Chapter 29 The Meiji Gentleman's Palace Conference (3)
"It's a pity that Qingdao's ace didn't pitch."
"The relievers who came on the board in the sixth inning are very good. I'm afraid Yin Nian will become our strong enemy."
"Aomichi's three-bat (Fujii Takashi), four-bat (Higashi Kiyokuni) and five-bat (Murasuke Daiki) are too scary. The batting average is really high."
"Uotani, if we face Qingdao then, remember to be careful about their core lane."
Everyone in Lu Zhengshe walked down the stands while chatting, and slowly exited the stadium with the crowd; when they walked out of the Yinye Jingu Stadium, they happened to see Komagai Tomakomai, like them, preparing to leave the Yinye Jingu Stadium.
Komadai Tomakomai dominated the country twice last year and this year. In today's first game, they directly defeated Qingzhengsha with a score of 6:2 (the prototypes should be Qingfeng and Luzhengsha, here Qingfeng is used as the
Prototype), is the strongest opponent that other teams participating in the Yinye Shrine Conference need to face.
The players from Luzhengsha and Komagai Tomakomai looked at each other a few times and then left in different directions.
…
After everyone in Qingdao returned to school, Director Kataoka commented on today's game as usual. He first evaluated the entire game, and then pointed out everyone's shortcomings in attack and defense one by one. Overall, their performance was
It was relatively good, there were no big mistakes, and even Sakai's three-point loss was within an acceptable range.
Everyone in the First Army humbly accepts the comments and guidance of Supervisor Kataoka. They know that if they want to make continuous progress, they must know their own strengths and weaknesses. Only in this way can they have the direction to work hard and improve.
"Next is the starting lineup for the semi-finals." After Director Kataoka finished his comments, he began to announce the starting lineup for the semi-finals: "First bat, shortstop, Fukuda; second bat, right fielder, Tojima; third bat,
Second baseman, Tanaka; fourth baseman, Higashi Kiyokuni; fifth base, center fielder Daiki Murasuke; sixth base, left fielder, Takashi Fujii; seventh base, catcher, Chris; eighth base, first base
Hand, Yuki; Nine sticks, pitcher, Jinguji Temple."
"Yes!" The people who were clicked responded in unison.
"In the three games on cloudy days, Matsuda and Chris went to follow Minister Ohta to record intelligence."
"Okay." Matsuda and Chris both nodded in agreement.
After making these arrangements, Supervisor Kataoka dismissed the team and left the conference room.
"Who will be our opponent the day after tomorrow?"
"The possibility of it being Komadai Tomakomai is very high."
"If it is really Komaki Tomaki, it will definitely be a tough battle the day after tomorrow."
"The other big match the day after tomorrow is probably Luzhengshe vs. Kansai."
Everyone in Yijun left the conference room chatting.
It was still a little early, so after putting their backpacks back in the dormitory, they went to the training ground again, ready to practice swinging and hitting before dinner.
On the morning of November 13th, Chris, Matsuda and Minister Ohta came to Yinye Jingu Stadium again. The three of them found a suitable place for recording, set up the video recorder, and sat down.
At 8:30, the game between Kansai and Akita Sho started on time.
"Kansai's ace is a rare side pitcher." Chris whispered as he looked at the Kansai ace pitching on the field.
"Kansai's line attack was very aggressive, which put a certain amount of pressure on Akita Sho's pitchers." After watching the first half of the second inning, Kentaro Matsuda said while looking at Kansai's score (1 point) on the scoreboard.
The game went very fast. After the fifth inning, Akita Sho changed pitches in the sixth inning because the ace was exhausted. As a result, Akita Shoko lost three points in a row after the reliever came on.
In the end, the first game ended with Kansai winning 4:2 to advance to the semifinals.
"Although Akita Shoko chased him by 2 points in the seventh and ninth games, Kansai's defensive performance did not feel the slightest bit nervous." Kentaro Matsuda frowned.
"Kansai's supervision goals are very accurate, and they are very calm about getting points to exchange for games." Chris closed the notebook in his hand.
"As the core of the team, Kansai's supervisor is indeed an important reason why Kansai has been able to enter Koshien in recent years and maintain a good record. When dealing with different opponents, Kansai's supervisor will develop different tactics.
To ensure the coordination and coherence of the team, judging from their current results, this approach is quite effective."
"Then we will compete with them..." Minister Ohta looked at Chris, as if waiting for his answer.
"We are almost the same as them in terms of physical fitness and experience, our batting is no worse than theirs, and our pitchers are no weaker than them... In the face of absolute strength, the technical gap cannot erase each other's strengths and weaknesses."
Minister Ohta is right to think so. The reason why Kansai implements such a strategy is partly because of the idea of supervision, and partly because they, like Seido, do not have an ace pitcher who is good enough;
In terms of attack level, Kansai and Qingdao are just in the middle.
As long as the opponent doesn't get caught up in their rhythm at the beginning, Qingdao's winning rate should be higher. You won't know how it will be until you play.
Soon the second game started, and Chris and the three of them gradually turned their attention to the upcoming showdown between Takaoka Sho and Komada Tomakomai.
…
After watching today's three games, Chris and the three of them set off back to Qingdao and asked the members of the First Army to go to the conference room to watch the video of the game.
Chris opened his notebook, which recorded in detail the information he collected about Komada Tomakomai while watching the battle.
"Ace Masahiro Tanaka, second-year, right-hand shot and right-handed ball control, very accurate, ball speed is between 147km and 152km/h, likes to throw low ball, the winning ball type is unknown; successor Okada Masahiro, second-year,
He throws left-handed and hits right-handed and has good ball control, with a maximum ball speed of 144km/h, and can throw a change-up ball with a ball speed of about 124km/h; starting pitcher Shota Katsuki, a first-year, right-handed pitcher, slow-heating right side
Takaoka Shang's three-point shot came from him in the first game."
"Main battle catcher Kobayashi Hide..."
After Chris finished telling the information about Komagai Tomakomai, he took his notebook and sat down.
Director Kataoka turned to look at Kentaro Matsuda: "Is there anything you want to add?"
Kentaro Matsuda shook his head and said he had nothing to add.
Supervisor Kataoka nodded and walked in front of everyone: "Chris has conducted a detailed analysis of Komaki Tomakomai's information. Although the opponent is the strongest team that has dominated the country twice in a row, as long as you can be firm
If you implement your swing carefully, you will be able to win. On the pitching staff, you must keep in mind the information of Komaki Tomakomai's hitters, and fully apply them in the game. Make bold pitches, are you in vain?"
"Yes!" Everyone in Qingdao responded loudly.
"That's it for today. The starting players were announced yesterday. Have a good rest tonight, don't over-practice, and maintain sufficient physical strength to cope with the cloudy game."
"yes!"
Everyone in Qingdao left one after another after Supervisor Kataoka left first. This chapter has been completed!
