After Qingdao High School won the national dominance, the lives of every player in the baseball club were more or less affected.
Originally, the coaching staff was still worried about whether this would affect the situation. After all, the players are still young boys with strong vigor and vitality. If this is touted for a few words, it will start to float unconsciously, so is it worth it?
Minister Ota even suggested whether to find a psychiatrist to give each player a psychological counseling.
Even coach Ochiai said that psychological counseling is very important.
After winning the championship, in the fall or the second year, there are not no teams that directly sink. Of course, the third grade graduation is one reason. The players have not adjusted their mentality and have to guard against it.
After all, being used to flowers and applause, it is human nature to be unable to adapt to boring training.
On the contrary, it was Director Kataoka, who was relatively bland and didn't take it too seriously. He has great confidence in his disciples.
In fact, it's fine.
Sawamura is very experienced, and he has seen strong winds and waves, so there is no possibility that there is a problem with his mentality.
Yu Xing and Bai Zhou are not the kind of people who get arrogant when they are proud.
As for Kurashiki, the uncle himself thinks that Laozi is unparalleled in the world, and he also thinks that the limelight is not enough, how can he be satisfied with this?
There are no problems with the main players. Most of the other players don't even have any experience in Jiaziyuan. Maybe they are really floating there?
Only if they have really fought on the field of Jiaziyuan, can they float.
The only person with a slightly unstable mentality is Akatsuki Fukugu. The competition in Jiaziyuan made him famous in one battle, and he was praised by the people around him. He does have some mental issues.
But in the team, there is a super leader like Zemura in charge. Even if he is a little flirtatious, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
In the team, training is the same as always.
After winning the national championship, Ochiai is the first time to see a team with such a stable mentality.
"If such a team can't win the championship, is there any reason for it?"
Sometimes he would also express such emotion.
Peace of mind, training as usual on weekdays. Although everyone's life has been affected to some extent, it is not a big deal.
In this way, Qingdao High School successfully completed the transition between old and new.
certainly.
The problem is not that there is no problem. Although Qingdao only took a week to form a team with excellent combat power, this team has not been tested by the game.
Although Qingdao High School is very popular, there are countless teams waiting for him to play practice games.
But now is not the right time.
In September, the people of Qingdao High School were quite idle and had nothing to do. As the overlord of Koshien, they did not have to participate in the preliminaries for the Tokyo Autumn Competition.
But this is not the case for other teams. They all have to participate in the qualifiers, and it is a round robin.
In other words, before the final result came out, they had to prepare for the game, and they didn't have time to play a practice game with Qingdao High School.
Sawamura even encouraged Supervisor Kataoka to send an invitation to the pharmacist.
Superintendent Kataoka twitched his head and agreed.
But this invitation was politely declined!
The pharmacists also had to play round-robin matches, and their group was still very bad. The pharmacists were assigned to a group with the not-so-powerful Heishiguan.
Sawamura originally thought that with the strength of the pharmacist, it was impossible to care about the Kuroshikan. Unexpectedly, Hongleizang is very cautious, saying that the Heishiguan is very strong, and they have to go all out to be able to compete with the Heishiguan under the condition of breaking the boat.
"It's nothing like what Uncle Leizang would say."
Sawamura really guessed it right. Naturally, this rhetoric was not said by Hong Leizang, but was answered by their principal himself.
Bang Lei Zang's original words are.
"Is my brain out of my mind? Before the match with Qingdao, I specially asked them to see our strength."
The main reason for playing practice games with Daocheng is to increase the confidence of the players. In the style of the pharmacist, if they are full of confidence and go crazy, it is very difficult to beat the giants like Qingdao and Daocheng in a stable game.
The foundation cannot be cultivated in a short time.
Even with Sanada and Thunder City in hand, if you don't deal with it carefully, it will be difficult for the pharmacist to have a chance to enter the Jiaziyuan.
This place in Tokyo is too evil.
It doesn't mean that you work hard and you will get results.
Not being able to find a suitable target for practice competition has become the biggest problem of Qingdo High School.
Although the third-year seniors have graduated, they have been concerned about the formation of the new team. To put it bluntly, I just can't let it go. Even if they have a good ending now, their feelings for the team are deeper than anyone else.
Captain Formation overhears overhearing troubles while accepting a professional baseball draft scouting invitation.
So an idea took shape in his mind.
This is a later story, let's not talk about it for the time being.
After the continuous efforts of Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai, finally in the second week of school, he helped Aoshima find a practice match. The opponent is a strong school in Chiba Prefecture.
Chiba Prefecture does not have to go through the round-robin preliminaries like Tokyo, so the time is also relatively free.
This practice game, the coaching staff attaches great importance.
I designed a lot of tactics, and then made adjustments, including substitutions and even follow-ups.
As a result, in the case of Sawamura playing soy sauce all the way, the team bloodbathed the opponent with: .
Sawamura didn't have a chance to play at all, Xiaogu Xiao supported four innings, and Kawakami finished five innings.
Xiaogu Xiao gave the opponent a point because of four consecutive bad attacks. Kawakami was attacked by the opponent at the last moment and lost a point.
And Sawamura didn't take advantage of the opportunity to play at all. The original plan was to let him continue to vote, but looking at the appalling scores on the court. In the end, Supervisor Kataoka was not able to be cruel, and when the other party had fallen off the cliff, he made up for it again.
People come all the way, and if they lose, they will be embarrassed. What else do you want to do?
It is said that the new team has relatively weak firepower.
Just kidding?
In a game, he scored thirteen points in nine innings. Is such an attacking power considered weak? (Practice matches, there are no early-ending restrictions.)
The game was won, and it was a big win, a super big win.
But neither Supervisor Kataoka nor Coach Ochiai could laugh.
The reason why the game has such a result is not to say that the freshman Qingdao was already strong to this extent when Sawamura was not playing. The most important reason is that the opponent is too weak.
After Xiao Gu Xiao scored a home run, the opposing pitcher was stunned and couldn't find Bei at all.
Therefore, the players of Qingdao won the hits again and again.
This victory isn't because Qing Dao is really strong, it's just that their opponent is too weak!
In fact, at this time, in a place like Chiba Prefecture, where the team that has been eliminated has been determined to be stronger.
"It's hard to find opponents for practice matches!"
The coaching staff collectively sighed.
Just when the coaching staff was at a loss to practice their opponents, another news came quietly.
That program group, the planner and director of 'Baseball Rising Stars', came to the school to make arrangements.
