Chapter 11: Seeding Team (Part 1)

The strong victory of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team has a great impact on the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

They were a little uneasy, but now they are very confident.

Whether it was the summer tournament or the autumn tournament, although they lost it, they didn't make it to the end. But the targets who won them all successfully dominated the country in the end, and they were not completely suppressed in the process of dueling with those two opponents, and they had no power to fight back.

They all gave the crowd a great game. And in those two games, the Qingdao High School baseball team had a chance to win the opponent, which also shows from the side that the Qingdao High School baseball team definitely has the best strength in the country, and they even have the opportunity to dominate the country.

The reason why they were not able to dominate the country was mainly because they had bad luck and ran into the more powerful Inagi Industry and Osaka Kiryu.

Judging from the results of Koshien this spring, Osaka Kiryu suffered a heavy loss of strength due to the departure of the previous contestants, and finally failed to make it to the end.

However, the current Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team is still full of morale.

In particular, in the second year where they are the core players, there are a full four of them. As long as there is such a mainstay, even if this year's session has passed, the next Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team will still be extraordinary.

In the past two years, it can basically be said that the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School has been the strongest period.

It's not that Qingdao High School is not strong enough, it's just that they are unlucky and have encountered the stronger Daocheng Industry.

With the end of the Spring League, Daocheng Industrial has become the undisputed hottest team in the country.

Many people predict that in the summer competition, Daocheng Industry will have an extraordinary performance.

Of course, there are also people who have different opinions. Don't look at the current Daocheng Industrial High School's team, which is very strong, but during the summer competition, there may be an unexpected upset. This national hegemon, who has just dominated the country in Chunjia, is likely to capsize in the gutter during the summer competition.

Those who make this point, of course, have their basis.

No way, who made Nishitokyo too pit.

Not to mention that also in the spring Koshien, there is a very good performance of the city of the city's three highs. Their match against Kiryu Osaka in Koshien was also very interesting.

There is also Seido High School, which almost knocked down the baseball team of Inagi Industrial High School in the Tokyo Autumn Tournament.

Seido High School lost to Kiryu Osaka in the summer Koshien and lost to Inagi Koyo in the fall.

But the sensation they caused was no less than that of these two national hegemons.

There is a very important reason for this, that is, because the Qingdao High School baseball team scored the most points on these two national hegemons.

In the summer Koshien, Aodo scored more than a dozen points from Kiryu Osaka. They were also the only team to score more than 5 points from the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team in the fall tournament.

Such an attack power deserves to be the first in the country.

If their garrison can also grow, then in the future, when Daocheng Industrial High School encounters Qingdao again, I am afraid it will become unknown who will kill the two sides.

And soon, this result will be revealed.

With the end of spring Koshien, the spring tournament in Tokyo has also begun.

When the group table came down, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were all gathered in front of the group table.

This grouping, the people who watched the blood boiled.

Friends who have been idle for a few months are ready to start the competition.

Although the players of the Seido High School baseball team lost in the fall tournament, they managed to reach the top 8.

So at the start of the Spring Tournament, they managed to secure a seeded slot.

It wasn't their turn until the 3rd round.

The teams that did not get the seeding team had to play from the first round.

There are more than 200 teams in Tokyo, and from the beginning to the end, they need to go through a full eight or nine knockout rounds. The seeded team only needs to play six or seven games.

This advantage alone is already huge!

The seeded teams can sit back and wait for their opponents to play a game or two, and then they will play.

Not only in terms of intelligence, but also in terms of physical strength, there is also a gap.

The teams that have been seeded will have more stamina because they play fewer games. Of course, for the Qingdao High School baseball team, the physical exertion of one or two games is not obvious to them.

But even for Qingdao, seeding is very important. Needless to say, at least they don't have to play against strong opponents too early.

The strong teams will be divided into different groups, and they will not meet until the round of 16.

More than 200 teams were divided into eight groups: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H.

More than 30 teams in each group participated in the elimination.

The Qingdao High School baseball team is the seeded team in Group C. They are up against several other strong teams in Tokyo, especially their old rivals Inaki Kogyo and Ichidai Mitsudaka.

In the group stage, it is impossible to meet at all.

By the time they meet, they'll be in the semi-finals and finals respectively.

And in their group, there are no teams that are too eye-catching for the time being.

There is no strong opponent, which makes the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team a little disappointed.

"Every team is fighting at the risk of everything, don't underestimate any opponent."

After watching the grouping, Superintendent Kataoka wanted to remind the friends not to be careless. But looking at those opponents, he really couldn't think of how to praise them?

Even if he is in Tokyo, there are many teams in it, he is not familiar with it.

There are not only public universities, but even agricultural colleges, and the only one that seems to have some strength may be Nanamori.

But to be honest, with the gap between the two teams, Kataoka really has no choice, and he said in good conscience that Nanamori can be the opponent of the Seido High School baseball team.

The real challenge is still after the quarterfinals, which is the battlefield where the Qingdao High School baseball team really needs to be challenged.

"For the time being, let's focus on recovering and adjusting the team."

In the end, Superintendent Kataoka could only think so.

However, Daocheng Industrial and the three high schools of the city university have already reached the top 8 of Koshien in the spring, and they will definitely participate in the Kanto competition.

For them, the most important goal of the spring tournament is probably to reach the round of 16.

Because they will only be seeded in the Summer Tournament if they reach the round of 16. That place is even more important than the current one.

Once seeded for the Summer Tournament, they probably don't have much incentive to keep going.

The Seido High School baseball team may not encounter any real challenges in the spring tournament.

A week after the start of school, the first opponent of the Seido High School baseball team was finally released. After two games of hard fighting, the opponent successfully stood in front of the Seongdo High School baseball team.

The name of the other school's is very good, Yutian Mushe.
