The next day, Saturday.
The players of the Qingdo High School baseball team were finally freed from hell.
The so-called special training in **** is said to be a week, but in fact, the first five days are more difficult.
The last two days were relatively easy.
People don't have to do those crumbling physical training anymore, they just need to play a few games.
This is not to say that playing the game is easy, and playing the game also consumes the physical strength of the players.
But compared with the boring physical exercise, this consumption is completely negligible.
So although everyone is very tired, the friends are still looking forward to the upcoming practice game.
The Kataoka supervision and coaching staff, uncharacteristically, did not announce the starting list in advance.
Said to wait until the game starts, and then inform everyone.
In addition, the opponent's intelligence, also did not make any preparations.
So in the next few games, everyone doesn't know who will play? Don't know who your opponent is? It is even more impossible to know the opponent's tactics and characteristics.
"Three completely unknown challenges!"
This made Sawamura Eijun very emotional.
Director Kataoka also trusts these disciples too much?
At nine in the morning, a bus slowly pulled into Qingdao High School.
Sitting on this bus is the opponent of the Qingdao High School baseball team today.
To be precise, it was their opponent in their first game today.
From Chiba Prefecture, Kashiwagi High School.
Kashiwagi is not a traditional strong school, but the limelight has been very strong recently.
In the previous spring competition, he won the top four in Chiba Prefecture.
A very strong team...
Of course, with their positions, they can't be compared with the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Qingdao High School is known as the king by itself because it won Koshien in last summer and Koshien in spring in a row.
In this era, the island country is the most powerful and the most popular team.
The previous game they played against the North American Dream Team made Qingdao High School's baseball team's reputation rise to a new level.
Now many people can't even recite the names of the island nation's 12 professional teams.
But people who don't know about the Qingdo High School baseball team are almost non-existent.
Playing against such a team, these players from Kashiwagi High School never thought they could win.
Just kidding, the other party is King Qingdao.
If they can win, then the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill themselves.
For Kashiwagi's players, their match with Qingdo High School was more like a star-chasing trip.
For example, it's almost a semi-professional team, just like an NBA team.
The element of star chasing is far greater than the desire for competition.
"This is Qing Dao!"
As soon as they entered the school, the players of Kashiwagi High School were stunned.
As rising stars, they are not traditional giants. The baseball facilities in their school can be imagined.
In fact, the Kashiwagi High School baseball club is all but one field. There are hardly any facilities that can be called professional.
Just one ball machine was occupied by a limited number of people...
As soon as they entered Qingdao, they were dazzled.
A row of serving machines, professional courts, densely packed training crowds, various professional training facilities...
It felt like entering another world.
And look at the players who train, their movements are professional, clean and neat.
Even if there is no real competition, Kashiwagi High School can't help but start to get discouraged.
If they play against such a team, the end is expected to be miserable, right?
"Are these people the first-team players of Qingdao High School?"
A player from Kashiwagi High School murmured as he watched the hot group of people training on the field.
Kashiwagi's coach, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, gave a wry smile.
"I'm afraid not!"
A player in the main team of Qingdo High School, although not as dreamy as the North American Dream Team. All the main players are all star players.
But there are definitely not a few star players in the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Among them, there are even several players who are already at the top level among their peers.
Great Demon King Sawamura!
Savior Miyuki!
Cheetah Warehouse!
The first person in the ball speed, the monster Xiaogu Xiao!
Even if these are placed in the country, they are well-known.
None of them were seen.
This also means that the main force of Qingdao High School's baseball club has not appeared at all.
as predicted.
After a while, Director Kataoka brought Coach Ochiai, Minister Ota, and all the players of the First Army to greet him.
"Thank you so much for coming all the way here!"
As the leader of a wealthy family, Director Kataoka did not show the slightest arrogance.
The attitude is surprisingly easygoing.
His attitude greatly satisfied the vanity of Supervisor Kashiwagi and his disciples.
So also followed the hurried hospitality.
"We are! It has always been the wish of these little guys to be able to play a game with the king. If you hadn't given the opportunity, they probably wouldn't have been able to see the king's style throughout their high school careers."
I have to say, speaking is really an art.
Gold-rimmed glasses, these words kept their posture very low. At the same time, he also gave himself a fiasco, leaving plenty of retreat.
They just came to see Wangzhe Qingdao High School, and losing is a natural result.
If in the process, the players have a little flash of performance. That Kashiwagi High School is not for nothing...
As for winning.
To be honest, not only Kashiwagi's players have never thought about this possibility, and Kashiwagi's coach has also never considered it.
Long before the Qingdo High School baseball team played against North America, Kashiwagi's supervisor and players never thought they could win.
As for the Qingdao High School baseball team and the North Dream Team after the game.
Then who would dare to stand up and say that he could beat the Qingdao High School baseball team?
It will definitely be sprayed to death by the saliva of Internet trolls.
Just kidding, Qingdao High School baseball team that can be tied with the legendary team of the North American Dream Team.
How can any cat or dog be able to challenge it?
Not to mention them, even some top giants, at this time, only dare to encourage them secretly in their hearts, and dare not bring up such ideas at all.
After bringing it up, if it really can beat the Qingdo High School baseball team, that's all.
If you can't beat the Qingdao Gaochong baseball team in the end, it's not a self-inflicted humiliation.
These guys are all cunning and cunning, how could they do such a stupid thing?
Today's Qing Dao is in full swing.
Originally, the Qingdo High School baseball team could continue to win the championship.
In fact, there are still many people who do not like it.
After all, the Qingdo High School baseball team that dominated the summer Koshien and spring Koshien consecutively. Now it has become a thorn in the side of all other teams, a thorn in the flesh.
Even a seven- or eight-year-old child can guess it.
In the next period of time, the Qingdao High School baseball team will probably have a very difficult time.
Everyone will try their best to stop the Qingdo High School baseball team from moving forward.
Teams that are qualified to move forward will also treat the Qingdo High School baseball team as the first imaginary enemy.
This has never happened in history.
There are many teams that can win the Jiaziyuan championship. Throughout history, a bunch of names can be found at random.
But you search, who can dominate continuously?
Even if it exists, it is rare and very rare.
As for the three consecutive domination.
This has never happened in history.
Although there is a lot of uproar on the Internet now, it is said that the Qingdao High School baseball team will definitely be the first to eat crabs.
But many professional baseball people analyze and analyze.
But I don't think the Qingdao High School baseball team has a high chance of winning.
After all, the previous Qingdao High School baseball team felt very strong, but it was not strong enough to be able to air in seconds.
Across the country, there are still many teams that can be compared with them.
And if the Qingdao High School baseball team wants to continue to dominate, they have to eliminate these opponents hiding in the dark one by one.
The strength of the family itself is not weak, plus Qingdao High School is in the bright, and the family is in the dark.
Even if the overall strength of the Qingdao High School baseball team is higher than those of other teams.
Their odds are not very high.
But after the Qingdao High School baseball team played against the North American Dream Team, that very sensible view almost disappeared.
Even if this view is very objective, there is nothing wrong with it.
But it didn't come together.
But to no avail!
Today's fans are no longer rational. Those experts can wake up a sleeping person, but they can't wake up a sleepy person anyway.
The supporters and fans of the Qingdao High School baseball team, including the vast majority of people who eat melons.
They only believe one thing.
The Qingdo High School baseball team that can tie the North American Dream Team.
Is the undisputed king.
No matter who the opponent is, the final winner must be the Qingdo High School baseball team.
As for what restrictions, what am I in the open and the enemy in the dark?
These are sideways.
In the face of the unparalleled strength of the Qingdao High School baseball team, it will inevitably collapse.
Not only fans, but also many professional baseball players, also think so.
In theory, if the strength of the Qingdao High School baseball team is indeed strong to a certain extent.
Then it is not impossible to win the championship all the way.
The supervisors and players of Kashiwagi High School are die-hard supporters of this statement.
They firmly believe that the Qingdao High School baseball team is invincible.
That's why I was very excited to play against Qingdao High School.
This is their chance to get up close and personal with their idols.
"I don't know if Sawamura will play?"
When they arrived at the rest area, a player from Kashiwagi High School was still looking eagerly at the bullpen opposite.
In that bullpen, there is his idol, Eijun Sawamura.
Sawamura was smiling and talking to the friends around him, and he looked very relaxed.
"Stop dreaming, how can the Qingdao High School baseball team be able to make the most of our opponents?"
Another player shook his head and said.
This player is the truth.
The top four in Chiba Prefecture, if placed in Chiba Prefecture, it really counts as a role.
Even if the other party is a rising star, their strength is definitely resounding.
But in front of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the opponent is really nothing...
Chiba itself is not even a fierce battle zone, how can their players be stronger?
To play against such an opponent, would the Qingdao High School baseball team directly dispatch all of its main force?
Still no kidding.
Supervisor Kataoka and the coaching staff have no such plans.
The main reason for choosing such a mid-level opponent is to test newcomers.
So at the beginning, Director Kataoka pushed all seven newcomers out.
They are.
Pitcher, Wang Xi.
Catcher, Okumura.
First baseman, Yuki.
Shortstop, Chen Ping.
Third baseman, Hirota.
Outfielder, Yui Kaoru.
Outfielder, Matsumoto.
In order to gather enough nine people, I also brought two old players along by the way.
Minato and Tojo, respectively.
These two veteran players are very special in the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Their skills are superb, but their leadership is mediocre.
Tojo is a little better, and Kominato is almost zero in terms of leadership.
From this arrangement, it is not difficult to see the meaning of Supervisor Kataoka and the coaching staff of the baseball club of Qingdo High School.
This test is for new students.
Otherwise, if you change to Sawamura, Kuramochi, Miyuki, and Jinmaru.
This type of player, even if most of the players on the scene are rookies, it's hard to say that all the performances they have achieved are at the level of rookies.
"Would it be too risky?"
Minister Ota rubbed his little hands nervously, and said Nuo Nuo, looking at Kataoka in front of him.
Send so many new people directly.
Considering that they have just finished the special training in hell, considering the strength of the other party.
The situation is really not reassuring.
If you are defeated by your opponent at the beginning.
Even if it is a new team with the first year as the core and the main force.
But after all, it also represented Qingdao High School.
"Only in adversity can you know the true strength of these guys."
Supervisor Kataoka's attitude is very firm. He believes that only in this way can we fully detect the true strength of the players of the Qingdo High School baseball team.
Among these freshmen, who is qualified to stay in the ranks of the First Army.
Supervisor Kataoka has thought about this matter for a long time.
Seek truth from facts This is indeed a very difficult thing to do.
After all, the first-year players who can stay on the first team, they represent more than themselves.
They also represent the entire Qingdao High School baseball team.
Representing those third-year players who gave them their chance.
How to make the eliminated third-year players willingly leave their positions to these first-year players.
There is only one way.
That is to show results in the competition, so that the third-year players who are on the sidelines recognize their strength from the bottom of their hearts.
Only in this way can they really qualify to stay in the First Army.
He is really qualified to wear the clothes of Qingdao High School and participate in the competition on behalf of Qingdao High School.
