"First baseman, Yuuki." After calling out Tetsuya Yuuki's name, Superintendent Kataoka looked at the other party: "As the captain, you have been doing a good job for more than half a year, and I hope you can continue to lead the team forward with your bat tomorrow." ”

"Yes!" Tetsuya Yuuki nodded vigorously in response to the overseer's expectations, but his external expression was still not much different from usual.

Until now, he still felt that he was not good enough, but he understood that as the captain, no matter how much pain he had, he could not easily show it on his face, because he was the team's guide.

"Second baseman, Kominato." Superintendent Kataoka turned his head to look at Ryosuke Kominato next to him, and after a slight pause, he said, "I always remember what you looked like when you first joined the club. ”

Ryosuke Kominato, who had raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled slightly, pulled the corners of his mouth down, he didn't know what Superintendent Kataoka was going to say next.

"You were the hardest working student in your year at that time, and there were several times when I thought you would not be able to persevere, but you never gave up your efforts, step by step, and caught up with everyone in a down-to-earth manner..."

"Those who were originally in front of you, those who used to laugh at you, in addition to those who have quit the community, are more left behind by you."

Speaking of this, Superintendent Kataoka said to him in a tone, "Minato, as I said before, you bought all this with tears and sweat. ”

"Yes...... Thanks for the overseer. Ryosuke Kominato's mouth lifted again, happy because of the overseer's affirmation.

"Third baseman, Masuko." Superintendent Kataoka looked at the next person: "You have to trust your swing, even if you hold a short bat, your strength is enough for you to sweep the ball out easily." ”

Knowing that Superintendent Kataoka was telling himself how to deal with the change ball, Masuko nodded vigorously: "Woo ga! ”

"And... Why is all your muscle gain on your stomach? Overseer Kataoka's gaze fell on the conspicuous swimming ring on Masuko's abdomen.

"Woo... Gah..."After listening to this, a cold sweat broke out on his shiny head, and he drooped his eyebrows and looked innocently at Superintendent Kataoka.

"If you want to move forward in your career, it's better to control it... Think about your senior..."After Inspector Kataoka finished talking to him, he turned his gaze to the next person.

"Shortstop, Kurachi." Superintendent Kataoka looked at Yoichi Kuramochi's somewhat fierce eyes, a student he paid special attention to.

I pay attention to other people because of their baseball ability, and I follow him because of his middle school days.

If Yoichi Kuramochi still fights with others after entering school, Superintendent Kataoka will let him quit the field ball club, regardless of his baseball ability.

After a long period of observation, although he is a little irritable in character, he is essentially just a hot-blooded teenager who values friendship, and even has a very keen sense of observation, coupled with faster foot strength than ordinary people, he can be a good guerrilla.

The tacit cooperation with second baseman Ryosuke Kominato can also expand the scope of the defense.

"Yes!" Kuramochi Yoshi was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded, he originally thought that it would be Nanmu senior first, but he didn't expect...

"Left fielder, Nagumo." Kataoka looked at Sakai: "Be more confident in yourself, your defensive ability is not bad." ”

If Seido becomes the fifth school in history to achieve summer and spring dominance, Shiichi Nagumo will soon quit the Wild Ball Club and return to the Kendo Club... Shiichi Nagumo is an absolute athletic genius, and if he wants to stay, he will become the team's absolute ace before the summer, after all, he can have such a good performance as a three-knife player now, and he will definitely have a more exciting performance as a second-rate player if he gives up the outfield to spend his time and energy on pitching and striking.

"Yes!" Nan Yunshi nodded, he knew that he had a problem with the outfield guard, but unfortunately there should be no time for him to change it later.

After Shiichi Minamigumo, Superintendent Kataoka looked at the next person: "Nakamidfielder, Izaki." ”

"Yes!" Jun Izashaki replied loudly.

"I'll leave it to you in the middle field, I'm relieved!"

Superintendent Kataoka didn't expect that after Jun Izaoshiki moved to the outfield, his performance would be so good.

Superintendent Kataoka was originally prepared for Izaki Junkai to ask to continue as a pitcher, or simply quit the club.

When Jun Isasaki made up his mind to switch to outfielder, he spent a lot of time and energy practicing outfield guarding, and although for a long time, he was a little worse than other outfielders, but before he knew it, he was already the most reliable outfielder in the team.

Because of Superintendent Kataoka's trust and affirmation, Izaoshiki Jun's eyes were slightly moist, and he reached out and patted his chest: "Leave it to me!" Supervise!! ”

"Right fielder, Hakushu." Superintendent Kataoka looked at the silent second-year student, "Continue to maintain your calm and calm defensive style, you are one of the indispensable main players of the team." ”

"I'll keep trying!" Kenjiro Hakushu nodded earnestly.

"Everyone else needs to be ready for the unexpected and we all have to stick together for tomorrow's game!"

"Yes!"

"Let's disband, let's go to dinner first, and then we'll have a simple combat meeting." Superintendent Kataoka asked the contestants who had come to the meeting after taking a shower to go to dinner first, and then left the conference room first.

……

At the hotel where Inagi Industrial is staying, the Kunitomo Superintendent is holding a battle meeting on the Koshien victory.

He and the members of the intelligence collection department analyzed in detail the main lineup of Qingdao, the characteristics of the line, the thickness of the pitcher line... and how to deal with it, in fact, these things were already being collected and sorted out as early as last fall; However, this time, Koshien and Seido have played a few games, allowing them to collect more information.

Except for a few, the rest were attracted by the detailed content and listened very carefully.

Certain! Be sure to win the final victory!!

In this way, it is worthy of their dedication and efforts for so many days and nights.

At the same time, in the hotel where the Qingdao athletes were, they were also having a combat meeting.

“… That's what you need to pay attention to, there is a lot of content, so be sure to keep it in mind before the game. Chris said as he turned off the VCR under the TV, giving up his spot to Superintendent Kataoka and retreating to his back seat.

Superintendent Kataoka walked in front of everyone, swept his eyes over the players sitting in front of him one by one, and said, "Chris has just given you a detailed analysis of the characteristics of their attacks and defenses through the game video of Inagi Industry, I hope you can remember it well, and you can integrate it when you play tomorrow." ”。

"Yes!" Everyone nodded their heads and said they would remember it.

Superintendent Kataoka looked down at the time on his watch: "It's 21:42, I don't ask you to go back to your room to rest right away, but don't practice outside anymore..."
