Chapter 1099: Pre-Game Atmosphere
A summer tournament in full swing.
On the occasion of mid-August.
Seido High School welcomed its team's third-round opponent, Dongxiu High School.
August 14th.
Afternoon.
This summer's Koshien Tournament, the third round, the third confrontation of the day.
Against both sides.
It is Seido High School and Dongxiu High School.
Because it's basically a game that doesn't have many surprises.
The audience in the stands of Koshien today is obviously much smaller than the previous two games, and the attendance rate is only just over sixty percent, and the atmosphere in the stands is not as tense as the previous two games, unlike Yu Rong and Sagara, the deterrent power brought by the traditional famous family, and the comprehensive strength of Dongxiu High School, there are really few people who think that it can threaten Qingdao High School.
As mentioned earlier, almost 99% of the audience thought that this game was 10 open.
At most, there are so few people who will reluctantly judge Dongxiu High School for the sake of the miracle of sports competition.
In fact, even these people think that today's confrontation is 100% one-sided.
After all, the ratio of ten to ninety.
It really doesn't make a difference.
So!
On the pitch, before the official start of the game, the starting lists of the two teams appeared on the wide electronic scoreboard behind them.
Qingdao High School still arranged for Gu Xiao's choice to start, in this time, it was recognized and understood by most of the audience, without causing the slightest wave, in their opinion, in the case of too big a difference in strength, Qingdao High School really has no need to let its own team's ace pitcher appear, and it is a matter of course to arrange for Gu Xiao, a highly talented first-year pitcher, to start again, not to train newcomers in such a game, and give more opportunities for future aces to sharpen, then when will it be.
On the other hand, Dongxiu High School took the lead in Xiao.
I didn't feel that my team was underestimated, and I didn't have any anger.
As long as you've watched the game between Qingdao High School and Yurong High School.
It's all very clear.
Even if Xiaoya Xiao's hao speedball is still very immature, it is very unstable.
It's not something that ordinary hitters can deal with.
And the most important thing is that the strength of Dongxiu High School's line can only be regarded as a middle and lower level in the country, at least, the head coach of Dongxiu High School, Supervisor Takagi, doesn't think that his team's line can easily attack Gu Xiao, that can suppress Yu Rong's line to suppress a round of pitchers who have not lost points.
First base side, first attack, Dongxiu High School.
Third base side, back offense, Qingdao High School.
"Although Dongxiu's playing line is not very strong, but each of them has excellent hitting skills, especially good at unloading and striking, this is a very good opportunity for you to sharpen your strength, how to make full use of your own ball power advantage to suppress the hitter, is today's theme, in today's pitching moment, every ball must pay attention to this, remember?"
On the third base side, in the Qingdao bench.
With the help of Miyuki, senior Chris wore catcher armor, looked at Xiaoya who was standing in front of him with a soft expression, and said softly.
"Yes, Chris-senpai."
He pressed the brim of his hat, nodded, and replied.
"Well, no problem, your pitch can suppress the opposing side."
Senior Chris gently patted the shoulder of the valley and said softly.
"The premise, you kid should follow the guidance of Chris's seniors and don't mess around."
After helping Chris put on the protective gear, Miyuki, who stood up, looked at the valley with a wicked smile and said meaningfully.
"Don't get blasted out like you did in the last game."
"Huh? was blasted out last time, wasn't it the responsibility of Yuyu's seniors? ”
Who is the best person to deal with a black belly?
That's undoubtedly a natural stay.
After Miyuki's words fell, Shibuyani tilted his head and looked at Miyuki's words with a puzzled expression.
made Miyuki's face stagnate.
"Huh?"
"Didn't Shigerun-senpai say that? If you partner with the seniors of Miyuki, being blasted out is a problem with the balls of the seniors of Miyuki. ”
Shibuyani looked at Miyuki in front of him with a very serious expression, and the words that came out made the corners of Miyuki's mouth twitch a few times.
What is partnering with me and being blasted out is my ball problem.
"Hahaha, this is really like what Ashin would say."
Kurachi, who had just walked to the side, heard this and immediately burst out laughing.
On the other side, Tanba's senior, who also happened to hear this, also nodded, showing a thoughtful look.
"Well, this sentence does make a lot of sense."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Yuyuki, who has always been black-bellied, has a rare black face at this moment, which is the same as the bottom of the pot.
"Ashin! What kind of thoughts have you instilled with your junior! ”
Miyuki looked at Shigerun, who was warming up not far away and talking to Kusunoki seniors, and Miyuki's face was full of resentment.
And Shigerun, who seemed to notice Miyuki's gaze, also turned sideways slightly, turned his head, and looked at Miyuki's expression as if someone else owed him five million, Shigeru Ye also tilted his head, revealing a look of confusion.
And that's exactly what it is.
Miyuki's resentful expression became more and more intense.
Senior Chris on the side couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and couldn't help but shake his head gently.
It's really a very "tacit" combination of casting and catching no matter where it is.
The atmosphere in the entire Qingdao bench suddenly became more relaxed.
Compared with Qingdao High School, the breeze is light.
On the first base, Dongxiu High School, the overall atmosphere is even more tense and solemn.
Every year in the summer or spring, if there is a fight, the best results, basically stop in the third round, the top 16 here, never break through to the top eight or more, finally this year is the strongest attitude, defeat the old opponents in their own region, advance to the summer competition, Dongxiu High School is holding back a momentum, this time must refresh their previous results, enter the finals, win the winner or something, I think that I have indeed thought, no dream of a teenager, can not stand on the stage of Koshien, It's just that these teenagers in Dongxiu High School are still relatively sensible.
I know very well the strength of my own team, and the possibility of wanting to win the championship is almost 0, unless all the way is a soft persimmon to enter, and then the opposite side is full of strong collisions, in the finals, my own team encounters a team that is almost disabled, at least semi-disabled top powerhouses, and their own team has the probability of winning the championship.
Rather than expecting this possibility, it is better to focus on more realistic goals.
That's the third round of breakthroughs! Reach the quarterfinals! Then let's see if we can fight for the Final Four!
This is the goal of Dongxiu High School, from the supervisors to the players, who believe that they are most likely to achieve with their own team.
It's just that the goddess of fate just likes to joke like this with Dongxiu High School.
After the draw for the first leg came out.
It is clear that no matter how successfully your team advances, you must meet Qingdao High School (top giants such as Sagara High School and Yurong High School) in the third round, and there is a more than seventy percent probability of encountering Qingdao High School. )
