"Shocking! The Qing Dao master-apprentice showdown is about to break out."
"The civil war in King Qingdao High School, the former supervisor pk is now supervising."
"Qingdao meritorious supervision Sakaki, lead the new team, challenge the old club!"
...
Mobile websites are full of such news.
"These reporters are really good enough, they can dig out anything!"
In dormitory No. 5, Wang Xi fiddled with his mobile phone and said in surprise.
"Where? Where?"
Kuramochi hurriedly put his head close and browsed the above information together.
There's nothing else on the phone, it's all about that.
It was as if the entire baseball world was revolving around Qingdo High School.
A little news from Qing Dao can immediately cause a stir.
"These guys are really powerful, where did they get the news?"
Kuramochi felt a little weird.
"For us, high school baseball has been dead for only three years. But those media reporters are different. They rely on this to eat."
Sawamura said calmly.
Not to mention that the Qingdao High School baseball team is currently in the limelight, even in the past few years, Qingdao High School was also the top giant in the country.
Reporters in this line of work are absolutely familiar with the news about the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Just like those real football fans, for the giants they support, whether it is experience, past, players, coaches...
The same is true.
The power of love is limitless, not to mention that they still rely on the line to eat.
At the same time, many friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were browsing the information on their mobile phones.
In today's information age, mobile phones have become an indispensable thing for people.
Some people can even wear fewer clothes, eat fewer meals, and can't leave their phone for a moment.
Sawamura Eijun has no special thoughts about these overwhelming news.
In his view, this is a matter of course.
But for Director Kataoka, the feeling should be different.
Compare your heart to heart, when one day you really meet Chris on the field of professional baseball?
What was your state of mind at that time?
Sawamura Eijun couldn't tell if that day did not come.
But come to think of it, the mood must be very complicated.
From this aspect, Director Kataoka's feelings must be the same.
His mood must be very complicated.
Excited, excited, and dazed...
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the game arrives.
After reaching the quarter-finals, the next game will be held at Jingu Stadium.
The number of spectators is increasing!
Most of the fans here are fans who support Qingdo High School, but apart from Sawamura Eijun's own fan group, other fans reacted strangely.
They didn't put that tsunami of pressure on their opponents like they used to.
Their response was calm, just applauding and not shouting slogans.
Director Sakaki has coached the Qingdo High School baseball team for many, many years.
Work until retirement!
For such a meritorious supervisor, the die-hard fans of Qingdao have given enough respect.
"I didn't expect that supervisor to have such a great influence in our Qing Dao!"
Kuramochi scratched his scalp.
These players are actually okay, because they have been trained by the supervisor Kataoka, and of course they don't have any feelings about the old supervisor who has been away for several years.
Haven't seen each other before, how could you possibly feel?
But those fans are different!
Although Qingdao High School has dominated the country, its fans have increased a lot, but its core main force is still the old fans who have supported Qingdao High School before.
Many of these old fans are students who graduated from Qingdao High School.
Their feelings for Qing Dao are definitely not inferior to those of the players. Not to mention that many of them were once taught by Superintendent Sakaki.
So there is this scene.
In the comprehensive lounge area of Yuliang.
Director Sakaki was also very moved by the fans' reaction.
Reach out and take the initiative to say hello to those old fans in the stands.
The fans immediately responded with rapturous applause.
It's just that from start to finish, he didn't cheer Supervisor Sakaki.
After all, they are also supporters of the Qingdo High School baseball team.
If you didn't applaud You Liang comprehensively, you were already looking at Superintendent Sakaki's face, so how could you cheer them on?
That is simply not realistic.
Fortunately, Superintendent Sakaki didn't force it, but concentrated on watching the opposing starting lineup.
The starting pitcher is Akatsuki.
Supervisor Sakaki is not surprised by this, whether it is public or private, Kataoka will never let Sawamura Eijun start the game.
For Yu Gong, You Liang did not let Qingdao High School directly dispatch the starting strength, at least not showing such strength.
Taking into account the difficulty of the semi-finals and finals after that. Retaining the ace pitcher for the time being is a matter of course.
In private, that little guy has always been unconvinced of himself, and definitely wants to defeat himself in a head-to-head contest.
Under such circumstances, how could he have dispatched such a big killer as Sawamura Eijun?
If it was Sawamura Eijun, they would win in the end.
Did Kataoka win? Or did Sawamura win?
This is also a mess.
So no matter from which point of view, it is impossible for Kataoka to directly let Sawamura Eijun play.
Unless the situation is out of control, he has to prioritize the team's victory or defeat.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Sawamura Eijun to play in this game.
Except that the ace pitcher is not Sawamura, in other positions, Kataoka has no reservations.
The ones sent are the absolute core main force in their team.
Number two, catcher, Miyuki!
No. 3, first baseman, front yard.
No. 4, second baseman, Haruichi Kominato.
No. 5, third baseman, Kanamaru.
Six, shortstop, Kuramochi.
No. 7, left fielder, Aso.
No. 8, the backbone, Tojo.
No. 9, right fielder, White State.
This is almost all based on the back numbers of the players of Qingdo High School.
It seems a little inflexible, a little rigid.
But Director Sakaki, who was familiar with Kataoka and Aojima, didn't think so.
In the previous two games, except for garbage time, these main players were on the court at other times.
This can be said to be the main force of the Qingdo High School baseball team.
There is a risk of being targeted by using a fixed main force.
For example, if your play schedule is always fixed, it will be easy for others to figure out, who should walk? Who should avoid the showdown with, or even which soft persimmon to pick...
In this case, the smooth play can still be fixed, and the main lineup can still be fixed.
That means that this team has experienced hundreds of battles and is very mature.
Even if they are targeted, they have absolute strength and confidence and can defeat any opponent.
Only in this way, their play can be completely fixed.
Through the observation of these few games, Director Sakaki can say with great confidence.
The main force of the Qingdo High School baseball team has been fixed.
"The team adjustment is really good!"
Director Sakaki glanced enviously at Aojima's rest area.
Wealthy! seed! Potential player!
These three complement each other, and now Qingdao High School has all three, and the team has been adjusted so well.
No wonder the Qingdo High School baseball team was able to achieve such good results before!
That stinky boy Kataoka is really capable.
In contrast, Youliang has a few good players. However, the adjustment of the team has not been in place.
Now I have to make various adjustments, otherwise, there is no way to play against Qing Dao at all.
This adjustment has a good side, for example, it is not easy for the opponent to see through, and it is not easy for the opponent to find obvious flaws.
But there is definitely a downside.
It's not just the opponents that need to adapt, but their own players.
"Children, the next game is up to you!"
Before the start of the game, Director Sakaki didn't say anything nonsense, but directly sent the players on the field.
What to say long before the game, he has already said it.
On the other hand, Director Kataoka looked around the surrounding disciples with a serious face.
"The preparations that should be made have been completed, and the other party's information has been clearly mapped in your mind. Next, don't worry, play your own strength steadily. The final victory must belong to us!"
These words are loud and clear.
The friends are also very face, and all applaud.
"Look, you!"
When Director Kataoka returned to the rest area, he saw Sawamura Eijun actively looking for him.
"how?"
"Can you let me play in this game?"
