Chapter 15: The Upcoming Contest (Part 3)
It's also in the passage of time.
In April, the entire Tokyo area is about to usher in the first official competition of the year in the region - the Tokyo Metropolitan Spring Competition, with last year's autumn competition as a reference, more than 90 high schools selected to participate in a competition, because it is only linked to the Kanto competition, the gold content of this competition is not high, relatively speaking, this as a sentinel before the summer competition, is often used by major universities as a training competition before the summer, running in new teams, honing new players and the like.
Therefore, in the spring competition, it is also a competition where the major giants often overturn.
It can be said that this is one of the features of the spring competition.
It is also the fun of watching the game that the audience likes to see.
"Spring Contestγγγγγγγ"
The advent of the competition,The training of the baseball club of Qingdao High School has also been significantly differentiated,The A-side playground is basically given to the first army players for training,At present, in the team,There are only second-year and third-year seniors,As the only two pitchers of the team,The third-year ace - Inoue Koji's seniors,And the second-year,Tanba Koichiro with the back number 10.γ
It is the center of the team's training at this stage.
In the past few years, Seido High School's playing line has been at the top stage in the country, and in the entire Kanto region, none of the teams that have played practice matches with Seido High School can be said to have pitched to the extent that they can really suppress Seido High School's playing line.
The offense is tough, but Qingdao High School has a fatal deficiency in defense, that is, there is no stable ace pitcher, whether it is the third-year Inoue senior, or the second-year Tamba senior, the former is a problem with strength, and the latter is a problem with mentality.
Leads to Seido High School many times.
In the middle and second half of the game, there are often losses due to the self-explosion of the pitcher, last year's summer competition, last year's autumn competition, and earlier games, such experiences really abound in the past few years, a pitcher who can really be called an ace, is the fatal pain of Qingdao High School, and it is also the reason why Qingdao High School repeatedly stops in the top four and quarterfinals in the annual competition.
Because as long as you encounter Daocheng Industry, City University Sangao, and Teto High School, which are the real powerhouses in the Tokyo area, then, the loopholes in the garrison of Qingdao High School will be infinitely magnified, and the line of Qingdao High School is strong, but the line of those strong men is not a joke.
"Perseverance, Koichiro, you bastard boy doesn't have any perseverance at all in the ball, show me perseverance, my soul is !!!"
"Yes ... Higashi seniors. β
"Soul Dull, haven't you had enough to eat? Give me a loud voice, and with your virtue, don't go on the field and disgrace our team!! β
In the strike zone, Dong Qingguo was completely furious, and the appearance of yelling at Tanba on the pitcher's mound was in stark contrast to the sweaty appearance of Tanba's predecessors.
"Yes!!"
Koichiro Tanba mustered all his strength and replied loudly.
"Come on, throw a few more shots, if it doesn't work, just get out of here, and replace someone who can come up, understand!?"
"Yes, Higashi-senpai !!"
A commonplace scene.
As the real core of the team at present, Dongqingguo's seniors are basically dominating the training rhythm on the training ground, especially for the pitchers within the team, Dongqingguo's seniors just like to temper them, not to mention Tanbo in the second grade, even if it is Inoue in the same grade, as long as the ball is thrown, which makes Dongqingguo very dissatisfied, Dongqingguo will shout unceremoniously.
As a four-batter, as a captain, Dong Qingguo considers it his duty.
"Whoosh"
"Huh"
"Pong !!"
"More, come again, give me a little harder, !! Tamba"
"Yes, Higashi-senpai!!"
The seniors of the second and third grades have long been accustomed to the behavior of the seniors of the Eastern Qing Kingdom on the court, or it should be said that if the seniors of the Eastern Qing Kingdom do not roar twice one day, those seniors will feel strange.
"Izaki, you have to shout it out to me when you strike, you have to have enough momentum, you have to be enough, you have to be enough, understand!?"
"Yes! Higashi seniors!! β
Not lost to the big voice of Dongqingguo at all.
As a famous silky dog in the original book, Izaki Jun's activity on the court will never lose to Dongqingguo, but in this way, for first-year freshmen, such a scene makes them a little stunned.
Especially those players in the team who are more introverted by nature, such as Kenshi Kawakami, are already a little trembling.
The seniors are so scary.
This is the only feeling that Kenshi Kawakami has at the moment.
There is an atmosphere on the pitch, and the cowshed also has the posture that a cowshed should have.
"Huh"
"Smack"
"OK, OK, OK, today's state is also very good, Ashin."
Miyuki threw the ball in his hand at Shigerino Shin with his backhand, and said to Shigerino Shin with a faint smile on his face.
"Well, it's okay, let's try to cut the ball."
Shigerno Shin helped the brim of his hat and said in a deep voice, as the only two allowed to touch the ball, Shigerno Shin and Miyuki Ichiya are simply outside the cowshed, the envy of those freshmen, and it has been more than a week since they entered the department, and their freshmen are still persisting in endurance training.
Only Shigerino Shin can pitch, and only Miyuki is allowed to wear a catcher protector to catch the ball, such a gap really makes those freshmen in the same class envious and jealous.
"No problem."
Miyuki crouched down again and set up to catch the ball.
Shigerino Shin quickly danced his right arm, the whistling arm, suddenly shook down, a bright white light jumped out of Shigerino's hand at this moment, and galloped away in the direction of Miyuki's ball set not far away.
Gorgeous refracted trajectories, terrifying speed of change.
"Boom!!"
The dull roar made the eyebrows of the third-grade Inoue who was pitching on the side couldn't help but shake a few times.
Although it is not the first time that I have seen Shigeruno's pitching.
However, the change of Shigerino's cut ball, as well as the power of the straight ball, still made Inoue feel a little breathtaking.
Is this kid really in 1st grade!?
This is the only sense that Koji Inoue has for Shin Shigeruno.
"Inoue senior, next, a low straight ball in the outside corner."
Senior Chris, who was also squatting in the cowshed, whispered to Koji Inoue not far away with a gentle expression and a touch of respect.
"yes, I understand."
Inoue's predecessor bowed his head slightly, and the figure suddenly moved.
Suddenly shook his arms.
"Whoosh"
"Smack"
The straight ball path is not an exaggerated sound, and in terms of the power and tail strength of the straight ball, Inoue is undoubtedly inferior to Shigerino Shin, and the ball speed is only between 135KM and 140KM, but in terms of ball control, Inoue is higher than Shigerano Shin.
