In the process of wielding the bat in his hand, Takatsu's mind flashed the scene of his countless days and nights swinging the bat under the bridge hole.

King Seongdo High School.

Nowadays, as long as people mention Qingdao High School, there is no one who does not give a thumbs up. That's really awesome! It is not the same group of players who have dominated Koshien in a row.

From the previous summer to the spring Koshien that just ended, Seido High School changed two batches.

In the previous summer, Koshien, the main force of the Seido High School baseball team was still dominated by third-year players. The rest of the players can only serve as supporters, and even Eijun Sawamura, an ace pitcher, only plays support.

At that time, Seido High School was centered on blowing.

Although under the leadership of Sawamura, the big devil, the performance of the pitchers and guards is also quite good.

However, the strong attack power is still the signature of Seido High School.

By the time it was spring, the situation had changed dramatically. Qingdao High School's line can only be barely called good.

There is still a big gap between being truly excellent.

At this time, the garrison under the leadership of Sawamura Rongjun, the great demon king, suddenly emerged.

Seido High School became the strongest garrison team in the country.

Use this as a solid cornerstone, plus decent attack power.

In the spring competition, Qingdao High School won the championship again.

Such a performance directly made the media outside exclaim.

The time of Seido High School has come!

It's not one or two who say this, but all the baseball media in the country are maintaining this tone, expounding such facts.

Seido High School has a great reputation.

The players in the first army have all become the top stars in the country. Even the substitutes in the first army have a lot of fans.

But no one knew that in the school of Qingdao High School, there was another group of people who were working silently.

They were under the dark bridges, where the light could not shine.

silently waved the bat in his hand, swaying his youth.

At that time, they didn't see any future at all. They persevered in such confusion and kept trying.

Hopefully, one day, Kataoka's supervisors and coaching staff will be able to keep an eye on them.

Being able to see their efforts and promote them to the first army.

Now, as a representative of the slaughter from this team.

Takatsu thinks it is very necessary for him to prove himself for those friends who have not been given the opportunity.

We can!

We can represent Seido High School in the competition.

We are the truly strong cornerstone of Qingdao High School.

Takatsu's true strength may not be stronger than Kanemaru and Tojo.

Everyone is a star player in the same period, and those two were promoted to the first army earlier than Gao Jin.

Even if their current strength and talent are not stronger than Takatsu, they will not be much worse.

But there is one point, compared to Takatsu, the two are definitely not opponents.

That's fighting spirit!

Gao Jin's fighting spirit was at least twice as strong as the two of them.

His ambition has been completely integrated into his bones.

In this case, he will never let go of any opportunity to perform.

It's as if right now, Takatsu knows a truth very well.

With his current status, if he wants to stay in the first army, he must perform better than the players in the original first army in order for him to succeed.

Otherwise, if everyone's performance is half a catty, why did the coaching staff of Qingdao High School choose him instead of the players from the original army?

Isn't that the coaching staff sick?

After all, the players of the original first army, combined with other players of the first army, must be much stronger than these newly promoted.

There's no reason for the coaching staff to bring in new players who have already shown their skills in regional competitions and Koshien competitions.

So Takatsu wants to stay, only stronger.

It's better than the players in the first army now.

Only in this way can he stay!

Hit it out!!

This firm belief has allowed Takatsu to show extraordinary strength.

The little white ball was punched out by him.

"Ping!"

The bat didn't hit the center of the ball, but Takatsu's swing speed was too fast.

Even if he didn't hit the center of the ball, the ball flew out. And the speed of flying out was quite fast, so that the wild hands of Feilian University had no time to react at all.

All they could do was watch the little white ball fly out.

"Safety!!"

Hakushu took this opportunity to cross third base in one go and return to home plate, helping Seido High School score additional points.

Takatsu also relied on this clean hit and ran to second base in one go.

The situation became one out, and there was someone on second base.

The score of the two sides also reached an unprecedented 9:1!

In the second half of the sixth inning, Seido High School has scored a full six points so far.

Feilian University, which was evenly matched with them before, was completely defeated at this time.

Fairy grass on the pitcher's mound!

There was an unprecedented look of embarrassment on his face.

Since birth, he has been a winner in life.

It's never been more embarrassing.

Not an opponent at all!

These players from Qingdao High School on the other side made him recall very bad memories in his mind.

It was the final against the Kanagawa champion.

In that game, Xiancao saw what it means to have people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky.

Originally, he thought that there was only one monster concentration camp like that, Kanagawa.

I didn't expect that there was another team in this country that was almost exactly the same as that team.

King Seongdo High School.

"Am I too weak, or is the world changing too fast?"

A deep sense of powerlessness filled Xiancao's heart.

No!!!!!

A huge voice in his heart kept echoing in his head.

That's a quote from Slam Dunk Coach Anthy.

It's also his favorite quote.

"There were two moments that decided the end of the match, one was when the whistle blew and the other was when the contestants gave up their resistance!!"

Now that the game is not over, how can I cowardly give up the game.

He is the heir to the Flame Boy name.

His favorite anime character is Mitsui Shou in Slam Dunk. Although there are many people who say that his image is more like Xiandao.

But Xiancao Zhi, he has never recognized this statement.

He prefers Mitsui's character.

I like his courage more, and I like his never admit defeat.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, he raised his head again and threw the baseball in his hand.

"Ping!"

Tojo was a little overwhelmed.

He originally wanted to follow Inspector Kataoka's instructions and forcibly sweep the small white ball away.

But when he really hit it, he realized that he couldn't do it at all.

The opponent's pitching was much stronger than he had imagined. He's already used up all his energy just by touching the ball out.

There's no way to do it, play the ball well!

"Ping!"

The ball that was hit bounced high and ended up landing directly above the pitcher.

The fairy grass on the pitcher's mound raised the glove in his hand unhurriedly, and steadily took the ball into his glove.

"Smack!"

"Out !!"

The opponent who was about to collapse suddenly exploded.

This is not a good phenomenon for the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School.

"It's really infuriating!"

In the rest area of Qingdao High School, the friends are talking and talking.

Sawamura Eijun frowned slightly.

I don't know if it's because the passing years of Qingdao High School are unfavorable?

This has been happening more and more lately.

There are some teams that obviously have very big problems of their own, but once they play against Qingdao High School, they are immediately like a drug.

Perform in good spirits!

100% strength, 90% of the strength is less, many can play 100% or even 120%.

It's a rather speechless situation.

In this situation, the players of the Seido High School baseball club can barely support it.

Once it's time for the summer tournament, it's even the Koshien tournament.

If all the opponents are as strong as Qingdao High School, I am afraid it will be really difficult to get to the end just by relying on these people who are currently in the main army.

In this way, they have to rely on their strength.

Thinking about it, Sawamura Eijun set his eyes on the rest area.

Before the summer tournament, Seido High School was on the bench. Will it largely determine how far Qingdao High School will ultimately go?

Obviously, Superintendent Kataoka also thought of this.

So in the sixth game, the Seido High School offense ended without a score.

Superintendent Kataoka made a very decisive change.

Except for Takatsu, who had just been replaced, everyone else was replaced.

The casting partners were also replaced by Wang Xi and Ono.

If it was the main force of Qingdao High School before, then now this team is considered to be an all-substitute.

"How do you beat your opponent? The players who have been on the pitch before have demonstrated perfectly in front of your eyes. I don't ask you for anything else in the next game, the same style, the same rhythm, you do it again. What we need now are players who can go straight into the game after the main players have been replaced. If you don't have that ability, I won't keep you in the army. ”

Superintendent Kataoka, visibly aware of the crisis. Even the tone was much harsher than before.

Of course, he has the confidence to do so now.

The current Qingdao High School baseball team lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people.

There are a lot of excellent rising stars waiting for each position.

As long as someone here dares to drop the chain, Superintendent Kataoka can immediately promote someone from the bench.

If there is no suitable role in the bench, he can even find it from the second army.

After all, there are also many excellent players in the second army who are training.

This is naturally clear to these players who have just come on the court.

Especially the freshmen.

They were all staring intently.

Even so, it doesn't mean that everyone gets a chance to play

For example, another catcher is smoked by wells.

With only three games left in the final game, he may not have a chance to play.

Superintendent Kataoka did not snub him either.

In a few months, Ono and Yukiichi will also retire.

At that time, Yui Xun is the person who is most likely to become the main catcher of Seido High School.

In this case, it is naturally impossible for Kataoka to be cold and fumigated.

"Don't be discouraged, I'll put you on the pitch in the next game."

Yui Xun nodded very gratefully.

He didn't have much ambition on Okumura's part.

For example, he never thought that before Yukiichi retired, he would pull Yukiichi from the position of the main catcher.

It is precisely because he is in the same team that he knows better the strength of senior Yukikazuya.

Yukiichi is also known as the best candidate for the first catcher in high school in this era.

His strength is also genuine.

At least Yui Xun didn't think that he would be able to surpass Senior Miyuki in just a few months.

He had never thought of it that way.

Being able to watch Koichi Mikoichi play on the court in the lounge area was also a great way to learn.

Now the task left to him by Ifumi is how to perfectly relay his position after Yukiichi Miyuya leaves the team.

Not only must you be familiar with the current offensive system and defense system of Qingdao High School.

At the same time, he also has to find a way to catch the pitches of Senior Sawamura and Senior Akira Tsukitani.

If you can't even catch the pitches of these two seniors by then, everything else will be nonsense.

So Yui smoke has a lot to do.

Of course it's good to be able to play and gain experience.

When he couldn't play, he was also actively preparing.

It is because of this good mentality that he was able to become the captain of the national team.

Otherwise, if he relies on his skills alone, he can't compete with his old partner.

Igarashi!

The guy who is called the Great Samurai is no worse than Wang Xi's monster!

Wang Xi can win them in the end.

There is also a lot of luck involved......
