Supervisor Kataoka has changed quite a lot recently, for example, he is paying more and more attention to the reserve of pitchers, and in this regard he is almost the same as them Yokohama, both are two third-year pitchers, two second-year pitchers, and one first-year pitcher, and it seems that he is not as persistent in cultivating an ace who can stand alone and turn the tide.

Of course, in terms of catcher reserves, there are few teams that can be compared with the current Aomichi, first-year Miyukichi and Kuroza Naoya, last year's Takigawa Chris Yu, Aodo can recruit good catchers in the past two years.

I don't know if Qingdao will be able to enter the summer Koshien this summer, otherwise, if you want to compete with them again, it will probably be a long time later.

……

"Ceremony!"

The players of Aodo and Yokohama lined up in two rows at the referee's slogan, and after bowing to each other, they began to shake hands.

"Yokohama deserves to be the winning team of this year's spring Koshien team, it's amazing!" Dong Qingguo shook the hand of the captain of Yokohama opposite, Nagashi Fukuda, and said.

"You Qingdao is also very good, and you almost caught up with the score in the last game just now." Fukuda Yongjiang also said politely.

"We both hit a home run in this practice game, and there was no winner." Yokohama's four sticks, Kenji Sato, shook the hand of Higashi Kiyokuni behind Fukuda Eisho and said.

"There will be a winner, but it's a pity that this time it was our Qingdao who lost, but next time we must win!" The determination expressed in Dong Qingguo's tone was very firm.

"I was expecting you to play." Yokohama's ace Ken Kawakaku shook Yagami's hand and spoke.

"Senior, see you at the spring Kanto convention." Yagami smiled and replied.

"I hope to see you in the summer of Koshien in August." Ken Kawakaku continued.

"Yes, whether it's the Spring Kanto Tournament in ten days or the Summer Koshien in August, we will be the ones who win." After Yagami finished speaking, he let go of Ken Kawakaku's hand and went to shake the next player in Yokohama.

After a brief exchange between Seido and Yokohama's team members, Yokohama's Watanabe overseer sent the Seido people to the place where the school bus had stopped.

"It was a great practice match, Inspector Kataoka, and congratulations on another great catcher and pitcher this year." Inspector Watanabe paused, and continued, "After the Spring Kanto Convention, I look forward to seeing each other in Koshien. ”

Superintendent Kataoka smiled and shook Overseer Watanabe's outstretched right hand: "Lend you good words." ”

After saying that, he let go of his hand and turned to get on the school bus, Takashima Rei counted the number of people, and after making sure that everyone was on the bus, he motioned for the driver to drive away.

Yagami sat with Masuko Toru after getting into the car, he looked at Miyuki Kazuya, who was sitting alone at the back, thought about it, and decided to give this junior some personal space.

Yukiichi, who sat in the back row, also put his cap on his face and reviewed the practice match with his eyes closed.

Although on the field, in order to make the pitcher's condition better, no matter what kind of attempt, he is willing to do it; But when reviewing after the game, Yukiichi sometimes couldn't figure it out, obviously the result would get better according to the guidance of the catcher, why did Senior Tanba refuse?

Thinking of this, Yu Yuichi also raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, anyway, he was used to it, as long as his strength was enough, there would always be a place for him in the team.

Yu Yuiichi, who had an unpleasant club experience, didn't feel the need to deliberately have a good relationship with the other members of the baseball club, not to mention that the current members of the First Army were all seniors in the second and third grades, so he didn't have the right to speak at all.

At 14:20 p.m., the school bus of Qingdao Road drove into the parking lot of Dasagami in the East China Sea as scheduled.

As he had done in Yokohama in the morning, Superintendent Kataoka greeted the Superintendent of the Tokai Dasagami Baseball Club and then exchanged rosters while the Seido players gathered at the edge of the court to warm up.

Bench player Toru Masuko got rid of the dilemma of being able to play as a substitute player in the past, and was arranged by Kataoka to start as a third baseman by Superintendent Kataoka, and several sophomores were cheering him on because of this.

"This is a rare opportunity, Masuko, you must perform well!" Yagami said patting Masuko's strong chest.

"After all, Dong's senior is the captain and a four-player, and it is difficult for the supervisor to replace him as a starter, so seize this opportunity to work hard." Although he admires Dongqingguo very much, Jun Izakiki also hopes that Toru Masuko, who is in the same grade as him, will have more opportunities to play.

"Guard with your heart and swing your stick with all your might." Tetsuya Yuuki, who often appears as a starter, is also cheering him on.

"Masuko ......" Koichiro Tanba, who also appeared first, said quite shyly: "...... Let's add it together! ”

"Woo quack!" Masuko clenched his hands into fists and nodded with a serious expression.

Dong Qingguo, who had already determined that he would not play in this practice match with Tokai Dasagami, changed into a clean team uniform early, grabbed Yu Yukiichi and cared for him as a senior and captain.

"You want to play, don't you?" Higashi Kiyokoku sat down next to Miyuki Kazuya and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder.

"Don't you want to play?" Miyukiichi also supported his chin with his right hand and flipped through the scorebook with his left hand, because the catcher this afternoon was not him, but Kuroza Naoya, so Superintendent Kataoka asked him to come over and record the data of the game.

"Haha, who wouldn't want to play?" Dong Qingguo laughed, patted Miyuki Kazuya on the back again, and then looked at the second-year people: "But you have to give others a chance to grow." ”

Yu Yuiichi also moved his back, which was a little painful by Dong Qingguo, and didn't know what kind of response to this sentence, so he could only wait in silence.

"At the end of this summer, the future of the baseball club is in their hands...... And, of course, those of you first-year students who haven't experienced pain and unwillingness. After a while, Dong Qingguo said with emotion.

"It's just over three months before the end of summer!" After Yukiichi finished speaking, he secretly added in his heart: Of course, Qingdao may not be able to go to the end.

"yes, it's only been more than three months." Dong Qingguo rarely showed a trace of sentimentality, but he quickly restrained himself, continued to open his mouth wide, and said in a very firm tone: "This summer, we will definitely go to Koshien." ”

Yukiichi also looked at the unusually firm expression of Senior Higashi next to him, as if he was infected by his senior, and couldn't help but nodded, "I will definitely go to Koshien this summer!" ”
