Jun Izaki and the others joined the first year of Seido High School, and in the summer tournament that year, they didn't join the first army. can only be in the stands, cheering for those seniors with extraordinary strength!

Those seniors who were as strong as monsters in their eyes finally lost to their rival City Sangao in the eight-in-four game.

Such a tough senior, but he lost?

Looking at these seniors, crying like a child, Jun Izaki will never forget that scene.

Not even the seniors, are they really okay?

The pain of defeat is gone in the blink of an eye. Whether it is Seido High School or the players, they all have to face the future.

After that, Takashima Rei deliberately found Jun Izashaki to talk to him.

"You've got a lot of strength in your shoulders and you're pretty good at hitting and I want you to use that for the sake of the team."

Rei Takashima bluntly told Jun Izashaki that it would be difficult to become a pitcher for Aodo with his ball control.

"Please allow me to think about it!"

At this time, Jun Izaki knew about the cruelty of the high school giants.

The gap between reality and ideal is very large.

As runners, they can only grit their teeth and run forward.

During training in the morning, Itai, who was determined to be a starting outfielder, was exhausted.

"No, I can't continue to follow this team, run forward!"

Breathing shortly, exhausted, sweat falling to the ground like raindrops.

At that time, Itai felt like he was about to die.

That was the moment he was closest to death, the next second, the next second. If he continues to train, he will die.

Once a person's will is relaxed, it is difficult to stand up again.

At this moment, a large hand pulled him.

Itai opened his tired eyes and looked at the tall figure.

"Izaki ......"

"You're not the only one who feels pain! But if you want to survive, you have to move forward. ”

……

Since then, Superintendent Kataoka's training for the first grade has become more and more rigorous.

"What the hell, lower your waist."

"If you can't catch the ball with your gloves, use your body to block it!"

"Keep your eyes on the ball, don't always look to the side, give me concentrated pitching when you go on the pitch!"

For the strict requirements of Kataoka's supervision, even some seniors can't stand it.

"Supervision seems to have become stricter than before."

"There's no way, who makes the first-year players of the new team, the skills are really terrible!"

Between survival and elimination, Jun Izashaki had to make a choice.

If you want me to stay in the field or anywhere, if I can survive, I can do anything.

In order to survive and stand out, Jun Izashaki began to practice.

After the seniors in the dormitory fell asleep, he went to the training place alone.

Well?

There, there was already a figure, sweating like rain.

"Formed?"

"It's so late, what are you doing? Aren't you not living in a dormitory? Do you have to stay and practice every day? ”

Pure Izakiki was surprised and didn't think so.

"From the moment I joined the team, I was determined to practice 500 swings a day. Practice 300 times at school and 200 times when you get home. ”

"Really?"

Izagi's eyes widened, and he looked at the formation in disbelief.

He thought that his determination was big enough, but he didn't expect to form such a monster.

"Can we also practice together? The snoring of the seniors was too loud. ”

Just when Izaki Jun was surprised, two more figures came.

Ryosuke Kominato!

Masuko Toru!!

The firm idea of wanting to be better than anyone else slowly affects the people around you!

After the training, more and more people stayed to practice.

It is a blessing for this year's third-year students to meet teammates who can stimulate each other.

From that day on, they had only one goal, to practice their swing every day.

Hard work doesn't lie!

Two months later, the formation of the first army, who was exceptionally promoted, took the lead in hitting a home run.

"It's on the scoreboard!"

"Ah Zhe, you are the strongest!"

"I was practicing at night, and I finally showed results!"

The first time I became a starter, the first time I hit the court, I hit a home run.

Since then, Yusei has embarked on his own dream journey.

It was impressive that each of the third-year players was very happy as if they had hit a home run.

Two years later, the baseball field at Qingdao High School.

Superintendent Kataoka is doing the final garrison practice with the third-year players.

Their performances were very good, and all kinds of beautiful guards were staged repeatedly.

"Because others can identify with themselves, they can also work hard, and the players of this era are all people with strong hearts."

That's how Takashima introduced Akira and Sawamura to Shimiya.

It turned out that the seniors were not very powerful at the beginning, but the accumulated efforts that made them get to where they are today!

We also have to learn a lot of things from these seniors!

"Every player who joins Seido High School has made a lot of determination to come here. This matter is the same in any era, but those seniors in the third grade are stronger-willed. I believe that my generation is the same! ”

Sawamura's speech was immediately recognized by all first-grade students.

Akira Shibuyani, Tojo, Kanemaru, Kominato......

Everyone looked at him, just like all the third-year contestants looked at Captain Yuuki before.

"That's it for today's training!"

At the end of the session, everyone gathered in a row and bowed to the court.

They've done what they have to do, and the next thing is to play to their full strength, put a smile on their face, and get back on the pitch again.

"Thank you for the advice!!"

……

After dinner, everyone gathered in the conference room.

Tomorrow's starters will be announced here.

"The main starting pitcher is Sawamura, the catcher is Miyuki, the first baseman is Yuri, the second baseman is Kominato, the third baseman Masuko, and the shortstop Kurachi. Left field Kadoda, Nakamidan Jun Izaki, right field Hakushu. ”

This time, there has been a lot of adjustment.

First of all, the first point is the main catcher, which has been replaced by Chris to Miyuki.

Chris is a blank year after all, and he has limited research on the two rivals of Qingdao High School.

In contrast, Miyuki's main job is to study Inashiro and the three high schools of the city.

He knows these two teams far better than Chris, or even anyone else at Qingdao High School.

It was most fitting that he would be the starting catcher in the first game.

"Chris is also ready to play at any time if there is a substitute or an accident."

"Yes!"

In addition to Chris, the second surprise was the outfielder.

Itai in the left field was replaced by Kadoda.
