On August 27, the weather was fine.

2:30 p.m.

In the semi-finals of the U18 World Baseball Exchange Tournament, the match between the island country and Cuba is in full swing.

When the two sides guessed, the island team won.

The referee asked Sawamura, do they want to attack first or second?

Sawamura replied as a matter of course: "Strike first!"

In the past, Supervisor Takeda had already made detailed arrangements for this problem.

He thinks the new Cuban pitcher, the one named Quatro.

Not a very consistent player.

And in the previous games, he didn't have many chances to play.

Even if you look at the news reports in Cuba, there is very little information about this player.

From this, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion that the opponent's game experience should not be very rich.

This point is too fatal.

"The opponent's game experience should not be very much. If we can show our own characteristics from the beginning, the probability of scoring in the first game is very high."

Supervisor Takeda was in high spirits, and at this time he was strategizing like an ancient wise man.

The players from the island country basically agree with this statement.

They have watched the video of the match between Cuba and South Korea, although Cuba has indeed shown extraordinary strength.

But judging by the players from the island nation, there is no problem for them to win.

South Korea, although the world ranking is very high, but the players from the island country have never taken each other seriously.

It's just a bunch of weak chickens!

South Korea is a group of weak chickens. After winning against South Korea's Cuba, it will not be much stronger in the future.

After all, the score is 5:2.

Although South Korea lost, they were not without power to fight back.

The situation on the island country is quite different!

They have a lot of top-notch pitchers, and the loss is manageable.

As long as the opponent is not the type that cannot be overcome, then scoring is also guaranteed.

Judging from the strength, there is no problem for the island nation to win this game.

Whether it is Takeda Supervisor or the players, they are full of confidence in this.

But considering that the finals will be played against North America, it is also the only game that Takeda Supervisor is not sure of winning.

As for Treasure Island, although their strength is also very strong.

But Supervisor Takeda doesn't think they can defeat the current North American team.

Baodao's strongest team recently should be in the 15-year-old age group.

Their players in the 18-year-old age group have not been particularly outstanding.

In North America, the situation is quite the opposite.

They are in the two age groups of 21 and 18, and excellent players emerge like a blowout.

In fact, long before Allen of the North American Dream Team, the North American team was already very strong.

The reason why they didn't win all the championships has a lot to do with the values ​​​​of North America.

They regard this kind of international competition as a stage for realizing personal value.

When I was young, I had no choice, but when I grow up, I have a choice.

Many outstanding players, because of their own problems, would refuse to be called up to the national team.

This is almost unimaginable in East Asia dominated by Confucian culture.

That's in North America, in the Western world.

This is a very common situation, for example, there are many good football players.

Because of the interests and future of the club, it is even possible to refuse invitations to the Olympics and the World Cup.

But this time in North America, it is obviously impossible to be in that situation.

Because of Sawamura Eijun's relationship, many North American players are now eyeing up to participate in the national team competition.

The strength of North America this year has become unparalleled.

As far as Baodao's current strength competes with others, it may be difficult to be the opponent of the other party.

Therefore, North America is also regarded as a serious problem by Takeda.

It is a hurdle they must overcome.

Considering the finals to come, today's semi-finals, of course, the sooner the better.

"I hope that in the first game, I can score points!"

Takeda Supervisor gave the players under him the task.

Won the semi-finals in one go, and then in the finals, he can also take the initiative.

Director Takeda gave the players tasks out of this idea.

Sawamura Eijun and his friends naturally agreed.

The starting players this time, except Mima Soichiro, are all from Tokyo.

It is said that it is a representative of an island country, but there is nothing wrong with you saying that it is a representative of Tokyo.

Not only did the players keep up with the previous game, there was a big difference.

In the arrangement of the lineup, to be clear, in the arrangement of the strike order.

Takeda Supervisor also made a big adjustment.

So much so that when the Cuban supervisor got the starting list in his hand, he was completely dumbfounded.

This was very different from the information he had received before.

First bat, outfielder, little black Carl Ross.

Second bat, pitcher, Eijun Sawamura.

The third bat, outfielder, Mima Soichiro.

The fourth bat, the catcher, Miyuki Kazuya.

Fifth batter, third baseman, Thunder City.

...

There is nothing wrong with the players who appeared on the field. It seems that they are the main force of the island country, the absolute main force.

But what's going on with this wiring arrangement?

Because of Sawamura, he had confronted Allen before.

Therefore, many people are deeply impressed by Eijun Sawamura, and they also know that he is not only the best pitcher in the island country.

He is also the person with the highest hit rate and the most bases.

Perhaps in terms of strikes, Sawamura still can't achieve absolute dominance like his own pitching.

Become the well-deserved first person.

But in terms of statistics, he is definitely the best hitter in the island country today.

Such a hitter, logically speaking, shouldn't he be placed in the third or fourth bat?

Only in this way can he play his importance more perfectly.

Why is it the second stick of connection?

This confuses Cuban supervisors.

When he investigated the information before, he felt that the current fifth-best, Hong, should be a relatively strong hitter.

Compared with Sawamura, it should not be inferior.

He also wasn't ranked third and fourth, but fifth.

The Cuban supervision really doesn't understand, what do the people in the island country think?

My brain is broken!

The Cuban supervision was at a loss, and many fans at the scene were also confused.

Not only laymen can't understand, but Akiko Yamada, who has been in baseball for two years, is also full of doubts.

As far as her knowledge is concerned, she also couldn't figure out what was going on?

Fortunately, she still has a teacher who can ask for advice at any time.

In fact, there is no need for her to ask for advice, the people next to her can't help themselves.

"As expected of Director Takeda, he is really experienced."

Fujio's sigh completely put Akiko Yamato in the ditch.

Seeing the lineup of the island country, she still had some thoughts in her mind.

But now, she really has no idea at all.

Why didn't she see the meaning of the lineup of Takeda Supervisor?

Seeing Akiko Owada's confused eyes, Fujio shook his head with emotion.

Although this junior has made rapid progress recently.

Obviously, she can only be regarded as half an expert at best.

She still doesn't know much about the true essence of baseball.

"Baseball is not only a contest of physical strength and technique, but also a contest of intelligence."

While speaking, Fujio pointed to his head.

"Football and basketball, although various tactics are also used, but strictly speaking, the impact of tactics on the result is not as great as everyone imagines. Only when the strengths of the two sides can confront each other head-on, tactics can play a role. This kind of Direct body collision, continuous movement. The importance of the brain is 10%~20%. This is not to say that the brain is not important, sometimes it is 10%~20%, which is the difference between a genius and a mortal. But more Yes, it must be determined by physical fitness and skills. A group of elementary school students, no matter how well they train, will suffer when they compete with adults. Baseball is different. Although there are strong physical confrontation and skills in it, but The proportion accounted for is about 50%. The other 50% is a duel of intelligence."

"Adults bully children in football and basketball. Generally speaking, it is difficult for children to win. But baseball is different. Elementary school students who have been exercising for a while play games with ordinary adults. It is difficult for adults to win. Elementary school students. The same example, in football and basketball, the result may be the opposite."

Fujio talked eloquently for a long time.

Owada Akiko had been listening carefully, but after listening for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what Fujio wanted to say?

"This is the tactic, the tactic of baseball. What Director Takeda is using now is a fast-break hit! His goal is to score points as soon as possible to ensure victory."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Owada Akiko asked puzzledly.

Fujio shook his head emotionally.

The little girl really did not live up to his expectations, she really didn't understand anything.

"Of course it's for the final!"

Unlike the Cuban team, Supervisor Takeda has already begun to think about the finals.

It is not surprising that he would think so.

Fujio glanced at the lineup on the island country, and he was dazzled.

From the first bar to the ninth bar, there are all star players. There are even six top star players here.

Such a lineup is simply the so-called fairy lineup.

No matter what kind of opponent it is, playing with such a lineup may not be able to reap the benefits.

Regarding this point, Fujio is not the only one who thinks so.

On the other side of the island country, there is a live TV broadcast.

And invited a famous narrator to analyze.

The narrator's voice is very high pitched.

"As a die-hard fan of Qingdao High School baseball team, I have to admit that the team in front of me is really too strong. Even Qingdao in the Hagar final is nothing compared to them. If the two teams meet If we compete together, even if I am a die-hard fan of Qingdao, I have to admit it. It may be difficult for Qingdou to win the final victory!"

When the commentator saw this team, he couldn't help but shiver.

Such a lineup of immortals, where is there any reason not to win?

Will win, will win.

In this regard, the island country players have sufficient confidence.

It's not just players like them who are confident, including the fans who watch the TV broadcast.

Also very confident.

When Jiaziyuan was so popular before, people never thought of forming such an army of immortals.

Although such a fairy lineup has appeared more than once.

But it is not an easy task to combine them together.

There are too many problems here, even for the national team, there are various problems in it.

Thinking of an attempt by Supervisor Takeda, it made many of their dreams come true.

formed a team.

For the players, this team composition has both good and bad sides.

But for all fans, this situation is welcome.

They finally met so many real people in the same place at the same time

This feeling is so dreamy!

Almost everyone is drooling over the situation on the island country.

When they saw such a lineup, they all had a lot of thoughts in their hearts. The study of the island country is very important homework for every team, especially those teams that may become opponents, so they have a clear understanding.

The game officially begins.

At the time of the attack, as the back-up cheerleaders, they had already started beating gongs and drums.

The cheerleaders are crazy too, putting on a show.

At this time, some people even sang songs.

Later, many people sang together.

The island nation is aggressively attacking.

The Cuban players were full of helplessness and disbelief at such a scene.

They are a little confused, what exactly does the island country want to do?

Could it be possible to defeat opponents and enemies by shouting a few slogans?

Stop daydreaming!

Their players scoffed at such ideas and practices.

For the Cuban players, their success is mainly due to their hard work and daily practice. If chanting a few slogans can be effective, then everyone does not need to practice. Just practice how to shout slogans at home every day up.

My dad's players look down on what the island country is doing. They think that no matter how hard they try, it will be very difficult for the island country to achieve success, but the reality is not the case. The little black Carl Rose stared at his opponent closely, looking for opportunities. The guy named Quattro, the leader of Cuba, is very strong. At least from the previous observations, he is very strong. Karl Ross was already prepared for this, and he raised his bat high. Shaking slightly, the whole body also swayed slightly, assuming a posture of a cheetah preparing to pounce. At this moment, a small white ball flew over, with a whoosh sound as if an intelligence target had thrown it fiercely, but Carlos seemed to be prepared for the sudden appearance of the baseball, the bat in his hand whizzed out, It just piled up on the flying white ball. Hit well, just hit the ball in one go!
