v2 Chapter 35： :number 1!

Three up and three down!

Four balls, three up and three down.

Sawamura's pitch didn't look strong at all, but the content of the pitch made people shudder.

The rest area of ​​Qingdao High School.

Takashima Rei was also amazed at Sawamura's performance.

"There is no blocking pitching posture, and no high leg lifts are used. It is just a simple normal pitching, which makes the opponent so embarrassed..."

"Yeah, Sawamura-san is really capable."

On the side, Minister Ota is also beating the side drum.

Why are they both doing this?

This is certainly not without reason.

In the baseball club of Qingdo High School, the strong are always respected. This is the purpose of the Qingdao High School, and it is also the principle that has been followed for so many years.

If it is said that it is the autumn of a year, and the teammates on the same team still have a year to get along with each other, there is no problem in promoting the strongest team to the main selection of the first army at this time.

But now the situation is, the summer of the year.

The third grade and these lower grade players, the total time spent together, is only two or three months. And the next summer competition will be the last summer of the third grade.

Of course, these are secondary. The most important thing is that this session of Qingdao High School was mainly established by the third grade.

Although the candidate for the ace pitcher has been determined to be Sawamura, the No. 1 back number has not yet been finalized. Whether you choose Sawamura or Tamba, it makes sense.

The main reason for choosing Danbo is to motivate the third-year players. If you add the No. 1 Danbo, then six or seven of the nine starting players may be third graders, which will definitely inspire the fighting spirit of the third graders.

Of course, choosing Sawamura is also good. It is said that in a third-year-based team, choosing a first-year pitcher as the No. 1 will definitely arouse a little emotion among the third-year players.

But you can't stand the huge gap in strength between the two. Danbo and Sawamura are not pitchers at the same level.

Choosing Danbo will indeed inspire that sense of honor in the third grade, and choosing Sawamura will also inspire the sense of honor that the strong players are respected.

And it's not just third graders who are motivated, all the main elections will be motivated. I was selected for the main election, not because I was in the seniority ranking in the third year, but because I really have the strength to be the main force.

It's all good!

Multiple-choice questions are not true or false questions. For true and false questions, you can choose right or wrong, because there is only one correct answer, and you always have a chance to get it right.

The multiple-choice questions are different, especially with a choice like this one, whether you choose Sawamura or Danbo, you are right.

From the standpoint of a bystander, this choice should be more inclined towards Sawamura.

But from the perspective of decision makers, it is difficult to say.

Supervising Kataoka, in addition to the ultimate ideal of breaking into Koshien and dominating the whole country. In normal times, he also has his own ideals and aspirations.

His greatest passion is to develop tough hitters and ace pitchers.

Being able to cultivate Sawamura and Akatsuki Furuya is a great happiness for Kataoka.

Here, there is a small knot.

After all, Danbo is the ace that Kataoka has cultivated for two years. When he sees something better, he abandons the previous one?

This is a normal thing for those supervisors whose main purpose is to achieve results, but it is a little difficult to make a decision when it comes to a mentor like Kataoka.

The status of a mentor gives Kataoka a unique charm and level of guidance.

But this same identity also limited him.

To put it harshly, Qingdao High School has not entered Koshien for five consecutive years, which is directly related to Kataoka's current character.

The stadium is like a battlefield!

Especially in a sport like baseball, the training of physical skills is only one aspect. If there is no mercenary spirit, if you simply think about hitting hard, it is inevitable that the boat will capsize in the gutter.

From this point of view, Qingdao's two rivals in the same district of West Tokyo, Daocheng Industrial and Shida Sangao.

The supervisors of their two schools are much more cunning than Kataoka.

Of course, everyone eats a cut and grows one's wisdom. After several years of tempering, Director Kataoka is definitely more slick and sophisticated than before.

But there are some things in his nature that he still can't change.

For example, now, he will take into account the thoughts of the players, and even the thoughts of Danbo himself.

Put it on other supervisors, he cares what you think? It's good to win!

Takashima Rei and Ota also knew Kataoka's personality, so they played the drums aside.

If the gap between Danbo and Sawamura is not too big, it is actually more appropriate to give Danbo the number.

But the gap between the two is so big that Danbo can't carry it back at all!

Moreover, the school dialect clearly said that it is necessary to compete fairly, not to judge seniority, and to carry forward the fine traditions of the school...

Although he didn't say it clearly, his support for Sawamura was very obvious.

Rei Takashima also knew that the school was bullshitting!

It's just that Sawamura's chances of becoming famous in the future are bigger than Tamba.

But she herself is more willing to believe Sawamura.

It's not just because of Sawamura, she recruited it with all her might.

The most important thing is because she believes that with Sawamura's strength and experience, she will inevitably lead Qingdao High School to glory.

Ace, number one!

That piece of clothing is not just a piece of clothing.

It also represents recognition for the entire team.

Only by putting on that dress, can Sawamura justifiably lead Qingdo High School forward!

Kataoka glanced at the two of them.

"This matter, I have already decided!"

Um?

The two looked at Kataoka in confusion.

"Only those who inherit the will of Qingdao High School can wear the back number of Qingdao High School and fight for Qingdao."

When Kataoka did not explain this sentence, Takashima Rei and Ota could understand a little bit, but when he finished explaining, the two became even more confused.

What is Inheriting the Will of Qingdo High School?

Sawamura was full of plans, how long did he come to Qingdo High School in total?

To say that he has inherited the will of Qingdao High School doesn't seem right.

Then Danbo But Danbo is even more wrong.

Tanba Koichiro's personality is only clearer than the two of them who are teachers.

The aggressiveness of Qingdo High School, Tanba Koichiro is afraid that he will not be able to get involved.

Director Kataoka lost his pretentious interest.

"During the Kanto Tournament final, I had already decided to hand over No. 1's back number to Sawamura. Originally, I was just worried that as a first-year he might not be able to carry the burden of No. 1. After the Kanto Tournament final, this kind of The worries are gone."

"Sawamura Eijun is a natural ace pitcher! I believe that if he carries the back number of Qingdao High School No. 1, he will take us to Qingdao High School and go further."

"However, don't tell him about this for now. I want to find a chance to talk to Danbo first."
