v2 Chapter 18: : Return of Kataoka

A test for freshmen directly caused many outstanding players to emerge.

The quality of these freshmen is so excellent that even the current main force of Qingdao High School has to deal with it carefully.

If they don't do well, they may be taken away by these freshmen.

Unconsciously, some competition between the new and old students came out.

If this were placed in an ordinary school, the confrontation between the freshmen and the old students would be so fierce, they would have fought long ago. Don't look at the appearance of the island people, they look very polite and polite, if they really want to fight, it is also the six relatives who do not recognize.

It is not uncommon in this country to have a place in Jiaziyuan, but be disqualified because of a fight.

It may be difficult for the average person to understand the significance of this matter. Let's put it this way, in this country, players can participate in Koshien, just like in our mainland players can participate in the NBA.

That is the supreme glory.

Because of the fights and troubles, this glory can be thrown away. It can be seen that this country, hidden under the appearance of kindness, is ruthless in its bones.

Fortunately, the school spirit of Qingdao High School is not bad, and there is no such tradition.

The players can at least maintain a superficial peace with each other.

But the smell of gunpowder has been faintly burning.

There is not much communication between the two sides.

Most of the freshmen relied on their good strength, holding back their strength, trying to jump off their seniors from the main position.

Not to mention, those three catchers were very unfriendly when they looked at Miyuki's eyes.

Miyuki also complained to Sawamura Eijun in private.

Speaking of how good the two junior boys in Sawamura Eijun's dormitory are, they don't have any rebellious emotions. Unlike the one in their dormitory, who stared at him like a wolf cub all day.

Asada has been dizzy ever since he moved into the dormitory. Wang Xi was surprisingly polite, and kept approaching Sawamura Eijun, discussing pitching with each other.

Whether the two are rivals or not, they both truly love baseball in their hearts.

So they got together very quickly, and the relationship seemed extremely close.

Yu Xing looked envious as well. He also played the same position with the younger brother in their dormitory. He wanted to have a good communication with the younger brother, but the younger brother didn't appreciate him?

Every time I see Yuyuki, I stare at him with the eyes of a little wolf cub.

A signal was clearly transmitted in Miyuki's mind.

They are the enemy.

"Okumura's nature is not bad, but he was a little stimulated in middle school. Give him less chicken soup for the soul, and he should have a better attitude towards you."

"As if you knew him well?"

"That's it! Don't you look at who I am? I am the so-called spiritual mentor of the disciples."

"roll!"

The days went by like this, and the days passed in the blink of an eye.

Manager Kataoka, the mainstay of Qingdo High School, also finally ended his speech and charge and returned to the team.

As soon as Kataoka returned to the team, the other three giants of the Qingdo High School baseball club gathered in his office.

Don't look at it for just a few days, but there are a lot of things that have been accumulated.

"I received 14 interview applications before, and most of them were interviewed by Coach Ochiai. However, there are some names to interview you, and some names to interview players? You still need to decide."

Minister Ota's face flushed with excitement.

Qingdao High School baseball team, but there has been no such event for a long time.

It has to be said that being complimented is a very addictive thing.

This is how Ota is. When he is complimented by the reporters who interviewed him, he has nothing to say.

Soon, the dry goods in his stomach were all taken out.

After that, the focus of the media shifted to Ochiai.

Ochiai himself enjoyed it.

However, he is not as real as Ota. He is cunning and cunning and has played against reporters for several rounds, and the two sides are dead.

In the end, all the problems were accumulated on Kataoka.

"The interviews that should be accepted are still to be accepted. We have dominated the country twice, and we have achieved certain achievements. The next step should also consider the future development of the players themselves. And those who are fluttering. Choose a few influential media and hold a press conference. Temporarily determine the list of participants. Miyuki, Kuramochi, Hakushu, Qianyuan, Sawamura, and Akatsuki Kogu."

Supervisor Kataoka didn't seem to be idle during this time, thinking about a lot of things.

It is not difficult to see from the list he enumerated.

This is to create momentum for Maeen, Kuramochi, and Hakushu.

Like Sawamura, Miyuki, including Akatsuki.

Now there is no need to flatter reporters at all, the reporters themselves came forward to interview.

Once they decide to join professional baseball, they don't have to worry about leaving home.

"Just being famous is not enough. If they really want to enter the profession, they must have a good performance. Now it seems that there is some hope for Kuramochi!"

Ochiai said while rubbing the mustache on his chin.

Although Kuramochi has such and such shortcomings, he has a specialty that cannot be ignored.

That is speed!

Such players are needed by any team, and if Kuramochi wants to enter the profession, it is not difficult.

On the contrary, Hakushu and Mae Garden!

If it's the college draft, they're fine, but the pro draft seems to be a little less interesting.

There are hundreds if not thousands of players in the country with the same strength as them.

Why do people choose them?

"We still have time, don't we?"

Kataoka said decisively.

Now these guys are different from before, they are third-year players.

Their awareness and feelings will also be different.

In the process of learning baseball in high school, players have two stages of rapid improvement in strength.

The first is the first half of their year in high school.

The progress of strength will reach appalling levels, and most of them will have reborn growth.

The second is the half year from the third year of high school to the summer.

At this time, the players will clearly realize what is the last time?

The first big game of the summer, a loss in a game means that everything is over.

Kataoka believes that his disciples will perform better during this period.

"Anything else?"

Supervisor Kataoka quickly made a decision on the previous matter and started the next issue directly.

"After the end of the spring Jiaziyuan, many teams sent us invitations to the game. These teams who ignored us before are now so enthusiastic."

Takashima Rei said angrily.

I don't know what these teams are doing.

"That's right!"

Ochiai explained while rubbing the mustache on his chin.

"After all, Jiaziyuan in summer and Jiaziyuan in spring have different meanings. Influence is one aspect, and summer also represents the last time. Everyone's goals have changed. The first task is not to dominate the country, but how to Into Koshien? Most of the people who invited us were from the fierce battle zone, right? The trolls, probably not!"

Rei Takashima looked at Ochiai in shock, as if he had discovered a new continent.

Guess it wasn't bad at all.

"Our goal is the same, to keep the invitations to these practice games as much as possible. Before the start of the summer competition, I will expand the team of the first army and let everyone play in turn."

Supervisor Kataoka has obviously made a decision on this matter.

Ochiai glanced at Kataoka in surprise.

This training seems to be of great help to Kataoka. His decision was obviously decisive.

And, it's a very reliable decision.

After the reporter interviews and practice games were finished, the topic naturally shifted to the freshmen and the remaining two places.

"This year's freshmen, who is better?"

Hearing Supervisor Kataoka's question, Coach Ochiai laughed confidently.

"After you came back, you didn't recruit the two players who were eliminated before, and I knew you were playing with the idea of ​​freshmen. But according to the school's tradition, they need to run for a week first. So the specific test is also If it is not done, there is no way to judge the strength very clearly.”

"Let's start the second round of testing tomorrow!"

"So anxious?"

"Forget the third round Starting from the fourth round, I want to use it to hone freshmen. If there can be a few more Sawamura, Kaguya, and Kominato like last year. A player like Shi. We will make a lot of money!"

Supervisor Kataoka obviously made a lot of money from last year's incident.

This time, regardless of whether there is a date or not, he will first hit the three poles and then talk about it.

Ochiai smiled wryly.

Director Kataoka said it was very light, but it was not that easy.

Players like Sawamura Eijun Fukuya Akira are completely unattainable.

And Kominato Haruichi is also a rare talent with a good sense of the ball and an extraordinary garrison.

How could it be possible to let Qingdao High School come across it casually.

He just closed his eyes and recalled the new student materials he had seen before.

Ochiai couldn't help but doubt himself.

It doesn't seem to be completely impossible, after all, the strength of this year's freshmen is a bit terrifying.

Especially Wang Xi!

Although it has not been tested in detail, Ochiai's eyesight is not bad.

That player's strength is already very mature, and he can even directly impact the position of the main force of the first army.

It's just a pity that his position is pitcher.

And judging from his previous achievements, it is difficult for him to easily change his position.

Otherwise, he should be able to come in handy directly.

do not know why? When thinking of Wang Xi, another Chinese figure also appeared in Ochiai's mind.

That is Chen Ping!

Although it looks like the most typical layman, but that speed.

Once you use it well, you should be able to reap the effects of the Raiders!

If Ochiai was the coach, he might have really used Chen Ping as a secret weapon.

But the supervisor is Kataoka, and his criteria for selecting players are not the same!

...
