The day before the start of the semifinals in West Tokyo, Sensen Gakuen, in the cowshed dedicated to pitcher practice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ace pitcher Yosuke Maki showed an impressive pitch. The third-grade seniors who practiced with him next to him were dumbfounded.

"Today's real wood pitch was particularly powerful."

"Probably because the opponent is Qingdao, right?"

……

Substitute pitcher Hino said with some concern: "It's going to be an official game tomorrow, so let's practice here today." ”

While throwing the ball, Maki asked him, "Hino-senpai, why did you come to Xianquan School in the first place?" And didn't go to the city junior or Qingdao. ”

Yes?

Hino was a little confused by Maki's brain circuits, and scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed at himself: "Isn't this nonsense? Of course, it's because they didn't invite me, but if they were willing to accept me, I would definitely go to Qingdao! ”

"Me too!"

He, too, and what? Hino really doesn't understand his junior.

"Actually, I really wanted to go to Qingdao!"

Maki used to want to go to Qingdao? This is big news for Hino, he thinks that his own overseer promised the trump card position, so he finally brought Maki here. Otherwise, it is very rare for a player like Maki to appear in Xianquan School Park.

"But they didn't pay attention to me once!"

What the?

Hino looked at Maki in disbelief, with Maki's striking strength and pitching level, couldn't he even attract the attention of Aomichi?

Yosuke Maki: I don't want to lose to Seido even if I die!

The driving range of Seido High School.

Yang Ping was speechless for a long time with a message from Hayata.

"There are two more games, so we can go to Koshien. Congratulations! If you can get into Koshien, I'll go and cheer you on. ”

The message is simple, but the hidden meaning is interesting. Come to cheer for Yang Ping, I don't know what name Hayata is?

Classmates or something else?

"All assembled! Go to Court B and do the batting practice of angle pitching. ”

Not allowing Yang Ping to think too much, Kataoka began to gather everyone to do striking exercises. No matter how much you look down on Xianquan School Park in your heart, Kataoka and Qingdao will definitely go all out! In any case, this is the semi-finals, and there are still two wins away from Koshien!

There is no turning back in high school baseball, even if it is just a little careless emotion, the current Qingdao must not allow it.

In order to simulate the pitching of real wood, the players who helped train the second army specially pushed a few carts of soil and raised the entire pitcher's mound by a small 30 centimeters. In this way, in terms of height, it is very close to Yosuke Maki's pitching.

"I'll vote!"

Taking off his coat, Kataoka Tetsushin stood on the pitcher's hill and asked in high spirits, "Do any of you want to fight?" ”

Kataoka used to be the runner-up pitcher in Koshien, with a ball speed of 140 and a good skill in the curveball. Regardless of his status, he can indeed simulate actual pitching.

"I'm so motivated!"

Yoichi Kuramochi has a rare look that is very interested in the blow.

Ryosuke Kominato: Isn't that interesting?

Tetsuya Yuki was already standing in the strike zone with a bat, and asked with a murderous face, "Can I play seriously?" ”

"If you can hit it, just try."

Yang Ping licked his lips, and his eyes rarely showed excitement.

"I'm coming too!"

Jun Izaki dragged back Yang Ping, who wanted to cut in line: "You go to the queue for me!" ”

Ryosuke Kominato complained: "Don't you know what it means to come first and come first? ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Yang Ping reluctantly gave up the idea of lining up behind Tetsuya Yuuki, although this idea was actually quite tempting.

……

On the day of the semi-finals.

At half past five in the morning, Yang Ping got up and rushed to the court to do warm-up exercises. By the time he arrived, almost all the third-grade seniors had arrived!

It's the last year, and they really don't want to miss any time with baseball.

Yang Ping secretly decided: We must help these guys win the national championship! No matter who's in the way?

On the bulletin board outside the cafeteria, it was written in ultra-conspicuous font: "Two wins away from Koshien!" ”

When the Kominato brothers walked here, Ryosuke Kominato suddenly called his younger brother Kominato Haruichi.

"Today is the semi-final, the day after tomorrow is the final! The answer to everything was revealed in three days. It's a retreat ......"

Let's go to Koshien!

"This is the first and last chance for our brothers to go to Koshien together!"

Ryosuke Kominato said with a deep groan.

"I really want to go to Koshien, especially my brother!"

Kominato Haruichi said excitedly.

"Stupid! There are only eighteen seats in the cowshed in Koshien, and there is a good chance that you will be brushed down on the twentieth! ”

As an older brother, there's only so much Ryosuke Kominato can do. There are still two games, and if you don't get results, it's almost certain that Kominato Haruichi will be brushed down.

Of the four first-year players, if there is really anyone who can't make it into the eighteen-man squad, it is undoubtedly Kominato Haruichi.

The fists were clenched together, and Kominato Haruichi secretly cheered in his heart: I will not be pulled down!

I can't be the only one being pulled here.

In the morning, when I was eating in the cafeteria, something quite interesting happened.

At that time, Yang Ping was comforting Sawamura, who could not play.

"I feel like I'm in good shape, so why don't you let me play?"

Sawamura asked Yang Ping menacingly, as if Yang Ping had excluded him from the list.

"The finals and semi-finals were too close, and I think the coach was worried about our physical strength. After all, you and Tsukitani Xiao pitched a lot of balls during the pharmacist battle, and if you throw continuously, you are likely to be injured or tired......"

Although it is the best way to comfort Qi Zecun, Yang Ping's bitterness in his heart has nowhere to confide.

Last night, Kataoka approached him again: "Be ready to finish, if the battle is really unfavorable, you have to be mentally prepared to pitch at that time." ”

Kataoka has completely regarded Yang Ping as a panacea, and he will touch it wherever he needs it.

Yang Ping: Sawamura and Akira Shitani both have rotational rest, but he, the substitute, must be ready to play at any time? Is there still a heavenly reason?

Just as Yang Ping was comforting Zecun, a bright brain appeared in the cafeteria.

This is, Masuko senior!

Faced with the sudden shaved head of Masako, Yang Ping was a little confused.

Others don't know what to say.

There was an awkward silence at the scene!

At this moment, the two giants of Seido High School, Superintendent Kataoka and Vice Minister Rei Takashima, walked in one after the other.

"Increase, increase?"

Superintendent Kataoka looked at Masuko with a shaved head in amazement, with a confused expression.

The Qingdao friends, who couldn't help laughing, couldn't help it at this time, and immediately burst into laughter.

Masuko felt bitter: What are your reactions?
