Qingdao High School baseball team, as the top giants in the country.
They've never been less talented, all kinds.
Not to mention the past, even now.
Qingdao High School's first-team baseball team was filled with all kinds of geniuses.
But even so, Chen Ping's performance still shocked everyone.
This is the first time they see a person, the speed of progress can be so fast!
Just three months ago, Chen Ping, who had just joined the team, was a blockbuster in the freshman test, making everyone in the Qingdao High School baseball club remember the name of this newcomer.
Unparalleled speed!
Compared with Chen Ping, Cheetah Kuramochi, who was originally fast, could only resign.
With such characteristics, it is difficult not to be remembered.
Perhaps it is because of the deep impression that everyone has a fresh memory of Chen Ping's performance when he first joined the team.
He's arguably nothing but speed.
Totally a pure baseball rookie.
At that time, although everyone thought that Chen Ping had great potential, he would definitely become a big killer of Qingdao High School in the future.
But that should be a year or two away.
Right now, especially this summer tournament.
Chen Ping is not qualified to compete with them for positions.
There's too much difference in the ranks, right?
A group of diamonds played a game, and suddenly a bronze was added.
Don't you feel awkward?
So at that time, almost no one regarded Chen Ping as an opponent. Even if Director Kataoka specially promoted Chen Ping later, everyone just thought that the coaching staff was deliberately training him.
To say that Chen Ping can become the main contender for the summer competition.
No one believed it at the time.
But now, they feel that they have been beaten in the face.
Although Chen Ping still has not evolved to the level of diamond rank, there is still no way to compete with a group of kings and diamond masters.
But his level has been promoted to platinum.
He was barely enough to qualify for the game with just one kick.
I officially learned baseball, but in just over three months, I have already achieved such an achievement.
In the country's top giants, are eligible to officially play the game!
Such a speed of progress, even a rocket can't beat it!
It's amazing, it's amazing!
For the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, Chen Ping completely broke their cognition.
Even for Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai.
They were equally astounding.
This is the first time they have seen Chen Ping's speed of progress.
It's amazing!
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were shocked beyond words.
The Kashiwagi High School that played against them had no way of understanding the thoughts of the friends in the Baseball Club of Qingdo High School at this time. They were all disgraced.
In fact, before coming to the game, they never thought that they could beat the Qingdao High School baseball team. But after coming, facing this group of first-year newcomers, they once regained their confidence.
They think that even if they can't defeat these newcomers in the end, they shouldn't lose too badly.
As a result, did not expect.
Totally slapped in the face!
Strong, really strong.
Although Eijun Sawamura, Kazuya Miyuki, Akatsuki Furuya, Yoichi Kuramochi, these monsters did not appear.
Although they are mostly first-year freshmen.
But the Wang Zhe Qing Dao High School baseball team is the Wang Zhe Qing Dao.
Even if Qingdo sent a team composed of first-year freshmen, it was not something that Kashiwagi High School could resist.
A group of lion cubs sent from the lion pride, they are still lions after all.
Since it is a lion, it is impossible to be defeated by a flock of sheep.
"To defeat this opponent, we must first become wolves!"
The supervisor of Kashiwagi High School, when he returned, spoke earnestly to his disciples.
In the face of a strong enemy like the Qingdao High School baseball team, if it is a pack of wolves, there is still a chance. But if it's a flock of lambs, no matter how strong those lambs are.
It is absolutely impossible for them to defeat Qing Dao!
The people from Kashiwagi High School left, and they walked away in dismay.
When parting, Director Kataoka didn't say much. He didn't expect this group of first-year cubs to be so capable.
In this case, no matter what he said, it was a bit like showing off.
It is better to watch the opponent leave quietly, and save some face for the opponent.
A total of two practice games were arranged for the Qingdao High School baseball team today.
I won't talk about the game with Kashiwagi High School in the morning.
The purpose is entirely to test the strength and growth of newcomers, and the effect is still good.
At this time, Superintendent Kataoka and Coach Ochiai almost already had a spectrum in their hearts.
How many newcomers do the 20 members of the first army have to choose?
Who are they?
This is a very important job for Qingdao High School, but it is not the most important job.
The most important thing is who can become the main force?
And the opponent in the next match is undoubtedly a very good touchstone.
Kanagawa Kune High School.
Although Kunou High School is also the top four in the region, it is completely different from the top four at Kashiwagi High School.
Kanagawa is a fierce battle zone, and it is a particularly powerful battle zone.
Its level of competition is second only to Tokyo.
Think about the level of teams in Tokyo's semi-finals? You can probably measure the strength of Kunou High School.
This is a top-level giant in the country, and its strength is absolutely not under the giants in Tokyo.
Of course, even if the opponent is the top giant in the country, with the current strength and confidence of Wangzhe Qingdao High School, they may not be afraid of the opponent.
In fact, long before the Qingdo High School baseball team went to North America for exchange games.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team already have a very clear understanding of their strength.
Although the current Qingdao high school baseball team cannot be said to be flawless.
But these flaws cannot fundamentally reduce the strength of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
The current Qingdao High School has an absolute chance to complete the consecutive domination.
Even on a national scale, it was a team that could pose a threat to the Qingdo High School baseball team.
Also rare!
The players can count them with their fingers.
Even if they are playing against these teams, the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team still firmly believe that they must win in the end.
Among the teams that can be counted by the Qingdao High School baseball team, Kunou is not included!
It's not that the little friends are arrogant, but that they are confident.
They believe, no matter who the opponent is?
It must be them who will win in the end.
Especially after they traveled to North America to participate in the exchange game, tying the legendary Dream Team in North America.
In that game, the boys felt very bad.
It's as if the entire team is relying on Eijun Sawamura.
They, who are ambitious in their hearts, are of course unwilling to let this situation continue.
So almost as a matter of course, they each started special training.
But even if they realize their own lack of strength, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have never underestimated themselves.
I have never underestimated Sawamura Eijun and Aojima.
In the end, no matter how powerful Sawamura Eijun is, the friends and Sawamura Eijun are not rivals.
No matter how good he is, isn't he a member of Qingdao High School's baseball club?
From this point of view, they are in the same camp from beginning to end.
Sawamura Eijun is powerful and can only help them, but will not become their hindrance.
It can even be said that there is such a big guy in the team.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have the confidence to challenge any team in the world.
In head-to-head games, they all tied the North American Dream Team.
That is a legendary team, a team that is undefeated in the international arena.
Such teams have been tied by their Qingdao. Who are they afraid of in this country?
As long as there is no accident in the middle, as long as the lottery is drawn, the luck is not too bad.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are confident to help the team win the defending championship.
A mere ninth level, what is it?
Even if the ace Sawamura Eijun does not play, the other players have the confidence to compete with each other and defeat the opponent.
Of course, that is in the general state.
This state of affairs is a different matter now.
Five consecutive days of physical training.
Do not! Can't use the word physical training, the word is too soft to show the cruelty at all.
It should be said that five consecutive days of **** training!
The players of the Qingdao High School baseball team have long been drained.
Even if they move their fingers now, they feel very difficult.
The freshmen are fine with Kashiwagi High School, but the players at Kashiwagi High School are actually not that strong.
Even the freshmen of the Qingdo High School baseball team had a big advantage when they faced off against them.
Therefore, it is not completely unimaginable that such a disparate score will be played in the end.
It can only be said that the freshmen did not perform badly.
But Kunou is different.
In the face of the nation's top giants of this level, any weakness will be severely bitten by the opponent.
It can be said that it is very difficult to defeat them. At least in the state of the players, it is very difficult to defeat the opponent.
"Sawamura, Miyuki, Maenen, Kijima, Hiri, Kuramochi, Aso, Akatsuki, and Hakushu. Get ready, you guys will fight Kunou in the afternoon."
Director Kataoka instructed.
Don't look at the normal times when Kataoka is very open-minded, and generally take care of everyone when it comes to the choice of the main force.
But this time, he was a little shaken.
There are fewer second-year players selected by the core main force, and all third-year players are playing.
In the face of the giant Kuju High School, the Qingdao High School baseball team must go all out.
Then it means, who can get on the court in this all-out game.
Whoever can win the main back number.
At the most critical moment, Director Kataoka was slightly biased towards the third-year players.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand, and it can even be said that it is human nature.
This is the last summer for the third-year players, if they end up with the main number on their backs.
The meaning is very different.
Whether it's for the stability of the team or the anxiety of the players' personal development...
It is natural to do so.
It's just that this is different from the values of the Qingdo High School baseball team.
In the past, the Qingdao High School baseball team couldn't make it to Jiaziyuan for several years in a row. It is rude to say that at that time, the Qingdao High School had reached the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted.
If the Qingdo High School baseball team didn't make it to Koshien last summer, maybe Director Kataoka would have to resign voluntarily.
In that case, the Qingdao High School baseball team can only adopt the strategy of whoever does it.
Appoint people on their merits.
As long as it can bring victory to the team, it will be promoted.
No matter what grade level, there are no exceptions to this rule.
It is precisely for this reason that the Qingdao High School baseball team has emerged a lot of rising stars. No matter which session it is in, there are excellent players from the first year participating in it.
This rule has been continued in this way and has become the tradition of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
But that doesn't mean all teams across the island are like that.
Most teams, including the Qingdo High School baseball team before that.
There is absolutely no promotion in the first grade.
They will have to wait until the end of the summer this year, and they will have a chance to be promoted until the team is rebuilt in the fall.
Unless there is a very special genius, it is very difficult to change this law.
This has even become a practice, and there are special competitions held for freshmen in many parts of the island country.
Also to balance this relationship...
Although Qingdao High School has new iron rules, it is impossible for people to have no feelings.
These third-year players have all trained with Supervisor Kataoka for a very long time.
The relationship between them is more than the relationship between the first-year player and Director Kataoka.
If the strength of the two sides is similar, Supervisor Kataoka is still willing to favor Lao Sheng a little bit.
Just like this time, he gave Laosheng a chance to run in with the main team.
The three newcomers of the first grade, Kominato Haruichi, Tojo, and Kanimaru.
All were assigned to other games.
Of course, this does not mean that Lao Sheng has become the main force, and what Kataoka provides them is just an opportunity.
As for whether the players can seize this opportunity?
It's up to them...
Pies do not fall from the sky, even if one day, the pie does fall.
Those who hit it must be those who are prepared.
In the Qingdao high school baseball team, even if there is a supervisor and a coach's preference.
If the strength is really not up to the standard, you are absolutely not qualified to stand in the position of the first army.
In the final analysis, strength comes first.
Really strong, everything is easy to say. If there is no strength, it can only be rested.
The third-year players who were named also understood this very well.
Their eyes were sharp, and their eyes flashed fiercely.
Especially Kijima and Hiritate.
They have strong competitors in their respective positions. If they have ambitions to win the main position, they must show enough amazing performance in the game against Jiuzhong.
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, another bus drove into the stadium of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
This bus looks a little older than the one from Chiba Kashiwagi High School.
It doesn't seem particularly stylish.
But if you underestimate Kunou High School because of this, it would be a big mistake.
The reason why the bus that the players of Kashiwagi High School in Chiba prefecture rides is so new and so beautiful.
The main reason is because their bus is rented.
Originally, Kashiwagi High School was a rising star, and the infrastructure of their school was never perfect.
Under such circumstances, how could there be a bus dedicated to the baseball club?
Although the bus of Kuju High School is a bit broken, the other one is dedicated.
It also has the words Kune High School Baseball Club on it.
So don't look at the bus is a bit shabby, but this just proves the foundation of Jiuzhong.
The years of people owning a bus are not short.
As for the buses of the baseball club of Qingdao High School, there are now three buses.
One is dedicated to the first army, one is responsible for cheering the team, or pulling the second army to the competition.
There is another one that was just replaced before, because the age of use has reached, and it is waiting to be scrapped.
"As expected of Qingdao High School!!"
Kunou High School, which is also a wealthy family, is supposed to have very good training facilities.
Private schools, especially those dominated by baseball.
The energy and money they have invested in this area is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
But even so, when the players from Ninth High School got off the bus, they were still shocked by the luxury in front of them.
It is worthy of being a veteran giant, and it is worthy of being a king of youth.
Stadiums for competitions, basic training facilities...
In these respects, the Qingdao High School baseball team is not inferior to the professional teams at all.
How much does it cost to do this?
The players of Kunou High School had no choice but to sigh.
Although Kanagawa is already very good, but compared with Greater Tokyo.
The difference is still obvious.
Of course you can't compare Konoe High School with the average Tokyo Metropolitan High School.
No grassroots school can compare to the private giants in terms of professional baseball facilities and teachers.
Just a comparison between giants.
The giants in Tokyo are generally stronger than the giants in other areas in terms of facilities.
There are occasional exceptions, but most of them are.
The players from Kunou High School looked at the scene in front of them, jealous to the death.
They are both high school students, and they are also the top giants in the country. Why is the difference so big?
So much so that they have a little bit of themselves, and their hearts are unbalanced!
"Do you feel that the other party is particularly angry?"
The supervisor of Kunou High School is a very understanding middle-aged man.
With a beard flowing on his face, he doesn't look like the supervisor of a certain team at all, but more like the kind of bandit in the novel.
But when he spoke, he was very gentle.
A huge contrast to his wild image.
The members of the Konoe High School baseball team were also willing to answer such an understanding question from the supervisor.
They nodded in unison.
To be honest, they were indeed a little **** off.
As for why you are angry?
They themselves could not find a plausible answer.
If not to say.
It's probably just envy and jealousy.
They are also high school students, they are already national hegemons, and the main players in the team are all star players.
When I usually train, I still enjoy such a luxury training equipment.
It is said that people are better than people, and goods should be thrown away.
Compared with these guys on the Qingdao High School baseball team, their lives are simply a failure.
Such comparisons naturally made them uncomfortable.
"Then defeat the opponent and slap them in the face."
The bearded supervisor suggested with a smile.
When he said this proposal, the players of Kunou High School not only did not share the same hatred.
One by one they became silent.
Slap Qingdao High School in the face?
What an international joke.
How could the Wang Zhe Qing Dao high school baseball team be so easily slapped in the face?
No one has ever lost in the whole country, so why would they lose to Kunou.
Do you really think the top giants in the country are amazing?
Are the top giants in the country who were eliminated by the Qingdao High School baseball team before?
The bearded supervisor looked at his disciple's dejected performance, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Before the game was played, they were discouraged first.
How can you compete with the Qingdao High School baseball team?
However, this is also impossible.
Since the Qingdao High School baseball team drew with the North American Dream Team.
Qingdao High School stepped onto the altar.
To know that they have won two national championships.
That in itself is already on the script for the dynasty.
Now tied again with the legendary North American Dream Team.
Let me ask, who else in the country is the opponent of the Qingdao High School baseball team?
Now the teams in the island country generally have only two attitudes when facing the behemoth of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
One is dissatisfaction!
Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and there are always people who are generous, no matter what kind of opponent they face? They can't wait to bite each other's flesh.
Another is lack of confidence.
Maybe when they played against other teams, they had a high morale.
But as long as you encounter the green road, you must stop.
Before they played against Qingdao, they didn't think they could win.
This is a normal behavior.
Either Kashiwagi High School or Kune High School.
It's almost the same mentality.
Nationwide, people with the same mentality as them.
Not in the minority either.
The Bearded Superintendent knew this very well. Seeing that his disciples were depressed, although he felt awkward, he did not accuse them.
"If it was in the past, I don't think we really have a chance to defeat each other. But considering the time point now, we might have a chance."
Hearing the supervisor's words, all the players from Kunou High School came to their senses.
The chance to defeat King Qingdo High School...
Regardless of the process and cause, for this result, a contestant from Konoe High School, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com doesn't mind fighting.
The bearded supervisor also doesn't mind fighting.
For the 100th Koshien Festival, Kanagawa Prefecture has two entries.
Originally, his hope of qualifying was really low, but if there were two places.
Kunou High School, maybe there is a chance, not necessarily!
Of course, any opportunity is based on strength.
If Konoe High School can finally defeat Qingdo in this practice match.
For them, the opportunity is too rare!
After the players have added such confidence, maybe they really have a chance to score in the top two.
"We are like this..."
…
