It's been three days since the end of the competition.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have not yet come out of the haze of failure. It's not that they're not strong enough, it's that they're too confused.

Baseball in high school is like that, no matter what the tournament is, if you lose, then there is nothing......

Then you can only hide in the corner by yourself, slowly devouring the bitter fruit of failure.

In the previous summer, the Seido High School baseball team won the Nishitokyo Regional Tournament and represented Nishitokyo in Koshien. The teams they defeated basically came over like this.

They all hid in the corner, one by one, trying their best to make the country work.

Now that feng shui is turning, it is also the turn of the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team to taste the bitter fruits of failure.

When Zhang Han was practicing, he could clearly feel how absent-minded the friends around him were.

He himself is the same, he always feels that he can't do anything, he can't get up.

In the previous game, the image of him being struck by Narumiya Ming kept playing back in his mind. Zhang Han knows very well that he still has a lot of immaturity and shortcomings. He should work harder, he should improve his swing.

He practiced every day, and he practiced late, but for some reason, when he picked up the bat, he couldn't find the feeling of practicing before.

How did it end?

In the summer, they played all the way to the quarterfinals of Koshien. At that time, there was no such strong feeling, and now this feeling is simply too obvious, especially powerless.

……

Although the third-year seniors have retired from the team, they basically work with the first-army players when they practice.

In particular, Dong Qingguo, who signed up for the draft, seems to be working harder than everyone else.

Especially after being taught by Sawamura before, he also worked hard to lose weight, and the fat on his body was reduced by two or three percent.

The figure actually looks a little slimmer. Of course, this slenderness is relatively speaking, and for now, Dongqingguo is still like being five or six months pregnant.

"You boys, why are you so unproductive? Isn't it just a loss, and it collapses? Don't you still have a chance, give me a chance to cheer me up! If you want to do this again, pack up your parcels and go back to your own house and cry. ”

Dong Qingguo muttered impatiently to the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

The friends are also angry, but their anger will not be directed at their seniors. They all knew in their hearts that Dongqingguo was really for their good.

They have no way to get angry with seniors who are really good for themselves.

"It's really a bunch of wretched, like dough, and you won't get angry if you are trained."

Dongqingguo didn't appreciate it at all.

He looked at these juniors who couldn't get motivated, and he was helpless.

He really couldn't understand what was going on in the minds of these junior disciples?

They did not experience defeat in the Eastern Qing Kingdom before, and they did not enter Jiaziyuan until the last year. The previous competitions all ended in failure, and what remained in Dongqingguo's mind at that time was unwilling, and they all had to find a chance to take revenge, and they all had to enter Koshien.

His mind is full of that kind of simple thoughts, Dong Qingguo, he has never experienced it, like the feeling in the hearts of these friends now?

What exactly do these guys think?

Don't they want revenge, don't want to go further?

"They're not like us. They have already experienced Koshien and are very confident in their own strength. It's not like we lost the game and it felt like a matter of course. For them, the defeat is several times greater than the blow we suffered in the first place. ”

Captain Tanaka is worthy of being the former captain of the Seido High School baseball team, and he has a thorough understanding of the players' minds.

They had nothing before, and it didn't matter if they lost. But the current Qingdao has the aura of the strongest hitting line in the country, and they naturally feel different when they lose.

It's like the World Cup, the mainland and Brazil are sad when they lose, can the sadness be the same?

"Then what do you say!"

In the face of these battered junior brothers, Dongqingguo was directly numb.

"There are some things that they have to figure out for themselves, and I'm sure they'll figure it out soon. Want to understand what kind of position their own strength is now? Want to understand how harsh the environment they are facing? Want to figure out what they want to do? ”

"I don't have the patience you have, waiting for these guys to figure it out one by one."

Dongqing was very unhappy.

"It's not impossible to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, I have a suggestion."

When Tanaka put forward that suggestion, it was unanimously approved by the third-year seniors.

So in the afternoon of the same day, they went to a Kataoka overseer and gave their suggestion.

Superintendent Kataoka seems to be quite interested in this suggestion. On the morning of the second day, when all the players gathered for training, Superintendent Kataoka looked at the listless players in front of him and announced the decision.

"On Saturday morning, there was an intra-team practice match. Farewell to the Year 3 contestants! ”

Farewell Race...

Although there is a farewell tournament at this time of year, this race is usually held in November.

It's only October, so you don't need to advance so much, right?

"Is that the same as before, do we have some substitutes?"

Yuuki, the current captain, asked.

This has to mention the unspoken rules of the farewell game. The farewell competition is to see off the seniors, and sometimes the seniors' strength may not be strong, so the current team will inevitably have to show mercy to their subordinates.

"Don't get carried away, we don't need your men to show mercy!"

Dong Qingguo went back directly.

What are you kidding, in the current state of the main team of the Qingdao High School baseball team, do they still need the first army to show mercy?

Even in normal times, the third-year seniors are confident that they will be able to win the final victory.

Not to mention that the morale of the first team of the Qingdao High School baseball team is basically hovering at the lowest point. They are even more sure of winning the game.

"Let's take a look..."

Higashi Kiyokoku, Hidesawa, Tanaka, Yamada......

In the third-year seniors of the Qingdao High School baseball team, there are many top players, all of them are strong, if they really play a game in a dignified manner, the main force of the current Qingdao High School baseball team, I really dare not pat my chest and say that I will definitely be able to win the game.

"You're so bad! Forget about the rest of the location. Catcher ......"

Zhang Han looked at the third-grade seniors apologetically.

To be honest, this is also the weakest point of the third-year players.

As long as there is this point, then it may be difficult for these third-year seniors to win against them in the official competition.

"Of course we have our own catchers!"

Just as everyone was talking, a figure that had not been seen for a long time walked out of the crowd.
