Day 12, Game 1, Waseda Real (West Tokyo) vs Narita (Chiba).
The game hasn't started yet, but the TV program host has already begun the pregame warm-up session.
The large screen next to the host displays images of the two star players who are the focus of both teams:
Under the Waseda Real's label on the left side of the screen, is a photo of Lin Guanglai pitching—his handsome features, coupled with his tall physique and powerful pitching pose, exude a sense of beauty; his puffed cheeks when exerting force add a touch of cuteness;
Under the Narita label on the right side of the screen is Narita's ace, Nakagawa Ryosuke, standing on the pitcher's mound roaring—in the photo, Nakagawa's face is fierce as he strikes out opposing batters, expressing his emotions with a loud roar.
In the photos, one ace is a freshman, the other a junior; one is dynamic, the other static, vividly presenting a scene of fierce rivalry, unwilling to yield.
