v2 Chapter 18: : Miracles of the Past

The story that Ochiai tells next is very novel for the students of Qingdo High School.

The most important thing in storytelling is a sense of substitution. If Ochiai is talking about other people's affairs, the friends of Qingdo High School may not be able to hear it. But the protagonist in Ochiai's story is not other people, but the current ace pitcher Sawamura Eijun of Qingdo High School.

What happened to the little friends around him, the players of Qingdao High School, naturally listened with relish, and kept urging Ochiai to continue.

What Ochiai was talking about was the first time Akagi Middle School participated in the Nagano Prefecture Competition, and the match against Nagano Metropolitan High School.

There is nothing to say about the specific plot of the story. What is interesting is the comparison of the strengths of the two sides.

At that time, the gap between Akagi Middle School and Nagano Metropolitan High School was even bigger than the gap between Qingdo High School and Mingchuan Academy now.

The players of Mingchuan Academy are not strong, but they are only weak. They are generally qualified high school baseball players.

Although not better than the average high school baseball player, but not much worse.

But what kind of team is Akagi Middle School?

"I saw with my own eyes the batter ran in the opposite direction after hitting a hit, that is, in the direction of third base? Can you imagine this?"

Ochiai's voice was not high, but there was a firmness to it.

Players from Qingdao High School, look at me, I see disbelief in your eyes.

If they heard correctly, what Ochiai just said was the Nagano prefecture's quarter-finals, right? Even if the overall strength of Nagano County cannot be compared with that of a fierce battle zone like Tokyo, the team that can make it to the quarter-finals will not be so stupid, right?

Thinking about it, they turned their eyes to Sawamura for verification.

Sawamura's whole face was as red as a monkey's butt. Hanging him on that pole will stop all the cars coming and going, and people think it's a red light.

Shame, so shameful!

What is good things don't go out, and bad things travel thousands of miles.

Thinking of what his little friends did, Sawamura wanted to find a piece of tofu and hit him to death.

Yamaguchi or Ashin?

It's been so long that Sawamura can't quite remember who it is. But it should be Ashin, because Sawamura was very impressed with that, because he was at third base at the time, and after seeing the batter go out, he ran back.

And Ashin, run against him!

It's hard to imagine Sawamura's mood at that time.

However, he was in a very bad mood right now, so he decided to use all the joint skills he learned from Kuramochi-senpai to Ashin well, so that the boy could remember it for a long time.

Seeing Sawamura like this, other people still don't understand, what Ochiai said is true.

At this time, the eyes they looked at Sawamura were even more different!

Could it be that Sawamura led such a baseball team to dominate the country?

"The difference in strength is so big, but at the end of the game, it was still the baseball team of Akagi Middle School who won."

Saying that, Ochiai put his eyes on Sawamura.

"I think there is probably no other student than Sawamura in this world. Do you know more about such a so-called one-man team? I wonder what is the weakness of a team like yours from the perspective of your founder?"

Immoral! Dada is missing! ! !

Sawamura was there, embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, but Ochiai didn't understand his mood and brought him out.

Speaking of this humiliating past, Sawamura certainly avoided it.

But now, all the players in Qingdao High School have their eyes on him, including Miyuki and Master Chris.

Even if Sawamura wanted to escape, there was nothing he could do.

In the end, under the watchful eyes of Kataoka, Ochiai and all the players of the first army of Qingdo High School, Sawamura reluctantly explained Akagi's weakness.

"I really don't understand the situation of Mingchuan College, but as far as Chicheng is concerned, the biggest weakness is actually the pitcher."

The biggest weakness in the pitcher?

Everyone's eyes looked at Sawamura in confusion. Wasn't the original Chicheng Middle School built with Sawamura as the core?

Sawamura should be the strongest point of the entire team, how can it be called the weak point?

This is not reasonable.

"Stinky boy, don't think that everyone is watching you, you're just talking nonsense there."

Kuramochi even questioned directly with dissatisfaction.

Sawamura raised his hand, signalling Kuramochi to be calm.

"The weakest point of a one-man team, of course, is that one person. For example, building a team is similar to building a weapon. What characteristics do you want the weapon to have, you need to What kind of appearance does this weapon make. For example, if you build a hammer, you will definitely not use this hammer to stab people, because the greatest ability of a hammer is not to stab, but to smash. If you build a knife, you need to Use this knife to slash people. You build bows and arrows to shoot..."

"A one-man team is a bit like a sword in a weapon. The strongest point of the sword is of course the position of the tip of the sword. As long as the tip of the sword is sharp enough, the sword will naturally be indestructible. The one-man team is like a sharp sword. You, other positions play an auxiliary role. At this time, people often avoid confrontation with the tip of the sword in order to deal with the sword, and attack other parts of the sword Compared with the sharp tip of the sword, the Naturally, other parts are not as deterrent as the tip of the sword. But the opponent is not stupid. When you attack other parts, the tip of the sword immediately greets you, and he forces you to fight with the tip of his sword. With some energy, the attack power will naturally drop. Even if you chop at other positions on the sword, you will not be able to use your full power."

Sawamura's long speech made the players of Qingdao High School stupefied for a moment.

They really didn't expect that Sawamura, who was laughing and joking with them on weekdays, would speak so insightfully!

But when you think about it, it's not surprising. After all, Sawamura is different from them after all.

Sawamura can be said to be the person who has won the highest honor in the current Qingdao High School team!

With a civilian team twice into the national competition, and dominate the country.

This matter is done, but it is not as simple as the babbling of the upper lip and the lower lip.

This time it is indeed a miracle!

Not only as a player, he was also the acting coach of Akagi Middle School at the time.

"Everyone thinks that the tip of the sword is terrible, but they don't know that the tip of the sword is also the sword, the weakest point in the whole part. Compared with the thick parts of other parts, the tip of the sword is too thin because it is sharp!"

When Sawamura finished saying those words, Ochiai took the opportunity.

"That's why you guys were able to defeat Nagano Metropolitan High School in the first place! Because he was thinking about targeting others to attack and escaping a head-to-head confrontation with you? The opinion I want to add is very simple, the order of Director Kataoka did not Wrong. It is very difficult for Qingdao High School to win this game without completely defeating Yang Sunchen. Even if the situation of the game encounters resistance, please don’t forget this.”
