After the second game, it was another period of rest.

Shoji Yui and Kaoru Yui, who failed to express themselves in the last competition, also worked hard with intention.

All the opponents for the third game came out, Seido vs. Shiliang High School, Inami vs. Yakushi High School, and City Junior vs. Heitin High School.

"After we beat Zhiliang, we will meet the senior high school students of the city in the fourth game. It seems that the game with Inomi will be left in the finals."

"Ah, but then again, the pitchers from City University's top three are very strong."

"Don't you know Sawamura? The city's ace in the junior year."

"No, isn't this person just from Qiu Da? We didn't face off against the city's juniors."

"I heard that we knew each other before, and we even arranged to hang out together during the holidays."

"It's true, that kid can really provoke people from other schools without us knowing."

"Ah, Sawamura shouldn't study baseball, he should study public relations!"

"puff....."

"What a good idea, hahahaha."

The season went by very quickly, and it wasn't long before the third game.

This time, at Eijun's strong request, Director Kataoka placed him in the relay position.

Qingdao's opponent, Shiliang High School, is also a well-established school. Although it is not as famous as Qingdao, Ichidasan, Inami, and Teito, it is one of the more outstanding public schools.

Zhiliang High School is a public school that focuses on further studies. After reaching the third grade, most students will choose to focus on their studies, so their players are mainly sophomores.

"Issei Komiyayama is a right-handed pitcher. He is a very standard pitcher. His ball speed is not very high, but it is still between 135 and 140.

In the previous information, it can be found that his three types of balls include straight ball, curve ball and slide ball.

During the game, the slider is used more often, but the curveball is used more frequently at the critical moment of the victory.”

Abian told everyone the information he collected. Others looked at the pitcher on the TV screen thoughtfully.

“The types of balls I learned were very interesting.”

"It should be said that he is indeed a top student. Now he can use these two kinds of balls quite skillfully."

Eijun also watched Kazunari Komiyayama's pitching carefully several times and waved his arm involuntarily.

"Why can't I control my slider and curveball? Is it because of my posture?"

Eijun's thoughtful look was noticed by Miyuki, who reminded him,

"Just give up now, I won't allow you to make any unnecessary attempts during the competition.

This is not a change-up ball that does little damage to your posture. If you are not careful, it may destroy your current advantage.

Let’s wait until after the spring competition and try it slowly.”

Miyuki was threatening and trying to comfort the child, which made Eijun feel very unhappy.

"I know, I'm not a child, I still have some judgment."

"That's good. I'm just afraid that some disobedient guy will practice secretly behind others' backs."

Miyuki glanced sideways at Eijun, and as expected, saw his somewhat unnatural expression.

Miyuki regretted that she had tried a new ball during spring break, which helped Eijun understand how to hold the slider and curveball.

Now I am so worried about Eijun going to train privately.

"Didn't you say that you want to be the most trustworthy pitcher in the team? Then don't bring hidden dangers to the team."

Miyuki's words were a little ruthless, but they really touched Eijun's heart.

"Yes, I understand."

Seeing Eijun's expression return to firmness, Miyuki felt relieved.

"Then after the pre-match meeting is over, you, Furitani and Kawakami will come to the indoor training ground and I will confirm your status."

"learn!"

After saying this, Miyuki left the cafeteria. Director Kataoka still had something to ask him about.

"Is there anything the batter needs to pay attention to?"

"Some, among them..."

With Abian's help, the players quickly became familiar with the players from Zhiliang High School.

Although Abian will now train with everyone, his usual work focus has shifted to intelligence.

Director Kataoka and Maezono tried to persuade them once, but due to their serious attitude, they gave up.

"I have not given up baseball, and training will continue. But at this stage, if I can help the team, I will be very happy."

Ah Bian said to everyone that everyone has different physiques, talents, and future pursuits.

But it is a common thought among all of us that we came to this school because we love baseball, and then fell in love with this baseball club.

"Kawakami-senpai, Furuya, and Miyuki-senpai asked us to go to the indoor training ground."

"OK."

"Are you going to practice your swing later, Minato?"

"Well, there's a competition tomorrow. I'll really feel uncomfortable if I don't practice."

"Would you like to take out the pitching machine..."

"Wait for me, I'll go with you."

Shoji Yui and Yui Kaoru looked at the seniors who were training again and didn't know what expressions to use.

Although the strength and physical strength of these two people are far superior to those of their peers, they still seem to be a little behind their seniors.

"Are you ready to go home now?"

"No, I'm going to go practice swinging with my seniors."

"Then add me too!"

I was very happy to see the two juniors also coming to practice for extra time, seeing how motivated the juniors are.

"Why don't you two go and rest? Especially since you are married, why don't you go home? It's already dark."

"Go back after you've done two hundred swings."

General Jiecheng replied that although he knew that senior Jiecheng had this habit before, he did not expect that he would pass it on to his younger brother Jun.

"Don't work too hard. You still can't keep up with the intensity of training in high school. There will be a competition tomorrow, so don't push yourself too hard."

Maezono kindly tried to dissuade them, saying that they had all experienced the fact that their strength was starting to fall short, and now it was time to fight steadily.

"It's okay, Maezono-senpai. Besides, we may not be able to play."

Yui Kaoru said with a smile that although Director Kataoka put them on the bench, it does not mean that they must be allowed to make a difference.

It's more about letting promising freshmen experience the high school game in advance.

Yui Kaoru knows this very well. Of course, he is not someone who is satisfied with this status quo.

"The weather is very good today. It looks good for pitching."

Eijun, who was practicing pitching in the bullpen, looked up at the sky and said happily.

"Sawamura, you look very happy."

Ono asked, Eijun nodded and said,

"It's a competition, so I have to face it with a good mood."

"You are in such a good mood."

"Thank you for the compliment, ah, Jiang Gu is here.

Jiang Gu~~, calm down and vote, I’m right behind you and can change yours at any time!!”

"unnecessary...."

Fang Gu stood on the pitcher's mound and retorted in a low voice. Although others couldn't hear what Fang Gu said, they could guess it by looking at his expression.

"These two are really good rivals."

"Yeah, na!"

In the match between Qingdao and Zhiliang High School, Qingdao defended first.

'Let's say hello to them first, Jiangu!'

Under the protective gear, Miyuki showed a provocative smile, a bit evil but indescribably handsome. Unfortunately, no one saw this scene.

"Bang!"

The baseball hit the glove with a loud noise, causing the batter to shrug his shoulders involuntarily.

‘It’s... so scary. Is this Qingdao’s speed bowler? It’s really as scary as the rumors said.
