"Ya-san! What are you looking at?"

"Is this?" Inajitsu Bai Mao looked at the big-faced senior watching TV in front of him.

"Seidou High School's Kanto Tournament versus Hengxue." Harada replied directly.

"Is it too early to study Seidou now? It's the finals, and they may not hit us yet!

Quarterfinals is facing Ichidai San High!

Instead of studying them let's focus on our practice. "Tsundere Prince shows his arrogant nature.

"That's right.

But we are all familiar with player Ichidai San High, and there are traces of his growth trajectory.

But Seidou High School activated four first-year students at once, especially these two men.

Kanto Tournament shocked Kanto's talented pitcher Furuya Satoru when he debuted.

And this man, Sendou Akira, who has just finished his enrollment and can't wait to make his debut!

Fielding, hitting and baserunning are all top-notch.

Especially when it comes to fielding and running the bases, it is obvious that he is tired without saying much about his footwork.

In terms of defense, we also know clearly the defensive ability of Isashiki, but it started from Spring Tournament becoming a mid-level midfielder in the Ichidai San High battle.

Later, he started with a midfielder one after another, and today's Back Number is all 8, a man who can send that Isashiki to the left field.

Although the super high batting average is for reference only due to the game.

It has to be said that Sendou has become one of the absolute main players of Seidou, but his information is too little, and he has only played a few official games.

And the day we were with Seidou Shu Bei and Practice Match, did you notice? Ming! "

"Oh!!! He must have just arrived at the stadium at that time!

And it seems that he was off that day, which means that in order to hide him, Seidou was not even willing to let him play in Shu Bei's game. "As arrogant as he is, the King is still very keen on baseball.

"Yes, although we can also understand Seidou's approach. He is the absolute main force, and his opponent does not have much information. We should try to make it understandable for the opponent to have less information.

But judging from their state at the time, they should have just gone through training camp and have not yet recovered.

In this way, even if you play, you won't be able to see your level.

The only possibility is...! "

"The strength of that man is completely different from that of Kanto Tournament, although he was unable to reveal his true strength due to the fatigue of the training camp.

But you can tell something by comparing it with other people in Seidou.

But does this really make sense? "

"I'm afraid he still has some weaknesses, so I hope to hide them by reducing his appearances.

But there is no doubt that that man is definitely a different person from the one in our information.

If we really had to encounter him and study him, it would probably be difficult to discover his weaknesses. "

"So Ya-san will start research now? We plan to use quantity instead of quality."

"No, I always feel like I've seen him somewhere, and I have a gut feeling that tells me that man is dangerous.

But when I started researching, I initially planned to use volume to make up for it, but he played too few seats. "

"I didn't expect Ya-san to be this kind of person?"

"#"

"What do you want to say?"

"Pfft! It's nothing!"

"#!#!"

"Don't worry, Ya-san, we are the strongest this year!" Tsundere Prince switched to king mode in seconds.

"Really! How many times have I told you not to underestimate them!"

Although Harada Masakatsu said so, and what he said was true, there was always a feeling of peace of mind in his heart. This was Narumiya Mei, their Inajitsu absolute trump card.

"Then! Ya-san Just watch it slowly! I'm going to bed!"

"Yes! This is my job! What time do you go to bed now?

Hello! Ming! "No matter how you listen to the first half of the sentence, there is a feeling of resentment, just like Seidou in the original book said before the war that except for a few things such as letting Ming remember the characteristics of the opponent's batter, it was all his job, exactly the same.

Sendou, on the other hand, does not have the Old Mother Hen character of Harada. He is more casual, finds problems and solves them, and knows what can be done and what is too far away from other things.

Although Harada's face feels a bit familiar every time, my memory in this life is so good that even if I only see a face once, I will have an impression, so I don't think much about it.

Seidou High School, on the other hand.

"Sendou-chan! I have become a lot more diligent in swinging the bat recently! Why didn't I go to Indoor Practice Field?" Pudding-senpai talked a lot more in front of Sendou. Many words can't be replaced by woo-ga!

"It's too bright there! And I don't like crowded places. It's very quiet here." Sendou said with a smile.

"Swing the bat! I've been a little bored lately and just want to swing.

It must be the fault of the training camp!

During that period of practice, my time was fully arranged. I had such a fulfilling life and suddenly had so much time that I felt like I couldn't even read comics. "

Okay! Sendou started talking nonsense again with half truths and half lies. It was simply harder than killing him to make him admit that he didn't want to lose the game and wanted to work hard.

Don't be surprised, people who have never worked hard for many years will feel a little embarrassed when they suddenly want to work hard.

Geniuses, because of their outstanding talents, can achieve first place just by playing around. If they admit that they want to work hard, it will seriously hurt their self-esteem.

Just like Aku Tsujin in Prince of Tennis, he can't lose because he doesn't work hard.

Geniuses can win even without working hard, so whether they work hard or lose, it is a self-esteem-damaging thing.

Of course, winning or losing is not what people think of winning or losing.

As long as he thinks that he has won the game even if he loses, for example, as a hitter, he completely suppressed the pitcher and his fielding is perfect, then if the team loses, it is not his loss, so he will not feel that he has lost.

The same is true on the other hand, if he thinks he has lost, even if he wins the game, he still loses. It is difficult for people to deceive themselves.

Sendou There are only two reasons to practice your swing.

First, when he saw Narumiya Mei pitching, he felt the thought that he would lose for the first time.

Second, this is the seniors the Last Summer. He hopes to extend the summer of the seniors as much as possible without going against his own will.

The seniors only vaguely felt the second meaning, because they could not understand the complex self-esteem of geniuses.

Even Miyuki and Chris, who are also known as genius catchers, can't do the same.

Because Sendou's talent is so outstanding that he didn't need to work hard and had no opponents before.

"Senior! Why don't you go to Indoor Practice Field?"

"Me too! And this is the place where everyone and I have been practicing for a long time.

Sendou-chan!

I will take back the five-stick position. "Speaking, Pudding-senpai swung his bat hard.

"That's just Practice Match!"

"No, Sendou-chan! Now you are more suitable to be a center hitter than me. All of us in the third grade agree."

"Soga!" Sendou knew that anything he said was useless. In his opinion, it was another problem with the flow of impressions.

In fact, Sendou underestimated his own striking power!

"If seniors want to become stronger, it would be better to find Black-bellied Glasses to learn how to match the ball.

Although the competition is approaching now, it is difficult to say how effective it will be.

But Masuko-san's baseball career won't end just in high school, right? "Sendou unintentionally dug a big hole for a certain bastard with goggles.

"Find him something to do by the way!"

"Hmm!..." Pudding-senpai fell into deep thought.

"From observation in recent months, Masuko-senpai's weakness is that it is not good at Long Hit Changeup, but would it be helpful if it could be guessed in advance?

That bastard with goggles is a professional in this regard (most Japanese majors speak of professions).

Of course, it's best not to have high hopes for Masuko-senpai's impact on the current competition. "Seeing the senior in deep thought, Sendou simply gave his analysis. Of course, Masuko-senpai himself has the right to make the decision.

Sendou is very helpless that he only thought of this now, but after all, they have only known each other for a few months, and he is not very familiar with professional baseball. It is already difficult for him to think of it at this time, and he has not yet decided on his own training direction.

However, this is also for Masuko's future baseball career.

Excellent listener, considerate, gentle and attentive.

Although Sendou has a similar personality to Miyuki, it is extremely popular.

Even Senior Tanba, who is difficult to get along with, can still chat with Sendou, which is one of the reasons why he is so popular.

"Yeah! I understand, Sendou-chan! But now that the conference is approaching, and this can't be completed in a short time, there is no hope for Xia Tian. It's better not to trouble him."

Hearing this, Sendou took a deep breath. Sure enough, there was no way to completely push Miyuki down from this big pit.

"Then, senior, you can find Senior Chris. Although Senior Chris is a little busy recently, just a few words will not waste your energy.

Moreover, from a catcher's perspective, Senior Chris is better than Miyuki.

That bastard with goggles still has a lot of habits, but Senior Chris plays ball as if he can see through the opponent's mind, so Senior Chris is also a good choice. "

Since there is no way to dig a hole for that Black-bellied Glasses, we can only take the opportunity to tease him.

"Thank you! Sendou-chan!"

"Don't worry, senior!" (See, Black-bellied Glasses, you should learn how to get along with others.)

Beginning on the second day, the final adjustments before the game began. The training was mostly based on actual combat. Whether it was defensive practice or attacking, it was basically done manually.

Recently, more and more OBs come to watch the training. Not only those who live nearby, but also some people after work will come to watch. Of course, office workers are not included. These people are really too busy. They can only cheer for Seidou in their hearts and follow Seidou through newspapers and other means.

Of course, if Seidou scores against Koshien, there will definitely be many people who will come to watch the game on their off days without hesitation.

The OBs who came specially did not come directly. Each of them brought a lot of condolences. It can only be said that Seidou's Baseball Club is a very successful club that makes it difficult for graduates to leave.

I haven't entered Koshien for so many years. Apart from the people at the school, they are probably the ones who are most anxious!

After all, many of these people have fought in Koshien.

And many of these people have become temporary fans of the main players, especially Sendou.

It's not that the other seniors are not good enough, it's simply because Sendou is a first-year student. As a freshman, he needs encouragement. At the same time, he is also the pillar of Seidou for the next three years!

He became the absolute main force in the first grade. In the fall, he was undoubtedly the backbone of the team's lineup. There was no one among the four substitutes. How could it be that most of the real core players of the current team are third-year players?

The support of OBs is both motivation and pressure.

Looking at the OBs who don't even have the heart to come up and talk for fear of affecting everyone's training, and even come and go in a hurry, how could there be no Fighting Spirit and no pressure?

Under Senior Chris's intensive training, Double Pitcher's defense has improved greatly.

For example, at this time, Furuya and Sawamura completed a beautiful defense.

It felt like a real relief.

At this time, the popularity of Sawamura was revealed.

Everyone praised Furuya seriously, but when it came to Sawamura, in addition to complimenting him, someone made a joke at the end, "Although it was just a coincidence!"

Then there is the friendly interaction of Double Pitcher.

"Nice coincidence!" Furuya looked cute and wanted to talk to Sawamura, who was also extremely cute.

"The same goes for you!" Sawamura retorted unhappily.

Of course, this is also the special way the two get along. Recently, the two have become closer and closer.

At this time, Sendou noticed that Senior Chris and several other third-year students who had gone out to investigate came back. It seemed that the investigation was over.

As Kouya's competition becomes more and more professional and the combat level gradually upgrades, then the introduction of professional intelligence warfare will of course be inevitable.

Baseball game information accounts for a very large proportion.

The training ended soon, and the Seidou players had a meeting in the cafeteria after dinner, with Chris explaining the collected intelligence.

"Back Number one! Kikunaga Masaaki, a left-hand pitcher, uses Shoulder Throwing Method. The fastest ball speed is in the second half of 120 (that is, more than 125).

Changeup is a curveball and Slider.

He is a sophomore who was named an ace this summer. He was an outfielder as a freshman and was not very good at handling the ball!

The second son of three brothers, his hobby is billiards! His brother also plays baseball! "

"The following information is unnecessary! Where did Senior Chris get this private information? It's easy to find out as a first-year outfielder. How do you know someone's family situation and personal interests? Hello!" Sendou complained about Senior Chris's notebook in his heart.

After all, Seidou has a lot of money. Almost all the matches are recorded every year to prevent the emergence of dark horses. At that time, one more game recorded will increase the chance of winning and reduce the risk.

After all, the strength of a high school baseball team is very unstable and uncontrollable.

Although the possibility of a one-person team taking off in such a fierce battle zone where they continuously encounter famous families is very low, the difficulty is very high.

But it's not impossible to hack one or two famous players, such as scoring one point but having an ace that can shut out famous players in nine games.

Even if the ace only has the physical strength for one fierce battle, Koshien cannot shoot consecutively, but Regional Preliminaries has at least two days of rest in every game.

The protagonists in other anime, such as Kida Muramitsu, can Home Run and may keep the opponent's pitcher clean.

To be honest, the average speed throughout the whole journey is 154 to 158 kilometers, and the maximum speed is 160 kilometers. The ball control is not weak. Changeup is a monster of a hundred flowers. It is very fantasy to get a hit from him, let alone get several hits from him like in the anime.

There are less than 4200 words, so I will type a few more if I have time today. Finally, please vote. Good night everyone.
