King's Green Road

Chapter 49 Part49 Final preparations before the game

On July 7th, the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly. This day was the fourth round of the competition of Pharmacist High School.

Tatsuchi Chikusa
Without any suspense, Yaoshi High School won the game with a big score.

In the evening, Chris and other intelligence personnel who went to investigate also collected and sorted out the opponent's information for the next game.

At this time, in the meeting room of the cafeteria, players from the first army of Qingdao also gathered.

The video of Yaoshi's match against Chikusa today also started to play on the screen.

"With the vigor of defeating the city's third-ranked pharmacist, facing their next round opponent, Tachi Chikusa ended the game early with a score of 12:3 and won the game in seven rounds. Unexpectedly, he advanced to the quarterfinals!"

At this time, the picture was fixed on the pharmacist pitcher with the number 18 on his back.

"It's a right-handed right-hander who relies mostly on the tough way he hits the inside corner, plus the squirt shot to the right-hander's chest as a weapon.

"Sanada Toshihei with the number 18 on his back, he can be said to be the actual ace pitcher of this team."

Chris was still holding his notebook as always, while looking at the screen on the screen and explaining the information he had collected.

"Spray ball? How strange!" Captain Yuki took the lead in expressing his opinion after Chris introduced the pitcher.

"Why isn't he the starting pitcher?" Jun Isashiki also asked questions at this time, "Is he injured?"

"That's not clear, but warm up the ace pitcher,
He also suddenly replaced all the hitters at the center bat, which is beyond common sense. If this is the result of calculation,

I believe that some tactics will be implemented when dealing with our games. "

"Also, the other important point is Yaoshi's line-up, three center sticks, three sticks Mishima, four sticks for Honglei City, five sticks for Akiba,

7 hits, 8 runs, can't be taken lightly just because they're freshmen. "

While talking, Chris pointed to the information on the three callers in the pharmacist center posted on the whiteboard beside him.

When Chris talked about the three first-year players from the Pharmacist Center, he also showed a rare expression of caution on his face.

Because these three center hitters are Li Chikusa no matter whether they are in the city's junior high competition or facing today's opponents today. The performance of these three first-year players is really amazing.

The most astonishing one was Hong Leishi, a first-year four-stick hitter from Pharmacist High School.

In the city's junior high school game, he smashed the pitcher's home run with one bat, and every swing carried a majestic power. He was a strong first-year bat that had to be noticed.

It can be said that as long as this boy can be contained, he will definitely win the game steadily.

The first-year trio sitting below, Eijun, Furutani, and Kominato Haruichi all had a dazzling starlight in their eyes at this moment.

The three of them had different thoughts, but they all thought of the same person--Hong Leishi. (=^▽^=)
Great batters of their time!
Haruichi wants to surpass him and become the number one recognized player of his time.

Jiang Gu wants to prove through him that he is the best and strongest pitcher.

Eijun purely thought that this guy Leishi is very easy to deceive except for baseball, he is a simple, kind and unsociable boy.

That kind of beast-like intuitive attack will be very helpful to improve your pitching. After the game with them, go hook him up, hehe. ()
The mentality of the three people is different, and the ideas of creation are naturally different.

At this time, Director Kataoka also interjected, "Yakushi's entire team has stolen bases seven times..."

"Yeah, they don't hit the ball, but they run the bases aggressively."

"It seems that this is a team that will actively run the bases. We also need to pay attention to their strong hitting line. Not using bunt will bring unknown pressure to pitchers."

"This opponent may be stronger than we imagined!" Speaking of this, Director Kataoka's eyes flickered under the sunglasses.

"The next thing is about the starting pitcher for the game against Pharmacist..." He glanced at the four pitchers below, all of them showed longing expressions.

His eyes lingered on Rongchun for a while, and finally looked at his little friend Jiang Gu, who was beside him.

"Jianggu, you will play first."

"Yes! (3`)" It's great to start pitching again.

It's just that before he was happy for a minute, Supervisor Kataoka brutally deprived him of his happiness.

"In the third game, after the first round of line-up, I changed pitches, and Kawakami played."

"Yes!" (=^▽^=)
"After the sixth inning, Danba, your ace, will play the game and use your strength and skills to lead everyone forward."

"Yes!" (ω)
Hearing the words that his own supervisor finally entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, Danbo clenched his hands excitedly, with an excited expression on his face. (￣▽￣)
At this time, as the starter, Jiang Gu could no longer feel any joy, and could only shoot three innings. (〒▽〒）
"Ah Yao, although there is no way to meet you again, I will definitely take revenge for you when the time comes." (.-`ω-)
This is his first boarding since he was injured. Whether it is for himself, the team or his friends, he will show all his fighting spirit.

Not far away, Eijun looked at the ace Tanba senior who was finally going to play next, and narrowed his eyes slightly, hoping for a good performance.

It's just that now he seems to have more fighting spirit than before the injury, and I hope he won't be beaten back to his original shape by that guy from Leishi's swing.

At this time, the third-year seniors around Tanba all smiled with relief and excitement.

"Haha, it's finally your turn to play Danbo, don't be outcompeted by your juniors tomorrow, you'll lose the chain."

Jun Isashiki stepped forward boldly, patted Tanba Koichiro on the shoulder, and joked happily.

"Come on, Danba."

Captain Yuki also congratulated.

"Woo ga one by one ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ"

"Hehe, it's the same as before. Don't worry, we are standing behind you."

At this time, Kominato Ryosuke also spoke emotionally with a smile, no longer the venomous tongue of the past.

This is the will of the third-year players to work together, and it is a silent understanding accumulated over a lot of time.

"I will also make some minor adjustments to the remaining players and starting bats."

Everyone who was still happy that Ace was finally on the board was also nervous at the moment.

"First bat, shortstop, Kuramochi!"

"Yes!" Yoichi Kuramochi, the undisputed owner of the first shot.

"Second bat, second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato!"

"Yes!" This is also the hitter with the strongest linkage with the first bat.

"Third, the backbone, Isashiki!"

"Ah one by one, yes!"

"Fourth bat, first baseman, Tetsuya Yuuki!"

"Yes, supervisor." Fudo is the master and general.

"Fifth..." At this point, Director Kataoka paused for a moment, first glanced at Hara Goku, Masuko Toru, and then fixed his gaze on Eijun who was not far away.

When Zeng Zitou saw the supervisor glanced at him, he put his gaze on the elementary school boy in the same dormitory as him, his eyes darkened for a moment, and then he was relieved.

"Fifth bat, left fielder, Sawamura!"

Rong Chun was stunned at this moment⊙⊙!
He actually hit the fifth bat, true or false? !What about Senior Masuko?
He glanced at Senior Masuko hurriedly, but saw the gentle eyes of Senior who tolerated and encouraged him.

"Sawamura, what's your answer?!" Supervisor Kataoka saw that Eijun didn't respond for a long time, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Was he afraid?

"Ugh, yes!"

"Hahaha, this guy Sawamura is actually crying because of the fifth bat." Kuramochi also didn't expect his elementary school boy to have red circles because of the fifth bat. (￣▼￣)
"Rong Chun-jun, don't cry, here is the paper." Chunshi silently reached out and handed Rong Chun a tissue to wipe.

"Zengzi, to be robbed of the fifth bat by a crying junior, that sucks!"

"Sawamura, if you don't perform well at that time, be careful and be punished by us!"

"Sawamura, don't disappoint Masuko's five-stick position!"

"Zengzi, try to get back the fifth bat as soon as possible, don't lose!"

"It's probably because I ate too much. The supervisor can't see it. I want to motivate you, Masuko."

"Uga--

(／‵口′)／~╧╧”

Masuko was teased by these third-year teammates and blushed, but he would never give up the fifth-ball position next time.

Ozawa village, this time five sticks belong to you,

You have to behave well too. (=^▽^=)
This is the seniors of his family, they are so good, even though their mouths are vicious, but the words are not encouragement to themselves.

It's too bad that they failed them in the previous life, Eijun, so this life is to make up for their tolerance and love for themselves. (T▽T)
"Sixth bat, third baseman, Masuko!"

"Uga one by one!"

"It's okay to increase your strength. This time, it's just a second adjustment for strategic arrangements. It's not that you are not recognized as the fifth best ability."

Supervisor Kataoka still explained it to his disciples, although on the surface it seemed that they themselves did not have any doubts or dissatisfaction.

But if you say something yourself, the effect is better.

"Yes, supervisor!"

After hearing what his supervisor said, Zengzi really felt more relieved in his heart. Although he wanted to open it before, it was a different feeling to be affirmed by the supervisor.

"Seventh bat, catcher, Miyuki!"

"Yes!" Bangci's adjustment didn't matter to me, as long as he was the catcher, there would be no problem.

"Eighth bat, pitcher, down valley!"

"Yes……"

Jiang Gu was still immersed in the bad news that he could only pitch three innings, he couldn't let go of it for a long time, and was very depressed.

"Ninth bat, right fielder, Hakushu!"

"Yes!" This great time is also in a state of being immobile for ten thousand years.

"I will judge according to the situation of the game that it is possible to advance or delay the timing of the switch, so everyone in the pitching line should also be prepared, you know?"

"Yes!" The three pitchers who were confirmed to be on the plate in the next game were all shaken.

"The game is tomorrow. Before the game starts, you have to be ready."

"Then let's go!"

"Yes!"

Then everyone left the cafeteria in twos and threes, some returned to their dormitories, and some continued to practice.

……

Suginami Ward, Tokyo, Yakushi High School

Under the darkness of night, on the court of Yaoshi High School with night lights on, the players were still practicing.

"Okay, let's do the final practice!"

"The guy who can't hit the touch well in practice, don't even think about playing! Give me a good practice, you know!"

At this time, on the field of Yaoshi High School, the players of Yaoshi are practicing bunt

"Really... I never expected that the team that has never used strikes is actually practicing strikes."

o((⊙﹏⊙))o
Akiko Owada, who came to interview with Mine Fujio today, was very surprised to see this scene.

"Miss Tall, don't underestimate baseball!"

Hong Leizang couldn't help retorting after hearing what Akiko Yamato said behind him.

"Big guy?!"

Owada Akiko looked at Hong Lei Zang in disbelief, very angry.

How could someone describe her so beautifully?She is really angry.

"We can use touch at any time, and it is because of this confidence that we let them play as much as possible.

Baseball is actually something that belongs to the players who are fighting on the field, so let the players in the game play as they please. "

"Strict, correct, and serious in practice, and enjoy the fun of the game in the game, this is my principle. Do you understand?"

Hong Leizang is very confident in his guidance, as long as it is about baseball-related things, he can talk about it.

"Yes……"

While the way the game looks like he's messing around, the man actually has his own ideas about baseball.

Fujio looked at the players practicing hard on the court and was very moved. It really is a team that cannot be underestimated. No wonder the city's junior high school will lose.

"Boom Supervisor, you retired from professional baseball at the age of 40, and you quit your job, leaving yourself in a jobless state?"

"Hey, you don't have to check so carefully, right?" Hong Leizang was also shocked.

"Because I can't do anything but play baseball, and then I ran out of money before I knew it, and my wife ran away."

Owada Akiko, Mine Fujio:

"..."(ー_ー)!!
"Fortunately, this school picked me up——"(=^▽^=)
This person is really useless, except for playing baseball, he is a big useless person!

Owada Akiko was really refreshed by Hong Lei Zang.

"Are you teaching your son how to swing a bat?" Fujio Mine still asked Yakushi about the most eye-catching player at the moment.

"Yeah, I just sent him to practice swinging with that bat over there, because I didn't have the money to send him to Little League or even Youth League, and he didn't even have a baseball team in his junior high school, so he learned to use this. Bat swings by imagining pitches from different monster pitchers in your head."

Hong Leizang said with pride on his face.

Owada Akiko only felt that it was really bad for classmate Hong to have such a father.

Mrs. Mine and Fuji also left after asking some other questions.

……

Pharmacist High School Meeting Video Indoor
"Ah, you guys are watching a movie again!" At this moment, a handsome sunny guy with a very handsome face walked in from the door.

This is the No. 18 pitcher of Yakushi High School-Sanada Shunhei.

"Senior Sanada, Lei Shi's father told us to observe carefully, so..."

The pharmacist's fifth stick, Qiu Ye, turned around and answered the words of his senior.

Only Hong Leishi was still staring at the video carefully, without taking his eyes off it, as if he didn't notice the arrival of Sanada Toshihei at all.

Sanada Junping walked up to Leishi and sat down, "Watching Qingdao's video this time, can you imagine it? Leishi."

"Hahaha——"(3`)
"These two are very interesting!" Lei Shi stared at Rong Chun and Jiang Gu who appeared on the screen at this moment.

"They?! I know that Jiang Gu is very good, but is there anything special about this left shot? I heard that he has better ball weight and ball control."

As a pitcher, Toshihei Sanada needs to understand the opponent's lineup the most. He doesn't lose to the lineup of the junior high school in the city, but the pitcher doesn't know much about it.

He thought that Qingdao's fastball pitcher would attract the attention of his monster junior, but he didn't expect that Qingdao's plain left-hander would also attract Leishi's interest.

"Sanada-senpai, this Sawamura Eijun's first-year left-hander has surprisingly good ball control,
He can stably shoot at the extreme positions of the four corners, and his change ball is a carter ball. "

After hearing what his senior Sanada said, Akiba couldn't help but tell the result of his own observation.

The reason why Akiba said it was because Sanada-senpai's decisive shots were jet balls and carter balls.

As Seido's first starting pitcher, there is only video of the game against Mingchuan, so all of Eijun's performances in the Mingchuan match are important data for Yakushi High School's investigation and research.

The carter ball exposed by Eijun in this game is naturally the focus of Yakushi High School's research.

"So that's the case, that's really interesting." Sanada Toshihei rubbed his chin with his hand suddenly, expressing that he understood.

"No, I can feel it, he has something that can't be imagined on the film, and it's not captured on the screen. That's the essence of his pitching, and that's what I'm interested in." o(( ⊙﹏⊙))o
"Qingdao High School, I really want to fight against them right away!" Hong Leishi seemed to have red eyes at this moment, and his breathing also became rapid.

"This guy Leishi is really real."

Sanada Shunhei looked at Lei Shi who was agitated with hunger and thirst, and smiled helplessly.

Tomorrow will be a big battle,

There can only be one winning team, whether it is Qing Dao or Pharmacist...
