"In this way, I have no way to direct the game."
The mind of Todoroki Raizou was a little sluggish.
Anyone who doesn't sleep for a day will not be too energetic the next day. Todoroki Raizou's current state is like this, his eyelids are fighting him, as if he is about to fall asleep.
But Todoroki Raizou also knew in his heart that no matter how sleepy he was now, he had to persevere in this game.
"Have you seen the video of the game that I showed you yesterday?"
Really sleepy and unbearable, Todoroki Raizou decided to rely on some things to divert his attention.
He turned to ask his two proud students behind him.
Mishima Yuta and Akiba Kazuma.
"Haha, don't worry, Coach! I watched the video yesterday, and by 11 pm, I already had a detailed plan to deal with that Sawamura Eijun."
Mishima patted his chest as if to assure Raizou.
He knew exactly what kind of a person his student was, and of course, he wouldn't believe what Mishima said. He turned to look at another student, Akiba Kazuma.
"We have indeed seen the information of all pitchers at Seidou High School. Except for dealing with Sawamura Eijun, we have already made detailed plans, and we have done simulation training according to what you said."
"Students today are really reassuring." Raizou nodded.
Before the competition with Seidou High School, he specially instructed his students to Watch all the game videos collected from Seidou High School at least three times, and write down their own experiences!
Although he has not seen any of these reports, his assistant coach has already seen them. There is nothing to praise in the writing, but everyone did sum up a lot of useful things.
"That way, all that's left is to enjoy the game!"
Nodding, Todoroki Raizou stood up.
"I have taught you what I can teach you in the past year and a half. You have completed all the rigorous training I set for you, beyond what I expected. Now I can pat my chest and tell you, your strength is definitely not lower than Seidou High School. The next thing is left to you!"
"Go on the field and enjoy the game, and then come back as a winner."
"Yes!"
At the same time, in the rest area of Seidou High School.
Coach Kataoka, holding his arms, looked at the opponent on the opposite side coldly.
"We have finished all the preparations and training to be done. Now, it's time to show everyone's strength. There's no need to hesitate about the swing, give it everything you have. With every ball and every swing, show your opponent who you are."
"Go!"
"Yes!"
Players on both sides, like warriors, stand on both sides and then rush into the battlefield.
"Pleased to play with you!"
"Pleased to play with you!!!"
"West Tokyo preliminaries, quarterfinals, the match between Seidou High School and Yakushi High School, now officially starts! Yakushi High School will attack first."
In the rest area of Seidou High School.
"There is an adjustment The lineup of Yakushi High School!"
Coach Ochiai took the first list of Yakushi High School and pondered.
Indeed, this time, Yakushi High School made a slight adjustment.
The core lineup, which was originally in the third, fourth, and fifth batter, is all the front end of the three first holes.
First batter: Kazuma Akiba!
Second Batter: Mishima Yuta!
Third Batter: Todoroki Raichi!
If you say that Yakushi High School did not have a plan, no one would believe it.
It felt as if Yakushi High School peeped at Seidou High School's arrangements.
The first three innings will be with Sawamura Eijun!
They are clearly targeting the Ace.
If they got a hit in the middle, then the first three in the lineup face Sawamura twice.
And if these three innings are all sealed by Sawamura, then the pitcher who replaces Sawamura will face a hellish opening challenge.
No matter how you look at it, the development of this situation will not be very beneficial to Seidou High School.
"The opponent's first pitcher is not the guy named Sanada. This shows that our original estimate was right. There must be some reason for this player not to complete the game. As long as we can expand the score at the beginning, it is not difficult to be in the lead all the way to the end!" Chris said.
Because Miyuki was the starter, in this game, Chris became a substitute.
He also naturally started to do the work of the staff.
The tactics arranged by Seidou High School took into account that Sanada would probably not play at first, so they sent Sawamura to play first.
Otherwise, if it were Sawamura and Sanada from the beginning it would turn into a difficult pitching duel.
After three innings, it was difficult for Seidou High School to replace Sawamura.
This was the case in the previous Akikawa battle. Seidou High School did not plan to let Sawamura Pitch the whole during the Akikawa battle.
It's a pity that the direction of the competition was not up to the members of Seidou to decide!
There was no way to open the score at first, and at that time, it was naturally impossible for Seidou High School to replace the Ace Sawamura.
"As far as tactics are concerned, we are equal. It depends on whose tactics will be more effective."
Ochiai said while pinching his goatee.
Kataoka nodded.
He has to admire Ochiai's rich experience.
The next direction of the game really depends on whether Seidou High School can draw the score from the very beginning like Sankou High School.
When the Sankou High School competed with Yakushi High School before, they won the lead by 9 points at the beginning.
If Seidou High School can also get that many points.
Then the show would be perfect! Even if Sawamura was substituted, there were still three pitchers in Seidou High School. Even if one person pitched two innings, it would definitely be enough for the members of Yakushi High School to drink a pot.
On the contrary, if Seidou High School did not pull such a big score in the first three innings.
Then the passive one is Seidou.
At that time, they will be caught in a dilemma, of whether they should replace Sawamura.
If you don't replace Sawamura, this game will naturally be much more stable.
But the trouble will be great!
Once Sawamura is replaced, the situation of the game will change rapidly, and it would be very bad if Yakushi High School reversed the situation.
This is the dilemma.
So some people will ask, what if Yakushi High School's luck is against the sky and defend against the attack of Seidou High School?
The two coaches at Seidou High School had never thought about such a situation.
But even if such a situation happens, the choice of Seidou High School would be rather simple.
Sawamura will stay on the mound and pitch the entire game.
If you can't win this game, what's the point of considering the semi-finals and finals?
When they are not in a very favorable situation, Seidou High School would not think about preserving their strength.
After all, in this kind of knockout tournament, as long as one loses, it means that the whole summer of Seidou High School is over.
In the first half of the game, Yakushi High School attacked.
