Chapter 110: Three Catchers
"Qingdao! Qingdao!!!"
Even the most die-hard supporters of Qingdao High School baseball team, most of them don't know Chen Ping's name.
Not to mention cheering Chen Ping alone.
It's not just Chen Ping, there are very few players who can really get that kind of treatment on the baseball field.
Generally, only the pillars of the team will receive such treatment.
It's like Sawamura and Miyuki of Seido High School's baseball team, or Narimiya Naruto of Daocheng Industrial High School's baseball team.
Others, at most, get a few individual cheers, and they are already very good. The sound of cheering was mixed with the shouts of tens of thousands of people, but it was actually not audible...
Just like now, there are quite a few people talking about Chen Ping in the stands, but at this moment, the people on the court can't hear what they say.
Because the die-hard supporters of Qingdao High School baseball team shouted out their cheers.
When it is impossible to call out the player's name neatly and cheer for this player alone. This player has another outstanding performance, so what should the fans do?
It's very simple, just shout Qing Dao's name.
No matter who has a good performance, it is always right to call the team's name.
Tens of thousands of people were at the scene, waving and beating all the props that could be used in their hands, and shouting the name of Qingdao High School baseball team.
"Qingdao! Come on!!!"
"Qingdao! King!!!!"
Chen Ping, who just scored, enjoys the worship of the crowd.
The other members of the Qingdao High School baseball team have actually felt this feeling when they performed well before.
That feeling, as if I have become the center of the world!
How good it is, how good it is! ! !
Even if they have experienced it several times, they are still excited every time they experience it.
The boys of the Qingdao High School baseball team work so hard on the field, and this may be one of the reasons.
Although many friends have experienced it, it is the first time for Chen Ping.
He never thought that an ordinary school competition would attract so many people's attention?
And standing on the court, he really seemed to be standing in the center of the world.
Everyone is applauding him!
Man, shouldn't that be the case?
For the first time in his life, Chen Ping became obsessed with this course.
He played baseball before, though he has some fondness for it. But more importantly, I don't want to disappoint those who care about him.
For example, the program directors who exchanged life on Fruit Channel, as well as those executive directors and screenwriters.
Including the parents who exchanged the family with him in the program group...
In Chen Ping's mind, they are the best and best people in the world.
When they found Chen Ping, they hoped that Chen Ping could come to the island country to participate in such a recording.
Without any hesitation, Chen Ping agreed!
Chen Ping has to work hard every day after training.
The same is to live up to those who like him.
Later, the selfless help of Kuramochi and Sawamura Eijun also made Chen Ping's burden even heavier.
Chen Ping was also very moved to meet such seniors in a foreign country.
It was precisely because he did not want to disappoint their expectations that Chen Ping practiced with Cang Mochi every day.
This is what he is today, and he is a blockbuster on the court.
On the road of baseball, today's Chen Ping is just at the beginning.
At this time, Chen Ping didn't think about what kind of changes this incident would have on his future life.
He just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he finally lived up to the expectations of Master Cangchi and the supervisor.
And this feeling seems to be really good.
Every pore in the body is open, breathing in the fresh air around.
The cheers of tens of thousands of people are enough to make people intoxicated!
"I'm going to keep playing baseball!"
In the heart of the young man, there was such an ignorant thought.
Under the eyes of everyone, Chen Ping returned to the rest area.
Get ready to celebrate with your teammates.
Although he is not very familiar with most of the seniors in the second and third grades. But I want to come to the same dormitory as Xiaomin, Qianyuan. His master, Kuramochi, has been helping her senior, Sawamura.
And those friends from the first grade, they should come up to congratulate, right?
"Snapped!"
Unexpectedly, when he just returned to the rest area, he was directly slapped by Kuramochi.
"You idiot, don't you know how dangerous the action just now is? Maybe, your baseball career will be ruined like this!"
Kuramochi said very frightenedly.
"Such a dangerous action, don't do it again!"
Supervisor Kataoka was not happy because the score was tied, but ordered with a serious face.
"Be careful, I don't want my replacement to leave the field due to injury!"
Miyuki was as venomous as ever.
A few first-year friends around originally wanted to rush up to celebrate. After hearing such words, he retreated obediently.
They felt that it was not good for them to come up to celebrate with Chen Ping at this time?
Chen Ping, who successfully completed the task, received such treatment.
In anyone's heart, I'm afraid they will be wronged.
Chen Ping is naturally the same!
With such a lot of pressure, he successfully helped the team score a point. It's fine if there is no praise, but he was even reprimanded.
But even so, Chen Ping felt warm in his heart.
The people around him are really good people.
Whether it's Kataoka, who never sticks to his words and smiles, or the captain who is used to a poisonous tongue...
Compared with winning the game, they care more about their bodies.
"No, there's nothing wrong, right?"
Minister Ota rubbed his hands nervously, and checked Chen Ping inside and out, but fortunately, nothing serious was found.
Even if there is a bruise on the arm, it doesn't seem to matter.
When ordinary people are running with all their strength, they dive rapidly and have to retract their waists...
These are all very dangerous things.
Not to mention Chen Ping, considering the speed of this guy, he made this kind of movement.
It's really scary!
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Chen Ping, the friends from the Qingdao High School baseball team cheered.
"I have to say, you kid is amazing!"
"Your game is more dazzling than the dozen or so games I played before!"
"Don't flatter yourself, since he only played for less than a minute, it surpassed your ten-hour performance..."
Chen Ping's performance in this game and the praise he received cannot be overstated.
Although even if Chen Ping can't score this point, the Qingdao High School baseball team may not necessarily lose.
But in the future games, it is certain that Qingdao High School baseball team will be in a passive position.
But it's different now, with this point, even Miyuki was replaced.
The Qingdao High School baseball team can take the initiative in today's game.
Sawamura was the last one to walk up to Chen Ping. He patted Chen Ping on the back and said two simple words.
"thanks!"
Chen Ping looked at Sawamura with a puzzled expression.
"Don't worry, leave the rest of the game to me!"
Sawamura Eijun thought that Chen Ping was worried, so he promised.
Chen Ping opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after hearing such assurance, he closed his mouth again.
Although Sawamura-senpai misunderstood what he meant, the current Sawamura looks extremely reliable.
For Sawamura, since this point has been recovered, he will never accept defeat.
As for Miyuki being replaced!
Of course Sawamura Eijun also knew that this was a great source of anxiety.
A four-level changeup ball is equivalent to being sealed. Among the catchers of the Seido High School baseball team, Miyuki is the only one who can catch Eijun Sawamura's four-level changeup ball.
Even level three change balls must be used with care.
Right now, there are three backup catchers in the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Their personal strength is very good, and their ability to catch the ball is first-class.
If the other pitchers are replaced, the trio should have no problem catching the ball after a period of exercise.
Unfortunately, their partner is Eijun Sawamura.
None of the three of them was sure, 100% caught all the changing balls of Eijun Sawamura.
To be honest, this cannot be entirely blamed on their lack of strength.
Sawamura Eijun's changing ball, because the state of the ball is different every day, the ball will change a lot.
To put it bluntly, even if you practice enough today to catch Eijun Sawamura's ball.
You may not be able to catch the exact same changeup shot by Eijun Sawamura tomorrow.
No way, who let Sawamura Eijun shoot a kind of change ball, and the change will be different the next day.
Only monsters like Miyuki can keep up with Sawamura Eijun's changes.
Those low-level change balls are okay, and they stay the same.
But the high-level changing ball is completely different.
The higher the level of change ball, the more complex the degree of change. This type of ball is also most affected by the player's state.
In the words of Kaoru Yui, Sawamura-senpai's change ball is simply not shot by a human being.
As a catcher, you have to adapt to a different Sawamura every day, and you have to catch his ball.
Is this something humans can do?
Someone will ask, how did Miyuki do it?
Kaoru Nayui will definitely answer with a wry smile: "Captain Miyuki, that can be counted as a human!"
This is how the remaining three catchers of Seido High's baseball team feel about Eijun Sawamura and Kazuya Miyuki.
This pair of Qingdao High School's main shooters has already far exceeded the level of high school.
Now Miyuki has been replaced, and there is no way to continue playing in the next game.
Supervisor Kataoka had to choose one of the remaining three catchers to replace him.
Regardless of the fact that the two teams are evenly divided, the Qingdao High School baseball team is still under a lot of pressure.
If a team doesn't cooperate well, it is possible for the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team to score.
How much pressure do you have to bear when you are replaced as a catcher at this time? it goes without saying.
Director Kataoka originally wanted to find a catcher with fighting spirit in his eyes.
To be honest, Yui Kaoru and Okumura are two grades younger than Ono. But the strength of the two of them is definitely not inferior to Ono.
Whether it's the ability to read the game or the ability to catch the ball, including the various techniques of the catcher.
These two first-year new catchers are not bad at all.
The three of them can be said to be evenly matched, and it doesn't seem to be a big problem to send anyone to play.
With similar skills, the only thing left to compete is fighting spirit.
Supervisor Kataoka also prefers players with strong fighting spirit.
So he sincerely hoped that he could find a player with strong fighting spirit.
As a result, the performance of the three catchers disappointed Kataoka.
It's not that the three of them don't have fighting spirit in their eyes, quite the opposite.
The small flames in the eyes of these three people were about to ignite.
If they could write on their faces, they wish they could all write on their faces and choose me! choose me! Just choose me! !
In this case, who to put on the field? Who is left behind?
It has become a difficult proposition.
It's not that I'm worried that the players on the field are unqualified and don't work hard.
Mainly the remaining two, how should we deal with ourselves?
