The excitement of the Qingdao crowd did not calm down even when they returned to the hotel where they stayed from the Hanshin Koshien Stadium.

Because Superintendent Kataoka wanted to consider whether to serve as the superintendent of the Japanese selection team and lead the team to participate in the Japan-U.S. Goodwill High School Tournament, he let everyone move freely for the rest of the day.

As a classical Kataoka supervisor, not only is the training method very traditional, but the requirements for pitchers were also very popular before 2000 - as long as the beater is not killed (exploded), the "finished pitching" of the pitcher mound is not allowed, which is a concept that is destined to be eliminated.

If one of the two of them is injured, in order to win the game, the remaining person is afraid that he will be cooled by Kataoka Supervisor and not think about going down the pitcher hill.

When Shodai Tanaka attended the Meiji Jingu Convention in his first year, he was still the catcher of the previous senior, but after his outstanding shoulder strength attracted the attention of Superintendent Kayu, he decided to change Tanaka to pitcher (previously a catcher and pitcher). This decision not only changed the history of Koshien, but also the entire high school field, as it proved that a halfway pitcher can become a dazzling star, and that the once-popular never-ending pitching practice from childhood to adulthood in Japan can only ruin a talented pitcher (the root cause is the excessive pursuit of mental performance). Since then, each Koya team will try to minimize the training time (in recent years, it has become popular to control the training time between 3~5 hours) and pay attention to the rest of the ace.

Perhaps because of the difference in experience, Inspector Koda won the Natsu Koshien Championship with the team at Saga Commercial High School in 1994, but Kensuke Tomo, the winning pitcher who was the star of the prefecture, had no ball to play after that, and the touch on him can be imagined, which is why he and Kataoka Supervisor are completely opposite in philosophy.

In last year's summer league journey, Kayuki used a total of 3 pitchers to rotate pitching, and a high-level pitcher like Tanaka Shodai's senior and former ace Takuya Matsuhashi was replaced by a team other than Komachi Otomaki Komaki would not have the option of pitching mound, especially the over-pursuit of ace pitchers like Kataoka Tetsushin.

In last year's summer league, Takuya Matsuhashi pitched about 17 innings, and Tanaka shogun's big pitch was about 25 innings.

It was this philosophy of valuing the future prospects of the players that led to Kayu's choice to let substitute Shota Kikuchi start even though he was likely to lose the match, and the price paid for this was to lose the decisive match with Seichi and miss the dream of a three-in-a-row.

This is a decision that no other team director of his time dares to make!!

In this case, even if Yagami has an age advantage, his prospects will still be slightly inferior to Tanaka Shoda, although he only transferred from Shizuoka to Seisho High School in Tokyo in the autumn of his first year, but he has no advantage compared to Tanaka Shodai, who has basically never pitched before his sophomore year of high school, and the number of balls he used during his time in Koshien has also been supervised and controlled.

As a catcher, Shoda Tanaka does not have the arrogance that most pitchers have, his pitching style has traces of catcher matching, not to mention, the big heart in times of crisis is also very suitable for his professional baseball development, coupled with the shoulder strength that has been retained in the three years of high school, he will definitely be more dazzling in the future than now.

Even if the momentum of Koma Otoma and Komaki is three times in a row, they have been swallowed up by the support of Qingdao. "It's like we're playing the villain." Koma Otomaki overseer Yushi Koda said.

Everyone is looking forward to the final victory of justice, and General Tanaka will leave a lonely figure in the bloody celebration picture. However, the curtain is slowly rising for him on the bigger stage......

……

When Chris woke up and looked at the ceiling in the room, there was always an unreal feeling that we really won Koshien Victory!?

The national tyrant shouted from the beginning of the school to the present.,Yesterday finally completely realized this dream.,Everyone celebrates because they let go.,Laughing and making trouble.,Take a drink.,Toast when you see someone.,No matter what you say.,In the end, it ended up laughing.,It's just that what they didn't expect was that Superintendent Kataoka actually cried again.。

After the party, he went back to his room and lay down on the bed, and as the fatigue accumulated during this time exploded, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed when he thought he would be too excited to sleep at night.

Chris turned his head to look at Yagami's bed, but found that the bed next to him was empty, and when he turned his head again, he saw Yagami with his hands on the window looking in the direction of Hanshin Koshien Stadium in a daze.

I didn't expect Yagami to get up so early, and Chris, who turned over and got up, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then also walked to the window and looked out.

"What are you thinking?"

"Now, you, let's win......" Yagami said.

"Well, we won!" Chris said as he unconsciously smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"It's not too difficult for the players of the winning team of Natsu Koshien to go to professional baseball or university as a sports student, or wherever you want!?" Yagami asked him.

"Nope! In fact, in the past summer league winning teams, there are often cases where 0 people enter the professional baseball. ”

"I can only say that if I want to go to college and social team later, it will be easier." Considering Yagami's origins, Chris did not refuse to answer the question because it was too small.

"In this case, I'm afraid that the only seniors who can get the name of the professional baseball are the three seniors of Jinguji, Higashi and Mumurasuke." After learning about the relationship between the Japanese professional baseball draft and Koshien's results, Yagami gave his opinion.

"I remember Senior Murasuke saying that if he wanted to go to Waseda University, he would not participate in the professional baseball draft. In addition, I think that Fukuda senior should also be able to get the first nomination of professional baseball. Chris also gave his opinion.

Before yesterday, their dream had always been to break into Koshien, win the prize, and complete the dream of national domination; Professional baseball, draft signings, and so on, although I occasionally think about it, but that's just a farther vision.

While others in the excitement may still be reminiscing about the excitement of winning the championship, second-year students Chris and Yagami are here to think about the future after winning the championship.

……

After the last breakfast at the hotel restaurant, the Qingdao people were ready to go back to Tokyo, and everyone took their luggage to say goodbye to the hotel where they had lived for more than half a month, and stepped on the school bus to start returning to Tokyo. In addition to the Yagami night, who went to the hospital to check the elbow condition accompanied by Rei Takashima.

Everyone in the car was excited, either chatting about how many congratulatory calls they had received, or studying where to go when they returned; After all, Koshien is over, and they have also fulfilled their dream of national dominance, and in the last week before the start of school, they can take a good vacation and rest.

Except, of course, for 1st and 2nd year students, as the launch of the new team will start immediately.
