Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 108 Battle against Bailong High School II

"Tanba, you are really reliable today."

"Aha, Tanba-senpai, just keep it like this." The second tour followed behind the pitcher, like a regular rant.

"Whispering." Tanba retorted. After recovering from his injury, today's game should be his highest quality game. He looked up at the entrance of the bench in front, "Will Director Kataoka let me finish the shot?" '

At the entrance, Kataoka's expression was hidden behind the sunglasses. Over the past year, the players in the team have been injured a lot. He is also reflecting on whether he should make some changes, so——

"Danbo!"

Kataoka's shout interrupted the joyous surroundings, and everyone waited for the next sentence.

"You've done a good job, you look like an ace, but the most important thing this year is the summer trials. Maintain this state and avoid injuries. Kawakami will finish the last two rounds!"

"Hi—"*2
Kataoka's firm words made Tanba dispel the urge to speak out. Now there are so many pitchers in the team. . .

"Kawakami..."

"Kawakami!"

"Senior Kawakami."

In the past few games, Tanba, Takano, and Furutani have all appeared in turn. Only Kawakami has not played. He originally thought that his side shot was useful to the team, but after such a long period of time After the cold bench of time, it is not so sure again.

'Be sure to behave well this time! Kawakami clenched his hands into fists.

"Kawakami, let's go warm up." As a backup catcher, Miyauchi-senpai may have been on the bench longer than the pitcher Kawakami, but he will still take the initiative to do what he thinks is his duty.

"The pitchers on Qingdao have started warming up again, are they going to be replaced in the next inning?"

"Why isn't it the first grader?" The spectators, who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, naturally like games with a lot of movement, or it's a home run cannon, or it's a fast pitcher.

"Which first grade are you talking about? Qingdao has two monster first graders this year."

"Haha, either one will do. I must come and see this year's Hagar preliminaries."

"Me too, finally came up with something different."

"Three outs!" Qingdao scored a run in the second half of the seventh inning, extending the game's advantage to 3 points. After the eighth inning began, the pitcher was replaced by Kawakami. He was good at stuffing baseballs into various corners In the corner, it made the Bailong hitter who still had Tanba's curve ball in his mind very uncomfortable.

"This year's Qingdao is really taken care of by God, so many different types of pitchers are in the same team at the same time. 'Supervisor Sasaki can't criticize his players, he can only say that the opponent is too terrible this year.

"Keep in mind the characteristics of Seido's pitchers. This year's Koshien, we are very likely to meet them again."

"Hi——" Everyone in Bailong knew that this game was over, and they all remembered the pitching images of those pitchers in their minds.

"The game is over!" The sound of the air defense siren sounded in the field, and the two teams of teenagers lined up.

"よろ.します!"

Gao Zhiye was stared at by many people on the opposite side, and of course Jiang Gu.

'What did I do? Why are several people looking at me at the same time? . . Takano, who had been targeted, hurried back to the bench as soon as he finished saluting.

"Aha, what's the matter, Gao Jun, you run so fast."

"Probably because I was frightened by the momentum on the other side." The second swimmer jointly complained.

'It's really hard to be their junior, and I can become a senior sometime. '

Supervisor Kataoka is also thinking about it. Just looking at today's game, Takano's starting left field is no problem at all. The only difference is his running speed, defensive awareness, passing accuracy, and hit reliability. The most likely thing is to cooperate with the team members, but there is still a month before the summer preliminaries, and there is no time for any practice. A bold idea was born in Kataoka's heart.

There are 20 players in the summer preliminaries roster, each number is very important, except that the infield needs to prepare a substitute team, the outfield can actually use pitchers directly, which can not only exercise arm strength, but also save numbers, so that more players with hitting ability Entering the alternate sequence, of course, the only thing you need to pay attention to is that you can't get injured.

Gao Zhiye probably didn't expect that in the first year of high school, he could carry a single number on his back, even though it was number 7.

At this moment, he was still thinking in his heart that the next stage was the final. He wondered if he would be allowed to appear on the stage, and Mr. Jiang Gu looked at him again.

"Hey, what do you want to ask?"

"...The end——" Jiang Gu had just started talking, when he saw Gao Zhiye suddenly fell asleep, "Eh? Gao Jun..."

What is that sentence called, go the way of others, let others have no way to go, Gao Zhiye, who was pretending to sleep, suddenly felt that this trick was very useful, no wonder he liked to use it so much before Jiang Gu.

Of course, the answer to this question was revealed immediately after Kataoka got on the bus.

"In the last game, Kawakami started, Fuguya was ready, and Takano was still in left field."

"Hi!"*3
Kawakami only felt as if there were little angels around him constantly, and they kept chanting 'first move, first move, first move'. 'So, in today's game, did the supervisor approve of my performance?

No, he probably didn't want to reveal too much important information about the pitching line.Miyuki seemed to have heard Kawakami's voice, and answered silently. Director Kataoka had already started to make plans for Hagar.

Since the final was the next day, the players who had been preparing for the competition for several days were obviously exhausted, so they rested again in the afternoon, and Takano went back to sleep.

In the training room, senior Isashiki saw that Takano was not there, so he asked Kusunoki, and after getting the answer that the man was sleeping, he said speechlessly: "I still want to explain to him the skills of defending the outfield, this guy, why? Every time I go straight back to sleep."

"Yah, I have this question too. I asked him before. Guess what he said?"

"Don't give a shit."

"Haha, he said he had to shut down and restart it to get back to normal."

Captain Cheng heard the explanation of this rest method: "Well, it sounds quite reasonable."

"Well, a first-year student is a first-year student, and it will be very tiring to think about it. Give him some time to adapt." Miyuki smoothed things over, and Isashiki-senpai had no choice but to give up and put the time for explaining skills in the evening.

Gao Zhiye, who had no one to tell him the news, was studying the layout with two first graders as usual at night.

At this time, Isashiki-senpai suddenly opened the door and came in, "Why are you three first graders here, what are you doing, learning the layout? This should be taught by the catcher, right? Miyuki, did you miss your duty?"

Just like that, he dragged the first grade to Miyuki's dormitory: "Miyuki, the responsibility of teaching the first grade pitcher should be yours, don't pass it on to others!"

"what?"

"Then these two first graders will be placed with you first, and Gao Zhiye will be taken away by me."

After speaking, he went straight to the indoor training ground.

"This summer, you will probably be the main pick for left fielder, so the supervisor asked me to take you to practice as soon as possible."

"So it's confirmed?"

"Probably..." Sakai, the original starter in left field, can only retire as a backup, and senior Kadada, who is the first base instructor, is also a backup left fielder. When A was born, one of the two of them would probably be picked out. Isashiki couldn't bear to tell the first grade about such a cruel reality, but seeing Takano's expression, he also understood it.

'It's cruel. '

"First grade, don't show that expression. The qualification for the main election was won by yourself. Hurry up and listen to me!"

"Ok."

Because there is no clear dividing line in the outfield area, the three players who are active in the outfield must be very clear about the opponent's defensive range to prevent collisions.

"Then let's rehearse—"

　On the last day of New Year's Day, I really don't want to do anything

　　After watching No. 13 Minke Street for five hours, I feel that it is well written
