Chapter 1: The Wound of Genius
After a period of devil training, the two people who were promoted to the first army, Zhang Han and Yu Xing.
Finally, he barely adapted to the training rhythm of the First Army.
The main team has also been strengthened by the addition of several strong newcomers in the second and first grades.
Everything about the Seido High School baseball team seems to be going in a good direction.
Supervisor Kataoka, who had little confidence in the team, also thought that these players might really have hope of competing for that ticket.
Although the hope is still not very high, Superintendent Kataoka believes that they are already qualified to compete.
To be honest, there is no hope at all. According to Kataoka's personality, he will never slack off when training players.
Not to mention that now that there is hope, he is very positive.
Two months before the start of the summer competition, he was with the players as long as they trained every day.
In the midst of this prosperity, an accident happened.
The team's main catcher, Chris, is the mixed-race baseball player who led the first team substitute and the second team to defeat Zhang Han and Yu Xing.
He injured his shoulder because he had overtrained.
Listen to the doctor's diagnosis and take a break for at least a year. This is still in the case of good rehabilitation, if the rehabilitation effect is not ideal, then Chris will not have to think about playing baseball for the whole high school.
The original morale of the Seido High School baseball team suffered an unimaginable heavy blow all of a sudden.
The team's main pitcher, Xiuzawa, is in an unstable state. He was able to play well, at least half of the credit, to the catcher Chris.
Some people even say that Chris is the real ace of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Now the real trump card has fallen, and several other catchers, whether it is Kazuki in the third year or Miyauchi in the second grade.
There is no way to completely replace Chris's place.
A month before the summer tournament, the Seido High School baseball team was in an unimaginably large crisis.
It was at this time that the leader of the team, Supervisor Kataoka, stepped forward.
He handed over the position of the team's catcher to Miyuki Kazuya.
Let this newcomer, who has just joined the team for less than three months, become the No. 2 player on the Seongdo High School baseball team.
The incident caused an uproar in the team, which was in turmoil until the start of the summer tournament.
"Looks like it's going to be a no-brainer this year! It's just bad luck to get home. ”
"How could Chris get hurt?"
"That kid's sense of responsibility is so strong that he feels that with the strength of this team, it is basically impossible to get into Koshien. So ......"
Needless to say, everyone understands what it means.
Because Chris's sense of responsibility is so strong, he has already positioned himself as the leader of this team.
So on the one hand, he is pushing his teammates to work hard, and on the other hand, he is also doubling down on his own practice.
These second-year players are not as talented as their predecessors, nor are they as good as their juniors.
But their efforts were not lost to anyone.
Generally speaking, players who have reached the third year face the last big competition in high school.
They're going to do their best!
Without affecting their bodies, they can train as late as they can.
And the second-year players, under the leadership of Yuuki, Jun Izashaki, and Chris.
As early as the first grade, the training was no worse than that of the third graders.
In the second grade, I practiced with these seniors in Dongqingguo. They also never went back earlier than their third-year seniors.
One of those is Chris.
He was the last one to go back almost every day.
Everyone is admiring his spirit and perseverance, no one has met before, and overtraining can hurt people?
It wasn't until Chris was injured that everyone woke up.
Even Kataoka's supervisor and members of the coaching staff had not noticed anything unusual before.
Although they felt that Chris's training was a bit excessive, it should be within the acceptable range.
Chris comes from a baseball family, and his father was a former professional baseball player.
Then he should know that overtraining will shorten his professional life.
Kataoka's supervisor and all the members of the coaching staff were adamant that Chris knew what was at stake.
He wouldn't let his body hurt.
So I didn't say much.
Unexpectedly, this negligence directly caused the most serious consequences.
Doesn't Chris know?
Of course, Chris also knew, but the current situation of the team, he couldn't bear to look at the third-year players who were training with him.
Even if he works harder, he hopes to go to Koshien with his third-grade seniors.
……
Chris's injury, of course, was catastrophic for Qingdao High School baseball and for the entire team.
It's not just the overall strength of the team that's hurting, it's also the confidence and ambition of the players.
Of course.
This is not to say that it is a bad thing for everyone.
Everything is relative.
The Titanic hit an iceberg, which was of course a disaster for the passengers on board. The vast majority of passengers and crew have left this beautiful world forever.
But isn't it a miracle of life for the seafood creatures in the ship's pool?
Again, Chris's injury isn't bad for everyone.
Miyuki, a first-year rookie catcher, was given the opportunity to become the No. 2 player on the Seido High School baseball team.
Although he himself, for such an opportunity, 100,000 points is not satisfied.
He doesn't want to pick up such a ready-made bargain, he prefers to be able to compete with Chris in a fair way, even if he fails, it doesn't matter.
A large part of the reason why he chose to enter Qingdao was because of Chris. He wants to be on the same team as Chris and play fair.
It doesn't matter if he loses the competition, he hopes to learn from Chris in the lounge area.
Unexpectedly, Chris was injured and all his plans fell through.
At this time, I can only pray that Senior Chris recovers soon.
In addition, he can only shoulder the responsibility of the main catcher of the Seido High School baseball team.
Grow with the team and push the team to higher heights.
It's just that this newcomer has not yet been recognized by the first army players at this stage.
Can this first-year freshman, who has just joined the Qingdao High School baseball team, really be able to take Chris's place?
They are skeptical.
In the midst of the storm, the summer competition officially began.
As a seeded team, the Qingdao High School baseball team did not play in the first round of the tournament and had a bye.
It wasn't until the second round that they made their debut.
Their opponent is a team that is quite famous in the whole of Higashitokyo.
Musashi High School!
