Chapter 18: The Eve of the Flames of War

On the third day of the training camp, Sawamura clearly felt that the training atmosphere was different.

Speaking of which, he wasn't surprised by the situation.

For example, the training in the valley and the Kominato spring market is obviously relaxed. It's no longer yesterday's training method that aims to squeeze people's physical limits.

The training of Xiaoya is very simple, except for filling the position, he is just practicing swinging the stick.

Although he himself was indignant about this, all the old students of Seido High School knew that it was precisely because of Superintendent Kataoka's expectations of him.

There is an unspoken rule at Qingdao High School that when the supervisor asks you to practice a particular subject, you must never refuse.

Superintendent Kataoka, who is in charge of the training of the little hundred and ten. He didn't have that much American time to waste, and every order he gave had his own intentions. When he deliberately coaches a certain person, he sees that this person already has some appearance, and he will be used in the next game.

This is also the intention of letting Gu Xiao practice swinging sticks specifically.

It seems that Superintendent Kataoka is not satisfied with the situation where there are only three people on the pitcher, Tanba, Sawamura and Kawakami.

Even if a three-man pitcher formation is enough luxury for a high school game, Kataoka is still not satisfied, he wants more.

Or it's a joy to see the hunt, or it's full of anticipation. In short, in the next practice game, he will inevitably beat Tsugu Xiao out.

And it seems that the expectation for the valley is not limited to the terrifying pitching of the valley.

Even the blow of Gu Xiao, he was also full of expectations.

In fact, it's no wonder that Superintendent Kataoka would do this. It's really that Xiao's talent is so attractive!

Despite having a jewel like Sawamura in front of him, it is impossible for Tsukashi to come in handy in a short period of time.

After all, the dominance of the two on the pitcher's mound is too much worse!

The coaching staff of Qingdao High School, unless the collective brain is convulsive, it is impossible to send the unfinished Xiaogu to the pitcher mound in a critical situation!

As for the original book, it is just that there is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king, if Tanba is not injured, the key situation will not be able to give the valley a chance at all, let alone a chance to give Sawamura.

Not only did the valley drop, but Kominato's garrison pressure and strike training were all slowed down.

Although it seems that he is still on the pitch every time he trains.

But the frequency with which the ball hits you directly causes the frequency of your defense. In turn, you can control your physical exertion.

After the physical strength of Akira and Harushi Kominato was squeezed out, the coaching staff began to train them in a targeted manner.

Looks like the good days for these two guys have finally come.

Of course, the biggest change is still in the cowshed.

The partners are still old partners, but the pace of training has been significantly adjusted. For example, Sawamura, he is a ten-ball segment, and he has practiced 100 balls in 10 times.

Tamba is 15 balls, one practice, and six practice pitches.

It is a practice of 20 balls and five practice pitches.

This shift in rhythm is very interesting and is entirely distributed according to the rhythm of the individual.

Sawamura likes to decide the winner in the good spot, so every time he pitches, he maintains a very good rhythm. The average number of shots taken to win three outs is probably maintained at 10 goals, 11 goals, and so on.

In fact, this number is very staggering. Not to mention being a high school pitcher, even if you are looking for the major leagues, the Pacific League, and the minor leagues.

There are very few pitchers who can solve a battle with this number of pitches.

And Tanbo often wins strikeouts because of his sharp change balls, so the average number of balls he wins with three outs is not very many.

It's about 15 goals.

Naturally, the same is true for Kawakami.

When Tanba reaches the seventh game, there is often a situation where the follow-up is weak. It's not that his stamina is really worse than Sawamura.

After two years of struggling and crawling in Qingdao High School, Tanba is also very good at training himself.

I don't dare to say who is better, but at least I won't lose to Sawamura, a first-grade elementary schoolboy.

The total number of balls he and Sawamura threw with all their might was actually about the same.

For example, Sawamura's peak pitching is only about 100 balls.

After 100 goals, Sawamura is also difficult to maintain a relatively good pitching state. Whether it is his ball speed, ball power, or ball control, there are different degrees of decline.

It's just that because he consumes fewer balls per game, he has a longer rest time and can throw more balls. At the same time, because of the small number of balls consumed in each game, even if it is only 100 balls, Sawamura can maintain it to 10 or 11 innings.

On the contrary, with a hundred balls, Tamba can only hold 6,7 innings.

These things all go hand in hand.

For example, in the original book, when Narumi Nari was in the Koshien finals, he once pitched 15 rounds!

Of course, he is indeed a physical maniac. But that's not to say that his physical strength is really that much better than Tamba or Sawamura.

It's just that because his ball is sharper, he uses fewer balls to win the number of outs, and relatively speaking, he may not shoot many shots in 15 innings.

Insert a sentence here, through these, it is not difficult to see how terrible the demon beater, Ryosuke Kominato.

Don't look at the fact that he can only play three or four times, but his consumption of pitchers is very horrific in the overall proportion.

If a team has three hitters like him, it can break almost any pitcher they can get to the ball.

It's not just about pitching practice, it's about actual combat.

Even the data is a simulated practice match against the opponent.

Osaka Kiryu, Inagi Kogyo and Shuhoku High School.

For these three opponents, the pitchers also changed their own ideas with different balls.

For example, the imaginary enemy with Chris is Daocheng Industry.

After Sawamura and Chris teamed up for four rounds, Miyuki practiced with Sawamura for three rounds with Kiryu Osaka as an imaginary enemy.

"What, is it already certain that there will be a war?"

Sawamura is not stupid, looking at the content of their matching, he has almost determined the arrangement of the next team.

"You're so smart. This Saturday, Sunday. There are practice games, and it will be up to the coach to arrange them. ”

The target of the practice competition has been decided for a long time, and the specific time has not been announced. So Sawamura is really not sure, after all, this memory has been very vague in his previous life.

But the opponent, he still remembers.

Osaka Kiryu, Inagi Industries.

The first time he met Cheng Gongming in his previous life was this time.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Just when Sawamura was in his own thoughts, Tamba suddenly invited Chris to match him.

And Miyuki was asked back by Kawakami.

"What about me?"

Sawamura looked innocent.

"If you don't dislike it, I can catch your ball."

Like an angry bull, Keisuke Miyauchi spewed two air masses from his nose heavily.

Sawamura looked back at the palace and nodded.

"Okay!"

Even if it was a rotation partner before, he and Miyauchi had never been combined.

After all, he has already been determined to be the trump card, and the palace has sprung up, and the chances of getting the main place are not high.

Everyone knows it, and no one will say it.

But when training, of course, the main force still has to be with the main force.

So Sawamura's previous partner was either Miyuki or Chris.

It's really the first time I've worked with Miyauchi.

"You'd better be careful when you catch him, Miyauchi senior."

Although he knew that if he said this, he would inevitably cause unhappiness in the palace.

But Miyuki still kindly reminded.
