Chapter 368: Preparation for the Second Round
Suzuki Noki didn't mention the Divine Light much, their opponent in one battle was Qing Yu Sen, and under the single-elimination system, if they couldn't beat Qing Yu Sen, even if the Holy Light was all Zenith, it had nothing to do with them.
She just observed the expressions of the players below to see who was more combative, to see who was afraid, and then ordered the first-year juniors to turn on the projector and began to introduce the tactical style of the Qingyusen High School Baseball Club, who needed special attention.
She doesn't spend much time on studying on weekdays, and she is idle to do this kind of bird thing, and she does like baseball more, and she also has money and means, and the statistics are very detailed, and Kitahara Shuji has been practicing for a long time, of course, she also wants to play a little bit in her heart - if you don't compete, why do you practice?
He listened very carefully, and Suzuki didn't really pay much attention to Aotammori High School.
This time they drew lots and said it was good, and it was not so good. Say it,The opponent in the first battle is not strong.,It's about a little stronger than the previous private Daifuku School Happy Baseball School.,Can have a good game adaptation process;It's not good.,The second battle is going to meet the top boss in this division-The opponent of the first battle of the divine light is not strong.,No one believes that the holy light will lose.,Then it's not good that these people will be blown up in the second battle.,Go home directly.,A year's hard work turned into water.。
After she finished explaining, she announced a series of recent joint training requirements, and even Kitahara Shuji would participate, and then announced the back number - Kitahara Shuji is No. 1, and Yukiri is No. 2.
No one has any opinions, one is that the reputation of strength is there, and the other is that the number is assigned according to the position in the first appearance of the Koshien game, pitcher No. 1, catcher No. 2, no problem.
Then Suzuki announced the nine-man starting list for the first round of the regional tournament, but there was no Kitahara Shuji and Yukiri, and they were put on the bench.
Xueli had been listening very calmly, but at this time she couldn't help it, and asked directly, "Naixi, won't you let me play?"
The old strong school has aroused her fighting spirit, and the bat in her hand is already hungry and thirsty.
Noki Suzuki was extra patient with her, and explained with a smile: "Yukiri-chan, baseball is at least half a data game, and our biggest advantage is that all teams don't have our data." You and Kitahara are our trump cards, there is no need to expose them to the strong team in advance - you are prepared for the relay, and you are just observing the first game as a last resort. ”
Yukiri lowered his head and thought about it, understood, and stopped saying a word - this is to let himself go to crusade against the enemy general in the first battle, yes, it is my job that Yukiri Fukuzawa should be responsible for.
The strategy has been decided, and then it's time to prepare for the Koshien Regional Tournament.
Kitahara Shuji on the grounds that he wanted to compete for the glory of the school, he asked for a strict supervising teacher to ask for leave for special training and joint training, and this is something that the school itself strongly supports, and his academic performance is good, although Naganoha is obviously not very happy, but in the end he did not object, just warned him that if his academic performance fluctuated, don't blame her for turning her face and not recognizing people, and kicked him back to the ordinary class in the special progress class.
The school was very cooperative, so the collective training began, and Kitahara Shuji finally developed from the throwing practice to the serious game - the intra-team competition, the first army and the second army were mixed, and the throwing and catching combination was against their own line.
After the draw, there was a preparation period of more than half a month, and this preparation period passed quickly, and the time came to the stage of the regional competition.
Suzuki Noki thought very well, tried to preserve his strength, and barely won the best of Qingyusen High School, not showing the mountains and water, and then sacrificed two powerful killer weapons when he fought the divine light in the second battle, and caught the enemy by surprise and killed them directly, but things in the world are often not as planned as changes......
"Did you do it?" At lunch, Kitahara Shuji looked at Noki Suzuki and asked directly.
Suzuki Noki was a little embarrassed, but he still replied with patience: "No, I don't need this kind of trick to deal with Qingyumori." ”
Kitahara Shuji took a closer look at Suzuki Noshi's facial expression, and felt that her words did not look like a fake - now they have a limited relationship of mutual trust, but Suzuki Noki has a bad record, and the discipline value is extremely low, in order to achieve the goal, it is completely possible to come up with some despicable means.
This happened, Kitahara Shuji couldn't help but suspect what Suzuki Noki had done, even if she thought rationally that she wouldn't, but she would still doubt it from the bottom of her heart.
Xueli was eating deliciously, and asked curiously, "Xiuji, Naiki, what are you talking about?"
Kitahara Shuji nodded lightly to Noki Suzuki, apologizing for the questioning just now, and explained to Yukiri: "The Ayamamori High School Baseball Club was involved in a violent incident and was disqualified. ”
This is what Uchida Yuma told him by email.,The excitement overflows beyond the text - inexplicably he created the best result in the baseball club of the private Daifuku School Park.,I can go directly to the second game.。
Yukiri was still curious: "What kind of violence? Did they fight?"
"I heard that there are many members involved in the gang brawl incident, and a bunch of bullying incidents in the school, this year their club will not be able to participate, and next year it is estimated that it will be enough to choke. ”
Japanese society is very sensitive to violent incidents involving college students,On-campus bullying is a scandal,The organizing committee didn't hesitate to ban Qingyusen High School at all - this is absolutely politically correct recognized by society in Japan,No one will have an opinion.,Only applaud,And the private Daifuku School Park directly entered the second round of war.,It's a big bargain.。
But the previous preparations were in vain, Suzuki was very angry when she got the news, and Kitahara Shuji's first reaction was to doubt her, which made her feel even more uncomfortable - what kind of image am I in your heart, you doubt me so much all day long?
This scene, changed to Dongmei Hachi, and today I have to fight to the death with Kitahara Shuji, but she doesn't, she pretends that it didn't happen.
She smiled and groaned: "This is actually better, so that the Divine Light can't get any data at all, thinking that we are lucky to enter the second battle, and we can still catch them off guard at that time, but Master Beiyuan, you have to be careful, the Divine Light's line is very strong, and you haven't even felt the atmosphere of the arena to encounter this kind of strong enemy......"
The Koshien race is also a process of development, and nothing is set in stone. First of all, the pitchers had an absolute advantage, the batters were abused, and clean sheets were commonplace, and then Koshien introduced metal bats in order to make the game more enjoyable, which caused a ten-year storm of big hits, and the batters all beat the pitchers collectively B, and now in order to protect the pitchers, Koshien changed the baseball and bat in the commemorative year, but in the first year, it was difficult to say what the situation was, and the ghost knows which side will prevail next.
Kitahara Shuji only had a first glimpse of baseball, and humbly asked: "The line is strong, how strong?"
"They are baseball celebrities, different from ordinary schools, it's not that someone is a strong baseball, but the main selection is a strong baseball, connected into a line, the pressure on the pitcher will be very great, the details will be explained when I go to the tactical room in the afternoon - they are frequent visitors to Koshien, this is not a fluke, it all depends on their playing line, and it must not be taken lightly. As he spoke, Noki Suzuki's expression became cautious and slightly worried.
Strategically it is possible to despise the enemy, but tactically it is necessary to value the enemy.
Kitahara Shuji nodded lightly, but Yukiri didn't care, and said confidently: "Naiki, don't be afraid, I am invincible with Xiuji, Xiuji will suppress their line, unstoppable, and I will let them know how powerful Japan's No. 1 fighting king is, invincible! We will take you to Koshien and do what we say...... Xiuji, do you still eat this piece of meat?"
"You eat!" Kitahara Shuji replied casually, and then said seriously to Suzuki Noki: "Don't worry, I will try my best to suppress them." ”
Noki Suzuki is a complicated person in his eyes, she plays Koshien to make a name for herself, it may be that she is setting off smoke bombs to lower her father's vigilance, or she may want to fight for fame and save her life - the more famous she is, the lower the probability of being killed in secret.
Or all three possibilities, Kitahara Shuji can't tell the difference, Suzuki always likes to hide one hand and show one hand when he does things and talk, he feels very annoying, but no matter what Suzuki thinks, since he participated, he tried to win.
In this world, only betrayal is unforgivable, only failure is unacceptable!
Kitahara Shuji usually thinks it doesn't matter, so he thinks Suzuki is messing around, but when he really encounters a strong opponent, his competitiveness naturally rises, and he is ready to practice more in the next time.
Even if you fail, you will fight and lose!
…………
Time has entered the middle of May in a blink of an eye, the first round of the battle is over, and the second round of the war has officially begun - most of the regional competitions are concentrated in June and July, but Aichi Prefecture is a little bigger, there are more schools, and more importantly, its main stadium is an old semi-open-air style, concentrated in June and July The game is just in time for the rainy season in Kanzhong, and there are not many sunny days, which is really too disturbing, so the game starts here very early.
For example, in a small competition area where more than 30 schools from Tottori Prefecture participated, let alone a battle at this time, eighty percent of them have not yet been drawn.
The schedule for their second round of the game is scheduled until half past one at noon, and the team manager An Yunai has already contacted the bus and started to load people on the bus early in the morning - there is nothing inconvenient, college competitions, try to pick up rest days, unless the weather does not allow it, it will occupy class time.
There are a lot of people who go, the thirteen people of the first army must all go, and the second army all go with them to watch the battle, and if they can't enter the cowshed, they have to go to the support seat and shout cheers, and at the same time the cheerleaders also have to go, ten people, all of them are beautiful little girls in the first grade - the walking wind club and the symphony club did not go, and the second round of the regional competition did not need to make such a big move.
In addition, the two associations are not optimistic about the private Daifuku VS Divine Light, and they feel that they must kneel, and they feel that there is no need to go.
Kitahara Shuji and Yukiri originally wanted to bring their families, especially Yukiri, and encouraged the whole family to watch her first game, but so many people almost blew up the bus, so they could only let the family members of the players take the car to the Okazaki Civic Stadium by themselves, and they were not very good at loading Fuyumi and them into the car alone.
Kitahara Shuji got into the car and sat with Yukiri, who was very excited and kept touching the bat, feeling like she was not going to play baseball, but like she was going to participate in a brawl.
Kitahara Shuji and Yukiri chatted about the bus and got on the road, and went straight to Okazaki City, and after walking not far, a person touched Kitahara Shuji's side and asked politely: "Kitahara-san, hello, do you have time?"
Kitahara Shuji looked sideways and found that it was Mika Eki, and couldn't help but wonder, "Eki-san, why are you here?"
"The baseball club went to Koshien and set a record for the best results in history, and the student council ordered the news department to make a special feature. "Eki Mika didn't dare to look at Kitahara Shuji squarely, just stared at the aisle floor, for fear of losing her temper - now it is rumored among girls that Kitahara Shuji is very demonic, and whoever looks at it is pregnant.
In addition, she is more interested in Xueli, after all, this is a rare female player in the baseball club, although she is not sure if Xueli is a vase, but she still wants to make a big news, mainly wants to interview her, but Kitahara Shuji is in the way, so it makes sense, she has to interview Kitahara Shuji first.
Kitahara Shuji thought about it and smiled, "Then please ask!"
For the sake of Uchida's face, he agreed, and now that the game has not been played, Mika Eki asked about the team's ambitions, Kitahara Shuji's confidence, when did he start playing baseball, and what kind of feelings he has for baseball...... After the official questioning, she began to ask about Xueli again, and Xueli took out a piece of paper from her pocket and gave it to her, and said happily: "Eki, this is given to me by Naixi, saying that someone wants to ask me, just press this, you can take it and see it yourself." ”
Mika Eki took it in confusion, and was stunned on the spot, and then looked at Yukiri's eyes and sympathized - your family is so miserable?
