At this time, to train more pitchers with decent strength to form a strong and solid pitcher formation is what Kataoka Superintendent should do! In addition to his problems on the pitcher, he also has problems on the catcher, because of Chris's strength and talent, he often involuntarily puts the pressure of the whole team on Chris alone, so that after he was injured, he chose to hide it for the expectations of his teammates and supervisors.

After Chris's injury, in addition to the problems on the pitcher, the problems in the catcher will also erupt, whether it is senior Matsuda in the second grade or Keisuke Miyauchi in the first year, they cannot replace Chris's role in the team, as the heart and soul of the team to lead the baseball club players to win on the field.

Miss Takashima soon reported back from the hospital that Chris had been told that he would be hospitalized for treatment, and that he might even have surgery, indicating that Chris's right shoulder injury was worse than they thought.

It also made Superintendent Kataoka prepare to find time to conduct physical examinations of the members of the baseball club to avoid injuries to any member of the club, but he did not know.

……

The retirement match that continued on the second day ended with a 4:3 victory over the third-grade seniors by the first army.

After the game, the members of the First Army and some members of the Second Army visited Chris, who was recuperating in the hospital, to send their care and blessings.

As soon as the retirement match ended, he asked Miss Takashima about Chris's hospital, and then he was very worried that a group of his peers went to visit him in the hospital.

In Chris's hospital room, only Tetsuya Yuuki, Jun Izagi and Koichiro Tanba are the only three of them who have not left.

"Chris ......"

In the hospital room, under Chris's gentle gaze, Koichiro Tanba couldn't say what he wanted to say, and he didn't even know what to say to break the embarrassing situation in front of him.

"Don't worry, my shoulder injury is not too serious, the doctor said that I can be discharged from the hospital next month, and I am currently in the hospital for observation just in case."

Obviously he is injured, but he still has to take care of their feelings so gently.

It's really hard for Chris, who thinks about them like this, to make Koichiro Tanba angry for him for hiding his injuries.

If it weren't for the thick bandage wrapped around Chris's shoulder, Koichiro Tanba would have really wanted to ask him what he was thinking.

At this time, do you still need to take into account the feelings of others?

Tetsuya Yuuki on the side rarely said directly, don't tell a few of them that he has these things, this time, he must take care of his injury, otherwise, his future baseball career will definitely be ruined because of a shoulder injury.

"Don't worry! I'm definitely not going to hide my injuries like I did before. ”

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say! If you hadn't been told by Yagami that your shoulder had been injured in full view of Yagami this time, I wouldn't have believed Chris and you would have told people honestly that your shoulder had been injured at the Hagar qualifiers at the end of July! ”

Chris was so directly blocked by Jun Izashaki that he couldn't even say a word of defense.

Izaki only spoke in such a tone simply because he cared about Chris, so he didn't continue to say such embarrassing things to Chris.

Tetsuya Yuuki and the three of them didn't stay in the hospital for a long time, and after chatting with Chris for a while, they left together.

In addition to giving Chris a good rest, they also have to rush back to school to continue the training they had to do every day.

Chris, who was wrapped in a thick bandage around his right shoulder, watched the classmates who came to visit him leave one after another, and involuntarily remembered Yagami's words in his mind: "Chris, although you have been enduring the pain of training and competing, you may be able to keep yourself in a high-intensity state mentally, but the physical pain is real, and you can't fool yourself, and a little change every day will become terrible over time." ”

"Chris, didn't you notice? Since the semi-finals of the fall convention, your passing accuracy has been getting worse and worse, and the baseball that comes in you can sometimes suddenly become soft and powerless. ”

"As for why I found out about this? Of course, it's because I don't believe that you're the heart and soul of the team like everyone else, and that there will be no problems, so much so that they don't even notice that your shoulder is wrong. ”

"Is that so?"

His determination to hide it despite everything, is it dragging the team back?

Chris couldn't help but start to rejoice, he was fortunate that he hadn't reached the worst, otherwise, what would have awaited him would have been an abyss.

"Please come in."

There was a sudden knock on the door of the ward, and Chris felt a little strange, who else knew that he was injured and came to visit.

"Chris, I've come to see you." Cai Qian went straight and pushed open the door and walked in.

"Caimae, why are you here? How's your foot doing? Chris asked out loud when he saw that he was still walking with a cane before he saw that he was going straight ahead.

"It's already fine, I just started rehab a few days ago." Cai Qian went straight and patted his injured calf and looked up at Chris: "When will the injury on your shoulder heal?" ”

"At the very least, it takes more than three months of recuperation and a long period of rehabilitation before I can start training again."

More than a month ago, on October 8, during the Tokyo Metropolitan Games, he was injured in the lower leg when he was hit by a baseball hit by a baseball hit by a hitter in the game of 0:1 to Teto.

Takigawa Chris Yu and Caizen Naoyuki as a casting partner in the middle school period, and now the two people who are also experiencing injuries are chatting very tacitly, but unfortunately after chatting for a while, Caizen Naoyuki was taken away by the staff of the rehabilitation department who came to find someone, and Caizen's plan to escape rehabilitation failed again.

……

Since exchanging contact information with Chris, Yagami has been telling Chris about the situation of the first army every day to cultivate the relationship between the casters and the catchers.

"Recently, Miss Takashima has brought a lot of junior high school students to see our practice, and it is estimated that some of these people will be our future juniors."

"The overseer took all the numbers back, saying that he would wait until March and reissue them according to the performance of the people."

"Senior XX has been sent to the Second Army."

"The palace has been promoted to an army."

Chris returned to Qingdao in late December for the exam week at the end of the second term, but unfortunately he could only run and stretch his lower limbs at the request of the doctor. After the exam, Superintendent Kataoka asked Chris to go home without staying at school during the winter vacation.

In the end, Chris, who had only been back at school for only a few days, had to go home early with his luggage for the winter break.

Before that, he also asked Yagami to sort out the training content during the winter training and send it to him, so that he could see what he could refer to.
