"King's return!!!"
The headline was quoted almost everywhere in the newspapers that appeared on the second day of the race.
Qingdao High School's performance in the previous competition was indeed heart-warming.
Koizumi, the president of the Mainichi News Agency, was shaking with excitement.
He's not really a baseball fan, and he doesn't even know the rules of baseball very well.
But this will not affect his love for Qingdo High School and Sawamura Eijun.
This team is so exciting.
Even a layman like him felt terribly irritated. It is conceivable how the stupid fans would behave after watching it.
certainly!
The most important reason why he feels this way is that the sponsors who have run away are coming back.
They came back crying and shouting.
The chairman of Grandland Group personally called to make additional investment.
"It will come again!"
There are stars in Jiaziyuan, and naturally there will be various benefits and benefits. Having hosted Koshien for so many years, Koizumi knows this very well. But there are not many people like Sawamura who can bring such a big appeal.
Koizumi became interested in Sawamura, and he decided to get to know him.
It's hard to say, they will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
On the other side, the people from Qingdao High School also saw the newspaper.
How should I put it, the moment they saw the newspaper, their mood was still very complicated.
Supervisor Kataoka, as always, refused to interfere with the journalists, only allowing them to visit, not allowing them to interview the players.
"We are losers!"
During training, the supervisor has been using this sentence to spur everyone.
Not only people on the outside know, but we should also know that we are losers.
"This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Put aside all previous honors, those have nothing to do with us. Our future must be created with our own hands."
"Oh!!!"
The little friends are united.
Everyone's mentality has been adjusted well. After that failure, everyone's mentality has calmed down. Now I can look at myself very well, and I can also actively face future opponents and competitions.
"Tomorrow's starting pitcher is Akatsuki. Sawamura is ready. If there is any change in the game, you are ready to make substitutions at any time."
Yesterday's game was given to Kawakami. Because he only pitched five innings, he didn't make any substitutions. He was equivalent to finishing that game.
Tomorrow's game will be handed over to Akatsuki.
Supervisor Kataoka thought so, but the opponent was Wanggu High School, and it seemed that he could not be reassured by handing it over to Akatsuki himself, so Sawamura also made preparations.
"That way you'll be safe."
"The other party is the Metropolitan School, is it really necessary to be so careful?"
Ochiai pinched the mustache on his chin and looked at Kataoka.
"They also entered Koshien a few years ago. Mr. Araki's command is very good. And I still have some impressions of their current ace Wakabayashi. We once invited him, but he was rejected. I thought he would join Teto or the city. As for the junior high school, I didn’t expect to go to Wanggu.”
"O~"
Ochiai looked very interested.
"If the other party is as talented as you said, wouldn't it be too dangerous to leave it to Jiang Gu Xiao alone?"
Kataoka nodded: "I thought so too, that's why I asked Sawamura to prepare. But this month, Akatsuki Kaguya's performance was also very good, and his strength is expected to surprise his opponents."
On the other side, the fifth bedroom.
Sawamura looked at the two guys blocking his door in amazement, confused.
"What are you two coming to me for?"
At the door were Miyuki and Akatsuki Fukugu.
One catcher, one pitcher.
Starting shootout tomorrow.
Even if they want to discuss something, it seems that they don't need to ask their own pitcher for consultation, right?
"This guy asked me something about pitching, and I felt like you were an expert on that, so I brought him straight to you."
Sawamura shrugged and followed the two out.
"What do you want to ask?"
Sawamura asked when they got to the indoor practice area.
"How can I make the batter not hit my ball?"
Xiao Gu Xiao is also welcome.
Sawamura was stunned for a moment, but he looked at Xiaogu Xiao carefully.
With great emotion in my heart, this guy has finally come this far.
For a genius like Xiao Gu, his own pitching is enough to eat for a lifetime. And such pitchers are rarely able to reach the pinnacle.
Too much reliance on talent will eventually be exhausted by talent.
There are also very few of them who will realize that their talents cannot last a lifetime. Like Xiao Gu Xiao, he has begun to slowly realize this.
Originally, I thought that as long as the ball was thrown, others would definitely miss it.
Later, it was found that it was not working, so naturally we needed to find other methods.
"Didn't you already learn to change the ball?"
Sawamura said.
Jiang Guxiao shook his head: "Not enough!"
Sawamura really laughed this time, I didn't expect Akatsuki to grow up so fast.
In this way, he can't be careless First of all, he has to figure out a concept, what is pitching? "
Jiang Guxiao did not understand.
Sawamura looked at his ignorant friend and said with a smile: "Literally analyzed, a pitch is nothing but a ball thrown from the pitcher's hand. But there are also differences. Good balls, bad balls, are hit, and are guarded. Live. These are different."
"From a pitcher's point of view, the so-called good pitch means nothing more than two meanings, one is a good ball that the opponent can't hit, and the other is a pitch that can be defended against the opponent."
"You ask me how to throw the ball so my opponent can't hit it. I really can't answer you! In reality, it's very difficult to do that. If you really want to go to the next level, that's not the first thing you think about. And It is to think about what you can do yourself? How to use the weapon in your hand to defeat your opponent. A warrior has a spear in his hand, a swordsman has a sword in his hand, and a ninja has a dagger in his hand. Their purposes are definitely different, but the goal It's the same, that is to solve the opponent. Think about how to rely on the weapon in your hand to solve the opponent, figure this out, and your pitching should be able to go to the next level."
Sawamura said it very bluntly. As for how much Kougu Xiao can comprehend, it is not within Sawamura's control.
"Is it really okay to tell him this all of a sudden before the game?"
Miyuki asked.
Sawamura shrugged indifferently: "Isn't that what you brought him to find me for?"
"You saw it!"
Yu Xing said indifferently: "But you are really generous, maybe the other party will surpass you."
Sawamura looked fearless.
"I realized this ten years earlier than him!"
The implication is that Xiaogu Xiao is still far behind!
"cut!"
Miyuki squeaked in disdain.
Ten years, ten years ago, Sawamura was a five-year-old kid, what could he know?
