Chapter 164: Before the game
On Friday, July 22, on the eve of the start of the quarterfinals, all major universities are making the final preparations before the game, whether it is West Tokyo or East Tokyo, a total of 16 teams, only four teams can enter Jingu Stadium to show the strength of their teams, and only two teams can finally settle in the Tokyo Division, win the only ticket for each, representing the glory of Tokyo, go to Nishinomiya City, and compete for the hegemony of the country.
On the eve of this whole summer competition.
All the results of the schedule were basically not expected by many spectators.
Whether it is West Tokyo or East Tokyo, the familiar powerhouses are still very strong, each of them won the victory of their own team, and advanced to round after round of events.
Needless to say, the three giants of Western Tokyo.
East Tokyo's Teto High School, Kurodokan High School, Kasugaichi High School, Ukumori High School, Wanggu High School, etc. are also considered to be quite outstanding in Tokyo in the original book, or relatively strong teams have also advanced to the regional quarterfinals.
The predictions of the audience are also accurate in the general round.
However, the next quarterfinals will not be a competition where the audience can predict the outcome so well, and the strength gap between the above-mentioned teams, including these universities in Nishitokyo, has! But there is absolutely no disparity, and even the difference in strength between some schools is only a millimeter.
As a result, in the next game, no matter who defeats whom, there is no big surprise, and the team that can reach the Tokyo Fierce Zone and the quarterfinals will be able to play.
The offensive and defensive intensity of any university should not be underestimated.
Of course, among these strong matches, West Tokyo and East Tokyo each have a quarter-finals, which is the most eye-catching, because it is also the worst prediction of the outcome of the match in the Tokyo audience, no matter what happens, it is normal, and it must be a high-quality, high-level match.
Nishitokyo: Seido High School VS Sensen High School.
East Tokyo: Kasugaichi High School VS Kurodokan High School.
Needless to say, the competition between Qingdao High School and Sensen High School is a veteran famous family in the Tokyo area, Sensen High School is also currently in the West Tokyo area, catching up with the three famous schools, and can vaguely rank on the existence of the fourth strongest school team, plus the spring competition, the two teams are still old enemies, and the audience has ample reason to believe that this game is definitely the most fierce and exciting game in the quarterfinals.
Similarly, in the East Tokyo area, Kurodokan High School and Kasugaichi High School were originally only a team that was only one step behind Teto High School in the past, and now Kasugaichi High School has not weakened to the point where it was completely beaten by Seichi High School in the original book, and Kurotokan High School, even more because of the arrival of the genius ace pitcher of Caizen Zhixing, in a year's time, the comprehensive strength has skyrocketed, and the Kurotokan High School, which is not weak, is even closer to Teto High School this year, and is expected to win the regional victory of this year's East Tokyo Summer Competition.
A clash of these two veteran powerhouses.
It will definitely bring a gorgeous visual feast to the audience in Tokyo.
It's not that the other quarterfinals aren't exciting enough, but in comparison, the teams in these two quarterfinals are very close in strength, and they are both high-level universities.
The excitement of the encounter will definitely surpass that of the other quarterfinals.
The attention attracted will naturally become the two highest games.
And these spectators are looking forward to the arrival of the competition.
Friday, evening, Qingdao High School, Qingxinliao.
"Remember, from offense to defense, Xianquan High School embodies a stable character, if you want to break their defense, you must attack more strongly, to press them, so as to defeat them."
Simulation training for a week.
Let all the players of Qingdao High School have a basic outline cognition of the garrison of Xianquan High School, Xianquan High School is not only a team with a very solid garrison ability, especially in stability, it is really far beyond any team, including the three famous schools in West Tokyo, if you talk about the calmness of the garrison, compared with Xianquan High School, it is slightly inferior, this is not because of the gap in the ability of the players.
After all, if you have to say it, the average personal quality and ability of the players of Qingdao, Daoshi, and Sangao are definitely above Xianquan High School, and the reason why Xianquan High School's garrison can be as solid as a rock and more stable than Qingdao and other colleges and universities is that they never choose to take a risky defensive move.
Here's an example.
At the end of the game.
There are people in the scoring circle, and the strike zone is a strong batter, and the hitting ability is very strong, as long as it is not a full base, Xianquan High School will choose the escort tactic eight or ninety times out of ten, in the words of the Pelican Superintendent, since it can safely solve the next hitter, why do you have to fight against a high-risk hitter?
Rational use of tactics.
Valium reduces risk.
Get the necessary number of outs.
At the right time, make the most correct choice, this is the rational way of fighting, is the means with the highest probability of winning, the supervisor of the pelican is a supervisor who will never allow his players to mess around, yes, in the eyes of the superintendent of the pelican, after all, these players are just high school students, on the court, occasionally there will be adventurous, or impulsive, in that case, what is needed is the superintendent as the reins, to firmly control the players, want to win, even more so, in the game of high school students, Not only should you be good at seizing the gaps in your opponent's loopholes, but you also need to reduce your own mistakes, so that the probability of winning will be higher.
This is also the reason why the Ushio overseer is not used to Kataoka's over-trusting of the players, which is not recognized by the Uji, and is also the biggest reason why the Uji's superintendent thinks Kataoka is too young.
Therefore, the coaching style supervised by the Ushiji directly penetrated into the hearts of every player in Xianquan High School, resulting in their defense also becoming quite stable.
If Qingdao High School wants to break through such a barrier, it must continue to put pressure on Sensen High School as Superintendent Kataoka just said, and use a tough attack to break the garrison system of Sensen High School.
At the very least, a gap must be forcibly opened.
Seido High School has a chance of winning the game.
"Yes!!"
The Seido High School players are also well aware of this.
"In addition, it is important to remember that although Xianquan High School has always promoted the offense in a steady and steady way, it is not because of this that the opponent subjectively thinks that the opponent will not choose a risky offensive method, the more so, the more vigilant we must be, especially the pitcher needs to pay more attention to this, is it clear?"
Superintendent Kataoka looked at the three people not far away, including Inoue Senpai, Shigerno Shin, and Tanba Senpa, with a calm expression, and said in a deep voice.
