"So, tomorrow's two training matches are a chance for Sawamura and Shibuyani to test the last, right?"

Early June.

Friday of a certain week.

Lunch break.

This is two weeks after the last special meeting of the two-generation first-grade trio of six people in the bathhouse.

With less than a month to go until the Summer Tournament.

Qingdao High School's lineup adjustment is also ushering in the last chance.

Two weeks down the training match.

Whether it is Xiaominato in the First Army, or Sawamura and Shigu in the Second Army, they all showed their own performance.

The first-year trio will be able to get a first-year trio in every game.

In terms of substance.

It is the most outstanding existence in the current class of freshmen.

Even when he first joined the ministry, he was still recognized as the first to enter the first army and even become the main force of the former Matsukata Shoba, the main two of Tojo Hideaki and Shinji Kanamaru, who were still recognized as the first freshmen in this year's freshmen, have been left far behind by the trio.

And finally.

At the beginning of June, close to the middle of this time period.

All the training matches of the second army of Qingdao High School are also about to come to an end.

And tomorrow's two training matches.

It's the last two games of the second army.

It is worth mentioning.

It can almost be said that it exceeded everyone's expectations.

In these two weeks of the Second Army training competition.

Kunio Yamazaki, a former First Army, showed an extremely excellent striking level, averaging a 70% on-base rate per game, and an average of three-pointers per game, which made his statistics quite gorgeous, after a previous training session.

With the results of the attack in this period of time.

Kunio Yamazaki also successfully returned to the First Army.

In other words, there are only the last two remaining in the current first army quota.

In other words.

Tomorrow's two training matches.

The final two places will be decided.

This also includes the former substitute catcher of the First Army, the third-year catcher who was originally burdened with the "12" back number - Keisuke Miyauchi.

Can Keisuke Miyauchi return to the First Army.

It also depends on the performance of the two games.

"Almost, it should be said that it is the last chance of the Miyachi seniors, originally, I thought that the Miyauchi seniors would return to the first army first, but I didn't expect it to be Yamazaki seniors."

Shigeru said with a chuckle as he gently turned the baseball on his fingertips.

"The main reason is that Yamazaki's predecessor's recent striking performance in the second army competition is too good, and that kind of actual performance can't be justified if you don't return to the first army."

Miyuki clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned against the wall behind him, and said indifferently.

"That's what I said."

"Tomorrow, two training games, another double-shot start, so it seems that Coach Ochiai must have given advice to the supervision, or simply supervised himself to think so, and want to make further additions to the strength of the summer squad."

Miyuki's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said as if he had something to say.

"Kawakami's performance is too inconsistent, otherwise, it wouldn't be like this."

Shigeno nodded lightly and said.

Yu Xing on the side also sighed quietly.

"Xianshi is still under too much psychological pressure."

As for why the pressure is great, Miyuki didn't say it explicitly, but Shigeno also understood.

A lot of the time.

It's not clear in your head that you can avoid situations that you don't want to encounter.

But.

No matter how much you try to avoid it, you'll still run into it.

That's how Kawakami is.

Not a good performance, not a bad performance.

Among the students in the same level, the performance of the seniors is becoming more and more outstanding and bright.

They will all bring great performance to Kawakami.

Whether it's in the spring tournament, the Kanto tournament, or the daily training tournament, Kawakami's performance is really inconsistent.

In particular, the possession of the ball, which is proud of its sharpest weapon, has also been inconsistent in recent games.

Can you imagine Kenshi Kawakami throwing four bad shots?

The original book also has it.

But all of them are precursors or foreshadowings of the explosion of Kawakami's own mentality.

At this stage, it cannot be said that Kawakami's mentality exploded, but that it should be said that he was overly self-conscious, which led to excessive psychological pressure, which made his pitching a little deformed.

Presumably for this reason.

Superintendent Kataoka carefully considered whether to add the double throw to the first army.

"Perhaps, it's really going to be the same as the original, I can't say."

Stand up straight.

Shigeno raised his head slightly, looked at the cloudless blue scenery in the sky, and a different kind of light danced in the depths of his eyes, and whispered quietly.

"Huh? Did you just say that? Ashin? ”

"Jingle Bell 。。。。。"

"Hehe, no problem, the bell for class is ringing, it's time to go back, one."

Shigeru Ye put his hands in his trouser pockets, chuckled and shook his head, and replied.

"Speaking of which, it seems that we are training on our own tomorrow, the training match of the Second Army, do you want to watch it?"

"Go see how those two guys perform?"

"Hehe, I'm a little interested."

"Then let's wait until the morning self-training is over."

"Well, that's exactly what I said."

The end of the first week of June.

This is for Qingdao High School, especially the group of players in the second army.

It's a crucial day.

Kurodokan High School in the Higashi-Tokyo area.

Sosei High School in the Nishitokyo area.

It's also a team that has been strong in the past, and even entered Koshien, and now it's at least the second-order team in Tokyo.

As an opponent of the ranks of the Second Army.

and the final test target of the double throw.

It's a perfect fit.

And on this day on Saturday.

Shigerino had planned to watch the game.

After all, for Shigerun, whether it is Sawamura or Shizutani, based on the emotions of the original book, there are still relatively special emotions in these two boys.

It's just that, later, Shigeno himself dispelled this idea.

After all, what should be the result is what kind of result.

At this juncture around the summer tournament, any free time (aside from the necessary revisions) is precious.

Although it was a day of self-training.

Shigerun Shin personally still follows the training menu that Hiromitsu Ochiai usually makes for himself, and carries out his own training in a very orderly manner.

"Whew... Call... Call.. ”

In the large indoor training ground.

On the A-side court not far away, the first training match was already in full swing.

Shigeru is doing training on the arm muscles here.

This is also a targeted arrangement intentionally made by Hiromitsu Ochiai after seeing that Shinbu Shigerno still has the possibility of further improvement in the straight ball.

Don't assume that ball speed is inherently constant.

Be clear.

High school students are still in the period of growing their bodies.

With the growth of the physique.

and the mastery of certain necessary technologies.

It's impossible to exaggerate the ascension.

However, growth within a limited range is a high-probability event.

Just like Narumi Nari in the original book, in the future, according to the normal growth curve, it is also a proper and stable thing for the ball speed to rise to 150KM.

The same is true of Shigeno now.

150KM BALL SPEED.

This year may not be the same.

But until next year.

But it can become a reality.
