Chapter 33: Expedition to Osaka (Part 1)
After the first practice match, Seido High School did not stop that day, and directly got on the team's exclusive bus and headed to Osaka. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Of course, it can't be a tour, and their next practice match will be against Kiryu High School in Osaka!
For Qingdao's friends, although they have never played against Osaka Kiryu in an official competition, they are definitely not strangers to Osaka Kiryu High School.
Before Qingdao dominated the country, there was a long window period, and there were almost six years without entering the arena of Koshien, and there have always been some cold words that Qingdao is a declining giant, a phoenix without wings or something.
The rise and fall of high school giants has a chain reaction. For example, Seido couldn't enter Koshien because of his poor record before. This has a huge impact on recruitment, and whoever is interested in performing in Koshien will definitely not be in a team that does not have any hope of getting into Koshien.
This is especially true in Tokyo, a place full of wealthy families.
If you can't recruit good seedlings, the strength of the team will naturally be affected. If you can't improve your strength, some good schools won't want to play practice games with you. Without the growth of practice competitions, the progress of the players will not be great......
It's a huge vicious circle, and in the 100-year history of Koshien, there are countless wealthy families who have sunk for this reason.
Why doesn't Qingdao have it?
The reasons are varied, the first is that Qingdao's reputation is too loud, and even in the years of sinking, there were many good seedlings like Chris and Yuyuki who came in. The second is Kataoka's cultivation of beaters. Although there are no decent pitchers in these years, there are many good hitters. After graduating, they are active in professional baseball, which deeply affects the judgment of other people.
When Yang Ping chose Qingdao High School, he also considered it from a career perspective. Although he didn't think that with his strength, he wouldn't be able to bring Qingdao into Koshien in three years, but with Yang Ping's level of reality, he certainly hadn't considered this possibility. After all, the cruelty of high school baseball is very terrifying, all the big events in high school baseball are knockout games, since it is a knockout game, that is to say, as long as a mistake, or even a small mistake, can bury the players' efforts for a year. Even if Qingdao is strong, if there are mistakes one after another, it is not impossible to enter Koshien, and it is not even small.
Yang Ping's original purpose in entering Seido was to use the training system of Seido High School, so that he could lay a good foundation in high school even if he could not participate in Koshien. After all, his goal is the big leagues, not Koshien.
is really aiming at Koshien, Yang Ping can fully accept Daocheng's invitation, and the probability of success is definitely better than his joining Qingdao. Even if he joins the pharmacist, the probability of a wild card joining Koshien is much greater than if he entered the Qingdao Road at that time.
The reason why Yang Ping did not do that is also very realistic. Not everyone who is active in Koshien can continue to shine in the professional arena. High school baseball in the island country has always been ridiculed, and a big reason is that they trained too hard in high school, so that the players' bodies were overdrawn.
This directly leads to the fact that there are many talented baseball seedlings who performed very dazzlingly in high school, but once they reach the professional arena, they are not effective at all.
But Qingdao will not, almost all Qingdao people have a solid foundation and can continue to develop in their careers. Although the amount of training is the largest, he takes into account all the training items and allocates the training time scientifically.
Even so, there are people who regret that they didn't practice properly, such as the previous senior Chris.
Yang Ping will choose Qingdao, largely because of this.
I have to say a word for the boss of the Qingdao Baseball Club, when the supervisor Kataoka is definitely not the best among the many supervisors, and even Yang Ping suspects that he will not be ranked in the top ten with his level. But if you want to talk about the coach of the team and the cultivator of the players, in Yang Ping's opinion, there is no one who can compare to Kataoka.
What a simple guide!
The topic is far away, and here it is Kiryu, Osaka. There are many reasons why Qingdao can rise. The first is, of course, in the professional arena, Qingdao's reputation is still prominent, even if he has not entered Koshien, no one dares to underestimate Qingdao, the country's top giant. With the name of a wealthy family, he naturally attracted a lot of hot-blooded balls.
Another reason is that many high schools are old ties of Qingdao. As a veteran giant, Qingdao has no shortage of good practice competition objects even in the declining time.
Just like Kiryu Osaka, during the most declining time of Qingdao before, Kiryu Osaka often played practice matches with Qingdao. Let the players of Seido experience what a high-level baseball is. This is very helpful for the players, especially the players who later enter the professional arena, they can adapt quickly in the professional arena, and it is inseparable from this high-level confrontation.
Take last year as an example, Seido's most important practice match before last summer was against Kiryu Osaka. At that time, although Osaka did not participate in the spring armor, he had won the runner-up in Koshien before.
It can be said that the limelight is in full swing!
This kind of practice is very important, and if you don't have the experience of competing against them, the rise of Qingdao last year may not have been so smooth.
In the past two years, Osaka Kiryu has been a bit weak, especially last year, when I didn't even enter Koshien.
Qingdao competed with them, and he also reciprocated. When my buddies were lonely before, you helped me. Now that you're a little bit bottom-up, I'll help you too!
That's why there was this practice game, and this game Aodo is still an expedition, which means that Aodo is going to Osaka to compete.
You must know that the distance from Tokyo to Osaka is not close, it is more than 500 kilometers. If the Shinkansen train is okay, it will arrive in two or three hours. But that ticket costs more than 10,000 yuan.
Qingdao also needs more than 20 tickets. An expedition costs 300,000 yuan, and a round trip is 600,000 yuan, which is not counting the cost of accommodation, and it is impossible to think about it. (Equivalent to almost 40,000 yuan.) ļ¼
Even if Qingdao High School is rich, it's not such a flower.
Fortunately, the baseball club has its own exclusive bus, as long as you spend money on fuel and accommodation. In this way, the consumption is much lower, and the school can easily reimburse it.
Of course, in terms of time, the bus cannot be compared with the Shinkansen, and the friends get on the bus at noon and do not arrive in Osaka until 6 o'clock in the evening.
But even so, after an expedition, the total amount spent is very scary. There are 40,000 or 50,000 yen, or more than 3,000 yuan.
There are often dark horses in Koshiyuan, and there are only a few wealthy families, why?
As far as Yang Ping's own feelings are concerned, sure enough, money is the most important thing. It's true that money can't buy a lot of things, but more often than not, you can't buy anything without money!
