In Saturday's game, the starting pitcher was determined in the joy of Eijun's big noise and Shibuyani's joy, but in fact, when it was discussed in advance, Kataoka Supervisor and Chris seniors and Miyuki seniors were very entangled.

Originally, it was just to let the two first-year pitchers feel the horror of playing from all over the country, and let them realize their own shortcomings. But Rong Chun's performance in this training camp was too good, so everyone was a little undecided.

After careful consideration, Superintendent Kataoka chose Shibuya as the starting pitcher. On the one hand, the superintendent wanted to see how Shizutani, who had not pitched from the pitcher's mound for a week, would perform, and Osaka Kiryu's swing was a big test for Eijun.

On the other hand, if Rong Chun can suppress Kiryu's line in the later stage, then when the Qingdao line starts to break out in the later stage, it may be very likely to overtake, of course, this is the best result everyone expected.

When the players of both sides wanted to look back in their respective rest areas, the supervisors of the two schools successfully met and exchanged the list of players, and the supervisor Kataoka, as the host, took the lead in speaking.

"Superintendent Matsumoto, I'm sorry to trouble you to come here today, the summer competition is about to start, so let's have a good game."

Superintendent Matsumoto looked at the list of players he had just exchanged and said meaningfully,

"Good game? But the starter you're sending out is a first-year, so I think you're going to make adjustments before the summer games. It's no wonder you want to try all sorts of things. But.... Sending a first-year rookie is like dealing with us Kiryu, so he must be a pitcher with endless potential, but there is still a secret weapon that he doesn't want his opponents in the same district to know about being exposed in the game. ”

Superintendent Matsumoto stared at Superintendent Kataoka with a smile, trying to analyze the young superintendent's intentions from his expression, but for a masquerade paralyzed man who rarely saw other expressions even his students, the result was naturally a failure.

Even an old fox like Superintendent Matsumoto has to admire the determination of this young superintendent, but Superintendent Matsumoto doesn't have to know the answer, after all, if he fights with Seido, he is also in Koshien, and the premise is that Seido can stand out from the fierce battle zone of West Tokyo.

Superintendent Matsumoto, who gave up after watching it for a while, shrugged his shoulders and chuckled,

"Either way, we're going to have a good time playing in the summer."

The players on both sides lined up in two teams near the pitcher's mound and stood upright, and at the referee's signal, both sides bowed and saluted.

"Please advise...."

The game is officially underway, and the players then return to their respective lounges.

The first attacker in this game is Kiryu Osaka, and the Qingdao defense. Rong Chun stood outside the rest area and grinned, looking at the happy valley on the pitcher's mound with a hideous face, and made a strange sound of "Mumu..." in his mouth, and finally shouted unwillingly to the valley who was obviously thinking something,

"What's the matter, I'm scared so soon, even if you're blown up and I'm still here, then just replace me now."

"Kula..."

Seeing such a disgraced Rong Chun, Kominato Haruichi hurriedly stopped him, hoping that the rival school didn't see the scene in front of him.

The pitcher's mound also heard Rong Chun's loud voice, and thought of what the overseer said to him when he practiced throwing in the cowshed this morning,

"Descending valley, it doesn't matter if you are blown up today, the training camp must be very tiring, you don't have to blindly pursue results."

'Blown up? What nonsense is this person talking about. ’

Shigu thought a little annoyed, he hadn't pitched on the pitcher's mound for a whole week, but he didn't plan to let others hit his own pitch, coupled with Rong Chun's provocation now,

Shut up, I'm not afraid, and I don't want to be replaced. ’

Finally pulled Rong Chun back to the rest area and pressed it to the chair, and lowered a quiet pitcher mound, Rong Chun began to stare at Supervisor Kataoka behind the back of the supervisor again, and exuded a 'I'm very unhappy, why didn't I start first'.

Xiao Minato Harushi really felt that he was about to be scared and cry by Rong Chun, and for a while he didn't know whether to let Rong Chun provoke and lose face outside, or let him stay in the rest area and stare at the supervision. Superintendent Kataoka and Deputy Minister Takashima, who were following the event, naturally didn't have time to pay attention to Eijun's little temper.

Deputy Minister Takashima looked at the valley who was already ready to pitch and thought with some concern,

Kiryu High School Osaka, the runner-up winner of last year's Koshien Summer Tournament, has an average back muscle strength of more than 180 kilograms, and is said to be the best in the country in terms of striking firepower. The fatigue accumulated during the training camp, coupled with the pitching form of relying only on a straight ball, will be a tough game for the current valley down. ’

Just as everyone thought, the first ball on the field was struck, and after the first batter successfully hit base, the state of the valley fluctuated, and the pitch that was originally intended to be shown to the superintendent and Miyuki seniors became more and more uncontrollable.

Several hitters hit in a row, and before the first inning was over, Osaka Kiryu had already scored two points, and the more and more anxious valley fell, and threw a consecutive four bad at the five bats, and when it was already full, Osaka Kiryu squeezed back one point.

The OBs who took advantage of the weekend to watch the game were also a little nervous,

"What, squeeze back a point."

"What's going on?"

"The pitcher's condition is too bad, and that's the third point."

"Speaking of which, no one wants to hit that high straight ball at all."

Rong Chun, who made a temperament in the rest area, also quickly stood up and came to the fence, frowning, although I learned about Kiryu Osaka from Chris's seniors yesterday, and understood that Shibuya might lose a few points today, but didn't expect Shibuya to not even hold out in the first game?

Standing on the pitcher's mound, he was very irritable, and the ball he threw had no tail energy at all, and the ball speed could not go up.

"How's that first-grade ball?"

Superintendent Matsumoto asked, touching his chin like a laughing Maitreya Buddha. The batter who came back with a point thought about the pitch he faced before and said,

"The ball speed is not bad, but the difference between good and bad balls is too obvious, it is not difficult to hit his ball, it should be very easy to attack."

Hearing this, Superintendent Matsumoto thought of the information exchanged with other schools before, Qingdao High School is undergoing intensive training during this period of time,

"Even if the other party is in a bad condition, you don't have to show mercy to your subordinates, just beat them until they faint."

"Yes!"

"I don't care, Superintendent Kataoka, don't look for me if your secret weapon fails." ’

Successive hits and four bads fueled the momentum of the opponent's rest area, and Tsugu ushered in another onslaught, a powerful pitch bounced past Tsurugu's left foot, and the slower Valley's one beat could only be allowed to bounce into the distance.

The senior Ryosuke who was guarding in the rear quickly filled the gap in the vacancy of the valley, and stopped the ball in the exclamation of everyone, and the senior Kuramochi who had been prepared for a long time also called,

"Ryosuke-senpai...."

The two people who are full of tacit understanding are not allowed to say too much, after Ryosuke senior pounced on the ball, he did not change hands and threw the ball directly with his gloves to the hands of the second base filler, after the warehouse senior received the ball, he gently stepped on the base bag, jumped high, and the baseball passed over the head of the runner to the second base to the first baseman to form the senior's gloves.

"Block.... Blocked!! The midfielders landed and hit a double kill, how did he catch that ball. ”

Rong Chun in the rest area was also excited, pulling the fence and shaking,

"Flying... Kuramochi-senpai: It turns out that you can not only run on land. Anyway, how did Ernie sauce stop that ball, it's too strong, see it, everyone from Kiryu, Osaka, this is the iron wall of our Qingdao Road. ”

"Well done, Ryosuke Senpai."

"The pair of partners between the two games is simply invincible."

Kominato Haruichi also looked at the tacit couple, thinking of the embarrassment when he was shouted by the supervisor before, and thinking of the predecessors of the front garden who went to swing the stick together last night, and once again deeply realized what his brother said.

"Qingdao is not an easy place."

The second tour that finally won the double kill also successfully stopped the offensive of Osaka Kiryu.,On the way to the rest area,Kuramochi seniors are still complaining.,

"Ah~~ The body is so heavy..."

"Everyone's pretty much the same."

'Comforting' Kuramochi senior's Ryosuke senior, patted Kuramochi senior's abdomen with gloves not lightly,

"Ahem...."

The face of the lower valley who came down from the pitcher's mound was also a little lighter,

"Hahahaha, the garrison saved your life."

The senior Miyuki who was chasing behind him did not hesitate to hit the valley, and the valley lowered his head without saying a word, because he knew this kind of thing himself. Seeing such a valley drop, Miyuki's smile did not decrease,

"I see that you are in such a situation today, it is good to control the loss of points within ten points."

The simple and easily deceived valley was hooked by such a simple agitation method, and said menacingly,

"I... No more points will be dropped. ”

Yu Xing looked at the still strong valley "poof" and said with a smile, Rong Chun's anger that happened to see this scene came up instantly, pulled Yu Yuyuki's collar and raised it, his hands kept shaking,

"Ah~~Ah~~"

"What are you laughing at in the game, is it good to help him with the ball, just like Chris was before."

Miyuki, who was suddenly lifted up by his juniors, was in a cold sweat,

"I said, why are you mad? Wasn't you just shouting to replace him? ”

"Ah, that's right."

When Rong Chun saw the hero's return, he quickly put down the Miyuki Kazuya in his hand, brought the water up one cup at a time, and handed it to the two travelers who had made great contributions, ignoring the bad glasses.

"It's amazing, seniors, I'm stunned, I'm so moved, there is such a guard guarding behind me, sprinkle, seniors, drink more water, replenish your physical strength....."

The two partners, who were choked by Rong Chun's compliments, quickly took the water and waved his hand to let him leave. Rong Chun turned his head and looked at the valley that was competing with him outside the rest area, sighed, and brought a glass of water.

"Here you go, the opponent's offensive is so strong, it's not easy for you to throw."

Seeing Rong Chun, Falling Valley silently restrained his momentum, took the water cup but didn't drink it, seeing him like this, Rong Chun probably understood his thoughts,

"What about the bad state today, because of the fatigue of the training camp? The seniors trained better than us, but they still didn't make mistakes. I found it all in the rest area, don't you think you're pushing too hard today? Even if you throw lightly, you should have 145 kilometers, and the harder you push, the stiffer your shoulders will become, and the throwing posture will be deformed, so that's why it's like this. ”

Rong Chun has some hatred that iron does not become steel, in Rong Chun's opinion, he is not the only one who has lost himself to become the first to be beaten like this, so unwilling.

"Come here, sit down, I'll help you massage your shoulders, relax, and it will be more comfortable to pitch later."

Except for the Kuramochi seniors who have gone to the strike area, everyone else is paying attention to the first-grade pitcher duo with the rest of their eyes, originally thinking that if the valley is thrown like this, Rong Chun will laugh at him well, but it turned out to be like this, how to say it, a little moved.

And Kuramochi's senior, who was standing on the left strike zone, looked at the slightly vicious pitcher on the pitcher's mound, and thought with a smile,

This pitcher's eyes are too fierce. ’

Seeing the opponent's ace throw a good shot at him,

"Hahahahaha, a good ball must be hit."

The senior Kuramochi who laughed and waved the stick was shocked by the blow and even lost his signature smile.

"Bah.... Bang"

'It's heavy. ’

Kuramochi senior's ball did not hit far, but rolled towards the direction of third base, Kiryu's third baseman picked up the rolling ball with an easy face, and when he threw it in the direction of first base, he found that Kuramochi senior had run far away, and quickly passed the baseball in his hand, and it was almost a few tenths of a second apart, and Kuramochi senior was out.

"The ball on the front of third base almost missed....."

Kiryu's player looked at the man who was unfortunately out of the game with a look of disbelief.

"That's, isn't that guy a Scud?"

Kuramoto's predecessors are very unwilling, and it's obviously a little bit worse.

"Damn, it almost turned into a hit."

Ryosuke senior, who has always been pestering, is still working hard in his own way at this time, although the opponent's ace ball is fast and heavy, but Ryosuke's senior still relies on his excellent ball sense, entangled the opponent to be anxious, and successfully selected the four bad.

He's got a heavy ball, and since we're all too tired to move, we're going to have to drain the opponent's pitcher's stamina." ’

The three-batter Izuoshiki senior roared angrily and hit the ball into the infield to roll the ball, and ran to first base with a red face, but unfortunately couldn't get to base. But taking advantage of this rolling earth, Ryosuke's seniors easily went to second base, and his heart was very happy.

'Good point. ’

The members of the Second Army who were watching from the side were also discussing this ball,

"Even if you swing the stick with all your might, there is still a way to push it to the right, this is the gap between Ah Chun's predecessors and the front garden."

"It's annoying you!!"

Just when everyone was still discussing the blow of Isashiki's seniors, the most reliable man in Qingdao stood on the strike zone with four sticks, facing the national-level opponent in front of him, his expression was calm, and then he swung the baton on the first ball,

"Phew!"

"Knock~~"

"There was .... Left fielder home run to the wall for a well-timed hit. ”

"It's worthy of Ah Zhe, it's really too reliable."

The overseer on the other side was blue in the face because of the blow of the seniors,

'Oh no, this person is completely different from the other people's rank, you must not go head-to-head with them.' ’

The five-batter Masuko seniors continued to form the offensive of the seniors, and the game was a strong swing, and the baseball was played high, and everyone was watching the ball, and finally it was caught by the pitcher not far from the pitcher's mound, and the pass to first base was successfully blocked.

"It's a shame that we only scored one point in this game."

"But his barrel is terrible."

"I've never seen an infield fly so high."

Qingdao's attack was unfortunately over, and before Shibuyu stood on the pitcher's mound for the second time, Rong Chun grabbed Shibuya's arm, looked at him seriously and said,

"Don't forget to take a deep breath..... Good pitching requires good posture to support it. If you can't make it, what about me, ahhhh Sure enough, I'll play this game. ”

Quickly pulled back his arm from Rong Chun's hand and said to the pitcher,

"Don't."
