Chapter 64: The Much-Anticipated Final (Part 1)

Koshien in summer, the night before the finals. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After eating, the Seido High School players get together to discuss tomorrow's game tactics.

"Among the players in the Holy Light Garden, there are two people who need to pay the most attention. One is a second-year ace pitcher, Mitsumoto Sugimoto. There is another one, which is his catcher, the fourth baton, the captain - Nakagawa Yu. ”

The person who introduced and analyzed the information to you is still Chris, who is now also the manager. The information he made was so detailed, in Sawamura's words, that he had investigated all the eighteen generations of his ancestors.

……

"Holy Optics Garden, there are two cores when attacking and guarding, and when guarding, the pitcher Sugimoto Sangen is the core. Sugimoto's technical characteristics are centered on possession, and after being beaten, he relies on the team's defensive ability to win the number of outs. The ball speed is 130 kilometers, and the change of the ball mainly depends on the slide. Judging from the data, he is not a very great pitcher, but his record is very good, and so far, the Holy Light Academy has not allowed his opponent to score many points. ”

"If the garrison is centered on Sugimoto Sanyuan, then the blow is centered on Nakagawa Yu, the fourth stick of the Holy Light Academy."

Listening to Chris's introduction to the line of the Holy Optics Garden, Yang Ping asked strangely: "How is the strength of Zhongchuan Yu?" ”

"In the three years of high school, I have hit a total of 65 home runs. The first candidate named by professional baseball! ”

Yes!

Hearing this evaluation, all the players in Qingdao couldn't help but gasp.

Although Seido High School was touted as the No. 1 player in the country, the fourth batter did not win the title of the No. 1 player in the country.

The first strong hit in the country did not give the fourth stick of the first line in the country, but gave the hitter of the Holy Light Academy, which is not highly evaluated, Nakagawa Yu.

It can be seen from this that how high is Nakagawa Yu's striking skills?

"Isn't it expected that the opponent is strong? It is the culmination of 4,000 high schools in the country. ”

Superintendent Kataoka's words calmed everyone down at once.

Yes, this is the apex of Koshien and represents the pinnacle of more than 4,000 colleges and universities in the country, and the strength of the opponent is expected. But as one of the two schools in the finals, is Seido High School just a casual meal?

We are the king of Qingdao, the king of Qingdao high school that aims at the top of the country from the beginning!

Whoop!!

The contestants shouted in unison, shaking the entire hotel. One of the service staff, who had a heart attack, was even so frightened that he was taken directly to the hospital.

"It doesn't matter who the opponent is, all we have to do is play to our strengths and play our own style."

"Yes!"

At this moment, the contestants of Qingdao High School were no longer confused.

On this night, many people couldn't sleep. This is their last night in Koshien, and tomorrow after the game, they will be heading straight back to Tokyo.

Yang Ping and Sawamura didn't have such a problem, and both of them had a good rest.

Yang Ping has seen too much wind and waves, and a small Koshien final really won't affect him.

Sawamura was heartless, and he really didn't realize what kind of place Koshien was and what special meaning it was.

On the day of the race, when the people of Seongdo High School got off the bus, they saw a dense crowd of people around them. The crowd lined up in two columns, holding signs in their hands, and shouting blessings such as supporting Qingdao and cheering Qingdao.

The principal of Qingdao High School organized a group of students to serve as cheerleaders, including those who had just returned from a summer vacation and those who had stayed at the school to practice.

But when they arrived, they found themselves helplessly unable to get close to their own team.

"It's so popular~"

The dean said sourly.

Qingdao High School can have such popularity and such results, of course, he is happy and honored. But there were only Kataoka and his disciples in this glory, and it was a pity that he didn't follow him.

"There will be a chance in the future!"

Next to the teaching director, a middle-aged man with a mustache suddenly stood up and said.

This person's name is Hiromitsu Ochiai, and he is a very experienced coach in Koshien.

Originally, with his resume and identity, it was impossible to be a deputy to someone else's head coach.

But when Qingdao High School offered a salary, he still hesitated, and the ordinary school superintendent doubled the salary.

There is no one in this world who has an enmity with money, and even if there is that person, it is not him Ochiai Hiromitsu. At the kind invitation of the director of teaching, Ochiai still came to Seido High School as a coach.

"It's the most troublesome thing to be a deputy or something."

It's a mantra he's been saying a lot lately. Kataoka led the players in Koshien with unlimited scenery, while he worked hard to guide the players of the second army and the miscellaneous army.

To be honest, guiding the members of the miscellaneous army and the second army does not fit the previous style of Ochiai Hiromitsu.

In his opinion, Kataoka's failure to make it to Koshien for six years in a row is largely due to the fact that he wasted too much energy on these useless players. If you can concentrate on selecting a group of players, you can train rigorously. With Kataoka's standards, it is not so difficult to enter Koshien. (The current Kataoka is also different from the Kataoka in the original book, and with what he has achieved so far, no matter how proud Ochiai is, he has to admit that Kataoka is a very good instructor.) It's like an exam, whether that person studies or doesn't study, are you used to him or not, people can get a full score every time, you can't say that people don't open their minds? )

Qingdao High School's competition against the Holy Light Academy attracted countless eyes. The Koshien site was packed, and tens of millions of viewers watched the broadcast in front of the television.

Shengguang Garden is a national strong school that has just emerged in the past two years, although its strength has not been weak, but it is not strong enough to cross the Koshien Garden.

In the past two years, since the coach was replaced by Yasuhiro Suzuki. The results of the Holy Light Academy have improved very quickly. Now he is an ace candidate for the championship. (Koshien champion last summer, Koshien runner-up this spring.) )

Although Qingdao High School has not entered Koshien for six consecutive years, the legend of this school is still alive and well all over the country.

This year, under the leadership of the iron-blooded superintendent Kataoka Tetsushin, Seido High School made it to the finals.

One is a recovery giant known as the country's No. 1 line.

One is the defending champion who dominated the country for two consecutive years.

What kind of battle will these two schools show in Koshien on the field?

If nothing else, this match alone is enough to attract the attention of countless media and spectators. (To be continued.) )
