Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Eve of the Decisive Battle
In the battle between Didong University and Pharmacist High School, Pharmacist High School finally won the battle with a score of 5:3 against Didong High School.
This time, the fans of Nishitokyo went crazy all over.
You must know that at this stage, Yakushi High School in Nishitokyo is not one of the best teams, the top two are Seido High School and Inagi Industrial High School, and Yakushi High School is ranked third at most.
But even the third-ranked Yakushi High School in West Tokyo has taken down the King of East Tokyo Imperial High School.
How strong is Nishitokyo?
It's all unknown......
In other grouping areas, if there are many strong teams, it is at most called a fierce battle zone.
Like Nishitokyo, which is so strong, it's like a death zone.
It will be like a meat grinder, crushing the dreams of countless big teams......
As a fan of Nishitokyo, it's a great feeling of accomplishment.
What's so great about giving birth to a king?
The strength of Nishitokyo is to drag their second- and third-place teams out and still hang everything.
Fans have satisfied their vanity, and their support for Yakushi High has continued unabated.
On the other side, the friends of Seido High School, under the leadership of their supervisor Kataoka, left the court.
For today's game, they are deeply touched one by one.
Both of these teams are very strong, and they are very different from the opponents that Seido High School has faced in the past!
Although the three high schools of the city university are also very strong, it is unfortunate that their strong place is also the strong place of Qingdao high school.
Although it is only a line stronger, but the continuous accumulation has directly caused the previous crushing situation.
But these two teams are different, they are both surpassing Qingdao High School in one way.
The garrison of Didong University is also second to none in the country.
The violent attack power of Yakushi High School is even more speechless.
In this case, it is really not easy for Qingdao High School to defeat them.
Especially Thunder City!
In today's game, the reason why Pharmacist High School was able to reverse and succeed in the end. And after the reversal, the situation was held.
The biggest hero is Thunder City.
Of the five points scored by Pharmacist High School, four points were related to him, and even three points were scored directly by him.
In his direct conversation with Mukai Sun, he even abused Mukai Sun to the point of incompleteness......
The strength is so strong that it is difficult not to look sideways.
The showdown between this monster and Sawamura Eijun, even the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are looking forward to it.
Taken together, there is no doubt that Pharmacist High School is a strong opponent.
Silent all the way back to school.
"Meet in the conference room after dinner!"
After Superintendent Kataoka gave the order, he left with a few members of the coaching staff.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team went to take a shower first, and then went directly to the baseball club's battle conference room after eating.
By the time Sawamura Eijun arrived at the conference room, the people in the conference room had already arrived.
"It's all your fault boy, we're late again!"
Kuramori, who eats the last to eat, has to buy a bottle of drink after eating.
Sawamura Eijun was forced to accompany him, and he was framed as soon as he arrived at the conference room at this time.
Sawamura Eijun glared at Kuramochi viciously with his white eyes!
If you can beat him, you must let him know why Peach Blossom is so red!
Superintendent Kataoka's sharp gaze swept over, and both of them quickly lowered their heads.
In the end, Superintendent Kataoka didn't say a word, and the two of them went to their seats as if they had been pardoned.
They are all old fritters in the team, as long as Inspector Kataoka didn't look for trouble at the time, there would be nothing wrong after that.
"Alright, let's start the meeting now and make a summary of the last game!"
Inspector Kataoka sat down after giving his order, and in a seat next to him, a young man stood up.
This person is naturally the current big ginseng of the Seido High School baseball club, Mr. Watanabe!
Watanabe took the lead in walking in front of the projector, and then analyzed it for everyone one by one, today's game against the city's top three high.
"Everyone played really well in today's game! The most important thing is that Sawamura-san held the situation and kept us from dropping points. This invisibly put a lot of pressure on the opponent and gave our line a chance to explode ......"
Watanabe said this, not to pat Sawamura Eijun's ass, but to explain the facts.
In the competition with the three high schools of the city university, the players played really well. The game can be ended early by seven rounds, which is not a dish for the third high school of the city university. The main reason is that the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School played so well today.
"Of course, there is also a problem here, that is, the other party has not avoided the duel with our beater. If we had changed to a different type of pitcher, it would have been difficult for us to score so many points in today's game. ”
In today's game, hits were mainly focused on Eijun Sawamura and Kazuya Miyuki.
If you change your opponent, you don't take the initiative to choose to fight these two people.
The result could have been different.
After talking about Qingdao High School's own competition, a small reflection meeting was held for a few players who still had insufficient performance.
The next thing to talk about is the focus of today's meeting.
The opponent of the Seido High School finals, Yakushi High School!
"Originally, as long as you reach the finals of the spring tournament, you will be eligible to participate directly in the Kanto Conference, so the two teams that make it to the finals generally don't fight too hard......
Watanabe first described the contest and the situation of each year in the past.
Of course, this is all foreshadowing, and the main point is still to come.
"But!"
I'm afraid of everything, but it means that there will definitely be a reversal.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team naturally know such routines. So when I heard Watanabe shout two words, I wasn't surprised at all.
"The meaning of this year's Spring Contest finals has changed!"
The two teams in the finals are Seido High School, which has hosted Koshien in summer and Koshien in spring.
If they meet another big team in the final, that big team will definitely choose to back down, because that's the way it is in the final. The winning team in the final is the stronger team at this stage.
If there is no such convention, everyone is a young player with strong blood, who is afraid of whom?
Surely I don't want to supervise the imagination and fight so peacefully.
But now it's different, with the so-called conventional constraints. The weaker side will take the initiative to back down......
But this does not include dark horse teams like Pharmacist High School.
The so-called dark horse team rose suddenly, and the previous history must have no background and achievements.
When such a team sees a low-hanging title, will they take the initiative to retreat?
It's hard, I'm afraid.
But I can't say for sure.
After all, compared to the upcoming Kanto Conference, the champion of the spring tournament is really a bit of a chicken rib. At this time, exposing one's strength too early, so that he could not go too far in the Kanto Conference, is not a good choice for the team.
Such a thing is put on the bright side, and no one knows exactly how the other party will choose.
It's not impossible to guess.
Generally, according to the character of the other party's main supervisor, the other party's choice can be roughly guessed.
It's a pity that it's just for ordinary overseers, and the subject has changed to Thunder Hide from Medicine Master High School, so it's unknown how he will choose.
"Those guys at Yakushi High School are like a bunch of psychopaths, who knows what they think?"
Kuramochi complained dissatisfiedly.
Compared to the group of guys who don't play cards according to common sense at Yakushi High School, Kuramochi is more willing to meet Didong in the finals.
Although the strength of Didong High School is also very strong, the other party's routine Qingdao High School is at least familiar with it, unlike the people in Pharmacist High School who can't touch the other party's pulse at all.
After analyzing all this, Watanabe honestly sat down in the rest chair.
Tomorrow is the final, so you have to decide the starting line-up and tactics for tomorrow.
Of course, these are the responsibilities of Kataoka's supervisors and coaching staff, and they have nothing to do with him.
Superintendent Kataoka still looked at his disciples, and it took a few minutes before he spoke.
"Whether it's the player who gets the main back number or the player who comes off the bench, I have great confidence in your strength. I'm sure whoever plays will definitely bring victory to the team. ”
"Tomorrow's game, the situation is changing rapidly, everyone has to be ready from the beginning and ready to play at any time......"
"Yes!"
Superintendent Kataoka's words made the friends of the Seido High School baseball team stunned.
What he meant by this was that tomorrow's game was going to see the move.
If the opponent sends out a relatively strong one, then Qingdao High School will also send a relatively strong one, and if the opponent sends a substitute, they want to preserve the strength of the Tokyo area.
Naturally, Qingdao High School can't bully others, and will definitely use substitutes to fight.
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with such a tactic, but there is a premise, that is, the main force or the substitute who will be the first to appear?
Baseball is different from basketball in that there is a rule that the substituted player cannot play again.
So whether Qingdao High School will send the main force or send the substitute at the beginning is a big question.
Apparently Supervisor Kataoka also thought of this, and it seemed as if there was no choice.
"Tomorrow's starting lineup is a mix of main and substitute players, and the starting pitchers are ......"
When Superintendent Kataoka shouted out the words starting pitcher, all the friends around him stood up.
That's the point.
Superintendent Kataoka's gaze crossed over from Sawamura Eisumun, Akira Shiratani, and Kawakami's faces in turn.
In the end, I set my sights on Wang Xi, a first-year newcomer.
"Tomorrow's starting pitcher, I plan to let Wang Xi go!"
When Superintendent Kataoka said this, the friends of the baseball club of Seido High School were all stunned.
Superintendent Kataoka doesn't know how to brain, right?
Tomorrow's race is the final of the Spring Tournament.
No matter how bad that championship game is, it's still a championship!
In such a game, wouldn't it be a little sloppy to send a first-year rookie pitcher directly?
Superintendent Kataoka didn't mean to explain to everyone, and after giving the order, he turned around and left.
