v2 Chapter 24： : Sawamura Education Junior

"Qingdao High School, it's really unfortunate!"

The supervisor of Didong High School showed a bit of envy in his eyes.

Although in the past few years, the enrollment of Qingdao High School has not been very smooth. Not to mention the top talents in the whole country, even the top talents in the Tokyo area will not be selected by Qingdao High School.

Therefore, although Qingdao High School has not been able to enter Koshien in the past few years, everyone's evaluation of Supervisor Kataoka is not low. He is stunned to bring a group of talented second-class players and maintain the competitiveness of the wealthy colleges.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Even if the ability to be a supervisor is excellent, some things are helpless.

It's like the head coach of the Huaxia football team, whether it is a domestic first-class or an international first-class, has invited a lot of them, and the results have not improved.

Under the constraints of such objective conditions, Supervisor Kataoka was able to achieve that level, which is already quite remarkable.

Now, he can be considered to have come through hardships and hardships, and the admissions work in the past two years has been amazingly smooth.

Although baseball is a nine-person sport, which player is the most important, there is no doubt that it is the pitcher.

On offense, the pitcher is only 19, which is not much to say, it's the same for any player at any position.

But when it comes to defense, it is very different. In an average team, the importance of pitchers can account for 60 to 70 percent of the team. Even in some weaker teams, the importance of pitchers will even account for 70 or 80 of them.

Like the previous middle school days, the Akagi Middle School baseball team, which had dominated the country twice, had more than 95% of the team's pitchers.

To put it bluntly, if the ace pitcher is taken out, the rest of the Akagi Middle School baseball team is nothing at all.

Even in a wealthy college with a fairly complete defense system, the importance of pitchers is generally higher than 60 to 70 percent of the team.

If the pitcher is the core of the team, the importance can reach about 80.

So Qingdao High School is really lucky. Originally, due to the lack of pitchers, there was no way to break through the blockade of Tokyo.

Last spring, with the joining of the Great Demon King Sawamura Eijun, Qingdo High School got the most important piece of the puzzle.

Also from that time onwards, the success of Qingdao High School has emerged one after another.

Falling Valley Xiao, Kominato Spring City, Winter Xiuming...

Plus the original Miyuki, Kuramochi, Hakushu...

A division of kings was thus formed.

Feng shui turns, no matter how powerful the master of the king is, they can only last for two or three years.

After all, the time players can stay in high school is limited, and they can't stay in school forever.

They will grow up one day, go to college, and even enter professional baseball.

By that time, the dynasty of Qingdao High School will be over.

See if a team can always maintain the rhythm of the king?

The most important thing is to see the freshmen of this team!

Right now, the nine players standing on the court at Qingdo High School are mainly second- and third-year players.

But at the same time, two rookies were added. The most important thing is that these two rookies have good strength, especially with a pitcher.

In this way, even if Sawamura Eijun and the others graduate, there is no need to worry about the results of Qingdo High School.

The inheritance of the king has been passed down, and I believe they will get better and better.

In such a situation, other coaches cannot be envied...

The eyes they looked at Wang Xi were filled with all kinds of complicated emotions.

"Why isn't it our team?"

If it was before, the supervision of Didong College would never have such extravagant demands.

Their team's ace pitcher, now a sophomore. Theoretically speaking, at this time, there will never be such a top-notch pitcher entering Didong High School.

Geniuses are always arrogant, how could they be willing to sit on the cold bench for a year and a half?

But now, the fact is happening right in front of you. The ace pitcher of Qingdao High School is also a sophomore. And his position is much more stable than that of their ace pitcher at Imperial College.

Under such circumstances, Wang Xi was able to join Qingdao High School, and naturally he could also join Didong High School.

At this time, the supervisor of Didong High School felt that his bowels were about to regret.

On the other side, the supervisor of Pharmacist High School bombarded Lei City, and it was not much better.

Although he grinned, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

I thought they had done a very good job in recruiting this year, but I didn't expect that there was still a big gap compared to Qingdao High School.

The biggest thorn in West Tokyo now looks even tougher than before.

Why did he join Yakushi High School suddenly, if it were in other areas, it would be much easier for him to get into Koshien.

"Hey, only geniuses who grew up in such a harsh environment can go further in the future."

Muttering to himself, he turned his attention to his son.

Thunder City!

In any case, Hong Leizang had 100% confidence in his own son's strength.

Go ahead.

Your opponent has become more terrifying than ever.

Everyone in the audience was amazed by Wang Xi's performance, and even the commentator of Jingu Stadium kept repeating Wang Xi's name at this time.

The last time I saw such an awesome newcomer was Eijun Sawamura in their team.

Unexpectedly, another player like this has appeared in Qingdao High School.

This kind of feeling is very strange, it feels as if I have witnessed the development of a big devil again.

No wonder the commentary is so excited.

Outside, Wang Xi has been praised as a flower, but in the rest area of ​​Qingdao High School, the performance is very dull.

They are five points ahead, and they can't see much joy.

Especially the 23rd grade players, their faces are surprisingly solemn.

The pressure that newcomers bring to them is unimaginable.

It's okay for the players to do this, even the supervisors and coaches are very indifferent.

Wang Xi obviously scored a well-timed hit, but when he came back, he was greeted with such a cold reception.

No matter how mature the guy is, he still feels very uncomfortable at this time. He sat on the lounge chair without saying a word, waiting for the seventh inning to start.

In the first half of the seventh inning, it was Qingdao High School's turn to attack again.

The first to stand on the strike zone is still Yoichi Kuromori.

"Hip-hop!"

Ignoring the low-pressure atmosphere in the rest area, Kuramochi stood in the strike area, looking full of fighting spirit.

His previous performance was not disgraceful, and there was natural reason to relax.

On the other side, in the rest area, Sawamura Eijun, who was sitting honestly on the rest chair, suddenly waved at Yuuki General Secretary and Wang Xi.

The soul of the ace pitcher in the team, actively invited them.

Wang Xi and General Jicheng did not show the vigour of a stinging junior, and honestly came to Sawamura Eijun.

"how do you feel?"

Eijun Sawamura's question seemed headless.

But Wang Xi and General Yuuki understood in an instant, they knew what Eijun Zemura was asking.

The question is about the pitch of Tianjiu Guangsheng!

"Strong!"

The words of the general secretary are very concise and have the demeanor of his brother.

When he said this, his face turned red.

I don't know if I'm ashamed or not.

Sawamura nodded, then looked at Wang Xi.

"The straight ball is very sharp, and the slider is also very tricky. Especially the new vertical slider, if you use it in combination with the ordinary slider, the effect may be doubled..."

As if facing an exam, Wang Xi answered carefully and seriously.

The little friends in the lounge area unknowingly pricked up their ears.

Even Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai unconsciously noticed the situation here.

"Observe very carefully!"

Sawamura Eijun nodded at Wang Xi and continued: "Did you rely on your own strength to hit the ball just now? Or did you miss it?"

Perhaps he did not expect that Sawamura Eijun would ask such a straightforward question, and the expression on Wang Xi's face was obviously stunned. But he still answered very honestly.

"Both."

"Because I knew from the beginning that I couldn't hit the vertical slider, I started with a normal slider..."

In the end, Tianjiuguangsheng also threw an ordinary slider!

Of course, Wang Xi hit the ball with his own strength!

But he avoided the vertical slider from the beginning, and it was okay to say that it was covered.

"About what I thought."

Sawamura Eijun nodded approvingly.

A few of the friends around had a look of fear in their eyes.

Akiu Kosei's sliding ball is absolutely as tricky as Sawamura Eijun's level 2 changing ball.

The reason why Sawamura Eijun's ball is not easy to hit is because he knows more, not to say that his ball is more tricky than Tianjiu Guangsheng.

Through the previous fight, it is not that the batters at Qingdo High School aim at the slider and shoot.

However, the results were no exception.

None of them were able to hit!

With such a tricky ball path, Wang Xi can actually hit the ball with his own strength.

The strength of this new student may have surpassed most of the old students on the scene.

"This opponent in front of me can be ranked in the top 20 nationwide. It can be regarded as one of the top pitchers in the country!"

Eijun Sawamura seemed to be stating a common thing, his tone was slow and slow.

"We are now different from before. We are the king who dominated the summer and spring in a row. If you are not sure, hit the pitcher's ball. I am afraid it will be difficult to get the number!"

Eijun Sawamura's words are not only like educating Wang Xi, but also like conveying information to other teammates.

Everyone looked at Sawamura Eijun thoughtfully.

"Across the country, the teams that can truly threaten our Qingdao High School can be counted on ten fingers! Every ace pitcher in these teams is more powerful than Tianjiu Guangsheng in front of him. If you don't have the confidence to fight against such an opponent, it will be very difficult to win the title at Qingdao High School!"

"You have all played against your opponents three times just now. The closest time you have swung the bat, you are more than five centimeters away from other people's pitches. Wang Xi was dealt with twice, and the last time was played by luck. . Coupled with your lack of experience in defense..."

"If I were the supervisor of our Qingdao High School at this time, I would definitely not hand over the name of the main force to you. Although your strike strength is no worse than some main forces, there are too many deficiencies in defense. If it is not for strike strength If it's so dazzling that I and the team can't give up, I won't even give you a place in the main force."

Hearing Sawamura Eijun's words, both Yucheng and Wang Xi had very shocked expressions.

Miyuki next to him scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

He knew that Sawamura Eijun wanted to take the opportunity to teach his juniors a lesson, but would this statement be too harsh?

Overall, the performance of these two junior brothers is still very good. Even as Sawamura Eijun said, there is no way to become the main force for the time being. But being a rotation player should be fine...

Sawamura Eijun ignored the expressions on the faces of the two and continued.

"There are still three months before the start of the summer games. If you want to be an indispensable member of the team. Think about what you can do for the team now?"

"Climb up hard, I'll stand here waiting for you."
