"Have you seen the overseer?"

"Isn't this just here, it's not too late."

A few seniors, saying goodbye to the juniors, went to Kataoka's superintendent's office first, and agreed to catch up after they came back.

When they leave school, they may not feel that after leaving school for a while, they will gradually find that Kataoka, who used to be extremely strict with them, is really good to them.

Although Kataoka's results in those years were mediocre, the team failed to reach Koshien for several years.

But he has produced a lot of good players.

And most of these players, after leaving the Qingdao High School baseball team, have returned, and some have even come back many times.

In Superintendent Kataoka's office.

I saw a few players who came to visit, especially the second time I saw Dongqingguo.

Coach Ochiai, I can't envy it.

Although Ochiai has not been here for a long time on the Seido High School baseball team, he is engaged in baseball education, but he has old qualifications and qualifications. At least twice as many years as Kataoka's overseer, or even triple.

Ochiai has cultivated a lot of players, and some of those players have made a name for themselves in professional baseball.

But whether it is a famous player or an unknown player, he has never returned to school to visit him.

It seems that since the moment they left school, the fate between them has ended.

In the rest of my life, there will be no more involvement.

On the other hand, Superintendent Kataoka, who is also engaged in baseball education, has a very high success rate among the disciples who have been educated by others.

Most importantly, these players are also very grateful and can remember to come back to see their supervisors and see the schools they fought for......

Even those who didn't make it to Koshien sent a lot of condolences to them in the days leading up to the start of this year's summer competition.

Even after leaving the team, they still sincerely hope that the Qingdao High School baseball team will get better and better.

In contrast, Ochiai's work as a baseball educator in the years before that was a joke was nothing short of a joke.

"It's enviable!"

Ochiai feels that his mentality is going to go wrong.

It seems that he came to the Qingdao High School baseball team not only to learn how to be a good coach of a team. I also have to learn how to get along with the players.

is also engaged in baseball education, why is he so much worse than Superintendent Kataoka?

Ochiai's heart was pantothenic, but the other giants of the Seido High School baseball team didn't feel it at all.

Whether they cooperate with the previous supervisor or the current supervisor Kataoka, it is common for players to come to visit.

Probably in their consciousness, this is a very normal phenomenon, and there is nothing worth saying.

It's just that the age of the superintendent before Seido High School is a little older, and he doesn't put so much effort into the players, and he doesn't have the same ability to speak as well as Superintendent Kataoka.

So the number of people who came to visit the old overseer was a little smaller, but basically there were two or three people a week.

Superintendent Kataoka is young and energetic.

Basically, every player on the Seido High School baseball team has been mentored by him to a greater or lesser extent.

Even some players from the second and third armies, he never gave up.

Therefore, there are a lot of people who come to see Kataoka.

It's just that the vast majority of them are mixed in with ordinary old alumni, except for a few particularly famous people, it is difficult for ordinary players to cause a sensation.

They are different in the Eastern Qing Kingdom, even if they keep a low profile, with their current identity and status, it is impossible not to cause a commotion.

Therefore, it is essential to take the initiative to visit and supervise.

"I've read your report, and I'm proud of you!"

The interest of Superintendent Kataoka is very high.

The troika of the former Qingdao High School baseball team, whether it was a professional team or a university, had a good performance.

"I didn't make the cut this summer, and I was a shame for Qingdao."

"Don't say that, you're only a first-year player after all, and it's good to be able to mix in the rotation at this age. Don't slack off, I believe that as long as you continue to work hard, you will definitely be able to find a place in your school. ”

Superintendent Kataoka encouraged with a smile.

Although it is said that the Qingdao High School baseball team now has an absolute core trump card, in the past, the Qingdao High School baseball team was in an ace drought. Even though they train a lot of pitchers every year, in the end, none of them can play.

So much so that the Qingdao High School baseball team had a poor record in those years.

Until Hidesawa appeared.

If Yukikazu and Jang Han are the catalysts for the Seido High School baseball team.

The emergence of these two super newcomers helped the Qingdao High School team to greater glory.

The existence of Hidesawa is like a solid base. It is because of his awakening that the Qingdao High School baseball team can usher in a reborn change.

If it weren't for him, even with the addition of Zhang Han and Yu Xing, the Qingdao High School baseball team would not dare to guarantee that it would be able to win the Daocheng industry at that time.

"What a compliment to you, Supervisor!"

I used to supervise myself so strictly, but now I talk about my progress with a pleasant face.

Xiuze's feelings are still quite peculiar.

"Speaking of the past, when we just entered the school, we saw those friends, and everyone's interest didn't seem to be very high, huh?"

The opponent is the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, and according to the habits of the Qingdao High School baseball team in previous years, this time should not be more active in preparing for the game.

How it looks, everyone is a little absent-minded.

"They watched Narumiya's pitching before, and they were a little shocked."

"Didn't we just fight each other during the Kanto Conference?"

It's only been two months now, and it's impossible for the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team not to be mentally prepared at all.

"The opponent has already defeated their opponent without showing their true strength."

If the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team had already shown their hole cards, or Narimiya had taken out a pitch they had never seen before.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team may be shocked, but they have a bottom in their hearts.

As long as the other party can show it, they can find a way to restrain it.

But now, the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School and Narumiya Ming have not burst out of their true strength.

There has been no match for two months, and for the current Qingdao High School baseball team, the current Inagi Industry is a completely unknown monster.

It is definitely not an easy task to defeat such a monster.

Every little friend of the Qingdao High School baseball team has such a premonition in their hearts.

It is precisely because of this that they fall into this state of depression.

They know that they have a powerful opponent in front of them, but they don't know what kind of means this opponent is hiding.

In this way, they naturally can't think of a way to fight this opponent.

This is the biggest problem that the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are currently encountering.

"I didn't expect this year's Daocheng Industry to be so strong?"

After hearing this, the three of them in Dongqingguo were also a little surprised.

It's not that they don't know the strength of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team, but in the quarterfinals, they were able to end the game early in 5 innings and score a huge score of 13 points.

And even without showing real strength......

That's a bit of a!

At least when they were in Qingdao, the Daocheng industry they encountered did not have such a strong strength.

"No wonder the newspaper said that this year's Daocheng Industry is known as the strongest ever. I thought it was a newspaper exaggeration, but now it looks like the newspaper is not lying. ”

Playing against such a team, even if the Seido High School baseball team has won against each other before, it may not be possible to be sure if they meet again.

"Is there anything we can do? You just command. ”

Tanaka deserves to be the former captain, and he is keenly aware that Vice Minister Takashima Rei keeps looking back and forth on them.

You must know that in the past, the vice minister's eyes would only be aimed at Zhang Han and Yu Xing, but there has never been such a rude thing as them.

Now that the deputy minister is suddenly so enthusiastic, if Tanaka's guess is correct, the other party must have something to ask for.

Rather than waiting for Takashima to speak, it is better for them to take the initiative to ask.

Hearing Tanaka's words, Rei Takashima looked at Superintendent Kataoka excitedly.

"It's in high school baseball, it's absolutely not allowed."

Superintendent Kataoka stood up, "I still have some business, you can take a good tour of the school, I won't accompany you." ”

"Overseer, please!"

Dongqingguo didn't say much to Inspector Kataoka in total, and the Inspector was about to leave now, and he was a little dazed.

Tian Center understood, "You can rest assured, Supervisor." This is our home too! ”

The corners of Kataoka's mouth twitched, nodded slightly, and then opened the door and went out.

"If you visit......

As soon as Minister Ota touched the back of his head, he was ready to take Tanaka and a few people to visit.

But as soon as he wanted to take action, a huge question flashed in his mind.

Tanaka has been at school for three years, spending 80% of their time on the court, except for classes and sleeping.

Why does it feel so strange to take them to visit the stadium of the Seongdo High School baseball team?

Let them be tour guides, it's pretty much the same.

"The Overseer agreed!"

A smile appeared on Rei Takashima's face.

"What did the Overseer agree to?"

Minister Ota looked puzzled, and Dong Qingguo also frowned.

"You can accompany the players to practice later, and it's okay to throw the ball directly after the warm-up, Xiuzawa?"

A faint smile appeared on Xiuzawa's face, "No problem. ”

Minister Ota asked with a puzzled expression, "Is Hidesawa going to participate in the practice too?" He's a college student......"

"No one will know, now that the training is over, there is no one else in the school at all. Even if it is known, as long as we bite it to death and don't admit it, no one will say anything. ”

"But the overseer ...... him"

"He's agreed."

It wasn't until now that Minister Ota wondered what had just happened.

The overseer deliberately avoided it.

This is too, it makes people speechless.

"Tanaka, Higashi, what about the two of you?"

"No problem."

Tanaka smiled and nodded.

"Then you come to strike, Xiuzawa comes to pitch."

Rei Takashima had such a plan for a long time.

Because of Narumiya's pitching, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have indeed been affected a lot.

So much so that now, many players are thinking in their minds, has Narumiya developed a new change ball?

If he goes all out, how much strength can he burst out now?

Compared with the smooth sailing of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, the road to the current promotion of the Qingdao High School baseball team is undoubtedly much more bumpy.

Everyone thinks that there is no super team in the group of Seido High School baseball team.

The Qingdao High School baseball team also had a smooth journey and reached the semifinals.

But how do others know the challenges they have encountered in the process?

Sakurasawa High School, Meikawa Gakuen, Valley High School......

These three dark horse-level teams defeated them relatively easily after the Qingdao High School baseball team found their weaknesses.

But who knows what the Seongdo High School baseball team will face in these three games.

It was originally hidden by the Qingdao High School baseball team as a means of hole cards.

Because of the appearance of these guys, several ...... have been exposed

And the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, so far, there is no need to expose any hole cards at all, and they have successfully advanced just by relying on substitute players.

Comparing the two, the Qingdao High School baseball team naturally suffered a lot of losses.

The strength of the other party is unknown, but his side has exposed a lot of strength.

In this case, it is no wonder that the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team will not be very interested.

Strictly speaking, their next game against the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School can no longer be regarded as a fair competition.

At least in terms of information warfare, the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team must have more hole cards than the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Rei Takashima realized this, but there was no way to fix it.

In order to let the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team sweep away the haze in their hearts and actively face the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School.

Then you have to have an opponent to stimulate.

It's the time of the tournament, and it's impossible for the Seido High School baseball team to find a suitable partner to practice with.

The team that has been eliminated, the Seido High School baseball team can't see it. If the team is not eliminated, the Seido High School baseball team may still be a rival with others.

Not to mention that as the team eliminated, those third-year players also retired.

Even if it was originally a strong team, at this time, there was an empty shell left with a strong outsider and a middle-class team.

How can they play against the Seido High School baseball team, let alone meet the requirements of the Seongdo High School baseball team?

All this is very unrealistic.

At this time, the three Dongqingguo who happened to come to the team came at the right time.

There is no better person to practice the game than they are......

The other two are still a little close, and the key is Xiuze.

As the last ace pitcher of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the Qingdao High School baseball team is now the main second- and third-year players, and the impression of Xiuzawa can be said to be very profound?

They must have imagined more than once how to deal with the pitch when they stand in the strike zone and face the pitch of Senior Hidezawa?

Make that vision a reality now.

The friends will be very excited, and they must be eager to practice.

All Takashima needs to do is satisfy them.

In the minds of the friends of the Seido High School baseball team, Hidesawa is an opponent no less than Narumi Narumiya. As long as they find confidence in the duel with Xiuze, then the Narumi Cheng Gong that they are about to encounter will not be a difficult problem to solve.

On the court, the Qingdao friends who got the news were very excited.

Tanaka, who was changing equipment, tilted his head and glanced at Dong Qingguo.

"Do you want to be together?"

Hidesawa is in charge of testing hitters, and his job is to help pitchers.

Compared to him, who is still on the bench, Dong Qingguo, who has already fought in the professional arena, is undoubtedly more representative.

"I don't want to play with the children."

Dong Qingguo turned his head to the side.

"It's not like you'd say it, I thought you'd be positive."

Tanaka smiled and suddenly asked with a gossipy face.

"I heard from Izawaki before, you once fought against Zhang Han, how is that guy's strength now?"

As a die-hard fan of Dongqingguo, Jun Izakiki certainly won't tell others about his idol's troubles.

He only revealed the news that the two had faced off.

"Don't talk nonsense, how I don't know ......"

Dongqingguo came to deny three times.

"It seems that the result of the duel should not be good, but I am really a little curious, and I don't know what Zhang Han's pitching has become now?"

Although Zhang Han switched to pitcher, they had not left the team at that time and practiced together.

But at that time, Zhang Han's pitching was very unstable, and he was able to get the ball speed.

Kakuei Tanaka, who has personally experienced it in the strike zone, is definitely the fastest ball speed he has ever seen in his life.

He was really curious, after a year, he didn't know how far Zhang Han had grown now?

On the other side, the hitters of the Seido High School baseball team are ready.

"Fight against Xiuzawa's seniors, I'll play the first bat!"

Junichi Izagiki rushed to the front of the line first.

Tetsuya Yuuki, Toru Masuko, and Ryosuke Kominato are also eyeing up there.

These third-graders are more positive than the other.

Even the two first-year students who had never seen Xiuzawa before were mixed in the team, wanting to get a chance to strike.

"Hansang, what are you doing here?"

Jinguji looked at Zhang Han in front of him and asked curiously.

"I'm also a hitter on the team, what kind of eyes do you have?"

Zhang Han looked at the junior brother in front of him very unhappily.

"Forget it, Zhang Han, you go to the side."

Takashima gave the order directly.

Although Zhang Han was unhappy, he could only retreat.

Hidezawa, who was about to pitch the pitcher mound, silently breathed a sigh of relief.

faced off against Zhang Han like this, and he was really not mentally prepared.
