Bab 45: chapter 44:
The other side.
Coach Kataoka and Coach Matsumoto are blowing each other commercially.
"Oops!"
"Today's game really benefited us a lot!"
Coach Matsumoto shook hands with Coach Kataoka with a smiling face.
Kataoka: "Wherever we are, we have benefited a lot!" "
Matsumoto: "But Coach Kataoka, I really envy you!" "
"In the first grade, there are three monster pitchers!"
"In that practice game in the morning, the kid who gave us a penny was too strong!"
"It's even more monster than a monster!"
"The left pitcher who came on afterwards, although occasionally very amateurish, were also full of their own characteristics!"
"As for the high-speed pitcher who came on the field in the afternoon, although the ball control is not very good, if you raise the ball to a certain level, it is quite scary!"
Hearsay.
Kataoka showed a rare smile: "Having said that, compared to Asad, Sawamura and Furuya actually have a lot to be desired. "
Coach Matsumoto smiled and said, "Haha~ Brother Kataoka is really strict!" "
"Anyway..."
"This match is also a good thrill for our players!"
"Next time....."
"Let's fight in Koshien!"
Kataoka nodded: "Good!" "
Matsumoto: "Gone! "
The words fell.
Coach Matsumoto turned to the Kiryu members and said, "I'm going to Kanagawa tomorrow!" "
"You all cheer me up!"
Kiryu everyone: "Yes!" "
...
After sending off Osaka Kiryu.
Coach Kataoka called all the team members to the cafeteria for a meeting.
He stood at the front and said in a deep voice:
"There are two games tomorrow!"
"First game, Kawakami starts!"
"Huh?"
Kawakami was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded, "Yes!" "
Kataoka nodded.
Suddenly, his gaze wandered between Sawamura and Furuya.
As for Asad?
Kataoka felt no need to put him on the pitcher's mound.
First, Asad's strength is very strong, and his combat awareness is quite mature.
The second is tomorrow's practice match opponents, who, like Seido, belong to the West Tokyo.
In order to avoid spies gathering intelligence.
So it's normal to hide your trump cards.
Of course.
Although Asad is not allowed to pitch the hill.
But after the match starts, Kataoka will still let Asad be active as a fielder on the field.
After all!
Asad's strike ability is so strong, it will be in vain if you don't need to!
...
Kataoka hesitated, and then said to Furuya: "In the second game, Furuya starts first!" "
For Kataoka.
Although he lost more points than Sawamura.
The content of Furuya's pitch is too scary.
Or rather.
If it weren't for the help of Asad and Masuko and others, it is estimated that Sawamura's lost points would not be less!
And compared to Sawamura...
The high-speed ball of the Furuya is even more reassuring!
Just refine a little more...
Raise ball control...
Furuya can become the second trump card of seido!
"Taking into account the exhaustion of the body."
"Kawakami, Furuya, the two of you will each vote."
"No problem, right?"
Heard Kataoka's inquiry.
Kawakami shouted, "Yes!" "
And Furuya fell into a state of mental battle to strike out all tomorrow opponent's, and he muttered: "Yes..."
It's not just him.
Sawamura also fell into the same symptoms.
This caused the two of them to lose even the desire to eat.
Sitting next to Kominato, Haruichi.
Seeing that Furuya and Sawamura didn't move their chopsticks much.
Can't help but ask, "Eh... Neither of you ate much..."
Asad, who was sitting on the other side of the small pocket, said while enjoying the food: "After finishing the hellish training, I put all my energy into the competition. "
"So, it's normal for the two of them to be extremely tired now, and they have no appetite."
Kominato, Haruichi turned his head and looked at Asad's relaxed appearance, quite curious: "Then why are you okay?" "
Asad shrugged: "My willpower is much stronger than theirs, so even if I am very tired, it will not matter." "
Hear this sentence.
Sawamura and Furuya were eager to refute.
But...
This is a fact...
So there is no confidence in rebuttal ...
"So tired!"
"I really want to sleep!"
Sawamura lowered his head and muttered slightly decadently: "Is this the pressure from the First team Pitcher Mound?" "
Hearsay.
Kominato Haruichi chuckled, "You two worked hard!" "
Furuya suddenly said, "Who works harder?" Be honest! "
Kominato, Haruichi was stunned: "Huh? "
Sawamura: "Be specific!" "
After listening to it, Kominato, Haruichi was a little crying and laughing.
He didn't expect these two to be so naïve, and this matter had to be competed for.
"Hmm..."
"Anyway, I envy you guys who can play..."
"You know."
"I didn't even get a chance to play."
Kominato Haruichi said with a smile.
"Ugh!"
Sawamura and Furuya were taken aback.
"Yes... Sorry, Kominato, Haruichi, we didn't mean that! "
Sawamura apologized in a panic, and at the same time pushed his own food in front of Kominato: "This is for you, forgive me!" "
Furuya learned a like: "Mine is also for you!" "
Kominato Haruichi cried and laughed: "Do you want me to die?" "
...
The other side.
After Coach Kataoka left the cafeteria.
Call Kenta Maezono, a second-year member, to the front.
Kenta Maezono.
Share a bedroom with Kominato Haruichi.
The swing is powerful, but the striking technique is weak.
The first meeting gives a more vicious impression, but in fact, the personality is very solid.
When Sawamura was selected for the First team, other second-year team members expressed disapproval, but Maezono reprimanded those who did not agree.
And said that instead of caring for Sawamura, it is better to increase his strength.
"How's the game?"
Kataoka asked straight to the point.
Today is the time for the fourth round (semifinals) of the Kanto conference.
But Kataoka felt.
The gains gained by the First team participating in the Kanto Tournament are far less than the practice match with Kiryu Osaka.
So.
Kataoka left the first team at school to face Kiryu Osaka.
As for the semifinals of the Kanto Conference, the second team was sent.
"I'm sorry..."
"We lost..."
Kenta Maezono replied guiltily.
"Lost?"
"I see."
Kataoka nodded, then turned to leave.
For the achievements of the Second team, he actually did not have expectations from the beginning.
After all, although the gold content of the Kanto Conference is low, the strength of the participating teams is not as good as Kiryu.
But if you want to defeat seido's second team lineup, it is still very easy.
But.
Since they all sent the Second team over, they must still ask.
"..."
Kenta Maezono looked at the back of Coach Kataoka, his fists clenched, and his expression was full of unwillingness.
If...
If he plays one more hit in today's game...
Then you can reverse the score!
Qualify for the finals!
By then!
It will definitely leave a good impression in the minds of the coach!
Even if you can't join the First team this year, you can definitely do it next year!
Pity...
It's all just if...
