Japan's seniority ranking phenomenon is relatively serious, Kitahara Shuji thought at first that Uchida Yuma was bragging again, I don't know if he is a substitute in the bench, mainly in the team responsible for handing towels to the big guys, it is very likely that he will not be able to play at all.

But he never expected that in the second inning, he saw Uchida Yuma wearing a full set of protective gear with a bitter face, and started warming up in front of the cowshed with the pitcher, and was sent to the court in the third inning.

Before the start of the third game, the score of the two sides was 10:0, with Nagano River in front and the private Daifuku Gakuen in the back.

Nagano River High School is a comprehensive high school in Owari Asahi City, and it is not a famous school, and the performance of the summer armor last year was also mediocre, but this year I don't know whether it was through hell training or a number of strong newcomers, or hired a smart coach, and launched a storm at the beginning.

It's not just the traditional three, four, or five sticks that are strong.,But from the first one.,Nagano River, except for the eight or nine sticks that are slightly weak.,Every hitter is very strong.,Great strength.,And the judgment of the ball path is extremely accurate.,Extraordinarily calm and calm.,Directly hit the starting shooting combination of the private Daifuku School Park to an imbalance in mentality.。

Nagano River scored 4 points in the first game of offense,After the three out of the offensive and defensive exchange,It seems to know quite well the details of the private Daifuku School Park,Knowing that Daifuku has no strong hitters in the first three bats,Direct outfield forward pressure,Pressing defense,And the pitcher is also quite powerful,Three strikeouts,Cooperate with teammates to directly suffocate two,Daifuku Academy's more threatening four bats are not scheduled to end in the first game,Score 0。

The second Nagano River seemed to capture Daifuku's pitcher's ball path more accurately, and he actually hit a home run on the first hit, which directly caused Daifuku's pitcher's mentality to collapse, and he made frequent mistakes, and finally Nagano River easily scored 6 points.

The offense and defense of the two sides were exchanged again, and Nagano River had already occupied such a big advantage, but he could not be arrogant or impatient, it seems that there was a tactical arrangement, the pitcher stabilized four bad balls and sent four bats to first base, and the strongest hitter in the private Daifuku School Park didn't even wave the bat, and he didn't even get the opportunity to boost morale, so he went to the first base and stayed on first base, and then watched the five, six, and seven bats being knocked out by three consecutive strikeouts - his base was meaningless, and the people behind couldn't push him.

The third game hasn't started yet.,The pitcher mentality of Dafu School Park has completely collapsed.,How do he shoot the ball, how do you play?,It's purely a point to go up again.,So the first-grade shooting combination cultivated as a reserve force was pushed onto the field.,Ready to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.。

Uchida Yuma's first battle in Koshien is here, but I shouldn't want to look at him. Kitahara Shuji watched him turn back three times when he walked to home plate to defend, which was very pitiful, and he had no confidence at all, saying that it was better to go to the game than to go to the execution ground.

Kitahara Shuji no longer understands baseball, and now he understands that this is not a level of competition at all, a bit like a professional boxer beating a kindergarten child - or a child in a small class.

He turned to Shikishima Ritsu and asked, "Ryu, what's going on?"

Shikijima Ritsu was also stunned, "This ......" He watched last year's video not like this. He knew more about it than Kitahara Shuji, so he was even more surprised than Kitahara Shuji and was speechless for a while.

Xue Li also rarely stopped stuffing snacks into her mouth, pinched her chin and muttered, "Is our school really so weak?

Yoko Ono didn't understand, but she could look at her face, and when she saw the atmosphere, she knew that the current situation didn't seem to be good, so she honestly shrank aside and didn't say a word.

It took Ritsu Shikishima a long time to stabilize his mind, and he looked at Uchida Yuma, who was squatting on home base, with concern, and said reluctantly to Kitahara Shuji: " At present, Nagano River has become stronger this year, and it may go very far, they have a real sense of the line, and the striking firepower is a bit like the previous Ikeda Hao Storm, everyone is strong, and if there is no excellent shooting combination, they can't suppress their scoring ability, and their defensive tactical choices are also good, they should have been prepared for a long time, although the pitcher seems to be a newcomer, but it is also above the average level...... This ......"

Kitahara Shuji tapped a little, which means that he can't stop the other party from scoring, and it's difficult for his side to score, isn't this a loss?

He finally got serious, carefully observed the comparison of the players on both sides, and found that Nagano River's players were more fit, although it was a little difficult to distinguish through the baseball shirt, but he could barely identify that Nagano River's upper body was an inverted triangle body, and it was not easy to lift the clothes and everyone had eight-pack abs, and the upper arm was obviously thicker than the players in the private Daifuku School Park, and it was very likely that he consciously entered a large number of upper limb strength training under the guidance of professionals.

The other party is really more prepared, just look at the battle Nagano River is obviously ambitious......

And the third inning of the game began, Uchida Yuma squatted on home plate and observed the hitter of Nagano River, constantly sending code signals to the pitcher partner, and the pitcher, who was also a first-year, obviously couldn't believe Uchida Yuma, or saw the third-year seniors kneeling so miserably, and they were timid before fighting, and they hesitated to move, and kept wiping sweat nervously.

But he can't help but pitch, and his level is not as good as the starting pitcher, the ball speed is slower, and the psychological quality of the first major tournament is not good, and he actually sent three opponents and sent the opponent a full base through four consecutive bad balls - this is not only him, even the referee is confused.

The situation is even worse.

Kitahara Shuji stood up and leaned over to look at the cowshed of the private Daifuku School Park.,I want to see why the coach didn't give instructions.,It's just that I can't see it clearly with myself.,And at this time, the supervising teacher of the private Daifuku School Park also seemed to be in a hurry.,Took a few steps forward.,Desperately gesturing to the pitcher.,Signaling him to calm down quickly.,And this back made Kitahara Shuji stunned.。

It's still an acquaintance, isn't this the school doctor Hanako Suzuki?

It's a joke, isn't it? You're a school nurse to coach a baseball club? Is the school crazy?

Kitahara Shuji was a little incredulous, but it seemed that there was no other teacher, and it was indeed her who gave instructions, pointing to Suzuki Hanako and asking Shikijima Ritsu, "What is that person doing?"

"The supervising teachers who led the team. ”

"Coach?"

"No, there is no coach in our school's baseball club, and Mr. Suzuki is just leading the team to prevent accidents on the way for students. ”

Kitahara Shuji sat down again.,Okay.,It's estimated that the private Daifuku School Park feels that it's unreliable to enter the Koshien.,I didn't spend much energy on this at all.,It's up to the students to play by themselves.。

The importance of the game between the two sides is completely different, and it is really an eye-opener to win in this way.

Sure enough, the next two innings were completely crushing, and the home plate that Uchida Yuma held on to was in and out at will by the opponent like the stairwell, passing one after a while, and one after another, and he was also hit to the imbalance of mentality, and he couldn't even catch his partner's ball, and he made continuous active mistakes, either sending the opponent to base or giving the opponent points.

In the end, the referee couldn't bear it.,Seeing that the private Daifuku School Park even lost its fighting spirit.,The game ended in five rounds - there is no "effective game" in the Koshien finals, and you can score as many points as you want, but the local competition talks about this, so as not to consume the physical strength of the strong team in vain when it collides too strong and too weak.

At the moment, it is clear that the Nagano River and the private Daifuku Gakuen are not on the same level, and there is no point in comparing any further, so it is better to protect the promising team - this is a tournament that almost all universities will participate in, and the level of each team varies greatly. Just like this time, it can only be said that Nagano River High School was extremely lucky, and it was drawn to the upper lottery, and it was almost guaranteed to enter the second round, second only to the draw bye.

The air defense siren sounded again.,A group of remnants of the defeated soldiers in the private Daifuku School Park were not neatly lined up.,After barely shaking hands with the other party, they sat down directly for a few.。

Kitahara Shuji covered his face,I don't really want to look at the scoreboard-20:0,Private Daifuku School Park didn't score a point,Regardless of personal physical fitness、Technical and tactical level、Fighting field,Fully crushed by the other party,And this can only be regarded as half a game,If you play the whole game,According to the mentality of the private Daifuku School Park explosion of this bear-like,Maybe you can play a basketball game.。

"Let's go!" said as both players exited, and Kitahara stood up.

Yoko stood up obediently and took his hand again, and Yukiri muttered very dissatisfied with the result, feeling that he had lost a lot of money by running all the way to watch only half of the game, and he was trying to say that the school girls' softball team might play better than these boys, at least they would not be shaved by the other party and lose face in the entire Aichi Prefecture.

Shikijima Ritsu didn't have anything to say, it seemed more uncomfortable than he had lost, and he followed behind with his head bowed with a gloomy face.

They waited at the exit of the passage for a while, and the people from the private Daifuku came out. Carrying a bag and hanging her head, and Suzuki Hanako followed with a soft voice to comfort, giving psychological counseling to the students, which can be regarded as a major of her school doctor, but obviously with any effect, the soul of the whole team seems to have been defeated, like a group of zombies.

Shikijima Ritsu stood aside and bowed his head and saluted: "Hard work, senior!" But no one paid attention to him, those second grades, especially the third grade, lost the prestige of their usual seniors, and they all bowed their heads with a look of regret and pain.

Maybe you regret not sweating a little bit during training, or maybe you hate the lottery for drawing such a first-time opponent?

Uchida followed at the end, he didn't even carry the bag, he carried it in his hand but the strap was not adjusted properly, it was too long, so he dragged himself all the way and didn't pay attention, looking like he had lost the battle and fled in embarrassment. When he saw Kitahara Hideji and Shikijima Ritsu, he stood stunned, his eyes were blank, his face was like ashes, and he muttered after a while: "Airu, Kitahara, am I not suitable for playing baseball?"

He felt good playing at school, and this time he came to the competition, it felt like he was back at the kindergarten level.

Kitahara Shuji sighed, and Shikijima Ritsu hurriedly comforted him: "It's just that the opponent is too strong this time, male, don't give up your dreams!"

Uchida Yuma stared at him blankly for a while, lowered his head and suddenly cried, choked up: "My dream is dead, my hot-blooded youth is over...... I also told Junko-chan that I would dedicate this victory to her, what should I do?

Shuji Kitahara patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort. A few days ago, this thing said that it was going to dedicate the victory to the friendship between several of them, did this turn around and give it to the girl from the Eight Sakura Girls' School who looked at her face? But it doesn't matter anymore, and I didn't get the victory anyway......

Shikijima Ritsu didn't care about Uchida Yuma carrying him and Junko Sakamoto to continue to keep in touch online, but just put his arm around his shoulders and comforted him softly - everyone values different things, and for a teenager like Uchida, he can't remember this competition for years if he loses this competition.

It's not impossible that you won't even want to play baseball again.

Originally, the original plan was to play in the local area for a while after watching the ball, such as trying the famous local specialty miso soup or something, but now that Uchida Yuma has become like this, no one mentioned it again.

Everyone went straight back to Nagoya with the team's big bus, got off the bus and announced the disbandment directly, Shikishima Ritsu gave Kitahara Shuiji an apologetic look, and then took Uchida Yuma away, as if he wanted to send him home directly - Uchida Yuma is in a bad mental state now, and it seems that his self-confidence has been hit hard, and he is beginning to doubt his life.

Seeing them leave, Kitahara Shuji asked Yukiri, "Do you want to go back with me to study or ......?"

Xueli hurriedly interrupted his words and sighed lowly: "I'm in a bad mood today, Xiuci, let's not study!" Alas, I knew that I would lose so badly, so I didn't go to see it, my sister is right, our school has no background, the ball club is full of weak chickens, and participating in the national competition is completely going to death...... Well, I went straight home. ”

She was afraid that Kitahara Shuji would have to get her back to the apartment to do the problem, so she waved her hand and ran away.

Kitahara Shuji doesn't care about her, and is going to make up for her homework tomorrow, so she should be given a half-day vacation today, after all, she has been studying by two top students during this time, which is hard enough.

He led Yoko to the station and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yoko, I wasted most of your time." "There's no point in going to watch the game today, I guess time can be turned back, and it's not good that Yuma Uchida can kneel on the ground and beg him and Ritsu Shikijima to say goodbye.

When I went back to school, I didn't know if I was shaved in the first round of the private Daifuku School Park Regional Competition, and I played a rare score of 20:0 to be able to report to the school, and I was embarrassed in the whole school, and I directly took over the football club to become the laughing stock of the new week.

Yoko was very well-behaved, shook her head again and again, and said with a sweet smile: "It's nothing, Onisan, I saw a lot of new things today, it's very interesting." She paused, and then comforted: "Don't be too sad if Onisan's school loses, it's better to compete next time." ”

Kitahara Shuji smiled: "I'm not sad, but just looking at the way they look, I feel that no matter what the game, it's good to win!"

Life is the same, it will be painful to fail, and only when you win can you laugh. How uncomfortable Uchida's horses are now, I don't know how happy they are on the Nagano River side - they should be happy, and they took a big step towards the top of the mountain.

And Uchida Yuma goes to train every afternoon, this investment is a waste, just wait for August to watch the Koshien finals from TV, in case Nagano River enters Koshien this year, regardless of whether he can take out the Chigan banner or not, just show his face on TV and estimate that Uchida Yuma will have a complicated mood.

Kitahara Shuji and Yoko chatted all the way back to the apartment, and as soon as they went up to the fourth floor, Yoko was startled and screamed softly, and Kitahara Shuji looked up and found that the front door of Yoko's house was open, and the apartment administrator was directing two or three workers to move things out, and they were piled up in the corridor randomly, as if they were ready to be discarded.

"You...... What are you doing?" she didn't like that it was Yoko's home after all, so she hurriedly ran over.

The apartment administrator also noticed Yoko, recognized it twice, and asked a little strangely, "Are you a child of the Ono family, why are you still here?"
