Chapter 50: Quarterfinals
Seidou High School Baseball Team plays in Seinquan Academy.
Today's game is completely different from the two games that Seido High School baseball team encountered before.
The opponent's strength is no longer as vulnerable as before. Although they are not wealthy families, they have the enthusiasm to go hand in hand with several wealthy families in recent years.
It is said that there are many members in the Xianquan Academy team, with more than 80 people in the entire baseball department. The Xianquan players who are able to stand out from so many people are all baseball experts standing on the court.
Even if you play against such an opponent, even a player from the Seidou High School baseball team should not be careless.
They must do their best.
But for some reason, the players of Seido High School baseball team were a little unimpressed about today's game.
At the beginning of the game, their starting pitcher was a very steady first-year rookie Kawakami.
After the contestants were in their positions, they all performed their duties steadily.
But Minister Oda felt very uneasy. He always felt that these contestants were hiding something in their hearts.
"No problem, right?"
Ota muttered quite worriedly.
Superintendent Kataoka certainly knew what Ota was worried about, and he also felt the changes in the contestants' emotions.
Players who returned from Jiaziyuan will more or less like this. Not only players in the Seido High School baseball team, but also in Daocheng, a junior in the city...
After their players came back from Jiaziyuan, they would be troubled by being unable to get excited. Especially in the early stages of the competition, this feeling was even more obvious.
Although Supervisor Kataoka is not as experienced as Supervisor in this regard, he has never eaten pork or seen pigs walking?
He has seen a lot and has also analyzed it himself.
This is a very normal phenomenon, just like a student who has just finished the Olympics and comes back to continue taking the ordinary exam.
Of course the students will not be excited.
However, because those students' grades themselves are extremely outstanding, even if they are not excited, they will not affect their exam results too much.
Sports players are different, and their mentality will greatly affect their performance.
This is also one of the important reasons why it is difficult for the team to dominate continuously after participating in Jiaziyuan.
There is not enough preparation time, there is not enough adjustment of the new team, and the players' mentality is adjusted...
Even though Supervisor Kataoka has been prepared for a long time, there are still great shortcomings in this regard.
"These shortcomings can only be filled by the players themselves!"
Sometimes, even supervisors and teachers can only play a role in assisting.
The true awareness and progress of the contestants also depends on their own learning and insights.
Some losses are not available, and even if you say more, it is useless. Only after you have eaten, can they gain wisdom after learning from their mistakes.
With a worried mood, the 1/8 final began.
Kawakami was a little nervous until they successfully won the first outs with the cooperation of Miyuki.
When the hitter, because they were fooled by them, played a high-flying ball.
Kawakami's nervous nerves finally relaxed a little.
His pitching is effective.
Even for elite schools like Xianquan Academy, each of their hitters is not weak.
But as long as you can shoot to the designated position and control the ball without losing your level, you can fight with them or even deal with them.
Such results will undoubtedly make the pitcher confident.
And Miyuki, who was able to make Kawakami do this, was so high that he was simply incredible.
It was not too obvious when the third-grade seniors were there. Now that the third-grade seniors have retired, Yuyuki's entire presence has soared.
His talent can no longer be concealed. If it weren't for his usual venomous mouth, the second-grade seniors wouldn't like it very much. Maybe Yuyu now has become a member of the team's core circle like Zhang Han.
Well, even now, Yuyu is already a core member of the circle. He is always present when the team opens discussions.
However, when the core contestants talk in private, sometimes they can't see him. Several second-year seniors will subconsciously forget to invite him.
And Yuyuki's own face is not thick enough and he will not take the initiative to come forward.
Zhang Han was also very confused about this, but as a junior, he could not take the initiative to pull Yuyu in.
In short, the atmosphere inside the team is not good now. Fortunately, everyone's goals are the same, and the internal environment of the Seido High School baseball team is simple, so there will be no tricks.
Otherwise, Zhang Han would be struggling to death if he was sandwiched in the middle.
The 15 or 16-year-old boy is indeed a troublesome creature. In Zhang Han's opinion, whether it is the seniors or Yuyuki, such secret competition seems too naive.
But who made them teenagers aged 15 or 16? The sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning has some reason to be willful.
The game continued, and Xianquan's second-bad hitter came on the court.
In the rest area, the smile on the supervisor was a little stiff.
When Superintendent Yiliang was interviewed by reporters, he once swore that they came to play against the Seidou High School baseball team with a learning attitude.
They have a big gap in strength between them and Seido, and they are probably no match for them at all. In this case, they might as well learn from the Seido High School baseball players with a learning attitude. How do they play baseball?
Only after learning advanced experience can they exercise well in the next year and then welcome the summer competition.
In autumn, all teams in Tokyo participated in a grand event.
"We don't expect anything more to be in Xianquan Academy. Our goal is to be in the summer one year later. Only the teams in Nishi Tokyo will participate in the battle, and the competitors will be less than half. If you have good luck..."
Superintendent Yiliang was lying a lot, and he didn't know if the reporter listened or didn't?
But he never thought so.
Although the Seidou High School baseball team performed extremely strongly in the first two games, according to the idea of Supervisor Ichiro, they were not so impeccable.
In fact, even in the previous two games, Seido solved the opponent in five games. However, they still exposed many problems during the game.
There are many of these problems that even seem quite naive.
But the players of Seido High School baseball team just made a mistake.
What does this mean? This shows that they are not prepared for the autumn competition and have not experienced hard battles.
One goes up and the other goes down. Even if the players of Seidou High School baseball team have higher overall strength, they are not without opportunities in today's game.
As long as there is this time, they will win the experience of victory from the three major wealthy families. Then, after that, they will officially pass this hurdle.
The fairy spring that has been at its peak for several years can go further.
But now, a first-year freshman pitcher who has just started playing is so steady?
How could he laugh?
