Diamond Ace: Qingdao King

Chapter 219 Chapter 167

Gan Xiangang has always been very clear about his partner's arrogance and self-importance. Although he doesn't think it's a bad thing, he still needs to remind him of the things that should be paid attention to.

It's okay to be arrogant, but you must never underestimate your opponent.

"Qingdao's first-year pitchers are also very good, especially Jiang Guxiao. After retiring from the third grade, they should be their new ace. And they also have a good left and side pitcher."

"Hmm~" Taiyo Mukai pulled his hair back and snorted, "So what, I'm going to be the best pitcher in Tokyo."

Gan Xian just smiled. Although there are many senior pitchers now, the Suns are only a freshman, and he will surpass them sooner or later.

He patted his gloves: "Continue!"

……

In the evening, the sorted information came out. Even a conceited person like Mukai listened carefully. He firmly remembered the characteristics of each batterer, and he had to deal with them one by one.

But it's a pity, the data is so pitiful, have you really done a good job in intelligence work?

"Most of their previous main players were in the third grade, and now they are changing very quickly, so many statistics are lacking."

"Then who were the sophomores in the main force before?"

"Catcher Miyuki Kazuya, shortstop Kuramochi Yoichi, tool man Kenjiro Hakushu. However, their lineup this year should be supplemented by many second-year bench players, but last year's records were few and the data was incomplete."

Taiyo Mukai brushed his hair and said, "How difficult is it to deal with the batters who couldn't be the main players before and waited for the seniors to retire?"

"Leave it to me, and I will suppress their line play, absolutely! Just leave this kind of showmanship to me."

……

Di Dong is ready to make a move, and Qingdao's actual combat training is also proceeding rapidly.

Because of the new lineup, for the current team, a good run-in is more important than anything else.

As for Chen Xin's final position, infield or outfield, Supervisor Kataoka still depends on the results of this short period of practice.

Although he still wants to put Chen Xin in the infield, after all, with his defense, the infield's defensive ability will be greatly enhanced.However, considering that he personally prefers to defend the center and outfield, he also wants to adjust it if possible. After all, although Chen Xin can share the pressure of other players in the infield, but considering that he may have to go to the plate to shoot in the future, so the defense I also want him to relax as much as possible.

But if there is no suitable candidate for third base, Chen Xin can only be stuffed first.

The summer has just passed, and the new lineup started late. If it can be adjusted before next year, it will already be considered as meeting expectations.

On the last day before the game, Supervisor Kataoka finally announced the starting lineup for the game.
The starting pitcher undoubtedly fell on Furutani, Chen Xin was placed in center field, and the original third base position was left on Hikasa Shoji, who has been playing excellent defense from time to time.

Of course Hikasa Shoji's defensive skills cannot be compared with Chen Xin's, but among all the players competing for this position, he is the hardest and most beautiful defensive player.

While believing in his own judgment, Supervisor Kataoka also compared some data generated by Chen Xin's device. Although the other party said that the number of samples is too small to be used as an accurate basis, he only looked at the existing ones. Is the best choice at the moment.

"Play well."

"There is no need to have too much psychological burden. It is true that Didong is a prestigious and strong team, but we are also a team that has reached the semi-finals of Koshien. You will definitely be able to do it!" Director Kataoka patted chest, smiled and said: "Tomorrow, it is enough to go all out!"

"Yes!!"

……

Autumn Tokyo Metropolitan High School Baseball Tournament officially begins!
First battle: Didong VS Qingdao.

Weather: rain.

The weather today is not very good, but even if it is the first round of the game, there are many people watching the game and the support is very enthusiastic.

"There are so many people?" Chen Xin poked her head: "I thought only Jiashiyuan would be valued more."

"Of course." Kuramochi was making preparations, and said while making preparations: "The spring and summer games are all national competitions, but because the Tokyo area is divided into east and west divisions, there are no teams from the two divisions. It is rare to meet in the autumn competition, so everyone will pay more attention to it."

"Oh!" Chen Xin understood, just like the cross-alliance competitions he occasionally encountered when he was playing professionally.

Cangchi is more worried about Chen Xin today: "Are you okay with this kind of competition today?"

Chen Xin blinked in confusion: "What's the problem? I don't have any problems in any games. If there are problems, I will tell them in advance. There is never a problem of reluctantly appearing on the stage."

Kuramo: "..."

"Who asked you that." He pointed to the sky: "I mean, in this weather, can you fight?"

It was raining today, and the weather in the previous games was relatively normal. Chen Xin changed his defensive position at this time. To be honest, he was still a little worried.He is an indispensable member of the line. If he is injured and cannot hit due to weather, slippery ground, etc., it will be troublesome.

"Huh?" Chen Xin raised an eyebrow: "What does rain mean?"

Cang Chi clicked his tongue, it's not his fault for thinking that way, it's because Chen Xin has always given people the impression that he is of the 'health-care' school, never over-trained, and usually pays great attention to everything.Compared to his sweaty teammates, this guy is just a freak, and he also dislikes mess. He is the one who takes the most diligent bathing and changing clothes.

So he was really worried about the other party today, but...well, he was more worried about Chen Xin not wanting to play on the spot, and hating the state of the court.

It's raining heavily today and it's inevitable to be a little muddy.

Chen Xin patted his butt: "This little rain is nothing. I have played games in pouring rain before."

This is really not his bragging, he has a lot of experience playing games in extreme weather.

When I started playing professionally, there were 162 regular season games in a season, and the time was compressed into half a year. The schedule was very tight. Under such circumstances, some weather changes were almost irreversible, as long as it was not extremely bad. To an extreme extent, the game that should be played must still be played.

Pause at most in the middle or delay the start.

He has played in heavy snow, and he has also been forced to play in heavy rain. What is light rain?Besides... "I'm not a pitcher hahahahaha!!"

Jiang Gu who was passing by pricked up his ears: "??"

……

However, the experience of watching games on rainy days is definitely not very good, and the players' experience of playing is naturally not as good as in normal weather conditions.

But at least in one respect...there's no need for occlusion at all.

So everyone watched his naked appearance for the first time since his 'debut'.

I didn't wear sunglasses that covered half of my face, and I didn't apply exaggerated black eyes. My whole face was clean and refreshing. Considering the rainy situation, I even tied a low ponytail to save my hair from getting wet during the game. It's ugly to be photographed one by one.

"You're really not used to seeing me like this!"

"Missing the sunglasses and body protection?"

Some players who don't have much contact with practice are really strange, and even have a feeling that this guy looks like this~
Miyuki also pushed his own glasses, and asked curiously: "You are like this, is it okay to hit? I mean, I am used to sunglasses..."

"No problem, it's not that the frame glasses suddenly changed to invisible." When it came to this, Chen Xin became excited: "I used to have a hitter on the team. He was myopic and astigmatized. He used to wear frame glasses. Later, I felt that it was not convenient to sweat in summer, so I tried to replace it with an invisible daily throw. As a result... just after I put it on to adapt, there was a little deviation in the distance of the object. I'm about to cry. I'm so happy to switch back to the frame glasses haha~"

Miyuki has never worn invisibility before, so he doesn't know much about this. He was quite surprised to hear what he said: "Will the impact be so big?"

He also plans to change it in the future. After all, glasses are always inconvenient, and sports models are the same, especially in summer. When you are sweating and itchy, you can't poke them in. You can only bear it, and it is too tortured. There are some people.

But now that Chen Xin said that, he hesitated~
Not to mention whether it will affect the squatting arrest, even if it affects the blow, he can't stand it. He should wear glasses obediently first. As for the operation, he has never thought about it.

"But you've worked hard today. It's raining, and the temperature is not low. Isn't it super stuffy?"

"It will be fine in a while. When the temperature drops, it's okay to squat up. But you should pay special attention in the outfield. Don't work too hard. It's best not to get hurt."

"No way."

Miyuki asked, "Are you good at that kind of side shot?"

Although Chen Xin usually plays Versailles, she usually brags about history and never says anything out of thin air, so Yuxing just wants a standard answer. If she is good at playing, this brand new line will be more confident.

As a result, Chen Xin blinked: "I don't know, I rarely hit."

I don't know how many of them I have in my entire career, but I guess there are a few, right?After all, side shots are rare in the first place, and they can be used well, and there are very few who have made it to the big leagues and stood firm~
Is there a starter?
Chen Xin poked his face~ He really had no image at all.

A little lower~submarine type has probably only experienced single digits, and the number of fights is also very limited.

His eyes fell on the court, and the rain showed no intention of stopping: "In this case, half of the game will not be canceled, right? How many games will be considered valid?"

"At least seven innings."

Miyuki asked again: "Have you brought enough changing clothes? It will be very troublesome if you catch a cold and affect the next game."

The team now not only has a new lineup, but also has a shallow bench, and it is impossible to only focus on the outcome of the game in front of them, so we still have to pay special attention, especially Chen Xin!indispensable.

"Yeah! I have the most of this kind of thing, don't worry."

Even though he knew he was reliable, Miyuki couldn't help but say one more thing: "Remember to wear inner lining."

The temperature was a little high when I was at school, but now it has cooled down significantly, so I still have to pay attention to heat preservation, especially Chen Xin who usually doesn't like to wear underwear.

Chen Xin rubbed her stomach, and changed into it anyway, it was really getting cold.

After changing the clothes, I happened to see what Jiang Gu was digging out there, so I leaned over and took a look, only to see a large pile of linings and jerseys, which were neatly arranged, and I was a little shocked when they piled up there: "There are so many?!"

He had already exaggerated the amount he had prepared, but he didn't expect this one to prepare more.

Jiang Gu said seriously: "It's raining, I'm afraid it will affect the clothes if we get wet."

That's true, Chen Xin nodded. In his opinion, pitchers are indeed more 'fragile'. Shoulders or muscles are easily injured if they are cold. Naturally, heat preservation is the most important thing.

But even so...it's too much preparation, right?
What a serious kid.

Rua patted the other person's hair: "It's hard work."

Jiang Gu: "??"

Huh? "Has the rain stopped?"

I went out and looked at it, it was drizzling, but it was still raining.

I hope to stop quickly, seeing that Jiang Gu is nervous, I can't wait to bring all the jerseys.

~
Di Dong was looking at Qingdao's list. With the new lineup, the people on the line were much stranger than in the intelligence.

1 bats: Yoichi Kuramochi, shortstop
2 bats: center fielder, Chen Xin

3 bat: Second baseman, Haruichi Kominato
4 sticks: Catcher, Kazuya Miyuki

5 sticks: Kenta Maezono
6 bats: First baseman, Shoji Hikasa

7 bats: Right fielder, Kenjiro Hakushu
8 bats: Center fielder, Hideaki Tojo

9 bats: Pitcher, Akira Furutani
"Hideaki Tojo?"

"know?"

Taiyo Mukai clicked his tongue in displeasure: "Matsukata's ace in the past, ha! He actually gave up the mound to a few outsiders? What is this guy doing? Outfielder?"

Ah!
Stretched his shoulders: I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.

Fortunately, he still expected to continue to compete with others on the mound after high school, but he actually gave up the mound and went to the outfield?

accurate!

……

While the two teams were preparing, besides the audience, the media and some scouts, there were also many "children" watching the game.

Most of these junior high school students are the best at the current level. They are about to enter their high school careers. There are many teams recruiting them, but the children have their own ideas. In addition to the team having to be good enough, they actually have their own Some little thoughts.

For example, how is the cohesion of the team and what type of teammates are they?

More detailed is whether there is too much competition for the position you want to play, or whether the person you want to partner with is reliable or not.

"Guangzhou." The boy with glasses wearing a turban asked the friend next to him: "Do you really want to come to Qingdao?"

Qingdao came here to find them, it's not bad to be a special student, and Qingdao is also considered a prestigious school, but it's too far away.

They generally don't choose schools in Tokyo, and there are many famous baseball schools in the area.

But I don't know what Guangzhou thinks, it seems that he is very interested in Qingdao, but it's raining today, so I don't know what the two teams can do?

Guangzhou only stared at the field, and he didn't make a decision, he wanted to see the pitcher first.

He is a catcher, and he has no intention of changing his defensive position in the future, so he naturally pays attention to pitchers, and... Qingdao's catchers.

Whether it was Chris before or Miyuki now, their defense, guidance for pitchers, and the strange technique of moving gloves, all of these, he is very interested...

　I'm sorry, sorry, I'm too busy, it's too late to add more, I will try my best tomorrow, sorry everyone.

　　I haven't even had time to watch the game lately.
