Chapter 14: Sudden Orientation Tournament
Seidou High School lost the Spring Competition and lost a crushing defeat.
This is nothing!
Seido's requirements for the spring competition are that as long as he can get the top 16 in Tokyo, everything else is nothing important.
Even the Seidou High School baseball team lost to their old enemy junior high school, is not unacceptable.
In recent years, Qingdao has been unlucky and has not been able to enter Jiaziyuan for several years.
If you can't play in Jiaziyuan, you will not be able to attract top-level good players. If you can't attract good players, the team's strength will naturally not be improved.
If the team cannot improve its strength, it is natural to defeat the battle.
Under the vicious cycle, Qingdao has lost to the city's junior and Daocheng in recent years, not once or twice.
After all, this is just one of them. Although I can't stand the face, I don't mind to be honest.
The key to the problem is that through this game, the shortcomings of the Seidou High School baseball team were completely exposed.
Their aces are not weak, and their line play is very strong, and even the garage is the top in Tokyo.
From the outside, Seidou High School baseball team should be a very strong and competitive team in the Tokyo area.
Not only that, there are many well-known players in their team. In terms of cards, it is not much worse than Daocheng and the junior high school in the city.
But they just can't win!
The team's performance is very unstable. Not only pitchers, but also occasionally there will be situations where they are not strong when playing the line.
This is not at all true when they play against weak teams.
In the Tokyo Spring Competition, Seido High School Baseball Team basically ended the game early in the first few games?
The process completely crushed the opponent.
It gives people the feeling that Qingdao is extremely powerful!
But once you encounter a team that is of equal strength or even above them.
The team will have frequent problems, either pitchers or playing the line. Especially pitchers, the probability of being beaten and the probability of his outstanding performance.
It turned out to be five-five...
Can such a team eventually enter Jiaziyuan?
Ask yourself, Supervisor Kataoka did not dare to guarantee the bill at all.
As for the current lineup of the First Army, it would be strange if they can enter Jiaziyuan?
If Kokoen is so easy to enter, why did Seodou and Kataoka be blocked outside the door for so many years?
After comprehensively considering the strength of his current team, Supervisor Kataoka concluded that.
They have no chance at all.
Even if they were lucky and had excellent strength in a certain game, they defeated one of the opponents.
When the next hard battle comes, they will still be defeated.
"There must be a change!"
In the past, the policy of the Seidou High School baseball team was to focus on third-grade students. From the second and first-grade students, they should promote potential seedlings and train them in advance.
This tradition is not just about Seido High School Baseball Team, but most teams in the island country are like this.
In this way, it is fair to most players.
A true genius will get opportunities in advance. Ordinary contestants will be promoted as long as you have the strength.
Kataoka has been implementing this tradition in the past few years.
But now it seems that this tradition has long been outdated. He should learn from the supervision of Guojia in Daocheng, only talent is the only way to achieve it.
As long as the contestants are really strong, even in the first grade, they should be promoted.
As the saying goes, kindness does not control the army, righteousness does not support wealth.
Although there are differences between managing the team and managing the army, there are not many common features.
Kataoka, who made up his mind, directly found his two assistants, namely the Minister of Baseball Department Oda and Deputy Minister Takashima Rei.
"That's the plan! The current third-year 1st Army originally had good potential. But they were like warm water toads, and they have gradually gotten used to their current position. They even got used to the position of our team! We must set a lofty goal for the players and formulate a brand new system."
This plan has been brewing in Superintendent Kataoka's mind for a long time.
But there has never been a suitable opportunity to raise it.
From this perspective, they lost to the junior high school in the city and suffered a crushing defeat.
This has become a good thing.
"After the team reform, we either lose a lot or let the team be reborn!"
Supervisor Kataoka is very determined.
Minister Oda rubbed his hands nervously.
As a traditional islander, he was very difficult to adapt to this sudden change in tradition.
This is not to say that he can point out any mistakes or make any suggestions.
But it is instinctive, he thinks that such a practice is unfair.
The third-grade players train for longer, and their talent was originally above the second-grade players.
It is also appropriate to get the position of the main force.
Why did Superintendent Kataoka suddenly have such crazy ideas?
Rei Takashima held her arms, thought for a while, and finally nodded in support of Kataoka.
"It is not a solution to continue like this! The potential and ability of our players, as well as the talents they showed in the middle school era of China, are not as good as those of Daocheng and the seniors in the city! Even if our training is stricter and more thorough, the training of those two teams has not been left behind. In other words, there should not be much change in the gap between us. Even if there is, it is difficult to change the strength and weakness of both sides. In this case, if we still want to enter Jiaziyuan, we can only choose to win by surprise. I agree with the strategy of Supervisor Kataoka."
Vice Minister Takashima Rei expressed his support.
Minister Ota was in a dilemma, and he himself was not willing to change his past traditions.
After all, did the previous Suga Supervisor rely on the previous tradition and led the team to Jiaziyuan several times?
He even won the Jiaziyuan victory.
It would be fine if you don’t cherish the successful experiences, but how can you give up at will?
But he is only the director of the baseball department, and Kataoka is the leader in the training and other arrangements of the baseball department.
Things in the team’s admissions department and diplomatic issues.
It is the responsibility of Takashima Rei, who has a deep background and super personal abilities.
Although he is nominally the minister of the baseball department, he is now doing chores.
Mainly deals with training and competition matters of the Second Army.
With both Kataoka Superintendent and Takashima Rei already agreeing, what can he do a chore?
In the end, he had no choice but to surrender.
"How to do it specifically?"
"Let's start with the welcome match! Take out the substitutes who are not strong enough in the first army, including Hideze and Tanba. Let them join the second army and play the welcome match with the freshmen."
"Don't the normal welcome competition be until May?"
"We can't wait for that time!"
