Chapter Twenty-Eight: Naive Kataoka (First Update)

In the third round of the West Tokyo Tournament, King Seido played against Kungeai High School and ended in the sixth game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info King Qingdao 4:0, lead.

In the first half of the seventh inning, Aoi Kunieda attacked.

At this time, Kataoka, the head supervisor of Seido High School, suddenly selected and replaced the pitcher.

Until now, the monster pitcher Akira Shizutani, who completely suppressed Aoi Kunie, was replaced with a third-year substitute pitcher, Kawakami.

"Coach!"

Seeing Kataoka's substitution decision, Yang Ping blew up the nest at that time.

Yang Ping really didn't understand the significance of Kataoka's arrangement for Kawakami to play at this time. Xiaogu has just entered a perfect state, at least there is no problem in throwing it into the eighth game. During this time, even if Bang Zhikui had a few good seedlings, Yang Ping didn't think they could hit the ball of Xiao.

The perfect state of Akira was able to suppress the trolls, suppress Inajo, and suppress the first in Kanto. Although Bang Zhikui is good, it can be compared to them, and that's it.

Therefore, if Gu Xiao continues to throw, it will definitely make the opponent look good. And Seido even had a chance to end the fight in the seventh game. After all, it was their turn to play the ninth golden pill, and then the first four of the invincible Qingdao world.

As long as they get three more points, they can end the game early.

But at this time, Superintendent Kataoka let him be replaced.

Could it be that he has already used this game as a warm-up for pitchers? Don't talk nonsense, these guys from Bang Zhikui haven't given up the game yet, and if they accidentally capsize, the Qingdao Road will be all over.

There was no turning back in high school baseball, and a loss in one game marked the end of Qingdao's journey throughout the summer.

"It's not over yet, Coach!"

Not only Yang Ping, but also the replaced Xiaogu was also unwilling, and when he saw Yang Ping coming out, he immediately expressed his support.

Questioned by his own disciples in person, Kataoka should have been angry. But now, he doesn't feel angry. In terms of Kataoka's character, he does not reject the contestants from presenting their ideas in person.

"Do it!"

Appreciation is appreciated, but the authority of the overseer cannot be provoked.

Kataoka said coldly, and Yang Ping was speechless. After all, this kind of substitution, in Yang Ping's opinion, will not affect the result of the game too much. But to be honest, he really didn't understand Kataoka's approach.

As far as Yang Ping himself is concerned, the strength of Akira and Sawamura is obviously much higher than that of Kawakami. And with the current level of completion of the two of them, even if the two rotate to complete all the games this summer, there is nothing wrong with it.

Although I'm a little sorry for Kawakami, to be honest, the current Kawakami is just a substitute for Qingdao. The role is dispensable, even if he is not Yang Ping, he can complete his duties part-time.

In the first battle of the Nishi-Tokyo competition, the opponent was again the dark horse Kunie-Aoi High School. Yang Ping really couldn't think of a reason for Kataoka to send Kawa to play at this time.

"Ah Xian, believe in your pitching, just throw it."

Miyuki thinks about it more openly, since the superintendent has decided, there is no way to do it, and the most important thing now is to let Kawakami play his strength well.

"Good!"

Kawakami happily agreed, staring at the pitcher mound with an unusually determined gaze.

On the side, Coach Ochiai did not say a word about Kataoka's substitution decision.

The score wasn't so big that it was irreversible, especially after switching pitchers. And then it was the turn of Bangedai High School to play the middle line from the fourth base.

"Superintendent Kataoka is really an educator."

As the coach of the team, Ochiai is easy to understand Kataoka's approach. Although he doesn't approve of this approach, he can tolerate it.

As an instructor, teacher, and even friend, Kataoka is undoubtedly a great object! But as a superintendent, Kataoka still lacks a decisive killing.

The reason why he changed Kawakami was simple, but because Kawakami was in the third grade, and he wanted to make Kawakami a pitcher on a par with Akira Shigaya, and Sawamura.

When it comes to Qingdao pitchers, it's not just the double ace that reminds people of it, but the troika.

Being one of the rotation pitchers and being a backup pitcher have a very different status. If Qingdao continues to create brilliance, Kawakami, as a rotation pitcher, will inevitably be invited to professional baseball, and as a substitute, Kawakami may not have that kind of treatment.

Kataoka did this to pave the way for Kawakami. Even if he takes a little risk for it, he has to do it.

silently pushed his favorite disciple from behind.

From this point of view, Kataoka's substitution timing is really good, with a four-point advantage and a lot of room for maneuver. Even if Kawakami makes any mistakes, he can immediately send Sawamura to save the situation.

"What a good teacher, but isn't it too unfair to the other players?"

Ochiai thought to himself, but he also knew that Kataoka was forced to do this. If you don't do it before you fight with Inacheng and Yakushi. When he really ran into these teams, Kataoka didn't have a chance to do so.

In that kind of life-and-death competition, one mistake can be a failure.

Even if Kataoka wanted to do it on his own initiative, he couldn't do it.

In the first half of the seventh inning, Bang Aoi High School attacked.

Seeing Kawakami replacing Gu Xiao, the audience was not too noisy. Although Xiao's pitching is wonderful, Qingdao itself is a team with this style of rotating pitchers, so switching pitches is just commonplace for them.

It's just that if you change votes at this time, will you be reckless?

No matter how layman the audience is, they also know that the next beater on the field is the fourth batter of Bang Edai High School, Bai Guanger.

The pitcher has just come on the court and is facing the opponent's strongest fourth bat.

In this situation, it is very exciting. If the pitcher performs well, it will be a good house. But if the pitcher doesn't perform well, because he just came on the court and didn't get used to the rhythm.

That maybe, the opponent will bite the opportunity to counterattack.

If it was Sawamura who replaced Akira Shibuyani, the audience might not think so. Although it is not as gorgeous as Akira Tsukiya, Sawamura's pitcher is just as magical.

Although the level of Bang Zhikui's players is not bad, no one is optimistic that they can conquer Zecun.

However, Kawakami is different.

Although the strength is also good, it is obviously a grade worse than Xiaogu and Zecun.

With such a pitcher, can Bang Zhikui's hitter overcome it?

Just thinking about it makes people look forward to it.

In the position of the middle fielder, Yang Ping, who was impulsive, quickly understood Kataoka's intentions.

"He's a really good teacher who gives everyone a chance."

At the beginning, he did not give up Sawamura because of his outstanding Xiaoqiuwei, but gave Sawamura a similar opportunity. Today, it is exactly the same way to treat Kawakami.

Speaking of which, Kataoka remains the same as ever. If Kawakami performs as well as Sawamura last year in the next game, Kataoka will definitely not be stingy with Kawakami and Sawamura for the same treatment.

"But do you really think Kawakami can compare to Sawamura?"

Yang Ping smiled bitterly.

He suddenly felt that the wise and resolute overseer on weekdays still had a very stupid and naïve side.
