v2 Chapter 26： : Do you know Sawamura?

In Tokyo, the spring competitions are naturally less valued than the summer competitions and autumn competitions that can determine the number of places to play in Koshien. 【No Pop-up Novel Network】Especially after entering the top sixteen in Tokyo and having determined the seed quota for the summer competition, this emphasis is even lower.

Of course, this is not to say that it is not taken seriously at all. After all, the top two teams in Tokyo can participate in the Kanto competition. Although the Kanto competition is not as famous as Koshien, it is also the top competition in the Kanto region.

To be able to play in the Kanto competition and get a good honor is also very tempting for the giants in Tokyo. Another point is that most of the tyrants in Kanto have national-level strength. It is also a very rare competition object for the Tokyo tycoons who are preparing for the summer competition.

Therefore, after the top sixteen, some wealthy families who are interested in the country will definitely not mind going further.

Qingdao High School is ambitious to revive this time, and naturally will not miss such an opportunity. They want to play in the Kanto Conference no matter what, and challenge the national powerhouse.

So this semi-final, Qing Dao is still very attentive.

As for the tactical training and cooperation, a lot has been carried out this week.

As a pitcher of the First Army, Sawamura naturally had to follow along. Not only him, but also Xiao Gu Xiao.

At this time, the gap between the two freshmen pitchers became obvious.

Sawamura performed very well in every aspect. Xiao Gu Xiao, except for his terrifying pitching, at the pitcher's position, he doesn't know anything at all.

This time too, he, who was supposed to fill at first base, made a mistake when he caught the ball.

"Do not mind!"

Jiang Guxiao didn't know whether it was because he was too thick-skinned, or was really stupid, and even signaled to his teammates not to mind too much.

"Don't make a mistake, you are the one who made the mistake, give me some enlightenment."

"Even if you don't ask you to be like Sawamura, you can't make mistakes when you need to fill up."

"How do you play the game like this?"

"Also, don't put on an indifferent expression, it's your fault! It's you!!!"

The players of the Qingdao First Army unceremoniously started the mode of complaining to Jianggu.

At this time, Danbo was still very senior, telling Xiaogu Xiao to pay attention to the defense, and to prepare for the defense the moment the ball was thrown.

"After the ball is thrown, the pitcher is the ninth fielder on the field, never forget that phrase."

At the end, Danbo also poured a bowl of J soup for Jiang Gu Xiao.

On the other hand, Sawamura's performance was different.

Pinning, stealing, pinning, guarding, filling...

When he really started to engage in defense training, Sawamura's performance was enough to make everyone look at him. His strength, his comprehensiveness, did not look like a fifteen-year-old boy who had just graduated from high school. (It wasn't originally.)

Seeing Sawamura's performance, Ota Minister's delight could hardly find Bei.

"Sawamura-san can be used as a main pitcher. I believe it will be fine to give him some key scenes."

That's what he suggested to Kataoka.

Takashima Rei hugged his chest, also satisfied. You know, Sawamura was invited to join the team after a lot of hard work.

"Don't underestimate the honor Sawamura has achieved in middle school. Although the intensity and rhythm of middle school games are not as good as high school, their tactical arrangements are also very good. As the team's pitcher and coach, Sawamura can lead the team. His experience and mentality are also a huge asset as the team won the national championship two years in a row."

This means, obviously.

There is no problem in handing over key scenes to Sawamura, but they are people who have won the national hegemony. Even if high school baseball has received more attention, the national hegemon is the hegemon, and they have the experience of reaching the top.

Will the person who can win the national hegemony be nervous in the high school game?

This is of course impossible.

In this regard, Kataoka has nothing to say. Although Danbo's pitching is good, since he regained his fighting spirit, it can be said that it is getting better and better.

But when it comes to comprehensive strength, he may not necessarily be comparable to Sawamura, who is two years younger than him.

Sawamura is too comprehensive, especially after getting his true biography (covered pitching), his pitching strength has risen rapidly.

In terms of strength, the current Sawamura is actually Qingdao's most trustworthy pitcher.

"If he can win in the semifinals, I will arrange for him to play in the Kanto Conference. If his pitching skills are almost the same, let him try outfielder."

In the end, Sawamura and Kataoka made such an arrangement.

"Outfielder?"

Ota looked at Kataoka in surprise.

In his opinion, letting Sawamura go to guard the outfielder is a bit too much.

Takashima Rei was surprised.

Not only pitching, but even Sawamura's blows, was Kataoka taken a fancy to?

If the ace pitcher wants to be on the field all the time, it is generally arranged in two positions, the mound and the outfielder. It's rare in the pros, but in high school it's all too common for ace pitchers to be outfielders.

There are mainly two aspects to consider.

The first is that even if the ace pitcher is on the field, even if he doesn't get on the pitching mound, he can give other friends a psychological comfort. Another is that, in case the substitute pitcher fails and encounters a crisis situation, the ace pitcher can immediately replace the pitcher mound.

Therefore, the real high school ace will never end unless the opponent is too weak!

Otherwise, if you replace the trump card, you will be helpless when you encounter a crisis. The rules of high school baseball, however, are that once a player is off the field, he must never play again. It's not like basketball or football.

Kataoka has made up his mind to cultivate Sawamura as an ace.

Of course he did it for other reasons. For example, being an outfielder is also good for training Sawamura's long passing and ball speed. There is also a very important point. Even if Aojima is so strong now, Kataoka's blow to Sawamura still can't turn a blind eye.

Amazing!

Although Sawamura is not a strong hitter, he has a batting average of more than 60% and has flexible tactical hitting skills.

Ordinary opponents are nothing, but Sawamura's attack is an unparalleled weapon in the offensive.

Regardless of that aspect, Kataoka believes that Sawamura has the strength to become the main fighting force of Qingdo.

It was still Chris who supervised the execution, and Sawamura began to get in touch with outfielder defense, and it was also Akaya Kuraya who practiced with him. As an outfielder, Akatsuki Fukugu did a good job. He has no problem catching and passing the ball, but is very talented.

Sawamura himself is even better.

He was also an outfielder in Akagi, and his skills as an outfielder are also very familiar When Sawamura's first army gradually showed his presence, Qingdo ushered in their spring semifinals.

The day before the game.

Kuramochi left the classroom, ready to go to practice.

At this time, a little beauty with shawl hair suddenly appeared behind him.

"Hee hee, Master Ban Hua, what are your orders?"

Recognizing the person, Kuramochi was elated, but he didn't expect that his uncle Kuramochi would also have a day when the peach blossoms flooded.

That group of flowers shyly glanced at Cangji, and they made the child's heart itch when they looked at him.

"Well, Kuramochi, you belong to the baseball team, right?"

"yes."

"Then do you know Sawamura?"

...
