Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 682 Anxiety

After advancing to the semi-finals, Seido's opponent was Gaoming High School who had a bye in the first round and defeated Yamamori Gakuin High School in the first game.

On the other side, Jumo University meets the challenge of Shono High School in Japan.

In this game, Sawamura started, and Qingdao and Baoming started an offensive and defensive battle from the first game.

Facing this famous Kyushu clan, Miyuki's shortcomings began to show.

Although Sawamura's combination of weird balls and several slow and straight balls suppressed the opponent's line.

But in the second round, Ono-senpai's monotonous and conservative weakness began to be exposed.

So in the fourth inning, under the attack of Homei's top line, Ono's ball was caught, and he scored a timely hit, causing Seido to lose the first point of the game.

Danger began to arise after that. Due to the continuous explosion of the team's line play, Qingdao scored one point from the second game.

With the support of the defense, Qingdao managed to maintain a tie and played until the fourth game.

After all, many of Sawamura's shots are not so easy to hit even if they are figured out and matched, and Baoming's line play is not that strong.

Qingdao's line also scored its second point in the fifth game. The first-year players suddenly disappeared collectively at Jingu Stadium, but the second-year seniors were active.

Then at the end of the sixth inning, the game ended with the ace being sent to the mound by Coach Kataoka.

This is not because Sawamura is untrustworthy, but because there is no way to replace Ono.

Moreover, Sawamura has made a lot of shots due to Ono-senpai's coordination, so it's not surprising that he loses points at any time.

When Chianggu got on the board in the seventh inning, there were still some problems with his condition, resulting in one out, second and third base.

Subsequently, Baoming successfully scored with a safety touch to tie the score.

At this time, what is supposed to come has come...

Furitani suddenly threw an extremely powerful and fast crossbow, which completely went behind him.

The third base runner took the opportunity to run back to home plate to reverse the situation. The young senior's mentality was shaken and the batter also ran to second base.

Even if he called a defensive timeout, he couldn't completely calm down his mentality. Ono-senpai's mentality also affected Fukitani.

Ono-senpai, who had no way to get Fukiya to throw a changeup ball, ended up hitting a straight ball.

Although Qingdao launched an unprecedented onslaught in the next two innings, the first-year batting line, which had remained silent before, also bottomed out and contributed a lot of hits.

But the score remained until the end, and 4-2 was the final score of the game.

At the same time, it also ended all competitions for Qingdao High School this year.

Until the ban on foreign competitions is lifted in March next year, a more intense offseason than usual begins.

The players in the stands can finally participate in training as baseball players instead of being ball boys.

Perhaps the most difficult person to let go of in this game is Ono-senpai.

In his opinion, the four points lost were basically all related to him, and the team was in danger, and he couldn't escape it.

Although no one blamed him, his unwillingness was buried deep in his heart.

The only ones who will feel unwilling to do so are probably the two-shot duo with a strong sense of responsibility.

Sawamura believed that he was responsible for being struck out and losing runs, while Furitani felt that his shaky start allowed two runners to get on base.

Similarly, Kuramochi-senpai was the best performer in this tournament. Not only did he hit all the bases in the first game, but his subsequent at-bats were also frighteningly high.

However, Onisan felt that he was still a little naive in some places.

On the other hand, in today's second game, Jumbo launched a bloodbath against Japanese Shono.

8:0, this is the result of this game.

And in the entire Meiji Jingu Baseball Tournament, Hongo Masamune didn't even get a single hit.

It is also this game that almost all baseball fans across the country are looking forward to in the Spring Koshien Tournament between Aomichi High School and Jumo Daifujimaki.

In other words, the fight between Seido and Hongo Masamune.

In Xia Tian, ​​Hongo was suppressed and beaten, and Hongo Masamune, who wanted revenge, showed a good state in the Shrine Conference.

For a pitcher of Hongo's level, even a small change will lead to a qualitative change.

However, it is very regrettable for the game itself, for the baseball fans from all over the country who came here to watch it, and for the baseball fans who watched it in front of the TV.

Although the Shrine Tournament was originally a national competition, only teams from ten regions participated.

In addition, all the teams have just been formed, only a few months ago, and the level is not comparable to that of Spring and Summer Koshien, so the attention is not very high.

Not to mention, even Koshien in the spring didn’t receive much attention because the team was not reaching its peak!

But thanks to summer, Hokkaido’s representative Jumo Daifujimaki rises.

In the summer, the championship and runner-up of Koshien appeared at the same time, and the complicated grievances and hatreds in it excited all the viewers and attracted attention.

The gossip in it alone is enough for them to eat.

However, the two pillars of Qingdao were absent, and Qingdao did not reach the end, so this huge attention did not get any reward.

Xia Tian's victory or defeat, the grievances between Sendao and Hongo, everything can only wait until the spring Koshien in March next year.

But one thing is for sure, a long offseason.

And the amount of practice during the offseason far exceeds the usual, which will also make the next match between the two sides more exciting...probably!

When Qingdao started training, the finals of the Shrine Tournament also came to an end the next day.

Hongo Masamune did not play at all today, and the final score between the two sides was only four to one.

If Hongo had pitched from the beginning to the end, the point difference would not have been this small.

Hongo Masamune, who was eager to vent his anger, was in excellent condition.

Just like Narimiya Naru in the summer, such a devil-like pitcher will put tremendous pressure on the opponent.

It can even cause problems in the opponent's offense and defense at the same time, and it can also cause your own side's line status to explode.

However, the person in charge of Jumo Daifujimaki is coach Nitta. Facing an opponent like Baomei, they have no need to let Hongo board the board.

At the same time, letting Hongo play will not be good for his growth.

If the point difference was small, Hongo might be allowed to play to finish the game, but Baoming's failure also cost him the chance to play.

Qingdao High School, which is entering the offseason, has to continue classes, and the school is about to enter the final examination stage.

The training time is not long, but the amount is large.

And in order to improve one's comprehensive ability, the basics of exercise are the basics.

The practice of short hitting, base running, and even the most basic footwork is boring and repetitive, and the intensity is extremely high.

Similarly, everyone knows that this kind of basic training will slowly allow them to make qualitative changes next year as they gradually return to actual practice and practice games.

Under the dual pressure of study and training, the players' lives are not easy.

Of course, except for the two injured numbers, especially Xiandao.

There is basically no need to listen to this science subject, and the liberal arts department has the help of the boss Fumino.

Fumino didn't need any notes, just some simple records were enough, so all her notes were in Sendao's hands.

Miyuki only needs to deal with studying and focus on cooperating with Kudo and others' recovery massages.

But Qingdao's double throw would be terrible...

On the weekend after the Jingu Competition, Rei-chan took Miyuki and Sendō for a check-up. Miyuki was "released after serving his sentence" and was allowed to participate in some simple sports, such as jogging.

The results of Xiandao's examination were also gratifying. His response was much faster than expected, and he would be able to participate in simple training in another week.

Similarly, Xiandao can also participate in sports that do not require hands such as jogging without worrying about collisions.

Rei-chan was very happy to hear the result. Both of them were able to make it to the winter training...

The two injured people would definitely not be happy if they were mentioned about winter training.

……

"Now is the non-inflammatory period. Although you can move your body now, you have to remember that you have no discomfort at all. Don't force yourself... Muscle strain will not recur as long as it is treated properly. So this It's better not to force yourself.

I have experience in this aspect of immortality!

Xiandao, you just need to be careful not to touch it with your hands! "Senior Kudo warned the two of them after knowing the test results.

"Although I understand that you must be very anxious if you are not allowed to participate in training for these three weeks!

But still have to be patient! "Senior Watanabe also spoke to Miyuki.

No one mentioned Immortal Dao, because even Miyuki knew that Immortal Dao had been trying to calm his anxious mood.

There is no need for them to say anything. Talking randomly at this time will only be of no help.

Miyuki could only nod silently to the two people's warnings.

The next day, there were two more jogging figures on the baseball field, and there was one less noisy guy in the bullpen.

……

"What's wrong?

Is this tiring? "Xiandao looked at Miyuki who stopped to take a breath and asked.

“Like Watanabe said, I was a little anxious before!

Three weeks’ time…

Even so, it’s only three weeks! ! "Miyuki sighed and whispered.

"really!

There is still enough time!

However, have you gained weight recently?

Would you be so tired from running so much before? Xiandao said and went off track.

"How can it be?

...Probably, a little bit! ! "

“But it’s normal!

Your appetite will not decrease because you are injured, but if you don’t practice enough, it will turn into fat!

Masuko-senpai is as fat as pudding!

I seem to have lost some weight recently? Xiandao said with a smile.

"You haven't changed much!" Miyuki glanced at Sendao, who seemed to have changed little, and said.

“That’s because I usually eat a lot.

Although I don’t know where the energy is consumed.

Maybe my brain is too active during my free time. So consume it all! Xiandao said with a smile.

He was not an instrument, so how could he know where all the food he ate had gone.

Moreover, he is not a big eater anymore. When he stayed at home and read comics all day long, he did not gain weight. He ate a lot but still got hungry...

"Huh!" Yu Xing breathed out tiredly.

"You can't do this!

Although I don’t know how intense the winter training camp is, but if you feel tired at this level, you will suffer!

Although I’m not bad either! Sendō complained to Miyuki, recalling the summer training camp and becoming less confident.

"makes sense!!"

"What? Do you still care?

Do you want to talk to Rei-chan and go out for a walk to relax? Xiandao asked.

“Sometimes my head understands, but I can’t control it!

But you... no matter what happens, you seem to be able to accept the reality immediately.

It’s really awesome! ! "

"Do not!

I've also had times when...even though I knew what to do, I still couldn't let go! "

"Really?"

"certainly!

I am human too! ! "

"I always thought you weren't!" Miyuki joked with a smile.

"Have you gone somewhere?" Xiandao asked.

"ah!!

Go to Chris senior's rehabilitation training center, I want to talk to him!

Last summer, Senior Chris, because of his shoulder injury, made me, a guy who had just joined the club, become the starting catcher!

He must be able to understand my mood!

If I talk to that person, maybe I can let go! ! "

"I see!!"

"What about you?"

"Of course I'm going too. I also want to seek some outside stimulation, maybe to meet Senior Chris!!"

"I knew it!!" Miyuki said with a true expression on his face.

……

"What's wrong with you two?

Suddenly..." On the way there, Rei-chan asked the two people behind her.

"I always feel... I feel that what I can do is limited anyway... so I want to go out and change my mood." Miyuki spoke first.

"It's been a bit boring watching them practice recently..." Xiandao seemed more straightforward.

"Everyone is waiting for you to go back, don't be impatient!" Rei-chan said.

Although he said it to two people, Rei-chan knew in his heart that Miyuki was the one who was really impatient.

"Is this really the case?" Mi Xing was still a little confused.

Recently, I have seen everyone meticulously practicing the most basic movements, and there is a certain kind of strength in their courage.

This caused him a lot of anxiety and confusion.

"You said that again!

How about showing your emotions more, like you did back then? "Rei-chan turned around and said with a smile.

"Hahaha!

indeed!

It was like dying at that time! ! Xiandao said with a smile.

"But it feels better after venting, right?" Then he looked at Miyuki's slightly red cheeks and spoke again.

"So is there such a person as Rei-chan?

Someone you can completely confide in? "Miyuki suddenly said.

Rei-chan's face went numb instantly! !

Obviously, Rei-chan misconstrued what Miyuki said...

"Uh! Um... sorry!"

"..."

"So I'm sorry!!"

“You two, don’t ignore me!!

Be careful, I'll expose some dirty stuff! ! "Xian Dao suddenly interrupted.

This suddenly woke up the two of them. They seemed to have someone they could talk to!

It's just that because of how Immortal Dao usually looks, I subconsciously ignored it...
