Chapter 45: The Last Practice Match (Part 1)
The days in training always go by quickly. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info didn't have time to catch it, and a week passed.
Saturday, fine.
The weather in June has already begun to show the heat of summer, and according to the weather forecast, this summer will be particularly hot. There are many specific scientific evidences, the most popular saying is that because of the greenhouse effect, whether it is summer or winter, the average temperature is higher than the previous one.
That's the case today, with a temperature of 29°C.
In such temperatures, even if the average person sits still, it is inevitable that they will sweat all over.
And in such weather, the friends of the second army of Qingdao High School are still working hard to train. The expressions on their faces were extremely solemn, and it looked as if the next game was about their life and death.
In fact, it is.
This is the second army of Qingdao High School, the last practice game.
The Nishitokyo Summer Tournament started in July, and since Seido High School was the first seed, they were directly selected for the top 32. The start of the tournament is scheduled for around July 10.
Until then, there are two more rounds of competition at high schools in Nishitokyo.
It's almost mid-June, and it's less than a month before the start of the Nishitokyo Summer Tournament.
As is customary, it is also time to retire the third-year players who did not make it to the first army.
Therefore, this practice match is also called a farewell game. After the farewell competition, Qingdao High School will officially establish the quota for the first team. This is followed by a week-long hell of training.
After that, it's regular training, resuming training......
For a team that aims to dominate the country every year, their preparation is extremely mature.
But this year is different!
This year's farewell competition has taken on a new meaning. In this game, eight people will be selected to join the first army and join the hell training together.
Originally, Yang Ping thought that this would be unfair to the third-grade players, but he didn't expect that the third-grade seniors would be extremely grateful to him.
Even if it was for a minute, they all wanted to be with the team more.
Originally, the term was not successful, but after two years of growth in Qingdao, everyone has matured a lot.
"This is interesting."
Yang Ping looked at his teammates in such a state and was very pleased.
"Shall we go and see it?"
Sawamura asked Yang Ping, and he was still looking forward to the performance of Okumura Junior.
"Do you have that American time?"
Yang Ping shrugged and smiled, looking at Xiaogu who was dragging a tire in the distance. Since that guy was taken away by Sawamura, he has let go of the whole thing. The training is very serious and hard.
"It's so treacherous, it's actually secretly trained. Also, aren't you holding my 'buddy'? ”
Sawamura immediately became angry and rushed up to grab the tires with Xiaoxiao.
"What's yours, do you have a name?"
Although Xiaoya has gotten along with Sawamura relatively well recently, he has not let this ace pitcher come to his senses.
Today's Qingdao is still a double trump card strictly speaking, although the number one is Sawamura's, but the strength of Tsukiya Xiao is not weak at all.
A direct competitor, why did he let the other party?
"Hmph~"
Sawamura snorted coldly, he knew that Tsukitani Xiao would ask this. Fortunately, his villain's family was prepared: "Of course there is writing, you look here." ”
Xiaogu looked at Norimura's fingers, and sure enough, he saw a line of small words on the inside of the tire.
"Ace Sawamura exclusive!"
How did this guy's brain hole open?
Yang Ping shook his head, he didn't have the time to deal with these two rivals.
However, he himself was very interested in this practice match.
The opponent of the second army in this match is a high school from Kagoshima, and the name is Kagoshima High School.
Because it is a team from another prefecture, and it is not a team that has participated in Koshien competitions, Seido's research on this team is very limited.
But it doesn't matter, the strength of the Qingdao Second Army is also good. Even if you are released to play in Tokyo, you can reach the round of 16, and if you are lucky, the quarterfinals will not be a problem.
Such a team should be enough to deal with Kagoshima High School.
At the beginning of the game, the atmosphere was very different. The four giants of Seido High School, Kataoka Superintendent, Ochiai Coach, Deputy Minister Takashima Rei, and Minister Ota have a lot.
Also watching were Miyuki and Yang Ping.
As the leaders and important staff members of the team, the two of them also have a certain say in the next candidates.
In addition to these people, even Kuramochi and Minato also came to see the excitement.
Of course, most of those who can have this leisure are not worried about the main position. In addition to them, there are two ace pitchers who are not worried about the main position, and they are competing with each other.
Others include Yui Fumiru and Yusei Shoji, who are also in the first grade.
The two of them applied to Kataoka, and if they had the chance, they hoped to play.
The farewell competition that was originally prepared for the third grade has changed its flavor because of the eight confluence places.
On the other side of Kagoshima High School, a tall and thin figure tilted his neck to look at the Qingdao team: "Disgusting, disgusting!" ”
"Ozawa, don't do this."
Kagoshima's coach said helplessly to his trump card.
"Hey, hey~"
"Disgusting wealthy, disgusting king, all over his body exudes the smell of decay. Stinks to death! ”
The contestant named Ozawa straightened his neck again and looked at his opponent.
"Since dominating the country, I haven't lost a single game, including the practice matches of the Second Army. This sucks. If you want to shake them, you really have to defeat their second army first. ”
Ozawa's eyes radiated the look of seeing prey.
"This guy!"
The coach in Kagoshima has a headache.
But there was no way, if it weren't for Ozawa, some things he didn't dare to think about before would not dare to think about it now.
Help these disciples realize their dreams and enter Koshien, the land of dreams.
Fame, status, money, beauty......
Because of his appearance, everything is no longer a fantasy. Therefore, even if Ozawa is a little deviant in his eyes, he can choose to tolerate it.
"Hee-hee, come on, let's hunt the king."
Ozawa smiled and stood on the pitcher's mound, and his little friends followed him one by one like well-trained soldiers.
Yang Ping and Yu Xing, who were watching the game, glanced at each other, and a trace of strangeness flashed in their eyes.
This team from Kagoshima High School feels so weird.
Moreover, their pitchers seem to be even more eccentric.
He is at least two meters tall, but he doesn't have a few taels of meat on his body, and he looks like a thin sorghum.
With long legs and long hands, he looks weak and can't help but be windy, not at all as strong as a baseball player.
Such a person would be an ace pitcher?
And it seems, he's not in the third grade, but in the second grade.
The ace of the second grade feels even more bizarre.
