In the eighth game, Yui Xun was replaced by Okumura.
Before today's game, the three freshmen's catchers had very different positions in front of Supervisor Kataoka and the coaching staff of Qingdo High School.
People have a steel scale in their hearts, just like these three catchers, everyone will also have a weight in their hearts.
The highest-ranking catcher in the past was, of course, Yui Kaoru, there was no doubt about that.
Whether it is the achievements of individuals in high school, or the performance of players after entering the team.
Yui Kaoru is a well-deserved first place.
Although the performances of Okumura and Matsumoto can't be said to be outstanding, compared with Yui Kaoru, the gap between them can still be clearly seen.
Next is Okumura, and then Matsumoto.
Of course, this is just everyone's first impression. Whether it's Director Kataoka or the coaches on the coaching staff.
They are not shallow enough to rely on this to judge a player's true ability.
It's just because the resources for training are limited, only key and secondary points can be taken.
After that, it will go through a round of testing every time period.
Qing Dao's test is extremely simple and rude.
It is to see the performance of the players in the practice game, as well as the performance in the red and white battle.
The coaching staff will give you a score based on your performance, the players with the highest scores, needless to say.
There will naturally be opportunities for promotion.
Okumura today is like that.
In the test of other players, the strength shown by each player is not very different from the positioning given to him by the coaching staff of Qingdao High School.
The coaches of Qingdao High School's coaching staff are still very vicious. They barely missed the mark.
If you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't, you can't.
Of course, exceptions also exist.
Take Okumura, for example.
In the previous test, he was not far behind Yui Kaoru.
But in today's game, what he showed was even more dazzling than Yui Kaoru.
So much so that Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai were attracted.
Originally they should have let Yui Xun continue to the end in today's game, but now they have changed their minds.
In the last two games, Okumura and Wang Xi came to partner.
Wang Xi didn't care about this result.
Although in terms of personal feelings, he prefers to partner with Yui Kaoru. It's not that he has any opinion on Okumura, it's just that he and Yui Kaori are more familiar with each other.
Together, they naturally become more tacit.
In contrast, if you partner with Okumura, there is no such benefit.
"Please take care of me!"
Okumura boy stubbornly raised his head.
He's a man who doesn't admit defeat, and he's the kind that doesn't admit defeat.
Since Jing Xun can form a partner with Wang Xi, he must also be able to.
"Please take care of me!"
Wang Xi also responded with a smile.
At least on the surface, the cooperation between the two is still very tacit.
What is the real effect? We'll find out in the game.
In the first half of the eighth inning, the freshmen took the lead.
With Okumura on the field, the lineup of the freshmen has been adjusted to a certain extent. Although Okumura's strike strength is not weak, compared with the previous ones, there is still a gap.
So he came off the bench to fifth.
The other batters followed suit.
The first hitter has not changed, it is still Takuma.
Although the young man had previous experience on base, he was ruthlessly blocked by Sawamura Eijun. So until now, freshmen have not effectively hit base.
There was no effective hit, which meant they had to start all over again.
"Be sure to get out!"
Takuma's character looks very easy-going on weekdays, but his real character is not like that.
He is a very strong person in his bones, otherwise he would not have become inseparable friends with Okumura.
One's parents and family, these relatives cannot choose.
Whether you like them or not, always be with them.
But friends are definitely chosen by themselves.
Since it is a friend of his own choice, then this also means.
You must have something in common with each other.
Okumura and Takuma seem to have completely different personalities, but they are the same kind of people at heart.
They're the kind of people who don't give in.
So he is determined to hit Sawamura Eijun's ball.
That is, just after he made up his mind, Sawamura's pitch flew over.
Good to come!
Seeing the flying baseball, the position is not very tricky.
Tuoma realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So he mercilessly swung the bat out of his hand and hit the ball abruptly.
"Ping!"
It wasn't until the bat touched the small white ball that Takuma came to his senses.
Just now, he was like being caught in the evil, how could he be fascinated by ghosts?
Is Sawamura Eijun-senpai not a good person? How could it be possible to hit him with such a good shot.
The only reasonable explanation is that the ball was a trap.
"Snapped!"
The white ball lands and bounces right in front of the pitcher.
Eijun Sawamura effortlessly took the ball into his glove and passed it to first base.
"Out!"
Without any doubt, Takuma came out so cleanly.
Immediately following Wang Xi's attack, after Yujing Xun came off, he made up for the second bat, feeling that he was under tremendous pressure.
Sawamura-senpai, who originally used strikeouts as the rhythm, changed his own pitching rhythm in this inning.
Originally dominated by strikeouts.
Now it's mainly about fishing.
These two styles also mean that Sawamura probably won't let him throw the ball as he imagined.
First of all, we must first determine the rhythm of the other party.
What rhythm does Sawamura-senpai want to pitch at?
With such a rhythm, what kind of ball is most likely to come over?
It's like doing a math problem, you have to get the information you need and how to solve the problem. He was able to deduce the ball that Sawamura Eijun was about to throw.
This question is too difficult.
Ask a middle school student who has just learned 1st degree equations in 2 variables to solve calculus.
It was really hard for him.
Although Wang Xi's talent is good, he is not the kind of top catcher. His mind was not good enough to fully speculate on Sawamura Eijun's thoughts.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to know, what rhythm will Sawamura Eijun throw the ball next? It is even more impossible to know what kind of ball Sawamura Eijun will throw next.
"Whoosh!"
Wait until the white ball flew over like a laser light.
Wang Xi just gritted his teeth to confirm.
Speeding straight ball!
But by the time he confirmed it was too late, he had already missed the best opportunity to strike.
If he misses the opportunity to strike, when he swings, the swing will naturally be late.
Although the ball was barely hit, it was absolutely impossible to play well.
"Ping!"
After the small white ball was touched, it bounced high.
"First baseman!"
Sawamura Eijun on the pitcher mound hurriedly greeted his companions to guard.
"Snapped!"
"Out!!"
Although Eijun Sawamura won the ball, there was no smile on his face.
After all, the hunting ground is not Miyuki Kazuya. If Sawamura Eijun is partnered with him, the **** that can be thrown are greatly limited.
Even the speeding straight ball, he did not dare to shoot with all his strength.
You know, the speeding straight ball is one of Sawamura Eijun's killers.
Sawamura Eijun is actually confident if he can do his best.
It can make Wang Xi swing the stick and fail.
But he couldn't go all out, and naturally he couldn't guarantee that Wang Xi would not touch the ball.
Good thing...
Finally got rid of him.
Sawamura Eijun himself felt ashamed to be entangled with a little brat to such an extent.
So much so that he couldn't help showing part of his true strength when he faced off against Jicheng General.
Directly will be formed into general division three strikes out.
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!!"
"nice shot!!!"
"strike out!!!"
Three outs, offense and defense exchange.
The game came to the bottom half of the eighth inning.
Eijun Sawamura hit the gourd again and hit a home run.
It completely suppressed Wang Xi's arrogance.
Wang Xi on the pitcher mound felt like he was about to cry.
This feeling came up twice.
The first time was against the Thunder City of Yakushi High School before, and the other time was against Sawamura at this time.
This feels so **** up!
Totally not an opponent.
If it is an ordinary player, it is not surprising to have such a feeling.
After all, there are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.
There are always some people in this world that you cannot compare.
But Wang Xi is different.
He's a World Series champion pitcher.
Before coming to Qingdao High School, he always believed that he was one of the most powerful people in the same age group in the world.
He is not arrogant enough to think that Laozi is number one in the world.
But he also believes that his strength is definitely at the top level.
It was only after entering high school that I realized that it was not the case at all.
Among the players one or two years older than him, there are many who are more powerful than her.
In a small Tokyo, he encountered two completely invincible opponents.
Thunder City, Zemura! ! !
What about the entire island nation?
In the whole world?
How many such players are there?
The boy realizes the vastness of the world for the first time.
Fortunately, his strong psychological quality supported him to complete the defense.
No more points lost.
Since the star rookie guys came on the court, it's been a total of 3-0 on the court.
Under the leadership of Sawamura Eijun, Laosheng has certain advantages.
But this advantage is not so obvious.
If I meet a slightly more rational pitcher, I completely give up the duel with Sawamura Eijun.
The current scene is also likely to be 0:0.
Baseball is not a one-person sport after all, and Sawamura Eijun alone is limited in what he can do.
Everyone thought that this game should be over for today.
They even figured out the ending.
In this case, something unexpected happened.
This has even changed to a certain extent, the current main structure of Qingdao High School.
The cause of this incident also begins with Hirota, the precious apprentice of Eijun Sawamura.
