Chapter 7: Two Pitchers (1st Shift)

Before competing with the troll Otomaki, Aodo accepted a lot of invitations for interviews. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Kataoka did not agree to other people's interview requests, except for agreeing to Yang Ping, Shibuyani, and Miyuki to take a few interviews each.

"Refused?"

Ochiai asked Minister Ota regretfully.

Ota also nodded with a sad face, even if he won the championship of Koshien in the summer, it is very rare to be able to enter Koshien now and attract attention.

People are very concerned about whether Qingdao can dominate in summer and spring.

As the head of the baseball club, Ota is different from Kataoka. Kataoka, as a supervisor, just needs to build a strong team and produce results. In addition to assisting Kataoka, Ota also shoulders the heavy responsibility of making a name for Aomichi.

"It's such a waste, and it's not always necessary for us to get into Koshien. After all, Nishitokyo is different from other regions, and the competition is extremely fierce. When the contestants can show their faces, they should still show their faces more. Koshien was originally a stage for stars. ā€

Ota nodded again and again, and he thought the same thing.

"This isn't the last time they'll go to Koshien."

Kataoka's voice was not high, but the confidence contained in his tone made people have to look sideways.

Profound~

Ochiai glanced at his boss with interest, and it seemed that this overseer was full of confidence.

In terms of pitcher arrangement, Xiaogu Xiao, who has had ups and downs in recent times, is the starter. It's up to Sawamura to wrap it up.

Ochiai never thought that Kataoka would play in the three matches after the quarterfinals. If Qingdao High School is really forced to that point, it means that Qingdao has come to an end.

"It's better to just let Sawamura play, okay?"

Ota looked hesitant, he generally did not question Kataoka's transfer of troops. But this doesn't mean that he doesn't have any ideas of his own, just like Akira Kawakitani, who has a lot of ups and downs in his state now, he thinks that it will be more beneficial for Aodo to directly let Sawamura finish this game.

Kataoka glanced at Ota, and was so frightened that Ota shrank his neck and stopped speaking.

Even if there are ups and downs in Sawamura's state, isn't there still Yang Ping who is guaranteed? Of course, he didn't dare to say this to Kataoka anyway.

Kataoka turned his head and didn't take care of Ota's stubble.

In the summer, Yang Ping's presence on the pitcher's mound was too strong. Although the cast is not very good-looking, it leaves an impression of invincibility. When Qingdao played against others, the rotation pitchers were very casual, just because Yang Ping was laying the foundation.

This even affects the opponent's preparation.

When they are in a stalemate in the game, they will hesitate, will Yang Ping play, and what should we do if Yang Ping plays?

Although Yang Ping was not sent as a pitcher in many games, Yang Ping showed his value on another level. The opponent is holding such a heavy burden to play against Qingdao High School, is it strange that they can give full play to their strength 100%?

The more this is the case, the more Kataoka will not easily send Yang Ping on the field. Now Yang Ping doesn't pitch the ball on the pitcher's mound, even more than he throws the ball at the pitcher's mound, which causes a greater deterrent.

What the opponent thinks is the opponent's business, and Kataoka never classifies Yang Ping in the regular pitcher lineup, just to take advantage of this thoroughly.

At the same time, the hall where the players are staying.

The sign in the center reads, warmly celebrating Seongdo High School's advancement to the quarterfinals.

Of course, this is not done by Qingdao himself, but specially arranged by the people in the hotel. Their boss likes Qingdao very much and can be regarded as a die-hard fan of Qingdao. After Qingdao settled here, except for the standard expenses, the rest of the expenses were bought by the boss out of his own pocket.

Just like this brand, it's the same.

When Yang Ping saw the sign for the first time, he directly joked with the hotel owner: "You don't need to write like this, it will be troublesome to change it when the time comes." It's better to write a warm celebration of the king's Qingdao reaching the top again. ā€

The boss laughed when he heard it, but he didn't listen to Yang Ping's suggestion to change it.

The people of this country are particularly stereotypical in some things. He would rather change it again and again, rather than write a message in advance to congratulate Qingdao on winning the championship.

The contestants sat at the round table in pairs, chatting or looking forward to the future.

The 48-inch LCD TV in the center of the living room is on, and the program is also about Koshien.

"In the winter when there is snow all year round, the Hokkaido team is supposed to be unable to practice. But the troll players completely subvert that. They overcame difficulties and were reborn from the ashes. This time, I vow to fight with Qingdao again! ā€

"Head coach Yuzo Nitta, ace pitcher sophomore Masamune Hongo. Even if the opponent is King Qingdao, these two have never given up the game. ā€

"Hongo Masamune, Qingdao Tsuki Tani, these two monster pitchers, both have a ball speed of more than 150 kilometers, and the victory or defeat between them is exciting."

On TV, the pictures of Hongo Masamune and Akira Kazuya were taken out separately and made an exclusive report.

Of course, they still focus on trolls, and there are not many reports on Qingdao.

"Damn, it's like the trolls have won."

Sawamura was indignant.

"No, the TV station is doing it to increase ratings. Is there anticipation for a one-sided match against Qingdao, or is there anticipation for a matchup with Qingdao? Journalists are bitches, and they write whatever the audience likes to see. ā€

Yang Ping chuckled and explained.

Kuramochi cautiously interrupted the two: "But seriously, the more I look at it, the more I feel that the troll team is not ordinary. ā€

Yang Ping looked at Kuramochi like a monster: "What are you kidding, if Koshiyuan can enter the quarterfinals this time, there is no fuel-efficient lamp." The story of that team, adapted from it, is a tear-jerking history of blood and tears. ā€

"That's right, how to say it out of your mouth, it feels like the taste changes."

The black-bellied Yu Xing couldn't accept the honest Yang Ping a little.

Yang Ping pursed his lips and said no more. In fact, he has long been unpleasant to the media, and this is not only in this life, he also had this experience in the previous life. There are very few reports about throwing their heads and spilling blood for the country, and celebrity idols are swiping the screen every day! These stars look at each one on TV, and they are as packaged as delicate dolls, a perfect mess. But Yang Ping, who had protected them in private, knew that they were the same as ordinary people, or that they were all ordinary people.

Seeing that Yang Ping was speechless, Yu Xing took the initiative to ask: "In the game against the trolls, we have a few percent chance of winning." ā€

"Fifty percent!"

Yang Ping's answer puzzled Yu Xing. He had thought that their odds would be higher.

"In the knockout round, you either win and advance, or you lose and eliminate. Each team has a 1 in 2 chance of qualifying. What we can do is magnify our chances of winning. ā€
