In this game, although Aoba Nanjiao High School once lost 2 points in the 5th inning, they were not without a good comeback in the later innings.
It's just that sometimes competitive games are like that, and maybe you can have the most brilliant and successful defense in one game and boost the morale of your own side a lot.
But even if the morale was high, they still couldn't tilt the balance of the game in their favor because of this, so in the end, Aoba Southern High School still lost the first game of the regional selection competition, and it was also their last game in this regional selection competition.
Because of the competition system, the regional selection tournament adopted a winner-lose system, which means that after Southern Suburbs High School lost this game, their Spring League journey ended here.
On the other hand, after experiencing an official game, Kasugamo also began to have a deeper understanding of the atmosphere of baseball games and the use of techniques and tactics in various positions during some on-the-spot situations.
After all, the experience gained from playing an all-out game on the court with a real knife and a stranger is many times better than the experience of being bored all day long in school and having people accompany you to do a single and boring training, I don't know how many times better!
Therefore, although Kasugamo did not have the opportunity to play in the first game at all, he also gained a lot of valuable game experience.
With the on-site guidance brought to him by Hayakawa, the most powerful ace pitcher in the new army, many of the baseball theoretical knowledge that Tokukamo learned on weekdays have been confirmed on the playing field!
Especially in the rare double kill defense that appeared in the game, the calculation of the gains and losses is enough for Kasugayun to have a good memory in the next few days.
……………………
On the afternoon of the second day after the first game, on the court of the baseball club of Aoba Dodai High School.
All the players and students of the new team who have entered the three-army squad are working training, and several pairs of shooting partners of the first team in the bullpen training ground are also working hard.
In addition to the team's ace pitcher Hayakawa and his real partner Maki......
At this time, Hayakawa and Maki were standing at the door of the cowshed, chatting with several main forces of the original First Army who had retired.
"So, Watanabe's next game is going to be his old friend again!?"
It was Yuehua Blade who spoke, at this time he was much older than two months ago, and a lot of new beard scum had grown on his chin, making him look more like a mature man.
Yuehua Blade looked at Watanabe, who was practicing pitching in the cowshed, with a look of good play, and then said, "Is he okay with this!?" ”
"Yes! ~" Hayakawa replied: "The coach means to continue to let him play, in fact, whether it is public or private, he is sure to be the starting pitcher!" ”
"Oh~~" At this time, another former senior of the First Army, Kobayashi Qingzhi, who was standing by the door, also teased with some playfulness: "Aren't you afraid that this kid will collapse!?" Now you're the only pitcher on the team who can really get on the table, Hayakawa. ”
"Please, senior, don't be kidding, okay, I'm annoying enough! ~”
Hayakawa really has the heart to cry, God knows how the seniors have learned to ...... after taking the burden now No, I think I like to joke about Hayakawa and his junior boys more than I used to when I was on the baseball team.
It was as if seeing their helpless and anxious faces would make them feel happy, and it was a representation of basing the pain of others on their own.
Fortunately, there are still a few pragmatic people among the seniors, such as Koji Nakamura, the former ace pitcher.
Koji Nakamura suddenly asked, "How is that kid doing now!?" ”
Hearing the question, Hayakawa was stunned for a moment before he realized who the senior was asking, and hurriedly said: "Kasuga-kun is still in the stage of learning and progress, and his ball control has improved a lot compared to when he first entered the baseball club, but he is still a lot away from the passing line!" ”
"So, until this time, he still can't form a combat power!?" Nakamura didn't care about the nonsense, and pointed out the point directly.
"Uh~~ That's right! ~"Although Hayakawa is now the ace pitcher of the new army, he is still really tender for Senior Nakamura, the ace pitcher of the original team, so the tone when communicating with Nakamura on weekdays is still the same as before, and he is very polite and respectful to Nakamura.
"So, what do you mean by asking a few of us out today, do you want us to open a small stove for that kid alone!?" At this time, Nakamura asked Naaka Hayakawa what he thought.
Hearing this, Hayakawa hurriedly nodded again and again and said: "Yes, in fact, it's not just me who thinks so, coach Mr. Kawano has been thinking this for a long time, but I'm worried that your recent entrance exam time is not right, so I haven't bothered you!" Now you see that the entrance examination is over, so I will bring the seniors to see if the seniors can come to the baseball club to help Kasuga-kun in the recent period of time, and be his sparring partner so that he can find the feeling of pitching as soon as possible! “
”~~~“
Speaking of which, several senior seniors in Nakamura were silently calculating their own thoughts, and they had no spare time to spare in the next few days.
After all, as a senior in high school, graduation is imminent, whether to take the university entrance examination, and what is the future ambition and life plan of the future without taking the university entrance examination, this kind of top priority is a priority for them.
After a while, Yuehua Blade, who was still relatively refreshing, was the first to speak, and he said: "I'm fine, anyway, I don't expect to be admitted to college, and I have to help take care of the family's business, anyway, it's okay to use it to fulfill this kid in Spring!" ”
At this time, Kobayashi Qingzhi, who was standing next to him, knew his classmate very well and said: "Chengquan Spring, you might as well say that you have itchy hands and want to take this opportunity to play baseball again, then it is more appropriate, I'm right, Yuehua!" ”
"Che~~" Yuehua Blade glanced at his mouth and complained: "You know, bastard!" ~”
Nakamura also agreed at this time, he said, "Count me in!" ”
and Hideyuki Tane, the former head of the baseball department, who was also the main force of the original First Army, but had not opened his mouth all the time, and he also followed Nakamura and agreed: "Since that's the case, then let's go down and have fun!" ”
After hearing that several seniors agreed to help with the sparring of Kasuga Yunkai Xiaozao alone, Hayakawa was full of joy and excitement: "The seniors have agreed!?" …… Haha~~ That's really a good thing, I'm going to call this kid Kasuga-yun~"
Looking at Hayakawa walking towards Kasugayun with an excited face, the Kobayashi Kiyoshi and several seniors who stayed at the door all had funny expressions and thought: I hope this kid can afford to play next......
………………
Three days later, the battle for the regional trials was rekindled.
This time, Aoba Dodai High School will play in Tozuki Ward, and will face a strong challenge from the baseball club of Shirasugi High School, a famous school in the city.
In the 3 days before departure, if you want to choose who is the most unlucky person in the baseball club, then this person will definitely be Kasuga-yun!
Since agreeing to the invitation of Hayakawa, a junior in the baseball club, Nakamura, the minister of the former first army's ace pitcher, Tanaka, and the strong hitter Tsukika and Kobayashi, several senior high school seniors, began to conduct targeted training for Kasuga Cloud with several people at the same time.
Although three days is not a long time, the content and intensity of the daily training almost didn't kill the spring clouds.
It's hard enough for him to practice pitching and control the ball, plus there are hitters, catchers to guide the ball, and even the former ace pitcher Nakamura by his side for all kinds of small flaws that appear every time he throws the ball, all of which are pulled out and drilled hard n times!
Well, if you say you can't do it!?
The seniors' answer to Kasugayun was: I'm sorry, this coach can't make this product, so let's continue the drill......
But not to mention, with a few experienced seniors who have been sparring Kasuga Cloud alone for three days, his baseball skills have really grown.
Unfortunately, Kasuga's progress still can't keep up with the pace of the league.
Today, he and all the students of the First Army of the New Realm, under the guidance of the coach, went to the municipal baseball stadium in Tsuzuki Ward to face the second opponent of their regional selection tournament, Shirasugi High School in Tsuzuki Ward.
Before the game, when the players from both sides came on the court to bow and salute each other, the pitchers Watanabe and Inuya, who started the two teams, bumped into each other.
After bowing, Inuya looked at Watanabe coldly and said, "I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, God is really not thin on me!" ”
"~~" Watanabe looked at his former friend and didn't know what to say for a while.
Inuya stretched out his hand and shook hands with Watanabe, and suddenly clenched it vigorously and provocatively: "Today is to settle our old accounts in the past, there is a kind of don't escape, watch me blow you up~"
"~~" Watanabe still didn't reply.
This made the catchers Maki and Kasuga, who had to stand beside him, worry about Watanabe: What's wrong with this kid today!? Why don't you respond to this arrogant boy~~
