Chapter 32: The First Practice Match (Part 3)
After Seido High School won the national hegemony, the lives of every player in the baseball club were affected to a greater or lesser extent.
Originally, the coaching staff was still very worried about whether it would have a bad impact if this continued. After all, the contestants are still some bloody teenagers, if they are touted for two sentences, they will start to float unconsciously, so what's the point?
Minister Ota even suggested that it would be better to find a psychologist to give each player psychological counseling.
Even Coach Ochiai said that psychological counseling is very important.
After winning the championship, it is not without teams that sink directly in the fall or the following year. Of course, the third-year graduation is a reason, and the players have to guard against it if they don't adjust their mentality well.
After all, it is human nature to be accustomed to flowers and applause, and unable to adapt to boring training.
On the contrary, it is Kataoka Superintendent, who is relatively bland and does not take it too seriously. He was very confident in these disciples under his command.
Actually, it's okay.
Sawamura is experienced, has seen all the winds and waves, and it is impossible to have a problem with his mentality.
Yuyuki and Hakushu are not the kind of people who are arrogant when they are proud.
As for Cangzhi, the uncle himself thinks that Lao Tzu is unparalleled in the world, and he also thinks that the limelight is not enough, how can he be satisfied?
There are no problems with the main team, and most of the other players don't even have experience in Koshien, so maybe it's really floating there?
Only if they have really fought on the field of Koshien, they have the possibility of floating,
The only one who is a little unstable is Xiao Tsukitani, who made him famous in the arena of Koshien, plus the praise of the people around him. He does have a bit of a mentality problem.
But in the team, there is a super big man in Zecun, even if he is a little fluttery, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
In the team, training is the same as always.
After winning the national championship, it is the first time that Ochiai has seen a team that can maintain such a stable mentality.
"If such a team can't win the championship, is there any reason?"
Sometimes, he also makes such feelings.
The mentality is stable, and the training on weekdays is the same as always. Although everyone's life has been affected a little, it is not much.
In this way, Qingdao High School successfully completed the replacement of the old and the new.
Of course.
Although it only took a week for Qingdao to form a very good team, this team has not been tested by the competition.
Although Qingdao High School is very popular, there are countless teams waiting to find him to play practice games.
But the time is not right.
In September, the people of Seido High School are quite idle and have nothing to do, and as the overlord of Koshien, they do not have to participate in the qualifiers for the Tokyo Autumn Tournament.
But that's not the case with the other teams, they all have to play in the qualifiers, and it's a round-robin tournament.
In other words, before the final result came out, they had to prepare for the competition, and they didn't have time to play a practice match against Qingdao High School.
Sawamura even instigated Kataoka to overseer Kataoka and sent an invitation to the pharmacist.
Superintendent Kataoka's brain twitched, and he agreed.
It's just that this invitation was politely declined!
The pharmacist also has to play a round-robin match, and their group is still very bad, and the pharmacist is in a group with the black Shikan, which is not weak.
Sawamura originally thought that with the strength of the pharmacist, it was impossible to care about the Black Scholar Pavilion at all. Unexpectedly, the thunder was very cautious, saying that the strength of the Black Scholar Pavilion was very strong, and they had to go all out to make it possible to have a long and short relationship with the Black Scholar Pavilion in the case of a broken boat.
"It's not at all like what Uncle Raizo would say."
Sawamura really guessed correctly, this set of rhetoric was naturally not said by Thunder Zang, but their principal personally grabbed the knife and replied.
The exact words of Boom Thunder Zang were.
"Is Lao Tzu's brain pumping? Before the Qingdao competition, we also deliberately asked them to see our strength. ”
The main reason for playing a practice match with Inagi is to increase the self-confidence of the players. In the style of the pharmacist, if they are full of confidence and go crazy, it will be difficult to defeat giants like Qingdao and Daocheng in a smooth game.
Fundamentals are not something that can be cultivated in a short period of time.
Even if he has such a good card as Sanada and Thunder City in his hand, if he is not careful, it will be difficult for the pharmacist to have a chance to enter Koshien.
This place in Tokyo is too evil.
It doesn't mean that if you work hard, you will definitely get results.
Finding a suitable partner for practice has become the biggest problem at Seido High School right now.
Although the third-year seniors have graduated, they have been concerned about the formation of the new team. To put it bluntly, I can't let go of it in my heart, even if they have a good ending now, but their feelings for the team are deeper than anyone else.
Captain Formation overheard the overseer haunting him while accepting an invitation to a professional baseball draft scout.
So an idea took shape in his heart.
This is an afterword, so let's not talk about it for the time being.
After the continuous efforts of Kataoka Supervision and Coach Ochiai, in the second week of school, I finally helped Seido find a practice match. The opponent is a strong school in Chiba Prefecture.
Chiba Prefecture doesn't have to go through a round-robin preliminaries like Tokyo, so the time is also relatively free.
The coaching staff took this practice game very seriously.
I designed a lot of tactics, and then I made adjustments, including substitutions, and even follow-up shots.
As a result, with Sawamura playing soy sauce throughout the game, the team defeated the opponent 13:2.
Sawamura didn't have a chance to play at all, and Akira Shibuyani held out four innings, and Kawakami ended in five innings.
Because of four consecutive bad breaks, Xiaogu guaranteed the opponent a point. Kawakami was attacked by the opponent at the last moment and lost a point.
And Sawamura didn't take the opportunity to play at all, the original plan was to let him continue to throw, but looking at the miserable score on the court. In the end, Superintendent Kataoka failed to be ruthless, and when the other party had already fallen off the cliff, he made up for it again.
People come all the way to make a trip, and it's enough to lose it, so what do you want?
It is said that the new team is relatively weak.
Are you kidding?
In one game, he scored thirteen points in nine games, is this kind of attack weak? (Practice matches, there is no restriction on ending early.) )
The game was won, and it was a big win, a super big win.
But Kataoka Supervisor and Coach Ochiai, no one can laugh.
The reason why the game has such a result is not that the freshman Aomichi has been strong enough when Sawamura is not playing. The most important reason is that the opponent is too weak.
After Tsukitani Xiao won a home run, the opposing pitcher was directly stunned, and he couldn't find North at all.
That's why the Qingdao players won hits one after another.
This victory is not how strong Qingdao really is, it's just that their opponents are too weak!
In fact, at this time, in a place like Chiba Prefecture, where can the eliminated team be determined to be stronger.
"It's hard to find an opponent for practice matches!"
The coaching staff collectively sighed.
Just when the coaching staff was at a loss for the opponent to practice the game, another news quietly came.
The program team, the planner and director of 'Baseball Rising Stars', came to the school to make arrangements.
