Chapter 31: Three Strikes (Second Update)

Takatsu came on the field to strike, but his opponent was not the pitcher of the Qingdao Second Army.

At this time, the one standing on the pitcher's hill was Kawakami, a substitute pitcher for the first team of the Seido High School baseball team.

Gao Jin was already well-known when he was in middle school. But any player with a little name like this is generally frighteningly high.

Take Takatsu as an example, although he knows very well in his heart that the person who can be promoted to the first team pitcher by the Seido High School baseball team must not be a simple role.

But when he saw Kawakami, he still remembered Kawakami's pitching during the morning game.

Tanba, the ace pitcher of the Seido High School baseball team, performed very well in the first six innings. It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that the three high schools of the city have not been able to find any opportunities to attack.

On the contrary to Tanba, in the game that just ended, Kawakami's performance was really unsatisfactory.

After just three innings, he lost six points.

If it weren't for the Qingdao High School baseball team, which has an ironclad garrison, it would have lost even more points.

In this case, Takatsu naturally has a certain amount of confidence in Kamikawakami.

He believes that as long as he can play his strength steadily, he should have a chance to play the ball of this senior.

So Takatsu put on a posture of going head-to-head at the beginning.

In the palace in the position of the catcher, two balls of gas spewed out from his nose like a cow.

"These little ghosts, all of them are so bold!"

They didn't pay any attention to the first-team players of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Miyauchi took a deep look at Kawakami.

Although the two usually don't communicate much, Nei believes that he still understands Kawakami's thoughts very well.

In the game that just ended, Kawakami's performance was really not outstanding.

So much so that in this game, Superintendent Kataoka let him participate.

Everyone is not stupid, and what is the intention of Superintendent Kataoka, everyone is basically clear in their hearts.

If in the battle with the new students, Kawakami has no determination to solve the other party. So even if he still stays in the first army, he may not be able to get many opportunities to play.

Under this disadvantage, if Kawakami wants to make a change, then in today's game, he must come up with a football that satisfies Kataoka.

"You came all the way from Chiba to Tokyo, you shouldn't be determined to do more than that, right?"

Seeing the eyes in the palace, Kawakami's heart was deeply shocked.

He understood what Miyauchi meant.

Now that he's in the middle of a fight, he has to break the boat.

Kawakami puffed up his chest and raised his chin high.

Obviously, at this time, he has the determination to use his strength to win down the opponents in front of him.

"Whoosh!"

Like a sharp arrow, the white ball instantly penetrated a distance of more than ten meters and appeared in front of the beater.

When you stand in the stands and watch Kawakami's pitching, you can't realize the strength of Kawakami's pitching at all, but to what extent?

Takatsu had seen Kawakami pitch many times in the stands, and with that speed, he thought he had a chance to hit the ball and hit it out.

But when Kawakami really threw the ball, Takatsu was stupid there.

"How can it be so far?"

The baseball was almost thrown into the good ball band near the low corner of the outside corner.

With such a limit of outside corners, it is estimated that it will be difficult for anyone to hit the ball without any psychological preparation.

Takatsu is no exception.

He almost watched as the little white ball passed in front of his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

And it's not just about ball control, it's really about standing in the strike zone and looking at it.

This senior's ball speed doesn't seem to be slow.

And his side-throwing gestures, the angle at which the baseball flies is completely different from that of the front pitcher.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

Just when Takatsu was dumbfounded, an inside corner kick flew right after.

The ball just now looked so far away, and now this ball looks so close.

The difference in distance directly destroyed Takatsu's self-confidence.

He stared dumbfounded, at the pitcher's mound, the not-so-tall figure, and asked himself over and over again in his mind.

"This is the senior I want to challenge? This is the senior I have the confidence to challenge? ”

Gao Jin suddenly felt that he was a toad sitting in a well and watching the sky, and he had not seen the scenery outside the well before, so he was arrogant.

It's a shame.

I didn't shoot two goals in a row, and when it came to the third goal, Takatsu couldn't help it.

He finally swung his bat out.

As a result, the ball he was aiming at suddenly slid a little.

The bats staggered past the small white balls, and in the end, no one could touch anyone.

"Good shot!"

"Strikeout!!"

Among the new students, Takatsu, who has a very high reputation, was solved so easily.

In the rest area of the new students, the expressions on everyone's faces became extremely solemn.

At this time, they clearly realized that the people who were fighting with them in front of them were some of them.

It was an elite who was screened by the Seido High School baseball team and was finally able to participate in the game for the Seido High School baseball team.

The strength of any of them is not something that these little guys who have just joined the Qingdao High School baseball team can provoke.

Because of the game they just experienced, the players of the first team of the Seongdo High School baseball team had a break in the afternoon.

They didn't waste this rare opportunity and came to watch the orientation game.

When they saw this scene, these guys all had funny expressions on their faces.

This year's freshmen are really self-righteous.

They think they're being picked out, they think they're qualified to challenge the second and third graders because they have a coach who is helping them train?

It's just a dream.

Which of the players on the Seido High School baseball team didn't join the team after screening?

Before they entered the Qingdao High School baseball team, they had already been ready to realize.

After joining the Seongdo High School baseball team, they went through the most rigorous training.

Unless it's really talented, it's hard for a newcomer to compare to a player who has been in Qingdao for a year or two.

Seido High School's baseball team, the main team, won't even recruit new players before the summer tournament.

On the one hand, it is to allow newcomers to grow physically as soon as possible.

On the other hand, I really don't see any talent in the newcomers who can stand out in the team.

Of course.

Everything, there are exceptions.

For example, two years ago, Chris at the orientation competition.

Another example is Zhang Han and Yu Xing, who just joined the team a year ago.

This year will be no exception, and there will be very good new talents emerging as well. And compared with the previous two years, there is no doubt that there are the most newcomers emerging this year.
