Chapter 67: Don't Accept It
Sawamura Eijun didn't know anything about the national team.
The coaching staff of Qingdao High School baseball team knew about this in advance.
After all, this kind of invitation must be sent to the school first.
But considering that the Koshien game was about to start, Supervisor Kataoka didn't say anything about it.
He didn't mean that he was afraid that this kind of thing would affect Sawamura Eijun's emotions.
How mature is Sawamura Eijun?
Sometimes when Director Kataoka communicates with Eijun Sawamura, he even forgets the age of Sawamura, feeling as if he is talking with someone of his own age.
It was a very weird feeling, but Director Kataoka thought it was normal.
Maybe it's because he has communicated with Eijun Sawamura too many times like this, and he has gradually gotten used to this kind of Sawamura.
Comparing your heart with your heart, will you be nervous when you know it?
Maybe I knew it when I was in high school, but Kataoka now has already passed that time period.
Sawamura Eijun, who can talk to him on an equal footing, thinks the same.
He should not be affected by the national team's affairs.
Just because he won't be affected doesn't mean others won't.
Eijun Sawamura was not the only one who received the invitation for the Seido High baseball team.
Can other people be as calm as Sawamura Eijun?
It's hard to say.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is those who have not been able to receive the invitation.
Their thoughts will also affect the team's game.
"Anyway, there is still time. After Jiashiyuan is over, let's announce this matter."
Director Kataoka discussed this with Coach Ochiai at the time.
Both of them believed that such an approach was the best approach for the Qingdao High School baseball team.
It is also the best practice for the players.
They also understand that the players know that they can join the national team, and they will definitely perform desperately.
But if you don't join the national team, don't you have to work hard?
If you don't perform because you didn't join, and you only perform when you join, what is the significance of such a player for the Qingdao High School baseball team?
Is it really good for the Qingdao High School baseball team to push such a player?
Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai agreed that it is better not to easily test people's bottom line.
Human nature cannot withstand temptation.
At the end of the trial, it is likely that the bamboo basket fetched water in vain.
In this case, it is better to let the players play freely, and whoever does it will win.
One out, man on first base.
At this time, it was the fourth batman of Seidou High School's baseball team, Kazuya Miyuki, to hit.
At this time, the Qingdao High School baseball team had gained a one-point lead, and their mentality relaxed accordingly.
With such an advantage, they can choose when attacking and take certain risks.
And as long as they take risks, opportunities will surely arise.
Such opportunities are certainly much greater than step-by-step.
The way this game works is snowballing,
By snowballing, the advantage of your own team is getting bigger and bigger.
Sawamura, who is at the first base position, is the team's pitcher, and his speed is not very fast.
Logically speaking, at this time, he should honestly stop on first base.
But he didn't do that. Instead, he actively moved to second base, as if he was ready to steal a base at any time.
Seeing Sawamura like this, the players of Jinzunong High School also had a headache.
They really couldn't think of any good way to get rid of Sawamura.
Even though he knew it was impossible for this guy to steal bases, it was disgusting for him to do so.
If the players of Jinzunong High School choose to turn a blind eye, their mentality and momentum will be greatly affected.
In order to avoid this, Yoshida even had to throw the ball to Sawamura Eijun.
When he threw the check ball, Sawamura Eijun seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and quickly rushed back to first base.
"Safety!"
"Safety!!"
Two consecutive checks did not have any impact on Sawamura Eijun.
He still tried to put on a posture of actively stealing bases.
the stands.
Yujing Xunzheng explained to Chen Ping the purpose of Sawamura Eijun's doing so.
"With the speed of Sawamura Eijun-senpai, he can't hit base no matter what, right?"
This is obvious.
You must know that the baseball team of Jinzunong High School is very fast, and even Master Cangchi didn't come in time before.
Not to mention Sawamura.
The limit speed of the two is the speed after they have soared to the fastest speed, although they are similar.
But the starting speed of the two is very different.
In terms of stealing bases, Kuramochi was at least 0.3 seconds faster than Sawamura Eijun.
Put it on the pitch, that is to say, start running at the same time, running from first base to second base. The gap between the two is at least two or three meters.
Considering that Kuramochi-senpai's figure is relatively fast, and his movements are flexible.
This gap can be four or five meters, or even farther.
Kuramochi hit base before.
But it wasn't all about his speed. He was able to get to second base because of his superior overall strength.
No matter how you look at it, Sawamura Eijun does not have the possibility of success.
"That's not necessarily the case. Senior Cang Mochi didn't succeed because his offensive intentions were too obvious. He just wanted to use actions to tell the players of Jinzunong High School that he was going to steal a base! Let the other party know and take him too Nothing to do."
To put it bluntly, Jinzu Nong High School confronted Kuramochi with mental preparation.
They took a certain advantage, that's why they almost killed Cangzhi.
"But Sawamura Eijun-senpai is different this time! The opponent can't figure out whether he really wants to steal a base or simply wants to attract the pitcher's attention. If the opponent judges the latter, throw A particularly sharp change ball. Senior Sawamura may still hit the base successfully. And even if he does not really intend to steal a base, such a position will attract enough attention from the pitcher. Invisibly for the hitter behind him, It shared a lot of pressure. It made it easier for him to see the opponent's flaws and give him a hard blow." When Yujing Xun said the truth, his face was full of brilliance.
Before he knew it, like other first-year friends, he became a fan of the big devil, Sawamura Eijun-senpai.
Every step that Sawamura took made him feel that he had learned a lot of new things.
This feeling is really great!
It couldn't be more awesome! !
Suddenly, a trace of regret appeared on his face.
It's a pity that now I have been brushed out of the lineup of the first army, and there is no way to watch the performance of the seniors up close.
Can't go on like this!
If I continue to be so unknown, I might really have no chance.
He must work hard!
We must let Director Kataoka and the coaching staff of the Seido High School baseball team see the value of his existence.
Okumura, Matsumoto!
In the next competition, he must not lose to these two guys.
When the autumn competition begins, he must stand upright in front of Senior Sawamura Eijun as his partner.
Chen Ping on the other side was also thoughtful.
It turns out that there are so many things a person can do after hitting the bases?
Sawamura Eijun's speed is obviously not fast, but after he hit the base pack, he caused a lot of trouble for the opponent.
What if you change yourself?
In terms of his own speed, after standing on the base bag, will it bring more trouble to the opponent?
Will they be more jealous of themselves, and even show timid emotions.
As long as he thought of these, Chen Ping felt that there was a vast expanse ahead of him.
He was a little disappointed when he was brushed out of the first army.
He even had a certain amount of self-doubt, thinking that he was not suitable to be a baseball player at all?
but now.
He has let go of the concern in his heart.
If there is no such thing, I must be suitable.
As long as you can get on base, there are still many things you can do.
The reason why he is not favored by the supervision and coaching staff now is because he himself does not have the ability to hit the base.
If he can get on base by himself, even if he wants to come to Kataoka Supervisor and Ochiai Coach, there is no way to turn a blind eye to his performance.
If it can be done, it will definitely be done.
The friends in the stands are thinking about joining the First Army.
The friends in the rest area are also imagining what to do if they encounter such a situation?
The cooperation between Eijun Sawamura and Kazuya Miyuki has always been a headache.
This is the case when the two of them are pitching, and it is the same when they are attacking now.
Both of them showed extremely restless characteristics, and it seemed that as long as the other party was a little negligent, they would be given even a little bit of space.
They will all rush forward and give their opponent a hard bite.
How much pressure are the players of Jinzunong High School under?
Can they really withstand the attacks of these two men?
The friends of Qingdao are even starting to worry about their opponents now.
Like whoever it is?
As long as they are against these two guys, Sawamura Eijun and Miyuki Kazuya, their fate will definitely not be that good.
Those opponents were like this before.
Looking at it now, the opponent on the field seems to be not much different...
In this regard, the friends of Qingdao High School baseball team sympathized with their opponents.
But Yoshida himself did not want such sympathy.
He carefully looked at Sawamura on the first base, and then glanced at Miyuki on the strike zone.
He had no doubt that if he pitched with all his might, Eijun Sawamura would steal a base.
It was his feeling, and he believed in his own feeling.
And looking at the opponent's posture, it's not just as simple as Sawamura Eijun stealing bases himself.
They should have other plans.
As for what they are plotting?
Yoshida couldn't figure it out.
After all, he is not a roundworm in the opponent's stomach. It is impossible to really know what is going on in the opponent's mind?
The only thing he can do now is to not let his opponents succeed no matter what they are plotting.
It is impossible to contain Sawamura!
At this time, he can only put all his attention on the hitter.
"Whoosh!"
Yoshida Guanghui threw out the white ball in his hand with all his might.
During this process, he felt like his entire arm was burning.
This feeling is too exciting!
Even if the ball is thrown, I don't know what the result will be.
He is willing to try.
Seeing Yoshida throwing the ball, Sawamura Eijun no longer had any restraints, and flew directly to second base.
But after he ran a few steps, he heard a loud noise behind him.
"Snapped…"
The sound was so loud that it was impossible to pretend not to hear it.
Wang Tianci did not hesitate. Go straight back and run to first base
"Safety!"
As expected, the baseball was thrown from the catcher's position.
Fortunately, he came back in time and avoided the fate of being banned.
