As practice continued, the pitchers maintained a very good performance.
Sawamura has largely remained the same, but his Inside Corner Ball have gradually begun to show a more stable trend.
Furuya is getting better and better, and the Fastball is beginning to show signs of being controlled.
The number of high-arcing Ball Trajectory is decreasing, and even Fast Forkball are gradually converging towards the Strike Zone.
This is a very scary thing. Whether it's Inajitsu, Saiho, or Kiryu, their strategies for dealing with Furuya are all pretty much the same.
Completely abandon high and low Ball Trajectory, and aim for the occasional easy straight shot.
However, this technique completely fails when his fastballs become more consistent, he starts to lower them, and his Fast Forkball begin to enter the Strike Zone.
Just like Coach Ochiai said in his previous life, if both the Jianggu can consistently meet the standards.
That would make him an unparalleled monster.
Although he hasn't reached that level yet, he has shown signs of evolving in that direction.
However, this guy is also a conditional player; when he's in good form, he's invincible, and when he's out of form, he gets eliminated easily.
Therefore, given his recent form, Seidou is quite confident of winning the upcoming Practice Match.
However, this is of no use. Winning or losing in Practice Match is not important; what is important is to make adjustments.
Although there are still some issues with the details of the defensive coordination, overall, the defensive ability is not much worse than in the summer.
Of course, this is all thanks to Furuya's recent form, but a big reason is that Sawamura's ball control has become more stable.
The pitching duo of Kawakami and Kawashima, despite giving up three points in one game, ultimately came back to win 4-3.
The Seidou Double Pitcher duo shut out their opponents in both games.
Even with a poor performance from the opposing team, they still managed to secure a victory.
It can be said that without comparison, there is no harm.
"You bunch of bastards!!!"
I haven't scored many points in recent Practice Match!
Swing the bat like crazy before your hands start peeling!
Should I hold a baseball bat and supervise you guys?
Are you guys so weak now that the Sendou is gone?
Moreover, the few games we won relatively easily were entirely due to the first-year students!
You guys better have some respect for your seniors, you bastards!!
People say that the first-year students at Seidou School are the Super Diamond Generation, are you just going to sit back and quietly rely on others instead of working hard?
Do you want people to say that without the third-year players Sendou, the strongest Seidou Batting Lineup in the country, Seido, has become incredibly weak, even worse than third-rate?!
What Captain and Vice-Captain, what leading the team to victory, it's all bullshit!
You bunch of bastards might as well just give up all your seats to the first-year students!
The third batter goes to Koharu, the fifth to Furuya, and then Sendou drags his injured body onto the field. I think this arrangement can score a few more points.
You bunch of big bastards!!!
After the fourth Practice Match, before Sendou could even unleash his power, it was Isashiki-senpai who couldn't take it anymore.
That evening, after dinner, Isashiki-senpai stood outside the cafeteria, hands on the door, head sticking in, and launched into a tirade against everyone. ( Sendou's presence had taught everyone, to varying degrees, some Chinese slang, like "bullshit!")
Jun-san's preparatory movement was like a heavy machine gun being thrust in from outside the door, firing a barrage of shots.
After he finished yelling, he closed the cafeteria door and left, not wanting to hear any response from these people.
"Hey...! Jun-san...!"
Is it a bit too much to describe me as a crippled body?
..."
Sendou spoke in a soft humming tone, each word uttered in a single, drawn-out syllable, as he extended his right hand in a gesture of pleading, facing the closed, empty cafeteria door, powerless to refute.
Extending the right hand is partly due to an injury to the left hand, and partly a sign of good sportsmanship for athletes to protect their dominant hand.
Knowing this, Sendou always used his right hand in his daily life.
Putting aside personal preferences, Sendou is very skilled in this regard, paying close attention to details when performing actions.
However, he was now completely powerless. After Isashiki-senpai finished her attack, she ran away without noticing that there was something wrong with the adjective.
Even if Sendou is incredibly eloquent, he can't do anything if someone runs away after saying what they want without listening to any explanation.
Otherwise, this guy would definitely have argued properly that his body wasn't disabled, but perfectly healthy.
However, for safety reasons, it will take a little time for it to fully heal and recover.
Isashiki-senpai's words made Sendou believe that he was disabled.
At this moment, no one noticed how powerless Sendou's expression was.
No, there were a few girls in Furuya. The girls were just shocked by Isashiki-senpai's outburst, and then they were amused by Sendou's actions.
Furuya, that Natural Airhead, goes without saying.
He had been observing and imitating Sawamura and Sendou, the two people he admired.
At this moment, the second-year seniors were completely bewildered by Isashiki-senpai's scolding, and were still immersed in the words Isashiki-senpai had just spoken.
My head was spinning as I carefully considered what Isashiki-senpai had said.
After they finished savoring it, they were filled with endless shame and resentment.
They deeply resented their own performance and weakness.
He deeply resented the various foolish judgments and instinctive reactions he had made in the previous four matches.
The most typical example is Maezono, who himself doesn't know why he always accidentally hits the outer corner Changeup.
However, even when he tried, he couldn't hit the ball properly, just Ground Ball and strikeouts!
Can you believe this guy has a batting average of only 10%?
After this farce, everyone was much more focused on training the next day.
Everyone was assigned a task and constantly thinking about it while practicing.
Isashiki-senpai's words from last night were like a spur, constantly echoing in their minds.
Then they combined their poor performance over the past few days with actions they regretted.
He was torturing himself madly.
Meanwhile, Sendou joined the third-year team, watching them practice and offering his critique of the new team.
They were ranting and raving about Sendou in the new team with Isashiki-senpai, not caring whether the others could hear them or not, they were just having a good time.
In his words, watching the third-year seniors practice was much more comfortable than watching them practice; now, watching the new team practice just makes him angry.
Although everyone knows that his fever might not actually be real, he is definitely depressed.
Even if Sendou is a Natural Airhead, he couldn't possibly be unaware that if this group continues to underperform, he really won't have a gaming experience starting from the Autumn Tournament.
Not to mention, this guy's brains are the team's brains.
My condition is really bad! I'm behind on today's update. Let me explain.
I only managed to finish half of yesterday's chapter at this hour. First of all, I admit my mistake. I don't know what happened today. I was so distracted that I thought it was only a few minutes, but when I checked the time, I realized that two hours had passed. I'm going crazy.
I don't dare to write today, afraid that there will be problems with the content. A few days ago, I wrote 600 words in two hours to cover the missing stamp, but when I looked at it the next day, it was all a mess and I had to start from scratch.
So I'll make it up tomorrow, please understand.
