Chapter 20: An Extraordinary Substitute

The overall score is 9:1!

At the beginning of the seventh game, this was the score difference between the two sides.

At this time, Superintendent Kataoka sent all the substitutes, including Wang Xi.

This large-scale substitution, which is inevitable, has caused quite a stir in Feilian University.

"Qingdao High School has been replaced!"

The people who eat melons looked at each other one by one, and then expressed their insights.

"The gap between the two sides is so big, Qingdao High School also wants to take this opportunity to train the new students, right?"

"That's right! can replace eight people in one go, isn't Qingdao High School afraid of being counterattacked? ”

"That's King Qingdao High School, even if it's their substitute player, it's not so easy to deal with, right?"

"This is not good, in some giant teams, there is a huge gap between the strength of the main force and the substitute, and it is not nothing."

"Why do we want so much? Don't you know if you pay attention to the game? ”

"This brother is right."

As melon-eating people, they don't know what the coaches of the two teams think.

If it is an official game, the coaches of at least two teams must also follow certain rules and bottom lines.

The audience can also guess something.

But it's hard to say about practice games.

It's all up to the two managers themselves.

If Superintendent Kataoka feels that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to train the newcomers, he will leave the game completely to the newcomers.

Even if they lose, their strategic purpose has been achieved.

Then anything happens on the pitch, it's not surprising.

Similarly, the supervision of Feilian University may have other plans.

After all, the next step is the Kanto Conference.

Unlike Qingdao, an old bird of the Kanto Convention, Feilian High School also had a history of participating in the Kanto Convention before, but that was more than 20 years ago.

In more than 20 years, they have not participated in a single Kanto Congress. After a long time, they should pay more attention to the Kanto Conference than Seido High School.

When you are in the Kanto region, you may also come across Seido High School.

Feilian University chose to avoid the edge at this time, and it is not impossible to do so.

So what happens in the final stages of the game?

It's really unpredictable.

If King Qingdao High School wholeheartedly wants to win, at this time, they shouldn't have changed so many substitutes anyway?

Kataoka's supervised move was as if a high-level chess player had made a move.

directly made the melon-eating crowd watching around dumbfounded.

They don't know exactly what Superintendent Kataoka is planning?

The players at Fei Lian High School also didn't know what Kataoka was thinking, and they didn't know what Seido High School was going to do.

However, there is a big difference between them and the people who eat melons, and now they are full of righteous indignation.

If the flame burning in their eyes could be turned into substance. I'm afraid that Superintendent Kataoka has long been burned by them, and there are no ashes left.

"Do you look down on people?"

Although the results of their current game are quite embarrassing, they still recognize their strength and performance.

Sometimes a baseball game is like that, when it's a good performance, but the situation on the court has changed dramatically.

But this does not mean that they have conceded defeat, nor does it mean that they do not have the strength. Especially in the final stages, their ace pitcher also showed unyielding fighting spirit and superb ball skills.

It is said that Qingdao High School should be quite cautious, and it should not act rashly at this time in any case.

But Kataoka still resolutely sent eight substitutes.

This is a typical contempt for people.

Could it be that they can only play against the substitutes of Qingdao High School?

You know, they're not a fish belly team, they're the runners-up in Kanagawa before!

As the runner-up of Kanagawa in the fierce battle zone, how could they accept such humiliation?

Therefore, the eyes of Feilian's friends are fiercer than the other.

It feels like I can't wait to eat the players of Qingdao High School alive.

"You don't have to put on such a vicious face, it's useless for the game."

On the contrary, it was their ace pitcher, Xiancao, who was unusually calm at this time.

He first calmed his manic teammates, and then said what he was going to do.

"If you are really unhappy, you can prove it to these guys at Qingdao High School with practical actions. Let them see the strength of our Feilian. ”

's own aces have said such things, how can the players of Feilian University not work hard?

Their eyes became cold and composed.

The first half of the seventh inning began.

Wang Xi, who walked up to the pitcher's hill, recalled in his mind what Inspector Kataoka had told him before.

"This team is at the national level! Although in the national level of the team, it can only be regarded as a downstream team. But they are a team at the national level. Since Qingdao High School, the least number of opponents he has encountered have been at this level. ”

Wang Xi is a smart man. Even if Superintendent Kataoka didn't tell him thoroughly, he understood what Superintendent Kataoka meant.

The meaning is very simple and straightforward.

His performance in today's race will directly determine his place in the Summer Tournament.

If he doesn't even have the ability to challenge the lowest level opponents in the country, it will be difficult for Kataoka and the coaching staff to treat Wang Xi as a summer fighter.

Even if he was lucky enough to be left in the first army.

That's just for the sake of training new people.

"Another test!"

Since joining the Seongdo High School baseball team.

Wang Xi: They are always accepting challenges.

Supervisor Kataoka is a coach who trusts practice and actual results very much. He will only give extra points to his fighters if he has a good performance in practice and weekday competitions.

Only the players who add points in his heart can be sent to the court by him.

In the previous tests, Wang Xi sometimes performed well, and sometimes performed averagely.

Throughout those tests, Superintendent Kataoka has recognized his strength.

You can officially play at Seido High School.

Strength alone is not enough.

Players must also be able to give full play to their strengths.

And this is what Wang Xi is going to do now.

Superintendent Kataoka trusts the strength of his disciples very much. Even if he comes on as a full substitute, he doesn't think Fei Lian University can reverse it.

Although Fei Lian High School is difficult to reverse, in the next game, they are bound to attack wildly.

What kind of strength can Wang Xi show in such a situation?

This can really prove that he has the qualifications to play in the first army?

"It's a crisis!"

For Wang Xi, who is already in the first army and is gradually taking root. This test was certainly a crisis for him.

If he doesn't do well in the exam, his status in Kataoka's heart will plummet.

But again, if you do well. This crisis is also likely to turn into an opportunity.

The pitcher formation of the Qingdao High School baseball club. Eijun Sawamura is the undoubted trump card.

Akira is the main substitute.

Kawakami is a relay.

Only Wang Xi's position is more embarrassing.

Although Director Kataoka took him very seriously, he had him pitch in many games.

But until now, he has not found his place. Kataoka's supervisor and coaching staff didn't mention it either.

Obviously, in their minds, the current Wang Xi is not a core member of the pitcher lineup.

But if Wang Xi can have a good enough performance in today's game. Then everything is different......

I think he should be able to find a spot in the pitcher lineup of the baseball club of Seido High School.

A position that suits him.

As Superintendent Kataoka said, the opponent in front of him is the lowest-level opponent that Seido High School needs to face. Only against such an opponent can you have a good performance.

Only then was he able to find a suitable position in the ranks of the First Army.

Wang Xi's fighting spirit is very high.

He was never afraid of a challenge, because he was the last winner of all the challenges he had faced before.

"Whoosh!"

Small white balls shoot into the trapper's gloves.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!!"

In the strike zone, the beaters of Feilian High School narrowed their eyes.

When Seido High School was replaced by a first-year substitute.

They were very upset.

They think that the overseer of Qingdao High School is looking down on them.

But when he really fought, he found that even the substitute of Qingdao High School was not easy to deal with at all.

Just like the first-year freshman in front of him, his pitching is very sharp.

In the rest area of Fei Lian High School.

"That guy looks familiar!"

There is a player who looks at Wang Xi more and more as if he has seen it from somewhere.

The superintendent of Fei Lian University shook his head.

"It's not like we haven't looked for a great pitcher. It is said that this strength should at least have been heard. But I don't remember it at all......"

"I remember!"

The player who felt Wang Xi's eyes were familiar slapped his thigh excitedly.

He finally remembered who this guy was in front of him?

The friends around him all looked at him.

"This is Wang Xi, a pitcher from Treasure Island! I heard that he transferred to an island country, but I didn't expect to go to Qingdao! ”

World Champion Pitcher!

This name is still quite feared.

The contestants from Feilian University looked at each other.

Originally, I was holding back my strength to teach Qingdao High School a good lesson.

Only now did they find out that what they encountered didn't seem to be a weak chicken.

Instead, he kicked a small iron plate.

"It's really worthy of being a king, even the first-year freshmen are so strong?"

"Ping!"

Although Wang Xi's pitching quality is very high, it is not the type that people can't hit.

The ball was hit anyway and hit out.

Fortunately, the garrison of Qingdao High School is very tight.

They made a nice stop and crossed to first base.

"Smack!"

"Out!!"

Although he won the number of outs safely, Wang Xi on the pitcher's mound was taken aback.

He seems to be underestimating the national level a little.

If he doesn't show his killer skills, he won't have much chance of winning against these opponents.

Realizing this, Wang Xi immediately opened fire.

In the end, with the help of his bullet ball, he won three outs beautifully.

There is also a strikeout among them.

It's a big face for the substitute of Qingdao High School.

In the rest area of Fei Lian High School.

The superintendent of Feilian University turned pale.

It's not much different from the dead.

In the practice match with King Seongdao High School, he wanted to see that there was nothing wrong with the weaknesses in his team.

But he never imagined that the gap between the two sides would be so wide.

In this case, let alone looking for your own weaknesses.

It's good that the players didn't lose confidence because of this.
