This summer, a group of teenagers from the countryside of Japan made many people who don’t understand baseball praise: “This is the youth I want!”
Although at the just-concluded Japanese high school baseball national competition, they clearly lost to their opponents with a big score of 2-13 and cried.
This showdown is a holy place for high school sports that often appears in Japanese anime, Jiaziyuan .
Because baseball is Japan's national sport, Kokoyuan is not only the national high school baseball final, but also the place where all the baseball teenagers in Japan try their best to reach.
It is here that the crying teenagers, like the protagonists of the passionate comics, completed the "most moving failure".
The script settings they originally got were supposed to be the supporting role who went to join in the fun...
Because among the more than 4,000 participating teams, this baseball team is really inconspicuous.
The school they are in is called Jinzu Agriculture, which is an agricultural school that has lost soil.
Because I am in the relatively backward economy of Akita Prefecture, I am so poor all year round. Even the school rules are very secondary and rural style:
The school’s official website is so simple that it is too simple, and even the special effects are 50 cents.
Campus promotional photos At first glance, it is a desolate and lonely suburb.
Although there is a baseball team in the school, due to limited funding, it is incomparable to those wealthy private schools that have carefully trained baseball players since childhood.
htmlFor more than 0 years, players’ daily life has been to practice ball, plant rice internships, and raise pigs, cattle and chickens.The team's level has been a complete 103 years since it reached the finals in the first session, and has never reached the Jiaziyuan finals again.
This year's baseball team just gathered 9 players on the field, not even a reliable substitute.
Except for 3 of them who have played baseball before, the other 6 have never touched the ball when they were in junior high school. A baseball team like
was directly called the "little farmer" who played baseball when they first participated in the high school baseball national competition.
Their self-introduction is also quite weird -
It is obviously a baseball team, but some of the players say that their hobby is football, some of the most proud of their math scores, and some of them show that their fishing record is 93 cm perch...? ? ?
No one would have thought that this rustic team could stand out from more than 4,000 participating schools in Japan...
Even Jinzunong Agricultural School has never had any hope for its baseball team.
thought about letting them play a preliminary round and it was just forgot, so I didn’t even give much money to the journey.
also decisively arranged that the final day of the baseball competition will start on August 21st...
The result is completely messy.
This group of small farmers not only defeated Kagoshima, representing Kagoshima Industrial 5:1 in the first round, but also defeated :3 in the second round, Gifu representing Ogaki Hida...
was invincible and created one miracle after another!
Seeing that they are so powerful, the school has to postpone the start of school urgently.
The farmers and uncles of Akita Prefecture were also in a hurry and sent rice and white flour to the children who had already spent all their money...
The audience was also stunned by the sudden dark horse.
I heard that the team members didn’t even bring enough living expenses, so they took out pocket money to raise 50 million yen for them, and then brought out a banner of “Weed Legion, National Dominance” to support them.
Golden Foot Beast Baseball Team is indeed like the weed legion and unstoppable.
htmlOn August 17, Kinzuon defeated the most famous Yokohama High School team.pitcher Hirose Yoshida actually made more than 13 consecutive "strike-ups" in three consecutive games, setting the strongest pitcher record in 72 years and was called a "high school monster" by the media.
This young man named Yoshida is not only the only ace player in the team, but also the soul figure who created the miracle of Golden Foot Nong.
Three years ago, Yoshida, who had just graduated from junior high school, was already attracted by various prestigious baseball schools.
Because junior high school has always played soft baseball, he thought of first getting used to hard baseball in Akita's local amateur club first and then choosing a school.
Unexpectedly, in the country club, Yoshida met a group of friends who were as close as brothers.
"Why don't we go to Jinzunong to create history together?"
When he was interviewed in the soft baseball department in elementary school, Yoshida, who had said that he would bring his hometown team to the Jiaziyuan, suddenly ignited this dream again.
Just like that, Yoshida rejected the offer from other wealthy baseball schools and ran to Jinzunong with his friends he met when he was in the club.
But because the number of people was still not enough, I had to bring in a few students without foundation and finally formed a 9-person team.
Because there are two days a week, all the members of Jinzunong must intern on the farm.
So they can't receive systematic training, they can only rely on hard work - in order to better train their legs, they do not wear sneakers in winter, but practice in the snow with long boots, making walking more difficult.
In addition to wanting to enter the Kaziyuan with local partners, Yoshida Hiroseki also wants to fulfill his father's unfinished dream.
Because his father, Masaki Yoshida, was also a baseball player of Kinzuno, but he lost to the local finals by 1 point twice, missing the opportunity to go to Kaziyuan.
In high school for three years, Yoshida Hiroseki, who had never relaxed for a day, did not disappoint his friends who followed him, nor did he disappoint his father.
They have been working tacitly, and they have really entered Jiaziyuan all the way!
August 18, Jin Zunong defeated Omi High School team.
Akita Prefecture TV station's live broadcast ratings are as high as 45.5%.
August 20th, the Weed Legion created another miracle and entered the finals directly!
The whole of Japan went crazy, and the villagers of Akita Prefecture were even more excited and bought the ticket for Akita to Osaka on August 21.
After winning the competition, these simple teenagers proudly sang the school song loudly together.
This school song, dubbed "Shukou Song", has the same rustic lyrics.
However, looking at them with dirt and sweat on their faces and dirty bodies, they smiled so brightly.
However, the audience couldn't help but be laughing and crying by their passionate and funny songs.
In the final on August 21, the opponent facing Kim Soon-Nong was Osaka Kiri-Yin, who had never lost this year, and was also the champion of the Spring Koko-yuan.
Some netizens even posted a picture of a tank vs tractor to describe the huge difference in combat effectiveness of the two teams.
Facing such a strong opponent, Yoshida, whose physical strength has reached its limit, is no longer able to make up for the situation because of continuous competitions.
The game ended and the almost impossible miracle didn't happen again.
Yoshida Hiroseki said, "This is the best teammate, the best summer."
still couldn't help crying.
teammates also comforted Yoshida with tears and said:
"Don't be sad, it's because you have made good shots that we can come to Jiaziyuan. You must raise your head and stand up."
Although they lost to the strong team, they who won the runner-up still received praise from God.
It is said that during the award ceremony, beautiful rainbows appeared at the stadium and Akita Prefecture, the hometown of Kinzunong.
The teenagers who wiped their tears under the rainbow may never forget them in their lives. They used their burning enthusiasm and sweat to scatter on the court to realize an originally impossible dream.
This is the best youth, just like Hanamichi Sakuragi said to his father: "My most glorious moment is now!"
