Chapter 226: Before the Contestant Rights Conference Officially Begins
The captains of each representative school have stepped forward to complete the draw, and the battle table of the forty-nine representative schools was immediately announced, and the Qingdao people whispered below.
"The opponent in the first round is Tsuwasaki Ko, who will be the opponent in the second round?"
"Does Kiryu and Yokohama feel likely? It's hard to say who it is. ”
"The opponent of the three-round battle should be one of the two of them, Kiyomine or Fukui Sho."
"The opponents in the quarter-finals have to be drawn again and it is not yet known who will be our opponents."
Soon after the lottery ended, the Seido people left the auditorium and walked onto the school bus to return to the hotel not far from Hanshin Koshien.
After returning to the hotel, Superintendent Kataoka summoned the Seido people for a meeting. Holding the freshly printed battle sheet in his hand, Superintendent Kataoka looked at the contents carefully, one battle to three battles were fine, and the shortest interval between the two battles in the middle was three days.
However, the three rounds were next to each other in the quarter-finals, with the semi-finals the day after the quarter-finals and then the final on August 20.
If you want to win all the way, the supervision of each team will be the most important thing about how to arrange the next games.
Thinking of this, Superintendent Kataoka put down the battle watch in his hand and swept his gaze away from the team members one by one, and finally stayed on Yagami Yagami's body.
Yagami, as an ace, is afraid that he will have to play continuously in the last few games.
"The battle table has come out, and everyone has seen it.
If there were no accidents, our first match would have been the second on August 6; Tsuwasaki is a very average team, but if you underestimate them here, it is entirely possible to lose this game! ”
"So, everyone has to be prepared, and we must not take it lightly until the last minute."
"Yes!" Qingdao everyone nodded in response.
"The starting list for the first round of the battle is announced below."
Seeing that everyone had memorized his words, Superintendent Kataoka began to arrange the list of players.
"One stick, guerrilla, Fukuda."
"Second baseman, second baseman, Ota."
When Superintendent Kataoka named the second baseman, everyone else began to have some ideas of their own.
"Yes, Overseer." Ota raised his right hand to indicate that he had heard.
"Three sticks, left fielder, Fujii."
"Yes."
"Four, third baseman, East."
"Yes."
"Five bats, Nakamidfielder, Murasuke."
"Six, first baseman, Yuuki."
"Seven bats, pitcher, Yagami."
"Eight, right fielder, hi-za."
"Yes." Kuraza Naoya nodded lightly when he heard the overseer call his name.
Many people in the team looked at each other, and when they heard that Ota was adjusted to second baseman and second baseman, they thought that Superintendent Kataoka would definitely make a big adjustment to the candidates behind them, but now they see that this is indeed the case.
"Nine sticks, catcher, Miyuki." After talking about the last starter, Superintendent Kataoka continued without a pause: "Sakai (Yu), remember to warm up when the game starts, and I will arrange for you to pitch on the court depending on the situation." ”
"Yes." After hearing Kataoka's arrangement, Yu Sakai looked very excited and nodded.
After arranging the first striker for the first battle, Superintendent Kataoka said a few more words of advice such as paying attention to safety outside, and then let everyone disperse.
Because the temperature outside was very high, after lunch, the Qingdao people made an appointment to go to the training ground of the middle school baseball club they rented a little later to practice, and then went back to their rooms for a lunch break.
After finishing his nap, Yagami opened his eyes to find Chris sitting at a table, looking at the battle table for the National High School Wild Player Rights Conference.
"What's so nice about the battle table that needs to be studied for so long? Don't you have to take a break? ”
"If you can make it all the way to the finals, you will be very tired!"
From the quarterfinals onwards, one match a day is unbeatable, and the stronger the opponent becomes, the shorter the time Yagami can rest.
"Let's think about the rest later! Let's win the first battle, not to mention that since the senior Jinguji got a new life at the West Tokyo Conference, his pitching level is not necessarily worse than mine, and with each other's burdens, he will definitely be able to go all the way! ”
He had seen Koshien a few times before, so he naturally knew that the schedule would be denser the later the tournament went.
Every year, there are pitchers who slump after Koshien, and on the one hand, the game in Koshien can make one or some players famous, but on the other hand, because of the over-intensive events of the National High School Wild Ball Players' Rights Conference, the players can only choose to squeeze their physical strength excessively, so that after exhausting their enthusiasm in this short half a month, they will stay away from their baseball career.
It's a pity that none of the teenagers in it would not want to win the final victory in this holy land of high wilderness, so all these choices can only be left to their own decision.
After listening to Yagami's words, Chris raised his left hand and pressed his right shoulder, even though he no longer felt pain, as long as he remembered the time he had wasted trying to heal his injuries, his heart palpitated.
Such a terrible experience, he didn't want his team to go through it again.
By the time it was nearly fifteen o'clock in the afternoon, Yagami had already picked up his backpack containing the pitcher's ball cover and baseball, picked up the metal bat next to him, and prepared to go out.
Seeing this, Chris took his things, and after changing his shoes with Yagami at the entrance, they went downstairs to the training ground they rented.
Unlike last night, many students from this middle school saw this afternoon that Yagami and this group of high school students were training in the training ground of the baseball club.
"Where did this baseball team come from?"
"Their movements are very uniform."
"The fluidity of the guard is also very good."
"It's so loud."
"Their pitchers, they seem to be very fast."
"Which school's baseball team is this? If I have time, I'd like to watch them play. ”
Soon the fence of the training ground was full of students from this school, these people were a group of boys and girls who were only two or three years younger than Yagami Yasam.
Yagami was often watched when they were in the Qingdao Baseball Club, and the players who had long been accustomed to being watched were very receptive to this, directly ignoring the outside world and focusing on their own training.
At 18 o'clock in the afternoon, when it was getting darker and darker, Dong Qingguo, as the captain, gathered everyone else, and after packing up the belongings he had brought with him, he thanked the school and the person in charge of the baseball club before leading the people out of the training ground and back to the hotel where they lived.
