Masuko's predecessor came back and saw Rong Chun, who was crying like a child, and stared at Kuramochi Yoichi in disagreement,

"As a senior, you can't always bully your juniors." ’

Kuramochi Yoyi looked aggrievedly at the senior of Masuko holding the note with a serious face, this time Rong Chun cried really not his fault, no, it seems that he was moved to cry, then he shouldn't be blamed, obviously it's this kid's own reason. In view of the usual holding, it is impossible for Masuko's predecessors to believe him, so he can only swallow this bitter fruit.

But for the sake of Rong Chun's Ernie sauce, if you dare to be depressed so easily next time, you will definitely be punished.

Rong Chun, who was comforted by Cangzhi, was in a much better mood, although he was still a little depressed, and he vented it all in training.

With the confluence of all the new students, the real test begins. Rong Chun saw the Gu Xiao who made him care about it very much in this ability test, and he unconsciously compared himself with him. As a result, Rong Chun lost to Xiaogu Xiao with a score of 113 in the long-range shooting competition, and Rong Chun, who did not admit defeat, was vicious all day long, thinking about how to surpass him.

"Moses, Moses, Grandpa Tanaka?"

"Well, what's the matter, Rong Chun, you still called so late." Some sleep-deprived elderly people yawned profusely.

"I met a guy who was super fast in Qingdao, it felt like 150 kilometers, and he was a first-year freshman like me." Although he saw it, Rong Chun's tone still carried a little loss and helplessness.

Grandpa Tanaka on the other side of the phone heard Rong Chun's unspoken feelings, and he discovered it when Rong Chun apprenticed with him to learn baseball, this sunny and cheerful boy, he didn't trust himself, although everyone told him that he was a talented person, but three consecutive years of a round of tours, three years of major tournament failures were imprinted in his memory, destroying his self-confidence, if it weren't for his positive and optimistic nature and the courage to pursue, Rong Chun may have been lost to everyone.

Now too much emphasis on his talent, on the contrary, will make Rong Chun feel that he is comforting him, then only....

"Eijun Sawamura, you need to remember the phrase 'hard work doesn't lie.'" , Whether you have extraordinary talent may be important, maybe you put in dozens of times the effort is not as good as others to temporarily cram, but are you ready to give up like this? There are many geniuses in this world, but they have no chance of achievement, and you, with the appreciation of Takashima-sensei, she stretched out her hand to you, you should firmly grasp the opportunity, there is no shortage of geniuses in the fierce war zone of Tokyo, but you don't have time to feel sorry for yourself, because there is no one who wants to survive there with his own talent, they are all working hard, and the original talent is not as good as others, so you can only work hard now in addition to giving up, only to work hard. Rong Chun, keep moving forward, and the road will appear under your feet. By the way, Rong Chun, I have made a new training plan for you, and I want to work hard to complete it. ”

Rong Chun, who hung up the phone, thought alone in the room for a long, long time,

"Mumm, sure enough, I still don't want to ......," Rong Chun opened the lid of the pudding, swallowed it in one go, puffed out his cheeks and chewed, and after swallowing, he calmed down,

"Let's find Koharu and Karima to train together today."

Coach Kataoka looked through the window at the dim and unknown place in the distance, where there were people training all the time, practicing non-stop every day, thinking about the recent game, and making a decision.

After the evening training the next day, Coach Kataoka gathered the second and third teams together and announced that there would be a red and white match this weekend, with the first-year freshmen facing off against the second-team players, and he would be the chief referee. The seniors who heard the news were naturally pleasantly surprised, after several competitions, there were players from the first army who were sent to the second army, which means that this competition is likely to be their ticket to the first army, and the people who were sent down naturally want to seize this opportunity to return to the first army, and the atmosphere on the side of the second army suddenly became hot. Contrary to them was the bleak expressions of the freshmen, which was also mixed with Rong Chun's excitement, and both Kominato Harushi and Kaba Hang couldn't help but admire Rong Chun's big heart.

"Sawamura-kun, it's amazing, I'm already nervous just thinking about competing with my seniors, and if it were me, I wouldn't want to participate at all."

"Well, I'm a little nervous too, but since I'm going to compete, I don't want to lose, whether it's Sawamura-kun or my seniors."

"You're a very powerful person."

"Huh? Is that so? It's a bit shy to be hunted and you say that. ”

"Koharu, Hang, what are you two talking about?"

Looking at Rong Chun who came over, the hunting field said,

"We were talking about the red and white race at the weekend, after all, compared to our seniors, we don't have an advantage in terms of physical strength or experience."

"Yes, especially now we are tools for performance for our predecessors, their eyes are not so kind, and people in the sports department really feel different as long as they compete."

Hearing the analysis of Minato and Hunting, Rong Chun was stunned, immersed in the excitement of being able to compete, he didn't think of this at all, and pondered for a while,

"If you want to fight against your predecessors, we are the only ones. There were nine people on the baseball field. Koharu, Hang, I have an idea....."

"What the hell are you going to do, Sawamura, call us all over." Kanemaru, who is familiar with Rong Chun, opened his mouth a little impatiently, and he is about to compete with his seniors, so he has to take advantage of the current time to exercise well.

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's self-practice, but I'd like to get your thoughts on the weekend's red and white matches."

"Huh? What can you think about trying not to be blown up? ”

The people who were nervous because of the game couldn't help but have some gunpowder in their words, and seeing everyone's serious expressions, Rong Chun smiled,

"Is that really good? If you are so negative, it is not impossible to lose 100 points on the day of the game! ”

"What do you say!!"

"You all feel that you can't defeat your seniors, so what are you doing here, what are you doing in such a hurry to practice on your own, you won't have the idea of just getting mixed up to the third grade, and then being pitifully and sympathetically put into the player's seat, then again, even if you have such thoughts, it's a pity that Qingdao is not such a place, otherwise there wouldn't be so many third-year seniors in the current Second Army. This time the head referee is Coach Kataoka, do you understand what that means? ”

Speaking of this, Rong Chun deliberately paused, looked at the thoughtful crowd, and smiled secretly,

"Why are the seniors so excited when they hear the red and white competition, we are just freshmen, and we may not have the qualifications to be used as practice matches, but the seniors' eyes are full of fighting spirit, because this performance is related to the quota of the first army and the second army."

The look on the faces of the people who had figured out the key points was uncertain. Originally, I thought it was just a simple confrontation game, to let the freshmen understand the power of high school baseball, but now it seems that it is not so easy, if you really use the current lineup to play, maybe you will really be bloodbathed by the seniors, after all, the goals are different, and the results are different.

"If you perform well in this game, it is possible for a team, even if it is a little worse, it will impress Coach Kataoka, then when you have the opportunity, you will have a much greater possibility than others, especially a coach like Coach Kataoka who likes to promote new students."

Just when everyone began to get excited because of Rong Chun's words, an indifferent voice interjected,

"It's an opportunity, but we're also a target, and it's even more unlikely than ours that the seniors will lose this opportunity."

Rong Chun looked at Gao Jin, who was not induced by himself, and was a little happy, after all, if everyone's excitement came up, then the game would definitely be a mess, just give Rong Chun a chance to explain clearly, if it was just a simple cheer, there was no need to call everyone over,

Hearing Takatsu's words, thinking of what happened not long ago, Tojo gave everyone another heavy blow,

"That's right, plus the players of the first army, Tanba's predecessors were sent to the second army not long ago, which means that this time we will meet the ace of Qingdao."

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Rong Chun spoke again,

"So how do we come back to life under the hands of our seniors, not to become a prop for them to show, and at the same time to promote ourselves, now we can't just rely on ourselves, unless someone thinks they can hit a home run with an ace pitch and catch all the balls hit by their predecessors, then maybe the superintendent can really notice, but none of us can do it." Baseball is a nine-player sport, whether it's guarding or batting. The strength itself is not comparable to the predecessors, and if the strength of the team is not reflected anymore, we may really have nothing, so what we have to do now is to understand each other and understand the opponent. ”

"But the cooperation of the seniors is definitely better than ours."

"A person who knows how to work together or someone who works blindly, in a team, which one do you think the coach will choose..."

Hearing these words, the freshmen all quieted down,

"Although we have not been together for a long time, we still know each other a little, so we need to deepen our impression of each other, communication, language is the bridge, one by one to tell me about their names, garrison positions, garrison methods and ranges, strike capabilities, etc., the more detailed the better, can I come first?"

Looking at the hesitant crowd, Rong Chun started without giving them time to react,

"I'm Eisan Sawamura, pitcher, I like to throw straight balls, head-to-head duels, although I also want to have a clean strikeout, but it turns out that my ball is still easy to hit, but it's easy to defend, I'm not very good at hitting, but I'm very confident in short hits, so I'll try my best to push the base pack during the game, and I'll try my best to run the bases, and that's it."

After Sawamura Rongchun finished speaking, the atmosphere was very quiet for a while, and Rongchun, who had no choice, had to look at Xiaominato and Hunting for help, and the two who received the signal decisively helped Rongchun support the field,

"My name is Haruichi Kominato, second baseman, I'll do my best if I'm guarded, I usually use wooden sticks, and my striking ability is ..... Well, my high school grade is 0.635. ”

Although he wants to try his best to help Rong Chun, but Xiao Minato Harushi is really not good at these, so he can only briefly introduce himself, but the data he finally released really shocked everyone.

"I'm a hunter, a catcher, although I can't guarantee that every ball can be received, but I will try to control the ball in front of me, and I have also practiced anti-theft bases when I was in junior high school, and I will fully support the pitcher, and I personally think it's okay to hit, but I haven't tried to play short."

"Shinji Kanemaru, the third baseman, the defense range is about three meters around me, but the reserve direction is not very good, I hope the shortstops and outfielders can support me, the hitting ability is medium to high, good at playing straight, not good at changing the ball, and I have no experience in short play before."

Looking at the people who slowly began to introduce themselves, Rong Chun almost showed an old fatherly look, now everyone can communicate normally, then there is actual training, tactics, etc., the most important thing is the intelligence of the predecessors, as well as the relationship between the surrender and arrest, and how to pull them in if there are some freshmen who have not come, ah, there are still many topics, and time is running out to overcome them quickly.
