PS: Two chapters are still owed.

At the end of July, the regional preliminaries of the Summer Competition are about to usher in the final hustle and bustle, and it is also the most enthusiastic and intense season in the whole summer.

Similarly, for Shigerino, he definitely doesn't want to show up for a lot of performance this summer, not only because of the pitcher's self-esteem, but also because the things he carries, the responsibilities that he needs to take on when he stands on the pitcher's mound, are far from being as easy as he imagined.

In the week before the big war is coming.

There is no time left for Shigeno Shin to regret what happened before.

Introspection, then correction, and finally dedication to active preparation, this is what Shigeroka Shin should do, and it is also the scene that Kataoka Superintendent wants to see the most, after returning from the quarterfinals, Shigerano Shin quickly cheered up, and he was able to train the whole day the next day, unlike those first-year freshmen who were easy to be hit and lost, so Kataoka Superintendent nodded secretly in his heart.

It's not terrible to make mistakes, but it's terrible to make mistakes that not only don't make fun of self-correction, but also blindly immerse yourself in past regrets, unable to get out of the loss, as long as you can adjust in time and ensure that you don't make the same mistakes in future games, that's enough.

Superintendent Kataoka's expectations for Nobu Shigerino were quite high.

What he hopes to see is that Shigerino Shin will be able to grow mentally and become more mature while growing his personal strength.

The amount of the trump card.

It sounds like a very illusory thing.

In fact, it is the most important measure of whether a pitcher has the qualifications of an ace.

Being able to correct oneself in time is one of the qualities that an ace must have.

From Nobu Mono's performance, Superintendent Kataoka can feel that Nobu Shigerino is growing steadily, which is enough, at least, not only in the future, but also in the current summer tournament, in the next two games, Shigerino Shin can still appear as the team's combat force.

"The main thing is the blow of the blow, the butterfly ball, there is no law to follow at all, don't try to find the law of the blow in the strike zone, understand?"

"Wait as close as possible for the ball to come close before shooting, and make sure that the bat can touch the ball at the most extreme distance."

"Although the ball speed is not fast, it is difficult to catch the trajectory, and the result of playing the ball early can only be missed or even missed."

"You don't need to swing the stick vigorously, it's the speed at which the ball gets close."

Because of the particularity of the butterfly ball, there is no way to carry out actual combat simulation training in the line of Seido High School, and it can only be carried out to a certain amount of free strike training to strengthen their feel, as Kataoka said, because the ball speed is not fast, the butterfly ball itself does not have much strong ball power and tail strength, and it is completely meaningless to swing the bat, and it needs to be able to capture the blow of the ball in real time.

This is a great test of the basic skills of the beater.

Because there is no rule change, you can't swing the stick in advance, so you can only wait for the moment when the ball is closest to your body, and the speed must be fast, otherwise, at that distance, if you are a little slower by half a beat, the ball will definitely run into the catcher's ball sleeve.

This kind of strike training even has a little bit of the meaning of ideological simulation training in it.

Of course, Yuuki seniors are quite talented and talented in this aspect, facing the air, simulating all kinds of possible situations, no matter what kind of pitcher, which type of ball, Yuuki seniors can sketch out well in their own minds, and achieve a good idea simulation training.

In the original book, the monkey four-stick - Thunder City is also a strong point in this regard, but it is very likely that this is just a talent forced out by his unscrupulous poor ghost father.

A week is both long and short.

In the preparation of these colleges and universities, time also flies by.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the great war.

On Thursday, July 28, according to the rules of this summer tournament, tomorrow is the semi-finals, and the day after tomorrow is the final, and the semi-finals and the finals are only one day apart.

Today can be said to be the last quiet before the Great War.

"Basically, the overall strength of Sakurasawa High School's playing line is weak, and there are no particularly vigilant hitters among them, no need for too flashy pitching and guarding, as long as you play steadily, the opponent wants to break through our defense, the difficulty is extremely high, remember, carelessness is the biggest enemy, you know?"

"Yes, Overseer!!"

"There is no need to be anxious when attacking, the butterfly ball, the requirements for the pitcher itself are also very high, the catcher can not have the slightest mistake, the first round, it is naturally best to find an opportunity, even if you can't find an opportunity, it doesn't matter if you completely give up to observe and adapt to the ball, don't attack because of anxiety, half-hung swinging the bat, will only boost the opponent's momentum, absolutely remember this!!"

At the top of the place, Superintendent Kataoka looked at the people of Qingdao High School below with a cold gaze, and said in a calm tone.

"Yes!!"

"Next, it's tomorrow's start."

"One bat, right fielder, Hirosaka."

"Yes."

"Second baseman, second baseman, Kominato"

"Yes."

Basically, there is no adjustment to the starting lineup, and this is already the best lineup that Seido High School has honed since last fall, and in the next semi-finals, the finals, there are no surprises, and it is basically impossible to make any big changes.

"Eight, pitcher, Inoue."

Inoue Senpai, who announced his ace return with an outstanding performance in the quarterfinals, also deservedly qualified for the semifinals.

It's that simple at Seido High School.

Kataoka's coaching style and United Front philosophy are that whoever is in good shape will be given priority to whoever plays first, and Inoue seniors have proven that their trump card qualifications are well deserved.

Then, the position of the starting pitcher naturally belongs to Inoue's seniors.

"Yes, overseer !!"

Inoue's eyes were obviously shining, and he was very excited to say loudly, and Shigeno Shin, who was sitting at the bottom, knew in his heart that tomorrow's starting pitcher would definitely not be him, and in any case, his performance in the last game was indeed a little too bad.

Shigerano thought a little self-deprecating in his heart.

"Nine, left fielder, Shigerno Shin."

Just when Shigerano's mind drifted to tomorrow's game.

Suddenly, Inspector Kataoka's voice sounded in his ears again, and the flat gaze that looked at him, Shigerano Nobu suddenly raised his head and looked at Inspector Kataoka with a look of consternation.

Ha?

Left fielder?

Or a starter?

At this time, Shigerano's mind was a little out of order.
