Chapter 44: Foreseeable Results (Part 4)
"Ah, it's a pity... Qingdao. β
"Yes, yes, the line is already very powerful, but the on-the-spot command of the Supervisor of the Uboko is really good, and the damage is kept to a minimum."
"The ace's Inoue lost four points, and the relay Tanbo lost three points, speaking of which, it's still not good to pitch the lineup."
"Seven to six, a difference of one point, in fact, it is reasonable, in addition to those six points, Qingdao High School also has two or three chances to continue to score, but unfortunately, the choice of the overseer of the Uji is still very decisive."
"If you should give up, you should give up, and if you should make a shot, you will never be ambiguous, and you are worthy of being an experienced coach."
"Compared to Inspector Uji, Inspector Kataoka is still a little too young."
"Speaking of which, why don't you go up to Shigerun-kun, I still want to see Shigerun-kun's pitching again."
"Hawkers,After all, it's only a first-year.,The last game was only a team like Qisen High School.,It's not the same level as Xianquan High School at all.,You know,Last autumn competition,Xianquan High School won Didong High School in the quarterfinals.,Entered the semi-finals.,And the city of the third high school fought until the last game.,Only to be hit by the three sticks of the city of the third high school to win the game and lose the game.,To be honest,I think the strength of Xianquan High School is not lost to those three universities."
"In this case, it is the most reasonable choice to make a safe choice and let the second-year Tanba play."
"That's what I said, alas...
In the third round of the spring tournament, Seido High School played against Sensen High School, in the second half of the seventh inning, after replacing Tanba on the court, Seido High School once reversed the situation, and in the eighth inning, Yuki seniors and Higashi Kiyokoku seniors hit consecutive hits, and Seido High School once again took back the dominance of the game.
With the lead, it was time for the ninth game to go into the confrontation.
Koichiro Tanba didn't seem to resist the pressure brought by the Senquan High School line, and was chased for three points in a row, and won the game directly.
Xianquan High School won the game by a narrow margin of one point.
Such a twist and turn can be called a somewhat dramatic game, and the audience in the stadium was amazed, and a small number of viewers even said that this year's Xianquan High School has a high probability of winning the championship and competing in the stage of the national competition.
The moment of cheering for Xianquan High School is also sighing for the old problems of Qingdao High School.
As a traditional famous Qingdao High School, in recent years, it has been repeatedly because of the lack of strength of the pitcher team, resulting in defeat at critical moments, in the face of a weak team, the problem of the pitcher team of Qingdao High School has not been reflected, replaced by a strong team, the weakness of the pitcher team of Qingdao High School has been exposed.
Even the Seonsen High School's playing line can't suppress the Qingdao pitcher formation.
In this year's competition, we have to face more terrible teams such as Daocheng Industry and the Third High School of the City University, and in the stands, those loyal fans of Qingdao High School, facing the current predicament of their own team, everyone has an extremely worried look on their faces.
Could it be that in this year's summer competition, they still want to be spectators?
Some of the more pessimistic fans couldn't help but have such a thought in their hearts.
At night, in the special cafeteria of Qingdao High School, Qingxinliao, and baseball club.
It's a match between Daytime and Senquan High School.
Qingdao High School held a review meeting.
Impatience in attack, mistakes and omissions in defense.
Superintendent Kataoka reprimanded every player who made a mistake very seriously at the meeting, but the first Inoue and the relay Tanba senior, Kataoka did not have the slightest words to express it, and it was precisely because there was no slightest rebuke that it made Inoue and Tanba both restless.
Disappointed.
When I think about it, if my own overseer has completely lost trust in me.
The two teenagers, the uneasiness in their hearts quickly spread, especially Tanba Koichiro, as the pitcher with the most unstable mentality in the original book, Tanba in the summer of the third grade may be better, and Tanba in the second grade, the introverted and shy personality aggravated his mental instability.
Especially in today's game, I was in the second half of the ninth inning, obviously leading by two points, and was chased for three points in a row, to be honest, at the moment of the end of the game.
Tanba's brain was completely blank.
Maybe he can comfort himself that this is just a spring tournament and he doesn't need to worry too much, but when he thinks about it, if he is in this state during the summer tournament, the team will be defeatedγγγγγ
Tanba shuddered.
The team's responsibility.
The trust of the overseer.
All of this seemed to be too heavy for Tanba, and during the entire meeting, Tanba only lowered his head after meeting Inspector Kataoka's cold gaze for the last time, and did not dare to raise it again.
Inoue seniors may not think so much about it compared to Tanba.
However, his performance did not meet the expectations of the superintendent, and he did not complete the requirements of the superintendent, at this point, the senior Inoue was also very clear in his heart, and he was mentally prepared to be scolded by the superintendent, but it was not until the end of the meeting.
Neither of the superintendents of Kataoka had such intentions.
It is precisely because of this that Inoue's seniors are also a little hesitant and very uneasy in their hearts at this moment.
It's just that these two seniors are obviously thinking too much.
Anyway, after all, it's just one game, and Superintendent Kataoka may be dissatisfied with the performance of the two pitchers Inoue and Tanba, but it is absolutely impossible to reach the point of disappointment and giving up, not so exaggerated, besides, there are only three pitchers in the first army of Qingdao High School, give up these two, and the next game will all rely on Shigeno Shin to pitch alone? Not to mention that Shigerino's strength, mentality, and run-in with the team have not reached the point where they should be, and even if they do, it is impossible to let Shigerino Shin contract all the games, otherwise, the summer competition has not yet ended, and Shigerino's right arm will have to be abolished first.
As for the other players in the third and second grades.
I really can't find a reliable pitcher, anyway, Tanba and Inoue are still good, and they can be regarded as capable pitchers at the national level (please note that they are only competent).
As long as they can overcome their own psychological or personality problems, then, as far as the future is concerned, it is still very impressive.
The reason why Superintendent Kataoka didn't say much at the meeting was that he didn't want to put too much pressure on the pitchers, and wanted the two of them to calm down and reflect on themselves.
That's all.
If it were for Superintendent Kataoka to know that his non-reprimand made the two pitchers think too much, it would probably be quite helpless.
"Above, after I go back, reflect on today's game and adjourn."
After Superintendent Kataoka gave some final words, he said in a deep voice to everyone present.
"Yes!!"
