Chapter 4: Bathing (Part 1)

The players who returned to Qingdao have not recovered from their previous defeats.

One by one, they rushed to the court, the strength room, the secluded bridge.

As if to deliberately punish himself, he began a crazy self-destruction.

"Overseer?"

Minister Ota asked worriedly.

The players looked like they were crazy, and this state of affairs worried Minister Ota.

Superintendent Kataoka didn't see any look in his sunglasses.

"Let them be, they need to vent their excess energy."

Twelve rounds of the game, looking intense. But with the exception of two pitchers, the physical exertion of the others was not significant. In this case, if the players are not allowed to vent their excess energy, something will happen.

Whether they can have such an attitude, at least it shows that they are unwilling.

"I'm going to the principal's office."

was given high hopes, and finally stopped in the top 16, Kataoka also felt a little unable to explain. But the group of death, as it was, is like this, and now this team is not strong enough to crush everyone.

Supposedly, at this time, Kataoka didn't have to explain anything to the principal.

But Kataoka himself is not a person who likes to escape, and he has not been able to lead the team to the end, and he always thinks that he is to blame. During the training, he didn't want the school's leaders to dictate, but at this time, he thought he still needed to give an explanation to the school.

"I'm sorry to live up to your expectations!"

In the principal's office.

Superintendent Kataoka bowed ninety degrees and said to the principal and dean.

"The players performed very well, and it was mainly a problem with our intelligence and reconnaissance mistakes and my tactics."

"Oh, don't say that."

The screeching dean hurriedly helped Kataoka up.

The chubby principal is also flattered.

The impression left by Kataoka on the two of them before was that they were very arrogant and domineering. Originally, they thought that Kataoka must be even more unruly after gaining the hegemony of the country. Unexpectedly, he is still the same as always, with a humble side.

After failing, he also came to ask for sin.

From this point of view, Kataoka is still very good.

He is a graduate of our Seido High School.

The two of you enlightened Kataoka with a word, and a loss can't say anything, and if you don't participate in Koshien in the spring, you won't participate. As long as the players can keep up their form, and in the summer, they can win back.

In the summer, win it back!

Although both of them spoke very politely, they also put forward the school's requirements.

In his hand, he pinched the big demon king Zecun, the genius catcher Yu Yuyuki, and the good hands found from all over the country. If you can't get into Koshien in a row, the school will not be able to explain it. In the past, there were no good players in hand, and it was just that he couldn't enter Koshien for six consecutive years. Now that he has such a good lineup in his hand, Kataoka has entered Koshien two or three times, but it is just to complete the Keane mission. If you can't help Seido High School create a dynasty, it's hard for the school to be satisfied.

"yes, we'll win it back."

Kataoka said categorically.

Sawamura had told him these words before, but now that they came out of Kataoka's mouth, they were even more firm.

This point, in fact, is the same in the hearts of all the players of Qingdao High School.

In a bathhouse dedicated to the baseball club.

Sawamura Eijun lay lazily in the bathing pool, his eyes slightly closed.

The friends have all gone to training, and they still have unused physical strength in their bodies. Sawamura, on the other hand, doesn't have that physical strength.

After the game, he felt that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Now, it's natural to get some rest.

The game is over!

Clenched his fists, Sawamura's face flashed with unwillingness.

Although he knows that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, after every defeat in a game, Sawamura will still be unwilling.

As soon as the game ended, Sawamura's mind couldn't hold anything, and some of it was the previous game.

It was like a movie, and from the first game, the whole game echoed in Sawamura's mind.

Especially the bottom half of the ninth inning and the last twelfth inning.

In the second half of the ninth inning, Sawamura Eijun actually had a chance to score points. He calculated everything, but he didn't expect Cheng Gongming to go to home plate to fill in at the critical moment.

He should have calculated himself and would take this opportunity to steal the base!

"What a horrible guy!"

In his previous life, he was plagued by injuries, and Cheng Gongming's final achievements did not reach the peak.

But I have to say, this guy is really a terrible guy.

His insight into the game is even better than Sawamura's.

That time, it was not unjust to be touched.

Of course, there are also factors in Sawamura's physical exhaustion. Otherwise, with his physical characteristics, if his physical strength is sufficient, Sawamura may not be able to avoid the gloves of Narinomiya Ming's touch.

And then there's the twelfth game.

By the end of the twelfth inning, Sawamura had lost three effective bases.

After he was physically exhausted and the ball was knocked out, the fielders helped him a lot, and with their cooperation, they finally stabilized the situation and did not give Inagi a chance.

At the beginning of the twelfth game, the player on the court was Carl Ross.

Although Sawamura's physical strength was on the verge of limit, by the time it came to the twelfth inning, he still didn't think he would lose.

But in this game, Qingdao seems to have reached the limit.

First, Carl Ross landed a blow with little force and landed directly in front of third base.

Steady!

At that time, Sawamura thought that there would be no problem in taking down Carlros.

But the third base of the building, I don't know what's wrong, the soul wanders out of the world.

It's almost the same mistake as the previous Kanemaru.

Although later, Sawamura used a quirk ball to let Narimiya play a double kill, but in the end he did not escape the fate of losing points, and it was the same goal that made Carl Ross on base.

The aggregate score is 2:1!

This is the second point that Sawamura conceded.

"The team is still very immature in all aspects, and after I get into that state, the situation becomes uncontrollable."

Sawamura is reflecting on the reasons for the team's loss, but also thinking of ways to make amends.

The reason for the defeat is not difficult to find at all, after the formation of the new team, the serious practice game has not been played at all. Although the third-grade seniors were willing to help, they found a lot of problems.

But thinking that the game was won, the degree of reflection was not enough.

It's enlightenment!

It would have been nice if the game against the third-year seniors had ended up with a fiasco.

Sawamura blamed himself deeply.

If it weren't for the fact that he was happy to see the hunt, he would go all out to defeat the third-grade senior. That game, in fact, can make those players who have not participated in Koshien have a stronger consciousness.

"Poof!"

Just as Sawamura Eijun was deep in thought, a figure appeared in the quiet bath.

Has anyone come back already?

It's a bit crazy, but everyone has already played a very tight game, and Sawamura doesn't think they can train for long.

At this point, it's almost time for someone to come back.

Although this time is a little earlier than Sawamura imagined.

Opening his eyes, Sawamura looked at the figure who had just come down.

It was a face that was both strange and somewhat familiar.
