Chapter 112: Memories of Akagi

The players of Xinglong High School, compared to most of the young players on the Qingdao High School baseball team, are just stats one by one.

Although they played against each other before, it was last summer.

But Qihai at that time was obviously beaten to pieces by the seniors of the Qingdao High School baseball team in the third grade.

Tetsuya Yuki, Ryosuke Kominato, Jun Isashiki...

Plus Sawamura and Chris!

Who can resist such a luxurious line-up?

The Xinglong High School at that time was nothing more than a rookie in the Jiashien arena. For the atmosphere of the entire stadium, it is also a state of experience.

It was only natural that they would be defeated when they met the Qingdao High School baseball team, whose batting strength had exploded at that time.

Now that things have passed for so long, I won't talk about how much they have grown.

As far as the Qingdao High School baseball team is concerned, since the seniors of the last third grade retired, their hitting strength, or simply their offensive ability.

was greatly affected.

Although it still has the strike power of the national level.

In the case where the opponent does not avoid the confrontation with Sawamura and Miyuki, the hitting strength of the Seidou High School baseball team has to be raised to a higher level.

Possesses the top attack capability in the country.

But the offensive ability they have now is not a bit worse than they were last year.

Last year's Qingdao High School baseball team, when it comes to their offensive strength, they were all monsters.

Most importantly, the Qingdao High School baseball team at that time had several offensive scoring points.

Almost every position can contribute its own strength when the team is attacking.

In contrast, the current Seido High School baseball team.

There are only two remaining stable scoring points.

One is Sawamura and Miyuki.

The other one is Kuramo Hit Base.

Compared with other teams in the country, Qingdao, which has two fixed scoring points, is definitely not weak.

But compared with last year's Qingdao, the gap must be huge.

Qingdao at that time.

Kuramochi, Kominato Ryosuke, Isashiki Jun, Yuuki Tetsuya, Sawamura, Chris...

Players in each position can independently act as the main attack force.

With mutual cooperation, the strength has grown exponentially.

Not like now.

The opponent only needs to avoid Kuramochi's hit.

Then he can face the Qingdao High School baseball team and the remaining attackers with a leisurely attitude.

If it can be solved, it will be solved. If it cannot be resolved, it may not be impossible to send the other party.

As long as you put on your face and get entangled with the Qingdao High School baseball team, it's not unthinkable.

Of course want to do this.

The pitcher must also have a certain strength.

If the opponent's strength is average, there is no need for Sawamura and Miyuki to make a move.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are not just for nothing, they can still score points.

But the problem is,

At the level of the quarterfinals of Koshien, which team's ace pitcher is there? Like Kiyomisha's trump card, it is not powerful.

Counting on my fingers, the teams that can reach the quarterfinals are basically old friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team. Among these old friends, there may be two current aces who are also not very good. Like Kiryu Osaka, this is the situation today.

The third-year pitcher before them graduated, and the ace on the field now is obviously not as domineering as before.

If it wasn't for their deep background, their attacking strength would be strong.

Coupled with good luck, there was not too much resistance in the group.

Their team, I am afraid it will be difficult to play until now.

As for the remaining teams, no matter Kagoshima or Didong, they all have good trump cards.

Others, like Masamune Hongo of the Troll Dai Fujimaki High School baseball team, Akutsu of Seibang...

These are the top pitchers in the country.

Although Bailong's Wang Ye was a bit weaker, he cooperated with their team's defense.

White Dragon can also play the same effect as the top pitchers.

The strength of the Qingdao High School baseball team is certainly strong, and it ranks first among all the teams.

But the Qingdao High School baseball team is also a team with a particularly distinctive style.

Qingdao is not a balanced development.

It's a team with shooting as the core.

In this respect, Qingdao High School baseball team is well-deserved number one, no other team can compare with them.

Not to mention a single team, even if the best pitchers and catchers other than the two of them are gathered together, the threat is definitely not as good as the cooperation of the two of them.

One of them is the No. 1 pitcher in the country, the other is the No. 1 catcher in the country, and they form a team, and they have cooperated for so many years...

It would be strange to say that their strength is not strong.

Speaking of defensive strength, the cooperation of the two of them, together with the fielders of the Qingdao High School baseball team, is also very strong.

Qingdao High School has now become the most tightly defended team.

If they really have the heart, they can actually block their opponents in many games.

It means that no one is allowed to score a hit, and no one is allowed to score.

Not only is the main force strong, but the pitching line of the Qingdao High School baseball team should not be underestimated either.

Jiang Guxiao, Chuan Shang, Wang Xi...

So even if the ace of Sawamura Eijun did not appear, their defensive strength is still very strong.

This is the strength of the Seido High School baseball team.

Since there are advantages, there must also be disadvantages.

This is about the offense of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Compared with their unparalleled defense that day, the offensive strength of the Qingdao High School baseball team, even among all the giants, is not ranked in the top three.

It's not that they are not weak, it's just compared with their title of king.

Their offensive strength obviously cannot reach this level.

This is also the reason why Qingdao High School's baseball team often falls into a stalemate when they play against their opponents.

Even if the opponent is really stronger than the Seido baseball team, like the North American Dream Team.

It is not an easy task for them to conquer the shooting partner formed by Sawamura and Miyuki Kazuya.

So the game will often be dragged into a protracted battle.

This also happens when the Seido High baseball team has the upper hand.

Because their line play is not violent enough, and if the opponent is strong enough, they can deal with it calmly.

Then it is difficult for Qingdao High School baseball team to score too many points.

This is the characteristic of the Seido High School baseball team.

With such characteristics, he can still win the title of king.

This has to be said to be the glory of the previous Qingdao High School baseball team.

That year, the Qingdao High School baseball team was well-deservedly number one in the country in terms of offensive strength and defensive strength.

During the game, the opponent is often defeated.

That's why he won the title of king.

This name also means that no matter who it is, they can only end in embarrassment when they meet the Qingdao High School baseball team.

If you just look at their performance this year, if you insist that you are the king, it is obviously a little bit of gold on your face.

They are not qualified to be called kings purely by strength.

All they can rely on is grades.

If relying on strength alone cannot convince all opponents, then they will fight one game at a time until everyone is convinced.

Win the championship and dominate the country.

This is another path that Qingdao High School baseball team can choose.

It is also a path that my friends are walking.

Sawamura Eijun was tossing and turning in the room by himself.

These things kept appearing in his mind and echoing in his mind.

He doesn't know, when is the end?

However, he is confident that he can accomplish this miracle together with his friends from the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Before going to sleep, Sawamura Eijun's thoughts kept drifting away.

He seems to have returned to the days when he played baseball with his friends from the Akagi Middle School baseball team two or three years ago.

Although those little guys, none of them are worry-free.

All of them have their own problems, and just solving these problems every day is enough to make Sawamura Eijun burnt out.

For this, he even adjusted his training time.

Although the overall training time has not been reduced, it is because it cannot be on time.

The effect is inevitably discounted a bit.

For Sawamura Eijun, who is determined to enter the major leagues, this is not a big loss!

At that time, Sawamura Eijun was also troubled, spending time in complicated affairs every day.

What a waste of time.

Looking back now, I don't feel regretful.

On the contrary, there is still a bit of nostalgia.
