The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

Glancing admiringly at his leading teacher, Sawamura stretched out his thumb and said to Sano, "The teacher is really smart!"

"There~"

Sano touched his forehead shyly, there are still a few sparse hairs on it.

Wait, saying that you are extremely smart, don't you laugh at yourself for not having much hair?

"You bastard, stop for me!"

Sano was furious and prepared to settle accounts with Sawamura, but there was Sawamura's shadow in front of him.

After Sawamura returned to the activity room of the baseball club, he discussed with Fengxiang, Oda, and Cang Yue, and decided to convene everyone for a meeting and give everyone an ideological and political lesson.

For a team to go far, it is not enough to rely on strength alone, and the mind has to keep up.What Zecun has to do now is to help everyone unify their thinking.

Tuesday night, after the team training.

"Don't hurry up, everyone, let's discuss the team's future goals."

Zecun took the initiative to propose.

My friends, their faces are very heavy.According to previous habits, more than a dozen people surrounded the city in a large semicircle and sat on the ground in the playground.

Zecun is on the opposite side of the circle, and he can clearly see each of his friends.

Feng Xiang, Oda and Cang Yue have always been very positive.Zecun’s hairpin was very calm because he spent a long time with Zecun. Perhaps in their opinion, it was necessary to cause trouble to Zecun.

They didn't want to play baseball. It was Sawamura students who forced them to join, and they also helped Sawamura.

The unusual performance is Yamaguchi and Fengliang.

When playing against Shilun, the two made more mistakes.The wind is better, Yamaguchi has made several mistakes.

It is the same now, the two bowed their heads and did not speak.

Zecun sighed in his heart, and the scenes of his previous life kept appearing in his mind.Yamaguchi and the wind were cool, but the two most active people in the team!

"We won the last game. We haven't celebrated yet, so I owe you all. When the two games on the weekend are won, we will have a big meal together and celebrate."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Zecun pretended to say lightly.

Cang Yue's pink face immediately changed: "Speaking lightly, do you still have money?"

Zecun's face was flushed when he was questioned. The pocket money given by the family and the funds from the principal made him spend a long time ago. He has been eating Cangyue recently, and his pocket is much cleaner than his face.

"It's okay, it's okay! I'll take Mr. Sano. Anyway, he is also our team leader. Our competition training is so hard, I think he is willing to pay generously."

Sano: My wallet is already crying.

"Hahaha~"

A relaxed topic, all at once brought back the feelings of the team before.

Yamaguchi and Fengliang also laughed. At this time, Zecun, who was sitting opposite them, was still Zecun, and they were not changed because of their lack of strength.

Zecun let out a sigh of relief.

Yamaguchi and Fengliang's heart are extremely fragile and sensitive.Because of physical and voice defects, the two have been alienated by people around them.They finally joined a team and naturally did not want to be treated the same as before.

That's why, Feng Xiang wanted to reprimand them directly before, but Zecun would stop it.

If it was Nakagawa Shin's stinky shamelessness, Sawamura might just do it directly, and there will be slurs?

"Before, I said I would lead everyone to the national competition!"

Zecun had said this before, but no one cared about it at the time.The whole country, that's the whole country, not children playing house.When the upper lip touches the lower lip, who can brag?

But now, everyone doesn't think so.

Sawamura really showed them enough strength, the strength of a national-level pitcher.

This is said to be bragging by those without strength, but it is different for those with strength, which is called lofty ambition.

"But I can't do baseball alone, so I need everyone's help. I hope everyone can help me so that we can make it to the national championship together."

When Sawamura said these words sincerely, Akagi's friends, whether it was Sawamura's former childhood friend, or who joined later, were very moved.Seeing that the meeting must be expressed with Zecun’s aspirations, when it ends successfully.Someone came out to release Lengjian.

"If you really aim at the national competition, wouldn't it be better if you join a strong team?"

Oda frowned and asked.

He had been puzzled for a long time before.Ordinarily, Sawamura has such strength, if he is really dedicated to pursuing his dream, he should go to a stronger place.Even if you don't go to big cities like Tokyo and Osaka, you should at least go to Nagano Metropolitan Government!

After all, Nagano Metropolis is the real cradle of baseball talents in Nagano.

Sawamura smiled bitterly. Of course he has an answer to this question.But this answer, he couldn't say it.

He can't tell his friends: "I was born again, so I came here to take you to pretend, and to fly..."

It is estimated that if he really said that, he would be sent directly to a neurological hospital by a doctor.There, those who travel through, those who are reborn, and those who travel to the earth from outer space, are there.

After hesitating for two seconds, Sawamura said in a low voice, "Because we are a team!"

Chapter 023 Ten Fingers

"Because we are a team!"

This sentence did not answer Oda's question directly, but it was extremely heartwarming.

Sawamura, like them, is a member of the Akagi Middle School baseball team.

"With good training facilities, great companions, and professional guidance, such a team will of course be very strong. If I go there, I might be more hopeful to enter the national stage. But is that really baseball?"

"In my opinion, as long as you have a glove, a bat, and a companion, you can play baseball. Even if you are successful, if you don't have a buddy, what is the meaning of success? So, I want to join you in the country. Show those strong teams, the power of our dreams!"

In this passage, Sawamura said sincerely.

In his previous life, because he had been pursuing his dreams, he had neglected to contact his little friends in the countryside.

In this life, he will never do this again!

"Woo~oooo~"

Yamaguchi cried with emotion, and all the friends around him blushed.

Obviously, Zecun's remarks came to their hearts.

"Don't cry, show a bit of manliness."

Zecun encouraged with a smile.

Fengxiang and Oda looked at each other, and they felt inexplicably loose.

At first, they refused the invitation of Nagano Metropolitan Government, so it was because they could not understand the style of Nagano Metropolitan Government.

People are not frivolous and vain!

With the identity of a weed like Akagi Middle School, to challenge the flowers all over the world, it looks so overwhelming?But if young people don't even have the courage to break the world, how can they create miracles?

"But, I'm afraid I will hold everyone back!"

Yamaguchi said.

He finally opened his heart to Zecun and his friends.

"What are you afraid of, a team is like a person's ten fingers. These ten fingers are long and short, and they perform their duties. They are flexible hands. Don't make yourself humble because you are shorter than others. Just like. You, you are the thumb of our Akagi. Although it looks the shortest, it may be the most useful."

Sawamura smiled and comforted. At the same time, he didn't forget to tease his partner.

"Look at our longest one, Senior Feng Xiang. It seems that he is the strongest one in our team. But if you stick him out alone, you will definitely be crushed by the crowd."

"Fuck you! You are the longest one, right?"

Feng Xiang immediately understood Zecun's meaning, smiled and stood up and kicked him.

Sawamura dodged lightly, and said with a smile, "How can I be a finger, I am a palm. I am the palm that takes you to fly!"

The two ran up on the playground while they were playing.

Yamaguchi looked dumbfounded.

Just now, what Zecun and Feng Xiang said, he understood every word very well, but they were connected together, why was he a little confused?

"What did Zecun and Fengxiang seniors say?"

Ask if you don't understand, Yamaguchi wiped away the tears in his eyes and asked when looking at the wind.

Feng Liang looked at Yamaguchi's pure face, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart, but he still kindly explained, "Of the ten fingers, which finger is the longest?"

Yamaguchi heard this and looked at his finger, the longest of course was the middle finger.

"You stretch him out alone!"

Fengliang continued.

Yamaguchi Yiyan stretched out the middle finger alone.

"Damn!"

Unexpectedly, Zecun and Fengxiang were such old drivers, and they drove if they were not paying attention.

After the fight was over, everyone sat together again.

At this time, without knowing it, the goal of the Akagi Middle School baseball team was determined.

"Help Zecun to enter the national competition!"

Why did they help Zecun instead of entering the national competition?

In this, Sawamura was also moved.For some of his own Faxiao and Yamaguchi, it is too far for them to enter the country.If this is the case, in their view, they have not achieved the desired goal at all, and they may give up after two days.

But helping Zecun is different, they just need to do their best.The remaining success or failure depends on Zecun's own.

This is equivalent to Zecun resisting all the pressure to enter the country.Of course, this is not a pressure for him.

For this, Mr. Sano has doubts: "Pressure is motivation. Wouldn't it be better for Yamaguchi to carry this pressure on their own? Maybe they will work harder."

Zecun immediately shook his head.

He knows his little friends too well, they have never had such high ideals in baseball.Such pressure is not only not motivation for them, it may become poison.

Really target the whole country.Yamaguchi, Nakagawa, and Koyamazaki are not that piece of material at all.

Rather than let them bear the pressure, it is better to help Zecun, and they can play more easily.

Wait for the game to win, after their confidence comes out!

Zecun will transfer these pressures to themselves and let them carry them on their own.

Once you have a goal, it is for practice.

"There are two basic exercises in baseball, one is passing and receiving the ball, the other is swinging. Neither of these can be improved overnight. Everyone can only practice hard day after day to achieve results. Starting today, we will practice these two more. In addition to the two and a half hours of practice, we will practice 100 passes and catches before the practice, and 100 swings after the practice."

This kind of training is relatively easy for everyone.Everyone started to practice these two things according to Zecun's request.

At the same time, in the remaining few days of the week, Sawamura deliberately let his friends practice the defense of the high fly ball.

In a baseball game, the goofy ball looks very cool to catch and kill.In fact, of all the defenses, it is the easiest to practice results.

Keep the ball high and then catch it.Then the substitution keeps the ball high and the other catches it.

This kind of practice is not boring at all, and once they are familiar with it, their success rate in catching high flying balls immediately increases.

For the next game, Sawamura asked everyone to do a special practice.

He has predicted how his opponent will deal with himself in the next game.

In fact, this is not difficult to guess, Shilun had already fully exposed Akagi's weakness before.The game that day ended in seven rounds. If the game reaches nine rounds, it is hard to say who will win in the end.

So Sawamura expected that their opponents in the next game would definitely use their big sticks to greet him out into the field.

In this way, if Akagi wants to win, he must overcome his weakness of being unable to fly high.

At this time, Zecun was a little upset.Before, he was all about letting everyone feel the charm of baseball. He practiced loosely, and he hadn't done any targeted defense practice.Otherwise, you won't be frightened by the goofy ball in the field.
