v2 Chapter 45： : Game 3

Even if the heart is tired and crooked, there is still no way to shirk the game.

That afternoon, the Qingdao High School baseball team ushered in their third opponent. It is said to be the runner-up in Texas last year, and the name is also a long list of English characters.

Without transliteration, there are probably not many people who can pronounce this name completely.

Not even Sawamura, who considers himself to be proficient in English.

Sawamura only has the knowledge of oral English communication. When it comes to professional vocabulary, he really doesn't necessarily know much.

To put it bluntly, just listen, there is no problem. It's a little hard to read.

Fortunately, this alphabetic language is relatively easy. After reading, writing is not particularly difficult to master.

But even so, Sawamura Eijun has not studied systematically, especially some professional and unfamiliar vocabulary, he is even more puzzled by the second monk.

Fortunately, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have little interest in their opponents. No one asked Sawamura Eijun to break the casserole to the end.

Judging from the game they played with the players from abc high school before.

It doesn't take much effort to defeat an opponent of the level of a North American college.

In this game, Qingdao High School's lineup has made a very big adjustment.

The first is the adjustment of the shooting partner.

The pitcher is Kawakami, a third-year senior, and the first-year elementary school DiOmura is the catcher.

At the beginning, among the first-year freshmen who were promoted from Qingdo High School, Okumura actually did not exist.

Because at that time, whether it was the level of intimacy with the team, or the achievements of the players from middle school, including the ability the players showed after entering the team...

Okumura's performance was only good, not conspicuous.

Of course, it is impossible to promote him to the first army with the background of other better players.

Therefore, after the supervision of Kataoka and the research of the coaching team at that time, Okumura was placed in the Second Army for training.

At that time, whether it was Director Kataoka or other coaches of the Qingdo High School baseball team. Basically, they don't think Okumura will be able to advance to the top 20 people in the first army before the summer competition.

At most, he will become the main force of the team's rotation after Miyuki's retirement this term.

After all, compared with Okumura, Yui Kaoru's performance is obviously more than one head higher.

Unexpectedly, an accident.

Sawamura Eijun and Miyuki Kazuya, the main shooting partner, were sent to participate in the exchange competition with Los Angeles, North America.

The army is temporarily absent.

Okumura was exceptionally promoted to the First Army as a catcher's backup.

The golden scale is not a thing in the pool, it will turn into a dragon when it meets the wind and cloud.

This little guy who did not show much strength in the normal test, jumped into a dragon in the practice game with the strong team.

Everyone in the Qingdo High School coaching staff was stunned.

Not to mention the excellent performance in his own job, but only the hits won by others. Five hits and four hits. The hit rate is 80%!

Even the coaching staff of the baseball club of Qingdo High School had a collective headache.

It is also impossible for them to send such good seedlings back to the Second Army!

Since then, Okumura has risen to become the team's second-best catcher after Miyuki and Ono.

In today's game, we put Okumura and Kawakami on the field at the same time. It is also for Okumura to better lead the team.

Do not doubt, you are not mistaken.

It is to let Okumura, a little guy in the first year, lead the team.

Even though Kawakami is in the third grade, his pitching is also very distinctive.

But at the end of the day, his personality isn't the type to run a team.

Naturally, the heavy burden was placed on Okumura.

In addition to the two of them, almost all of them are substitutes and rotation main players.

The absolute main force is sitting in the rest area to rest.

Playing against an amateur team like North American High School and sending the star players of Qingdo High School on the field is a bit bullying.

That gap can't be filled by anything.

"The opponent is the runner-up in this area of ​​Texas, and his strength should be much stronger than that of abc colleges. Don't be careless!"

Before the players entered the field, Director Kataoka wanted to boost their morale.

But after saying a few words, he couldn't go on.

In the face of an opponent of this level, Director Kataoka didn't know what to say.

So he could only choose to be silent and let the players play freely.

It is worth noting that in today's game, Supervision Kataoka sent his secret weapon, Chen Ping.

"Don't steal bases..."

For Chen Ping's performance on the court, Supervisor Kataoka obviously did not have much expectations. He just repeatedly told Chen Ping not to steal the base.

The most important task on the field is to feel the atmosphere of the game.

With these few months of sharpening the gun, Chen Ping's technology in all aspects has already taken shape.

What he lacks the most now is the game!

Only after a lot of games can he still stand up.

Only then can he be qualified to become the mainstay of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

But for the summer competition, Chen Ping was used as a secret weapon. When I was in the island country, even in practice games, I couldn't send Chen Ping too much.

Well now, in a foreign country in North America, there is absolutely no need to worry about this aspect.

After all, apart from the game with the Dream Team, there will be no live broadcasts of other communication games.

At most, let the reporter write the report.

As long as Chen Ping does not come up with jaw-dropping data during the competition.

For example, run to base in 3.5 seconds.

Then don't worry about his name being passed back to the island country.

The game officially begins.

The runner-up in the Texas area, facing Qingdao High School, showed timidity from the beginning.

No way, let's not talk about Qingdao High School's original reputation in the island country.

Even after coming to North America, the two games played were enough to make the opponent tremble.

One presses the Texas varsity, and the other blood washes the quarterfinals of the Texas area.

And it was a replacement.

What's the fun in this?

Fortunately, the pitcher the Qingdao High School baseball team started with was not their ace, nor was it the jaw-dropping fastball pitcher.

The Texas runner-up breathed a sigh of relief.

So happy!

In fact, they no longer expect to be able to defeat Qingdao High School.

Although their players and supervisors shouted the slogan loudly, everyone knew it clearly.

It is impossible to beat the Qingdao High School baseball team with their strength.

Not to mention that they are playing against the main force of the Qingdao High School baseball team, even if the opponents are all substitutes, they have no chance.

Qingdao High School can rely on the bench and abuse ABC High School to 18:0.

If you give them this opportunity, you can't even kill them.

With such a big gap in strength, they can only win less when they lose.

The game officially begins.

In the face of Kawakami's pitching, the opponent also showed a very high fighting spirit at the beginning.

Compared with Eijun Sawamura and Akatsuki, who is extremely fast in ball speed.

The opponent in front of him is obviously much better to deal with.

In this case, let them reverse the game, and they have no confidence yet.

But should be able to get a few hits and points.

Human ambition grows rapidly.

After seeing such signs, the players on the North American side immediately burst into a very amazing fighting spirit.

Especially when attacking, he is more active.

But the result did not make them happy.

Outside corner!

Inside corner! !

Outside corner! ! !

From the perspective of the runner-up hitter in the Texas area, almost all the **** Kawakami threw are from the corners.

It made them very uncomfortable.

They are really rare to see opponents with such accurate ball control.

When the pitcher throws all the **** to this kind of corner, the hitter will feel that the strike belt is particularly spacious.

Aiming for the ball becomes extremely difficult.

"If it doesn't work, choose a corner and attack!!"

Their supervisors are not dry, and seeing that there is no chance, they immediately came up with a strategy to target them.

Compared to the speechless power of Sawamura Eijun and Furuya Akatsuki, the opponent in front of him is obviously much easier to deal with.

For the Texas runner-up team, it is a matchable opponent.

With such confidence, the game begins.

The Texas runner-up players quickly realized that the seemingly harmless opponent in front of them was far more sinister and vicious than they had imagined.

All of his **** went to the corners.

That way, even the batter can knock the ball out.

The ball also went out of bounds.

And soon, Kawakami will throw some particularly tricky change shots.

For example, there is a batter who is faced with the kind of change ball that suddenly falls to the bottom of his foot.

By the time the batter reacted, the bat had already been swung out.

Three innings.

Players on this side of North America didn't take a single hit from Kawakami.

Instead, their own garrison was riddled with holes.

In the beginning, they dropped two points.

Cooperating with the players who scored these two points, even the little friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were very surprised One of them was Chen Ping, and the other was Okumura.

Chen Ping served as the first stick in this game, and his defensive position was shortstop.

Although Kuramochi did not disclose his mentoring relationship with Chen Ping. But the coaching staff of Qingdao High School's baseball club are not fools. They soon found that Chen Ping's technical characteristics are very suitable for the team's first and shortstop.

"He has a talent for this far beyond any other position!"

That's what the assistant coach described to Director Kataoka at the time.

The shortstop position is still very competitive. Even after Kuramochi retired, there were several players who could compete for this position.

It is said that it is really inappropriate to arrange Chen Ping in such a position.

However, Supervisor Kataoka did not deliberately suppress Chen Ping's talent and let him try other positions.

Instead, let him concentrate on practicing the position.

"The most important thing is to be able to play as soon as possible!"

From this, it is not difficult to see that Supervisor Kataoka has a preference for Chen Ping.

Chen Ping, who is playing today, also gave the coaching staff a surprise.

He was the first to stand on the strike zone. Facing the pitcher's pitch, he swung his bat without any hesitation.

"Ping!"

After the bat touched the baseball, it landed in the field of defense.

Chen Ping himself was stupid there.

Why did you call it out?

This was the first time he hit a baseball in an official game.

"Run, you idiot!!!"

Kuramochi in the rest area screamed in anger.

It was only at this time that Chen Ping reacted, he trotted and got to first base.

The Qingdao players who saw this scene.

Excited to death one by one.

"well played!!!"

"Wonderful job!!"

"You're the best…!…"
