"Stupid, you're too nervous..."

"Didn't eat? The response is so slow! ”

On the training ground of the Qingdao High School baseball team, there were scolding voices from several third-grade seniors from time to time.

The targets of their scolding were a few first-year players who had performed well in the summer tournament before.

During the summer competition, these little guys performed fiercely one after the other, and many third-year players were overshadowed.

Unexpectedly, after the summer tournament, the team successfully entered Koshien, and their form went out in big problems.

In the process of training, the movements are stiffer and stiffer, and some small mistakes are often made.

"Smack!"

It's like right now, the baseball bounced off Kominato's gloves.

A sturdy figure leaped to his feet and pinched the bouncing baseball into his glove.

When the figure stood up, Kominato Haruichi looked grateful, "Brother..."

The fact that his brother was able to relieve him obviously made Kominato Harushi very moved and excited.

It's just that he obviously wanted to go wrong, and the reason why Ryosuke Kominato gave this ball to the next was not to relieve his younger brother.

Rather, it is to take the opportunity to reprimand.

"With your laid-back attitude, can you also represent our team in Koshien games? It's not even close! ”

With that, Ryosuke Kominato continued to return to his place.

Xiao Suchun clenched his fists angrily, but he was helpless......

Not only him, but the other two first-year contestants, Jinguji and Akira Sumiya, didn't do very well.

In the process of training, they were also very nervous, and the mistakes they made were no less than those of Kominato Haruichi.

The only thing they can be happy with is that they don't have a poisonous brother in this team, so they won't say cool things every time they make a mistake.

Kuramochi, who was in the guerrilla position, shook his head with emotion after seeing the interaction between the two brothers.

"Senior Ryosuke's requirements for his younger brother are too strict!"

Speaking of conscience, the first-year Kominato Haruichi is both in the performance of the belt and the defense.

It's all remarkable.

If you compare him with the core player of the third-year baseball team of Qingdao High School, he must have immaturity and shortcomings.

But as long as you think that he is just a first-year player, it is really rare for Kominato Haruichi to be able to perform like he is now.

He is definitely one of the most eye-catching newcomers in this class.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a Tsugu Xiao in their team, there would be a thunder in the baseball team of Yakushi High School.

This guy is likely to compete for the best newcomer of this year!

It's a pity that he was born in the same era as Thunder City, and his light is destined to be overshadowed by that monster.

After all, that monster is a super monster that competes with Zhang Han at an age one year lower.

Putting him in the first year and comparing him to his peers is like putting a flood beast in a flock.

It's totally a rulebreaker.

"You better take care of yourself, be careful of your position, being robbed by others."

Tamba, on the pitcher's mound, said mercilessly.

While they were talking, the second ball flew over, and an agile figure ran to the landing point of the baseball, picked up the baseball, and passed it to first base.

"Smack!"

Yuuki, who received the ball, raised his gloves in response.

"It's beautiful!"

Although the acceleration in a short period of time, that is, the speed of the start, Zhang Han is not as fast as the position.

But his ability to predict is second to none in the entire Seongdo High School baseball team.

At the moment the hitter hits the ball, he can tell where the baseball landed and rush over it as soon as possible.

"Don't steal the limelight from me! As the ace of the team, are you honest and bad at pitching? ”

Kuramochi's face was unusually ugly.

At this time, he really didn't have the time and energy to worry about those elementary school brothers in the first grade.

I don't know what kind of wind the coaches of Kataoka's supervisors and coaching staff are pumping?

Zhang Han was sent to the position of a guerrilla to conduct garrison exercises.

In normal times, Kuramochi is not without a partner who practices. But you have to admit that Lord Cheetah's ability is also outstanding when he is on guard.

It was difficult for the substitutes in the team to steal the ball in front of him.

Only Zhang Han, because of the difference in the landing point of baseball, can be equal to him.

His speed is faster, and Zhang Han's prediction ability is also first-class, and the two of them can basically be regarded as half a catty or two in a comprehensive evaluation.

Now Zhang Han actually ran to his guard range to catch the ball, this is a provocation!

He can't agree to it!

As a cheetah of the Qingdao High School baseball team, Kuramochi's sense is very keen, and he feels a strong threat from Zhang Han's body.

The rest of the team wanted to take his place as the longitudin, but it was basically impossible.

Even if the opponent's striking strength is stronger than his, he is definitely not as outstanding as him in other aspects.

But Zhang Han is an exception.

Not only did the blow far surpass him, but it was not necessarily inferior to him in terms of garrison.

Once the team's supervisors and coaches have made up their minds, adjust the positions of the players. Then Zhang Han is the only one who can replace him.

He was naturally hostile to Zhang Han.

The team has already entered Koshien, and they are about to become Koshien players.

At this time, whether it is a first-year player or a second-year player, they will never let themselves make the slightest mistake.

If someone is kicked out at this time, the result will be too tragic......

After a few days of nervousness, the situation of the three first-year players gradually improved.

The fastest improvement in this is Jinguji, and the players who have experienced the big scene are still different after all.

Tojo and Kanemaru have lost the opportunity, if the two of them can survive until now, in the psychological quality assessment in these days.

They're going to come out on top.

They have won the national runner-up with the team and have a wealth of experience in the competition.

When I participated in Koshien for the first time, the experience of this kind of national competition was very helpful.

This is the case with Jinguji.

It's just that he performed well, and it can't be considered a good thing for the Seido High School baseball team.

After all, he was basically one of the candidates who was sure to be eliminated before.

Now he has become the first player to return to normal among several newcomers.

In this way, who chooses to kick out the players in the first grade?

It's a problem of the century.

Fortunately, there is no need for the players to worry about this kind of thing, and the Kataoka supervisor and coaches will handle it properly.

"It's not that all newcomers are nervous, isn't there a guy who is chirping?"

Among the first-year contestants, there was one freak who was very mindful.

In fact, not only first-year players, but also many second- and third-year players who had not participated in the Koshien competition before, were extremely nervous at this time.

So much so that he is not very sharp when he speaks, let alone when he is training......

More or less there was a little bit of a mistake.

It's just that a few first-grade students are too embarrassed, and everyone subconsciously ignores the nervousness of the second and third grades.

In addition, these second- and third-year seniors pondered that they couldn't let the first-year players underestimate them, and they also forced themselves to calm down.

Coupled with the extra training time of one or two years in high school, the second- and third-year players are much better than the first-year players overall.

But there are exceptions to everything.

For example, Sawamura Eijun, a first-year player, most of the players in the first army are afraid of being kicked out at this time.

What I really don't worry about is just five or six players.

For example, Zhang Han, Miyuki, Yuuki, Chris, Izashaki Jun, Kominato Ryosuke and so on.

In addition, some of the main players are not so stable in their hearts. Although they will not be kicked out, they will not be able to accept this period of adjustment because of their poor performance.

In the summer qualifiers, they were the backbone of the team. As a result, the team entered Koshien, but they were nervous, so they couldn't show their strength.

In the end, he was reduced to a substitute for the team.

Is it possible for them to accept this outcome?

There are no doors.

It is impossible for everyone to accept this result no matter what, and in the case that it is impossible to accept this result, of course they will be nervous and will practice harder.

There was only one first-year player, and since the end of the summer tournament, he has been preparing for the Koshien competition wholeheartedly.

It was as if he was already determined to be able to attend Koshien.

"This guy's psychological quality is too good!"

There are third-grade friends who look at Sawamura Rongchun with envy.

With such an optimistic attitude and such a positive attitude, it is no wonder that he has been able to create miracles repeatedly.

Even the third-grade seniors can only envy him for this mentality.

"He probably never thought about eliminating two more people."

Yu Xing, who knows him very well, gave the most reasonable explanation.

The other friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, with a little care, basically knew that there would be two people who would be eliminated.

But Sawamura Eijun obviously didn't know.

"No, even if he is a fool, he won't be like that?"

Some partners are not convinced.

It's no wonder they can't accept this, after all, Sawamura Eijun himself is also one of the favorites to be eliminated.

Will he not care at all about this kind of thing that is related to his vital interests?

Many of the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have no way to accept this no matter what.

But in fact, this guy really doesn't know.

Until the team reconvened for a meeting, this guy was still around Zhang Han.

"Aren't you going to Koshien soon? What else is there going to be at this time? ”

"Do you really not know or do you not know?"

Zhang Han glanced at him suspiciously.

Sawamura Eijun looked innocent, "What do you know?" ”

"The list and back number of going to Koshien must be reconfirmed and reissued."

"Aren't there twenty of us?"

"Koshien is different from the qualifiers in the Tokyo area, there are only 18 places."

"That is to say......"

"Two people will be announced today, and they will be eliminated from the twenty people in our first army."

Zhang Han really couldn't bear it, looking at Sawamura Rongchun and didn't know anything.

So he was very kind and told Sawamura about the next part of the team's arrangements.

Then he enjoyed a play, the change of face of Sichuan Opera.

Sawamura Eijun, who was originally optimistic and positive, made a 180-degree turn in the expression on his face.

His face was pale, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Who, who will be eliminated?"

Don't say it, the young man's micro-expression is quite in place.

"Guess what?"

"It can't be me, right?"

Sawamura Eijun himself is not very confident.

During this period of time, he has improved a lot!

But perhaps because the progress is big enough, Sawamura Eijun knows better how big is the strength gap between himself and his seniors?

To put it bluntly, there is a chasm between them, which is particularly wide and deep.

So much so that Sawamura felt hopeless.

His evaluation of his own strength can basically be regarded as the bottom of this team.

If the team really needs to kick people out of the team, he deserves it......

Zhang Han saw through Sawamura's thoughts at a glance, but this guy was a little too underestimating himself.

If nothing else, just because he played the last game against the city high school, it was difficult for the team's supervisors and coaches to kick him out.

Although the baseball thrown by this guy is not as conspicuous as the pitch of Akira Tsukiya.

But practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Judging from the effect, the baseball he threw was much more effective than the pitching of Gu Xiao.

Especially when playing against real masters, Sawamura's performance can catch opponents off guard.

Such a potential pitcher, such a pitcher who has the potential to scare opponents on the Koshien field.

How could Kataoka supervisors and coaches on the coaching staff be willing to give up?

The players stand in two rows, with the main player in front and the substitute player in the back.

"The general back number is similar to the previous one, but because of personnel limitations, we have to pick two people out of the team."

Superintendent Kataoka was straight to the point, as always.

He didn't pull the meat with a blunt knife, making the potentially eliminated contestants nervous to the end.

Instead, he told the two people of Tao Tai first.

"Before announcing the two players who have temporarily retired from the First Army, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Whether it was in the previous summer competition, or during this period of practice, you did not embarrass our school, nor did you embarrass yourself. Please believe that your efforts in this year have not been in vain. I and all the coaches on the coaching staff, we are really proud of you! ”

After speaking, Superintendent Kataoka bowed slightly.

More than half of the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have red eyes.

If other people complimented them, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team would definitely not be so moved.

After all, they have heard too many compliments, and it is hard to believe that what the other party says must be sincere.

But when Superintendent Kataoka said this, the emotion and empathy of the Seido High School baseball team players are difficult to describe in words.

They have only one thought in their hearts.

"The overseer still understands me..."

"The overseer still understands us!"

"Our efforts have not been in vain!"

"My efforts have been seen!"

After hearing the encouragement, the gang felt like they had been beaten.

This made Zhang Han, who was standing in the first row, suddenly feel creepy.

Words and words have power.

He had always believed in this statement, especially after getting to know Superintendent Kataoka. Compared to the Ono overseer he knew before.

Superintendent Kataoka is rarely so enthusiastic and passionate.

But you can feel his spirit.

You can't help but be swept away by his words.

With such a statement, even the eliminated players will only blame their bad luck and will not have too many negative thoughts.

"For the two players who have temporarily withdrawn from the first army, what I want to say to you is, is it not that you are not good enough? In the next battle, we need the strength of others even more. ”

Not only is the language inflammatory, but also has a strong personal charisma.

After listening to Supervisor Kataoka's words, the players, who were originally very nervous, unconsciously calmed down at this time.

Regardless of the final outcome, they have already done what they should have done, and they are just waiting to be left to fate.

Those nervous first-year contestants, to say that there is no unwillingness in their hearts, of course it is impossible.

But it's not the same anymore......

"It's horrible!"

Overseer Kataoka is to be an overseer, otherwise......

Zhang Han remembered some things he had heard in his hometown, and subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.

"Jinguji Temple, Akatsuki Valley!"

When Superintendent Kataoka named these two candidates, all the friends of the Seido High School baseball team were stunned.

If it had been before the start of the tournament, Superintendent Kataoka had directly proposed these two candidates, it is estimated that there would have been some discussion within the Seido High School baseball team.

How can it be?

These are basically the two first-year grades they think are the least likely to be eliminated.

Even now, there is still no way to hide the shock on the faces of many friends.

With the performance in the final, Sawamura Rongchun replaced Xiaogu Xiao, and the friends were still able to accept it.

Why let Kominato Harushi replace Jinguji?

In addition to playing on behalf of Kominato, Kominato Haru City has played a little more hits than Jinguji.

There is no way to compare with Jinguji Temple in other aspects, okay?

Considering the gap between the two people in the middle school era, as well as the experience of the competition......

Although the friends didn't speak, they basically put their doubts in their eyes.

Superintendent Kataoka saw it, and according to his character, he was not originally going to explain.

But when he saw Jingu Temple and Tsuiya Xiao, he still had one more mouth.

"Originally, it wasn't necessarily these two players who cultivated newcomers. But everyone's performance is not bad, and we can only choose the best ......"

In other words, the reason why these two people were eliminated is because their performance in the arena is not as good as Sawamura Eijun and Kominato Haruichi.

Jinguji Temple and Tsukiya Xiao's faces were ugly, but they had nothing to say.

"Zhang Han, come on!"
