Be able to stay in the First Army and be trained together. This in itself is a dream for all newcomers.
Not to mention, the roster has not yet been determined, and those who can continue to stay in the first army also mean that they still have the opportunity to participate in the summer competition.
Must stay!
This belief supports and inspires them.
Even when practicing with the old students, I never dared to slack off in the slightest.
Even if there is no way to perform better than the old students, they will never allow themselves to be left behind.
The reality is cruel.
They know very well that once they fall behind here, it means that they are likely to be eliminated.
This is also the point they are least willing to accept.
That's how these guys survived the morning training.
In the afternoon, according to the previous practice of the Qingdao High School baseball team, their training started at 4:00 or 4:30.
This fluctuation mainly depends on the teacher in the class.
Although the afternoon classes are not too important, there are always some classes that cannot be avoided.
The most important task for students is to study after all.
Even a player like Eijun Sawamura who has made up his mind to join professional baseball directly after graduating from high school.
His most important task now is still learning...
And this time, the school made a huge adjustment for the team.
All the important courses were moved to the morning. Even if there is really no way to adjust it, try to complete it before 3:20.
After 3:20, it is time for the baseball team to practice.
When I saw this time, the calves of several newcomers were spinning.
Although it has not yet entered the midsummer, it is still dark at seven o'clock.
From 3:20 to 7:00.
Three and a half hours, ten minutes more! !
This amount of training is something they have never experienced before.
This also gave them a good experience, what is hell?
Fielding practice, base running practice!
All ab2 courts were empty, and more than 20 people from the first army were divided into two teams, standing on the two courts respectively.
The players of the Second Army and the Third Army have completely become auxiliary personnel at this time.
They have no complaints about it.
After all, the first army of the Qingdao High School baseball team is the foundation, so let them waste a week to help the first army improve its strength.
This is also a contribution from another aspect.
Now they are all turned into assistant coaches.
The requirements for players are very strict.
Players who stay in the first army, if there is a mistake in the training process, or the physical strength is insufficient.
They will also turn on the taunt mode mercilessly.
"Is it alright? Otherwise, shall I change it with you?"
"Don't be so embarrassed, Qing Dao didn't bow his head."
"If you can't do it, let me do it instead!!!"
...
These words are like whips, and they are heavily slapped on all the players in the first army.
Their physical strength is very problematic. How can they not make mistakes in such a fast-paced training?
It doesn't matter if it's a strike practice or a defense practice.
Mistakes have become commonplace.
Okumura, Yuki, Wang Xi, Yujing smoked.
These four are all talented young players who became famous.
Where did they suffer from such anger in the past?
But this time, they took all the anger they had never experienced before.
The arrogance in my heart was beaten to the core.
Sometimes they doubt themselves.
Is he really qualified to stay in the first army?
Instead, it was Chen Ping, Matsumoto, and Hirota.
They have not received any honors before, nor have they received any praise or recognition.
Their knowledge of baseball comes from the baptism of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Therefore, the resistance to the disguised encouragement of the seniors is obviously much stronger than that of others.
Even if someone turned on the taunt mode, they would just listen honestly, and then continue to work hard.
These three guys know very well in their hearts that they are still very good.
The reason why he was promoted by the supervisor Kataoka and participated in the practice with the army.
A lot of it is because of the potential they have and the fact that they are first-year players.
When it comes to strength, they are probably not qualified to stay here.
With this kind of awareness, naturally, you will not have too many demands on your own strength.
They just need to step by step and receive training honestly.
If you can keep up with the rhythm, everything will be fine.
Matsumoto, Hirota, these two guys thought so.
So I can enjoy the training wholeheartedly...
Chen Ping's thoughts were a little more complicated.
After all, he was a freshman and was the first to be promoted to the First Army.
Hirota and Matsumoto, although they followed the training of the First Army together, but to be honest, the hope that they can finally stay in the First Army is quite slim.
But Chen Ping is different.
You must know that Chen Ping was the weakest link in the Qingdao High School baseball team's first-team lineup.
Although there has been no change in status, Chen Ping's strength is now completely incomparable to when he first joined the team.
As long as Chen Ping played before, it was a burden to the team. Except for certain times, at other times, everything will be fine if he doesn't get into trouble, and it is impossible to make any contribution to the team at all.
But now Chen Ping, although there are still many immature places, he can already be used as a combat force.
Maybe compared to other people, he is still a little immature, but as long as it is matched with his unique characteristics.
Chen Ping is absolutely qualified to compete for the position.
Originally, when he had no strength, just because of his invincible characteristics in the world, Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai had to promote him.
Now that Chen Ping is growing so fast, there is no reason for the supervisor and coach to abandon him at this time.
Of all the freshmen, Chen Ping was not the one who had the most hope of staying in the First Army. But also definitely one of the most promising.
Even he himself thinks that Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai really have no reason to eliminate him now.
Otherwise, wouldn't the previous cultivation be equivalent to blindness?
Be able to stay in the first army and be able to represent the team in the summer competition. Even if it's just watching in the rest area, this is something Chen Ping dreams of.
He is very satisfied to have such an opportunity.
In order to be worthy of the trust and cultivation of supervisors and coaches, and to be worthy of the guidance of Master Kuramochi and Senior Sawamura...
Chen Ping felt that he still had to work harder.
He didn't want to be said that he was promoted to the first army because of the unparalleled speed in the world.
Although this is a fact, he himself is not willing to accept and admit it.
Therefore, all his skills have to be honed.
At that time, even if you can't make achievements in the corresponding position, at least you can't become a burden to everyone.
Otherwise, he, this strange soldier, really waits until the day when he has the chance to play, and it may not be a blessing or a curse for Qing Dao?
1
The attitude is different, and the pressure is different.
Chen Ping, who was originally physically fit, actually collapsed at the first.
Mistakes one after another during defense practice...
Seeing this scene, Supervisor Kataoka decisively issued an order to have Chen Ping replaced.
His wise eyes seemed to see through everything.
In fact, this is not surprising, in any case, Kataoka is also a veteran of baseball for many years.
Coached the players for another 67 years.
As long as the player's mind is not too complicated, he can usually guess at all times.
Chen Ping's thinking is relatively uncomplicated.
Kataoka could see that he wanted to take on more responsibility. It's like a thirsty sponge, desperately trying to absorb knowledge.
For a beginner, such a learning attitude is undoubtedly very good.
Director Kataoka appreciates it.
However, he can't be allowed to continue to be so reckless, Chen Ping is a complete wild way.
Others have been training for many years, and they already have a foundation. Intensive training cannot destroy their foundation.
Chen Ping was different. Before joining the Qingdao High School baseball team, he did not even undergo professional training, and his training was not thorough on weekdays.
Let him continue to grit his teeth and hold on, or it will cause irreparable damage to his body.
This is not what Director Kataoka wants to see.
So Chen Ping's training plan is different from everyone else's.
Others started real training only after their physical strength reached the limit.
And Chen Ping is not able to reach the physical limit.
His real training is yet to come...
These things flashed through Director Kataoka's mind like lightning bolts.
Not only Chen Ping, but also other first-year players.
Although Director Kataoka has been letting them strengthen their physical strength since they entered high school.
Let them adapt to the high school game rhythm as soon as possible.
But Rome was not built in a day, and physical strength was not accumulated in a day.
Compared with the old students who have been honed in Qingdao High School for a year or two, the physical strength of the new students is obviously unable to keep up.
After the garrison practice, they all seemed to fall apart one by one.
After finally calling for a pause, everyone thought they could rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, everyone gathered in an emergency immediately.
"100 Base Runs!"
The sound from the loudspeaker was like the summoning of a demon.
Let all the freshmen collapse.
There were a total of seven freshmen participating. Supervisor Kataoka was relatively humane and did not let them practice with the teacher.
This is also impossible.
With their current state of falling apart, it is impossible to keep up with the teacher's training intensity.
So there was a very miraculous scene on the field.
Seven freshmen occupy one court, and the remaining senior students occupy another court.
They do base run together!
There are nearly three times as many old students as new ones.
But after waiting for all the old students to finish running, the seven freshmen did not finish 100 runs.
They are paralyzed!
After you finish running practice.
Sawamura Eijun's two younger brothers had collapsed to the ground, unable to move at all.
Are they still conscious now? are all unknowns.
Instead, it was Chen Ping, in such a fast-paced conversion practice.
Instead of running out of light, a person seems to have recovered a lot.
This surprised all the old students.
This guy's recovery speed is better than they thought.
However, Supervisor Kataoka found him directly and stared at Chen Ping coldly.
"Did you try your best for the base run just now?"
Chen Ping seems to have done something wrong and was caught.
A face of shame.
At this time, if a crack could be cracked on the court, he would probably be able to get in.
"It's like this during training. Once you form a habit, how can you give your best in the game? If it's like this in the next practice, you will report to the three armed forces."
Superintendent Kataoka looks stern and scary.
But those who knew him knew it.
This is already the result of the mercy of Director Kataoka.
If you put it before, or put it on someone else.
If the supervisor Kataoka is not good, the person will be expelled from the army directly.
Why didn't he do it directly?
On the one hand, there is no requirement to die during practice, and on the other hand, it is also for the consideration of the team.
Even Chen Ping, who has retained his strength, has an average on-base speed of 100 times.
Also far more than those new students.
Even compared to the players on Laosheng's side, he was only second to Kuramochi.
When Coach Ochiai and Supervisor Kataoka saw this report, they were a little dumbfounded.
How terrible is this guy's explosiveness? To do this to such an extent?
Keep him, keep him no matter what.
This is just a baby!
In the summer games, the Qingdo High School baseball team, which has dominated Koshien in a row, will undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of all other teams.
Even if the Qingdao High School baseball team is stronger, they face so many open and hidden arrows.
It may not be possible to pass completely smoothly.
In this process, there are bound to be some difficulties.
In the face of these difficulties, each player of the Qingdao High School baseball team has one more hole card.
Their hopes of consecutive **** are one point greater.
Sawamura Eijun's new change ball, Kuramochi's blow, Miyuki's new tactics, including Chen Ping's stealing base...
These are the cards of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
On the surface, it seems like a lot.
But with all the calculations, one slap can count.
Do other teams have no cards?
Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai don't think so.
So the more chassis they have, the better.
It's just that the means that can really be called trump cards are really too few.
It is precisely because of this reason that Chen Ping was lucky enough to escape.
After base-running training, the managers brought their own exquisite rice balls.
This is the dinner for the players of the Qingdo High School baseball team.
"Not even time to eat!"
Yui Xun was slumped on the ground tiredly, the delicate rice ball in his hand looked beautiful and delicious.
He couldn't help but gobble up.
The consumption is too great. If he doesn't replenish it, he is afraid that he will not be able to last.
Even so, Yui Kaoru thought that at night, he needed extra meals.
It's time for him to grow up now, and it's not enough if his nutrition can't keep up.
His height is his fault.
Okumura Koshou has been working overtime in the cafeteria on weekdays, and three bowls of rice is a big challenge for him.
But now, he thinks he has the confidence to eat it.
so hungry!
Yuuki, Wang Xi, these two people are in a similar situation.
Unlike the three exhausted freshmen, the four of them have a much better foundation than the others.
Although the training of the First Army was very hard, they still managed to keep up.
Up to now, it feels like if you give them a cow, they can swallow it.
A man's physical fitness is often linked to his appetite.
The more able you are, the more you can eat.
The old students watched with cold eyes one by one, they chewed slowly. Even if the belly is empty, I don't dare to eat more.
"These idiots!"
Miyuki watched coldly and muttered.
"As seniors, can't we just look at it like this?"
Qianyuan still has some conscience, but none of the surrounding partners rushed forward, and he felt that he couldn't stand alone.
Kuramochi: "Hip-hop, didn't we come here like this? Now that the feng shui turns, it's their turn..."
This sentence speaks to the hearts of all players.
Yes, now that the feng shui turns, it is the turn of these little guys to taste that feeling.
"Will you vomit?"
Baizhou cast his eyes aside.
"That's what they asked for."
Kuramochi had a smile on his face.
Before, he was pitted by the seniors, so he would eat so much.
Now these freshmen, there is no senior to take the initiative to pit them, it is completely their own volition.
They are courting death themselves, who can blame this?
If you really want to blame, you can only blame their own bad luck. When I was in class, I didn't study well.
After eating, everyone's spirit finally recovered a little.
Then start the following training.
The rest of the training is all physical, not technical at all.
At the beginning, the rhythm was relatively slow, and it was just a simple hitting practice.
On the one hand, it is to let everyone slow down and digest the food in the stomach.
On the other hand, it is also a warm-up.
After the happy strike practice, everyone immediately ushered in hell.
Run!
One holds a five-kilogram discus in his hand and runs back and forth.
120 meters in a straight line, 240 meters back and forth.
A full ten rounds.
Then the frog leaping, jumping on one leg, crawling on both hands...
There was no more light in the sky until 7 p.m.
This whole set of training is over.
I have to admire these freshmen, even though they do these movements, they are almost like tortoises crawling.
There is no training quality to speak of.
But they all persevered tenaciously, and in the process, no one was left behind.
Just incredible...
Even Sawamura, Miyuki and the others, to their new freshmen.
All had to be amazed.
"It's really amazing!"
They have to admit it, it's the truth.
Although the state of these newcomers is very bad, it is estimated that few are now conscious.
But they were tenacious and persevered.
This is stronger than Sawamura, Xiaogu Xiao, and Kominato in previous lives.
Although they also persevered, they waited until the end.
Not to mention consciousness, they can't even stand.
Although the seven newcomers were in a state of embarrassment, at least no one was lying on the ground.
"This is the end of today's training!"
Director Kataoka's voice sounded like an angel.
The boys breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially those newcomers, whose bodies are already crumbling.
"Yu Xing, finally take everyone to run ten laps."
When Director Kataoka finished the last sentence, three of the seven freshmen collapsed.
Chen Ping, Hirota, Matsumoto.
These three weak foundations, and the four strong foundations.
The difference was immediately apparent.
This is also impossible.
As Director Kataoka once said, sweat doesn't lie.
Yuki, Wang Xi, Yujing Xun, Okumura.
The most important reason why the four of them were able to persevere was because they trained thoroughly enough in their middle school years.
To put it bluntly, people have a good foundation.
In contrast, Chen Ping, who came from Ye Luzi.
Hirota and Matsumoto who have only received simple guidance from Sawamura.
The difference is obviously not a star and a half.
The task of the last ten laps is destined to be more difficult for them.
After everyone runs.
Sawamura Eijun said to Miyuki who was beside him while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Go take a shower first, or how much to eat first?"
When the team manager brought the rice balls, they simply ate a little.
Do not practice on an empty stomach.
"Let's eat first, take a bath after eating, and then have a good sleep."
Such a terrifying amount of training, even an old man can't stand it.
Their extra practice at night was naturally canceled.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Xiao Min and Jiang Gu Xiao also followed.
Obviously these two guys also plan to go with them.
"Hip-hop, how can you miss me!"
Several old students were chatting and laughing, and the four freshmen who had just returned were completely paralyzed.
Okumura, who used to look like a noble boy, was the most embarrassed at this time.
Among the four powerful freshmen, his background is the weakest.
Those three were simply monsters, and they didn't look like freshmen.
If it weren't for the veterans of the Qingdao High School baseball team, it would be hard for ordinary people to believe that those three guys were freshmen.
They barely kept up with the teacher's rhythm.
But after reaching the end, he collapsed completely and couldn't get up.
Okumura's handsome little white face fell directly to the ground.
His stomach seemed to be overturned, and after a while, he vomited out.
At this time, I heard the chatter and laughter around me.
He looked out of the corner of his eye.
Sawamura, Miyuki and the others seemed to be shining under the light.
At this time, they looked extremely tall.
Taller than anyone else.
Before Okumura was not convinced by the old students.
He also swore in his heart more than once that he would pull down the position of the main catcher of Miyuki Village.
But now, looking at the man who was talking and laughing.
For the first time, Okumura Koshou realized how naive and unrealistic his thoughts were.
The man standing in front of him was like an inviolable god.
How can he overcome it?
There are three embarrassed figures in places where the lights can't shine.
At a speed that is not much faster than a snail crawling, it is slowly advancing.
Although Director Kataoka never said that order, the Seodo High School baseball team still has such an iron law.
Players who cannot complete all training in the special training in **** are not eligible to participate in the next season's competition.
