Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Strongest Lower Line (Second Update)
In a team, the gap between the strength of the upper and lower lines is generally very large.
To explain this, we have to start with the composition of the team. First of all, the first point is that the arrangement of the line must be those who can strike, defend, and give priority to those who can do both.
After such players are promoted, in order to strengthen the effect of the strike, some players with excellent striking strength and slightly weaker defensive ability will also be quickly promoted. Of course, this is on the premise that it does not affect the team's overall defensive strength.
These two players occupy the team's upper and middle line.
So who are the lower linemen?
Don't think that the person who plays the line is not important, on the contrary, in a team, the bottom line generally includes the team's ace pitcher.
In addition, there are some core players with super defensive ability, and at least players who focus on defense.
Compared with blows, their role is more of an auxiliary role.
To put it bluntly, they may not be the ones who hit the hardest outside of the mid-range hitters on the team.
The Qingdao High School baseball team is a super family of nearly 100 people. In such a big family, the gap between the top five fighters and the bottom five players is very large, not to mention that the bottom hitters may not be in the top ten.
For example, everyone has gone to school, and they are all knowledgeable people.
If you pay close attention, it is not difficult to find that there is a gap between the grades of students in a class.
First of all, the first broken ditch is the first place.
The difference between the animal that won the first place all the year round and the others must be frighteningly large. Even if you drag the second-place result out and compare it with the first-place score, the difference in scores is desperate. (Occasionally, there are two or three of these animals in the class at the same time, but they are so rare that they can be considered an echelon.) )
After the first place, the gap between the 2nd and 5th places is generally not so large. This is the second echelon of the three good students.
After that, 6 to 10 people!
Ten to twenty!
The rest of the midstream, and then there are a few sweet potato eggs.
This is how students rank in a class. If you pay close attention, you will find that between every fault, there is a huge watershed.
It's the same with baseball teams. In the case of third-year seniors, the first is of course the formation. After that, there are so many second echelons, and the rest are third echelons.
The same is true for the freshman Seido High School baseball team.
The first echelon is, of course, Sawamura Eijun, at most plus Miyuki Kazuya.
After that, Xiaominato, Uncle Kurachi, Baizhou is the second echelon. (But judging from the position assigned now, Maezono is also in this echelon, but his strength, except for Kataoka supervising himself, most of the others in Qingdao High School do not recognize.) )
Tojo, Kanemaru, Hitachi, and Aso naturally belong to the third echelon.
It's just that unlike in the past, in the past, Qingdao High School's lower line was arranged by ace pitchers and some players with defensive expertise, and the requirements for striking strength were not harsh. (The main thing is that there aren't that many good players.) )
This year, the baseball team of Seongdo High School has undergone a big change.
The lower line is used by the strongest fighters except for the core players. Not only this session, but also compared with the previous sessions, Qingdao High School's lower-position line strength has not been weakened, but has been enhanced to a certain extent.
When the strength is strong, the ambition will naturally be great.
In the second half of the seventh game, it was the turn of freshman Seido High School to attack.
Their fighting spirit is unprecedentedly strong.
"Sixth bat, right fielder, Hakushu."
In this game, except for a few people, most of the players did not have too bright performances.
Striking at the steady Hakushu is one of them.
For the first point, he himself is naturally unwilling. After walking into the strike zone, his eyes were staring at Koichiro Tanba on the pitcher's mound without blinking.
In the face of such a familiar opponent, the third-year shooting partners Tanba and Chris are also confident.
Hakushu's presence is not strong, but it does not mean that he is not strong. On the contrary, in the freshman Seido High School baseball team, Hakushu's overall strength can even rank in the top three.
Having been teammates before, Chris and Tamba certainly can't be ignorant of Hakushu's strength.
To put it bluntly, when dealing with Baizhou, they took out twelve points of energy.
The reason why Hakushu has not had a brilliant performance so far is not that he is really weak in the freshman Seido High School baseball team.
Mainly because the opponent was too jealous of his strength, he didn't give him a chance to perform at all.
This time it was the same, the shooting partners of the third-grade seniors quickly set a trap for him and let him get into it honestly.
The seniors are sincere and calculating the juniors, as long as there are no accidents, it is actually not difficult.
Seniors have witnessed you grow step by step, and they know even more about your strength than you do.
In this way, it is not easy to find your weaknesses.
Hakushu suffered such a loss and was out again.
As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.
"Seventh stick, stalwarts, Tojo."
Hakushu hit an infield rebound ball, and after being blocked, Tojo stepped into the strike zone.
Since voluntarily switching to an outfielder, Tojo has been promoted and reused by the team. Especially when the new team lacks attacking power, the main pitcher who has won the top four in the country before, four bats!
It's so important!
After changing careers to become an outfielder, Tojo was also unwilling in his heart. But everyone has their own path of choice, and this path is Tojo's own choice, even if he doesn't do it, he has to go on with a smile.
And he not only has to go on, but also well.
Holding the bat tightly in his hand, Tojo knew that this was a good opportunity for him.
In today's game, several second-year players, except for Miyuki, were almost dumb.
The third-grade seniors have watched the second-year seniors grow up step by step, and they naturally know their strengths and weaknesses well.
There's nothing to say about that.
But they're different, they're first-year players. As they grow up, the third-grade seniors are busy with summer tournaments and Koshien, who has time to take care of them?
"Therefore, the seniors are simply ignorant of our situation. On the contrary, we know more clearly about the information of the seniors. ”
That's the opportunity.
Tojo is a confidant and knows his opponent, and Senior Chris is a confidant who does not know the other.
The gap in intelligence may directly lead to the outcome of the game.
