King's Green Road

Chapter 16 Part16 Training Camp Ending
At dusk, when the first army's player training was about to end, Director Kataoka called the first army's regular catcher Miyuki Kazuya, backup catcher Keisuke Miyauchi, and Chris who assisted in the training into the office. .

"What about the two first-year pitchers?"

Facing the three outstanding disciples he trusted the most, he also straight to the point and told them the purpose of calling them to the office.

Hearing Supervisor Kataoka's words, Miyuki also thought about it, and probably understood what the supervisor meant.

Keisuke Miyauchi was in a bit of a state of confusion. The reason for the summer training camp was that his physical and mental state had been devastated. He hadn't touched the two freshmen, even Sawamura, who was already pitching in the bullpen. .

Because Danba is the team's current trump card after all, and he doesn't want to find Miyuki Kazuya, and he doesn't want to lower his status to find Ono to catch him. It's the limit.

"Yes! Before Jiang Guxiao followed your instructions, due to his weak defensive knowledge and awareness, he did not arrange any pitching practice until his physical strength was exhausted. The defensive replacement practice has made great progress, and he was not allowed to pitch. It’s because I’ve been suffocating for the past few days.”

"Sawamura doesn't have much problem in cooperating with the players of the first army compared to Kogu Akatsuki. His defensive awareness is also sufficient, and he doesn't make any mistakes. He is not inferior to Tanba. The specific pitching situation needs to be asked. The catcher is gone, what is lacking is the actual combat situation."

As a member of the coaching training, Chris expressed his opinion first, and he also paid attention to the two first-year pitchers, but due to other things, what he learned was only the general situation.

Miyukiichi also took the initiative to find out, and he was able to say something about the situation, "Xiao Guxiao, this guy has probably exhausted his energy recently, and it will basically be no problem if he goes into the bullpen and throws the ball later."

"Sawamura said that the current power of the ball and the tail strength of the ball have not dropped too significantly. It is not much different from the state before the training camp. It should not have reached his limit. I think we can increase the amount of training for him."

Miyuki Kazuya is also a bit watching the fun at this time. This guy Sawamura has not been very active in pitching to find himself recently, and he is not big or small to himself. It is time to show the majesty of his senior.

Chris on the side shook his head helplessly when he heard Miyuki's words. Miyuki is already a senior, and he cares about Sawamura, a first-year junior, like a child who hasn't grown up.

Miyauchi Keisuke could only say nothing about this, after all, he really didn't know about it, if Ono Hiroshi was here, he probably at least knew about the situation of Sawamura whom he was in charge of arresting.

Director Kataoka didn't specifically point out Keisuke Miyauchi, but just nodded, "Well, how are Kawakami and Tanba doing?"

Tanba was one of the people who asked this time, and Keisuke Miyauchi was able to respond skillfully to Supervisor Kataoka's question this time.
"Dambo is in good form, throwing the ball with momentum and power."

"Kawakami's state is also good. As a relatively rare side shot, if such a distinctive pitching feature is used, it will be helpful for our summer competition."

Miyuki also added to the status of Kenshi Kawakami who was arrested the longest.

"There is still a long way to go, so don't train them too much." Supervisor Kataoka put forward his point in a timely manner.

"Yes!" All three responded quickly.

While answering, Miyuki also recalled the short conversation between Tanba-senpai and Miyauchi-senpai before. Why did he focus on this shot today, probably to hone a certain shot? ! !

"There is also about the two days of Saturday and Sunday at the end of the training camp. I will arrange Akatsuki Furutani and Sawamura to play the game on Saturday, and I will arrange Tanba and Kawakami to complete the two games on Sunday. The whole game."

"Winning or losing these three games is not the most important thing. I also want to see if the players have enough fighting spirit to fight in a very tired state."

Supervisor Kataoka also explained the significance of his arrangement.

Among the three practice games, Saturday's Osaka Kiryu, the quasi-winning team of Koshien, is undoubtedly the most meaningful practice game.

As for Sunday's three-school round-robin match against Daocheng Industrial and Xiubei High School, it doesn't mean that Daocheng Industrial in the same area is inferior to Osaka Kiryu in terms of reputation and strength, but after all, it is the opponent competing for the only ticket to Jiashien in the same district and county. , How could he be willing to expose more things before the summer competition.

After Supervisor Kataoka explained the matter, he let Chris and the others go out.

At the same time, the practice on the second day of the summer training camp on the court has also come to an end.

"That's all for today's training. If you run another [-] laps, today's practice will be over."

At this time, after running [-] laps, the freshman trio, Haruichi Kominato and Akatsuki Fuguya got off halfway, and Sawamura was three laps slower than the seniors, holding on to his body with some physical strength. After running left and right, he also stood by the side and kept panting for breath, but he didn't want to fall down.

Seeing such a situation, how could Xiaomina Chunshi and Jiang Guxiao want to be left behind? Gritting their teeth and supporting their extremely tired bodies, they wobbled forward, and they had to finish what they had to run when they walked.

What's more, Sawamura, who is also a first-year student, has finished running and has not reached the next level. How can they lose, especially Fugu Akatsuki maintains a strong sense of competition for this Sawamura in the same position. He will not lose to this guy's.

Then. . . . . .After running, it can be said that Xiaomina Harushi and Jiang Guxiao were completely scrapped. As seniors, the first army was also tired on the second day of this training camp. There was no way to carry it anymore. They could only drag one with each hand. Went to the bathroom.

Rong Chun walked behind, under the moonlight, looking at the two little friends who were being dragged away, there was a feeling of being led into the abyss by the evil forces, the seniors of the army one by one, I hope the seniors will not find out Own this strange thought, otherwise he felt that he would die miserably.

On the third day of the training camp, the training activities were the same, but under the arrangement of the coach, the training volume of Akatsuki Fugu and Haruichi Kominato was a little easier than the previous two days, but. . .Why is there a tendency for his training volume to increase a bit? !
"Sawamura, hurry up and defend!!"

"What are you doing, concentrate on the defense!!"

Jun Isashiki glanced at Eijun Sawamura, who was ordered to defend in the left field today. He kept missing catches, even the high fly balls. His distraction from time to time finally made him want to treat his junior better. I couldn't help but exploded.

"Yes?! I see, Isashiki-senpai." Sawamura was scared to death by such an angry roar.

After seeing a left field fly ball coming towards him, he catches it and throws it back to the plate to prevent the third baseman from returning to the plate.

"That's right! What kind of bad defense was that before, learn a little bit, don't think that shooting the ball well is enough, you know?"

Isashiki Jun was also relieved after seeing Eijun's mistake and corrected it.

"Yes, thank you senior for your guidance!" Eijun was very knowledgeable and bowed his head to the evil force, Jun Isashiki, to express that he was educated and avoided the education of senior love.

The catcher of this defensive practice is Miyuki Kazuya. Just after hearing Isashiki-senpai's loud words, he saw that guy in the outfield, Sawamura, twitch cleverly under Isashiki-senpai's words. The listless look just now was very brave.

Tsk tsk, what a poor little oppressed person, hahaha, it's so fun to watch.Very unscrupulously, he raised the ball cover to cover his mouth and snickered.

After two hours of defensive practice, Eijun originally thought that today's practice would be relatively easy, and was just about to show a relaxed smile.

"Sawamura-san, next you go to the batting area to be a two-round batting pitcher, and you are only allowed to fight the batter with the inside corner. Go over there."

The assistant coach at the side watched Eijun who came back from the outfield after defensive practice and notified the news calmly.

After Rongchun heard the news, he felt that the sky was already dark today, his heart was so tired, his whole body was aching and sore, he answered with a smile on the surface, but he was crying in his heart.

Why is life so hard, I have never worked so hard in my previous life.

"Hahaha, Sawamura, you have really worked hard. I really can't see that your physical strength is so much better than that of Furutani and Kominato's brother. You can also be a batting pitcher!"

When Miyuki passed by Sawamura, he also teased this hard-fated junior at the right time. After all, the reason for this was not arranged by himself. Hahaha, I am really happy to hear, "I will cheer for you."

"Thank you, seniors really encourage juniors!"

Eijun really couldn't help rolling his eyes and unscrupulous glasses for this guy who cared about himself on the surface, but actually just came to see the jokes.

"Hahaha, it should be, don't see outsiders." Miyuki Kazu also seemed to be unable to hear the gnashing of teeth in Eijun's words, and agreed very cheekily.

After Eijun has done a lot of defensive practice, he will be arranged by the assistant coach to be the pitcher who feeds the ball. Arrange some short-term effective training within the range he can bear.

Without knowing it, Miyuki Kazuya, the catcher, was very unconscionable. Even his master Chris didn't stand by him. Under good circumstances, this kind of oppression is also acquiesced.

Under this kind of training, the third day of training passed slowly in the gradual adaptation. . . .

The fourth day of training is another tiring day. . . . .

At this time in the bullpen, there are only two pairs of shooting partners who are practicing pitching. Sawamura was exiled back to the field for a lot of physical training. Akatsuki and Akira Furutani formed a pair of brothers and sisters, Kenshi Kawakami and Kazuya Miyuki, Keisuke and Tanba Koichiro.

"OK, strike!"

After receiving the shot from Kawakami, he also boasted in passing.

"I can actually hear your praise, but I feel a little uneasy. You don't have any conspiracy, do you?"

Kenshi Kawakami was a little flattered when he heard Miyuki's praise. Miyuki's venomous tongue as a fellow in the same grade is really at the level of ghosts, especially for pitchers.

"Ah Xian, you are slandering me, but I really sincerely praise you. The trajectory of your pitch just now is a path that will make it difficult for hitters to shoot!"

While talking, he passed the ball back to Kawakami's hand, "As a side shooter, as long as you make good use of the area of ​​the ball belt, you have superb ball control, and you have to have more confidence in yourself."

Kawakami blushed under Miyuki Kazuya's blunt praise, and was very happy to be praised like this.

Tanba next to him threw a powerful curveball with full momentum, and the ball got into Keisuke Miyauchi's ball sleeve, and there was a very powerful sound.

"Tanba-senpai threw the ball very powerfully today!"

"It's okay, he was a little tired just now, but I can feel that he is full of vigor in every shot."

Miyauchi Keisuke glanced at Miyuki Kazuya next to him, and exhaled a puff of breath, "We have no way out, and I will also grab the starting position from your hand."

Miyuki also smiled confidently when he heard this, and was not afraid of the challenge declaration from his senior at all.

If you want to grab it, go ahead, I won't lose the starting position to your Miyauchi senior, I look forward to the senior's performance.

At the same time, Eijun and Jiang Guxiao, who dragged their exhausted bodies on the field for defensive practice, looked at the direction of the bullpen with resentment from time to time, really wanting to throw the ball.

"Hey, don't peek elsewhere! Focus on me."

The senior at the strike zone of the court was very angry that the two juniors were distracted during the defensive training, and hit the ball out very angrily.

Eijun quickly regained his senses and ran to catch the ball. The catcher from home plate, Hiroshi Ono, also hurriedly told Eijun to pass the ball to the second base quickly, before he had time to stop the runner from entering the second base.

Eijun dragged his exhausted body and ran on the court. It was really better to throw the ball. Why did he come back to defend again? It's so tiring.

After receiving the ball, he turned around and passed the ball beautifully. After being caught by the second baseman, he quickly tagged the runner who ran over.

Naturally, there are perfect defensive moves, not sloppy at all.

"The defense is beautiful and well done."

"It's okay for Sawamura to be serious."

The players on the sidelines also cheered for Rongchun when they saw Rongchun's beautiful defense.

The second baseman who received the ball was also secretly surprised by the ball being passed into his own sleeve. In such a running pass, with the fatigue of training, the ball was still spinning when it was passed into his own sleeve. With full tail strength, it is really easy to miss this kind of ball if you are not careful.

Chris, Rei Takashima, and Supervisor Kataoka on the bench are also very satisfied to see Eijun's defense like this. It seems that Sawamura has finally realized that the body's reaction is faster than the brain's rotation.

Jiang Guxiao who was sweating profusely at the side saw Eijun's praised appearance and beautiful defense, and ignited the momentum of not admitting defeat.Well, you can't lose to him.

When he saw the ball flying towards him, he stretched out the ball cover to catch the perfect pass, and there was a moment of silence on the field. Eijun also saw the horrible defense of his little friend, so he couldn't help but look at it. Fortunately, I did it all over again, otherwise he would also be one of the funny ones.

Unknowingly, today's training has come to an end. After running, Eijun is finally honored to lie down with Fuguya Akatsuki and Kominato Haruichi today, panting on the ground gruff.

The seniors were also bending over and gasping for breath at this time, feeling that they were reaching their limit, but they were still very concerned about the three first-years who were juniors, so they asked someone to carry the three of them back.

At this time, Danbo was also sitting on a chair in the rest area panting heavily after a day of training, very exhausted.

With the sound of footsteps, Miyuki also appeared in Tanba's field of vision.Sitting down next to him.

"The ball that Tanba-senpai has been secretly practicing lately is the fork ball, right? Your height and the fork ball seem to be a good weapon. I think it's very good."

"But... No matter how powerful the change ball you have learned, senior, the combination of straight balls can show the power of the change ball. Please don't forget this, senior!"

Miyuki Kazuya, as a junior, was very blunt and pointed at Tanba's pitching point, his words were sharp.

Danba was very upset when he heard Kazuya Miyuki's words. This guy actually said such words to his seniors. Forget it, he is a bold guy, especially after Chris was injured and was promoted to the starting catcher in the first grade. He is really not good at dealing with this guy.

After some internal battles, Danbo suddenly stood up, "You can judge my pitch as you like, but... I only believe in my own pitch!" After speaking, he turned and left.

Miyuki also looked at Tanba-senpai's back and smiled slightly. Sure enough, after the pitcher occupied the mound, he didn't want to let it out. They are all a group of self-centered guys...

It doesn't seem to be the case, and Sawamura's weirdness, the pitcher's possessiveness for the pitcher's mound and the desire to win the game are not reflected at all.It seems that we have to find a way, which is not conducive to the training of pitchers.Hahaha, but the fun part of being a catcher is being able to guide different types of pitchers!

"Hey, Furuya, why are you here with Miyuki?!" Eijun told him to go to him after washing up at night because Miyuki during the day, and said that he needed to help with something, although he was a little speechless about Miyuki's bad personality, But how could he refuse to help the hypocritical little angel.

"Are you also here to catch Miyuki-senpai?!" Furutani couldn't help turning on the 'gas stove' after speaking, and looked at Eijun unwillingly.

"Huh?!" Rong Chun always felt that this scene was a little familiar, and he had a bad feeling.

"I'm in!"

After Eijun bit the bullet and opened the door and went in, he saw that the seniors of the Keyijun were all in Miyuki Kazuya's dormitory. The memories of the past suddenly flooded up, and he knew that the unscrupulous glasses were uneasy and kind, and he was mad at him and wasted. A sincere desire to help.

"Oh, here we come, come in quickly." Miyuki also saw the victim he had called, and stepped forward enthusiastically.

"I believe you must still have extra energy, so come and help me take care of this group of people. They come to my room to gather every day, and I am also very troubled."

"Oh, come and give me a massage from the first grade!" Isashiki still had a fierce expression on his face with a mustache.

"Sawamura...I want to drink juice!" Kuramochi, who was busy playing video games, also hurriedly interjected.

"Miyuki, hurry up and play chess." Captain Yuki Tetsu also hurriedly summoned when he lost his opponent.

"You guys know how to play chess, right? As juniors, you still need to do something to help. It just so happens that you can also learn about the guy who helps you defend yourself. What kind of guy is he? It's not bad, right!?"

What Yu Xing said was also very sloppy, and the truth that he was full of was actually just asking his junior to take the blame for himself.

Then it slipped away very naturally.

After Miyuki Kazuya's words, Jiang Guxiao went up to help pinch his shoulders and beat his legs in a frenzy.

Rong Chun only felt a mouthful of old blood in his heart, and the unscrupulous glasses really pissed him off.I was tricked by him again, and next time he tricked me, he won't be called Eijun Sawamura, ah one by one.

"Sawamura hasn't come yet."

"Yes, Yuki-senpai!" Eijun obediently resigned to his fate, sat down opposite Yuki Tetsuya with his hairy head drooping, and began to play shogi.

………………

Tonight was spent in the beautiful interaction between the seniors and the juniors......
