Chapter 51: The Star of the Metropolis (Part 2)

After defeating Ujiusen, it did not increase the prestige of Qingdao, but weakened it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, Qingdao also has a difficult brother, that is, the pharmacist high school where the practice match was tied with Qingdao.

Both teams met with very stubborn resistance in the 16-8 match. Qingdao 7:4, a difficult victory over Ukumori High School, and Yakushi's opponent is Akegawa. The resistance they encountered was equally stubborn and terrifying.

Yang Sunsin pressed the pharmacist to the eighth inning, and although he was hit by six hits, he did not lose a single point.

In the end, in a head-to-head confrontation with Thunder City, he was hit a home run. Pharmacist High School is one point ahead!

It was also the only point in the whole game.

Yakushi High School defeated Mingchuan 1:0 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Also as a wealthy family in western Tokyo, the city's big three high schools and Inagi Industry are much smoother.

Both teams easily defeated their opponents, especially the runner-up of the summer tournament, Inagi Industries.

Several games ended early, and so far no points have been conceded, and the line has exploded.

Compared to Seongdo and Yakushi, who won hard, these two teams are undoubtedly more champions.

"I've been underestimated."

Yang Ping disdainfully put the newspaper in his hand aside.

It is simply nonsense to say that Qingdao does not have a champion appearance. Among all the teams in Tokyo, Qingdao's comprehensive strength does not dare to crush all universities, but there are only four or five that can really pose a threat to Qingdao.

Inajo, Yakushi, City University!

Except for these schools, Yang Ping couldn't imagine the picture of other teams defeating Qingdao. When the difference in strength is too big, relying on momentum alone and state cannot reverse the result of the game.

"But since the defeat in the summer, Cheng Gongming's performance has been a bit strange. Although he didn't concede points before, he was hit a lot of hits. ”

A lot of hits, but no points were conceded.

Yukiichi also has only one judgment on Cheng Gong Ming - that kid is preserving his strength.

"It may not be necessary to preserve strength, after retiring from the third grade, Daocheng was affected more than us. Don't forget that their four bats are the team's picks. Narumiya's ball is certainly difficult to hit, but it is also difficult to catch. ”

Although Tada Noki is one of Tokyo's few geniuses, it may not be so easy to catch Narumiya's ball.

"In any case, Inagi is a strong enemy. As long as we keep winning, we'll always run into it. ”

Yang Ping thought for a while: "The factors of the coach's on-site command are negligible, and our strength should be half a catty and eight taels with Daocheng." Winning or losing can be a matter of one or two points. ”

Daocheng is improving, and Qingdao is also improving. At the pitcher level, the pitching of Akira and Sawamura is not necessarily much inferior to Narumi Narumiya. Even in Koshien's experience, they are better than the famous Prince of Tokyo.

The Qingdao people had already begun to think about the semi-finals and finals, and they seemed to have forgotten that their next opponent, Wanggu High School, had not given up their determination to overturn the big ship of Qingdao.

Metropolitan Wanggu High School.

Today, Fujifu brought his partner Owada Akiko to interview, because they already have very clear information about Qingdao, and Qingdao is everywhere, and the pressure of competition in the interview is too great. Therefore, Fujifu took a different approach and specialized in interviewing Seido's opponent, the lesser-regarded Metropolitan Wanggu.

The two of them observed and soon found that the training in this high school was not comparable to other schools at all.

They didn't practice guarding and were all swinging at the net. You can't hit the ball into the outfield, you do hit the net.

"It's weird, it feels like every swing of their stick is incomparably precious."

After half a ring, Owada Akiko asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, after all, other clubs also use the court, so we can't take up too much time. For a limited time, we can only do this if we intensify our workouts. ”

Wang Gu's coach introduced the team's training.

"After that, there will be another thirty minutes of guarding practice, and our training for today is over."

What the?

I am accustomed to the mode of Qingdao that practices for at least three or four hours a day, and the players themselves have to practice more. In contrast, Wang Gu's training is simply playing at home.

If you don't train for more than an hour a day, what can you achieve?

As if to understand Owada Akiko's doubts, Wang Gu's coach explained with a smile: "After all, we are a high school, and if we neglect our classmates' studies, we will be banned from participating in the competition." ”

"Is that what you usually do?"

"Of course, that's true for normal practice."

Owada Akiko couldn't believe it: "I read some of the information of your school, and you relied on this amount of training to enter Koshien seven years ago. Is this inevitable? ”

"It's still very difficult to train like winning a game on that alone, and I think the players know that better."

"In the limited time, what to do, what to do, let the players think for themselves."

"If the length of the test was to decide the outcome of the competition, we would have to raise our hands and surrender. But baseball is not decided by this. Competitions are fun, aren't they? ”

The words of Akiro Araki, the superintendent of Otani, brought Owada Akiko a subversive feeling.

In Tokyo, where there are many powerful people, there is such a school!

At the same time, Wang Valley's ace pitcher is also doing practice.

"Whoosh!"

A baseball goes straight into the chest of the hitter.

Ruolin Hao laughed and said: "How about this ball, it should be able to confuse the hitter, right?" ”

His partner nodded: "If you can throw a good ball, it will have a certain result." But if you throw a bad shot, won't you be in the net? ”

"I'm not going to use it as a tiebreaker, as long as it's a sacrificial ball, or a forced scorer."

"That's a pretty effective shot, but do you have a strategy for dealing with the Qingdao beaters?"

Faced with his partner's question, Wakabayashi Hao smiled.

"In Qingdao's striking lineup, the most powerful are the third and fourth bats, if the two of them are separated, we may not be able to do anything, but as long as they are connected, it is not without flaws. It's inevitable that the opponent will lose five or six points, but if we want to win, I still hope to keep the points within three points. It may be difficult to control all the seats, but as long as we control the seats for two or three rounds, we are not without hope of winning. ”

"Confident."

During the conversation, Wakabayashi Hao had a flash of inspiration.

"Little corner, get ready to catch the ball."

The catcher smiled slightly, is this guy inspired again?

By the time he opened his gloves, the baseball had already come.

"Smack!"

Even though the cooperation time was not short, the catcher still did not catch Wakabayashi Hao's pitch.

"Hey, hey. How about this ball? Although it is a bit difficult to deal with the core line, it should be enough to deal with one or two sticks. ”
