In less than three weeks, more than 100 high schools were selected to represent Nishitokyo in Koshien.

With such a tight schedule, the schedule must be very intense. Only two days after the end of the first game, Seido High School is about to face the second game.

Before the second game, Kataoka went out of his way to the cowshed to observe the state of several pitchers.

In the cowshed, the best pitching performance was Sawamura.

His imagination exercises with Chris were very fulfilling.

The islands, the big leagues, the small leagues, the present and the past......

All the powerful fighters have become their opponents.

In their infinite imagination, they defeated these opponents one by one.

"This ball is so sweet! If it was really Bruce, the ball would have been blasted out just now. ”

Chris said sternly.

Sawamura raised his hand apologetically.

Man is not a machine after all, and he also has times when he misses.

"The next opponent, Sakata. The situation on the field is two outs, and there are people on second base. Let's go! ”

Chris and Sawamura continue to swim in the ocean of their imagination.

Ochiai, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but admire.

"I've been teaching high school baseball for more than a decade, and this is the first time I've seen a player in the first grade who can practice with his imagination like Sawamura. With him and Chris's classmates, the pitcher mound of Qingdao High School can be completely handed over to them. ”

This is a disguised recommendation of the duo to deal with the third high school of the city!

Kataoka nodded and did not speak.

If Chris still has one doubt, there is no doubt about Sawamura's strength.

He is the ace of Qingdao!

"You go on, 10 balls to 15 balls, do 10 sets."

Kataoka said.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Sawamura raised his hand, signaling that he had received an order.

While Chris agreed, his heart sank.

Kataoka supervised the number of pitches in Sawamura in consciously.

This shows that in the mind of Superintendent Kataoka, Sawamura's position is irreplaceable. When it comes to a critical situation, even if there is a possibility of a play-off, he will still send Sawamura on the field.

Although this trust was earned little by little by Sawamura by his own efforts.

However, it was the first time that a first-year player was able to gain such full trust at Seido High School.

I hope that Sawamura will not go down the same path as himself because of too much pressure.

Chris thought worriedly.

At the same time, he also made up his mind at this time that he must take a good look at Sawamura and not let him go crazy.

"Senior Chris, I'm done."

Just as Chris was practicing with Sawamura's partner, a panting figure ran in the distance.

It's Akatsuki Valley.

"Can the senior catch my ball now?"

The pure eyes were fixed on Chris's body, and Chris looked a little hairy.

Chris didn't know where he had provoked the junior brother, so he let the junior abandon Miyuki and spin behind his ass.

"You can start pitching, but it's not me who catches it."

Chris gestured to Sawamura for a pause, and then led Akira Shibuyani to a net.

There was a shelf in front of the ball, and the middle of the shelf was empty, exactly the same size as a good ball belt.

There are also horizontal bars on the shelf, which can be fixed to divide the good ball belt into top and bottom or left and right.

'Your biggest problem now is not the speed and power of the ball, it's the possession. First of all, let's throw it into the good ball belt. 50 goals a day, remember to give it your all, and don't give up your speed just because you have the ball. After the ball passes through, the net will stop it, and when the time comes, you will pick it up and wipe it clean. These 50 balls don't mean that you can shoot a total of 50 balls, but throw a good ball with 50 balls, understand? When you're able to make 50 out of 80 shots. When do we start the next step of training? Of course, this is just an extra practice, and you can't stop practicing. ”

After Chris finished speaking, he continued to go back to the cowshed to practice with Sawamura.

With such a way of guidance, Yu Xing can't stand it anymore.

"Senior, in this way, there is no way to drop the valley in a short period of time, and play the game?"

Chris was unimpressed.

"We don't need the strength of Akira Tani now, as long as he can do it before the final. Didn't you also coach him to practice knuckle? I believe that when the time comes, Gu Xiao's explosive combat power will definitely surprise the people of Daocheng. ”

Miyuki thought about it, if Akira Shibuyani could really throw the ball into the good ball belt.

At that time, his strength to explode at that time should indeed not be underestimated.

And the most interesting thing is that Inagi has seen the pitching of Akira Tsukiya before, and the countermeasures they have come up with are the easiest for Chris and Miyuki to guess.

If Daocheng really does that then.

That Gu Xiao may not bring them bitterness, but bitter fruits.

Let the players train freely, Kataoka did not interject a word.

After watching Sawamura and Akira Tsukiya, he went to see Tanba again.

Tanba's fighting spirit is good and his pitching is also very powerful.

"Very good, just one ball at a time, keep the energy to shoot!"

Kataoka nodded, then said.

"Don't rush to play, you have more opportunities to play. For the time being, let's leave more time for Akira Shibuyani and Kawakami, so that they can get familiar with the atmosphere of the arena. You and Sawamura are more about retaining physical strength and ensuring their own condition. It's up to you to play after the quarterfinals! If you can keep that fighting spirit and concentration all the time, I'll let you start in the quarterfinals. ”

The opponent of the quarterfinals is the third high school of the city university!

Tanba raised his head, looked at Kataoka seriously and said, "Yes! ”

Not only the supervisors and coaches, but also the Qingdao players know that their real summer tournament actually starts with the quarterfinals.

Only after that game, Qingdao High School needs to play seriously one game at a time.

In the seeding system, unless it is a dark horse that suddenly appears, the difference in strength between seeds and non-seeds is very large.

Qingdao High School naturally doesn't have to care about other opponents.

Of course, this is only a strategic disparage for the opponent, and it is certainly not possible to do it tactically. Otherwise, Qingdao High School will inevitably capsize in the gutter.

Miyuki listened to Kataoka's words and turned his head to look at Tanba.

If he remembers correctly, the current trump card of Senior Tanba and the city high school is really wanted.

When the two of them were in middle school, they were on the same team.

Tanba-senpai has always been Manaka's replacement. Later, the two joined different schools and became the aces of the team......

Tambo was relegated from ace to substitute.

Fate, it's magical!

The reason why Superintendent Kataoka would let Tanba start the game in the match against the city university's junior high school.

Probably because I'm worried about Senior Tamba, I'm worried about my complicated feelings now!

He hoped that Senior Tanba could rely on his own strength to prove that it was not a wrong choice for him to join Seongdo.

In his selfish heart, Superintendent Kataoka still has a little preference for Senior Tanba.

I only hope that this preference will not cause pressure on Tamba seniors!
