Why does this person have to come all the way here to play a game that must be lost?
Although he has been with Kataoka for almost a year, Ochiai sometimes thinks that he still doesn't know his boss.
Kataoka is an amazing person.
Ochiai said so, definitely not to flatter his boss, he really thought so from the bottom of his heart.
Being able to work as a baseball coach is of course a very important factor, but most of them are also because they have been exposed to baseball in high school and have a heartfelt love for baseball.
There are even some who are engaged in this field of work after professional players retire, because they can't give up baseball and can't find any other better way out.
When I first started doing this, everyone's purpose was very simple. On the one hand, it is to make money, and on the other hand, it is my hobby.
But gradually, there will be an imbalance between these two aspects.
the reason is simple.
As players, when playing baseball in high school, everyone just really likes baseball and pursues their dreams.
But work with this. That's another story.
When chasing your dreams, it's like being your own boss. As long as you have the ability, you are not willing to limit yourself too much.
Basically, you can do whatever you want, and no one can stop you.
But working with this is another matter.
Because coaches have tasks and responsibilities at the same time.
The school will ask for your grades and also ask...
In this way, the coach is bound to have no way to act according to his own mind.
After all, you are a part-time worker, and you can't help but work hard, and you can't work to death.
To put it bluntly, there is pressure from the immediate boss above. The coach is bound to do something he doesn't want to do, but he has to do.
There are even some coaches who have no moral bottom line at all, and directly squeeze all the potential of the players, without caring about the future of the players. As long as they can get good grades in high school, coaches can do anything.
Those people really don't know, how will this affect the players?
Don't talk nonsense, they are all experts, who still doesn't know?
But sometimes, they have no other choice.
This is also the reason why the competition system of Jiaziyuan is questioned.
The competition was originally intensive, coupled with a brutal knockout system. In order to win, the coaches are naturally willing to send more players to the field for those capable players.
If conditions permit, they can't wait to send all the strongest players on the field and let them fight until the end.
Excessive overdraft will not destroy one or two players.
How much pain is left behind that passionate dream?
No one knows better than practitioners like Ochiai.
A big team like Qingdo High School!
Too many players is also a big burden. However, some schools cannot restrict players from joining due to rules and regulations.
Even so, there are still some coaches who only focus their attention on a few more potential players, and don't pay attention to other players in the team.
In their view, they made too much sense in doing so.
Even Ochiai before, is such a person.
After all, a person's energy is limited, and he can't waste it on everyone.
In this way, when coaching players, it is bound to pay attention, especially for teams like Qingdao High School baseball club that are crowded with players.
Because one can't take care of it at all...
Of course, Ochiai did not deny it either.
These are all excuses from the coach.
The main reason why they don't want to waste too much energy on other players is because they don't want to be responsible for superfluous responsibilities that don't pay off.
At the end of the day, they see coaching as one of their jobs. Since it is a job, it must have its own scope of work. Of course, they are too lazy to pay attention to things outside their scope of work.
Director Kataoka was completely different.
To say that he treats all players equally is of course impossible.
But he never gave up on any player who was still chasing his dream.
This alone is already very valuable.
Not to mention that he is within the scope of his ability, trying not to consume the potential of the player as much as possible.
Qingdao High School's training was very hard, and many players were injured because they were overwhelmed.
But Coach Ochiai can guarantee.
None of them were forced by Kataoka. The players were forced by the environment, or did it on their own initiative.
And this, even Kataoka has no way to stop it.
After all, the baseball club of Qingdo High School is a place that respects strength.
If the strength of the players is not up to standard, even Kataoka cannot promise the players the future.
Since there is no way to promise people the future, naturally there is no way to stop them from taking the initiative to practice.
This kind of behavior has never been seen by Coach Ochiai before.
Don't look at how Kataoka looks very cold on weekdays, but his heart is very soft.
He is like a simple player.
At the same time, he also worked hard to condense the baseball club of Qingdao High School into such a place.
As for the pressure from the outside, he carried it for these players.
"I didn't expect that there are such stupid people in the world!"
After a period of time together, when evaluating Kataoka, Coach Ochiai once made such a judgment.
Judging from the thinking of an adult, Kataoka has undoubtedly paid too much, and he does not need to take responsibility.
But deep down, what he did to Kataoka.
But with an appreciation.
This is also the reason why he was able to say that everyone together became a legend.
Originally, Ochiai thought that he already knew something about Kataoka.
But now, seeing him arrange like this, Coach Ochiai is a little confused again.
Is this arrangement too hasty, even for the purpose of training and testing the team?
A man needs a face, and a tree needs its bark.
It cannot be said that in order to train and test the players, the outcome of the competition is completely ignored.
The Qingdao High School baseball team has to play eight games in North America.
At this pace, they have to lose several games.
Especially the opponent in front of him.
The training system in North America is different from the training system in island countries.
The Texas team in front of me is not from the same school, but is similar to the youth baseball team in Tokyo.
They are the elite of various high schools.
Some were promoted because of outstanding performance, while others chose to come to this team because of family conditions.
Texas is a team that really represents the state of Texas.
It's completely different from a normal high school team.
Before the match between the Tokyo team and Los Angeles, Coach Ochiai also watched the video of the match afterwards.
After watching the video of the game, he let out a long breath.
Just looking at the score, the Tokyo team seems to have a huge advantage.
The opponent is not an opponent at all.
But people who have actually watched the game, I am afraid no one will think so.
North American teams are strong.
The main reason why the first exchange game showed a one-sided situation was the arrangement of Guoyou's supervision.
He really made it out.
Let the three best pitchers on the team go toe-to-toe with the guys on the NA Los Angeles team.
Each and every one of them is a top-level genius with outstanding talent.
If they only cast one round, even the excellent hitters in professional baseball would not be able to beat them.
Not to mention the representatives of LA in North America?
The result is from start to finish, from start to finish.
Until the end, North America didn't have any effective hits.
He was pressed to the ground by the Tokyo team and rubbed fiercely.
If that communication game, leave it to Coach Ochiai to analyze.
Why did the Tokyo team win so easily?
In fact, the reason is very simple, there are only three.
The first is that North America has underestimated the enemy.
There was no main in and out in the beginning, and the pitcher who got in first wasn't one of their strongest players.
The second is the three pitchers in Tokyo, that is, Yang Shunchen, Chenggong Ming, and Sawamura's wheel battle, showing very good talent.
The last point is because of Sawamura Eijun.
There is a saying that is particularly good, saying that no matter where gold is placed, it can light up.
This sentence fits Sawamura Eijun perfectly.
He belongs to such a player, no matter where he stays, when others see him, there is no way to ignore him.
Because the light on him is so dazzling. ..
It is precisely because Eijun Sawamura's strength is far beyond the players of the same level that he can completely defeat the North American Los Angeles team with a single point.
But if the game started, the two teams would be head-to-head.
They have a certain understanding of each other's strengths.
Perhaps the final winner will still be the Tokyo team, but the process will never be so smooth.
As one of the strongest teams in North America, the Los Angeles team has that kind of strength.
Not to mention Texas, one of the quarterfinals.
In the brutal knockout system, the gap between rounds is often huge.
Especially a perennial strong team like Los Angeles in North America, and a perennial top eight team like Texas, and occasionally a team that can make it to the top four.
The gap between them is not even a star.
The Qingdao High School baseball team challenged such a strong player as soon as they came up, and they haven't used their full strength...
Why?
Coach Ochiai couldn't figure it out anyway.
Although there are a lot of games arranged on the North American side, the really important ones are actually two. One was with Texas today and the second was with the New York Dream Team in the last game.
The rest are learning from high school teams on the North American side. Although those are also some very powerful teams, they are completely different from the representatives of these two regions.
According to the previous habits of the Qingdo High School baseball club, the players who play in such important games are naturally the most valued players.
To put it bluntly, it is the main force.
Whoever has the opportunity to play on such an occasion is likely to stay in the first army, or even win the back number of the main force.
This is the normal routine.
But today's Kataoka is not playing cards according to common sense.
Sawamura, Miyuki, and Minato.
These three absolute main players did not play! (The absolute main force here refers to those who cannot be replaced by others.)
It was Wang Xi and Yujing Xun, who were first-year partners.
Also a world-class partner in the freshman.
One of them is a World Series champion pitcher, and the other is a runner-up catcher.
Their combination has always been favored.
Even many people believe that the two of them will be the main arrests of Qingdao High School in the future.
Playing against world-class opponents, or putting them on the court, these two experienced guys, should have some effect.
After all, there are very few opportunities for other Qingdo high school baseball club players to communicate with players from other countries in the world.
Well, so to speak, it's a bit like putting gold on the face of the Qing Dao players.
They are completely inexperienced!
Unlike Wang Xi, the two of them are experienced.
In this way, the little friends naturally have great expectations for the two of them.
But I didn't expect the performance of the two after they played.
Really disappointing.
The first was the blow, Wang Xi, who had just played.
And Yui Kaori who played in the second game.
When I was tested in the baseball club of Qingdao High School, it was a complete mess.
But now playing against North American players, it is not an opponent at all.
The ending for both of them was the same, and they were struck out by the opponent directly.
Only two years apart in age, they have also dealt with representatives from North America before.
Why is there such a big gap in strength just by two years?
Both had expressions of disbelief.
Not only were they frustrated in hitting, but when they were pitching, the two were also hit very hard.
It was pretty good at the beginning, the two of them cooperated.
Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, but with the help of the garrison they managed to get two outs.
Wang Xi's bullets are effective even against these senior North American seniors.
But without waiting for the two to breathe a sigh of relief, when it was the turn of the third batter, it suddenly changed.
The third player on the Texas side is a well-proportioned black player.
It seems a bit cynical, and it is difficult to make opponents beware.
But it was such a guy who directly swung his bat in the face of the bullet ball thrown by Wang Xi.
"Ping!"
After the white ball was hit, it rolled out.
The defense of the baseball club of Qingdo High School, although not the first in the island country.
But in the island country, it is definitely among the best, very outstanding.
Hiritate, who was the third baseman, picked up the ball quickly after a while, and passed it to the first base.
But the moment he turned his head, Hiri's bald head was not so bright.
He seemed to be stupid there.
Hiri's defense is definitely not slow, but some people move faster.
The black figure was like a black lightning bolt, instantly rushing to the first base
So fast!
Hiritate didn't have time to be surprised, and passed the ball directly to Mae Park at first base.
"Snapped!"
The baseball fell into the glove, and Maeyuan turned to look at the black figure again.
The other party was smiling at him kindly.
No panic, no rush as expected.
Everything seemed to be in order.
It was so easy for the opponent to hit first base.
Wang Xi and Yui Kaoru, the world-class shooting partner.
Before even getting through the first game, he suffered a head-on attack.
