Chapter 4: Expedition to Kanagawa
On the first day of the holiday, the friends of the Seido High School baseball team got on the bus and headed to Kanagawa.
Because of the rush of the schedule, the coaching staff of Seido High School didn't even have time to educate the players about their opponents.
In this way, the departure of the first army is quite passive.
If the opponent wants information about Seido High School, it is very simple, they just need to search the Internet for the video of the spring Koshien game.
It's only been a month, and with a wealthy family like Qingdao High School, it's impossible for them to be reborn.
Tactics against Seido High School are bound to emerge one after another.
"Fortunately, they are all Kanto teams, and there are no too strong opponents."
Watanabe, as the manager of the team, was authorized by Superintendent Kataoka to participate in a practice expedition with the team.
On the one hand, you can detect the intelligence of these opponents, and on the other hand, you can also make reasonable suggestions about the state of your friends.
As time went on, Watanabe became more and more important to the Seido High School baseball team.
is the so-called 360 lines, and the line is the champion.
Once the auxiliary work is done, it is also very fruitful.
Watanabe is also satisfied with his current state, and he knows that his talent is not comparable to those friends around him.
Now he can fight side by side with everyone in a different way, which makes him very happy and enjoyable.
Superintendent Kataoka was also quite satisfied with his work results, and even directly invited Watanabe.
"If you're really interested in baseball, you can get a coach's license. After graduating from university, I will work at Seido High School. ”
Watanabe was of course ecstatic about such an invitation, but he was not a little puzzled.
"Our team's assistant coach slot is full, right?"
Seido High School is a super luxury configuration, in addition to supervising Kataoka, head coach Ochiai, Minister Ota, and Deputy Minister Rei Takashima.
The coach in charge of the baseball club of Seido High School, there are four other people, all of whom have graduated from Seido High School without exception.
From the establishment of Seido High School to the present, the only coach who has not graduated from Seido High School is the external Ochiai.
"It's not the same as before, as more and more new students join, the school is ready to hire a few more assistant coaches. I can reserve a spot for you! ”
Watanabe felt like tears were about to fly out of his eyes.
Originally, he helped his teammates, just for the team, but also to fulfill his own dreams.
I didn't expect to be careless and solve my own work.
Despite being a player, his talent is very average. But as a team coach, his ability is still worthy of everyone's recognition.
Superintendent Kataoka also intends to train Watanabe to be his successor, although he prefers Yukikaya and Sawamura Eijun.
I can think about it with my toenails, and I know that after these two guys graduate, I am afraid it will be difficult to work as a coach.
Even in the future, if they can really work as a coach, it will be after they can't play the ball.
That will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?
It's better to be cultivated by Watanabe by himself like this, so it's more reassuring.
Watanabe's understanding of the game, the excavation of the players' individual strengths, and the analysis of information......
All of them showed a very talented appearance.
These talents are not the talents of being a player, and although there are some connections, the difference is clear.
It's a coach's talent.
It's like Ochiai, the current head coach of Seido High School, who was actually very average when he was a player.
It's not necessarily much better than the current Watanabe.
But you can't help but admit that they are really a very good coach.
Very powerful!
Even Superintendent Kataoka is very recognizant.
It is also because of this experience that Superintendent Kataoka thinks that Watanabe may also be the right person.
Watanabe himself was of course very excited.
Although he did not agree to it, he accepted Inspector Kataoka's suggestion. After he gets into college, he will get a baseball coach's license.
Maybe he'll be involved in baseball for the rest of his life.
Don't look at the players in the baseball club of Qingdao High School, they are all very strong now, but there are very few people who can really work in baseball in the future.
Instead, Watanabe.
He has a much greater chance of a future career in baseball than some players in the First Army.
"I don't have any information, I don't know who the other party is? It's really an ideal opponent to hone in on a new team. ”
Miyuki holds the schedule for the game in his hand.
There are six matches in total, three in one region and two in one region.
Counting the time spent on the road, the schedule of the race was very tight.
Plus don't know who the opponent is?
This test is indeed very harsh for the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School.
There are benefits, though.
As for the Qingdao High School baseball belt, except for a few familiar opponents, most of the teams in the country are unknown to them.
Everyone knows Seido High School, but they don't know their opponents.
This situation was better during the Kanto convention, but when it comes to the summer tournament, I am afraid that it will happen more often.
If it does, what should be done about it?
This is the next problem that the Seongdo High School baseball team must overcome.
Superintendent Kataoka and the coaching staff of the Seido High School baseball club, of course, can't be without any information. With the background of Qingdao High School over the years, I really want to understand an opponent, and there are many ways and means.
There is no need to close yourself off at all.
The reason why Kataoka's supervision and coaching staff did not release any information to everyone.
It's just to hone everyone.
But this also reveals another signal.
"The opponents in these six games, I'm afraid there is no team that is too strong!"
Sawamura Eijun muttered.
The Kanto Convention is about to begin, and the powerful people in the Kanto region are all going to participate in the Kanto Convention.
In other words, in half a month, Qingdao High School is likely to meet with several teams.
In this case, as long as there is no water in their minds, they will never play a practice game with the Qingdao High School baseball club.
The teams that won the first place in each district and county may not be the opponents of Qingdao High School, let alone those teams that are not the first place.
So Sawamura can be very sure of that.
The opponents they practice against should not be too strong.
Of course, if Qingdao High School can accept the invitation, their strength must not be too bad.
It is such a team that is the best target for practice. Superintendent Kataoka can also easily adjust the team's lineup.
"It's really brainy!"
Sawamura Eijun's quiet muttering voice was heard by Kuramori, who was at the tip of his ear, and he directly took out the battle table and said to Sawamura Eijun.
"Do you see this school? Fei Lian High School! ”
"What's wrong?"
Sawamura asked inexplicably.
can make Yoichi Kuramochi swear like this, Sawamura Rongchun can generally guess that the strength of the other party should not be bad.
But to be honest, he certainly didn't have the name of the school in his head.
In other words, this school is not the top national powerhouse in Sawamura's consciousness, and it is not even a particularly famous team.
Such a team deserves such attention?
No, no, it seems like I've heard the name somewhere.
The memory is a little long, and Sawamura Eijun is not very convinced.
But he did seem to have heard the name.
"Isn't that a famous soccer college?"
There are also people who understand, and they speak directly at this time.
Later, after careful inquiry, I learned that this Fei Lian was really not an unknown person. Fei Lian High School is a well-known sports school in Kanagawa Prefecture.
It's just that its strongest sport isn't baseball, it's football.
Feilian University's football is the runner-up in the national competition, and Feilian's basketball is the top eight in the national competition.
The volleyball of Feilian University is the top four in the country.
……
Such a school, the spirit it advocates, and the quality of their players, can be imagined.
"No matter how strong the other teams are, they don't have a dime to do with the baseball club, right? Could it be that the ace players of other teams have entered the water in their brains and entered the baseball team in one go? Even if they all make it to the baseball team, baseball is not something that can be played by brute force alone......"
Sawamura said strangely.
"You don't understand this!"
Kuramochi had a look of confidence in his chest.
"Originally, their baseball club was very good, but it was difficult to get ahead in an area like Kanagawa. has been pressed by several other wealthy families, and has not been able to enter Koshien. ”
"But this time it was different, they went all the way to the end of the previous spring tournament. Although he lost to the king of Kanagawa in the end, he also won the second place. ”
2nd place in Kanagawa Prefecture?
This is a very feared existence!
"When are they going to play us?"
"This afternoon."
Towards Kanagawa, Watanabe finally began to fulfill his responsibilities as a team manager.
"In this afternoon's game, you must watch out for this guy."
Watanabe didn't know where to find a large poster.
This poster is a kind of model photography!
The model in the poster has some superficial introductions.
Height 188 cm.
Weight 78 kg.
Hobbies include sports, basketball, football, baseball, table tennis.
Favorite song to listen to, the ending song of the Grim Reaper.
Favorite female star, Kim Hee-sun.
favorite male star, Jackie Chan.
Just looking at the introduction of these posters, this is a young man full of international style.
He is only 16 years old, the same age as Sawamura Eijun.
The name is Xiancao Zhi!
is a model superstar.
The number of fans is second only to Eijun Sawamura, and it ranks second among all high school players.
Compared with others, his fame is also very loud.
"I didn't expect it to be him!"
Sawamura laughed.
When he heard the name of Feilian University before, he felt that this name was very familiar.
It's just that because the time is too far away, his memory is not clear.
Seeing the photo of the fairy grass, Sawamura Rongjun remembered who this man was?
also remembered the memories of Feilian University.
