Chapter 179: Ochiai's Prophecy! (2nd Update)
One person is out, one or three bases are available.
The next two hitters are those who have scored hits before, Ryosuke Kominato and Eijun Sawamura.
Qingdao High School has an unprecedented opportunity to score.
in the lounge area.
Supervisor Kataoka's nervous gasps can be clearly heard by Ochiai.
He should be pretty sure that at this time, if they can score another point or two. The balance of victory will be tilted in favor of Qingdao to a greater extent.
Koshien is just around the corner!
Ochiai glanced at Kataoka, and he thought that at this time, Kataoka would definitely give orders to the players on the field.
Unexpectedly, when Ryosuke Kominato looked back at the rest area, Kataoka didn't say anything.
This means that Ryosuke Kominato and Eijun Sawamura are free to play.
"As always, trust the players."
Ochiai sighed.
If it were him, at this time, he would definitely give a code.
The closer they are to their goals, the more likely they are to suffer from gains and losses, especially for a team like Seido.
In the finals, a king like Daocheng is very advantageous, and that kind of dark horse team, too, is very advantageous.
The reason why the king team has taken advantage is useless to say more, because they have a wealth of experience in the finals.
Don't underestimate the accumulation of experience, the closer you get to the goal, the easier it is for people to do something stupid.
Experienced players tend to be very calm at this time.
Calmness is a very rare thing.
This is the reason why in some regions, the king's team often dominates for several years in a row.
It is an important condition for its own strength to be excellent, but the team's experience in winning the championship is also a factor that should not be underestimated.
Another one, the dark horse team.
The dark horse team generally doesn't think about it so much, it's just a brainstorm.
For them, any victory is a breakthrough and a new history!
This way they will be less stressed.
What I'm most afraid of is a giant team like Qingdao High School, which can't go up or down, and I don't have the experience to win the championship.
has the strength to enter Koshien, and has always aimed to dominate the country.
Such a team certainly does not treat a simple victory as everything like ordinary dark horse teams.
They tend to think a lot.
However, I have no experience in facing the finals and adjusting my mental state.
At such times, it is easy for players to have problems.
After all, at the end of the day, they're just teenagers......
If Ochiai leads such a team, when it comes to such a critical time, he will treat the players as pawns.
The player's role is to complete his instructions.
This makes it not easy for players to think too much.
Unfortunately, Superintendent Kataoka did not intend to do this, and he fully trusted his disciples.
He believed that his disciples would definitely come up with results.
Ryosuke Kominato!
Eijun Sawamura!
And in the rest area, Tetsuya Yuuki is wearing batting gloves and preparing to play.
Looking at these players, Ochiai has to be amazed!
Superintendent Kataoka's self-confidence is not entirely blind.
In his hand, he is indeed holding a good handful of cards. Even Ochiai himself didn't think that the next three beaters would drop the chain at a critical moment.
"You really trust them!"
Watching Ryosuke Kominato's stern battle against Cheng Gongming.
Ochiai said softly.
It wasn't loud, but Superintendent Kataoka's ears were sharp. He heard Ochiai's muttering, turned his head and looked at Ochiai seriously.
"The future of the players is up to them. With these three guys on the field, even if it's the others, they won't say anything. ”
Ryosuke Kominato, Eijun Sawamura, and Tetsuya Yusei.
These three people can definitely represent the highest level of Qingdao High School.
3rd Grade, 2nd Grade, and 1st Grade......
The baseball club of Qingdao High School, the hope of more than 100 people, is completely pinned on them.
Superintendent Kataoka believes that there is nothing wrong with this.
Ochiai's eyes widened, and his hand, touching the mustache on his chin, looked at Kataoka in a daze.
It turns out that Kataoka doesn't know what he should do now?
It's that he believes more in the ability of the players.
And Kataoka should think that his disciples will definitely not lose to Narumiya.
"What an enviable master-apprentice relationship!"
Kataoka's resolute attitude made Ochiai involuntarily think of everything he was in Kanagawa!
When he was a coach, he thought he was definitely doing his best for the players under him.
Although the relationship between the two parties is mutually beneficial, Ochiai has no reservations as a mentor.
He gave the most correct guidance to the players he liked.
Strangely, after these players graduated, almost no one came to see him at school.
At the time, colleagues said he was unsociable.
Ochiai also takes it for granted that this is the reason for his own character.
Until I came to Qingdao and met Kataoka.
Ochiai has a different feeling.
In terms of personality, he should be much more kind than Kataoka, right? The guidance is softer than Kataoka......
From the point of view of Ochi's own standards, although Kataoka Supervisor is a good instructor, he should not be liked and loved by the players too much.
But the reality is often very slap in the face, Kataoka is not only deeply loved by his own players, but even players who have graduated and become famous, often come back to visit him.
It's like the professional baseball draft, and several of the previous ones were drawn to Dongqingguo.
Before this final, he even pulled a cart full of condolences to visit his supervisor and junior brother.
In Ochiai's view, this is very incredible.
At that time, he thought, I don't know what kind of magic Seido High School and Kataoka Superintendent have?
Now, he could vaguely feel a little bit of it.
His so-called dedication is not actually dedicated, just trying his best.
Teaching players to play baseball is just one of his jobs.
Come to think of it, the players played baseball with him probably with a similar purpose.
Joined a wealthy high school, entered Koshien, and entered professional baseball.
High school, for them, is just a springboard.
When these players in the baseball club of Seido High School first joined the team, few of them had a strong sense of identity with Seido High School.
I'm afraid that what they wanted at that time was also to break into Koshien, and then become famous, and take the opportunity to enter professional baseball.
It's just that later, these things have slowly changed.
Under the careful guidance of Superintendent Kataoka, under the considerate care of Seido High School, and under the warm care of the seniors......
They are no longer the individuals they were before they entered Qingdao High School.
Instead, he became a contestant of Seido High School!
"This game should be won, right?"
Instead, he became a part of Seido High School.
Even Eijun Sawamura, this super genius!
His sense of identity with Qingdao High School is very high.
"Maybe it's a blessing for me to be able to teach at Qingdao High School."
Ochiai looked at the strike zone in a daze, and Ryosuke Kominato, who was ready to strike, thought.
