On the day when Sendou and Sawamura had a heart-to-heart talk, Rei-chan, Coach Kataoka, and Head Manager Oota taught Supervisor's Room the core of the team.
After a brief exchange of arrangements, we were left with Jun-san!
"Isashiki! I have something to discuss with you!"
"What's going on? Coach!" Facing the coaching staff, Jun-san showed his usual gentleness.
"I'm going to send Sendou to center field!"
Even if you don't want to, you still have to say it directly.
Sendou's fielding range, passing ability, and even ball speed began to overwhelm his teammates. Even though Jun-san was already an excellent center fielder, he could only give way to someone better.
And officially speaking, it has a completely different meaning from the previous temporary exchange.
"That's right! I don't have any problems!"
Jun-san's straightforward answer stunned the people who were ready to comfort him.
When I was asked to change to the outfield before, I was in a low mood and needed time to think about it to calm down.
"That guy did better than me! This is also for the good of the team! To be honest, I want to suggest it to the supervisor!" Jun-san said without any reluctance in his tone.
"Although Sendou has become a core player, you still have to direct the outfield. Moreover, the command of the left field will become more difficult."
"No problem at all, coach!
Please leave it all to me! "
The consciousness of these third graders has reached this level.
As long as it's good for the team, anything can be done to make the team stronger.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first!" Looking at the expressions of the coach and others who didn't know what to say, Jun-san smiled and left.
"It seems that we underestimated the senior class's recognition of Sendou!
And I underestimated the popularity of that guy Sendou.
He seems to get to know everyone with just a few words. I saw him and Tanba discussing something together a few days ago. "Rei-chan said slowly after Isashiki left.
"Tanba?" Head Manager Oota was a little surprised. Although Tanba has overcome many introversion problems recently, it is still unimaginable for him to have a good relationship with students in the lower grades.
The next day, the new Back Number was released, Sendou officially became the starting backbone of Seidou High School, Back Number 8...
In the two nights before Kanto Tournament started, Sendou stayed with Pudding-senpai to help him get used to playing with a short bat.
Sawamura was relieved to leave it to Chris. Sendou felt that it would be better for the two of them to go through the series of events in their previous lives.
It was precisely because of that incident that Sawamura understood Chris extremely deeply, and it was precisely because Chris was pestered by Sawamura that he became cheerful.
Seidou Kanto Tournament faced Yokohama Kohoku Academy from Kanagawa in the first game.
Kanagawa is the hometown of brothers Kominato. Similarly, any comic fan who knows Slam Dunk will not be unfamiliar with this county, which is like a childhood.
"I don't care about the outcome of today's game, but I want the powerful people in Kanto to remember how powerful the brand new Seidou is!"
"Oh!!!"
"Let's go!!!" Captain Tetsu only said this!
"Oh!!!"
Seidou's match against Hengxue officially begins!
"Seidou's starting player is in the first grade?" Hengxue's coach asked in a loud voice before the game started.
"Hi! And it's single digit Back Number, seven first graders, Sendou Akira!" The person next to him also answered in the affirmative.
After finishing speaking, the entire bench looked at the figure of Seidou in the center field.
The impact of this kind of thing is quite big. It's not terrible to be a starter, and it's not terrible to be a first-year starter, but Back Number is an odd number, which is terrible.
It proves that this is not a training exercise, but a real starting player from a famous family.
"Is this already the main selection?" Sawamura was sitting in the stands, pointing at Sendou with a look of disbelief on his face! (This is represented by Back Number)
I had never watched Seidou's competition before. I only knew that Sendou's several Starting Lineup performances were good, but I never thought that it would be possible to win single-digit Back Number.
There was no one who had a particularly good relationship with him to tell him, and Miyuki thought Sawamura knew about it. One Kanto Tournament in particular, Back Number, did not make any fanfare, and Sawamura practiced alone.
This led to Sawamura watching the game for the first time, and he was frightened as soon as he started watching it.
"Yes! Eijun-kun never dared to compete with us Seidou. Sendou-kun Spring Tournament had already firmly occupied the starting position, but Back Number has not changed.
Kanto Tournament has one digit Back Number, which has been seen before.
But I didn't expect that it would be the center fielder, the core of the outfield defense!
Sure enough, Sendou-kun is so awesome! "Xiaochun explained to him.
"Well! At this level, it's natural for Sendou!" Sawamura said with his arms crossed.
The next second Sawamura changed from frightened to matter-of-fact. Xiaochun really didn't expect it.
And that tone made it seem like he was the one to start the game!
"It's so fast! Sendou! I didn't expect that Back Number was already the first one, you bastard!
But, as expected of you! The pride of our Akashi.
Just wait! I'll join you! "Sawamura stared at Sendou in the field and felt deeply.
Even Chris once said that his eyes were on Sendou, with complicated eyes!
Chris seems to see himself, with the same talents and the same high expectations!
The difference is...
Thinking of this, Chris pressed his arm.
"You can do it before your talents are fully utilized, so much so that I have to work hard." In the end, it turned into envy.
The investigators from various schools outside the field also opened a new page and wrote Sendou's name on it.
Today's high school baseball is becoming more and more professional, with investigators holding notes while videotaping the entire process.
Moreover, the teams are divided into several groups. After all, several stadiums start at the same time, and Kanto Tournament is the first, or first and second place in each region. It is very likely that they will compete at Koshien in a few months.
Moreover, teams like Ichidai San High that did not participate in Kanto Tournament will also collect more information about Seidou, their opponents in the same district and the opponents of the top teams across the country.
This is how information is accumulated bit by bit.
"Top of the First Inning, Yokohama Kohoku Academy's attack!
One bat, second baseman, Ishioka-kun! "
"Let's solve it one by one! Tanba-san!"
"Come on you bastard!!!"
"Wooga!"
"The first one will win, the first one to score!" Miyuki gave instructions quickly!
"Xu!"
"Crack!"
"Good shot!!!"
Just as Miyuki thought, he would throw a curve ball that changed drastically to gain the upper hand!
"Hey! Is this curveball a little too much? Really or not!" The hitter was obviously shocked.
second ball,
"Huixiu" Senior Tanba always uses his voice to embolden himself or increase his momentum.
"Come again?"
"Crack!"
"Good shot! TWO!"
The second ball was a straight ball Inside Corner Ball. After the previous curve ball, it was impossible to release it.
After the second ball, the batters retreated unconsciously, otherwise they would not dare to take action against the curve ball.
After all, everyone has a sense of self-protection. When the brain thinks that the ball will hit their head, it will be difficult to control the body to aim.
"Xiu!"
"Crack!"
"Good shot!"
"Batter's out!"
"Finally, it was a straight ball to the outside corner, and the batter swung it and struck out!"
"Yo west!!!" Tanba yelled after striking out the first batter!
"Second stick, strong hand, Mr. Shin Nami!"
That's right, it's Shin Nami, Sendou. When I saw this name, I always wanted to complain that Japanese surnames are really weird and too casual, but I could only talk to myself.
The scariest thing is that they are in the same position as him, which makes Sendou feel so complicated.
"That curveball is really out of line!" Second-bat Shin Nami was also cautious about the pitcher in front of him.
Especially in the first round, I was not used to it.
"Xu!"
"Crack!"
"Good shot!"
This time the first goal was Low Ball from the outside corner!
"Where will the next ball be? Inside Corner Ball?"
"Phew!"
"Huh?"
Just when the batter's thoughts were racing, the second ball flew directly towards his head.
It was difficult for him to switch to his instinctive avoidance for a while, and the result was self-evident.
"Good shot!"
"How scary! If you miss the shot, it won't hit me, right? This bastard!"
What you see in the preparation area is still different from Batter's Box. This feeling of being hit is not something you can feel in the preparation area.
The preparation area is more suitable for balls that land on the right side of the catcher, that is, Changeup like Narumiya Mei, which can be seen more clearly in the preparation area.
Because Narumiya Mei, a left-handed pitcher like Changeup, falls on the inside of a left-handed hitter, just to the right side of the catcher, which is in the same direction as the batter's preparation area.
However, some balls cannot be hit without seeing the trajectory clearly. This is the magic ball.
For example, Major League's late-stage sinker with a speed of up to 160 kilometers per hour, the change trajectory is simply a lateral drift. Let alone the hitter, even the top catcher of Major League has difficulty in catching it. There have also been cases where the change is too exaggerated and the ball is completely missed.
The Changeup of the Narumiya Mei is also the same. There is a huge speed difference between the Changeup and the straight ball, which is difficult to adjust, not to mention the sharp drop.
If it weren't for Narumiya Mei's Changeup, it would float if thrown too much. It really corresponds to what Harada said. Changeup, which is interspersed with straight balls, can't be hit by anyone when the drop is exaggerated.
The key is that this kind of ball will not be missed by the catcher who is used to it. Narumiya Mei This kind of ball was even more terrifying when he was in third grade.
It's a pity that he doesn't have a speedball as terrifying as Furitani Hongo's. The greater the speed difference, the more terrifying the changeup ball.
Especially the Fastball that does not give the hitter any preparation, and the hitter is not even allowed to judge the speed of the ball. Paired with the Changeup with poor speed, even if there is no change in the Changeup, it will be like a nightmare.
Even if the body is vaguely guessed to be Changeup, it will be difficult to adjust from the previous high Fastball.
Fastball interspersed with slow balls will make people feel that Fastball is faster. Fastball interspersed with slow balls will make the slow balls slower. The two complement each other. The greater the difference in the middle, the faster Fastball is, then the more terrifying this system is.
Unless Dynamic Vision reaches a level where the ball speed is invalid, just like the monster in One Outs who can count how many turns Slow Ball has made during its flight.
And only when you are extremely sensitive to speed can you ignore the speed difference. At least now, Sendou's eyes cannot ignore it. Strictly speaking, it can only ignore part of it.
If Narumiya Mei and Changeup add the drop, the difficulty will increase geometrically. The only good thing is probably that the speed difference is not big enough!
The speed difference is the most terrifying weapon of Changeup.
The curveball of Tanba is also the most terrifying magic ball, but it is only for right-handed hitters.
Closer to home, Shin Nami, who was being chased by a curveball, missed Inside Corner Ball on the third pitch and turned it into a fly ball to third base. Pudding-senpai's fielding is really trustworthy.
The third-base shortstop Kajiyama hit a fly ball to second base.
It can only be said that Miyuki is an old one, and then the curveball's deterrent effect on right-handed hitters makes it difficult for them to distinguish Inside Corner Ball from the curveball.
Coupled with the space opened by Low Ball in the outside corner, the three-hitter was too concerned about the curveball, causing the hitter to take a shot at Hanging Ball in the inside corner.
Since the opponent was a shortstop and obviously not a power hitter, he didn't even go out to the infield.
Spring Tournament Tanba, who had just returned from injury, finally started to become reliable in Kanto Tournament.
"In the second half of the round, Seidou High School's attack!"
"One bat, shortstop, Kuramochi-kun!"
Although Hengxue only has the data of Kuramochi last fall and spring as the main selection period, the data of Autumn Tournament can actually be thrown into the trash.
After all, the team led by Coach Kataoka grew rapidly with the competition.
"Fight out! Kuramochi!"
"Masuko-san! If nothing happens, just hold it and feel it!" In the audience, Sendou took the bat and handed it to Pudding-senpai.
But no one else had time to pay attention to these two people.
"Wooga?"
"Yes, that's it!" Sendou gradually got used to the transformation of Masuko-senpai.
Anyway, this senior can express meaning through tone of voice, even if it is too complicated, he can still speak.
There is one thing Sendou is still very satisfied with. If it were that idiot Sawamura, he would probably start swinging the bat inside the bench...
Don't doubt it. When that guy gets excited, he probably won't remember who he is.
"Ah? Senior Kuramochi, when did you come back?" Sendou, who was communicating with Masuko, suddenly found that Kuramochi was sitting next to him.
"Just now!" Kuramochi didn't want to speak after hearing Sendou's question.
He knew that if he spoke casually, this keen-thinking junior would find an opportunity to trick him to death.
He would rather argue with Miyuki than mess with this guy.
"Miyuki has never won a fight with this guy, right?" Kuramochi thought this way and felt much better.
He used to be very unhappy with Miyuki's character and felt like there was no way to cure him, but now he finds out that he is also like this!
"Ah haha!" Kuramochi thought and laughed out loud.
However, just because he doesn't want to provoke anyone else doesn't mean that others won't!
"Oh! This guy was killed with just one shot!" Miyuki interjected from the side, pointed at Kuramochi with his finger, and smiled at Sendou.
"..."
Kuramochi's good mood disappeared in an instant!
Miyuki is a bit too skilled at selling his teammates.
"You bastard, shut up! You have no right to talk about me! You unstable bastard!"
"Hahaha! Thank you very much!"
Kuramochi doesn't want to talk anymore.
