Both men are from Baseball Kingdom, the most influential baseball magazine in high school. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The woman is Akiko Owada, a newcomer to the monthly magazine, and the man is the veteran reporter Fujio Mine.

"Watching the batting practice at Qingdao High School is simply enjoyable."

"Tetsuya Yuuki in particular, his blow is terrifying. I heard that in professional baseball, there are already teams that want to name him to come over. ”

"That first-year Yang Ping doesn't let him do much, okay? The Giants' supervisors have publicly stated that once he graduates, he will inevitably be invited as soon as possible. ”

"Even though we were teenagers, we adults could only marvel at it. Kataoka's ability to supervise the training of the players is really nothing to say. If he hadn't adhered to the ace pitcher strategy, Seido High School wouldn't have been able to enter Koshien for so many years. ”

"However, it can attract a genius like Tsukiya Xiao. I think Superintendent Kataoka will be pleased, too! ”

……

Listening to the round of his peers, Fujifu looked at the practice field of Seido High School and sighed in his heart.

In the cowshed, there are side throwers Kawakami, who practices pitching, and Eijun Sawamura, a star player who has just entered the school. There is Yang Ping, a strong stick who has just joined in the hitting field. Qingdao High School, which was not in stock before, has really had a bumper harvest this year!

Plus the Gu Xiao who threw the Hao speedball, wait, what about the Gu Xiao?

Even the reporters found out that Akira Shibuya was missing, not to mention the Kataoka supervisor in charge of training.

"Miyuki, go get that bastard back. If he doesn't want to start, we can make substitutions. ”

Lounge.

Yukiichi also looked at Akira Shibuya, who was dozing off, and was speechless in his heart.

Skipping practice at a critical moment before the game, even the daring Miyuki couldn't gloat.

"Hurry up! Are you done running? ”

Xiao, who was shaken awake, looked confused: "It's over!" However, my head hurts, so can I sleep a little longer? ”

"Not good!"

Yukiichi also flatly rejected Akira Tsukiya's proposal.

On the training ground, Miyuki Kazuya and Akira Shibuyani continued to practice after returning. Superintendent Kataoka looked at the sweaty Akira and was full of worries.

Akira Shibuyani, who had just transferred from Hokkaido to Tokyo, was obviously unable to adapt to the high temperature in Tokyo, and his whole state could not be improved.

This is nothing in normal times, but now that Koichiro Tanba is injured and Akira Shibuyani is absent again, the pitcher combat power of Qingdao High School will inevitably be reduced.

Do you want to let Yang Ping play in advance, as soon as this idea came to mind, it was suppressed by Kataoka!

Yang Ping is the secret weapon that he keeps to deal with Daocheng Industry. If you use it now, then when you go to Daocheng Industry, Qingdao High School can be said to have no more than half a hole card.

Let's use Kawakami and Sawamura for a while before talking......

After interviewing Qingdao High School, Owada Akiko and Fujifu went to their rival Mingchuan School Park to interview.

Meikawa Gakuen is a high school established with the idea of going on to higher education. Their baseball team was a legendary first-round tour team before Yang Sun-sin entered!

To be clear, not all players in the first round are average. In the first round of the national competition, half of the more than 4,000 colleges and universities will be eliminated. In more than 2,000 schools, no one knows how many unknown baseball masters are hidden.

The biggest difference between this and Seido High School is that there are not so many reporters and fans who come to watch the game.

"It's so quiet!"

Owada Akiko said inappropriately, was glared at by Fujifu, and hurriedly shut up.

The head coach of Meikawa, who accompanied them, Ogata, shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay." Before Yang came, we were the kind of team that took a first-round defeat for granted. It should be said that it is normal for journalist friends not to pay much attention. ”

On the court, Mingchuan's players are practicing against the pitching machine.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball slid like lightning in front of the hitter's eyes, and the hitter was so frightened that he retreated.

"What's that ball speed?" Owada Akiko covered her mouth in surprise.

Coach Ogata Kazunari smiled slightly: "160 km." ”

Fujio glanced at Coach Ogata, and asked, "Is this a special strike training to deal with Seido High School's Akira Tani?" ”

Ogata Kazunari shook his head again: "It should be said that this kind of ball speed, it is impossible for players to hit." It's just a practice to get them used to the ball speed! ”

Adapting to ball speed?

"That pitcher at Qingdao High School would shoot a lot of bad shots. But because the ball speed is so fast, there is no way for the hitter not to swing the bat. I did it just so they didn't shoot the bad ball. ”

"If you're lucky, the pitcher will collapse on his own."

Akiko Owada: So insidious!

Fujifu was no longer interested in the various strategies that would appear in high school baseball, but looked at Yang Sun-sin, who was feeding the ball to the players, and asked, "Does the ace pitcher feed his teammates himself?" ”

"It should be said that Shunchen is different. Not only is he feeding his teammates, but he's also doing ball control training himself. Throwing the ball into the path that the hitter is not good at, his ball control is honed in this constant practice. ”

Of course, in the practice duel with him, the strength of the fighter has also been strengthened.

"How many balls do you practice in a day?"

"Two hundred balls!"

Ogata Issei's calm tone in exchange for Fujio's shocked gaze!

With 200 balls a day, even if the game reaches 15 innings, this pitcher can handle it easily.

The opponent of Qingdao High School in this game is really not simple!

There is also the feeling cultivated in the constant throwing duel, and once this kind of united team plays with momentum, it will be terrifying.

On the court, Yang Sunsin, who was fighting against the beater, did not see the reporter come to interview.

In his mind, he kept recalling everything he had come to this island country!

My father endured exhaustion to support his study here, and his adoptive father in Japan (Ogata Kazunari) also cared for him.

For teenagers who have seen the charm of baseball on TV, it is a blessing to be able to come to this country to play baseball!

No matter what, he has to seize every moment of happiness.

"This ball is dedicated to my father, who worked hard to provide for my study abroad."

"Whoosh!"

"This ball is dedicated to my teammates who practice with me and try to defend behind me!"

"Whoosh!"

……

Every ball thrown by Yang Sunsin seems to carry his fighting spirit!

Back to Seido High School.

Because tomorrow is the competition, the practice of Qingdao High School ended very early on this day.

Sawamura Eijun looked unwilling: "Isn't there a game tomorrow?" How did it end so early? ”

Yang Ping smiled: "It's because I have to compete that I have to reserve physical strength." ”

"I still want to practice."

Yang Ping smiled bitterly: This guy is just unwilling to make the pitcher lineup tomorrow!

But the first game is a valley, Sawamura. The second game, Kawakami, Sawamura. No matter how you look at the third game, the coach will not put Sawamura in front of those two! (To be continued.) )
