Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 161

Gao Zhiye slept until the next morning. After washing, he walked slowly to the playground. If he didn't exercise for a day, he felt that his bones were going to be loose. In fact, everyone who practices sports is a masochist, so he muttered, From a distance, he saw a group of people surrounded by the stadium, three floors inside and three floors outside. He turned his footsteps and went directly to the indoor training ground.

"Hey, isn't this the 'Sleeping Beauty' of Seidou? Why don't you go to sleep and wake up so early." Senior Isashiki's voice was still extra harsh.

Gao Zhiye was in a cold sweat, and greeted his seniors: "Why are all the seniors here?"

"There are too many people on the main court. Originally, today is the resumption of training. Let them go."

"They? Are there those two idiots?" Takano was referring to the pushy Eijun, and Eijun's follower, Jiang Gu.

"Who else but them?"

. . . .

After the break, the most important thing is to decide the candidates for Koshien. Because the regional preliminaries are 20 people, and the Koshien bench has only 18 positions, so 2 people will be eliminated from the main draft team.

"Number 1, Danbo"

. . .

"Number 7, Sakai"

. . .

"Number 10, Kawakami"

"Number 11, Takano"

"Number 12, Miyauchi"

After reading the list, some people have already started to swallow their saliva.

"Number 13, Kadota"

"Number 14, Phoebe"

"Number 15, Tanaka"

"Number 16, Falling Valley"

"Number 17... Kominato Spring City" center field substitute Endo's shoulders loosened. If this number is still in the first grade, it means that the coach has already begun to consider cultivating the strength of the next class, so After that there will be no third year slots.

"No. 18, Eijun Sawamura, the above is the list for Koshien." Director Kataoka chose to give up the two outfield substitutes, and brought all the promising freshmen.

'Four first graders and four second graders, this kind of team is really magical. 'Because I'm finally going to Koshien, Takano has been making up previous videos for the past few days, usually a third grade in Yishui, occasionally a second grade interspersed, Qingdao is good, third grade and first and second grade are almost the same Half open, those who didn't know thought it was specially for training students.

"At 8 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, we will leave for Hyogo Prefecture to draw lots for the previous games. Starting today, we will use the 18-man lineup of Koshien for intensive training."

The day after tomorrow will be the draw for the first 2 or 3 games. After the quarterfinals are determined, there will be another draw to determine the opponents for the next 3 games.

Takano looked at the No. 11 back number in his hand, and he could almost guess the meaning of Supervisor Kataoka. After entering Koshien, they were basically county bullies and old-fashioned strong schools. It is a good level of pitching. Unless there are special strengths, other times it is necessary to fight for weaknesses, such as defense or pitching. Therefore, putting the full-time left field back is also conducive to the rigor of the overall defense.

For the next two days, Gao Zhiye focused on training the pitchers on defense. At the end of the game, when everyone was exhausted, only those who had undergone a lot of training could keep their movements in shape.

"Nice, Sawamura." Eijun came down from the mound and immediately passed the baseball to the first baseman. There was no lag in the middle. After so many days of training, he can now finally engrave this set of things in his subconscious up.

"Qing Gu, pay attention to the ball when filling the position, and don't always pay attention to the base bag!" But the two first-year students still need to practice in this area. Their game experience is still relatively small, and there will always be moves that make the seniors dissatisfied. , at this time, the senior would point to Takano's perfect pitching, "Look at how that guy did it."

At 8:5 in the morning on August 6th, the summer mornings are always bright early, but fortunately, the dew last night has not yet dried out, so it is not so hot. The first graders who finished their morning run came to the cafeteria to have breakfast .

"Hey, first grade, the competition after that is very exhausting, eat more, here are these things for you to eat." The seniors of the Second Army came to 'take care', leaving the first grade and others to look at the bowls of dishes that have fallen from the top and look at each other in blank dismay.

After a while, seniors from the First Army also came over for dinner.

"Eh? What's the matter, do you have a bad appetite? Why do you eat this?" Kuang Kuang brought another pile, and Gao Zhiye quickly poured the food into the bowl of Senior Masuko.

After breakfast, I packed all my luggage and set off towards Koshien. The gate of the school was very crowded, and it was crowded by people who came to watch. It took only 10 minutes to complete the short distance.

Along the street, some shops or residents put up banners celebrating Koshien’s competition. Takano watched all the way, and gradually realized how powerful Koshien has penetrated the spirit of this country, and his mood became like a primary school student who is about to go hiking. Looking forward to the same.

At 8:6 am on August 9, the lottery ceremony officially began. A sign was erected in the aisle of the auditorium with the names of each school and the region it represented. Players from each school sat in their own two rows of seats. Captain Then sit on the stage and wait for a while to draw lots in order.

Gao Zhiye glanced over and saw all kinds of monk heads. Without the baseball cap, everyone's original appearance was revealed, "Wow, that person's head is so pointed, like an egg." . '

But what surprised him even more was the number of players. It was rare for players from 49 schools in Japan to put on uniforms and gather here. Even the team leader on the stage was a huge crowd.

There are very few schools that made their debut this year, and most of them are established strong schools. After the previous wave of competitions is over, the quarterfinals will start with fights of gods, so now the outside world is concerned about the single-elimination system of Xia Jiashien It is very doubtful, and it is also not conducive to the development of baseball in Japan. Although baseball is still a national sport, the number of schools applying for Koshien has begun to drop sharply. In some schools, football has replaced baseball as the focus of funding. occur.

Aomichi, as the representative of West Tokyo, was drawn in front of the lottery. Captain Yuki stepped forward to draw out the card, walked to the microphone, and showed the number.

"Qingdao High School, 9B."

In this way, the first game in Qingdao is determined to be held on the third day of the game, that is, August 8th. Five days after the end of the first game, the second game will be played, and three days after the end of the second game, It is the game that decides whether to enter the quarter-finals. It can be seen that the fewer teams there are, the more intensive the schedule will be.

"We won't meet Xibang or Osaka Kiryu until the third game, Yuuki, you have drawn a good lottery."

Everyone felt that Yuuki's lottery was good. In the first match, the school was against Kazushin, not from a school in the fierce battle zone, which just allowed everyone to recover the feeling of the next game.

"In the first game, Tanba, you lead the team! The rest of the pitchers should also warm up well. During the game, pitchers will be dispatched according to the situation. Afterwards, we will also deal with the entire Koshien game in the form of wheel battles. , everyone must make adequate preparations.” Director Kataoka announced this decision that afternoon, their first game will be four days later, and staying in a hotel for four days will make the players’ condition decline significantly, so In a nearby elementary school, I rented a small baseball field through my relationship.

Of course, there are also various voices interspersed in the middle. The baseball teenagers finally have to face the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be in the limelight. From time to time, they have to open the newspaper to check the situation of other schools, and find out if there are any reports related to their own school.

"Why are we divided into 4A schools?" So Qingdao is a revival of a famous family.

"Ah~ah~ why did you introduce our school and only show pitchers?"

"That school actually had a round trip, well, there's no way, who let the two strong players be divided into the first round."

And the time was in the middle of the practice and the noise, and it quickly came to August 8th. After many years, Qingdao's first game in Jiashien was finally about to start.

　1. I watched the Hagar match between Donghai Great Juggernaut and Osaka Tongyin today, and found that it was really easy for them to score E. The third baseman accidentally exploded the pass, and the block or single that could have been caught would be turned into a double, and the mistake, both teams
　　2. The shooting of the Great Sword Master of the East China Sea and the second and third sticks of Osaka Tongyin are both U15 representatives of the same session?When I checked the information before, I only noticed Ikeda. I didn’t know what to say. My mind was full of debates about who was ahead of “talent” and “hard work.”

　　3. The team arrangement of Qingdao is very unreasonable, but compared to other seniors who didn't even show their faces in the feature film, it's better to leave Koshien to the first grade
