Between the third and fourth rounds, there was still only two days of rest. www.biquge.info In order to regain his strength, Ichihei Fukushima hardly participated in any training.

And because of the slight injury to his left leg, even the basic physical exercise to maintain his physical condition was not carried out much.

"Fukushima-senpai still has to start in the next game?"

For Thursday afternoon's practice, Li Yuanrang's training menu was also relatively relaxed. In between two exercises, he went to the sideline lounge and chatted with Fukushima, who was sitting there looking at his materials.

"Probably, after all, the other party's line is still a bit of a threat."

The opponent in the next game, Higashimurayama Gakuen, has also played three games before, scoring more than five points in each game. In the last game, including the play-offs, a total of 11 points were scored.

"Isn't the injury on the leg in the way?"

"Rather than worrying about this, I care more about the recovery of physical strength."

With only two days between the last two rounds, Fukushima's fatigue has not had time to ease.

"The interval between the fourth and fifth rounds seems to be shorter. It seems to be a middle day? ”

Li Yuanrang asked.

"Well, there's only one day off."

"Since the next opponent is not a seeded team, in order to break through in the fifth round, why don't you let me partner with Yabe in the next match. I'm confident I can hold on to the score. ”

Since he started as a catcher, Li Yuanrang will think more from the perspective of the whole team.

This may be because the catcher is the only position on the pitch to dominate the game. The players who have taken on this position have a somewhat "supervising person on the court".

"You have so much faith in Yabe?"

Indeed, as a pitcher, Akio Yabe is really not oppressive.

"I'm confident in our line."

Li Yuanrang has studied his opponent's match records. He feels that although the offense of Higashimurayama Gakuen is a certain threat, the pitcher and defense still seem to be relatively weak.

In the first few games, there were more points scored and more points conceded.

Don't say it's the last four-party practice against the private sector. In the second war, he faced the Metropolitan School, and also lost as many as six points, and finally won 8-6.

In the next match, Lee Wonrang is confident that he can score enough points from his opponent.

"But our game line is not neat."

Fukushima pointed to the players on the field. Yamaba, a second-year student, wipes his nose while practicing.

"It seems to be sick. It shouldn't be better before the weekend. ”

Fukushima said.

Yamaba fell asleep directly in the seat of the bus after the last race.

It happens to be under the air conditioning outlet. Sudden cold and hot will cause a cold.

With the addition of Fukushima, who is going to rest on the sidelines, there are two vacancies in the starting list for the next game.

Donald Hirata could fill one of them. And the other......

"Why don't you let Tian Gu try it first?"

Tian Guwu was an outfielder when he was in elementary school, and it shouldn't be a problem to let him replace Yamaba Mori left outfielder. But the strike side doesn't know if it can still restore the courage of the four batters back then.

What is more important is whether they can convince Tagu to play in the hot summer.

"I heard that the weekend was cloudy, and it wasn't so sunny."

The task of negotiating with Tian Gu fell on Li Yuanrang for some reason.

"But it's more stuffy on cloudy days, and it's easy to sweat."

"You're going to sweat even if you sit in the lounge for two hours. And it's boring anyway if you don't have a computer. ”

"Then let me guard first base, I don't have to run on first base."

"You haven't practiced first base, have you?"

"I don't believe you can let me try."

In this way, Tako was pulled onto the field and stood in the position of first baseman.

Coach Aragaki was in charge of playing the coaching stick to test him.

After a few back and forth, there was nothing wrong.

Tian Guwu, who has received baseball training since childhood, has actually very solid basic skills, and many of the guarding actions have become the memory of the body.

However, after the entire garrison test was done, Tian Gu himself proposed that it was better to guard the outfield.

"Bending over is more tiring than running!"

Tian Guwu, who lacked exercise for three years in middle school and became a computer nerd, is now in a much worse physical state.

Although in professional baseball, the first baseman tends to be the least active guard position on the field.

But in the amateur competition at this stage of the university, because there are the most defense opportunities, the number of outs is also the most. The first baseman's ability to guard is actually highly valued.

Tian Gu took the initiative to give up now, which made Li Yuanrang breathe a sigh of relief.

……

There isn't much time left for the adjusted starting nine to grind in.

The four-round match was played on Saturday morning.

"It's Tachikawa Stadium again."

After coming to the court, Li Yuanrang sighed.

"Because we're on the schedule of the seeded team."

According to the schedule of the competition, until the quarterfinals, the matches of the seeded teams in this division will be held at the municipal Tachikawa Stadium. In addition, the Peace Gakuen, which defeated the seeded team Akikawa, will use the rest area on the side of first base for the rest of the game.

Although there is no home and away game in student baseball. However, being able to use the rest area on the first base side still feels like a home advantage.

Another advantage of the home team, the "back attack", can be obtained, depends on the guessing results of the captains of the two teams.

"It looks like luck has returned."

After guessing with the opposing captain, Ichihei Fukushima said this to his teammates.

Losing to his opponent in the last round was his first recent defeat in Chaiquan.

And in today's game, the Peace School once again got the right to attack.

As a result, the players of the Peace Academy, who were first responsible for defense, began to conduct adaptation training on the field.

"What is this Tian Gu wearing today?"

Li Yuanrang, who was standing next to home plate, pointed to the outfield and asked Akio Yabe, who was on the pitching task today.

"Isn't that just glasses, he always wears glasses. It's just that today it was changed to a sports model. ”

In the team, in addition to Yabe, Tako is another player who wears glasses. But today the pair of glasses looks a little different.

The shape is more sporty, and the lenses have a silver mirror reflection.

"Yabe, haven't you considered changing to those glasses?"

In fact, Li Yuanrang felt that Yabe's sports glasses would be of positive help to the game.

The black-rimmed glasses that Yabe is wearing now seem to affect his vision.

Not only that, but it's fine when you're in other positions. In the past, when Yabe took off his mask every time he took off the ball as a catcher, Lee was worried that his glasses would fall off.

"I can't wear sports glasses at this power."

Yabe said, pointing to his glasses. Just by looking at the thickness of the lenses, you can feel the difference in prescription with other people's glasses.

"Then I have another question, how did you manage to not take off your glasses every time you take off the Catcher's mask?"

"I've got a secret, look here."

Yabe walked up to Li Yuanrang and pointed to his glasses to show Li Yuanrang.

An elastic rubber band is tied to the temples of the arrow.

"This is my homemade sports glasses."
