The original intention of the diamond ace

Although the team has been built, it is still a long way from being able to officially play the game, but it is only half a month away from the competition. During this time, the supervisors and coaches have become quite busy with the arrangements for the retired players and the new team.

One night, in the supervisory room.

"Let Seto try it out, I think he should be quite suitable." Ochiai sat opposite Supervisor Kataoka, stroking his beard slowly.

"Well, yes. He can go to guard the guerrilla position." Supervisor Kataoka nodded lightly, "Let him and Minato get in touch after that, and I hope he can play in this competition."

"Let Minato, Takatsu, and Tojo come for the cleanup hitters."

"..." Director Kataoka was silent for a while, and then said decisively: "Let Yuuki be the four sticks, Minato be the three sticks, and Takatsu be the four sticks."

"Yuki's experience is still too little. Let him be the fourth stick now. There may be mistakes during the game. I don't agree with it."

Director Kataoka didn't answer him with a cold face, so Ochiai stopped trying to persuade him.

"Oda can also start some games first, and his previous performance can fully take up this responsibility."

"Ah."

"Now it's the catcher," coach Ochiai continued, "I recommend Okumura. Although he still looks a little immature at times, he does have talent and is ready to play."

"Well. Let's try to be a seven-stick first."

……

"That's about it. After that, I will try to see the result of this arrangement." After Kataoka finished speaking, he looked up at Ms. Takashima who was standing next to him, "How is the arrangement for the practice match?"

"Yeah." Ms. Gao Dao stood forward, "Maybe because Hagar won this time, the invitations sent out basically agreed. From the day after tomorrow, the first match is Hehaoyong, followed by Yu Rong... "

Soon it was the day of the practice match. In this game, Sawamura started, and Kuki was replaced after six rounds.

Although the game was won, it was also quite ugly.

The two pitchers were in very good condition, and they cooperated with the catcher quite well. Sawamura scored no points in six innings, and Kuki, who played for the first time as a freshman, also performed very calmly, conceding two runs.

But the line play is quite unsatisfactory in comparison. Except for Okumura, everyone in the first grade on the field performed abnormally, especially Yuki, who was in the fourth club. Although the grades were not that bad, the inconsistency of the lineup and the batting rate of the key bats were not satisfactory.

"Oh, so it's still too early..." Ochiai narrowed his eyes and watched from a distance.

After the competition, no need for supervision, everyone was quite uneasy. Although Haoyong's strength is good, it still has a long way to go compared with those famous families, not to mention that their strength has not improved after the third grade left.

Everyone looked at Supervisor Kataoka, and their hearts were beating drums, especially those second graders who had similar experiences.

Unexpectedly, Director Kataoka was not very angry. Instead, he calmly talked about the points that should be paid attention to in this game, and then asked everyone to disband.

During the meal, the second graders got together and said something with serious faces.

I glanced at the group of people, got up with the food tray, and prepared to leave.

Please, seniors~

……

At this time, in the second grade.

"It can't go on like this!" Jin Wan said seriously.

"Although the supervisor didn't say anything, it was even more uncomfortable—" Tojo pursed his lips.

"Then what should we do? It won't be solved in a while."

"Then do nothing! Then the Autumn Conference will lose in the fourth round!"

"Then tell me! What shall we do!"

All of a sudden there was a lot of discussion.

"Good! Good!" Sawamura clapped his hands, "The past is over, so there is no need to worry about the previous games."

"There is no need to be entangled in the next game. All we can do now is to play well in the next game!"

The strange thing is that after he finished speaking, no one spoke for a while, and everyone looked at him with strange expressions.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"...Well, it's nothing, it's just that you suddenly said such a reasonable thing, it feels a bit weird..."

"Yeah, yeah, it's pretty weird!"

"Hey!"

……

After that, a few more games later, I too was placed in the starting lineup, with Kuki and other second-year pitchers in reliever.

It is worth mentioning that the order of strikes in these games has also been adjusted. I was adjusted to the fifth bat in the end. As a substitute, Jing took his place in the outfield.At the beginning, Tojo-senpai and Okumura, who were the second batter, switched positions. Although Tojo-senpai’s batting rate is not low, the tacit understanding between Okumura and Seto is quite outstanding. After Okumura served as the second baton, Seto’s mobility Visible rises a lot.

Now the stable playing schedule is: one stick Seto; two sticks Okumura; three sticks Kominato; four sticks Yuki; five sticks Tojo (Oda); ; Nine sticks by Yui (Sawamura and reliever).

Then came the fall competition.

As a seed school, Qingdao directly missed the first two rounds.Our lottery luck this time was also good. We didn't meet too strong opponents at the beginning, so we entered the quarterfinals without any surprises, and then we met Pharmacist.

Pharmacist's offense is indeed very strong. As a relay, I even faced their two rounds of fighting, but I still had a little bit of strength to survive without losing points.

Compared with offense, their defense seems to be less able to defend.Although we still didn't have a good line of play, it wasn't too difficult to win the game.

When the whistle sounded, a figure in the stands sighed softly, and looked at Pharmacist's bench with a trace of sadness...

The next opponent is Didong. Their pitcher's ability to control the ball is exquisite, but it's a pity that they haven't gotten along well with the catcher.Although Didong's defense was quite good, we still seized their gaps and won the game.

The next match is the match between Dao Shi and Shi Dasan, who also lost his trustworthy ace, but Shi Dasan's other combat strengths are mostly preserved compared to Dao Shi.As expected but also unexpected, Daoshi lost almost without any suspense.

In the finals on the second day, we were in a hard fight with the city's top three high schools, but Qingdao slowly pulled the game back a little bit with the help of a stable pitcher group, and finally we narrowly won by 1 point.

At this point, a stage of the competition is over, and we have won the tickets for Koshien again. Everyone has a relaxed and happy look...
