"How's it going?" Coach Kataoka asked after seeing Sendou finish reading the list of Practice Match's opponents.
"Let me tell you what, I can't say!
There are so many teams here that I don't know.
First of all, I want to confirm, among these teams, is Yakushi High School the strongest?
Or are there any powerful powerful people other than pharmacists? "
"Ha!... No! Only the Medicine Master team can be called a strong team.
The rest of the teams can only be described as pretty good. "Seeing Sendou see the core of the problem at a glance, Coach Kataoka chuckled and said.
Coach Ochiai also took a closer look at the boy in front of him. Although he was not as clueless as the outside world, through his poor ball selection, he thought Sendou was the kind of player who doesn't use his brain.
But I didn't expect him to be so powerful. This level is more than enough to serve as an assistant, or even at least as a think tank.
"Since First Team is selected through actual combat and the team is quickly run-in, then Sunglasses Uncle's idea should be to use these weak teams to achieve this goal, right?
Then Yakushi High School will appear on this list, that is, if you want to play with them, it should be a final summary, a game similar to the graduation exam, right? "
"That's right!
But it hasn't been decided yet, and I don't know how far the new team will be in this short ten days.
If we look at individual abilities, our players are definitely not bad.
But there will be big problems with tacit understanding.
If you accept it, I think you will be beaten badly! "Coach Kataoka nodded and replied.
"Beautiful! This man is really powerful. Just through such a list of Practice Match and Coach Kataoka's explanation, you can see his plan.
Not at all like a fifteen-year-old boy.
"Coach Ochiai praised in his heart.
"However,..." Coach Ochiai secretly glanced at Coach Kataoka.
Because he discovered the title of Sendou, Coach Kataoka didn't react at all, and unconsciously touched his goatee.
"I want to know what you think about this!"
"Sendou! I always think the coach is too anxious!
This can easily damage the players' confidence!
So please help me too! "Head Manager Oota said.
In the previous life, there was more than a month of running-in time, and Head Manager Oota was the opposition, so naturally he was still a resolute opposition.
"My personal strength is definitely not bad... well!" Sendou said to himself in his heart.
He knew very well that Coach Kataoka was telling the truth. Seidou's players, even if they were in the second tier, were definitely not bad in terms of personal abilities.
This is not comparable to a super high school level pitcher like Narumiya Mei.
"I agree to fight Practice Match with the pharmacist!"
"Sendou!" Head Manager Oota didn't expect Sendou to say the same thing.
"What's the reason?"
"It's common for new teams to lack tacit understanding, especially for teams like ours that change players in large numbers.
Baseball is a sport that emphasizes teamwork!
Moreover, I think everyone needs a painful lesson to understand the fact that those reliable seniors are no longer there.
Wake up from the dream that Koshien champion team... we are King as soon as possible.
Some things can't really be changed just by talking about them.
And those guys won't be hit so easily.
They will only get stronger! "
"Hmm!
Remember to check again tomorrow!
Teacher Takashima will take you there! "Coach Kataoka changed the subject after listening to Sendou's words.
"Don't worry!
Then I will go back first!
I'm so sleepy! "Knowing that nothing happened, Sendou said goodbye.
He knew that Practice Match definitely didn't deserve it, so he might as well go to sleep. Koshien had really exhausted him during this time.
"That's it!
With such a man leading this team, there is nothing to worry about!
And there's also second grader Miyuki-kun here!
But Coach Kataoka, why not convince him to become the core of the team and officially take over the work of the ace four?
Although Furuya at the same level also has great potential, he is still too young compared to Sendou-kun. "After Sendou left, Coach Ochiai said.
"This kid is more stubborn than you think!
Moreover, as instructors, we must also respect the opinions of the players.
Sendou really has no interest in pitching. Instead of forcing him to play in a position he doesn't like, it's better to let him work hard in a direction he relatively likes.
Players are human beings and they should not be used like tools.
They think for themselves, and our instructors only give suggestions. This is the most efficient way. "
"In that case, what are Autumn Tournament Coach Kataoka's plans?
King in the summer can't play too poorly in the autumn games. "
"Although we won all the way through the summer with follow-up shots, the core of our winning is still the line play!!
However, although the third-year player who plays strong lanes has not retired yet, he is no longer in the team.
Therefore, we need to change our strategy, focus on defense, and strengthen defense.
Of course, the attack is centered on Sendou, and we must first cultivate a smooth scorer with stable scoring ability.
There is only more than a month left before Autumn Tournament, and Autumn Tournament Preliminaries has less than twenty days, so it can only be cultivated in actual combat like in the summer.
No matter who it is, as long as he is in good condition, I will give him a chance and let him play non-stop! "Coach Kataoka replied.
"That's it!
If the batter can get on base in front of Sendou-kun.
You can get a minimum level of points in every round of playing.
Then rely on the defensive lineup to defend the points lost and win the battle?
Although the team's strength has been greatly reduced, the core of future offense and defense can still put together a very strong foundation! "Coach Ochiai thought to himself.
As for Autumn Tournament Qualifier, they really didn't take it to heart.
In the previous life, Inajitsu, these qualifiers were the time, but Narumiya Mei didn't appear in a single game.
Sendou, who left Supervisor's Room, walked back to the dormitory with a sleepy look on his face.
At this time, the phone rang, indicating that a message was coming.
So I guess it was from a certain white-haired person.
The content is probably,
"Congratulations! Becoming Japan's Number One!
I leave summer to you, but not the following autumn or next summer!
At that time it's time for us to become Japan's Number One! "
It was obviously a congratulations text message, but it turned out to be different when it was sent by Narumiya Mei.
Sendou curled his lips when he saw the word "give".
It's obviously because of someone's blessing, and your new team formation is also very bad, how dare you say such nonsense.
Just like Seidou and Kyoma, these teams are just decorations.
However, Sendou was very sleepy now and didn't want to get to know him, so he put away his phone and ignored him.
Three seconds later, Narumiya Mei sent another one.
Not only that, after Sendou ignored it again, this guy who wanted to die sent it a third time.
Sendou picked up the phone and started tapping it. The content was extremely bloody and violent.
Anyway, Narumiya Mei spent the next week running around Sports Field, calling Sendou a bastard.
Although I finished this chapter today, I personally don't feel very good about it.
I feel sleepy at this time as I am tired from something today.
Whether I can make up the two thousand words I owe today depends on the actual situation. I feel a little irritated when I think that I may owe another day...
