v2 Chapter 8： : This generation!

"coach?"

Miyuki, who was about to catch the ball, looked at Ochiai in surprise.

With his intelligence, it was not difficult to guess what Ochiai meant when he said this. In fact, when he was used there, even Jiang Gu Xiao understood it, but did his eyes light up without looking at it?

But according to the training plan he and Sawamura had set before, he wanted Xiao Gu Xiao to hone ball control first.

When there is no bottleneck in the control of the ball, it is not necessarily a good thing to give Xiaogu Xiao stuff too much.

"I know, but in high school baseball, there is also a so-called order in danger. I just make suggestions. Whether or not to accept it depends on him."

Meaning the team needs it now.

Yu Xing smiled bitterly. He didn't know the problems the team was encountering, and encountered strong enemies one after another, and even continued battles.

In this case, it is not impossible to consume Sawamura himself, but there are hidden dangers for sure.

So the team now needs a pitcher to share the pressure on Sawamura.

Moreover, Sawamura himself is aiming for Major League Baseball.

The team is now very cautious about his training and games. Unless there is no way, they will never consume Sawamura excessively.

After all, Sawamura is still in the growth stage of his body. If he gets tired from the competition, there will be no place for Qingdo to cry.

For Qingdao High School, after winning the national hegemony, having a graduate like Sawamura is even more important than winning another national championship.

At such a moment, someone really needs someone to share the pressure of Sawamura.

When the coaching staff discussed with him before, they agreed that this task should be given to Kawakami. There are still many places where Xiaogu Xiao is immature. Let him play the game, and no one will hit the base. Once someone hits the base, there is likely to be a huge crisis.

Now Coach Ochiai wants to guide Sawamura, what does he want?

At this time, Miyuki couldn't say anything, he could only watch the development of things silently.

"After coming here, Director Kataoka has taught you very carefully, and your strength has steadily improved. Up to now, simply speaking, you have reached a level close to the top in the country. What is lacking is nothing more than defense. You're too young to play with someone on base."

The pitcher is the person who holds the ball the longest on the court. Once this person is immature, the attacking side can do too many things!

"Normally speaking, after half a year of training, your skills should be able to be honed. At that time, it's not bad to be a blockbuster and compete with Sawamura for the trump card. However, the team needs your strength now. If possible, would you like to accept another future?"

Ochiai's words made Miyuki bewildered.

He never knew before that this seemingly lackluster coach had such a good eloquence.

"What future?"

Sure enough, Xiao Gu Xiao couldn't stand the temptation.

"Since someone hits base, it's easy to cause problems. Then don't let the batter hit the base. Have you ever thought about learning a new tiebreaker?"

Ochiai stroked his moustache and said in a low voice.

East Tokyo, Teido High School Baseball Club.

"Hey!!!"

In the middle of the pitch, a huge voice came out.

"Idiot, how can you hit the ball with such a swing? Don't be stupid, if Sawamura can be hit with a home run at will, then he won't be able to keep the score so far. I don't need a big swing. , let alone touch the ball with your stick. Slightly, rely on body twist to drive the swing. Just hit the ball out. Once someone hits base, immediately use hit-and-run and forced scoring. Trust our own defense , a point is a victory.”

The one who shouted was an uncle in his fifties or sixties. Although he was not young, he was not old at all, but looked fierce.

He is Didong's supervisor, Okamoto 18!

At this time, there were two pitching machines on Didong's court.

Their batters, divided into two teams, were constantly doing hitting drills.

The pitching machine was set up very oddly, and the ball speed was one hundred and forty-five kilometers. This is not the strangest thing, the real strange thing is that the pitching machine also moved forward about a meter and a half or so.

Even a player from Didong played such a strange ball, and some monks were puzzled for a while.

Coach Okamoto is instructing them to strike.

Not far from them, Di Dong's shooting partner was doing pitching practice.

The one who threw the ball was Little Sun, and the one who received the ball was naturally ridiculed by Kuramochi as a middle-aged man.

"Senior, don't you need to practice?"

Taiyo Mukai asked strangely.

Dry, who is catching the ball, answered calmly.

"I've practiced!"

That is to say, such a strange ball, he is used to it!

Really reliable!

Mukai smiled.

"The rest, relying on the pitching machine alone has no effect. You have to really stand on the strike zone to experience it."

"Speaking of which, your hand is too stinky. You even got Qing Dao in the first round?"

Mukai suddenly remembered something, and glanced at him reproachfully.

"You are in the same class as Sawamura, you should know him well, right?"

asked suddenly.

When he left the team from middle school, Sawamura had just made a name for himself from middle school. He really didn't know much about Sawamura. At most, he only knew his name through the TV.

But Mukai is different. When Mukai was in the third grade of middle school, Sawamura should be a genius in the middle of the day.

"Oh, of course."

In Mukai's smile, there is a bit of nostalgia.

"Although he may not know me, I have seen him play with my own eyes. A long time ago, it was Sawamura's victory over Narimiya-senpai!"

"O~"

Do look very interested.

Mukai shook his head: "There's nothing to say. At that time, he was already as strong as a monster. It was also inspired by him that I was able to develop a new pitch."

"Speaking of which, isn't Sawamura your benefactor?"

dry asked.

"It's true to say that, I was inspired by him and discovered that in addition to the plane's inner and outer heights, the strike belt has depth It's also since then that I think pitching is really fun. "

Gan glanced at Mukai with emotion.

Half a year ago, when he heard Mukai say these words, his brain seemed to be struck by lightning, and he said unceremoniously, Mukai's words completely refreshed his worldview.

It's true that Sawamura is a monster, but isn't this one in front of him a monster?

"Hee hee, if I really get to the court, I will repay my gratitude."

The current Mukai is confident that he will never lose to Sawamura.

In their generation, the competition for first pitchers is fierce.

Among them, Sawamura took the lead. But Mukai believes in himself and will catch up soon.

The Koshien quarterfinals are just the beginning.
