Chapter Ninety-Three: Kataoka, I can't sit still

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."

After being chased back by Kasuga's players, Kawakami, a pitcher at Seichi High School, cheered up with the support of his teammates.

Won three outs and defended the game.

After six rounds of play, the score of the two teams was 2:1, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were evenly matched.

Originally, although the score of Qingdao High School was not much ahead, it was absolutely active in the situation, and there was no temper at all to suppress Kasuga Ichigao.

It looks like winning is like picking up something.

But now it seems that things are not so simple. Kasuga Ichitaka still retains the strength of Tokyo's powerhouse.

Relying solely on the strength of the substitutes, it is no problem to suppress them slightly, but it may not be easy to win cleanly.

As the game dragged on like this, Seido High School was even at risk of losing the victory.

It can't go on like this!

Kataoka soon had a plan.

"Get ready to warm up!"

He said lightly.

It's not clear who is this sentence for? But the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team don't mind......

Regardless of who he's talking to, there's nothing wrong with being prepared at this time.

Several of the former main forces in the rest area of Qingdao High School all stood up and began to do warm-up exercises.

This scene made the audience enthusiastic.

"Qingdao!"

"Sawamura, Sawamura!!"

"Miyuki !!"

They shouted the names in the rest area hoarsely.

As if to convey their power to the players on the field, in order to force Kataoka to supervise and replace these players on the field.

On the other side, the rest area of Kasuga's high heights.

The superintendent of Kasuga Ichigao has a constipated look on his face.

The superintendent of Qingdao High School, this is too calm. They are just one point ahead, and the other party plans to let these current players on the field go up and down nine times?

If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to stabilize the situation.

Glancing up at the score on the field.

Now the score is 2:1, and the game has reached the ninth inning.

It doesn't matter if all the main players of Seido High School play. Originally, they didn't think about winning today's game, but in fact, they could score one point and play nine games against Qingdao High School.

Kasuga Ichigao's strategic goals have all been achieved.

Although the opponent is the substitute players of Seido High School, it is a little embarrassing. But as long as they don't say it themselves, where can others know?

And at this time, Qingdao High School has replaced their main force.

The situation is even more perfect.

In the face of the changes in Qingdao High School, the superintendent of Kasuga Ichigao was very bland.

Such a script is very much in line with the interests of his heart.

Of course, if his group of disciples could suddenly break out, firmly suppress the main force of Qingdao High School in the last three games, and win this game, that kind of script would naturally be more perfect.

But that's not realistic!

Pinning all your hopes on these unrealistic things can only show that your mental age is not mature.

Superintendent Kasuga, who has studied psychology on his own, thinks that he is mentally sound enough and mature enough.

Wouldn't daydream like that......

The abnormal movement in the rest area is also a lot of excitement for the players who are on the field at Seido High School.

Superintendent Kataoka finally couldn't sit still.

Although there was some unwillingness in my heart and I was not able to win the spring high cleanly, the substitute players also knew that their strength was just that.

Without the help of ace pitchers, you can play evenly with opponents in the top eight in Tokyo. With this record alone, they are proud of themselves.

As for going further, you can compete with the top four.

Don't talk nonsense.

People always have to know how many bowls of rice they can eat, so that they will not be too disappointed after failure.

I am also more aware of my shortcomings and know how to work hard.

The substitute students at Qingdao High School obviously understood all this.

Therefore, although they are a little unwilling to supervise Kataoka's approach, they are not without a way to understand.

If they were to stand in the shoes of the current Kataoka supervisor, they would never allow the game to continue to be so deadlocked.

There were only three games left in the game, and the difference between the two sides was only one point.

No matter how you think about it, it's hard to be reassuring.

The game continued until the first half of the seventh inning, and it was Seido High School's turn to attack.

Previously, Seido High School's line was finished by the seventh bat.

So the offense starts with the eighth bat.

"Eighth bat, pitcher, Kawakami!"

Kawakami, who served as a pitcher, did not go out of the rest area at all. It was Kataoka, the superintendent of Seido High School, who came out, and he gave instructions to the organizing committee to replace him.

"Qingdao High School changed players, and the eighth batter played on behalf of Hakushu classmates."

At this time, Kawakami was directly replaced, and he was replaced by Hakushu.

Hakushu, who walked into the strike zone, had a blank face.

After stepping into the strike zone, he pulled up the bat in his hand and kept his eyes on the pitcher's mound without blinking.

Looking at such a white state, Kasuga Ichigao's ace pitcher secretly frowned.

They had collected the information of various players in Qingdao High School very carefully before, and of course they knew how extraordinary the strength of this fighter standing in the strike zone on the field now was.

To put it bluntly, he is definitely one of the three toughest beaters in Seido High School.

And most importantly, this player's striking style is also very restrained by their ace pitcher.

Compared to the previous Kawakami, Hakushu's threat level immediately increased several times.

"Don't be careless!"

The catcher of Kasuga Ichigao took the initiative to give a code to the pitcher partner on the field.

The opponent is a very well-rounded player, so you can't just watch out for his strikes.

You need to know that he is very likely to pick four bad or simply short.

These must be guarded against.

When he saw Hakushu, Kasuga's casting partner seemed extremely jealous. In such a fearful situation, they are more and more nervous to deal with it.

When pitching, there is no indomitable terrifying momentum before.

"Whoosh!"

The ball is very limp and weak.

Hakushu, who wanted to observe a ball first, was not originally going to swing a bat.

But when the little white ball flew over, he couldn't restrain his desire to swing his bat. For an excellent hitter, in the face of such a sweet ball, there is no way to restrain himself at all.

If he has such a ball, he can't take the chance. Then there is no way for him to be a good fighter.

Chasing the shadow of the white ball, Bai Zhou decisively waved the bat in his hand.

The small ball that was about to enter the hand was directly squeezed out by the bat.

"Ping!"

After the white ball was hit, it flew crookedly behind the shortstop.

Hakushu's face was a little ugly.

He didn't rejoice at hitting the ball and winning the hit, but he blamed himself a little.

Just now, because the reaction was not very timely, his swing was late.

Otherwise, he should have performed better.

But it doesn't matter, his performance is also explained in the past.

Hakushu lurked to first base very smoothly.

No one is out, there is someone on first base.

Such a situation naturally amazed the audience.

Before the substitution, although Qingdao High School scored two points, in fact, few people were able to get on base.

Until now, the number of hits won by Qingdao High School can be counted in the palm of one hand.

So on the whole, the ace pitcher of Kasuga Ichigao is still performing very well.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qingdao High School was replaced, his performance immediately became weak.

It's just like a joke, Hakushu easily got on the base.

"Damn, is this the strength of the main force of Qingdao High School?"

Kasuga's main catcher, he secretly gritted his teeth in his heart.

Baizhou's wonderful performance was obviously beyond his imagination.

The opponent actually caught up with his partner's pitching rhythm on the first ball. It's as easy as an adult playing with a child.

Originally, Kasuga Ichigao's main catcher thought that even if the players of Seido High School were better than them. It shouldn't be too strong.

I didn't expect that when I actually fought each other, it was not the same thing at all, the main force of Qingdao High School was selected, and the strength was very strong.

A vague feeling is not something they can contend with.

You know, it's not the big demon King Sawamura Eijun or the savior of Seido High School, Yukikazuya.

Such a national top star player.

It's in Seido High School, Hakushu, which has a very low-key reputation.

"Ignore him, our opponent is next."

"Ninth stick, shortstop, Kanemaru."

Originally, Kasuga Ichiko's players thought that Seido High School's substitutions would definitely continue.

Unexpectedly, they didn't do that, and it was still Kanemaru who continued to stand on the field and fight.

The Kuramochi in the rest area was obviously ready, but Superintendent Kataoka did not give instructions for the substitution.

Sawamura Eijun and Miyukichi also glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Kanemaru's main position seems to be temporarily retained.

At this time, the players who were still left on the court by Kataoka showed that the supervisor had a lot of expectations for their strength.

Before Kanemaru, there was a hitter and a very good guard.

In the absence of the other main players, his performance is also remarkable.

In such a situation, it seems that it is not impossible for Superintendent Kataoka to let him continue to stay on the field.

'It's not enough, he has to play better if he wants to stay on the pitch.'

Sawamura Eijun muttered.

It's gold that always shines, and that's not a problem at all.

But if it's not 24k pure gold, it needs to be carefully verified.

Even if Kanemaru is still on the court, it can only mean that Superintendent Kataoka continues to verify him.

It's not that he will necessarily be able to become the main force of Qingdao High School.

"Come on, brother!"

In his heart, Sawamura Rongchun still silently sent his blessings.
