Chapter 114: Preparation for the War

"If you encounter such a tactical attack, what are you going to do?"

Turning his head, Kataoka asked Sawamura.

Sawamura couldn't help but roll his eyes in his mind.

Things are changing rapidly on the field.

'Without really standing on the field, I have no way of predicting how I will deal with it.'

"To be honest, I can't give you an answer to this point. I can only say that I will try my best to not reach this point, if it does then I will trust the fielder guarding my back."

Sawamura's answer did not seem to exceed Kataoka's expectations.

He glanced at Sawamura and said nothing.

The next topic turned to Narumiya.

If Seidou High School really wants to beat Inajitsu, Obviously they will not only rely on Sawamura Eijun's pitching.

Even if Sawamura Pitch is at his best, he will at most not lose points, and not losing points does not mean that you can win the game.

If you really want to win the game, you have to score points.

"As the only batter who scored a double from Narumiya last year, Tetsu, do you have anything to say?"

Kominato Ryosuke smiled and said while pulling Tetsu into the talk.

"We have been training to be able to fight against Narumiya's sharp and fast pitching for a while, so we don't have to worry about not touching or hitting his pitching.

And now, we have the first two batters who can disrupt the opponent's defense, a third batter who can hit tricky balls with irregular batting posture, a fifth batter who can stably get hits no matter the situation, a sixth batter who hit any powerful ball…

Adding all of this to all the preparations we made to deal with Narumiya ball speed and breaking ball, Right now we can definitely conquer Narumiya Mei."

***

At the same time, the baseball team of Inajitsu High School.

In the Inajitsu Supervision Office.

In front of Superintendent Kunitomo, there are videos of all the games of Seidou High School.

Beside him, the assistant coach of Inajitsu sighed helplessly.

"Our final opponent is still him, right? The Ace pitcher of Seidou High School, Sawamura!"

Kunitomo's face was cold, and you couldn't see joy, anger, or sorrow.

This appearance surprised the assistant coach of Inajitsu.

'Isn't the expression on the Coach's face too serious? Is Seidou High School really that tricky?'

"Of course it's tricky!"

"Coach Kataoka trains a group of good players every year, and this year's group is particularly outstanding."

Inajitsu originally recruited a bunch of geniuses, so there are talented players in each of their positions.

However, the situation at Seidou High School is different. Among the players of this year's Seidou High School, almost none of them became famous in middle school.

Oh wrong!

There is still a one star player.

That's Seidou's current main catcher, Chris.

Now the only one among the third-grade seniors who became famous in middle school is Chris, who was known as the first Catcher in Kanto at that time.

Not to mention anything else, just by looking at this name, you can know how extraordinary Chris is!

But even under such circumstances, with a bad deck of cards in his hand, Coach Kataoka was capable of training them into players with extraordinary ability!

Taking aside the Ace position, compared with the current Inajitsu, Seidou is not less at all.

This is the strength of Seidou High School now!

Speaking of Ace pitchers.

This can be said to be the biggest weakness of Seidou High School, but this year, Seidou High School has received strong support in the pitcher position.

This strong aid is Sawamura Eijun.

It was because of his appearance that the crumbling pitcher's mound of Seidou High School had a lord.

The current Seidou High School can indeed compete with Inajitsu.

"This game will be an all-round, comprehensive competition!"

Coach Kunitomo said.

He already had a hunch that the game was going to be tough.

In another hall of the baseball club.

"I'm bored! I'm bored! Masa-san, how long do we have to prepare? that the game will be played the day after tomorrow."

"Shut up!"

Harada always believed in a simple and rude way to deal with arrogant little shits like Narumiya Mei.

"I will not allow you to go back to the dormitory to rest until you have memorized the information of all the Batters in Seidou High School."

Narumiya Mei pouted and opened his mouth to yawn.

"I'm so sleepy, can I go to sleep?"

Narumiya Mei seemed to have no energy at all and kept yawning.

Opposite him, Inashiro's assistant coach secretly respected him.

He was about to play against Seidou, the champion of the Kanto Tournament, but he didn't expect that Narumiya was not nervous at all.

He really has the Ace mindset!

"If you remember the habits of all the batters in Seidou High School. Then you can sleep! You have to know that Seidou is different from the teams we played against before. Their attack power is very powerful. Even if you search all over the country, There are very few teams with attacking power like Seidou."

Opposite to Narumiya, sat his partner, Harada.

Harada was very displeased with Narumiya's condescending appearance and said sternly.

"Kuramochi, who is the first, has a very fast speed, so he must be wary of him. But as long as he is not allowed to hit base, there is nothing to be afraid of!

The scary thing is Kominato-senpai who is batting the second. He can hit any kind of ball. And when he gets crazy, he will harass the pitcher to death. If he gets the Four-Ball, it will be troublesome.

The third-ranked Isashiki Jun likes to swing on the first pitch, even if the pitcher is not very exaggerated. He also swings at Balls.

Masuko, who is the sixth batter, likes to play Straight balls, and when he has a chance to score, we should also be careful.

Kazuya who is the seventh batter is super dangerous when there is someone on base, but when there is no one on base he is really average.

Although these batters are good, they also have obvious weaknesses, which are not difficult to deal with.

The opponents who we really should be careful with are the fourth-batter Tetsu-san, and the fifth-batter, that stinky boy Sawamura. Last year, Tetsu-san hit my ball and hit a perfect second base.

Sawamura also hit it in middle school. This time, as long as we can suppress these two perfectly, the morale will definitely be boosted!"

"Is there anything else I need to know?"

After saying that, Narumiya looked at Harada directly.

Harada was speechless.

"Forget it, remember to get a massage before going to bed."

In the end, Harada could only let him go.

Narumiya Mei smiled and left here.

The coach next to him was surprised: "When did Mei start to observe Seidou's batters? I didn't see it before. He has completely remembered the habit of his opponent."

Harada said flatly: "He is only interested in the opponents he wants to fight against. The rest are my work."

"Then you're still working really hard."

"I'm used to it!"

Harada stared blankly at the back of Narumiya, and confident filled his heart.

Now Narumiya has begun to gradually understand his Game calling. Last year, Narumiya would not do so.

Inashiro Superintendent's Office.

"In this way, Seidou High School should let Sawamura finish the game. In the playoffs, Seidou's disadvantage is too great!"

President Hayashida watched Seidou's video and discussed with Kunitomo Coach the tactics Seidou might use.

"It's a matter of course. Superintendent Kataoka is very brave, he was known as the Steel Heart Ace during his time as a player. He isn't the one to play sly games, and he knows the certainty of using his players without distrust." Kunitomo Coach nodded.

Comparing heart to heart, if he stood in Kataoka's place, it is estimated that he would not hesitate to let Sawamura play. With such a good card in hand, how could he not be used?

Narumiya and Sawamura, two have their own style of pitching, and they are evenly matched.

If there is anything that Narumiya Mei is better than Sawamura, it is probably stamina!

After all, Narumiya Mei stayed in high school for a year and a half, while Sawamura barely had half a year.

This year's gap cannot be filled with skills and talent alone.

"Sawamura Eijun seldom had extra innings in the previous matches. This national champion player has no rich experience in playing for extra inning. In this way, if the game drags on for a long enough time, it will be more beneficial to us!"

President Hayashida looked at Coach Kunitomo in surprise.

He didn't expect that Coach Kunitomo had already started planning to play extra innings!

Could it be that Seidou is so powerful that if Inashiro wanted to win, it would be extremely difficult to get points?
