Chapter 37: Senior's Enlightenment! (2nd Update)
There were only 14 people representing the second and third grades.
They are the nine players who have passed layers of selection and finally represent the second army and have the opportunity to impact the first army.
plus the five players of the original first army. That is, Zhang Han, Chris, Kawakami, Miyauchi and Masuko Toh.
Originally, at the beginning of the game, Zhang Han and Chris did not play.
The remaining nine sophomores took it for granted that the two of them would not play until the second half of the game. They will replace Kawakami and Miyauchi.
This is a struggle for the position of the first army, and it has little to do with them. In other words, these people on the field basically have to play the whole game.
Even if two of them have to be swapped in the middle of the game, they can play at least four or five games.
Therefore, the players are not in a hurry on the field, and they are playing steadily and steadily.
As a result, Zhang Han's words made Superintendent Kataoka directly change his mind. The players suddenly realized that they might not have that many opportunities to perform.
In this case, they have to cut through the mess quickly and come up with results quickly.
Otherwise, if they were unlucky and were replaced by Zhang Han, wouldn't they even have a chance to perform?
The players who were stimulated by Zhang Han and Kataoka teamed up suddenly took a 108-degree turn in their attitude towards the game.
They don't care about playing steadily, they are going to win the results now, and they can't delay for a quarter of an hour.
When the players have this awareness, their performance is very good.
Kanemaru, who was not weak in the fight, was directly frightened by these crazy seniors. So much so that his swing of the stick was not able to exert his usual power.
The bat simply touched the baseball, and then it was stopped by the second baseman on the field.
The second baseman wasn't very tall, had a small flat head, and didn't look very strong.
But his eyes were enough to make Kanemaru uneasy.
"Kijima Zero."
Zhang Han glanced at Chris, and Chris also glanced back at him.
In his second year, he became the main second baseman of the Qingdao Second Army.
This guy's talent should not be bad, and everyone can see his hard work.
There should be a place for him in the future lineup of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
But that's six months later, and for now, even if he performs better, it's hard to get a chance.
No way, who made the current second baseman of the Seido High School baseball team the man who looks like a demon.
Although Kijima is also very desperate, he is not beyond the scope of ordinary people after all, and compared to demons, the gap is not half a star.
Kanemaru, who returned to the freshman rest area, muttered unpleasantly.
"Isn't it just an ordinary orientation competition, and the seniors are inevitably too serious?"
Hearing his words, he kept pinching his chin and mustache with his hand, and reprimanded him dissatisfiedly.
"If that's what you think, you don't have to participate in this game!"
Ochiai, who has always been gentle to them, suddenly put on such a face, which made the first-year players very worried.
Ochiai looked around at them, "It's only been two and a half years since high school baseball was full, and there's no turning back. For those players on the field, once they miss this opportunity, I am afraid that there will be no chance to play after that? Do you understand? And if you don't have the consciousness to overcome them? Don't have the consciousness to fight to the death with them? Then you don't play at all, so as not to drag others down. ”
was reprimanded by Luoyi, and all the players fell silent.
They began to revisit the game, and were surprised to find that the results of their review were exactly the same as what Ochiai had told them.
Ochiai looked at the teenagers who had become conscious, although he still had a stern expression on his face, his heart was actually so happy.
I usually watch Kataoka supervise and educate the players, and talk about the truth at length.
In fact, he has always wanted to find opportunities to imitate, but unfortunately, he has not been able to find such opportunities.
It's good now, the opportunity has come to the door by itself.
As the overseer of the freshmen, he can learn from the superintendent Kataoka in a dignified manner.
Although Ochiai is proud of the effect, it looks like it's good.
"It's so cool!"
This kind of satisfaction was something he had never felt in his previous school. This is also in great conflict with the educational philosophy of his previous school.
In his old school, the players only supervised the chess pieces in their hands. Of course, they will choose those strong chess pieces, but no matter how strong they are, they are still just chess pieces.
The people who play chess are always the supervisors and coaches of their teams.
After joining the Seido High School baseball team, he saw firsthand how Superintendent Kataoka got along with the players.
This feeling is completely different from the team he was in before.
Now he was no longer facing chess pieces with vital signs, but a group of young samurai.
The task of overseeing is also no longer the standard-bearer. Rather, it was the one who was responsible for motivating and arranging these young samurai.
Hearing the encouragement of the Ochiai superintendent, the morale of the freshman team began to soar.
The most important thing is that they have already realized that they are on the field at this time.
They know very well what kind of opponent they are facing now.
At the same time, they also know very well what kind of consciousness their opponents have.
It's a hard-fought war, and their goal is to move up to the top of the army.
In other words, they are not only opponents on the field of play, but also competitors in each other's positions.
If the freshmen are not conscious, and the seniors in the same position are killed, they will not have a chance to be promoted to the army.
It is terrible to be born with enlightenment.
Tojo, who was in charge of pitching, showed an extremely impressive form from the start.
His pitching is not slow, and his control is not bad.
If there is any weakness, it is probably that the ball type is a little single.
Basically, it's a straight ball, and the probability of a changing ball is pitiful.
This made the veteran players of the Qingdao High School baseball team catch the flaw at once.
The opponent is really only the level of first-year freshmen, and the change ball has not yet formed a real strength.
That is, the target they hit only needs to aim at a straight ball.
"Ping!"
The first third-year hitter to stand in the strike zone, after entanglement of 5 balls, completely figured out Tojo's routine.
Then he figured out Tojo's routine and unceremoniously launched an attack.
What he is aiming for, is a straight ball!
When the baseball was knocked out, the first-year fielders, who were still immersed in the matchup, were obviously caught off guard.
They tried to stop the ball, but the baseball flew quickly, and by the time they got the ball, the first baseman had already run to first base.
No one is out, there is someone on first base!
