Chapter 32: Attack on the Demon Brother (Part 1)
"Second stick, Tojo!"
One person is out, no one is on base.
In the junior high school era, the famous star player did not take advantage of the slightest advantage in the process of fighting Kawakami, the pitcher of the Qingdao First Army, but suffered a lot of losses.
The whole process of Takatsu's attack is basically a process of being abused.
In the rest area of the new students, there were a lot of noisy sounds. Although they were all elites selected from the more than 40 freshman players, they were still a little at a loss in the face of pitchers like Kawakami.
deliberately came to watch the game, and those players who were idle and had nothing to do watched it with relish.
"These guys watched Kawakami pitch from the stands, and probably thought that Kawakami's ball speed was just like that, and pitching shouldn't be a big deal. But these guys really have this mentality to fight Kawakami, and I'm really a little worried, will they be able to hold out until the end of the game? ”
The reason why Kawakami was embarrassed to pitch in the morning game was certainly related to his poor performance.
But the main reason is obviously not this.
In the morning game, Kawakami will drop six points in a row, mainly because their opponent happens to be the attacking Mitsu of the city.
The star player in middle school, for the main player of the Seido High School baseball team, is the level of miscellaneous fish.
If the freshmen can't realize the huge difference in strength between them, then in today's game, they may be hanging in the balance......
"Watching the orientation game now, do you have a feeling of nostalgia?"
Miyuki asked Kuramochi beside him with a smile.
At last year's orientation competition, although he made the biggest noise with Zhang Han, Kuramochi was not idle.
Kuramochi's visit to the base also left a very deep impression on people. At the very least, it left a very deep impression on Superintendent Kataoka.
So much so that after the third-year seniors retired, Kuramochi was promoted to the first army almost at the speed of a rocket.
But Kuramochi himself didn't feel that way.
In fact, apart from that stolen base, there was really nothing to praise about his performance on the field.
So much so that this incident has become a psychological stain on Kurachi, and he is not willing to think about it.
"Except for the two of you, we were beaten badly!"
Kuramochi said angrily.
"Beginning to sympathize with our dear junior brother?"
"How is that possible? Now from the standpoint of a senior, I want to stand on the court and teach them a devastating lesson......"
"You're really bad enough."
"You don't have any qualifications to talk about me, if you want to say that you have a bad personality, who can compare to you?"
"I don't know when Zhang Han will play? I'm looking forward to it. ”
"Is it uncomfortable to see that Zhang Han is about to partner with Senior Chris?"
Kuramochi asked with a gossipy face.
Zhang Han, who awakened the lightspeed ball, is basically regarded as the next trump card of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
At this time, the friends didn't know that Zhang Han couldn't shoot too many balls in one game.
So they firmly believe that maybe in the summer, the man wearing the No. 1 uniform of the Qingdao High School baseball team is Zhang Han.
As Zhang Han's partner, looking at Zhang Han's combination with his competitors, is it strange that Yu Xing can feel comfortable?
At the mention of Chris, the expression on Miyuki's face really changed.
He looked thoughtfully at the rest area of the old team, watching Chris analyze what his peers around him were doing.
Senior Chris, since the injury healed, has been practicing with the team. The blank for most of the year, on this person's body, almost left any mark.
If it weren't for the fact that the team had matured and everyone was used to cooperating with Miyuki, the main catcher candidate for the current Qingdao High School baseball team would probably have to be replaced.
This time, the superintendent deliberately let the senior in the palace and senior Chris participate in the orientation competition.
It is estimated that I also want to re-evaluate the strength of the two seniors through this game. If their quality is reliable enough, the performance is good enough.
The Kanto tournament may be a little earlier, and by the time the summer tournament comes, a new round of battle for the back number will inevitably be set off.
"Ping!"
Just when Miyuki's face showed a smile, the duel on the field came to an end.
After Tojo swung his first swing, he hit the ball with his second swing and hit the ball into the court.
Although the baseball rolled down in front of the third baseman, it was stopped by Masuko and passed to first base.
However, Tojo's performance in hitting the ball still greatly boosted the morale of the new students.
Even Coach Ochiai, who had a serious face, nodded with satisfaction.
is worthy of being a wealthy Qingdao, and this enrollment has really recruited a lot of good seedlings. Take Tojo in front of him, for example, he has already reached a certain level of pitching, but the most important thing is his sharpness and intuition in his strikes.
Whether it's the sense of smell, swinging the stick or a little trick, Tojo Hideaki doesn't have much of a feeling of greenness on his body.
He is like a jade that has been polished, dazzling.
"Is it also from Matsukata Youth?"
Ochiai remembered that when he was in the spring competition, he made a huge sensation and made a big splash in the Matsukata Junior League. Tojo's performance in front of him doesn't seem to be so incredible.
After all, he is Zhang Han, Xingtian's teammate.
And he is also an important member of Matsukata's golden generation.
"It may be a bit of a waste to put this teenager in the second base, but in fact, he has hope to play the core line."
Kawakami, who won two games in a row, showed a very good form.
Although the freshmen started hitting the ball because of Tojo, there were a little signs of morale rising.
But that didn't affect Kawakami's form and performance either.
After all, Kawakami is not the kind of pitcher who relies on winning strikeouts to solve the opponent.
He was meant to be a pitcher who let the hitter hit the ball out and relied on the guard to get outs.
This is also known as a percussion pitcher.
This kind of pitcher, if he forcibly pursues strikeouts, will mess up his pitching rhythm.
Successfully tricked Tojo and let Tojo hit the ball, which was originally designed by Kawakami.
Two outs, no one on base.
At this time, a thin teenager with a height of just over 1.6 meters stood in the strike zone.
Those old alumni who came to watch the Qingdao training were obviously a little dumbfounded when they saw the teenagers.
Are they mistaken?
Why is it that standing in the core line position is not Tojo, who performed well before, but a teenager who is not tall and not strong.
"Who arranged it, it's too messy, isn't it?"
"What does it mean to let such a little guy serve as the core line?"
"Look at the bat in his hand, it must be wooden, right?"
"Do you use a wooden stick?"
The fans were talking.
The first-army players who came to watch the game also frowned.
They usually don't pay much attention to the performance of the first-year players, but looking at the size of the teenager in front of them, it is really hard for them to imagine what outstanding performance he can have.
"Don't you think, doesn't this boy look familiar?"
Jun Izaki frowned and looked at Kominato Harushi for a moment, then turned back and glanced at Kominato Ryosuke again.
Although Ryosuke Kominato looks a little stronger, his eyes are a little smaller, and his height is a little shorter.
But on the whole, the two are quite similar. The most important thing is that both of them have the surname Xiaominato.
It may be a coincidence to look alike, and it can be a coincidence to have a surname. looks alike, the surname is the same, the probability of this kind of coincidence is too low.
I can't help but think about it too much, should these two be?
"That's my brother!"
"Brother, I really envy your brother's feelings to be able to play with my brother. Is he also a second baseman, though? ”
There is nothing surprising about the two brothers playing baseball together, but the two brothers playing the same position is a bit of a stretch.
This means that even if two people can be on the same team, they can both perform equally well.
They also only have one man who can play.
"Whoever doesn't have an unconscious brother, he likes to run after my back, and I can't help it."
Although he was complaining, he could still hear two points of spoiling from Ryosuke Minato's tone.
"It's a kind of luck to be in the same team with my brother, and I don't have to force the position."
For the captain's comfort, Ryosuke Kominato didn't appreciate it at all.
"Then he must also enter the first army!"
