The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

That's why the opponent didn't show any combat effectiveness, and lost easily.

The team in San Francisco is different, and it can be clearly felt that their level is completely different from the one encountered before Qingdao High School.

Ranked 21st in the entire North America.

Just looking at this ranking, you also know that the San Francisco team is no small thing.

Even if they are not the top-notch giants in North America, at least they should be in the first echelon.

Equivalent to the top 16 in Koshien.

The team that can enter the top 16 of Jiaziyuan, except for the dark horse that suddenly emerged, there is one of the other teams, and their strength is not to be underestimated.

But the team in this rank in North America is still not the opponent of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

And this game, Qingdao High School won no suspense.

To put it bluntly, the gap between the two sides is still very obvious.

You know that Sawamura Eizumi, who is the ace of the Aodo High School baseball team, has been sitting in the lounge chair without even moving his butt.

Qingdao High School where Eichun Sawamura played, and Qingdao High School where Eichun Sawamura did not play.

The strength is at least one big rank.

But even the Qingdao High School baseball team is one rank weaker.Still easily defeated his opponent.

"It turns out that we are already so strong!"

At this time, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team realized that their strength has been practiced hard during this period of time.

It was no longer Wu Xia Amon.

To put it bluntly, the current Qingdao High School is very strong, even if the ace Sawamura Eijun did not play, the strength of the Qingdao High School is very strong.

With this recognition, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team naturally relaxed.

The next game with the tenth-ranked Los Angeles team in North America, they did not take it too seriously.

The exchange game between the Los Angeles team and the Tokyo team was clear to everyone.

The opponent's strength is indeed very good, but that's all.

With the Tokyo representative team going all out, the other side simply didn't have much power to parry.

The strength of the Aodo High School baseball team may be slightly worse than that of the Tokyo representative team.

The main reason is that the overall strength of the players is not as good as the Tokyo representative team.

But the Qingdao High School baseball team also has their own advantages.

For example, the Tokyo representative team is a makeshift team after all, and Aodo High School is different. Aodo High School has been honed with this lineup for a whole year.

The cooperation that Aodo High School can play is the Tokyo representative team, which can't keep up with horse riding.

If you take out these two teams, to do an objective deduction analysis.

If the two sides play a game, the victory or defeat should be 55.

Even if Qingdao High School is slightly weaker, the two sides should be able to play a close match.

From this point of view, the strength of Qingdao High School should be stronger than that of Los Angeles universities.

In addition, for Los Angeles universities, Qingdao High School is not as unfamiliar as other North American universities.

The video of the previous exchange contest was circulated widely on the Internet.

Especially Narumiya Naruto and Eizumi Sawamura, the shift balls used in that game.

It is regarded as a classic!

In that game, the players in the baseball club of Qingdao High School also worked hard and carefully studied it.

So they are very confident in the game against each other.

Know yourself and the enemy.

Its own strength is dominant, and intelligence is also dominant.

There is no reason why such a game cannot be won.

Before the game against the so-called dream team in North America, Qingdao High School seemed to have a complete victory record.

Even if it’s the dream team, its reputation is quite big...

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team can't help but feel a little contemptuous.

This North America is known as the Kingdom of Baseball, and it is so loud.

But in the real game, they really didn't cause much trouble to the Qingdao High School baseball team.

So, don't look at the North American Dream Team, it's so big and scary.

Maybe it's like those other North American teams, the boast is loud and the strength is not good at all.

Not only the players have such emotions, but Kataoka and Coach Ochiai also have similar ideas.

They are not particularly familiar with the baseball ecology in North America.

However, judging from the exchange games they played, the strength of North America is really not very good.

Put yourself in the situation and think about it if you change the island country.

Play practice games with teams of similar level.

The results are almost the same...

Who made the Qingdao High School baseball team now have it for this?

After all, Qingdao High School is also the king of the island country.

In the summer competition, although they may not be able to reach the finals all the way through obstacles.

But when it comes to strength, the current Qingdao High School baseball team is for high schools of the same age in the entire island nation.

The Qingdao High School baseball team is definitely second to none.

No matter they are playing against any team of the same age in the world, they are not afraid of it.

With this in mind, supervisor Kataoka and coach Ochiai could not help but put a lot of thought into the arrangement of the next game.

In the original game with Los Angeles, Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai meant that Sawamura Eijun played directly.Even if it wasn't a starter, Sawamura Eijun was the first relay to play after others had finished casting.

Only in this way can they ensure the victory of the game.

But with this game against San Francisco, Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai can't help but feel a little airy.

Although not as serious as the players, the two inevitably have more plans.

"There are a few good seedlings who have performed well before, so let's take a look at them."

After several consecutive games, in fact, the 20-man roster is almost the same.

Looking at 20 players, the workload seems very large.

After all, the investigators don't just mention a name and look at the data.

You also need to watch this player's game video to analyze what this player means to the team.

But it doesn't have to be so troublesome to determine a large list of 20 people. After all, there are more than a dozen people, and there is no need to think about it. Just fill in their names.

There are fewer than ten objects that really need to be investigated.

On the contrary, it is the arrangement of the location, which requires a lot of thought.

After listening to coach Ochiai's advice, Supervisor Kataoka nodded in agreement.

...

Chapter 052

After having an idea in their minds, the two immediately called all the players together and held a meeting.

At this meeting, Supervisor Kataoka firmly stated his views and announced the starting list for the game.

This result is not surprising to the players.

Due to time constraints, after the North American Exchange Games, Qingdao High School will basically determine the main 20 players and the starting roster.

To put it bluntly is to distribute back numbers.

Regional competitions like the Tokyo area are also called preliminaries for the national competition.

A total of 20 players are allowed to participate in a team.

And now the total number of players on the Qingdao High School Baseball Team is 26.

This also means that six people will leave the current army before the summer competition begins.

Whoever chooses these six candidates will be announced after the end of this North American exchange competition.

Tomorrow is the game against the North Dream team.

In that game, there can be no substitutes for the players who will be placed on the court. They are all the main players of the team, and they are also the main players of the rotation.

In other words, what can be determined in that game is the main candidate for Qingdao High School.

To put it bluntly, it is from 1 to 9.

As for the remaining numbers, the final confirmation will be completed in today's game.

In the lobby of the hotel, all the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team sat on the floor.

They stared at Kataoka intently one by one, waiting for the list to be announced from Kataoka's mouth.

In the previous few games, everyone played smoothly, and almost every player had excellent performance.

Of course, there are a few who performed very well and are almost certain to stay in the first army.

Laosheng will not talk about it, like Okumura in the new life, Yuki Shogi.

It is almost certain that they will definitely stay in the first army.

Regarding this point, none of the players on the Qingdao High School baseball team had objections.

Although these two are freshmen in the first year, in the previous games, both of them have played a particularly strong strength.

Their brilliance was even more dazzling than many 23-year seniors present.

The Qingdao High School baseball team is a place where strength is respected.

The players have such strength, it is impossible for Director Kataoka to ignore it anyway.

So they stay in the first army, it can be said to be a certainty.

In addition to them, like the better players in the 23rd grade.There is no doubt that they will stay in the first army.

Sawemura Eizumi played the same game.

Speaking of overall performance, it is not even outstanding among all senior students.

But no one questioned his status.

After all, Sawamura is the well-deserved trump card of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Even if other people's sense of existence is not as good as Sawamura's Eijun, they are also an essential main force in the team.

Take, for example, Kominato Haru.

Because Supervisor Kataoka wants to give opportunities to other newcomers, there are not many opportunities for Haru Kominato to play in these practice games.

But no one would think that he would lose the qualifications of the main force.

Outstanding performance, solid position...

These people certainly don't have to worry.

But most people can't reach this level. Even if other players have good performance moments, everyone is half-hearted.

No one is higher than anyone else.

At this time, Supervisor Kataoka values ​​who is more important and gives more opportunities.

This point becomes very important.
