Chapter 45: It's all a thousand-year-old fox! (1st Update)
Osaka Kiryu's overseer, named Takahiro Matsumoto, is a middle-aged man with a fat brain and a big belly. There are no too bright features of facial features, but they like to squint so that people can't see their eyeballs.
Before the game began, he met with the players of the Seido High School baseball team, and his face was full of smiles.
"Supervisor Kataoka, yesterday's game was a real feast for my eyes. This year's Qingdao High School is really outstanding. When we play, we must be merciful. Anyway, our two teams are old friends and old friends. ”
Kataoka had a serious face, and he didn't float up because Matsumoto praised him. On the contrary, the expression on his face was very cautious, and he looked at Matsumoto's gaze with a little jealousy.
The Kuniyu supervisor of Inagi Kogyo is said to be the best supervisor in the whole of Tokyo. Why the whole of Tokyo, not the whole country? The reason is actually very simple, that is, in the whole country, there are still a few overseers who can compete with the friends of the country.
Takahiro Matsumoto in front of him is one of them.
As the spokesman of the Cosmos Team Osaka Kiryu, he led Osaka Kiryu to Koshien all year round and competed for the winning position in Koshien.
Although most of the time, he didn't make it to the end. But almost every year, they are a champion back-up.
This status is equivalent to the Brazilian team in the World Cup.
Their goal is nothing else, it is to win the championship, and to win second place is not a success.
With such a team, how dare Kataoka be careless? Not to mention Takahiro Matsumoto himself, who is also one of the best overseers in the country, a well-known old fox.
If Kataoka really believed him, I'm afraid he wouldn't even know how he died.
"You're so kind! I'm looking forward to a meaningful game. ”
The attitude of Superintendent Kataoka is neither humble nor arrogant.
The two teams are friendship schools and have an extraordinary relationship. Although they are not in the same division, they play two or three practice matches every year.
The familiarity with each other can be imagined.
"It's getting decent, Kataoka!"
Takahiro Matsumoto had a smiling look, especially when he squinted his eyes, so that people couldn't see the look in his eyes, and the whole smile was particularly like a stone statue in a temple.
The players of the Seido High School baseball team turned sideways and let the players from Kiryu Osaka pass first.
Although they are the opponents who are about to fight, the two sides are on an equal footing, and neither is inferior to the other.
But who made Superintendent Kataoka nearly twenty years younger than Takahiro Matsumoto? The superintendent has let it go, how can they, the players, not let it?
I watched the players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team walk past my eyes.
The shock in Zhang Han's heart was indescribable.
The players in Kiryu Osaka are generally four or five centimeters taller than the players in the Seido way.
It's not much, but standing together, it's half a head shorter.
Height is not the most important thing yet, the most important thing is the contour of the body.
Even through his clothes, Zhang Han could vaguely feel the muscles of those players in Osaka.
These guys, so strong!
Without fighting, Zhang Han had a clear judgment.
In sports competitions, it does not mean that good physical fitness will necessarily take advantage.
There are a lot of athletic sports, and skill plays a big role, and that includes baseball.
But I also have to admit that in the case of the same skill, physical fitness often determines the upper limit of a player.
Those players in Kiryu Osaka have already shown a very strong baseball talent in middle school, and now they have developed such a strong physical fitness.
Their strength is really terrifying.
"I'm afraid this opponent is very tricky."
Even in the face of Daocheng and the third year of the city before, Zhang Han did not feel like this.
The feeling that the skills are inferior to people.
Zhang Han was shocked in his heart, but he didn't know Matsumoto, and he was also jealous.
Just now, when Kataoka took the lead in dodging, the players of the Seido High School baseball team flashed to both sides without any discussion or hesitation.
The whole time, there wasn't even much noise.
The eyes of the Qingdao players are also quite calm.
When I looked at them, my eyes flashed with amazement, but there was no fear.
Facing Kiryu Osaka, they were neither intimidated by the name of Team Cosmos, nor worried about the physical disparity of the players.
It's really a workout!
It's hard for Takahiro Matsumoto to imagine, but in just over a month, Kataoka managed to train the players of the Seido High School baseball team to this extent.
This is a real elite team.
What I thought before was really not wrong. This game against the Qingdao High School baseball team will never be won easily by them like the practice game before January.
After that, the players of the two teams returned to their lounges, changed their clothes and equipment, and walked onto the court.
When they walked out of the lounge with Captain Tanaka, Zhang Han heard in his ears, like a fryer.
In the stands, there were so many people that there were basically no empty seats.
It's not possible to count them all, but it's estimated that there should be tens of thousands.
It was the first time he had played in front of so many people.
The sun was scorching, and there was not a hint of wind.
The weather forecast says that the weather today is a little better than the previous two days, with highs not exceeding 32 degrees.
But Zhang Han didn't feel it at all, he still felt that his body was like a steamer. Especially when you are surrounded by so many spectators, the feeling of being hot seems to be a little more serious.
Supposedly, he must have been very upset in his heart when it was so hot.
But strangely, Zhang Han didn't.
Not only did he not, but the vast majority of the players on the Seido High School baseball team did not.
At this time, they don't feel the heat, and all their attention is attracted by their opponents.
I won't say how the players from Kiryu Osaka are. Just looking at their cheerleaders can make people stunned.
The stands that occupy an entire side of Koshien are all in favor of Kiryu Osaka.
In the past, when Qingdao High School competed, relying on the advantage of the giants, they could still bully their opponents in cheerleading.
Now, they have suffered retribution.
They were bullied by their opponents on the cheerleading side, and they bullied them badly.
The cheerleaders on the side of the Qingdao High School baseball team are also good, and even the students of their school are hardcore fans.
Thousands of people.
I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing goods. Compared to Kiryu Osaka, who is known as the Space Team, they are at most half the number of people in someone's family.
This is already very good, and only a few top giants in the country can do it.
The vast majority of teams, even when they play in Koshien, don't have as many die-hard supporters.
"Koshien 1/4 finals, the second game, Seido High School vs. Kiryu High School Osaka, the official start!!"
