Chapter 18: Kataoka returns

A test for freshmen directly made many outstanding players start to emerge.

The quality of these freshmen is so excellent that even the current main force of Qingdao High School has to deal with it carefully.

If they don't know their main position, they are likely to be snatched away by these freshmen junior students.

Unconsciously, some spearheads of competition between old and new students came out.

If this had been placed in an ordinary ordinary school, the spearhead of confrontation between new students and old students would have been so fierce, and the fight would have started a long time ago. Don't look at the appearance of the island people who look very polite, if they really want to fight, they will not recognize the six relatives.

It is not uncommon in this country to have already won a place in Koshien, but has been disqualified because of a fight.

It may be difficult for the average person to understand the significance of this. Let's put it this way, in this country, players can participate in Koshien, just as in our continent players can participate in the NBA.

That is the supreme glory.

Because of the fight and trouble, this glory can be thrown away. It can be seen that this country is hidden under the appearance of kindness, and the ruthlessness in its bones.

Fortunately, the school spirit of Qingdao High School is not bad, and there is no such tradition.

The players can maintain at least one surface of peace with each other.

But the smell of gunpowder was already faintly burning.

There was not much communication between the two sides.

Most of the freshmen relied on their good strength and held back their strength, wanting to jump their seniors from the main position.

Others don't say it, those three catchers, looking at Yu Yuyuki's gaze, are very unfriendly.

Yu Yuki also complained to Sawamura Rongchun in private.

said that no matter how good the two elementary school brothers in Sawamura Rongjun's dormitory were, they didn't have any rebellious feelings. It's not like the one in their dorm room, staring at him like a wolf cub all day long.

Ever since Asada moved into the dormitory, he's been dizzy. Wang Xi was surprisingly polite, and constantly approached Sawamura Rongjun, discussing pitching with each other.

Whether the two are competitors or not, they genuinely love baseball in their hearts.

So soon they came together, and the relationship seemed unusually close.

Yu Xing looked very envious, he and the junior brother in their dormitory also played a position, and originally wanted to communicate with the junior brother, but the junior brother didn't appreciate his face?

Every time I saw Miyuki, I stared at him with the eyes of a little wolf cub.

A signal was clearly transmitted in Miyuki's mind.

They are enemies.

"Okumura's nature is not bad, but he was stimulated by it when he was in middle school. Pour him less chicken soup for the soul and it should be a better attitude towards you. ”

"As if you know him well?"

"That's it! You don't look at who I am? I'm known as the spiritual mentor of the juniors. ”

"Get out!"

The days passed like this, and the days passed in the blink of an eye.

Superintendent Kataoka, the pillar of Seido High School, finally finished his speech and recharged and returned to the team.

As soon as Kataoka returned to the team, the other three giants of the Seido High School baseball club gathered in his office.

Don't look at it as just a few days, there are a lot of things that have been accumulated.

"I received 14 requests for interviews before, and most of them were interviewed by Coach Ochiai. But there are some names to interview you, and some names to interview contestants? It's up to you to decide. ”

Minister Ota's face flushed with excitement.

Seido High School baseball team, but it's been a long time since there's been such a grand event.

It has to be said that being complimented is an addictive thing.

That's the case with Ota, when he is complimented by the reporters who interviewed him, he has nothing to say.

Soon, the little dry goods in his stomach had been wiped out.

After that, the focus of the media shifted to Ochiai.

Ochiai himself enjoyed it too.

However, he is not as real as Ota, he is cunning and cunning and has fought reporters for a few rounds, and the two sides have no winner.

In the end, all the problems were backlogged on Kataoka's body.

"We still have to accept the interview, we have dominated the country twice, we have already achieved the results we deserve, and the next step should be to consider the future development of the players themselves. Sawamura and Miyuki are not the kind of people who will flutter because of the interview. Pick a few influential media outlets and hold a press conference. For the time being, the list of participants will be confirmed. Miyuki, Kurachi, Hakushu, Maezoen, Sawamura, Akira Tsukiya. ”

Superintendent Kataoka didn't seem to be idle during this time, and he thought about a lot of things.

It is not difficult to see from the list he listed.

This is to create momentum for the front garden, Kurachi, and Hakushu.

Like Sawamura, Miyuki, including Akira Tsukiya.

Now there is no need to flatter reporters at all, and the reporters themselves come forward to interview.

Once they decide to join professional baseball, they will not worry about leaving home.

"Fame alone is not enough, if they really want to enter the profession, they must have a good performance. Now it seems that there is some hope! ”

Ochiai said, touching the mustache on his chin.

Although Kuramochi has such and such shortcomings, he has a specialty that cannot be ignored.

That's speed!

Any team needs such a player, and it is not difficult for Kuramochi to enter the profession if he wants to.

On the contrary, Hakushu and Maeen!

If it's a college draft, there's nothing wrong with them, but the professional draft seems to be a little bit less interesting.

There are hundreds of players with the same strength as them in the country, if not thousand.

And why do people choose them?

"We still have time, don't we?"

Kataoka said decisively.

Now these guys are not the same as before, they are third-year players.

Their perceptions and feelings will also be different.

In the process of learning baseball in high school, there are two phases when players improve rapidly.

The first one is the first half of their year of high school.

The progress in strength will reach an appalling level, and most of them will have a reborn growth.

The second is the half year from the third year of high school to the summer.

At this time, the players will clearly realize, what is the last time?

In the first major game of the summer, a defeat means that everything is over.

Kataoka believes that his disciples will perform even better during this period.

"Anything else?"

Superintendent Kataoka quickly made a decision on the previous matter and went straight to the next topic.

"After Koshien in the spring, we were invited to play by a number of teams. These teams, who used to ignore us, are now enthusiastic one by one. ”

Takashima said angrily.

I don't know what kind of wind these teams are pumping.

"And rightfully so!"

Ochiai explained by touching the mustache on his chin.

"After all, the meaning of Koshien in summer is different from that in spring. Influence is one of them, and summer is the last time. Everyone's goal has changed, and the first task is not to dominate the country, but how to break into Koshien? Most of the people who invited us were teams from the Fierce War Zone, right? Troll them, there shouldn't be! ”

Rei Takashima looked at Ochiai in shock, as if he had discovered a new continent.

The guess was not bad at all.

"Our goal is to be the same, to put these practice tournament invitations as far as possible next. Before the start of the summer tournament, I will expand the team of the first army and let everyone take turns to play. ”

In this matter, Superintendent Kataoka has obviously already made a decision.

Ochiai glanced at Kataoka in surprise.

It seems that this training has helped Kataoka a lot. His decision was decidedly decisive.

Moreover, they are all very sound decisions.

After the reporter interviewed and practiced for the game, the topic naturally shifted to the freshmen and the remaining two spots.

"Is there anyone who is better this year?"

Hearing Kataoka's question, Coach Ochiai laughed confidently.

"After you came back, you didn't recruit the two players you eliminated before back to the first team, I knew you were playing a new life. But according to school tradition, they need to run for a week first. Therefore, the specific test was not done, and there was no way to judge the strength very clearly. ”

"Let's start the second round of testing tomorrow!"

"In such a hurry?"

"Forget about the third round, from the fourth round, I want to use it to hone the freshmen. If there are a few more players like Sawamura, Akira Tanaya, and Haruichi Kominato like last year. We're making a lot of money! ”

Superintendent Kataoka apparently made a profit during last year's incident.

This time, regardless of whether there are dates or not, he will hit the three poles first.

Ochiai smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Superintendent Kataoka said it was very light, but it was not that easy.

A player like Sawamura Eijun and Gu Xiao is completely unattainable.

And Kominato Haruichi, a genius with a good sense of the ball and an extraordinary defense, is also rare.

How could it be casually let Qingdao High School run into it.

He just closed his eyes and recalled the freshman materials he had seen earlier.

Ochiai couldn't help but doubt himself.

It doesn't seem completely impossible, after all, the strength of this year's freshmen is a little terrifying.

Especially Wang Xi!

Although it has not been tested in detail, Ochiai's eye for seeing people is not bad.

That player's strength is already very mature, and he can even directly impact the position of the main force of the first army.

It's just a pity that his position is pitcher.

And judging by his previous achievements, it may be difficult for him to change his position easily.

Otherwise, he should be able to come in handy directly.

Don't know why? When I thought of Wang Xi, another Chinese figure also appeared in Ochiai's mind.

That's Chen Ping!

Although at first glance it is the most typical layman, but that speed.

If you use it well, you should be able to reap the effects of Surprise Soldiers!

If Ochiai was the coach, he might really use Chen Ping as a secret weapon.

However, the supervisor is Kataoka, and his criteria for selecting players are different!
