There is no such thing as an impermeable wall, let alone a collective. Although Sawamura Eijun, who presided over the draft, did not say much, he was not the only old student present at the time, there were other people.

When Sawamura went back to the baseball club cafeteria to eat in the evening, the people around him who had good relationships were eyeing him.

Kanemaru, Tojo, Kominato, Akira Shibuyani, Miyuki, Kurachi.

The five of them surrounded Sawamura Eijun, and Miyuki and Kuramochi sat on one side of Sawamura.

Opposite are Kanemaru, Tojo and Kominato.

Of course Sawamura knows what these old guys want to know? But he just wouldn't say it.

I calmly brought the food, and then concentrated on enjoying the food in front of me.

Because he didn't participate in the exercises with the old students, his physical consumption was not large, and it was really difficult to eat three bowls of rice.

With the others already finished, Sawamura Eijun delayed for several more minutes before he wiped out the rice in front of him.

The guys around him had finished eating early in the morning, but none of them were leaving.

They just stared at Sawamura without saying a word.

"I'm full!"

Sawamura Eijun put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the five people who were surrounded and refused to let him leave.

Helplessly, spread out his hands.

"If there's anything you want to ask, can you?"

Since he couldn't hide, Sawamura Eijun naturally planned to say something.

Hearing that they finally cut to the chase, the surrounding partners also pricked up their ears one by one, looking very interested.

I have long heard that this year's new student recruitment is particularly smooth, and the number of students even exceeds the sum of the previous years.

It's not just the numbers, it's the strength. According to the tone revealed by Takashima Rei, there are a lot of good seedlings in it.

Those who have really achieved fame in the Young Bang era, even these seniors of Qingdao High School, do not dare to be careless.

After all, no one knows if there will be any more newcomers of Sawamura Eijun's level.

Qingdao High School is not without tradition in this regard, and in the first two years, Chris and Jiecheng replaced the two seniors.

Miyuki also replaced Chris in his freshman years.

Not to mention Sawamura Eijun, a Kanto conference, pulled down the ace pitcher in the team.

From the perspective of a new student, this is naturally a manifestation of pride. But if you look at this problem from the perspective of the old students.

This is the tragedy of life!

Willing or not, the old students don't want such a tragedy to happen to them.

It didn't matter when they were new before, now they have a vested interest. Even if I've already had an experience with Koshien, I want to go in again.

No one wants to be eliminated at this time.

The so-called is to know oneself and know one's opponent, and win all battles. Know in advance who your competitors are? There are still some benefits.

"Are there any freshmen who are particularly strong?"

Seeing that Sawamura Eijun didn't plan to take the initiative to speak, Kanemaru couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly.

"Don't worry, although there are also two third basemen, their strength is average, and they can't threaten you."

Sawamura's answer didn't make Kanemaru feel the slightest relief. Don't look at him yet, he hasn't secured the position of third baseman yet, but Kanemaru has never been a man who is afraid of competition.

"Who's scared?"

Kanemaru stood up angrily: "I'm just curious. ”

It's just that in his heart, he also silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Sawamura Eijun glanced at the relieved Kanemaru and remained silent.

To tell the truth, there are really no people in the freshmen who can threaten Kanemaru's position.

There are only a few players who have the ability to threaten the main force of Qingdao, and only pitchers and catchers account for half.

The rest of Takuma is a second baseman, and even if he moves to a different position, he can only switch shortstops.

There was no overlap between him and the third baseman's position.

The striking strength of the formation is excellent, but with his immature defense, it is difficult to defend the infield.

The last one left is Kagami, who takes his place as an outfielder.

Nor does it pose a threat to Kanemaru.

In this way, there are indeed no players who can charge at the Kanemaru position as a freshman, but this does not mean that Kanemaru can sit back and relax.

Just because there are no people who threaten him in the new students doesn't mean that there are no people in Qingdao who can threaten him.

Not to mention the establishment of a direct competition with him, even in the current Second Army, there are people who are eyeing Kanemaru's position.

"So, there are really new students who can threaten our position?"

Although Sawamura Eijun didn't say that, the meaning of his words was obvious. With Yuyuki's intelligence, where could he not hear it?

"Yes!"

Sawamura nodded with a wry smile.

There are people who can charge the main lineup.

In view of the weaknesses of the current Seido High School, Sawamura believes that there are two people who have the best chance of charging the main force.

One is formed, and the other is Wang Xi.

In the current Qingdao High School, there are only two people who really have the ability to fight long, but there are only two people, Sawamura Eijun and Yuyuki, Kazuya.

Most of the others are skill-based hitters and don't have a strong ability to play long.

Even if some of them have the ability to fight for a long time, their own striking ability is not very good.

All in all, Qingdao High School is lacking at the level of beaters.

With that in mind, there is no doubt that he is the most likely of all the new students to emerge.

In addition, Sawamura Rongjun believes that the second likely to come out is Wang Xi.

The formation of the shoji can come out at this time, and its own outstanding strength is one thing, and the lack of the lineup of Qingdao High School is another.

With the combination of these two aspects, as long as this guy doesn't perform too badly, it is almost a sure thing to be promoted to the first army.

And Wang Xi is simply because of strength.

There is no shortage of good pitchers in Qingdao High School now, and it is even called the pitcher kingdom by the outside world.

But that doesn't mean that the pitchers at Qingdao High School can sit back and relax.

On the contrary, there are many inconsistent elements in the pitcher lineup at Qingdao High School. In addition to ace pitcher Eijun Sawamura, both Shibuyani and Kawakami have no small weaknesses.

Tsukitani's own ball control is a big problem, it's okay if he's in a good state, and when he's in a bad state, he's likely to kill himself.

Kawakami's problem is also serious.

On the one hand, the strength is not very sufficient, and on the other hand, compared with Sawamura Rongjun's descent to the valley, it is not a little worse.

Of course.

Defective does not mean that they are not strong, in fact, except for a handful of pitchers in the country, other pitchers have more or less some problems.

Without good pitcher seedlings, Superintendent Kataoka estimates that it will be difficult to get new pitchers into the pitcher lineup.

But Wang Xi, his potential is too good, and his strength is too strong.

I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Superintendent Kataoka to resist temptation and the urge to train himself.

After returning to the school from Koshien, the roster of 18 people has not been replenished, and there are two places left.

You know, there are 18 places for players in Koshien's rest area. However, there are 20 slots in the lounge area of the Tokyo Games.

Even at this time, there is no way to exclude the players from the first army, but these two places can always be replenished.

It is said that after the players return, these two places will naturally have to be replenished by the two who were kicked out before.

However, Superintendent Kataoka did not do this, and instead reserved the two places.

This approach is very intriguing.

You're going to say that Kataoka Supervisor doesn't plan to select newcomers for this spring contest?

I guess no fool will believe it.

That's why the scene in front of them appeared, and everyone asked Sawamura Rongchun for information in an almost forced way.

"Who's more hopeful?"

Being able to be promoted by Kataoka at this time will naturally pose a great threat to other players.

"There are too many capable people, how do I know how Superintendent Kataoka will choose?"

Although Sun Ruchun had an idea in his heart, he didn't intend to say it.

As the saying goes, a gentleman is late!

Why do some people leave the impression that others always keep their word for it?

It's not all because they're capable, it's because they're slow to speak.

I can't hide things in my heart, and I have something to say.

It's hard to make a reliable impression.

Without nine times out of ten certainty, Sawamura Eijun will not take the initiative to give others the opportunity to slap his face.

In case Inspector Ichioka came back, his brain was convulsed, and it was different from what Swasura Eijun thought, so wasn't he embarrassed?

"And who do you think is more promising?"

Pretty much the same issue, but with a prefix.

The answer to this question is much more relaxed, and there is no need to fear being slapped in the face.

Sawamura Eijun glanced at the empathetic Miyuki, and then said six or seven names in one breath.

"Formed a shoji, Yui Fumi, Okumura, Takoma, Kagami, Wang Xi, Matsumoto Jun."

When he said so many names in one breath, everyone around him was dumbfounded.

The others are just that, they don't know much about it.

But Jun Matsumoto, isn't he Sawamura Eisun's own disciple?

Why is he on a par with those star players who have made a name for themselves in the country?

"Don't think we don't know anything, it seems that there are three hardcore catchers of these guys, right?"

It is worthy of being a well-informed Kanemaru, and he understands it really clearly.

Sawamura nodded helplessly.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, he has to say that he is aiming for the position after Yukikazu retired.

That's a lot.

And coincidentally, he and these three guys are still familiar with each other.

All three of them must have done a lot of research before entering Qingdao High School. And made an assessment of his own strength, and after the evaluation, he chose to join Qingdao with great confidence.

It's just that I'm afraid that none of them thought that the three of them would meet together.

I don't know if these three guys are all repentant now?

Sawamura Eijun thought with a wicked taste.
