In the Japanese anime of the last century, sports was an important theme, because the wide spread of manga has also influenced the dreams of countless teenagers. There is no shortage of classics in this genre, such as the familiar Slam Dunk Master and Soccer Kid, which are popular not only in Japan, but also gain many fans in China.
In addition to these two films, in Japan in the last century, there is also a sports anime work with the same name as these two - "Baseball Heroes", perhaps baseball is not a very popular sport in China, so it has not produced the same popularity as Japan after being broadcast in the mainland, but it has become the childhood memories of many post-8090s.
<h1>The earliest love triangle</h1>
Different from "Slam Dunk Master" and "Football Boy", "Baseball Hero" tells the story of a teenager chasing baseball dreams at the same time, but also focuses on a rather heart-wrenching love triangle, the younger brother of the twins in the play, Kazuya Kazuya, and the heroine Asano is recognized as a campus lover, but the heroine loves her brother who looks "very indisputable" - Kamiya Tatsuya, and the story between the three unfolds.
In the end, because his brother lost his life in order to save people, his brother was stimulated, changed his past decadence, inherited his brother's baseball dream, and confessed his heart to the heroine Asano nan after successfully advancing to the Koshien Tournament. This may be the earliest depiction of campus love triangle on Chinese television in the last century, which makes people wonder, probably because "Baseball Heroes" itself is an animation work, but also a sports theme, and the reviewers are very merciful, so that this classic animation can become a good memory of many people's childhood.
Therefore, "Baseball Heroes" can still have a market in China without a baseball foundation, probably only because many people, like boatmen, watch it as the earliest campus love drama. And I have to say that its emotional drama part, even if it is put in the present, is not at all conventional, and it can be called a classic word.
<h1>Japan's "Koshien"</h1>
As mentioned earlier, the twin brother Kazuya's baseball dream is actually to qualify for the Koshien Tournament and achieve good results. When I was still in elementary school, I was once very confused about what "Koshien" was, and even asked a classmate in the class with the word "Koen" in his name, of course, this would not be the result.
In fact, Koshien can be said to be a household name in Japan, with a history of more than 100 years. Since the Americans brought baseball to Japan at the end of the nineteenth century, Japan, which was bent on catching up with Europe and the United States, immediately fell in love with the sport. By the beginning of the twentieth century, each university in Japan had its own baseball team, and often competed between schools, with the most intense duel between Waseda University and Keio University (now Keio University).
Because of the difficulty of playing, the two colleges and universities did not make any trouble, which eventually led to the cancellation of the competition. But then a new tournament league was formed, and in 1914, Meiji University, Hosei University, and Rikkyo University joined in. Ten years later, Tokyo Imperial University (today's University of Tokyo) joined the alliance, which was the prototype of the Koshien Competition.
Today, after more than a hundred years of development, the Koshien Competition has become a national sports event with nearly 4,000 colleges and universities participating, registering 150,000 baseball players, and according to the competition system and sponsors, it is divided into two major competitions in the Spring Festival Koshien and the Summer Koshien, the sponsor of the Spring Festival Koshien is the daily news of Japan, the participating teams do not need to carry out the elimination match, but are voted by the organizing committee according to the team's performance in the past year, so that the same county that is avoided has more than one high-level team. And because of the embarrassment that only the champion can participate.
The sponsor of Summer Koshien is Japan's Asahi Shimbun, and the participating teams need to be the champions of their prefectures to qualify for the Koshien Tournament, which is also the Koshien tournament mentioned in "Baseball Heroes". Later football and basketball (the national finals in "Slam Dunk Master") competition format, basically refer to this model.
In the picture is the Koshien Arena mentioned many times in "Baseball Heroes", which was completed in 1924, because according to the Tenganji Chronicle, the year is the year of Koshi, so the Japanese named it Koshien Grand Sports Field. Soon after the stadium was built, people planted ivy around the stadium, and the exterior wall of the stadium was almost occupied by it in the photo, which became a major feature of the Koshien sports field.
<h1>Baseball culture</h1>
Most Chinese are very familiar with the NBA in the United States, and even have a few star players in it, but few people know that the NBA is only the third in the four major leagues in the United States, in front of it is football and baseball, at the same time, baseball is still the national ball of Japan, why do these countries have such a love for baseball? In addition to the sport itself, the sports culture embodied in baseball should be an important reason for this. Considering that many people are not familiar with the rules of baseball, here is a brief introduction, first look at a treasure island elementary school version of the baseball field introduction.
A right-angled fan consists of a square with four corners of home, first, second, and third bases, where the center of the fan overlaps home base and is also where the attacker's batsman and the defending catcher are located. After the opening, the two teams will play two roles in attack and defense, attacking and defending have the opportunity to score, starting from home, running through first, second and third bases, and returning to home base to score 1 point. But the attacker's base is conditional, that is, the ball is not under the control of the defender: either in the air or on the ground.
This is also why home runs in baseball is often the climax, because the attacker's batsman punches the ball out of the field guardrail (the fan-shaped arc part), and the defender can no longer control the ball, which is a big run through first, second and third base to return to home base. If the attacker has reached first, second or third base before this, these attackers can also run to the home base to score after the home run, so the attacker will add 1 point for each additional base, and the most exciting one can get one point once, but this probability is very low, so it is called the golden home run (Grand Slam home run).
If the attacker happens to be in the process of running the base (not on any base), the ball is received by the defender before it lands, which is called a kill, and the attacker will be eliminated. At this time, it is time for the attacking and defending sides to compete for time, and the defender needs to pass as fast as possible to the next base position that the attacker is going to reach, and the attacker needs to reach the base position before that. If the ball arrives first, the attacker is eliminated, the attacker runs successfully, and if the lucky one happens to run to home base, he gets a point. In addition, if the attacker swings the bat three times in a row but does not hit the ball, the attacker will also be eliminated. If the attacker is eliminated three times in a row, he needs to change the offensive and defensive roles, one attack and one defense is a round, a total of nine innings, and if there is a tie, there is an extra round.
Of course, there are some more detailed parts of the baseball rules, such as good balls, bad balls, safe bases, etc., which will not be repeated here, interested partners can watch some past baseball games on the Internet, I believe it will be more effective.
It is also important to think quietly
Baseball is different from basketball and rugby, baseball is not a very confrontational sport, the whole game to see down, you will find that the athletes are still for a longer time than the time to move, which makes baseball on the basis of "moving" to add the charm of "static", static is not absolutely static, but in the quiet thinking, the bowler needs to guess the possible position of the batsman, the batsman needs to decide whether to hit the ball according to the betting ball, when the ball is hit, both sides need to predict whether the ball is landed or caught, Or a home run.
Learn to sacrifice in a way that never stops
When the batter successfully runs to the base, his fate is completely handed over to the next batter of his team, and he can only wait alone before the ball is struck. Baseball's base has to run along the edge of the square, starting from home base, along first, second, and third base, until you get back to home to score, and when you want to choose ease, or worry about being killed, the teammates running behind you have to move forward, have to leave the comfort zone, and move forward. This is also reflected in "Baseball Heroes", the elder brother Kameyama Tatsuno is the one who stays in the comfort zone and chooses to be comfortable, and the death of the younger brother forces the brother to leave the comfort zone, face risks and tests, and move forward.
In addition, baseball's running base needs to abide by the principle of only entering and not retreating, even if you know that the running base will fail, but for the sake of your teammates behind, you have to make sacrifices.
Every step leaves footprints
In baseball, every mistake of each player will be strictly recorded, and the player will follow the game record for a lifetime, even if you play more home runs, the mistakes you made can still be found at any time, becoming a brand that can never be changed. This is another big difference between baseball and basketball and football, basketball and volleyball, even if you don't grab the ball will not leave any record, after a game everyone estimates that they will forget, but baseball needs to pay a high price for their own mistakes, including themselves, but also teammates, this, like the cruelty of social competition.
Perhaps it is these baseball spirits that make more and more people fall in love with the sport, including the current China, which can't help but make people feel very happy. It is precisely because of the understanding of the spirit of baseball, looking back at "Baseball Heroes" is no longer a simple anime work.
Unfortunately, most of the post-8090s, even if they want to try the fun of baseball, they can only choose to watch the game, but for the current children, there are still opportunities, rather than following the trend to let children learn taekwondo, learn speed reading, it is better to take advantage of the holidays to let children understand the sport of baseball, through the interaction between parents and children or small partners, understand the wisdom of baseball and the sports spirit of bravery, fun and cooperation.
This children's soft plastic baseball toy, not only to avoid sports injuries that may be caused by sports, the price is also very cost-effective, the boatman here to recommend it.
