Chapter 43: Main vs. Substitute

"The finals of the Tokyo Spring Tournament, Nishitokyo Seido High School vs. Nishitokyo Yakushi High School, have officially begun!"

With the commentator's order, the two sides of the game rushed to the center of the court.

"Please advise!"

"Please advise !!"

They were divided into two rows, standing opposite each other and bowing to each other.

It's kind of said hello.

The greeting is over, and the official game begins.

The first to attack was Yakushi High School, and the first Yakushi to stand in the strike zone was Kazuma Akiba.

On the side of Qingdao High School, standing on the pitcher mound is Wang Xi, a first-year newcomer.

In the rest area of Yakushi High School.

Thunder turned his head and told the players to enjoy the game, and after speaking, he turned his eyes to the rest area of Qingdao High School.

Superintendent Kataoka!

Among all the overseers in the country today, the one with the most limelight.

Although it is not in terms of experience, qualifications, or personal skills, Kataoka does not rank in the top 10 in the country.

But people are lucky!

I don't know where to recruit a group of geniuses, and they have successively dominated the summer Koshien and the spring Koshien. In history, there are no teams that have been able to achieve hegemony in Koshien, but there are definitely only a handful.

If nothing else, just rely on this achievement. Superintendent Kataoka will have enough capital to go down in history.

Not to mention that with the current lineup of Seido High School, their glory will continue.

"Even I'm a little envious!"

Opening his drooping eyelids, Bang Lei Zang said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

To say that he doesn't envy Inspector Kataoka at all would be a lie. Not to mention anything else, the presence of Sawamura Eijun and Yukiichi alone is enough to make people salivate.

Even if it is a wealthy team, it is extremely lucky that such a casting partner can find one, and it is simply unreasonable to be able to match it.

To be honest, Bang Lei Zang is actually very satisfied with the team he is currently working on, and the players are also competitive.

Even if this team is dragged across the country, it can be played and killed on the field in Koshien.

Chunjia only made it to the quarterfinals, and there was a big luck factor.

In terms of strength, Bang Lei Zang believes that even if they don't have the strength to win the championship now, they have the strength to reach the top four.

It is said that with such strength, it is absolutely enough to dominate one side.

But they were born at the wrong time and ran into Daocheng Industry and Qingdao High School.

Forget about Daocheng Industry, when this summer competition is over, Daocheng Industry will also enter a weak period.

They themselves did not completely collide with the golden period of Pharmacist High School.

The core main players of Daocheng Industry are all current third-year students, that is, led by Narimiya Ming, Shirakawa, and Carl Ross.

And the core main force of Yakushi High School is mainly concentrated in the current second year, except for the ace pitcher is Sanada Shunpei in the third year, all the other core players are all in the second grade, led by the monster Thunder City, as well as Mishima and Akiba.

In this way, the two teams can lead the way for an era.

There are occasional collisions in between, and the collisions are not so intense.

But Seido High School is different!

Among the third-year players on the Seido High School baseball team, there is Miyuki Kazuya, the country's No. 1 catcher.

Among the second-year players is the great demon king Sawamura Eijun.

In other words, there are at least two years left in the golden age of Seido High School.

These two years were the strong period of Seido High School.

Similarly, these two years are also the golden period of Pharmacist High School.

The two strongest teams in the golden period also met together and were grouped in the same region.

This has to be said to be a great sadness......

"Bad luck!"

I don't know how many times I complained in my heart, but Bang Lei Zang couldn't even suppress this sentence in his heart and said it directly.

Qingdao is definitely the last team that Yakushi High School wants to encounter at this stage, and there is no one.

If the two teams are full of firepower, it is simply the strength of the attack.

Yakushi High School is really not scared.

Although in the previous encounter, they did not score in the hands of Sawamura Eijun. But now, almost nine months later!

The strength of the players has also improved a lot......

Now they are absolutely confident that they can take the points from Sawamura.

The main reason why there is no confidence to defeat Qingdao is that he has no confidence in his own ace pitcher.

Sanada Shunhei is certainly a good pitcher, and he barely has the strength of the top pitcher in the country. It was even called the biggest gain of Yakushi High School by Bang Lei Zang.

But relying solely on him, he wants to restrain the line of Qingdao High School.

I'm afraid it's not easy.

Bang Lei Zang originally had such worries, and after watching the competition between Qingdao High School and the third high school of the city university, his worries were magnified countless times.

Tianjiu Guangsheng and the three high schools of the city cooperated with their hands, and their iron walls were garrisoned.

Definitely not under the garrison of Yakushi High School.

Although Yakushi High School is now confident that he will win the score from Sawamura Eijun, it is only a few points.

As far as Thunderhide's own feeling is concerned, it won't be more than three points to survive.

And that's with a bit of luck......

If you're unlucky, you're likely to only get one point, or even not a point.

And the garrison, it looks like it's going to lose seven or eight points.

What does this mean?

This shows that if Yakushi High School wants to defeat Qingdao High School in a head-to-head head, it must at least score eight or nine points from Sawamura Eijun.

Huh.

Even Thunder hid himself, and he didn't feel that this joke was funny at all.

From Sawamura Eisun's debut to the present, he has played so many games, and he has not lost so many points in total!

Why did Pharmacist High School score so many points in one go?

"It looks like we're going to need new strength, not just for the pitcher, but also for the line."

Thinking of this, Thunder Zang glanced up at the cheering phalanx of Medicine Master High School.

At the very front of that phalanx, sat a tall figure.

Just as Thunder Hide was deep in thought, the showdown on the field had already begun.

Kazuma Akiba played against Wang Xi, a super first-year student at Qingdao High School.

For Wang Xi, the scene in front of him is also very novel.

In fact, he had long expected that Superintendent Kataoka would definitely arrange another opportunity for him to pitch.

After all, he performed so well before, as long as Inspector Kataoka is not blind, he will definitely be sure of his strength.

Only by measuring the limits of his strength will Superintendent Kataoka know what kind of competition he will need in the future.

Wang Xi himself has imagined many scenes, what kind of scene will Superintendent Kataoka send himself on?

But he never imagined that Superintendent Kataoka would make himself appear on a stage like the finals of the Spring Tournament.

Although, as is customary, this game was also a substitute.

But the other party is a pharmacist high school after all!

A team that has a good chance of going all out for the title.

How dare Superintendent Kataoka, so relieved and bold to let himself play?

As far as Wang Xi is concerned, if he is replaced as the superintendent of Qingdao High School, he will never send a newcomer to the field on this occasion.

Before going on the field, he took a deep look at his own superintendent.

Wang Xi secretly decided in his heart that he must perform well on the court. We must not live up to the expectations of Superintendent Kataoka......

There is an old Chinese saying that a soldier dies for a confidant.

Today's Wang Xi has such a feeling.

He has secretly made up his mind to give his full strength in today's game.

"Whoosh!"

Pulling away from the stance, Wang Xi threw the ball directly!

Akiba on the strike zone, looking at the flying baseball, did not swing the bat directly.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

If it's a newcomer to Seido High School, Akiba Kazuma won't care too much.

There is still a big gap between freshmen who have just entered high school and those who are really high school standouts.

Exceptions are not absent! Like the great demon king Sawamura Rongjun, when he was just promoted to high school, he already had good strength.

But that kind of situation is so rare that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as minimal. No matter how cautious Akiba is, it is impossible for Akiba to be wary of everyone to that extent.

But the newcomer in front of him is different.

Wang Xi, once as the captain of the treasure island team, led his brothers to dominate the world.

With such an experience, no matter what Wang Xi's current state is? Autumn leaves are treated with care.

"Good shot!"

The first ball was caught by Ono steadily.

Wang Xi leads with a good goal!.

Wang Xi, who was leading in the number of balls, did not show much joy on his face.

On the contrary, the expression on his face was a bit dignified.

The opponent was more difficult than he had imagined.

Despite the shot just now, Akiba didn't swing his bat, and it looked as if he was doing nothing.

But the layman only sees the excitement, and only the insider can see the doorway.

From the posture of Qiu Ye preparing to strike just now, Wang Xi judged that this guy had a general plan.

A leaf knows autumn.

What he saw was only a little bit of skin, but Wang Xi could generally estimate the strength of the team in front of him.

Their strength is very strong!

This kind of terrifying sense of oppression has never been encountered by Wang Xi in the World Series.

"Are there so many monsters in the island country?"

The doubts in Wang Xi's heart flashed, and then he was relieved.

It should be a relationship of age.

Even if they are already the strongest players of their generation, because their bodies have not yet fully grown, there is still a big gap in their overall quality.

In this case, the freshmen who have just entered high school are compared to the old students who have honed their skills for a year or two.

The gap is also clear at a glance.

Isn't he a freshman who has just entered high school?

The knot in my heart was untied at once.

Wang Xi is no longer entangled with the other party, and his strength is incomparably strong.

But show 100 percent of your form and face your opponent head-on.

"Ping!"

The two entangled several balls in a row, and finally Akiba grabbed a ball that was easy to hit and swept the ball out.

"Safety!"

By the time the white ball came back, Akiba had reached first base safely!

The first hit on the first stage was knocked out by the opponent...

As far as the beginning is concerned, Qingdao High School can be regarded as a disadvantage today.
