Chapter 32: The First Practice Match (5th Shift 11/13)

In the island country, there are also people who celebrate May Day. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Labor Day is a common holiday in more than 80 countries around the world, and there are definitely not a few countries that have a holiday for this purpose. But like Huaxia, there are not many people who let it go for seven days in one go.

Although there are people in the island country who celebrate the holiday, they will not take a holiday because of this Labor Day. It's just a matter of hanging a banner or putting up a slogan to celebrate.

But during this time, people from the island country did not work. Starting from April 29 to May 5, there is a dense belt of island country festivals, and various festivals are continuous, so these festivals are generally accumulated together and given a week's holiday.

Of course, the time is affected by Saturday and Sunday, and the situation varies from year to year. But the name of the holiday during this time is the same as ours.

Golden Week!

This year's Golden Week runs from May 1 to May 7.

The baseball club of Qingdao High School also had a rare human nature, and gave two days off in seven days.

On May 6th and 7th, the school was closed for these two days. In the previous five days, Qingdao had practice matches to play. The opponents of the first army were Yamaya, Osaka Kiryu, White Dragon Academy, Peach Blossom Academy, and the Red and White War on the last day.

The second army arranged two more practice matches than the first army, because they were almost always looking for opponents in Tokyo, so it was more convenient.

After the end of Golden Week, until the 20th, there were one or two practice matches almost every week. It can be said that the practice games are very intensively arranged.

The Kanto Conference will begin on the 23rd, and after that, there will be a selection in Tokyo......

As Seongdo's fame grew, so did the team's affairs.

Before the start of the summer competition, the actual off-season of Qingdao was really not long, less than two months.

Time flies, and today is the day of the competition.

Today is the first practice match of Golden Week, and the opponent is Shanya High School.

Yamaya High School is not a local team, but it is a regular visitor in Koshien. The strength is not bad!

Of course, this strength is not bad compared to the whole country, and compared with Qingdao, he is really not good.

"Thank you to Superintendent Kataoka for being able to choose to compete with us in his busy schedule, and I can't thank you enough."

When Yamaya's supervisor faced Kataoka, his posture was very low.

He also has no way to talk to Kataoka, and although Yamaya often participates in Koshien, they are only the teams that were eliminated in the first and second rounds. Although Qingdao has not entered Koshien for several years in a row, the wealthy Qingdao is still a wealthy family. At that time, Shanya had no advantage over Qingdao. Not to mention now.

Having won the championship of Koshien in both summer and spring, Seido is a well-deserved national champion!

Such a team cannot be cautious by Coach Shanya. Of course, this is also related to the qualifications of Coach Shanya, such as the supervisor of other teams, Didong, and the troll. Osaka Kiryu, Kataoka has to salute when he sees someone.

Although it is not as strong as Qingdao, people have qualifications. Among the slam dunk masters, when Shigeru Taoka, the coach of the Kanagawa semifinals, saw Anzai, didn't he still have to bow.

"Well said, well said!"

Kataoka also has a hard time, and it's not that he doesn't want to find some stronger opponents.

However, there are not many teams that can really be Seido opponents, and these teams are all rivals of Seido Tokyo Tournament or Koshien. Even if you play a practice match, it is estimated that no one will really do their best.

What's the point of such a practice competition?

In desperation, Kataoka can only pick some teams that don't slip away to play. Although the effect is a little worse, it is better than nothing, right?

Of course, the real practice object is not uninvited, such as the white dragon in the third practice match.

Bailong is also a very strong team in the past two years, and the two teams have not intersected before, after a practice game, although they have gained from each other, they will not really be able to fully understand the bottom of the story.

Today's starting pitcher at Seido High School is Akira Tsukitani.

The coach of Shanya High School smiled bitterly in his heart.

As soon as you come up, you have to face the fastest team in the country?

"Good ball, good ball, good ball, strikeout!!"

"Good ball, good ball, good ball, strikeout!!"

"Good ball, good ball, good ball, strikeout!!"

In the face of a high-speed ball of more than 155 kilometers, although Shanya's hitter is good, he can't touch the ball at all. One by one, they were struck three times in a row, and they didn't have any backhand power at all.

Following this shareholder wind, Qingdao's line can also not be left behind.

Kuramoto, Kominato, Miyuki, Yang Ping, and Hakushu hit consecutive hits and scored four points in one go!

After that, although Shanya relied on double kills to perfectly defend this game, their momentum has been completely suppressed by Qingdao.

In the end, in this game, Xiao made four dead, lost two hits, and did not lose points.

Nine rounds, complete the opponent.

Qingdao's line, and later he was not too embarrassed to score, so he only scored eleven points.

Anyway, it's not easy for people to come here, and it's not good if the fight is too bad.

This result is not unacceptable to the coaches and players of Shanya High School.

There are two teams in the country that are very special, one is Qingdao and the other is Troll.

They're often just pitchers who don't drop a point, and they have a one-to-twenty lead over the line.

The coaches of other teams, even if they are envious, who let the family have the two fastest pitchers in the country.

"The strength is too strong, and it's also a troublesome thing!"

The team was not happy because of the easy win.

Other teams can quickly improve their strength through practice matches, but Qingdao can't find a suitable opponent. In the long run, the original leading advantage is likely to be caught up by others.

"There's no way around it, and even if you're invited, it's hard for you to really go all out. After all, the Summer Tournament is less than three months away. ”

Kataoka also has no way.

On the other hand, Qingdao's friends are also not interested in such a painless game.

Ao, there is also a little friend, who is more emotional.

"Why do I have to be on the third day to play?"

Sawamura grumbled dissatisfiedly.

The pitcher on the first day was Akira Tani, and when he played against Kiryu Osaka, the pitcher was Kawakami Akami, the third day was him, and the fourth day was Yang Ping!

In the four external matches of Golden Week, Kataoka was a little rainy and dewy.

Everyone can play one by one, and anyone can go.

Of course, because the opponent is different, there are still differences. Shanya, Osaka Kiryu, and Peach Blossom College, although there are many differences in strength, but in general, the difference between these three schools is not big.

But Bailong is different, Bailong is a super strong school with the strength of the top eight in the country.

It is a strong school that is truly qualified to be a Qingdao opponent.

The main pitcher in this practice game can almost be said to be the first candidate for ace pitcher in Qingdao High School.

And this game, Kataoka was handed over to Sawamura.

Does this portend something?

Yang Ping didn't say anything on the surface, but he thought a lot in his heart.
