Volume 3: Hot Summer Chapter 025 Mahjong Team
Somehow, word of Director Kataoka's words got out.
When the third-year players of Seidou High School baseball team heard this, they were shocked.
They haven't even graduated yet, and the first and second year players are already thinking of rebelling.
Dream their big dream!
That night, several third-year contestants got together and decided to rest and adjust their condition.
Didn't those guys from the city's third high school score 25 points? In tomorrow's game, they'll definitely score 30 points or more.
We have to let those guys from the city’s third high school see who has the strongest offensive lineup in Tokyo?
It's not just the guys on the Seidou High School baseball team who have this idea; the outside media and self-media also have the same idea.
There have been countless reports online, in newspapers and magazines, about who is the strongest attacking team in Tokyo?
Dong Qingguo is a ruthless person, and now he is known as the strongest player in Tokyo. But Sai, the third high school student in the city, is also not ambiguous.
He is a very famous hitter in Tokyo and even in the whole country, and has also attracted the attention of professional teams.
And another thing is that he is stronger than Dongqing Kingdom.
That's him. He played in Koshien when he was a freshman and performed well.
A genuine Koshien player!
This alone adds countless points...
In addition, there are several strong hitters in the same grade, a sophomore power forward, and so on.
And Hoshida and Miyakawa who have just been promoted to the first grade.
In terms of batting line-up, they are on par with the Seidou High School baseball team.
In this clash of two powerful opponents, it is still unknown .
That evening, the players of Team One gathered together to study their opponents for the next day's game.
Their opponent in the quarter-finals is called Qingshan High School. It is also a legendary high school. It used to be a girls' school, but it was changed to a co-educational school two years ago.
The oldest member of the team is in the second grade, and their team was established just over a year ago.
The team had no supervision, and was led by their number 2 catcher named Xifeng Lie.
When Zhang Han heard this name, he was a little confused.
For some reason, he always felt that this name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember why?
Soon, as other contestants were introduced one by one, Zhang Han finally understood where his memory came from.
If you look at the names of Qingshan High School's main players, you can basically understand it.
One garden, two strips, three strips, seven strips, nine strips, west wind, white board.
"Is this intentional ?"
Almost subconsciously, Zhang Han thought that the other party had deliberately ordered a mahjong table.
Later, after listening to Yuki's explanation, he realized that this was not the case.
Like two, three, seven, nine.
These are common surnames in island countries.
I don’t know if it’s luck or the characteristics of the area around their school.
In short, they got together and formed a real mahjong team.
“It’s so unique, I can’t forget it even if I want to!”
Qingshan’s core player is of course Captain No. 2 Xifeng Lie.
And his partner, pitcher Hitoshi Kujo.
The name is very peaceful and sounds harmless.
But a team with nothing can actually make it to the round of 16. It is absolutely impossible to say that they have no ability.
Kujo Hitoshi's pitching is very unique. He is a left-handed pitcher, and he also throws sideways.
This is undoubtedly a very puzzling opponent for left-handed hitters.
They stood in the batter's box and felt as if the baseball was flying right behind their heads.
As for Qingdao's main players, except for Touseikuni, Zhang Han, Yuki Tetsuya and Isashiki Jun, basically half of them are left-handed hitters.
In other words, in terms of lineup, the players of Seidou High School baseball team were restrained by their opponents.
Even right-handed hitters would not feel comfortable facing a ball that flies at a large angle at a diagonal angle.
"The ball speed is about 135 kilometers per hour, fluctuating by about 5 kilometers per hour. The slowest ball is only 110 kilometers per hour."
The giants lack strong shots, and the dark horses lack strong attacks.
The little-known Qingshan High School fits this rule very well.
Their batting lineup is not worth mentioning, but their pitchers not only have unique pitching techniques, but also have changes in speed.
This is a pitcher that the Seidou High School baseball team is very envious of.
When listening to the other party's information, many players on the Qingdao High School baseball team had this thought in their minds.
If our team has such a pitcher, then what does Daocheng, the city's third high school, matter?
Xiu Ze seemed to sense something and looked at his teammates one by one until everyone lowered their heads.
Qingdao's ace not only has fluctuating performance, but also has a bad temper.
If this really happens, no one can guess the consequences.
The third-year seniors vowed to beat Qingshan High School by 30 points or more.
At that time, Zhang Han even wanted to sit on the bench.
Even if he used his toenails to think, he knew that Qingshan High School might look insignificant, but it was definitely not that weak.
Especially since they are a turtle shell team with pitchers as the core.
Is it a joke to want to get 30 points from a team like this?
If he wasn't afraid that Coach Kataoka might have some bad ideas, he would have wanted to ask the coaching staff directly to let him rest in the rest area tomorrow.
He was really afraid that he wouldn't get that many points and would be blamed by the third-year seniors.
You said that as a junior student, he was not the one who started the fight, so is he wronged?
"The quarter-finals will be next week. There is no problem with physical strength. Let's go all out!"
Director Kataoka thought the same thing as Zhang Han. He also believed that although Aoyama High School might not seem like much on the surface.
But they are fundamentally different from Qingdao's opponents in the first two rounds.
They are a team that can really pose a threat to Qingdao.
To fight against such an opponent, you must give it your all.
"But the people from the city's top three high schools will definitely be watching the scene. If our strength is exposed..."
Takashima Rei said with some concern.
If they reveal too much of their strength, they will definitely be at a disadvantage when they meet the top three high schools in the city.
"Forget about our status as a wealthy club. We are just a challenger. It is totally useless to worry about those things at this moment. First we have to defeat the opponent in front of us, then we will be qualified to face the next game."
Coach Kataoka's way of directing the game is completely different from his usual way of directing.
He was very careful when supervising and even checked the contestants' diaries.
It gives people the feeling that she is a bit fussy.
But once he was in charge of a game, whether before or during the game, he gave orders very decisively.
With a flavor that cannot be refused.
"yes!!"
The friends on the Seidou High School baseball team held their heads high and agreed in unison.
The next day, the 4th round of the West Tokyo Tournament, the match between Seidou High School baseball team and its third opponent, Aoyama High School, officially began!
