Chapter 46: The Brightest Moment of Life
"Does the professor already have an idea?"
Inamoto asked, holding his chin expectantly.
Hearing his words, the eyes of the friends of Sakurasawa High School began to light up one by one, and they also looked at their own superintendent with great anticipation.
Don't look at the little old man, he has no experience in playing baseball, but he has the spirit of studying. Since becoming the team's supervisor, a lot of effective advice has been made.
Before the game began, they carefully studied the information of the Seongdo High School baseball team.
It was still a video of the game of the Seido High School baseball team during the Kanto Conference.
From the first game and all the way to the last game.
Qingdao did not show any weakness.
That's not to say that Qingdao has a flawless and impeccable team.
In fact, if you study it carefully, you can still find some weak points in the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Ten fingers are placed together, some long and some short.
What's more, the players who are the main team of the Seido High School baseball team, compared with the players in other positions on the team, there must be so-called weak links.
For example, in the infield guard, third base is weaker.
In the outfield, the two outfielders on the left and right are also not very tough compared to Jun Isashiki, who plays the stalwart.
But that's also compared to their own friends on the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Compared with other wealthy high schools and players in the same position, they may not be inferior.
Not to mention, compared to the players in the same position as their Sakurasawa High School.
Even the weakest player in the overall strength of the Seido High School baseball team is a notch stronger than the strongest player in the same position at Sakurasawa High School.
The gap is bigger than the thumb and the little finger.
In this case, even if they found a weak link in Qingdao High School baseball, they couldn't do anything about it.
It's brutal, but it's also realistic.
Faced with this situation, the guidelines given to them by Supervisor Kikukawa before the game were very simple and straightforward.
"I don't know anything about baseball after all, so you can do it yourself."
This sentence is very simple, but it also reveals their helplessness about the situation in front of them.
The friends of Sakurasawa High School have been totaling for a long time by themselves, and they have also not come up with a good plan. But now that we've gotten here, of course, there's no reason to back down.
Since joining high school, they have been working hard all the time. Even though the seniors have quietly gone home, they still insist on training.
They persevered for three whole years.
At first, there were only three of them, but later there were more and more companions. Until now, all the players in their entire team are holding such thoughts and thoughts.
Fought all the way and won two games.
In other teams, this is probably a very ordinary result. But for Sakurasawa High School, where all competitions are rounds, this is their best moment.
It was at this time that they ran into Seido High School, which was known as the strongest attack team in the country.
A team that can compete with the national supremacy on the Koshien field.
A terrifying giant who can eliminate the champion of the spring tryouts in the arena of the Kanto convention.
Looking at the whole country, the Qingdao High School baseball team is the top team.
The team at the top of the food chain.
And the core players of their team, Zhang Han and Yuuki, are also the top players in the country.
Such an occasion, such an opponent......
Despite winning this race, their achievements are not worth boasting about.
However, this is already the highlight of their lives.
If it weren't for Tokyo, if it wasn't for Koshien's system, how could they have such an opportunity to challenge the country's top giants?
"Three years of hard work, it's up to today."
Chang Xuming looked at the two little friends beside him, as well as more than a dozen teammates around him.
"Let's play!"
Even now, the whole stadium is cheering for the Seido High School baseball team.
The players from Sakurasawa High School still look quite imposing when they stand on the court.
"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone......"
Zhang Han saw the performance on the other side and muttered with emotion.
At this time, he didn't get a chance to play, and sat on the cold bench honestly.
Yu Xing, who was about to play, heard Zhang Han's muttering and asked suspiciously.
"What did you just say?"
Zhang Han had no way to translate these two sentences into Japanese, speaking in Chinese.
Yu Xing wanted to hear the meaning of these two sentences, but Zhang Han didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say perfunctorily in the end.
"Nothing. In other words, today's game, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”
Miyuki nodded along with him.
At this point, there are a few friends from the Qingdao High School baseball team, and they already have a premonition when they watched the game video before.
This includes Miyuki.
In fact, Sakurazawa high school baseball team is not strong as a whole.
This can be seen in their actions.
But this team that doesn't seem to be strong, but it was able to pass all the way and get here.
That means that no matter how weak they are, they must have a few brushes of their own.
And.
It's not a simple brush yet.
The overall standard of Tokyo is very high, and the teams that can make it to the third round will not be weak.
One of the most striking of these is their team's slow pitcher.
Ball speed can basically be archived at the level of garbage.
According to their observations and the intelligence they obtained, it is about 110 kilometers to 120 kilometers.
This speed of the ball, let alone a top giant like the Qingdao High School baseball team. Even a lot of players from a school in Tokyo should be able to handle it easily.
You know, for those of them, there are already pitchers who can throw balls at this speed when they play elementary school games.
Now it's a bunch of high school students, playing the ball speed of elementary school students.
Judging by normal logic, even if it wasn't a home run that destroyed Gura, it should have won easily.
But what is very strange is that such a ball, those opponents of Sakurasawa High School, can rarely hit it.
Even Chiba High School, which is not weak, didn't win a hit.
If something is abnormal, there must be a demon.
This thing is so abnormal, there must be something they don't know.
"Most likely a quirk ball, if not, it's ......"
Chris, who has the most experience in baseball and has a family heritage, was the first to give a guess.
This is also the idea of the vast majority of friends in the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Quirk ball pitchers, is very rare.
But with so many teams in the country, there are always some guys who didn't have formal training in junior high school and only began to emerge after entering high school.
For example, Eijun Sawamura of their team.
And this kind of wild pitcher will often develop one or two stunts that people can't think of.
Quirk Ball, is one of them.
This guy called Chang Xuming is very likely to be in this situation.
In response to this, the advice given by Inspector Kataoka is to fight steadily and steadily, and never underestimate the enemy.
"Don't treat the other party as a weakling, treat them as opponents of the same level as us."
The words of the supervision were very strict, and the friends all nodded their heads again and again.
It's an important first game, so it's time to go all out.
But then, Superintendent Kataoka ordered Zhang Han and Yuuki not to play in the match against Sakurasawa High School.
Let them honestly sit on the cold bench and rest.
"Didn't you say that you should never take the enemy lightly?"
The friends have a question mark about the arrangement of Kataoka's supervision.
However, in view of the majesty of their own overseers, none of them dared to make any comments.
"Killing chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife doesn't need the two of them to play. Rest assured, and we'll take care of the game. ”
As the vice captain of the team, Jun Izashaki is still very reliable at critical moments.
It's just that his little expression on his face and his angry words really made Zhang Han and Yuu Cheng unable to be happy.
It's been almost two months since the Kanto Convention ended, so they want to participate in the official competition, okay?
I don't know how long this person's mouth is, but he can always poke it into someone else's lung tube with a word.
"In the third game of the third round in Nishitokyo, the Seido High School baseball team played against the Sakurasawa High School baseball team, and it officially began!"
Amid the cheers of the cheerleaders of the Seido High School baseball team, the first game of the summer of the Seongdo High School baseball team officially began.
Although Superintendent Kataoka retained the two main members of the team, he still sent out all the other main players of the team.
Let Hakushu replace Zhang Han, and let the substitute third-year player replace Tetsuya Yuuki.
For the first game, it was still very cautious.
Sakurasawa High School didn't feel insulted either.
In fact, seeing that Zhang Han and Yuki did not enter the first list, their hearts were greatly relieved.
It's great not to have to go head-to-head with those two monsters!
Otherwise, they are really afraid that they will not be able to withstand the pressure and just give up the game.
In the first half of the first game, Sakurasawa High School attacked.
The first to attack was Sakurazawa, their first batter, a sophomore.
Standing tremblingly on the strike zone, it looks weak.
Yuyuki looked at the other party and knew at a glance that this kid was finished.
When the back number was announced before, Kataoka supervised a magical operation that confused the friends of the Seido High School baseball team.
But the amazing thing is that the overall impact of this incident on the team has developed in a good direction.
After Zhang Han became the trump card, although Kataoka said in front of everyone that he was just a target.
But except for Tanba, no one believed Kataoka's words.
Since Zhang Han was chosen as the trump card, he will definitely play when it comes to the critical situation of life and death.
If it weren't for such thoughts and intentions, with the personality of Kataoka Supervisor, Zhang Han would never have become the team's trump card.
And with such a trump card, the confidence of the players is obviously much stronger.
With the experience of the Kanto tournament final, they believe that as long as Zhang Han can play, their performance in the summer tournament will definitely make everyone jaw-dropping.
And the impact of this incident on Tanbo is also extraordinary.
Everyone was worried before, and Tanbo, who lost his trump position, is also likely to be affected.
But it was beyond everyone's expectations.
Tanba Koichiro, who lost his trump card position, seemed to have unloaded a certain burden, and the whole person was completely relaxed.
His pitching is much more solid than before!
Maybe it's because his nerves were too tense before, once he completely relaxed, he didn't have so many ties.
The pitching strength of the whole person, not to mention being reborn, has also improved to a great extent.
You know, Tamba is strong in his own right.
The reason why he lost the trump card position was not because of his poor pitching ability, but because of his psychological quality, which was not suitable to be the ace of the team.
Now, his strength has reached a new level.
The beater of Sakurasawa High School is this kind of appearance that is afraid of wolves and tigers in the past.
Yu Yuki guessed that this guy would probably be miserable.
Throw it all out!
He gave Tambo a code.
But Tamba, instead of nodding, shook his head.
Well?
A question arose in Miyuki's heart, and he looked up in surprise, wondering what Tamba meant.
Then he saw Tamba's scrappy eyes.
"Pitchers are such a bunch of self-centered guys!"
Miyuki complained in his heart.
Despite this, he also seemed quite interested in Tamba's advice.
Come on!
Miyuki immediately typed another code.
Seeing this code, Tambo nodded excitedly.
Then he used all his strength to decisively throw the baseball in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The baseball with the sound of breaking through the air, smashed into the strike zone.
Sakurazawa's eyes were already frightened when he saw this ball.
This is why he just went to the toilet, otherwise, he might have been able to do something very undignified on the court.
From the perspective of the hitter, the ball was flying towards him.
The beater shrank his neck in fright and hurriedly stepped back.
Maybe it's because I'm too nervous, or maybe it's because I retreated too quickly and accidentally tripped myself.
Before the baseball flew over, the hitter sat down on the strike zone.
"Smack!"
The baseball swiped straight past his eyes.
The beater was so frightened that cold sweat came down.
After he regained his composure, he was ready to complain to the referee as soon as possible.
The other party is not pitching at all, but killing.
If he hadn't dodged the ball just now, maybe he would have been sent to the hospital now?
But just as he opened his mouth, the words of complaint had not yet been spoken.
He saw the referee raise his hand in the air.
"Good shot!"
Strike?
The ball that was about to fall on him just now turned out to be a good ball?
How is this possible?
He was ready to refute immediately.
But seeing that there was no one around him who spoke, the beater suddenly realized that he might have missed something.
At this time, the referee saw his movements and stared at the player sitting on the ground suspiciously.
"Any questions?"
……
Stealing incense
