The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

"Training for two hours a day?"

"Train once every two days, one hour and forty minutes at a time."

In other words, an average day is not even an hour.

When he heard this answer, Sawamura Eijun looked incredulous.

When the news was passed on to Ochiai's coach, Ochiai was also surprised.

This kind of thing is almost unthinkable in an island country as long as it is a team that can play.

Of course, a team like that kind of game ticket may not even have formal training, that's another matter.

But any team that can reach the top 16 or even the top 8 in this area of ​​Tokyo.

The training time is not short.

Generally speaking, it can last for two or three hours a day.

Except for studying, the rest of the time is almost spent playing baseball.

It's not just baseball, but other club sports are the same.

Not to mention those who have scores, even if they are not, the amount of training for one or two hours a day is not a problem.

Like the Qingdao High School baseball team, a wealthy team that targets professional players and matches the quasi-professional team.

The training time is even more.

Even if it is not a training camp, it is not Saturday and Sunday.

Under normal class conditions.

The baseball players of Qingdao High School also get up at 5:30.

Then start running, hitting exercises and so on.

Breakfast starts at seven.

After school in the afternoon, players in the baseball club usually take one class in advance.(In the absence of regular courses or exams.)

That is to say, practice starts at four o'clock in the afternoon.

According to the urination of the Qingdao High School baseball team, they generally train until dark.

The specific time is not fixed, because it is not always the dark time of winter and summer.

Even in winter, training until six o'clock, half past six is ​​commonplace.

Not to mention summer, sometimes in summer, I will train until 7 o'clock, or even 7:30.

Then I went to dinner.

Players in the baseball club don’t have to worry about not having dinner.

In the Qingdao High School baseball team, they have a special cafeteria.When does the training end and when does the meal start.

The players themselves have a tradition of additional training, that is, after dinner after regular training, everyone will usually practice for an additional hour or two.

Even if you don’t consider these, just the regular training time.

From one and a half hours in the morning to 2 to 3 hours in the afternoon.

Players on the Qingdao High School baseball team train for an average of four or five hours a day.

Although the training intensity is not as great as that of professional players, this training time is already very close to that of professional players.

To put it bluntly, for baseball, one of these players in the Baseball Club of Qingdao High School counts as one, and they are all professional.

Perhaps it is limited by differences in personal talent and race.

There are many players on the Qingdo High School baseball team who are not particularly good.

However, there is a saying that stupid birds fly into the forest early and can make up for their clumsiness with diligence.

For the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, no matter how they are, they are not the same as the abc high school baseball team that plays a ticket.

"No wonder the strength gap between the two sides is so big!"

When Ochiai told Rei Takashima and Kataoka these things, they suddenly realized.

They are preconceived.

I think the quarterfinals at the regional level should be at least as good as the quarterfinals in Tokyo.

They missed the difference between the two countries.

Baseball in island countries is a nationwide system, while baseball in North America is an elite system.

Under the elite system, those who are superb are naturally superb, and those who are not strong are particularly not good.

If this is not the case, how can a team like abc college make it into the regional quarterfinals?

"In this way, wouldn't all our plans be miscalculated."

Rei Takashima looked at the match watch in his hand and frowned.

In the eight practice games, only three are regional representatives, that is, professional teams.

Most of the others are ordinary high schools.

Looking at it this way, the full playlist they originally arranged is now a complete joke.

In terms of the level of the Qingdao High School baseball team, it doesn't make any sense to play against an ordinary high school in North America.

The players are just playing performance.

It's hard to tell who is really stronger?

"Go and talk to Mr. Robert. It doesn't matter if you cancel the two high school matches, you will add another chance to play against the regional representatives."

"Will this be bad?"

Ochiai said in embarrassment.

The personalities of islanders are somewhat rigid, and things that have already been decided will not easily be changed.

"Nothing bad!"

Takashima slapped the table heavily, picked up the match table in his hand and left.

Regardless of being a woman, Rei Takashima is not the kind of person to follow the rules.

As long as it is beneficial to the Qingdao High School baseball team, she doesn't mind bothering others.

Ochiai also had nothing to say about this. After Rei Takashima left, he turned to ask Kataoka.

"Follow our plan!"

Kataoka said.

When speaking, Kataoka's tone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

In fact, even he felt that such a game was really meaningless.

Let them play a professional team with some amateur teams.

No matter how you think about this matter, it will inevitably make people angry.

But the game regulations have been finalized, and they discussed with Robert before.

If you change rashly, you will be a little unruly.

So even if it feels like this game, it doesn't mean much.

Qingdao High School also plans to continue the comparison.

"This kind of competition is not without gain. Although there is no way to cultivate the players' ability to struggle in adversity, it is still clear who performs well and who performs better.

Perhaps seeing the loss of Supervisor Kataoka, Ochiai took the initiative to change the subject.

He then placed a piece of paper in front of Supervisor Kataoka.

What is recorded on this piece of paper is the performance of the nine players on the field.

The opponent's strength is indeed a bit average, but can entangle with the bench of the Qingdao High School baseball team until the fourth game.

Their strength is not completely without reference value.

It still poses a little threat to certain players in the baseball club of Qingdao High School.

Under this threat, who can perform better can indeed be seen.

The first thing that caught your eye was Jiang Gu Xiao.

Two home runs, one long hit!A total of five points were scored.

Pitched two four-bad shots, missed one hit, and didn't lose points.

Also scored 14 strikeouts at the same time!!

This kind of performance is among the benches of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Definitely second to none.

If it weren't for the absolute trump card of Sawamura Eijun in the team, Ochiai even thought Akatsuki was qualified to be the trump card of Aodo High School.

Although this little guy didn't really get into baseball until he entered high school.

It’s just over a year now.

But even so, Jiang Gu Xiao's strength is still beyond doubt.

His ability has already far surpassed the senior Kawakami who voted for himself.

For Akatsuki's outstanding performance, Supervisor Kataoka was obviously mentally prepared.

So the performance is not very surprised.

What surprised Mr. Kataoka was the second one.

One home run, two long outfielders.

After his outstanding performance in the previous game, in this game, Yuki Masaji's performance was once again impressive.

Although in today’s game, Wang Xi, Yujing Xun, Gao Jin...

The performance of these players is also very good, remarkable.

But compared with Yuuki General Si, they still have a gap.

Originally among the freshmen, he was not the most eye-catching general.

In these two games, there has been a radical improvement.

It's hard to ask Kataoka to oversee it.

A total of 18 points were scored, and Jiang Gu Xiao scored five points.

Yucheng scored four points for Si.

The two of them accounted for half of the total score.

Therefore, it is not all their personal credit to score so many points.

But when needed, send your teammates back to home base safely.

This in itself is also a strong fight, a particularly precious quality.

For nothing else, just these two games.

There is no doubt that General Yucheng has this quality.

...

Episode 045

Even if I feel so tired and crooked, there is still no way to shirk the game.

That afternoon, the Qingdao High School baseball team ushered in their third opponent.It is said to be the runner-up in Texas last year, and the name is also a long list of English characters.

Without transliteration, there are probably not many people who can pronounce the name completely.

Even Zecun, who thinks he is very proficient in English, can't.
