v2 Chapter 12： :preference

In less than three weeks, more than 100 high schools will select teams that can represent West Tokyo in Koshien.

With such a tight schedule, the schedule must be very dense. Only two days after the end of the first game, Qingdao High School was about to face the second game.

Before the second game, Kataoka deliberately went to the bullpen to observe the state of several pitchers.

In the bullpen, Sawamura is the best pitcher.

His imagining exercises with Chris were very fulfilling.

Island nation, major league, minor league, present and past…

All powerful hitters became their opponents.

In infinite imagination, they defeated these opponents one by one.

"This shot is too sweet! If the batter is really Bruce, this shot has just been blown out."

Chris said sternly.

Sawamura raised his hand apologetically.

After all, man is not a machine, and he also misses shots.

"Next opponent, Sakata. There are two outs on the field, and there is someone at second base. Let's start!"

Chris and Sawamura continue to wander in the ocean of their imagination.

Ochiai, who was watching, couldn't help but admire.

"I've been teaching high school baseball for more than ten years. It's the first time I've seen a player who can imaginatively practice like Sawamura-kun in the first grade. With him and Chris-kun, pitcher Yau of Qingdo High School. , it can be completely handed over to them.”

This is a disguised recommendation of a two-person combination to deal with the city's third-highest!

Kataoka nodded and said nothing.

If there is any doubt about Chris, then there is no doubt about Sawamura's strength.

He is the ace of Qing Dao!

"You guys go ahead and do ten sets of 10 to 15 balls."

Kataoka said.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Sawamura raised his hand to signal that he received the order.

While Chris agreed, his heart sank.

Kataoka supervised the conscious increase in the number of pitches by Sawamura.

This shows that in the eyes of Supervisor Kataoka, Sawamura's status is irreplaceable. When it comes to a critical situation, he will still send Sawamura to the court even if there may be a play-off.

Although this trust was earned by Sawamura through his own efforts, little by little.

But it was the first time in Qingdo High School that a first-year player could gain such full trust.

I hope that Sawamura will not take the same path as himself because of too much pressure.

Chris thought worriedly.

At the same time, he also made up his mind at this time, he must take a good look at Sawamura and prevent him from going crazy.

"Senior Chris, I'm done running."

While Chris was practicing with Sawamura's partner, a panting figure appeared in the distance.

It is Xiaogu Xiao.

"Can the senior take my ball now?"

Pure eyes stared at Chris, making Chris look a little hairy.

Chris didn't know where he had provoked this little brother, and let this little brother abandon Miyuki and follow his ass.

"You can start pitching, but it's not me who catches the ball."

Chris made a pause gesture with Sawamura, and then brought Akatsuki to a net.

There is a shelf ahead of the ball, and the center of the shelf is empty, the size of which is exactly the same as the strike belt.

There are also horizontal bars on the shelf, which can be fixed to divide the strike belt into upper and lower or left and right.

"Your biggest problem right now is not ball speed and power, but ball control. First of all, just throw in the strike zone. 50 shots a day, remember to give it your all, don't give up ball speed just because of ball control. After the past, the net will stop it, then pick it up and clean it yourself. The 50 **** do not mean that you will shoot 50 **** in total, but make 50 strikes. You understand? When will you be able to do it? 50 out of 80 shots. When will we start the next training session. Of course, this is just an extra training project, and you can’t stop your usual practice.”

After Chris finished speaking, he went back to the bullpen to practice with Sawamura.

Miyuki couldn't stand this kind of guidance.

"Senior, in this way, there is no way to go down in a short period of time. Are you going to play?"

Chris didn't care.

"Our current basis does not need the power of Yugu Xiao, as long as he can do it before the final. Didn't you also instruct him to practice the cross ball? I believe that Yugu Xiao will break out at that time. The combat power will definitely surprise the people of Daocheng."

Miyuki thought about it, if Akatsuki Furugu could really throw the ball into the strike zone.

At that time, his explosive strength should not be underestimated.

And the most interesting thing is that Daocheng had seen Akatsuki Yugu’s pitching before, and Chris and Miyuki could also guess the easiest countermeasures they could come up with.

If Daocheng really does that.

Then Gu Xiaoxiao brought them not suffering, but bitter fruit.

Let the players train freely, Kataoka didn't interrupt a word.

After watching Sawamura and Akatsuki, he went to see Danbo again.

Danbo's fighting spirit is maintained well, and his pitching is also very powerful.

"Very good, just keep throwing the ball one by one like this!"

Kataoka nodded and said.

"Don't worry about playing, you have more chances to play. For now, leave more time for Akatsuki Furutani and Kawakami, let them familiarize themselves with the atmosphere of the arena. You and Sawamura have more It is to preserve your physical strength and ensure your own state. The games after the quarter-finals are up to you! If you can keep your fighting spirit and attention, I will let you start in the quarter-finals.”

The opponent in the quarter-finals is the third high school in the city!

Danbo raised his head, looked at Kataoka seriously and said, "Yes!"

Not only the supervisors and coaches, but also the players of Qingdao know that their real summer competition actually starts from the quarter-finals.

Only in the games after that, Qingdao High School needs to play every game seriously.

In the competition of the seed selection system, unless it is a dark horse that suddenly appears, the strength gap between the seed and the non-seed is very huge.

Qingdao High School naturally doesn't need to care about other opponents.

Of course, this is only strategically despising the opponent, and tactically it must not be done. Otherwise, Qingdao High School will inevitably capsize in the gutter.

After hearing Kataoka's words, Miyuki turned to look at Tamba.

If he remembered correctly, Tanba-senpai and the current trump card of City University and High School are really important.

When the two were in high school, they were on the same team.

Tanba-senpai has always been Zhenzhong's backup. Later, the two joined different schools and each became the ace of the team...

Danbo dropped from the ace to the bench again.

Fate is amazing!

The reason why Director Kataoka let Danba start the game in the game with the third high school in the city.

Maybe it's because of Tamba-senpai's complicated feelings right now!

He hoped that Danbo-senpai could rely on his own strength to prove that he was not a wrong choice to join Qingdao.

Privately, Director Kataoka still has some preference for Tanba-senpai.

I just hope that this preference will not put pressure on Danba-senpai!
