Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Star Game

"Please, be sure to agree!"

The vice president of TV Tokyo, a standard ninety-degree bow.

Minister Ota and Coach Ochiai stood up in unison.

Although they do not have a direct relationship with TV Tokyo. But after all, the other party is the vice president of a TV station, and he is the vice president of TV Tokyo, and he has a high position.

They were really flattered by such a man saluting them.

Even Kataoka's face was red.

He had the heart to refuse.

Even in the face of the principal and the director of education, Kataoka is not false at all. When it's time to go back, I don't have any affection on my lips.

Not only do others think that Kataoka is upright, but Kataoka himself also believes that he himself will never be swayed by worldly things.

He expressed his gratitude to the President and the Board of Trustees. A large part of it is sincere, and of course it is not ruled out that they want to make them more important to the team.

In Kataoka's view, this is a very normal social interaction, and it is also a team supervisor who must do.

So even if he doesn't like it, he will still let the contestants be interviewed as a last resort.

This is mainly because the team and the players will pay a greater price if they do not give interviews......

What the vice president of the TV station proposed was basically no benefit to the Seido High School baseball team.

According to Kataoka's heart, he must refuse.

But when he saw the vice president of the TV station bowing 90 degrees to him, Kataoka refused, and when it came to his lips, he couldn't say it.

The young man of the TV station who introduced the vice president flashed a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Worthy of being the vice president, even Mr. Kataoka can't refuse his request?"

It's certainly a good thing for teams that have already lost to give their third-year players an extra exposure.

They have no reason to refuse, and they will definitely send out the third-year contestants. Even second-year players are not negotiable.

However, the Seido High School baseball team will be preparing for the Koshien game wholeheartedly in the coming period.

When the Koshien tournament is over, the players will devote themselves to the construction of the new team. As for those third-year players, with their stunning appearance at Koshien, there is no need to continue to participate in any star races.

If they do well in Koshien and participate in the Stars in the Tokyo area, there may be no small risk.

Because once you don't perform well in the All-Star Game, there is a good chance that your excellent performance in Koshien will be wiped out.

Professional scouts or university supervisors think that the Seido High School baseball team is just relying on the fact that the other team is not familiar with their own style.

Once their style is mastered, they will soon be defeated.

This is something that the players of the Seido High School baseball team have a hard time accepting.

If they don't perform well on the field in Koshien. Then coming back to participate in the star game, even if the performance is excellent, the impression left on people is probably not much better.

Only when you face an opponent you are familiar with can you show your strength.

The future achievements of such a baseball player are bound to be very limited.

So no matter from which point of view, it doesn't make sense to let the third-year players of the Seido High School baseball team participate in such a game.

It doesn't make sense to the third-graders, and it makes even less sense to the Seido High School baseball team......

After all, compared to other new teams, they have a month less run-in time.

Last year, the Seido High School baseball team lost a game against the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team, and a large part of the reason was because of this.

Kataoka hesitated, and finally stood up very resolutely, and also bowed deeply to the vice president of TV Tokyo.

"Thank you for your respect, but for our disciples, they have more important things to do now."

Superintendent Kataoka politely rejected the TV station's vice president's proposal.

It's not just about rejecting a person of high status, it's also challenging the principal and dean of students.

Although those two leaders have given great support to the construction of the baseball team.

But unlike Kataoka and other coaches, they support the baseball team not just for the sake of the players' future development.

A big part of the reason for them is because of the support of the board of directors.

Without the strong support of the school board, no matter how much the fat principal and dean of students love baseball, they would not have been able to support the baseball team to the extent it is now.

On the other hand, the reason is that after the team plays the results, the school can also follow suit.

The team that entered Koshien is very exposed.

Qingdao High School, why has it become the top wealthy family in people's impressions? In large part, it is due to the excellent results of their school's baseball team.

It is precisely for this reason that the fat principal and the director of education have such a big obsession with entering Koshien.

Now, TV Tokyo has taken the initiative to organize such a competition. Such a star game is to be broadcast live throughout the whole process, and there are also personal interviews with the players.

Not to mention the whole country, at least in the Tokyo area, almost all teenagers who like baseball can see it.

What a publicity opportunity!

If you let the fat principal and the director of teaching, know that Superintendent Kataoka turned away such a distinguished guest.

They are going to go crazy.

And Kataoka, who chose to reject the other party's proposal at this time, has obviously made plans in this regard.

No matter how violent the principal and the dean of students are, no matter how thunderous they are.

For the future development of the team, for the future of the player, he will still choose to refuse.

Minister Ota rubbed his hands nervously.

He could actually guess how Superintendent Kataoka would choose?

It's just that when Superintendent Kataoka really made this choice, his heart was still nervous.

Is this TV Tokyo?

TV Tokyo, in this country, is not inferior to CCTV in Zhang Han's hometown.

There was even a saying in the outside world, no matter how big the famine is, no matter what kind of disaster there is?

As long as TV Tokyo didn't jump out to talk about it.

That's a little thing.

Once TV Tokyo reports it, it will probably be an apocalyptic event.

Although this is a joke, it is not difficult to see through the appearance of this joke that TV Tokyo's status in this country has reached an incredible level?

The vice president of such a TV station, although not the only vice president, is the youngest. He is also the most likely person to take the helm of TV Tokyo in the future.

It takes courage to refuse his request.

"It's Mr. Kataoka, a true warrior!"

Coach Ochiai, who pinched the mustache on his chin, also had a different color in his eyes.

Supervisor Kataoka's performance also shocked him to a great extent.

If this happened to me, even if I knew that such an arrangement would not be of any help to the Qingdao High School baseball team, would I refuse?

The answer, I'm afraid, is no.

Ochiai didn't even have to hesitate to think of the choice he would make.

As the saying goes, if you can't work from the east, you will be tired to death!

Supervision is also a job, and it is necessary to satisfy your superiors and leaders. Because if your boss or leader is not satisfied, no matter how good your work is, it can't be regarded as a credit.

Purely from the school's standpoint, whether it is the personal visit of the vice president of TV Tokyo, or the fact that Kataoka leads such a star competition.

It's all very revealing things.

Is it impossible for the leaders of the school to disagree?

As for the possible impact on the reputation of the third-year players. as well as delaying the formation of new teams......

In the eyes of the principal and the dean of students, these things are nothing.

As long as the players perform well in Koshien, they will come back and continue to do well.

In this way, no one can hide the brilliance of the players.

Time to form a new team!

After playing Koshien's Seido, the new team was formed, which was originally nearly a month later than others.

What's wrong with two more days late?

The reasons that Superintendent Kataoka could think of were not reasons at all in the eyes of the school leaders.

Doesn't Superintendent Kataoka know about this?

Of course Superintendent Kataoka knew.

Since last year, he has led the team to Koshien, and his relationship with the school's top management has eased a little.

In the past, the two sides were not much different, if not against Maimang.

Does Superintendent Kataoka not know what the school leaders think? Will he wonder how jealous the school's leaders will be if he rejects the offer?

How can it be?

Kataoka knows, and must know.

Knowing this, he still resolutely did it.

Even if it was Ochiai, at this time, he could only silently shout, "Awesome!" ”

No wonder he is an overseer, and he can only be his deputy now.

For a team as enterprising as the Seido High School baseball team, perhaps only a supervisor like Kataoka can lead them all the way through obstacles.

Originally, the three of them thought that when Kataoka said his refusal, the other party would definitely leave.

I never thought of it......

"It's set for the third day after the Koshien game, and the whole All-Star Game is just one day. Play in the morning and start the game in the afternoon. We're going to make these clips into three episodes......"

The thickness of the face of the vice president of TV Tokyo is beyond the understanding and imagination of ordinary people.

As if he hadn't heard Kataoka's refusal, he directly told his plan.

Don't think about other teams, and wholeheartedly cooperate with the time of the Seido High School baseball team.

After the Koshien Tournament, come back for a day off and record a day's program.

Then take a holiday......

From the perspective of timing, the loss of the Seido High School baseball team is almost negligible.

Now there are only two questions left.

The first question is whether the arrogant players can agree?

After all, if the Seido High School baseball team continues to play smoothly, the Koshien game will be over until late August.

Will players from other teams still be willing to participate in such a star game when the time comes?

On the contrary, before the Seido High School baseball team left for Hyogo Prefecture, the players of these teams had time because they had not yet had a holiday.

It's just that because the Seido High School baseball team has to prepare for the Koshien game, it is difficult to find time to send their core main team out to participate in such a show.

Another problem is that although the opponent's arrangement minimizes the loss of the Seido High School baseball team.

But it's only the lowest, not completely harmless.

Again, this matter doesn't seem to be of any benefit to the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

"How can they participate in things that are not beneficial?"

"It's only one game, but we're going to pick five stars. The five contestants received five million, two million, one million, and two encouragement prizes of 500,000 yuan. ”

The total prize money is 9 million, and even if it is converted into mainland currency, the value is hundreds of thousands......

It has to be said that money is still very attractive.

After hearing the other party's bonus, Minister Ota and Coach Ochiai's breathing became noticeably heavier.

If you can get such a bonus, not to mention how the amount of the bonus can bring to the player's life?

Just with the money, in the future, the players will choose to pursue a career or go directly to a higher institution for further study.

It's all a good ladder.

You must know that the average professional player earns only 30 or 50 million a year.

The first place is five million, which is equivalent to earning a professional player for one or two months in one day.

And who will end up with this award?

This is a real problem if the players of the Seido High School baseball team do not participate. Nari Gongming's hope is undoubtedly the greatest, but it is not without variables.

However, once the Seido High School baseball team chooses to participate, the reward for the first place is almost not what the second person thinks.

When it comes to monsters, who better to speak of them than the players on their Seido High School baseball team?

"Although the rewards are huge, I wonder if the players from other teams will be able to?"

There are a lot of rewards, but only 5 people are rewarded, and not everyone can get them.

Some self-aware little star players are very likely to give up.

Once there are more star players who give up, then this game becomes a joke, even if the players of the Seido High School baseball team won the championship in it.

It's still just a joke.

"We have consulted with other teams and they are very understanding of the situation of Qingdao Dao. Especially the high-profile third-year players, Omae, Harada, Hirai ......"

The other party said a long list of names.

Basically, there are well-known third-year star players in the Tokyo area, and they have all been included.

Although such a game makes them a little embarrassed. After all, when the game starts in late August, they seem to have become a supporting role, specifically supporting Seido High School.

This made the rivals of the Qingdao High School baseball team feel as if they had eaten half a fly while eating.

It's kind of disgusting.

But considering the exposure of TV Tokyo, and the banknotes that beckoned to them.

These players still chose to participate very sincerely.

In addition to this, there is a very important reason because they were not able to participate in Koshien in their final year. This star game is a good exposure opportunity for them.

The more heroic the players of the Seido High School baseball team performed on the field in Koshien, the more congratulatory the results they won.

The more attention they receive in this star game.

From this point of view, their feelings about the Qingdao High School baseball team are also complicated.

"I agree to let the third-graders participate!"

Eventually, Superintendent Kataoka relented.

The opponent's attention to this game is obviously not as simple as a gimmick.

He genuinely wants to build the Tokyo Baseball brand......

For Tokyo, which has two or three hundred high schools, they do have such qualifications.

The current Tokyo race is just called Koshien.

And the vice president of TV Tokyo obviously wants to turn this nickname into a brand.

It's no wonder that the other party was so polite and virtuous before.

This matter is also of great benefit to the Qingdao High School baseball team.

After all, after Tokyo's brand is built, the Seido High School baseball team, which is the top giant in western Tokyo, will definitely follow.

Superintendent Kataoka agreed to let the third-year contestants participate.

But the vice president of TV Tokyo and the young man didn't show much smile on their faces.

Obviously, this result is not what they want most.

"You know, if you want to build this brand, it's not enough to rely on the popularity of our TV station, the performance of the players is also crucial. So I sincerely hope that you will be able to guide you at that time, and there will be Zhang Han as a ......"

Nine home runs, record-breaking maniac!

If Zhang Han can't participate, what kind of star competition is it?

Superintendent Kataoka hesitated slightly.

"I'll ask Zhang Han's opinion."

Regarding Zhang Han's contact with the media, Superintendent Kataoka's consistent attitude is deeply disgusted.

He is very optimistic about Zhang Han's talent, and because he is optimistic about Zhang Han's talent, he doesn't want Zhang Han to be disturbed by this kind of thing anyway.

It's just that as Zhang Han becomes more and more visible, no matter how unwilling Inspector Kataoka is, there is no way to protect Zhang Han as tightly as before.

There are some things that are destined for him to face on his own.

After the two people from TV Tokyo left, Superintendent Kataoka directly called Zhang Han over.

"A star race in the Tokyo area?"

Zhang Han was still very surprised by this news.

However, he also has to admire that the planner of TV Tokyo really has two brushes and is really good at seizing time.

There's no better way to promote baseball in Tokyo.

After all, there are too many star players and talented players emerging from various giant teams this year.

But for being on TV, Zhang Han is naturally resistant. Even if he wanted to fight the opponents he had fought before, he wouldn't force himself for the sake of this thought.

"If it's a free choice, I'm not going!"
