Chapter 218
"Why don't you tell Miyuki, Abian."
"But it's hard to talk in that atmosphere!"
"Now, Kudo, there's still a coach, I think it's better to wait until the conference is over!"
Since the team entered the autumn tournament, Abe, Kudo, and Higashio wanted to talk to the current captain Miyuki.
But there is always a bit of a gap between Miyuki, who has been in the first army since the first grade, and these members of the second army, so Ah Bian and they always can't muster the courage to go to Miyuki.
"I've felt this way for a long time, but lately it's even stronger, and the gap between us and everyone else's enthusiasm..."
Abian remembered that every time they had to get ready to rest, they could see people practicing their swings when they passed by the training ground.
There were still third-year seniors before, but I don't know if it's because of the relationship with the seniors who are in the lead, they can continue to work hard.
When the seniors withdrew and their second-year players became the main force, Abian clearly felt the gap with the people around him.
Unlike other players, they didn't come in through the baseball exam, and they were different from the students who came in specifically for baseball.
It's just that the learning atmosphere of Qingdao itself is not bad, and they like baseball to participate in the baseball club.
But for them, a baseball career would only exist in high school, unlike his teammates who were gifted and wanted to become professional baseball players.
It's just an ordinary high school student who participates in club activities.
Their baseball future is limited to watching Koshien or local games.
"Kudo, Higashio .... Is it really okay for us to do this? Keep staying in the team with that attitude..."
While Aodo was preparing for the next game, Inami was also preparing for the second game.
Owada looked around Inami's baseball training ground and was shocked by the number of spectators and reporters.
"There are still so many reporters who come to interview me."
"After all, it's a candidate for the winner of Tokyo, although we lost to Seido in the preliminary round of the summer league.
But they are giants themselves, and with the fact that they defeated Qingdao and won the national championship, everyone must be very concerned about the two old rival teams they will meet next! β
Like other reporters, Owada and Mine Fujio took a few photos of the training ground before heading to Inami's cowshed.
There, Inami's ace is doing pitching practice,
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"He's got a ball that runs."
"It seems that the fatigue of the summer has not had any effect."
"Well, yes, during the summer vacation, I didn't have a long rest, but I spent it in training and practice matches, and I didn't lose any points in the divisional preliminaries, and I was in such good shape, which is really surprising."
Owada and Mine Fujio are chatting about Narumiya who is in excellent condition here, and inside the cowshed, Tadano, the next catcher after taking over Harada, is also actively communicating with his ace.
"Senior Ming, next, please throw a speed ball and try to keep it as low as possible."
"I don't care, did you get it?"
Cheng Gongming tidied up the ground under his feet and glanced at the fields.
"Even if you catch it in the cowshed, it's useless if you can't catch the ball in the official game, you have to block the ball in front, otherwise it's really hard for me to shoot."
With Cheng Gong Ming saying one sentence after another, the weak little catcher has been faded by the blow.
The other pair of casters heard Cheng Gongming's complaints, and glanced at Tada with sympathy.
'Yi Hunt in the group preliminaries, he is still haunted by it, holding on to the point, and there are many fields. It's all about making you better..... Probably.....'
Another catcher's predecessor's encouragement to Tadano, Tadano couldn't feel it, and he hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Narumiya.
"I'm going to block it, even if it's broken."
For the average pitcher, it would be nice to hear the catcher say this, but who is Narumiya Naruto, who is the emperor of Tokyo, he is dismissive of such words.
"Who are you fooling, nonsense, who are you led to spoiled. Have you watched too many comic books, do you think you're playing games?
So didn't I say before that there is a limit to willpower alone. The first is technology, and with technology you will naturally have self-confidence.
Then you can control your will, what kind of spiritualism, willpower, the clichΓ©s of those who are not outdated and weak. β
Cheng Gongming retorted without hesitation, which surprised the reporters around him,
"Just a high school student speaks really sonorously and powerfully."
"Don't worry, you partner with me, even if you don't want to improve, you will improve."
Narumiya looked at Tadano and said with an arrogant face, it was his confidence and pride.
"Yes, but I still have the ambition to be a catcher."
Although he knew that what Narumiya said was right, Tadano still didn't want to admit defeat.
"Stubborn guy, it's really hard!"
"The way Narimiya-san leads his younger brother feels really fresh."
Is that leadership? β
In Feng Fujio's eyes, it looks like two children of the same age are fighting.
"There is no point conceded under the playing line in Didong, and the pitcher strength of Qingdao has grown rapidly, and he can achieve such results for the first time this season with an ace on his back, and his strength is very good.
However, on the other hand, Seido's team lacks the image of a strong game as before, but it may be more difficult to deal with than in the summer. β
The minister of Inami said to the overseer,
"Compared to future opponents, we must first prioritize the opponents in front of us, and if we don't defeat Ukumori first, there will be no future."
"Say... That's what I said, I have to win without a fight, I'm sorry. β
After the summer, the expression of the superintendent of the country became more and more serious. β
Just like the national friend superintendent said, both Qingdao and Inami are working hard to defeat the opponent in front of them.
In addition to the daily pitching training, Seido players are also engaged in guard training, anti-theft training, and base theft training.
And this training is naturally indispensable to Qingdao's Scud holding.
As a left-handed pitcher, Rong Chun has a big advantage in containing first base.
He glared at Kuramochi before pitching, and just as he was ready to pitch, Kuramochi took off.
"Stolen...."
When the baseball was thrown, Rong Chun felt bad, and then Kuramochi really went to second base.
"His start is still so amazing."
"How can you start so without hesitation, huh?"
He said that it is not just the feet, but the whole body. If it's a right-hand throw, he can still judge by his back. β
"Hey, it's too strong to learn at all, right?"
In addition to the discussion and envy of the other players, the coaching staff was also very satisfied.
"He's got an awesome foot and he's useful."
"After all, there is no low ebb in speed, and whether he has no way to get on the base will greatly affect how to attack next."
He's also good at ball picking, if he could have improved his basemaking percentage a little more. β
After that, because of Kuramochi's base, Rong Chun increased his vigilance and made sufficient preparations, and successfully deceived Higasa.
"You're too risky, Higasa. This is true for both the garrison and the bases. β
"Now."
"Damn!"
"But Sawamura's containment is really powerful, and the only ones among us who have really succeeded so far are Kuramochi and Hakushu."
Seeing the failures of his predecessors again and again, Kanemaru smiled maliciously,
"How can I say it, I feel even more unwilling to be held back by that stupidity!"
"Your bad face has come out!"
Tojo kindly reminded.
'I used Sawamura-san, who threw on the left, to practice stealing the base.,Saturday and Sunday is the second company commander.,So it's already expected to be against Kaminomiya.γ β
"Na, senior Kurachi, why do you succeed in stealing the base every time!"
Rong Chun asked a little unhappily, and was successfully stolen by the warehouse again, which made Rong Chun very puzzled.
"It's good to tell if the pitcher is pitching or pinning down from the body movements, and your eyes are not lethal when you are pinning."
"Lethality? What do you mean. β
"Well, I just feel like I'm not worried when you look at it, this feeling.
For example, when I was about to steal home plate at third base, Miyuki looked at me with that kind of look, as if to say, if you dare to move, you will be out, although I still succeeded, but that kind of look made people very stressful. β
"Hey~~~, what are the eyes..."
Rong Chun lowered his head and pondered for a moment,
"Thanks, Kuramochi-senpai, I see."
After getting the answer he wanted, Rong Chun left.
"I think it's not just because you succeed every time."
Yu Yuki said on the side, Cang Ji looked at him suspiciously, he didn't understand what Yu Yuki was talking about, well, it wasn't a good word anyway, so he didn't have the desire to listen to it, and left directly.
Miyuki, who was left behind, muttered to himself,
"Isn't it because Kuramochi is too familiar with Sawamura?"
Knowing Rong Chun's every move and knowing what he was going to do next, just like when he ate before, Kuramochi could always get the one Rong Chun wanted the most among the many seasonings, even if Rong Chun didn't speak.
As the competition approached, the managers also shared the information they had gathered.
Outside of training, everyone watches these materials and videos while eating.
When you sit together, you can always find blind spots that no one else sees.
Under everyone's concentrated discussion, I have a little understanding of the team of Qisen Academy.
Hearing everyone's heated discussion, Kudo, who happened to be sitting nearby, felt a little uncomfortable, and he stood up and prepared to leave first.
It happened that this scene made Aso see,
"Huh? Strange, don't you eat it, Kudo? β
Kudo, who suddenly became the focus, subconsciously said,
"Yes, I have some stomach discomfort today."
"It's really fake, the coach found out that he was going to be scolded again~"
"Kudo, look...."
Yamaguchi suddenly let out a voice, pulled his short sleeves to the top, revealing his muscle-filled arms, and showed off to Kudo,
"The senior in the palace personally taught me the results of fitness, and if I didn't force myself to eat more, I couldn't connect it, hehehe..."
"Oh~~, Yamaguchi, when will you be able to practice?"
Kudo watched his teammates talk back to training and somehow breathed a sigh of relief.
After dinner, the pitcher trio, who had all pitched to the full, finally had to meet on the playground and start the race.
"Senior Ah Xian, you still haven't rested~"
"No, you can rest first, Sawamura."
The two running people were still chatting over there.
"No, no, I'm totally OK."
"Me too."
"I'm still OK!"
"Me too."
Kawakami, whose physical strength is not particularly good, was pulled by Rong Chun to speak, and his brain gradually lacked oxygen, and in the end only that sentence remained.
The weakest physical strength gradually fell off before the valley was dropped.,In the emptiness of Rong Chun and Kawakami's chat.,Suddenly chased up from behind.,
"Huh!?" *2
"Ah, he's resurrected again, you hurry up and rest, Valley Terminator! ..... Senior Ah Xian, your face is so bad! β
Under the double shock, Rong Chun didn't know which one was better to take care of first, but the pitchers of Qingdao were one by one, and they really didn't admit defeat.
Ah Bian looked at these three people on the high road, you chase after me, no one is willing to give up, pondering, the reference book in his hand is also clutched tighter and tighter.
"What's the matter, so many reference books."
Miyuki, who came to inspect the pitcher, happened to see Abian and asked.
"Thinking about the exam so soon?"
"Miyuki?"
"Can I talk to you a little bit?"
"Huh?"
"Here you go, I'd like to ask you to scout on this match between Inami and Uhisamori."
Ah Bian took the book that Yuyuki handed him,
Unconfidently asked,
"Me?"
"Our game has collided with them, and I won't force you to go, but the Didong data fielders you have compiled find super useful.
If you can go to the scene and see it, you will definitely be able to get useful information, I think so. β
Ah Bian, who was asked by Yu Xing, was a little happy in his heart, and looked down at the book in his hand that read the autumn competition of the Qingdao Baseball Club, and nodded slowly.
"Speaking of which, what were you going to say at that time?"
"Huh?"
"It's in the classroom."
The day before yesterday, when the three of Abe, Kudo and Higao came to Miyuki and Kuramochi's class to say something, the squad leader of their class came to them with a list of graduation trips, so they were interrupted.
"No, it's not too important."
"If it's not important, let's hear it."
Miyuki felt that as the captain, if the team members had something to find him, he still had to communicate with him and talk about his heart or something.
"I... You know I'm not used to doing that right now. β
"Ah, that's right."
"I'm okay, no problem at all!"
Rong Chun gasped for breath, and at the same time, he was so strong, and when he saw Rong Chun Kawakami, who was not admitting defeat, he had to comfort him,
"I know, let's get here today!"
Seeing the pitcher trio finish their run, Miyuki smiled and instructed Kawakami.
"Ah Xian, I'll catch those two and take a bath later, otherwise they will just take a shower every time."
Miyuki's tone was full of ridicule and disgust, and Kawakami, the head of the pitcher trio, said he understood.
"I have...."
"I've got a good wash!"
What Tsugu wanted to say was preempted by Rong Chun, and the two of them looked at Yu Xing angrily.
"There are bubbles too...."
"There are also obedient baths! Impolite. β
"What's the difference between that and a crow crossing the water?"
"What does it matter, what about crows." Compared to the bird that was put in a cage and forgot how to fly, the crow is much happier.
Rong Chun's words made Kawakami a little surprised,
"The lines of a chic man~~"
"Anyway, how can Abian's seniors be with Yuyu's seniors, I advise you not to get close to him, he will be dyed black~~"
"Am I ink? Anyway, Ah Bian has something to say to me. β
Rong Chun's face was full of doubts, and then, he asked Ah Bian,
"Senior Abian, are you really looking for him? If it's a heart-to-heart talk, forget it, this guy has no heart, he's a stone man! β
"Hey~~"
Rong Chun's expression full of disgust made Yu Xing very helpless.
