Chapter 2: The Baptism Ceremony of Qingdao (500 Recommended Additions to the Fifth Update)
"The competition between first-year freshmen and old-graders starts at two o'clock in the afternoon......"
"The three villages are quite energetic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Anyway, this is a matter of course, but if you don't show it at this time, when will you behave it?"
"The starter is Kawashima!"
"Today is a holiday, and we will cheer you on later."
The discussion of the old students about the orientation competition has come and gone in all corners of the school. Although the game was a bit sudden, the atmosphere was very warm, and some students even came to watch the game.
Coach Kataoka is still the referee for home plate.
Everything looks similar to the annual orientation, but it's different, it's still there.
With Seido winning the Koshien championship, it has become the most popular team in the country. The level of players who accept the invitation of Qingdao is also very high, most of them are the main players of each young league, as the main players of the young league, they know more than other students every year in terms of professional skills and experience and news.
They know very well the level of knowledge of the game and the purpose of the coach selection. That said, they weren't unexpectedly how tough the game would be. Unlike Yang Ping's session, they obviously lack a good understanding of their opponent's determination.
There are twenty places for the first army, and twenty people for the second army! You can play practice matches, and only the players from the first and second armies will be trained, in other words, whether it is the Kanto Tournament or the Summer Tournament, the players are selected from these forty people. If you want to become a first-army in the Kanto Tournament, or a first-tier player in the summer tournament, you must at least be selected to the second-tier army to have a chance.
"First of all, you have to join the Second Army."
Takuma said with a grin, and although he looked cynical, Okumura, who knew him well, knew that his friend's fighting spirit was very high.
Okumura himself is not the same. It's just that when he sees the opponent on the opposite side, he knows that things may not be so simple.
Even if Qingdao High School does not enter the team of the first army, there is no shortage of those players who are really powerful. This is related to the invitation system of Qingdao High School, and half of the players in the baseball club of Qingdao High School are invited by the school, and the special invited students who come here to study are undoubtedly very strong. In addition to their strength, their talent must also be recognized by Qingdao Dao.
There is no shortage of strength and talent! The rest is up to individual perception and training.
In the month when the new students entered the Qingdao Road, the most common thing I saw was the training of the athletes from Qingdao High School. This is not only those players who are being selected by the first army, but even the second army and those who have not entered the second army are also practicing swinging the stick in a dark and uninhabited corner.
"In the eyes of these people, we are the target, the target that exists for them to show their strength."
Okumura's conclusion, although sensational, is very close to the truth!
In any case, the second- and third-year players of Qingdao High School will not give up their main positions, and there will be no one.
The main force of the first army also rarely has a leisurely time to watch the game, and Yang Ping also came together.
On the other side, two people in the freshman team took the initiative to find Okumura. One is the Nine Ghosts Yohei, and the other is Xiao Xiangyang Hongyi.
"I'm looking forward to being a partner."
Nine Ghost Yohei said to Okumura with excitement on his face.
He is a pitcher and can be said to have a soft spot for Okumura. Well, that word does sound a bit like finding a partner. But in the baseball world, a good pitcher wants to find a good catcher, and a good catcher wants to find a good shooter, which is definitely no less than a young boy and girl looking for a better half at the beginning of love.
The reason why Yohei Kuki likes Okumura is because Okumura can make his ball make a good sound, and when he partners with Okumura, he feels that he is very energetic.
The other is Xiang Yang Hongyi.
"Leader, it seems that what we discussed before will not work."
Xiang Yang's eyes looked a little unyielding.
Before, they had discussed forming the strongest team of freshmen, but when they actually competed, they realized that they were completely thinking too much.
The personnel of the competition were completely decided by Kataoka on the spot, and had nothing to do with them.
Although in the first batch, there are Mogami, Kagami, and a few good new students in the nine ghosts. But there are only three, and the strength and combat effectiveness they can exert are limited after all.
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
Okumura felt the same kind of breath from Xiangyang's body, and he thought that Xiangyang should be very similar to his baseball style.
"No kidding, what can I think of this situation. I can only pray ......"
Prayer?
Okumura was puzzled, and Tuoma also looked at Xiangyang in a daze.
"I can only pray that next time, the rest of us can play together."
Xiang Yang showed a sly smile: "Although I am very sorry for Mogami, Kagami, and Yohei, if the rest of us form a team, our combat effectiveness will not be weakened much." ā
Tuoma, Okumura, Xiangyang, Imai, Asada such a team of five people, although it is not as dazzling as the complete version of the freshman team, but the strength is not weakened much.
There is overlap between the players. For example, Asada and the Nine Ghosts!
And the five of them, the positions do not coincide.
"According to the experience of Senior Yang Ping before, those who perform badly will be replaced, and maybe we people will be left in the end."
It seemed that the topic was too heavy, and Xiang Yang changed the topic with a smile.
Imai next to him was stunned, will Senior Yang Ping tell Xiangyang about this kind of thing?
It seems that Xiang Yang, who surrounds Yang Ping as a whole and is Yang Ping's younger brother, seems to be more than just a matter of getting shelter from Yang Ping.
He also got a lot of information and small news.
It's just that Qingdao is not a place where you can mix with intelligence and cleverness.
Imai is very skeptical that Xiang Yang can really get out of the way in Qingdao, after all, there are still a lot of talented players in their class.
The competition officially began, and the second and third grades attacked first.
The nine ghosts who walked up to the pitcher's mound felt very unusual.
"Ping!"
The undisputed hit, the first batter in the second and third grades of Qingdao High School, and the nine ghosts can't even be named. He is definitely not conspicuous among his seniors. The blow is not trivial.
The same is true for the second stick.
"Ping!"
is also a little-known senior, and the same is a clean hit.
No one is out, there are people on first and second base.
In this process, the nine ghosts didn't even react to what was going on.
Once it starts, it is like a raging wave, and the attack of Qingdao seems to never stop.
