Don't look at Sawamura's popularity in the entire Qingdao High School baseball club, and he can talk to any player.

But there are not many people who can really be regarded as friends by Sawamura Eijun.

Count on your fingers, and you can count ten.

Hunting ground is one of them.

Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Sawamura Eijun has a lot of bonds with the hunting field.

The friend suddenly became listless, and of course Sawamura Eijun wanted to ask.

It's just that the hunting ground is secretive, and Sawamura can't get everything he wants to know from him in person.

Sawamura can only find the answer on his own.

I asked a few of my partners in the Second Army, what is the general situation of the matter? Sawamura Eijun already has a spectrum.

Actually, it's not complicated at all, or is it because of the competition for position?

The extravagant hope of advancing to the first army, the hunting ground is actually gone for a long time, and he knows too well the strength of Yukikachi and Ono.

Although his own talent is also good, compared to those two guys, it is obviously not at the same level.

If you want to snatch the position of the main catcher from them, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

Hunting ground is self-aware, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to give the first grader back.

The two third-year seniors were the team's catchers, and he couldn't say anything.

But if the first-grade junior wants to cross him, the hunting ground will never agree.

A man wants a face, and a tree wants bark.

As a second-year senior, he couldn't accept this calmly anyway.

With such a heart, the strength of the hunting ground is naturally beyond doubt.

Even if he can't attack the previous army for the time being, it doesn't mean that his strength is inferior.

On the contrary, as a catcher, the hunting ground is quite good. Otherwise, there would be no way for Sakamura Eijun to practice with him on weekdays.

is such a logical thing, but because of the arrival of a new student, there has been a earth-shaking change.

This new student is naturally Okumura.

With an all-round crushing attitude, he stiffly compared the hunting ground, the main catcher of the second army.

There is a saying that people should be damned than people, and goods should be thrown away.

Of course, this is a very cruel thing for the hunting ground. But there's no way, that's the truth.

In the sport of athletic competition, weakness is itself the original sin. If you are weak and lose to others, don't get too angry. Because you can't solve any problems if you get angry.

"No wonder that guy looks listless!"

Sawamura Eijun finally knew the reason why the hunting field was not in a high mood.

He was also helpless about this matter.

I can only find a chance to talk to him and explain it.

But as far as Sawamura's own feelings are concerned, he shouldn't need a hunting ground. That guy is a very cheerful person in his bones, maybe he didn't look good at that time, and he couldn't get over it. I believe that after a while, he will turn this shame into a motivation for his own progress.

Having said that, Okumura's presence is really ubiquitous.

Sawamura Eijun, who used to be a partner, is of course very aware of Okumura's potential. It's just that he always thought that it would take a little time for that guy to really grow.

Now it seems that Okumura is growing up much faster than he imagined.

In fact, this matter is easy to understand, after all, there are so many excellent players in their year. After getting together, there must have been some chemistry between them.

Judging by the current results, it should be benign.

At the same time, in the office of Superintendent Kataoka.

After discussing the matter of Okumura and Hirota, Superintendent Kataoka asked the other players of the Second Army.

He knows exactly what kind of strength those players in the 23rd grade have. It can't be that just a few days after he left the team there was a change by leaps and bounds.

So the focus of his inquiry was on the freshmen.

"The other freshmen are working hard, too."

Coach Ochiai touched the mustache on his chin and stopped talking.

Superintendent Kataoka nodded at him.

Although Coach Ochiai didn't say it thoroughly, Supervisor Kataoka was already able to hear what he meant.

In other words, the performance of those guys is not so good.

This is not surprising.

The standard of the Second Army of Qingdao High School is still very high.

Don't look at those freshmen, they look particularly eye-catching when they are in the Third Army, and once they are in the Second Army, it is not easy to perform so well.

After all, what really competes in the game is the comprehensive strength of the players.

Those freshmen may be particularly good at a certain item, but if they are really used as combat power, they will definitely not be so dazzling.

Coach Ochiai looked at Kataoka's expression and knew that he had misunderstood.

However, he didn't explain much, but gestured to Minister Ota with his eyes.

It wasn't up to him to tell Superintendent Kataoka about the next incident.

Minister Ota rubbed his hands nervously.

Don't look at him as the nominal head of the baseball club, but every time he faces Kataoka's supervision, he can't help but feel a little timid.

Before leading the team to Koshien, Superintendent Kataoka dared to directly confront the principal and the director of education.

Now he dominates the country twice in a row.

Whether in name or in fact, it has become a well-deserved leader of the baseball club.

When Minister Ota faced him, he was a little afraid for some reason, and he was far less free and easy than Coach Ochiai.

"What's the matter?"

Superintendent Kataoka asked in a harmonious voice.

He actually understands Minister Ota's mentality.

The reason why Minister Ota feels underconfident is mainly because of their professional gap.

Of course, the most important thing in the baseball club of Seido High School is baseball.

As a coach, why was Ochiai able to talk to Kataoka Supervisor?

It's because people know baseball.

Coach Ochiai is available to advise and help Kataoka Supervisor professionally.

Although Minister Ota also knows some baseball, the little things he knows are becoming less and less visible now.

Gradually, it opened a big gap with the other three giants.

Superintendent Kataoka is also helpless about this.

It's all about the individual's mindset. As long as he can adjust himself and concentrate on the auxiliary work, everything else is not a problem.

"Yes, there is a player who has been promoted to the second army during this time!"

It came too suddenly.

Even if Superintendent Kataoka had been a little mentally prepared before, he still didn't expect it.

Which player to advance has always been superintendent by Kataoka.

Minister Ota and Coach Ochiai, although they also have the right to select players to enter the second army, they have never used it before.

Besides, even if you want to use it, do you have to say hello to him, the overseer?

Supervisor Kataoka's gaze suddenly deepened.

He looked at Coach Ochiai, and then at Minister Ota.

Coach Ochiai touched the mustache on his chin with a nonchalant expression.

Minister Ota rubbed his hands nervously, looking a little cramped.

In Kataoka's mind, countless thoughts flashed in an instant.

In the end, he chose to suppress the urge to explode.

If his authority is provoked, no one will feel good. Superintendent Kataoka is also an ordinary person, and of course he has a temper.

But he was able to restrain himself.

Whether it's Coach Ochiai or Minister Ota, they are not messing around, and they must have their reasons for doing this.

"Who?"

Control your emotions, Superintendent Kataoka asked directly.

At this time, Minister Ota relaxed.

When the matter was spoken, the pressure in his heart was gone.

"Matsumoto..."

Qingxinliao, dormitory No. 5.

"Boss, Boss!!!"

There was a knock at the door.

"The door is not closed, come in!"

Eitsu Sawamura is ready to pick up the bat and practice the strike.

Yu Yuichi was also entangled by Xiao Yuiya, and in a short period of time, I am afraid that there will be no way to practice changing the ball with him.

The door creaked open, and Matsumoto walked in with a smile on his face.

"Do you want to do the exercises with me?"

Sawamura raised the bat in his hand.

Matsumoto shook his head like a rattle, and he raised his hand, which he wore for catchers.

"You're probably still working on a new variation ball, and I can catch it for you."

Sawamura Eisun looked at the little brother in front of him cautiously, and the feeling was as if he had reacquainted with him.

When the orientation match was just over, Sawamura remembered it very clearly.

Matsumoto's face was depressed.

He has been assigned to the three armies, unless there is a special opportunity, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to enter the first army before the summer competition.

But now he has a sunny smile on his face.

There is no need to get to the bottom of it, Sawamura Rongchun can guess that this guy should have been promoted to the second army.

As for whether his little brother has such ability, Sawamura Eijun has never doubted it.

What intrigued him was, how exactly did this guy do it?

"How did you fool Coach Ochiai and Minister Ota? Minister Ota is relatively simple, and it's okay for you to fool him, but Coach Ochiai is as good as a monkey......"

In the face of his boss's merciless demolition, Rao is Matsumoto's little skin is quite thick-skinned, and he can't help but be a little embarrassed at this time.

"How can it be said to be a fool? I'm relying on my strength. ”

"Believe you, a ghost!"

Sawamura Eijun threw the bat in his hand aside without the slightest psychological burden.

Although he also likes to swing the bat, it is compared to pitching.

Swinging the stick is not as appealing.

"Your kid is so confident, how many grades are you going to take?"

Because of the old relationship with Sawamura Eijun, Matsumoto was the one who received the Sawamura Eimura ball during this time, and received the most.

Originally, he was able to catch the level 1 and level 2 change balls.

Level 3 change ball, he can also catch a seven, seven, eight, eight, and even if he can't catch it, he can barely stop the ball.

When it comes to catching the ball alone, he has the best performance among the three freshman catchers.

"Let's start with Carter's ball!"

Matsumoto looked scrappy.

Such a person suddenly gave Sawamura Eijun a delusion.

Perhaps after Yukikazu and they left the team, they were the closest to the main catcher position.

It's not Yui or Okumura as they originally thought.

But the little guy in front of him is not necessarily.

Seido High School Baseball Club, exclusive office of Kataoka Superintendent.

"Oh, that kid from Matsumoto, what have you been doing lately?"

Superintendent Kataoka is genuinely curious.

He had thought about many candidates, but he had never thought about Matsumoto.

To be honest, it's no wonder that Superintendent Kataoka is no wonder.

Aside from receiving the ball, Matsumoto's impression on Kataoka was too ordinary.

In the previous orientation match, Matsumoto could be said to have had no bright spots.

Kataoka couldn't imagine that he would be promoted to the first army anyway.

Even if he was able to bring out the full strength of the pitcher formation at Seido High School, Superintendent Kataoka was very hesitant to promote him.

Now Coach Ochiai and Minister Ota have recommended him in unison.

This seemed to Superintendent Kataoka to be incredible.

He really wanted to know what was going on in the middle of this, and what could make the attitude of these two change so much?

"After losing the orientation round, Matsumoto was particularly disappointed. Often alone in the corner, not saying a word. I couldn't bear to ask a few words, and then I encouraged them twice. ”

When Minister Ota talked about this, he was still a little confused.

Superintendent Kataoka's mind had already made up the picture.

"Did you promise him anything?"

Minister Ota had a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

"I just encourage him, the three armies also have a chance, aren't there still two practice matches?"

"And then what did he say?"

"Did he say that in those two practice games, he promised not to lose points, and he had a chance to advance to the second army?"

"And then?"

"I'll just say of course!"

There is no need to ask about the results, and if you think about those two practice games, that guy from Matsumoto must not have lost points.

But when he is playing and guiding, he obviously doesn't have any talent. Even if there are a few good pitchers in the team of the three armies now, how can he guarantee a clean sheet against the opponent?

Inspector Kataoka was puzzled by this.

"Is there a record of the game?"

"Yes!"

"Show it to me......"

There is a saying that a dog that bites people never barks.

Superintendent Kataoka suddenly realized that his boy, Matsumoto, was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
