Chapter 4: Semi-finals (Tribute to Rayann)

PPS: To tell you the truth, when I saw the name Rayann, I was pleasantly surprised. This name Little Bear really doesn't have any impression, and it should also be a newcomer friend. Being able to meet a new friend makes Bear very happy. Later, I took a look at his fan value and realized that it didn't seem to be a new friend, but it was relatively low-key before. I was curious to check the meaning of this name from Du Niang, and found that it was a mask brand. Damn, this is advertising! I didn't expect that a small street like ours could be mixed up to this point. It's a little exciting to think about. Okay, without further ado, I will solemnly tell you a little secret. Ask for subscriptions, recommendations, clicks, favorites, and rewards!!!

Seido High School's opponent in the semifinals was the city university's junior high school.

Among the several wealthy families in Western Tokyo, Seido High School and the third high school of the city can be said to have the deepest fate, and they have played against each other three times in this year.

Last year, too, was the spring competition, and Seido High School was the Kanto Tournament that stepped on the shoulders of the city's junior high school and made it all the way.

In that encounter, Qingdao High School can be said to have defeated the third high school of the city university.

The second meeting between the two teams was last fall, in the final of the play-offs.

Seido High School also encountered the third high school of the city university, and after a fierce battle, Seido High School finally got a step ahead of its skills and obtained the qualification to enter Koshien.

Counting up, the two teams can be said to have a deep hatred.

Now in the semi-finals of the Spring Tournament, the two teams have met again.

This has to be said to be a very wonderful fate.

But in the real world, this kind of thing is actually unavoidable, when there are several such strong teams in a region, it is inevitable that the strong teams will collide with each other.

If there are two teams that are particularly strong, then it is even more logical that they will meet.

Regarding the information about this opponent, the players of Qingdao High School are actually already familiar with it, but they have nothing to prepare for.

On the night before the competition, Superintendent Kataoka specially called the players together for a meeting.

This is also the practice of Seido High School, and before each competition, the contestants are gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Qingdao High School has long been prepared to deal with the countermeasures of the city's junior high school, which in itself has nothing to say.

The key is the arrangement of personnel.

Supervisor Kataoka put a lot of thought into this matter, and finally decided to send the team, which is a relatively strong lineup at this stage.

Two newcomers came on at the same time.

Wang Xi and knotted.

Both of them held positions as outfielders, with Wang Xi replacing Tojo in the midfield, and Yusei replacing Aso in the left field.

For Tojo, this was the first time. Originally, he thought that his main position was still relatively stable, although in terms of blows, he didn't dare to pat his chest and say that he was stronger than those two newcomers.

But when it comes to garrisoning, he should be a lot better than these two newcomers.

But apparently Kataoka does not value the defensive ability of this game, but more on the effect of the strike.

Because in today's game, the man he sent on the pitcher's mound was Sawamura.

In today's game, Eijun Sawamura started again. If there are no accidents, this game should have him finished.

"Do you give it your all?"

When Miyuki saw the lineup, he was also secretly tongued.

Except for Tojo, who was replaced, almost all of the other players were regular anchors of Seido High School.

Superintendent Kataoka, this is going to show the carriage and horse to fight each other hard.

It's not that Qingdao High School is afraid of each other, but the opponent is the third high school of the city university, which means that in the summer, they are likely to meet again.

In this case, fighting with the opponent to the end is not a good thing for Qingdao High School.

"Aren't you trying to make Qingdao High School a legend in private? Since it is a so-called generation of legends, it is unforgivable to lose a game. Is it possible to lose a few more games? ”

This is the first time that Superintendent Kataoka has exposed his ambitions in front of the players.

"If you want to be a legend, you have to put on a legendary performance. After each goal, we must take into account the situation on the field and take corresponding measures according to different situations. You showed me everything you learned in Seido High School over the years during the competition. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

What else is there not to understand about this? Superintendent Kataoka has already said this.

The friends felt that there was a stream of blood flowing in their chests.

The surging mood could not calm down for a long time.

"Of course, don't underestimate your opponent too much. Although we have won once before, the current senior high school is a completely different team from the previous one. ”

Watanabe didn't know when he stepped forward and held a baton. Begin to recount the information he had previously detected.

"Although the tactics of the three high schools of the city university have not improved much. But the degree of tacit cooperation between them is completely different. The previous ace of the third highest level in the city, Tianjiu Guangsheng, had only cooperated with his teammates for just two months, but now, they have cooperated for more than seven months. ”

It was calculated from September, and now it is April.

The other party has indeed honed for seven or eight months.

With the amount of training in the third high school of the city, what should be honed, I am afraid they have already honed it.

'You can see it from their previous games. Unlike us, who had been smooth sailing, the third high school of the city university had fought against two very strong heroes before. ”

Nioh and Inagi Industries!

Nioh's strength itself is very strong, not to mention Inagi Industry.

You must know that Daocheng Industry is the only team that Qingdao High School is afraid of. Even they lost to the third high school of the city university in the first round.

"The other party is strong!"

Putting together all the words Watanabe has said, it is actually the above four words.

Despite this, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are still eager to try.

It's because the opponent is strong that the game is interesting, isn't it?

Otherwise, the other party is really weak like a rookie, and Qingdao High School can't lift his strength.

That kind of crushing game, they play too much.

"Alright, go back and rest early and get ready for tomorrow's game."

After Superintendent Kataoka gave the order, the players of the Seido High School baseball team all left the conference room.

The main players are thoughtful one by one.

Tie Cheng and Wang Xi, the fighting spirit of the two people is very high.

Sawamura took the initiative to find them and patted them on the shoulder.

Don't look at these two people are Sawamura Rongchun's juniors, but they are both a little taller than Sawamura Rongchun.

It's awkward to pat them on the shoulder.

The two turned their heads and looked at Sawamura Eijun seriously, and they didn't say a word.

"Tomorrow is a great opportunity to test your strength."

Sawamura didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point.

Verify!

These two words deeply touched Wang Xihe's nerves.

Although they have been doing well before, it feels like the situation has not changed.

Obviously, in terms of blowing, he performed better than other seniors. However, the eyes of the people around them are still very normal.

It's as if they can do that, but for granted.

It's a very complicated feeling.

The two have never found the root knot, where? Unexpectedly, Sawamura Rongchun took the initiative to come up and wanted to solve their doubts.

Sawamura Eijun left with a slight smile after saying that.

Tomorrow is a good opportunity to test the strength of the two.

For the current Seido High School, not everyone has the opportunity to take on the challenge.

Only the truly top powerhouses are qualified for this.

Similarly, if you want to gain a foothold at Seido High School. It's not enough to crush those weak opponents.

You must show your own characteristics in the real battle of the giants.

Tojo and Maezono climbed to their current position by stepping on the shoulders of the ace pitcher Mukai Sun, the ace pitcher of Teto High School.

Similarly, Hakushu, Kominato, in the process of becoming the core and main force of the team, have also produced results in such key games.

This is the real reason why they have become the main force of Qingdao High School.

Otherwise, it is not enough to show strength in a downwind race.

There are many such players, Seido High School.

It's not good who to choose, why are you?

And the three high schools of the city university and the ace Tianjiu are such opponents.

It's only in a game like this that you really show your performance. The two have a chance to take a core position from the other players.

There is no way to explain that some things have to be understood by themselves after all.

But Sawamura believes they will understand one day.

It's just that it's hard to say whether that day will be tomorrow or not.

Under the same sky, the indoor practice field of the city's junior high baseball club.

Several rookie players were stunned to watch their seniors swing their bats.

"Although I have heard it for a long time, the amount of practice in the third high school of the city university is very amazing. I didn't expect the seniors to be so desperate. ”

"How many times a day do they swing their bats?"

Behind these newcomers, Tianjiu Guangsheng didn't know when he would be able to stand up.

"There has always been a legend in our city's junior high school. If the beater swings the baton 1,000 times a day, it will continue for a year. When you hit it, there will be a baseball sprite attached to the bat. ”

He said something serious, and several freshman elementary school students were also stunned.

"Oh Jiu, don't instill anything strange in the newcomer."

"We didn't raise this either, didn't the predecessors say it before."

"If there is, I'd love to see it."

"Damn, you don't have to charge movie tickets for daydreaming, do you?"

"Why do you want that weird thing?"

"If there really is a legendary baseball elf, maybe I will be able to hit the ball of the great demon king Eijun Sawamura."

……

The fighting spirit of the players was very high, and Coach Tahara, who was watching the practice, nodded secretly.

He was quite satisfied with the disciples under his command.

Originally, in the Nishitokyo area, Inagi Industrial High School was extremely strong. Now Qingdao has sprung up again......

The city is three high, sandwiched between two strong men. The days are getting harder and harder.

If it drags on any further, it may be difficult for him to maintain such a strong lineup as he is now.

You have to do something in the next summer tournament. Otherwise, they will be very problematic just for next year's enrollment.
