Chapter 425: October (3)
"In order to win, it is a last resort to put a rather tired player on the court..."Takashi Fujii echoes the views of his classmate, Kiyokuni Higashi.
"However, the further back in the race, the more difficult it is to ride the tiger." Yagami, who disagrees with this concept, immediately refutes it.
"It's all come to this point, who can afford to lose?!"
The result is that the exhausted contestants will survive to the end and lose their future!! β
"Yagami ... Even if that's it..."Chris, who had been silent from the beginning, finally spoke.
"In order to live up to the expectations from the supervisor and my teammates, no matter how tired I am physically and how much psychological pressure I have, I will continue to play!!"
"Oh-" Yagami turned his head to look at Chris behind him and said to him, "Is that why you kept playing last year by hiding your shoulder injury?" β
The so-called fatigue is actually the judgment that the brain makes about the body. The brain tends to avoid injury by feeling fatigued before the body is injured. However, when the high school field players are encouraged and concentrated, they do not necessarily feel tired as usual, and often the body has crossed the limit without realizing it.
"You idiot!!"
I really can't get used to Chris's attitude, if his parents weren't around when he twisted his foot yesterday, I'm afraid he would hide his injury like he did last year.
"I'm sorry, senior... What I just said is a bit excessive. "I'm sorry, but what the senior just said was a bit excessive.
Therefore, Yagami Ye, who didn't want to argue with him anymore, turned around and left directly after apologizing to the two seniors, leaving only the three people who were confused by today's Yagami Night, and the group of first-year and second-year students who stopped practicing because of the quarrel just now and set their eyes on this side.
(PS: The author's favorite supervisor is the national security supervisor of Ofunato High School, and when he was only one step away from the long-time dream of himself and the Noball Club, Koshien, out of the protection of the players, he put the team's absolute ace Langki Sasaki on the bench on standby, which was a decision that even Komata Supervisor Komakomai of Koma Otomaki could hardly do.)
No matter how much the overseer values the players, when they are only one step away from Koshien, he will definitely let them play to help the team win the final and reach Koshien. After that, it was possible to put the players on the bench out of consideration for the future of the players, resulting in the team stopping in the first and second rounds of Koshien after losing the big ace.
However, in the eyes of the national security superintendent, the Hagar qualifier final is the most likely match to bury the life of Reiwa and the monster Ronki Sasaki. Therefore, when everyone was expecting Ronki Sasaki to play in consecutive competitions and let Ofunato High School, which is not a strong school, move towards "the first Koshien winner in the Reiwa era and the national hegemony", the national security superintendent withstood the pressure from all parties and did not let the absolute ace of the team pitch on the board in the final, and then lose the opportunity to enter Koshien.
Ofunato High School, which has only scored Koshien once in history, is the closest to Koshien winning, and as long as the country's best pitcher, Hiroshi Sasaki, is allowed to play back-to-back games, the team will be able to win Koshien and realize the long-held dream of the school and its supporters.
One can imagine what kind of attitude they will have towards the national security supervision that will shatter their dreams?
The fact that the State Security Superintendent was able to withstand all the pressure and make decisions under such circumstances is commendable in his courage. )

After the quarrel between the injured former ace and the original main catcher, Qingdao soon ushered in the quarterfinals with Ersong School.
October 22, Jingu Court 2, the third game of the quarterfinals, the match time is 10:00 am.
The Seitao players don't know if it was because of the injury of the main catcher, or because of the impact of the quarrel two days ago, the line ushered in a full-scale outbreak, defeating the strong school in the Tokyo area Nimatsu Gakusha Daisuke with a score of 14:5, and ended the game early in seven games.
"That's right, the batter is out!"
"Ah!!h After the strikeouts got the last out, Koichiro Tanba stood on the pitcher's mound and shouted excitedly.
"It's over!" The chief judge announced the end of the third game of the quarterfinals.
"Advance to the Final Four!"
"Good vote, Tenba senior."
"Hmm!" Koichiro Tanba nodded in response.
"Well voted!"
"Well played!"
"Well thrown, Tamba!"
The supporters in the stands shouted loudly, applauded, or waved their arms, expressing their support for Seongdo in their own ways.
"Superintendent Kataoka! Two more..."
"I must make it to Koshien!"
"You can do it."
"Qingdao... Strongest! β
β¦β¦
"The number of appearances in Koshien is 20 in spring and summer."
"Among them, the spring Koshien won 1 time, and the summer Koshien won 2 times."
"Known as the winning team, it can be said that Koshien is the representative team."
Rei Takashima stood next to the TV and introduced the semi-final opponent Tedong to the Seido contestants.
"I have an advantage in the competition with my senior Yongma Kazuki (two-year-old), a first-mover catcher with strong shoulders and strong fights, Gan Xiangang!"
"An ace who is close to 1.90 meters tall, and has both ball power and ball speed in pitching, Ota Adouri (second year old)."
"The No. 2 pitcher who had a direct impact on the ace, Tatsuya Akihara (second year), a large left-hand man with a ball speed of nearly 140 kilometers."
ββ¦β¦β
β... There is also a play-and-run tactic, using the foot range to attack. After Takashima finished his introduction to Teto, Superintendent Kataoka took over and began to announce the tactical arrangements.
"Completely disrupt the rhythm of the opposing pitcher, and the opponent will definitely do his best."
"In this situation, it's up to you to see if you can play at your own pace."
"First of all, enjoy the fun of playing against the strong... On top of that, even more so to win this one! β
"Yes," the Qingdao players replied in unison.
β¦β¦
"What is baseball to you? Superintendent Okamoto. β
"It's a flame, and the souls of the superintendent and the players stir each otherβ" In the face of reporters' questions, Teito supervisor Kazuhachi Okamoto did not hesitate to give his opinion.
"The sparks... This is the source of fire in the beginning!! β
"No matter how good your skills are, if the environment and equipment are excellent, if the person who is actually on the field is just an empty shell... You can't defeat your opponents! β
"It's just that there are very few examples... The contestants who were already burning before I lit the flames. β
β¦β¦
"Bastard thing! What the hell? Okamoto Kazuhachi, who was standing at home plate and struck the ball with a bat, yelled at the player in front.
"I'm going to get it, one more ball!" The scolded partisan was not ready to give up and asked the overseer.
"What a shame, boy!" Okamoto waved his bat and knocked the ball flying.
It is the heart that can affect the skills and the body, and it is the responsibility of Kazuhachi Okamoto as the team supervisor to make the flames of the players more and more vigorous.
"Be attentive when handling the ball..."
"The overseer is still the same, so hot-blooded." The Didong OB graduates who watched the practice from the sidelines couldn't help but sigh.
"He's 64 this year..."
"Bastard thing!" Superintendent Okamoto is still obsessed with teaching the players, "How can a team that can't handle the ball well win in the end?" βγ
"Hit the ball to the corner of the field's guard range, and call it the God's Shot!"
"It seems that the impregnable defense that underpins this winning team is still visible in the new team."
