Having just won the championship of Chun University, Qingdao High School gave the friends a half-day vacation as usual. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because Yang Ping and Mei Gong played well, the pace of the final was also very fast. However, the game was over in just over an hour, and when the Qingdao friends returned to school, it was just time for lunch.

At this time, everyone learned the news of the Red and White War.

In fact, to say that the red and white war is a bit reluctant, the real red and white war refers to the game between the main team and the substitute team. Today's game is not so much a red and white match, but a welcome match.

In other schools, the Orientation Tournament is also one of the usual competitions, and almost every school plays it every year. This is a competition for new students to get acquainted with the environment, and most of them will have some kind of care.

But Qingdao is different! The purpose of the orientation game at Qingdao High School is only one, and that is to let the new students see what real high school baseball is.

Torture, blood!

Although these two words are a bit cruel, they aptly describe the main theme of the Qingdao High School Orientation Competition.

Of course, these are just rumors circulating among students, and Superintendent Kataoka is not shallow to this extent. The purpose of his orientation tournament is actually very simple, which is to select talents for the team.

This person can be either a second or third grade or a first grade. For the second- and third-year players, this is a great opportunity for them to advance to the first rank. Whether or not they can show the results of their years of practice at Qingdao High School will become the evaluation standard for them.

Especially for the third-year players, this competition is even more significant. During the period from the Kanto Tournament to the Summer Tournament, the structure of the main force of the First Army has been very small. Therefore, if they can't enter the first team in this orientation game, then their three-year high school baseball career can basically be declared over.

It's an opportunity for the third year, and it's the same for the newcomers to the first year. It may seem like they face more difficulties, but in fact, the opportunities are equal. In the face of an unfavorable situation, whether you can play your own strength and whether there is any potential worth cultivating will be fully revealed in this game. Take last year as an example, Yang Ping, Xiaogu Xiao, Sawamura and Kominato Harushi all stood out in the orientation competition. At that time, some people joined the First Army and some joined the Second Army, but whether they joined the First Army or the Second Army, they all grew greatly. To put it mildly, all four of them grew up at that time.

This year's Seido High School is known as a harvest year, and it is also known as the Super Platinum Generation. Among them, the generals and Yui Xun have joined the first army, which is a treatment that Yang Ping and Yugu Xiao did not have last year.

Today, the first army is on holiday, and after knowing the news, everyone made an appointment to watch the game of the welcome game. Although I am also full of expectations for the first grade elementary school, everyone is more cheering for their friends in the same year.

Entering Qingdao High School, what kind of training he received, and what kind of growth he underwent was not clearer than his friends in the same year. It is precisely because they know their dedication and hard work that the second and third grades of the First Army are more willing to support these partners who sweat with them.

The orientation tournament is usually held for a long time, so the competition starts at 2 p.m. After everyone finished eating, they washed up for a while, and the time was up.

Sawamura left a little late today, and the guy was very angry. Thinking of Yang Ping's performance on the pitcher's mound, he was both unwilling and annoyed, and he was happy for his friend. In short, the mood is very complicated.

On the other side, Okumura, who was in a bitter battle with the rice in front of him, did not finish eating, and the two sat opposite each other.

"Do you really want the back number of the ace?"

After a lot of effort, Okumura finally wiped out the rice in front of him, looked at Sawamura, and asked without words.

This question made Sawamura stunned, if it was an ordinary person, it would inevitably be a little embarrassing to answer, after all, his two current competitors are his good friends, but Sawamura is not an ordinary person. Faced with Okumura's question, he replied bluntly: "Of course! ”

For Sawamura, since he is a pitcher, it is a matter of course to have a desire for an ace back number. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a pitcher who doesn't want to be an ace is naturally not a good pitcher.

"It's so good, to express your desire to the fullest!"

Okumura's statement made Sawamura a little uncomfortable, what is desire, and it is the same as the next three indiscriminate.

It's just that Okumura ignored the expression on his face and continued: "I used to think that the noisy pitchers on the pitcher's mound didn't have any demeanor at all, and yesterday they performed very well!" If you really want to be an ace, it's better to get rid of the habit of screaming all the time on the pitcher's mound, it's very tasteless, like a fool, and it will become a needless provocation of the opponent......"

Sawamura's little face was a little embarrassed, Okumura said stupid just now, right? Even if he is a senior with a good temper, if he is said so to his face by his junior, he is very faceless, right?

But just before he said that he did a good job yesterday, does that mean he wants to praise me?

Sawamura felt that his IQ must have decreased, and he understood everything Okumura said, but until now he didn't hear whether Okumura wanted to praise himself, or did he want to count himself?

"Hitters hate pitchers who can't read their expressions, and your unique colorful ball, if you do it all, I think you'll be one of the greatest pitchers of our time!"

Having said that, Sawamura finally understood what Okumura meant, and the junior brother was mentioning himself.

Although it feels a little weird to be mentioned by a junior, Sawamura will not live up to the kindness of others. After all, Okumura said that he would become one of the greatest pitchers of this era in the future!

This sentence obviously went to Sawamura's heart.

"It would be nice to say no to that earlier, so you already recognized me. I'd better think it hadn't happened before. Or do you want to pick up my pitches? ”

Sawamura nodded with satisfaction. Although Okumura bumped into him, which made him feel a little hurt in his heart, but since the junior recognized him so much, he lived well regardless of the villain.

"I don't have that power right now, just wait! I'm going to be promoted to the first rank, and I'm going to pick up your ball with dignity at that time. ”

A teenager named Okumura stood up from the table and walked to the court.

There's a game he has to face, a game that will decide if he can play for Seido in the first year.

The second and third grades of Seido High School competed against the first-year freshmen.
