Chapter Twenty-Four: Sawamura Education Student

"Qingdao High School, it's really bad luck!"

The superintendent of Didong University showed a bit of envy in his eyes.

Although in the past few years, the enrollment work of Qingdao High School has not been very smooth. Not to mention the top geniuses in the country, even the top geniuses in the Tokyo area can't be selected by Seido High School.

Therefore, although Seido High School has not been able to enter Koshien in the past few years, everyone's evaluation of Kataoka Supervision is not low, and he is stunned to maintain the competitiveness of a wealthy university with a group of talented second-rate players.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

No matter how good your ability to be an overseer is, there are some things that you can't help.

It's like the head coach of the Chinese football team, whether it is domestic first-class or international-class, has invited a lot, and the results have not gone up.

It is already remarkable that Superintendent Kataoka was able to do that kind of thing under the constraints of such objective conditions.

Now he is also bitter, and the enrollment work in the past two years has been amazingly smooth.

Baseball is a nine-man sport, but when it comes to which player is the most important, there is no doubt that it is the pitcher.

When attacking, the pitcher is only 1/9, which is nothing to say, it is the same for players in any position.

But when it comes to garrisoning, it's very different. In the average team, the importance of pitchers can account for 60 or 70 percent of the entire team. Even in some weaker teams, the importance of pitchers will even account for a terrifying seventy or eighty.

Like the Akagi High School baseball team, which dominated the country twice in middle school, their pitchers accounted for more than 95% of the team's defense.

To put it mildly, if you take out the ace pitcher, the rest of the Akagi High School baseball team is nothing at all.

Even in the well-established colleges and universities, the importance of pitchers is generally higher than 60 or 70 percent of the team.

If it's a team with pitchers as the core, the importance can reach about 80%.

So Seido High School is really lucky, originally because of the lack of pitcher power, there is no way to break through the blockade of Tokyo.

Last spring, with the joining of the Great Demon King Sawamura Eijun, Seido High School got the most important piece of the puzzle.

It was also from that time that the good of Seido High School emerged one after another.

Dawn in the valley, spring market in Ominato, and hideaki in winter......

Plus the original Miyuki, Kuramochi, Hakushu......

In this way, a division of kings was formed.

Feng Shui takes turns, no matter how powerful the king's division is, the time they can hold on to it is only two or three years.

After all, the players have a limited amount of time to stay in high school, and they can't stay in school forever.

Someday they will grow up, go to college, or even go to professional baseball.

By that time, the dynasty of Seido High School had passed.

See if a team can maintain the rhythm of the king all the time?

The most important thing is to see the new life of this team!

The nine players standing on the court at Seido High School are mainly second- and third-year players, and yes, yes.

But at the same time, two newcomers were added, and most importantly, the strength of these two newcomers was good, especially a pitcher.

In this way, even if Sawamura Eisan and the others graduate, there is no need to worry about the grades of Seido High School.

The inheritance of the kings has been passed down, and I believe they will get better and better.

This kind of situation can't help but be envied by other coaches......

The eyes they looked at Wang Xi were full of all kinds of complicated emotions.

"Why isn't it our team?"

If it was before, the supervision of Didong University would never have such a luxury.

The ace pitcher on their team, now in his second grade. Theoretically speaking, there will never be a particularly top-notch pitcher entering Didong University at this time.

Geniuses are always arrogant, how can they willingly sit on the cold bench for a year and a half?

But now, the facts are happening right in front of our eyes. The ace pitcher of Qingdao High School is also a sophomore. And the status is much more stable than the ace pitcher of their Didong University.

Under such circumstances, Wang Xi was able to join Qingdao High School, and naturally he could join Didong University.

At this time, the superintendents of Didong University felt that their intestines were about to repent.

On the other side, the superintendent of Pharmacist High School, Thunder City, is not much better.

He grinned, but it didn't reach his eyes.

I originally thought that they had done a very good job in recruiting students this year, but I didn't expect that there was still a big gap compared with Qingdao High School.

The biggest thorn in West Tokyo now looks even trickier than ever.

Why did he join Yakushi High School in a moment of confusion at the beginning, if it was in another area, it would obviously be much easier for him to enter Koshien.

"Hey, only a genius who grows up in such a harsh environment can go further in the future."

Muttering to himself, he set his sights on his son.

Boom City!

In any case, for his own son's strength, Thunder Zang is 100% trusted.

Keep moving.

Your opponents have become more terrifying than ever.

Everyone in the audience was surprised by Wang Xi's performance, and even the commentary on the Jingu Stadium kept repeating Wang Xi's name at this time.

The last time I saw such a great newcomer was Sawamura Eijun in their team.

I didn't expect another such player to emerge from Qingdao High School now.

This feeling is very strange, and it feels like witnessing the cultivation of a great demon king again.

It's no wonder that the narrator is so excited.

Outside, Wang Xi has been praised as a flower, and in the rest area of Qingdao High School, it is very bland.

They were five points ahead, and they didn't see much joy.

Especially the 23rd grade contestants, their faces were surprisingly solemn.

The pressure that newcomers bring to them is unimaginable.

It's just that the players will be like this, and even the supervisors and coaches are very cold.

Wang Xi obviously won the timely hit, but when he came back, he was met with such a cold reception.

No matter how mature the guy is, he feels very bad at this time. Without saying a word, he sat in his lounge chair and waited for the seventh game to begin.

In the first half of the seventh inning, it was the turn of Qingdao High School to attack again.

The first to stand in the strike zone is still Yoichi Kuramochi.

"Hip hop!"

Ignoring the low-pressure atmosphere in the rest area, Kurachi stood in the strike area and looked full of fighting spirit.

His previous performance was not disgraced, and naturally there was reason to be relaxed.

On the other side, in the rest area, Sawamura Rongjun, who was originally sitting honestly on the rest chair, suddenly beckoned to Yuuki Shoji and Wang Xi.

The ace pitchers in the team are the soul of the team, and take the initiative to invite them.

Wang Xi and the general did not show the strength of the prickly junior, and honestly came to Sawamura Rongchun's side.

"How does it feel?"

Sawamura's question looks clueless.

But Wang Xi and Yuki Shoji instantly understood, and they knew what Eijun Zemura was asking.

It's the pitching of the Amaku Ko Saint who is asking!

"Very strong!"

The words of the formation of the shoji are very concise, and he has the demeanor of his brother.

When I said this, my face flushed.

I don't know if it's shame or not admitting defeat.

Sawamura nodded, then looked at Wang Xi.

"The straight ball is sharp and the slider is tricky. Especially the new longitudinal slider, if you combine it with a regular slider, the effect will be doubled......"

Wang Xi was like facing an exam, answering very carefully and seriously.

The friends in the rest area unconsciously pricked up their ears.

Even Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai unconsciously noticed the situation here.

"Observe carefully!"

Sawamura Rongchun nodded at Wang Xi and continued: "You relied on your own strength to hit the ball just now? Or is it blind? ”

may not have expected Sawamura Rongchun to ask so bluntly, and the expression on Wang Xi's face was obviously stunned. But he replied very honestly.

"Both."

"Because I knew from the beginning that I couldn't hit that kind of vertical slide, I started with a normal slide that I was aiming for......"

In the end, what Tianjiu Guangsheng threw over was also an ordinary slider!

Of course, this ball was played by Wang Xi by his own strength!

But he avoided the vertical slide at the beginning, and it was okay to say that it was blind.

"That's pretty much what I thought."

Sawamura nodded approvingly.

There were several friends around him, but there were jealous looks in their eyes.

The sliding ball of the Heavenly Pure Saint can definitely be compared to the change ball of Sawamura Eijun's level 2.

The reason why Sawamura Eisumun's ball is not easy to hit is because he knows a lot, not that his ball is more tricky than Akuru Kosheng.

Through the previous fights, it is not that the hitters of Qingdao High School have not aimed at the slide ball.

However, the results were without exception.

None of them were able to hit!

With such a tricky ball path, Wang Xi can actually rely on his own strength to hit the ball out.

The strength of this new student may have surpassed that of most of the old students on the scene.

"The opponent in front of me can be ranked in the top 20 in the whole country. He is one of the top pitchers in the country! ”

Sawamura Eijun seemed to be stating something that was very ordinary, and his tone was unhurried.

"We're not the same as before, we're the ones who dominate summer and spring in a row. If you are not sure, hit the pitcher's ball out. I'm afraid it's hard to get the back number! ”

These words are not only like educating Wang Xi, but also like passing on information to other teammates.

Everyone looked at Sawamura Eijun thoughtfully.

"In the whole country now, the teams that can really pose a threat to our Qingdao High School can be counted on ten fingers! Every ace pitcher in these teams is more powerful than the Tianjiu Guangsheng in front of him. If you don't have the confidence to play against such an opponent, it will be difficult to win the back number in Qingdao High School! ”

"You've all faced off against your opponent three times, the most recent one you have swung a bat, and you're more than five centimeters away from someone's pitch. Wang Xi was dealt with twice, and the last time he was beaten out by luck. Plus your lack of experience in garrisoning......"

"If I were the superintendent of our Qingdao High School at this time, I would never hand over the back number of the main force to you. Although your striking strength is no worse than that of some of the main forces, there are too many deficiencies in garrison. If it weren't for the fact that the striking power was so dazzling that I couldn't give up with the team, I wouldn't even have placed you in the main team. ”

Hearing Sawamura Rongjun's words, both Yucheng and Wang Xi had a very shocked expression.

Miyuki next to him scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

He knew that Sawamura Eijun wanted to take the opportunity to teach a lesson to his elementary school students, but wouldn't this statement be too harsh?

Overall, the performance of these two primary school brothers is still very good. Even if it is like Sawamura Eijun said, there is no way to become the main force for the time being. But it should be okay to be a rotational player......

Sawamura ignored the expressions on the faces of the two men and continued.

"There are three months left before the start of the summer tournament, if you want to be an indispensable part of the team. Just think about what you can do for the team now? ”

"Try to climb up, I'll stand here waiting for you."
