On the last day of the training camp, the round-robin match of the three teams of Qingdao, Daocheng Industry and Xiubei began. According to Kataoka's arrangement, the match with Inagi was played by Kawakami Senpai, and neither side showed their full combat power.

As one of the main pitchers of the First Army, relying on a special pitching posture and good ball control, Kawakami Senpai suppressed Inagi's line within 3 points in eight innings.

In the second half of the eighth inning, when Aodo was guarding, the tired Kawakami Senpai tried his best to throw a shot from the corner under the strong pressure of the Inaki hitter, but it was still counted as a bad ball.

'Damn, what a terrible sense of oppression. ’

"Phew!"

"Second baseman!!"

The swift ball quickly passed through the guard of second baseman Haruichi Kominato, and Kawakami panted and tried hard to throw another ball, but it was hit far away, just in front of the Shibuyani guard.

He trotted a few steps, took the rebound ball that fell to the ground, and then passed it hard, but unfortunately, the long distance was enough for Inami's third-base runner to easily return to base.

may be due to excessive fatigue, and the seniors of Kawakami, who originally suppressed Inashiro to play well, lost five points in one breath in this game.

The OB seniors who watched the game on the side also looked at the situation in the stadium worriedly.

"It's okay, throw so many points in one go."

"Yesterday's game was also very thrilling, the summer competition is about to start, and today's opponent is not an ordinary practice opponent, it is the biggest competitor in the same western district, Daocheng Industry, and the leading supervision office Kunitomo Hiroshige."

"If you lose the practice match, you will have a lot of pressure in the official competition, after all, we lost to them last year."

"In the past five years, Inami and the three high schools of the city university have completely monopolized the appearance quota of Koshien, and according to the content of this competition, I think there is no hope for this year."

Because Rong Chunzheng, who couldn't play, happened to hear these words on the periphery, his expression was distorted instantly,

What is this uncle talking about? ’

Rong Chun was bubbling with black air all over his body, standing behind these uncles gloomily exuding cold air, and the uncles who felt something were frightened by Rong Chun's black face when they looked back.

"Ahh

"Scared me to death, a year? Don't stand behind you. ”

"Ahh

"Isn't it! Such a little ghost. ”

"Well, who told you to go back yesterday, I remember what this guy's name is, Sawamura..."

"Eijun Sawamura, my name is Eijun Sawamura."

Rong Chun looked at the uncles who were still gossiping in front of him with anger,

"Don't uncles have to go to work? Why come and watch it every day, in other words, just watch the game quietly, don't talk too much. ”

"Huh? Little ghost, we're old OB, and we're elders, give me honorifics obediently. ”

"Humph!"

Rong Chun, who was not convinced, naturally ignored his words,

"You guys look good, Kawakami's seniors are very powerful, now it's just because he's too tired from the training, and he'll cheer up after a while, and he'll be a hitter with three strikes."

The noise outside the stadium also attracted the attention of the people in the stadium, and the seniors who did not play looked at Rong Chun, who deliberately did not let Rong Chun into the rest area, look at Rong Chun, who deliberately did not let Rong Chun into the rest area, have a black line on his face,

'This guy can really toss, and he can make trouble anywhere. ’

Anyway, in the morning, it was like a war, pestering the superintendent, asking why he could go on the field to guard, but he couldn't, and he was annoyed enough to make the superintendent choked, in a sense, Rong Chun was really strong, and even the superintendent couldn't cure him.

In order to comfort Kawakami's seniors, Chris seniors deliberately called a pause and asked Kawakami seniors about their situation, and when they heard the noise from the audience, both of them laughed helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Kawakami, for letting you play in such a noisy environment."

"It's okay, the official competition is much more lively than this."

"That's good, don't care about what the people around you say, to be honest, it's beyond my expectations that you can suppress it at this level, but I believe that the next beaters can also solve them."

Chris's senior's gaze was gentle and firm, and Kawakami's senior, who was originally a little timid, gradually calmed down under such a gaze, and Kawakami's seniors seemed to understand why Tamba-senpai and Rongchun liked Chris's seniors so much.

He is handsome and gentle, his strong strength will not put pressure on people, and his gentle personality allows Chris's predecessors to tolerate all, such a good catcher squatting in front of him, people can't help but want to dedicate their best pitching to him.

"Yes, Chris senior, I'll do it."

Chris senior covered his mouth with a glove, laughed softly, his eyebrows were dyed with a gentle smile, patted Kawakami's shoulder and went back.

Just when Kawakami's seniors were about to pitch, the quarrel between Rongchun and Uncle OB was not over, and the voices were getting louder and louder, but Kawakami's heart was very happy.

He knows very well what the people around him say, although his posture is special, he has no major characteristics, and his personality is not tough enough, he is always timid and cowardly.

But this is the kind of self that is also recognized by his peers, and this is the kind of self that will be looked at with admiration by excellent genius juniors, and this is the kind of self that is also worthy of his argument for himself.

What reason is there not to forge ahead, his back is not handsome and strong enough, and how to be an example for his juniors, although Xiao has not thought about the position of the trump card, but that does not mean that he will let the juniors ignore himself to fight for the trump card.

"Anyway, I'm also the No.2 of Qingdao! ’

"Bang!"

"Good shot."

A very sharp outside corner kick with the edge of the outside corner rubbed in, this ball can be good or bad, but because of the previous excellent ball control performance, the referee unconsciously favored the throwing side.

Chris senpai felt the ball that went into the glove,

Well, it's back a bit, so the next shot is here. ’

"Bang!"

"Bad balls."

An inside corner high ball very close to the hitter scared the hitter to lean back, and just when he was unsettled, the next outside corner ball flew over.

"Bang!"

"Two good shots!"

Seeing that although he was frightened by the inside corner high ball, he had already moved closer to home plate, Chris smiled slightly and played the next code.

"Bang!"

"Three good balls, hitter out!"

"I used an outside corner kick from the corner to get the hitter unconsciously close to home plate, and then ended with an inside corner kick that was inconvenient to shoot near the knee. Chris of Qingdao is still so good, and he feels like he doesn't leak. ”

"Hey~ That's Chris, a famous iron catcher in Kanto."

The two of them couldn't help but discuss when they saw such a catcher.

"Ah, because you were injured before you and Inashi, so you two haven't fought each other, Chris is very powerful. To be honest, I'm a little glad he was injured at the time, otherwise it wouldn't have been clear who would have won or lost. ”

Narumiya squinted at the catcher at home plate on the field,

'Can this man be stronger than one?' ’

"Senior Ya, what are you talking about, isn't it true that you and Ichi are not as good as him? After all, you were deceived enough by Ichiya last year. ”

Hearing Cheng Gong Ming's unhesitational revelation, Harada Masako's face darkened a little.

"Ming, I said this in the hope that you can warn this man well, he may be a strong opponent in our Xia Jia qualifiers, and Qingdao doesn't know who it is this year."

"Yes, yes, I'll pay close attention to him, but I don't think he'll be better than Ichiya, just with his body that hasn't healed for a long time, it's not as good as Miyuki Kazuya."
