The opponent of the first game was able to meet Fudo Peak Middle School. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor the friends of Akagi, it couldn't be better......

What is the strength of the Akagi Middle School baseball team? Previously, because there was no reference, Yang Ping did not have an accurate positioning. Now after playing against Fudomine, one of the top four in Nagano, Yang Ping has roughly estimated Akagi's level and positioning in Nagano Prefecture using Fudo Peak as a reference.

Akagi Junior High School has at least the top 16 in Nagano, and if you're lucky, it's not out of luck that you can make it to the top eight.

This may seem like a good result, but it has to be noted that Nagano is different from Tokyo. There are more than 300 large and small junior high schools in Tokyo! In Tokyo's top 16, one of them is a strong baseball player. Nagano has only 43 junior high schools in total, and there are several girls' schools within those 43 junior high schools. As long as you reach the second round in Nagano, you can almost be considered a team in the top 16 of Nagano!

With a positioning of his own strength, Yang Ping began to write Akagi's team goals and plans.

It's now May, just two months away from the Nagano Prefecture Qualifiers for the Summer National Championship. It is undoubtedly wishful thinking to train Akagi Junior High School into a team that can and Fudo Peak and Toho in the past two months.

However, a year later, when Sawamura and Yang Ping are promoted to the third grade, the era of Akagi will definitely come.

Yang Ping doesn't expect Akagi's players to be able to train and become strong players like Fudomine, but as long as they can connect the playing line and get one or two points, the defense will be more reliable. Relying on the cooperation of Sawamura and himself, it is not completely impossible to bring Akagi into the national competition.

With a goal, always call all the team members together to unify their thoughts. So after the regular practice, Yang Ping gathered everyone together and said openly: "It's been two days since the game with Fudong Peak ended, I think everyone must have some feelings in the past two days, you might as well say it and listen to it, let's communicate." ”

When it comes to the previous defeat, everyone is a little depressed, but Sawamura Eijun, who is in charge of pitching, is unwilling: "Next time I must completely block them." ”

"What if they still use short sticks?"

Faced with Yang Ping's question, Sawamura had a constipated expression on his face and was speechless.

Against short hits, even the best pitcher is powerless, after all, he still has to rely on the team's defense!

It was like a basin of cold water poured on the team members in Akagi, and everyone was a little disheartened. Most of them are pure baseball laymen, and they don't even have a concept of defense, let alone be compared to a strong school like Fudomine.

Even Fudomine Middle School, which is composed of elites, is helpless in the face of Sawamura's short stick! To be honest, although the short stick tactic is a little bit less faceless, I have to admit that just talking about the base rate, this tactic is almost unsolvable in middle school.

Note: In Japan, junior high school students generally do not implement the short stick tactic, and it is not that the coaches are unaware that such tactics are easier to win, but this limits the players' ability to practice their swings. There is another important reason - danger! Middle school students who are unstable in ball control and lose shots are almost commonplace. In this case, the odds of being hit by a baseball are also ridiculously high. If there were schools that implemented the short bat, they would not have had to play until the finals, and there would definitely be a few teams left.

Only a stunned young man like Yang Ping, who doesn't know anything about the default rules of the coaches, will say that others have been using short sticks. Fortunately, these friends in Akagi are pure laymen who are more laymen than him, and no one has come to expose him.

"Then let's use a short stick! Who's afraid of whom? ”

The flower shadow who refused to admit defeat was the first to stand up.

"I'm scared~"

Although the little fat man Gao Gongwang was a little apprehensive, he still took the initiative to express his concerns. Thinking about An Zexiu's terrifying pitching, Takamiya really can't imagine what will happen if he is hit by a baseball?

In addition to Gao Miya, several other players also nodded with palpitations. Even Xiangyang Hongyi, who has experience with little sticks, is no exception!

There was another silence~

Yang Ping looked at the unambitious friends and was speechless. Can you really sprint to the national competition by teaming up with them? Yang Ping began to doubt his previous goals and plans. These guys are completely timid and glass-hearted, fragile and vulnerable! In this case, we still have to coax them well.

"Not all of Nagano's pitchers are at the level of Azawa, and most of them are even slower than Sawamura's. (The ball speed was 120+ in the second grade of Sawamura Middle School.) ）”

"So it's not as dangerous as you think."

"Shall I just say? Pitchers like Ahn Zexiu are not everywhere. ”

……

Everyone began to comfort each other, but Yang Ping felt very uncomfortable. How was he going to tell them that there were two monsters in their time who could now shoot at least 140 km straight? Compared with them, An Zexiu is not even a scumbag in his pitching, except for Zhang's good pitching.

After comforting each other, Yang Ping concluded: "As long as Sawamura can give full play to his strength, everyone will work harder." This year, we will be a military training, and we must show An Zexiu some colors next summer. ”

This year, they reached the third round of the Nagano Prefecture Championship.

Reach the semi-finals in Nagano Prefecture next year!

After setting this goal, the friends went back to their respective homes and went to their respective mothers.

With a cold face, Yang Ping tore the quietly hidden plan in half and threw it into the school's trash can.

Yang Ping left, his back was gloomy and disheartened.

……

In the quiet night, under the street lamp of Akagi Middle School, several teenagers surrounded two pieces of paper, speechless for a long time.

One stick, Takeshi Yamada. A natural shortstop with an unrivaled speed advantage, he is bound to be a good runner once he hits base......

The second stick, Gao Gongwang, is not fast, and his physical strength is not good, but he has the strength to match his body shape......

Four sticks, Eijun Sawamura, with a soft body that can hit any change ball, is also powerful enough to hit a long hit. In terms of pitching, you can master straight balls and quirk balls first. Straight balls work hard to improve ball control, and then master a tiebreaker, which is bound to become a pitcher who shocks the nation.

Nine sticks, Yota Kurosaki. The hardest teammates on the team, if they keep up, are bound to become good baseball players......

Target.

In the next two practice matches, we will determine the final baseball time, and then challenge Toho in the summer tournament!

Next summer: Lead the Akagi High School baseball team and dominate the nation!!

It's only been two months since he got his team together, and that fool wants to dominate the country.

Sawamura, Hanakage, Kurosaki, Xiangyang, Atsuki, Crosscountry, Takamiya, Yamada!

Except for the acting coach Yang Ping, all the players of the Akagi baseball team are here.

The plan was picked up by Kurosaki, and he said that he wanted everyone to take a look at it.

"That's naïve."

"I didn't expect that guy Yang Ping, who smiles and grins on weekdays, is he quite enthusiastic in his heart?"

"Whether it succeeds or not, in the last year, let's go all out."

"Oh!"
