Chapter Seventy-Three: Unexpectedly (Happy New Year!) )
"Can I do it?"
The teenager named Tamba was trembling before he went on the field. He was very nervous, and his tense blood circulation was not normal.
"Cast well, just show your usual strength."
Superintendent Kataoka wasn't as stern as he used to be, he said softly.
In the face of a nervous Tanba, Kataoka had no way to lay out high-demand tactics for him. He was already nervous to the extreme, and any tactics assigned to him at this time would be even worse.
The most important thing now is to relax.
If it were possible, Superintendent Kataoka was really reluctant to send such a disciple to the field. But there is no way, who makes him have no more suitable candidates under him.
Not only did he want to send Tanbo, but he also wanted to appease Tanbo. Otherwise, after this player comes on the court, it is very likely that because of too much tension, there is no way to throw the ball into a good ball belt.
Although there is a third-year pitcher in the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team, there are also people in the outfielder lineup who can pitch.
But their strength, even in the Nishitokyo regional tournament, could not be used by the Seido High School baseball team.
Not to mention in Koshien, where you can play against Kiryu Osaka, the strongest attack force in the country. At that point, the Qingdao High School baseball team does not have to continue to play, and can directly raise the white flag and surrender.
The team's only hope is Tambo. Although this candidate, it is not so satisfactory. But there is always hope that he can stop the attack of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.
Although the probability is not very high, and the hope is not very high, there is always hope, isn't it?
If you change to someone else, there is a high probability that there is no hope.
At this time, Kataoka really felt the embarrassment that no one was available.
He even regretted it a little, why didn't he let Zhang Han be a pitcher as soon as possible to compete?
Zhang Han's talent is outstanding, he also has a certain strength, and the most important thing is that he also has a super big heart, even if it is a big scene, it will not affect his performance.
Even if he can't become an ace, it is necessary to train him and save the scene at a critical moment.
Kataoka, who doesn't have much experience with Koshien, summed up a very important experience at this time.
Useful pitchers, whether they end up being aces or not, the more the better......
It seems that in the future work, we will have to put more effort into this area.
In fact, there was a professional baseball player from the Seido baseball team who gave Kataoka advice.
They believe that outfielders should also be trained as pitchers.
This has two advantages, on the one hand, it can improve the overall quality of the players. On the other hand, it also gives players more possibilities.
A professional baseball team with about twenty-five members. Nearly half of these players are pitchers.
That is to say, you can't be an ace, and being able to pitch the ball will also give players who enter professional baseball more opportunities to stand out.
In the past, Kataoka didn't listen to these at all. But now that Kataoka has experienced it himself, his mind has changed a lot.
He suddenly found that the advice of the previous players did not seem to be completely without merit.
After this year, he can really try to train more pitchers.
It turns out that pitchers mean so much to a team! In many cases, it can even directly decide the life and death of the team.
Kataoka's frustration in his heart will not tell anyone, and he will not bring forward future changes in a grand manner. Some things are like that, you can do it, you can say no.
When things are done to a certain extent, he doesn't need to say it, and he succeeds.
Kataoka secretly thought in his heart that although he had a plan in his heart, the difficulties in front of him still could not be solved.
Tamba, who was about to pitch on the court, finally mustered up the courage to face it head-on with the encouragement of him and the players.
For him, this is a step across history.

But Kataoka could see that this was just a duck to the shelves, and Tanba didn't really relax.
Although he shouted loudly, the response to his teammates around him was also enthusiastic.
But it is precisely because of this that it shows that he is not good at heart. If he had confidence in his heart, he would not behave so deliberately that people would not be able to believe it at all.
Kataoka still knows a lot about this disciple who grew up under his hands.
The more he did this, the more nervous he became.
Superintendent Kataoka had the heart to say a few more words, but he knew very well that it didn't make much sense.
Tanba's nervous mood does not relax because of someone's words or two.
If you really want to let him relax, it still depends on his performance on the court, if he performs well enough, his nervous state will naturally ease.
But can it really be that smooth?
Although the offense of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team also started from the 6th base. But Kataoka has no way, as calm as Takahiro Matsumoto.
Kiryu High School Osaka, known as Team Cosmos, is the first choice for more than one-third of the country's players when they enter high school.
They have never lacked good seedlings, and they recruit real elites from all over the country.
There are nearly 100 such elites in Kiryu, Osaka, and from these nearly 100 people, nine out of every ten people are eliminated through layers of screening and assessment.
In the end, the players who can stand on the court are all true baseball elites who are one in a thousand.
Strictly speaking, none of their players are weak.
Their offensive strength in all positions is the best in the country! Even if you are a mid-to-lower player, you are not an opponent who can be easily solved.
In fact, after Tanba came on the field, he was quickly attacked by the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.
The people of Kiryu, Osaka, knew in their hearts that they didn't have much of a chance left. If they can't take advantage of this opportunity to open the score, then their situation after that will definitely not be too good.
To avoid this, they score as much as they can.
"Ping!"
Tambo, who had just come on the field, was hit hard by his opponent.
The sixth baseball of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team scored a clean hit.
Then the seventh batter on the court was even more unambiguous, directly knocking out a two-point home run.
The seventh batter in the lower position can even hit a home run!
This result is undoubtedly very difficult to accept, but the reality is so cruel. The Qingdao High School baseball team just caught up with the score, and the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team gave them a hard slap.
The aggregate score became 12:8, and the gap between the two sides was stretched to four points.
What's even more terrifying is that the Qingdao High School baseball team has not scored a single number of outs so far.
In the stands, even the most stubborn supporters of Qingdao couldn't help it at this time, and closed their eyes in pain.
Finished!
