Chapter XXIV: The Situation

Seido High School defeated Metropolitan No. 3 High School by a big margin, and it was another five-game valid game.

This incident has once again caused great repercussions throughout Tokyo.

At the beginning of the competition, although no one dared to underestimate the Qingdao High School baseball team, there were not many who were really optimistic about them.

It was widely believed that they would be the spoilers of Nishitokyo. But it seems a bit unrealistic to say that they were able to win in the end.

Yes, they play very strongly.

It looks even stronger than the third high school of the city university, and Daocheng Industry.

But they can't stand their pitcher formation!

As long as there is this weakness, when encountering a really strong team, the Seongdo High School baseball team will definitely have big problems.

But after two rounds of competition, Qingdao successfully advanced to the round of 16. Although in the process, they have conceded a point or two in every game.

But they scored more points, 16 points in Game 1 and 21 points in Game 2.

The point is, this is only the score scored by other people's five games of attack.

In contrast, the few points they lost can only be regarded as drizzle.

In this case, who would dare to assert that the Seido High School baseball team doesn't stand a chance?

Not to mention outsiders, the attitude of the Qingdao High School baseball team has changed dramatically.

Originally, the school leaders and coaching staff didn't think that they had many chances in this tournament, they watched the team organize with their own eyes, and they knew exactly how many hidden dangers their team had.

But it was these players who made them full of anxiety that brought them great surprises when they arrived in the arena.

I have to say that Superintendent Kataoka is really an amazing person.

When he first led the team, the team didn't seem to be doing well. There are no too good seedlings, and there will always be various problems when adjusting the team.

But the amazing thing is that as long as it comes to the game, these players, who are obviously full of problems, are often very capable of playing.

Strange, you say, isn't it strange?

In the past few years of Seido High School, it is true that I have not entered Koshien. However, there are many times when they have won the top 4, and the last time is the top 16 in Tokyo.

Although for a giant club such as the Seido High School baseball team, as long as it fails to make Koshien, it is considered a failure.

But the team didn't erode to the point where they had to change their supervision.

At the very least, the council saw the potential of Kataoka's overseer.

Or rather, they don't think that in this environment, a change of supervisor can turn things around.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the most important reason why Qingdao High School has been unable to open the situation for a long time is not because of how big a problem they have, but because of the strong rise of Daocheng.

The competition for places in Koshien is so fierce!

In the past five years, the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team has represented Tokyo 6 times, and Nishitokyo has participated in Koshien 6 times.

There are also two junior high schools in the city university, and one time in Seido High School (Kataoka was a superintendent in his first year, five years ago. There was also a spring armor where the opportunity was taken over by a team from East Tokyo.

And Daocheng's strength has not started in the last five years.

Since Guoyou began to be the supervisor of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, he has entered Koshien more than a dozen times in the past ten years.

It has long been the de facto overlord of Nishitokyo.

In this way, the third high school of the city university and Qingdao high school in the same district, of course, life will not be better.

In fact, not only Qingdao, but also the three high schools of the city university have encountered a lot of problems. It's just that compared to Qingdao, their lives are slightly better.

At least in the past five years, people have entered Koshien twice, and their faces are not too ugly.

Originally, everyone thought that the most promising one to enter Koshien in this New Tokyo Competition was Inagi Industry.

Unexpectedly, the Qingdao High School baseball team came out halfway.

Judging from the first three rounds of the competition, the strongest team in Nishitokyo is probably still Seido High School.

After all, after two games, the lead has the most points.

So much so that the principal and director of Qingdao High School all felt a little pie in the sky. In the past two days, I have quietly visited the team three or four times, showing my presence from time to time and encouraging the players.

Then, under the cold gaze of Superintendent Kataoka, he quietly retreated.

The big score advanced to the round of 16, and the outside world's evaluation of the Qingdao High School baseball team rose.

The players of the Qingdao High School baseball team are not happy.

They advanced to the round of 16 in the morning, and then heard that at Hachioji Stadium, the spring tournament had just beaten their city high school.

With a huge score of 25:0, he bloodied his opponent in the 1/8 finals.

It was also 5 innings to end the game early.

Originally, Inagi Industry had already secured the hegemony of West Tokyo.

Now it seems that their supremacy is not so secure.

Both challengers showed terrifying offensive strength.

No matter which one you encounter, it will inevitably have a huge impact on Daocheng Industry.

Now, the only thing that Daocheng Industrial High School can be fortunate about is the grouping of this competition.

Before encountering them Daocheng, Qingdao High School and the third high school of the city university had to fight hard first.

And in terms of format, they also have the advantage of physical strength.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are all under pressure.

Speaking of which, they are unlucky enough.

In the spring competition, they had just won their third highest school in the city, and they actually advanced first.

In this way, the three high schools of the city university can wait for work in the next quarter-finals with them.

Those guys, tomorrow, can even go and watch them play against the Aoyama High School baseball team in a leisurely mood.

Just thinking about it makes people angry.

In the afternoon, the third-grade seniors sweated on the court as if they had eaten gunpowder.

Minister Ota was in a hurry and rubbed his hands together on the side of the court.

Because of the excitement of the third high school of the city university, the contestants couldn't calm down.

Their eyes have been completely occupied by the word revenge.

But don't forget, they still have a game tomorrow?

If you drain all your energy today, what will you do tomorrow?

As long as he thinks of this, Minister Ota is like an ant on a hot pot, anxious.

In the end, he had no choice but to tell Superintendent Kataoka, hoping that Superintendent would come forward.

I didn't expect Kataoka to have a completely free-range attitude.

"Let them go! They're drained, aren't there any first- and second-year players? ”

Hearing this, Ota thought about it, and it seemed to be true.

In the past, 80 or 90 percent of the team were third-year players, and the junior players couldn't make it to the climate at all.

But it's different now!

Zhang Han in the first grade, Yuyuki Kazuya. Tetsuya Yuuki in the second year, Jun Izashaki, Ryosuke Kominato, and Koichiro Tanami.

The first and second grade players can form most of the team, and most of the team is quite strong.

It's perfectly possible to play.

But tomorrow is the 1/8 finals, the fourth round of the Nishitokyo Tournament.

Is it really good to do that?
