The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

At the beginning of the game, the Qingdao High School baseball team gave a fierce disarm.

They struck out the first shot of Kuromochi, the second shot of Baizhou, and the third shot of Wang Xi.

That's right, although the first opponent is very tough.But Supervisor Kataoka didn't send out all the main forces.

The purpose of these exchange games is very clear.

Except for the last game with the Dream Team, you need to go all out.Whether it is this game against Texas, or the game against Washington afterwards.

Including the other five games against North American high schools.

The purpose of Qingdao High School is only one from beginning to end.

That is to thoroughly temper the new lineup.

Just like today, Qingdao High School did not have all the main players.

It's experimenting with various possibilities.

The little friends who were exhausted themselves encountered strong snipers from the other side at the beginning.

First is Lincoln. Regardless of the size of the young man, he is only about 1.8 meters tall.

But the intensity and speed of his pitching are not trivial.

The hitters of Qingdao didn't even catch the opponent's ball at first.

"Is it too conceited? Today is the first game, and a good start is still very important."

Coach Ochiai touched the mustache on his chin and said in a deep voice.

The players themselves are not in good condition, because they just got off the plane.

Even if they have worked on jet lag before, how can the human body clock be adjusted so easily?

If it was placed before, now this point is the time for the players to rest.

How much strength can a person display in a particularly difficult situation?

This is simply unknown.

In addition, the opponent is an extraordinary Texas team.

No matter what coach Ochiai looks at, he feels that today's game is almost like death.

...

Chapter 014

Why does this person run all the way here to play a losing game?

Although he has been working with Kataoka for almost a year, Ochiai sometimes thinks that he still doesn't understand his boss.

Kataoka is a very amazing person.

Ochiai said so, definitely not to try to flatter his boss, he really thought so from the bottom of his heart.

Ability to be a baseball coach is certainly a very important factor, but most of them are also because they have been exposed to baseball in high school and have a heartfelt love for baseball.

There are even some, after professional players retired, because they couldn't give up baseball and couldn't find a better way out, they were engaged in this field.

When I first started working in this industry, everyone's purpose was very simple.On the one hand it is to make money, on the other hand it is their hobbies.

But gradually, there will be an imbalance in these two aspects.

the reason is simple.

As a player, when playing baseball in high school, everyone just really likes baseball and pursues their dreams.

But this is the job.It's another matter.

When pursuing dreams, it is like being the boss.As long as you are capable, you are not willing to limit yourself too much.

Basically, you can do whatever you want. No one can stop you.

But to use this as a job is another matter.

Because coaches have tasks, but also responsibilities.

The school will ask for your grades and...

In this way, the coach is bound to have no way to act completely according to his own will.

After all, you are working for someone, and you can’t help but work hard, and you’re exhausted.

To put it bluntly, there is pressure from the boss above.The coach is bound to do things that he doesn't want to do but have to do.

There are even some coaches who have no moral bottom line at all, who directly squeeze all the potential of the players, ignoring the future of the players.As long as they can get good grades in high school, coaches will do everything.

Those people really don't know, how will this affect the players?

Don't be nonsense, they are all experts, who still doesn't know?

But sometimes, they have no other choice.

This is also the reason why Koshien's competition system has been questioned.

The competition was already intensive, coupled with the cruel knockout system.In order to win, the coaches are naturally willing to send more players to the field with the strongest players.

If conditions permit, they wish they could send all the strongest players on the field and let them fight until the end.

And the excessive overdraft can ruin not one or two players.

How much pain is left behind that passionate dream?

No one knows better than a practitioner like Ochiai.

A big team like Qingdao High School!

Too many players is also a big burden.However, some schools cannot restrict players from joining because of the rules and regulations.

Even so, there are still some coaches who only focus their attention on a few more potential players, and ignore the other players in the team.

In their opinion, it makes sense for them to do so.

Even before Ochiai, such a person.

After all, a person's energy is limited, it is impossible for him to waste energy on everyone.

In this way, when coaching players, it is bound to be focused, especially for teams like Qingdao High School Baseball Club where players are overcrowded.

Because no one can take care of it...

Of course, Ochiai is not denying it.

These statements are all excuses from the coach.

The main reason why they are unwilling to waste too much energy on other players is because they don't want to be responsible for extra responsibilities, and they are unrewarded.

After all, they see coaching as their job.Since it is a job, it must have its own scope of work, and of course they don’t bother to care about things beyond their scope of work.

But Supervisor Kataoka is completely different.

It is of course impossible to say that he treats all players equally.

But he has never given up on any player who is still pursuing his dream.

This alone is very commendable.

Not to mention that he is within his own abilities, trying not to consume as much of the player's potential as possible.

The training at Qingdao High School is very hard, and it is not uncommon for players to be injured because they are overwhelmed.

But Ochiai coach can guarantee.

None of them were forced by Kataoka. The players were forced by the environment, or they took the initiative to do so.

And this, even Kataoka couldn't stop it.

After all, the baseball club of Qingdao High School is a place that respects strength.

If the players are not up to the standard, even Kataoka cannot promise the players the future.

Since there is no way to promise people the future, there is naturally no way to stop them from taking the initiative to practice.

Coach Ochiai has never seen this kind of behavior before.

Don't look at Kataoka who looks very cold on weekdays, but his heart is very soft.

He is like a pure player.

At the same time, he worked hard to condense the baseball club of Qingdao High School into such a place.

As for the external pressure, he took it for these players.

"Unexpectedly, there are such stupid people in the world!"

After getting along for a period of time, when evaluating Kataoka, Ochiai coach once made such a judgment.

Judging from his thinking as an adult, Kataoka has undoubtedly paid more, and he has no need to bear the responsibility.

But deep down, what he did to Kataoka.

But with an appreciation.

This is also the reason why he was able to say that everyone came together to become a legend.

Originally, Ochiai thought he already knew something about Kataoka.

But now, watching him make this arrangement, Ochiai coach is a little confused again.

Even for the purpose of training and testing the team, is this arrangement too hasty?

People want faces, trees want bark.

It can't be said that in order to train and test the players, they completely ignore the outcome of the game.

The Qingdao High School baseball team has to play eight games in North America.

In this rhythm, they have to lose several games.

Especially the opponent in front of him.

The training system in North America is different from that in island countries.

The Texas team in front of them does not come from the same school, but is similar to the youth baseball team in Tokyo.

They are the elite of various high schools.

Some were promoted because of their outstanding performance, while others were chosen to come to this team because of family conditions.

The Texas team is a team that can really represent the level of Texas.

It is completely different from ordinary high school teams.

In the previous match between the Tokyo team and Los Angeles, Ochiai coach also watched the game video afterwards.

After watching the video of the game, he let out a long sigh.

Simply looking at the score, the Tokyo representative team seems to have a huge advantage.

The opponent is not an opponent at all.

But those who have actually watched the game, I'm afraid no one would think so.

The North American team is very strong.

The main reason why the first exchange game showed a one-sided situation was the arrangement of the supervision of the friends of the country.

He really made it out.

Let the three best pitchers on the team play a wheel battle with the players of the North American Los Angeles team.

All of them are super geniuses with outstanding talents.

If you just shoot one round, even those excellent hitters in professional baseball will not be able to beat them.

Not to mention the representatives of Los Angeles in North America?

The result is from beginning to end, from beginning to end.

Until the end, North America did not win any effective hits.

I was pressed to the ground by the Tokyo team and rubbed hard.
