of Seidou High School, then…

'Can you be a little more considerate?'

Many people want to ask this question to the reporter.

The sunglasses on Coach Kataoka's head couldn't hide the anger in his eyes.

Just as he was about to forcibly interrupt the interview, Sawamura spoke up.

"I have no opinion."

'Eh?'

Originally a 99% victory, because of a mistake by the third baseman, Seidou High School was almost returned to square one by Inashiro.

As the team's Ace pitcher, shouldn't Sawamura be angry at this? How can he not have any opinions?

"I stand on the field, just a part of the entire Seidou High School baseball team.

Whether it is a successful defense or a defense error, whether it is a score or an Out to the opponent.,

This is not just our individual performance, but the performance of the team in this game.

The truth is, we won this game! Although there are some close calls in the middle, the result is good, it is really good.

The mistakes during the game need to be sorted out and summarized after going back.

So right now, I have no opinion about this. As a part of the team, being able to defeat such a powerful opponent as Inajitsu High School and Narumiya-senpai, and I am very happy!"

Sawamura's remarks made all the reporters who were interviewing Seidou dumbfounded!

That's a great Shit!

Is this what a freshman who has just entered high school can say? This is exactly the diplomatic rhetoric from an experienced professional player.

If Sawamura knows what these reporters are thinking, He will definitely give these reporters a big thumbs up.

'You guys are so sharp!'

Their guesses are almost the same as the facts.

But this fact, Coach Kataoka did not know.

Coach Kataoka looked at Sawamura in shock and relief.
