Chapter Ninety-One: Extreme Challenge
Seido High School played in the Kasuga Ichigao game, and Superintendent Kataoka uncharacteristically sent a full bench lineup.
Originally, the audience thought that in today's game, Qingdao High School would definitely suffer a big loss. It is said in the book of war that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
Even if Kasuga Iphitaka's strength is not very strong, this is the Tokyo 1/4 finals after all.
Where are the weak ones in the team that can fight here?
But the progress of the game was very unexpected.
In this game, it was not the strong Kasuga Ichigao who held the point and took the advantage first, but Qingdao High School.
The first to launch the offensive was Wang Xi, and when the pitcher had not fully adapted to the rhythm of the game, he directly gave the opponent a dismount and won the second base long hit.
In the end, the substitutes of Seido High School did not waste this opportunity and won the score smoothly.
The score was 1:0.
Immediately after, when Kasuga Ichigo High School showed its strength and fought on a par with Seido High School. Another freshman formed a general, and as always, he implemented his own style of swinging the bat.
He scored a powerful home run and extended the score to 2:0.
By the time the game reached the fourth inning, Qingdao High School had already taken the full initiative.
Even if he came on as a substitute, he still beat the not weak Kasuga Ichigao to the point that he couldn't find the north.
The strength of Qingdao High School, in the eyes of everyone, suddenly became unfathomable.
Especially those other wealthy scouts who came to scout the intelligence of Qingdao High School.
At this time, they all had a constipated expression.
They felt like they couldn't go back.
The information that needed to be collected was not collected at all, but it was shown off by the substitute players of Seido High School.
"Damn, this is also the quarterfinals in Tokyo. A high spring is too vegetable. ”
"I can't say that, it is said that the 1/4 finals of Yakushi High School were even more sensational."
"Student baseball, that's what it is, once one side is taken away, it's not surprising that the situation is one-sided."
The observers were talking.
On the stands of the cheering side of Seido High School.
The players of the second and third armies sat there and acted as cheerleaders.
After watching the performance of the two newcomers, those senior players couldn't be convinced.
Not to mention the players who are still fighting in the second army, even the substitutes of the first army on the court are not as conspicuous as these two guys.
"I kind of understand why the overseer would promote them out of the ordinary."
One of them, a teenager with a hedgehog head, shook his head and sighed.
This kind of talent and strength gap makes him unconvinced.
"If we don't have the confidence to pull these guys off the field, we're never going to make it."
Next to the hedgehog-headed boy, a rather tough and handsome boy said.
This man's name is Hiroshi Takatsu.
When Sawamura Eijun and they first entered the school, they were also very famous newcomers. It's just that because his physique is too slender and he doesn't have a strong presence in the team, he hasn't been promoted.
Now I have been training in the team for a whole year, eating three bowls of rice.
The physique is finally stronger, and the overall sense of presence is beginning to be revealed. Now among the players in the Second Army, he is quite famous and has become the fourth player of the Second Army.
Aiming at the position of the first army.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many good seedlings of this year's newcomers, Minister Ota and Coach Ochiai might have recommended him to Superintendent Kataoka.
"Your words, no problem!"
The hedgehog-headed boy looked at Takatsu beside him and nodded very affirmatively.
Although everyone is working tirelessly, each other's strength is very clear.
These freshmen may have some chance to make the first team before they join the team.
With the entry of these powerful newcomers, their chances of making it to the First Army are already very slim. Of course, this is not to say that all people are hopeless.
For example, Takatsu in front of him, and Mimura senior in the third grade.
The striking strength of these two men is the third and fourth in the second army.
I'm afraid it's a lot better than those substitutes in the first army.
The two of them are also the only ones who have a chance to attack the first army.
"I'm not going to throw in the towel!"
Takatsu did not deny his friend's praise, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
On the other side, in the rest area of Seido High School. The words of this group of former main players who have suffered from bench treatment are becoming more and more difficult to hear.
"Can you do it? actually let the two elementary school brothers lead forward. ”
"If you are so spineless, it is better to change people!"
By this time, they had fully accepted Sawamura's theory.
Since there is no way, I sincerely send warm blessings. Then let them play the role of friends.
If you have anything to say, you can tell him directly about your friend's badness.
It's also a help to him.
The group of players sitting on the bench at Qingdao High School easily adjusted their mentality, and then angrily found fault with the players on the field.
"Shut up the people who didn't play!"
Others are embarrassed, but Aso has no worries about this. He was also the main player, and now he naturally wants to produce results.
"Ping!"
This guy not only has a big mouth, but also has a good fighting strength.
Although he couldn't hit the ball in the first round of the matchup, by the time of the second round of the matchup, he was able to catch the ball very accurately.
After the white ball was hit, it flew out in a perfect arc.
"Good!"
Aso roared inwardly and ran to first base without stopping.
In the rest area, Coach Ochiai touched the mustache on his chin and whispered.
"This player has a good sense of the ball and a lot of talent. The only thing missing is the desperate energy and mentality! If he can adjust these two items well in the last period, his strength will be very worth looking forward to. ”
As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at the front garden where he was sitting on the rest area.
If Aso can have half the hard work of Maezoen, his main position will not be so unstable......
If he could work as hard as Maezoen.
In fact, he has a chance to become the fifth baton of Qingdao High School.
It's a pity!
There are some things that the coach can help with, and there are some things, even if the coach helps, it won't have much effect.
How well do you train? After all, it is up to the players themselves to realize and adjust.
Although Aso managed to get to base, Seido High School didn't take advantage of it to score points.
Ono, who hit the sixth bat, hit the infield rebound ball.
His striking strength was not weak, but today it seems to have been curbed in some way.
I didn't play at my usual level.
"Ono, what the hell are you doing?"
"With the way you are now, how can you snatch the position of the main force from that stinky boy of Miyuki?"
Kura roared with a huff.
"When you talk about him, just say him, don't piggyback on me, okay?"
Yukiichi also had an innocent expression on his face.
He also had the same feeling as the previous golden pill, and he felt more wronged than Dou E.
Ono is not performing well, what does it have to do with him?
"Kasuga's ace pitcher, the change ball is very sharp, and he is more restrained by Ono."
There was also someone next to him who helped Ono explain.
It can be seen that his popularity in the team is still good.
Sawamura Eijun rolled his eyes secretly, but he didn't say anything.
Kasuga's ace pitcher, Kasuga, is more restrained by Ono, which is inevitable.
This is sometimes the relationship between pitcher and batter.
But in this Seido High School baseball team, Ono is not the only one who is restrained.
There is also the fourth baton now.
Shoji Yusei also hates changing balls and prefers to play straight balls. But even in the face of the change ball that he hated so much, he hit a home run.
That's what counts as a passing performance.
In this sense, Ono's previous performance was not qualified.
Of course, he was a backup catcher in the team. It is also the existence of the current Qingdao High School, second only to Miyuki in receiving the ball.
After all, Heze Village and Akira Valley have been honed for a long time. This experience is unmatched by several other freshmen.
In the short term, his position should not be threatened.
But in the summer, I'm afraid it's not necessarily the case.
"If you want to stay in the First Army, Ono needs to work harder."
Sawamura Eijun muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
Kominato Haruichi looked at Sawamura Eijun for some reason, obviously not hearing what Sawamura Eijun said clearly.
"It's nothing, I said gold always shines."
"Yes, I believe in Mr. Ono too."
Kominato Haruichi smiled brightly.
Front Garden, Ono ......
No matter how you treat others, for Kominato Haru, it's a meticulous care.
In the current First Army, except for Sawamura and Akira Tsukiya of the same age. Kominato Haruichi also has the best relationship with these two seniors.
As for the warehouse that cooperates with him most tacitly on the court, don't look at the two of them, who are known as the iron wall.
There is very little communication in private.
As a few people spoke, the progress of the game continued to speed up, and it was time for the fifth game.
The score between the two sides is still 2:0.
In the process, although Kawakami lost two hits, he never dropped points.
finally kept the unbreakable golden body of Qingdao High School.
His performance made the friends in the rest area of Qingdao High School very excited.
"Well done!"
"There's already a rack for ace pitchers."
"Let's get rid of the rotation substitute of Xiaoya Gu."
"It's time to show the fighting spirit of a third-grade ace pitcher."
There was everything in the rest area, and most of the spearheads were pointed at Tsuki Gu.
But there is no one, at this time to say let Kawakami replace Sawamura.
Ideals can be had, and dreams can be forgotten.
Superintendent Kataoka was also satisfied with the performance of the proud disciple, and nodded at him with great affirmation.
"Throw one more round, and when the sixth inning is over, you're out."
He didn't plan to let Kawakami finish the game, and the remaining three rounds were ready to give the newcomer a chance.
Originally, in yesterday's game, he planned to let Wang Xi play.
As a result, because Sawamura Eijun used too much force, the game ended early before he reached the ninth game.
In this case, Wang Xi naturally did not have the opportunity to get on the pitcher's hill.
Today's opportunity is good, Wang Xi can pitch on the court.
Kawakami has suppressed the opponent a lot, and after solving the upper hitter, he handed over the pitcher mound to Wang Xi.
"It should go well!"
After silently comforting himself in his heart, Superintendent Kataoka decided not to care about the affairs here.
The rest of the contest is entirely up to the players to decide, and he just needs to wait patiently for the victory to come.
In today's game, he originally wanted to make the substitutes feel the difference in strength and immediately replace the main players on the field.
Now, it seems, it doesn't have to be.
Even if you rely on the substitutes, it should be enough to defeat Kasuga Ichigaka.
As for the anxious mentality of the substitutes, it can be solved by waiting until the end of the spring tournament and through the red and white battle.
