Chapter 70: The Unwilling Substitute (Part 3)
"How do you feel about winning the race?"
While eating, Tojo teased Sawamura with a smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although now Sawamura is already a well-known star player in the country. But friends who are familiar with him know that Sawamura is actually a second B in life. Everyone's pistachios.
His face was flushed, and Sawamura was also very excited: "I'm really glad that I came to Qingdao. ”
Yes, even though I was separated from my friends from the Akagi Middle School baseball team, I was also full of reluctance. Although in the time when he was suppressed by Gu Xiao, he was also confused. But when he insisted on pushing all the suffering away, Sawamura suddenly felt that he had really grown.
Now that I recall that I used to play baseball, it's really bullshit.
Sawamura is very glad that he can know Yang Ping, otherwise even if he has no enthusiasm, I am afraid he will not be able to go so far in baseball.
On the other side of the dinner table, the substitutes of the first army of Qingdao High School were speechless for a long time as they looked at them talking and laughing.
In the first year, he has become the absolute main force of the team, and one such player is very eye-catching.
But this year's Qingdao has six in one go.
Akira Tsukitani, Eijun Sawamura, Yang Ping, Harushi Kominato. In the summer, it was already an important force for the team, not to mention that. But in the fall, it was not the second grade that they were waiting for the opportunity to be promoted, but the elementary school students who had just been promoted to the first grade.
How embarrassing is this?
Hideaki Tojo, Shinji Kanemaru.
These two people haven't come up with convincing strength yet, so how can these seniors who have been surpassed by them be willing?
In any case, you have to catch up.
"Aso, do you want to practice swinging sticks together?"
Maezoen invited Aso to practice together, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Aso without hesitation.
"I want to go to the equipment lab and work on my strength."
"I'll go too! ~”
"I'll go too!"
In addition to Aso, others also stood up one after another.
Yang Ping, who habitually paid attention to everything around him, couldn't help frowning.
These seniors who stand up seem to be substitutes for the first army?
Whether you consciously draw a line with the main force or want to catch up, this is really a question.
Qingdao High School's main force and substitute are two completely different worlds.
It sounds puzzling, but it's true.
Seido High School, which won the championship in Koshien in the summer, is undoubtedly the most well-known school in the country. In addition, Qingdao High School was originally a wealthy family, so what kind of attention will the main force of such a team receive?
Take the last Qingdao High School as an example, Tetsuya Yuki and Yang Ping are undoubtedly the most shining, but Miyuki Kazuya, Akira Shibuyani, and Ryosuke Kominato have received a lot of attention. Even Jun Izagiki and Toru Masuko, who have no characteristics, have become well-known players in the country.
At that time, Koshien Kuramochi was almost a runner, but he still attracted attention, and even became a well-known baseball star in his hometown.
That's the workhorse! If you look at the substitutes again, how many of you know who the substitutes of Qingdao High School are?
That's the gap!
The main player, and the last rotation, is also a rotation player. Otherwise, they will never see the light of day.
It seems that the substitutes of the first army are also strong, and they get along with the first army day and night. But the gap between them, if you are not in it, you can't understand it.
If you take a step forward, you will open the sea and sky, and if you take a step back, you will be penniless.
It's about the situation of Qingdao High School, which is a substitute for the first army.
How can they be willing to stay in such an environment?
So, it can't sink here in any way. In the Qingdao High School, where the strong are like clouds, none of these eighteen people are willing to be plain, and if so, it is impossible for them to climb into the army.
Whether it's in training or in everyday interactions. The substitutes have made no secret of their ambitions.
If the garrison does not pose a threat, then use the strike to grab the position of the next substitute.
Although Seido High School's strike lineup is already strong, it is not without weaknesses.
Kurachi, Kanemaru, Sawamura!
None of these three people have been hit to the point of being unattainable, so they must not just be silent.
Especially Aso and Hitachi, who had just lost from the competition.
The figures of Tojo and Kanemaru, they can still see it. Even Hakushu is not invincible.
As long as they work hard, they are only one step away from the whole country, and they will not give up and take this step forward no matter what.
"The players have been very active lately!"
Ochiai sighed.
I don't know why, the substitute player, has been working hard lately.
Despite asking himself this, Ochiai's heart actually has a faint answer.
"It's fame and fortune."
They are no longer ignorant teenagers, and they probably know what they want in the future.
"It's a dream!"
Kataoka suddenly answered Ochiai's question.
Dream?
Ochiai is incredible, what the hell is this answer.
"Players don't come here to learn baseball, not to be a substitute. No matter how big the obstacles are in front of them, all they can do is try. Try to remove the obstacles ahead. ”
It is not without successful examples.
Didn't Sawamura Eijun already move away from the mountain that was pressing on his head?
He is now the No. 1 pitcher at Qingdao High School.
"Is it really okay to just leave it alone?"
Ochiai didn't argue with Kataoka either.
It's like that joke circulating on the Internet.
"What are your dreams for the future?"
"Money and beauty."
"Smack!"
It's a slap in the face.
At this time, if you say: "My future dream is career and love." ”
It is estimated that the slap will not hit the body.
Ochiai's fame and fortune can't be spoken, but Kataoka's dream can.
In fact, these two are the same thing.
"You have to give them a chance to prove themselves."
This is Kataoka's conclusion, and neither Ochiai nor Minister Ota disagrees with this.
"Let's have an intra-team practice match and choose the right substitute!"
Kataoka's idea was a big surprise to Ochiai.
Half of Seido High School's baseball players are poached from all over the country. Among these people, they can stand out and become an army, no matter which one they are, they will inevitably be strong.
The match between the first team and the substitutes may be more intense than the next semi-finals.
Knowing that the semi-finals and finals are played consecutively, it is not wise to hold an internal practice match at such a time.
Ochiai looked at Kataoka speechless.
This top boss is really more like a teacher than a baseball team overseer.
His thinking is completely in the realm of an educator, and although he has a strong ambition for results, he attaches more importance to the cultivation of players in comparison.
