Volume 2: Dormant Rebirth Chapter 039 Quota
Seidou High School Baseball Club, Supervisory Office.
It's late at night.
Under the light, you can vaguely see a group of teenagers swinging baseball bats.
Standing on the high building of the supervisory office, it is actually difficult to see those figures clearly. Who are they?
But Kataoka was willing to sit by the window and look at the figures swinging the bats from afar.
In recent years, the team's performance has been difficult to satisfy the school's leaders, and it has also been difficult to satisfy the alumni and fans who support the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Even Kataoka himself was very dissatisfied with the result.
But there is no way around it. Tokyo is just that kind of place. It doesn't mean that players will necessarily achieve results if they work hard.
If you really want to break out of Tokyo, you must have the ambition to dominate the country.
No matter who the opponent is, they will all be defeated!
If you don't have such ambition and aspirations, and still want to enter Koshien from the Tokyo area, you will have to rely on luck.
Unfortunately, the Seidou High School baseball team has not had much luck in recent years.
This is also the reason why they have not been able to .
To be honest, Director Kataoka's teaching is not as bad as the outside world says.
Although the team's poor performance has resulted in fewer and fewer good players being recruited, even so, every year when the summer tournament comes, Coach Kataoka is always able to lead a vibrant and capable team to compete for the Koshien tickets.
There are two main reasons why they have not been able to enter Koshien for so many years in a row.
The first reason is that the two competitors in the same district are really too difficult to deal with.
No matter whether it is Daocheng Industry or the city’s top three high schools, even if they are brought into Koshien, they are always the victorious team.
If you want to defeat them, ordinary strength is far from enough.
That requires one to be extremely strong!
On the other hand it was also bad luck.
The Seidou High School baseball team has no shortage of strong hitters every year.
But their ace pitcher always seems to be not so strong.
At best, he would be ranked at the bottom among the top players in Tokyo.
In most cases, like Xiu Ze.
He can barely make it into the lineup of top players, but his actual strength is still far from that of a true top pitcher.
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates.
It's hard enough to have a stupid teammate on the team, not to mention that this stupid teammate is the main ace.
Even if Director Kataoka has extraordinary abilities, he has to obey orders.
It’s not that he doesn’t work hard, it’s just that he can’t lead the team!
You can’t get good seedlings, and you can’t get reliable trump cards.
No matter how hard they train, it is nothing but a pipe dream .
Doesn't Kataoka know this?
No, he knew it. But what could he do?
Good talent, excellent seedling.
These things can't be given to him just because he wants them.
What he got was just a group of guys who were neither good nor bad.
When facing these guys, he couldn't demand the same thing from them as he did from real geniuses.
What should I do then?
Talent cannot be controlled by humans. The only thing can control is effort.
The early bird catches the worm!
Only hard work can be compensated by human efforts.
Therefore, Coach Kataoka trained the players the hardest. He believed that his disciples must be the ones who sweated the most.
"Supervisor, what do you think?"
Just as Kataoka was lost in thought and reminiscing, Minister Ota interrupted his reverie.
What time is it now? Do you still have time to wander around?
Even Kataoka felt a little embarrassed when he was caught slacking off on the spot.
Fortunately, he was wearing sunglasses, so it was difficult for others to see his true expression.
When he heard Ota's question, he was stunned for four or five seconds.
It’s not that Kataoka is pretending to be profound, it’s just that he doesn’t know what Ota’s problem is.
He was absent from duty just now, so he didn't hear Minister Ota's question at all.
Fortunately, this little thing is not difficult for him.
"What do you think?"
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t know the answer to this question himself, he can just throw the question back.
In this case, as soon as Minister Ota and Rei Takashima open their mouths, wouldn't he know what the problem is?
Minister Ota and Takashima Rei looked at each other.
Finally, Minister Ohta stood up.
"A total of six first-team players have been temporarily kicked out of the team. Now that the orientation match is over, should we let them go back or promote six more people?"
"What do you think?"
"We discussed it before and decided that keeping those third-year players in the first team would not be helpful to our entire team."
No need to explain everything, just give a hint.
According to Minister Ota and Rei Takashima's plan, they are preparing to promote some new people.
"Has anyone chosen yet?"
"We plan to keep two third-year players, and then select four from first- and second-year players. The problem now is that we have five candidates. First of all, first-year students Yu Xing and Zhang Han. Although they were not able to lead the freshman team to victory, today's welcome game is definitely the most suspenseful one in all these years. These two people have made great contributions."
The remaining three candidates are second-year students Ryosuke Kominato, Jun Isashiki, and Toru Masuko.
If possible, Minister Ota and Rei Takashima would actually prefer to push these five people out together.
But this is obviously unrealistic.
Six places have already been filled by the third graders, and any more would be excessive.
Even for these 6 places, unless the 6 players who were kicked out are really useless, and the newly selected people are all stronger than them .
Otherwise, we have to give the third-year contestants some face.
Not to mention, not all of the third-year players who were replaced were useless.
There are still a few good ones among them.
In this case, it is even more necessary to reserve places for them.
Minister Ota and Deputy Minister Takashima Rei reached a consensus on this matter.
They all thought that this allocation was more reasonable, two players from each grade.
But in this case, Zengzi, who is also outstanding, might not have a chance.
Director Kataoka listened to the two of them patiently and then remained silent for a long time.
If it is a normal situation, it would be fine. But when promoting new players, more consideration is given to future development and the inheritance of the team.
Their strength was not enough to become an important force for the team at the beginning.
In this case, no matter what choice you make, it is reasonable.
But the current situation is not like that.
Whether it's two freshmen or a few sophomores.
They are all qualified to become combat forces directly.
In this case, the right choice could give the Seidou High School baseball team one more chance.
