NOVEL NEXT Chapter 66: Tune In
Chapter 66: Tune In
“Next game, please let me play!”
The night is deep.
The bright moon was in the sky, shining on the boy’s body, covering him with a soft white light.
Such directness, such non-holdback.
After seeing Sawamura’s performance, has he been unable to settle down on the bench?
“To be honest, with your current ball control and defense, it is still difficult to hand over key situations to you. When you become able to defend, I will give you a chance.”
If Kataoka’s attitude towards Furuya was seen by his students who were players of Seidou, they would drop their jaws in shock.
When did the Rough Coach also have such a kind-hearted side?
Generally speaking, who will take the initiative to request an opportunity? That’s the same as asking for trouble.
In Seidou, Kataoka is very supportive of those players who are willing to endure hardships and have good skills. As long as you do both, Kataoka will give you a chance.
This is also the reason why the competition pressure on the Seidou team is so great, and everyone can unite as one and be positive.
But in the same way, Kataoka doesn’t hate those who directly express their ambitions.
Like Furuya, like Sawamura in the previous life.
Positive performance will also win more opportunities for yourself. (A/N: Actually, I am very doubtful. If it wasn’t for Sawamura’s character, the first year’s summer competition might not have anything to do with Sawamura.)
Therefore, Kataoka did not resent the self-valuation of Furuya but gave pointers instead.
At the same time, in Sawamura’s dormitory, a tragic incident of the senior bullying the junior is taking place.
“Cross Hold!”
“Scorpion Hold!”
“The immortal monkey steals the peach!!!” (Nut Crush)
“Ah~~~~~~”
In front of the eighteen grappling skills of Kuramochi, Sawamura screamed from behind.
“Murder, Kohai abuse, school violence, is there anyone in charge? Somebody help~”
Sawamura’s voice was loud while being beaten to death by Kuramochi. But I don’t know if it’s too dark, or if he has a bad relationship. Sawamura cried for a long time, but no one came in to take a look.
“Captain! Ryu-niisan, Help!!!”
Seeing that it didn’t work, Sawamura immediately looked for someone who could restrain Kuramochi.
Unfortunately, still no effect.
Whether it was Captain or Kominato Ryosuke, none of them appeared.
‘It’s over~’
Sawamura looked desperately at Kuramochi, who had gone completely mad, struggling in vain.
“Don’t yell, no one will pay attention to you even if you scream your throat out.”
Kuramochi smiled and approached Sawamura: “The game is played to the full during the day, and you have to practice until 9 p.m. You must be very tired, so let the Senpai come and give you a good massage. The secret technique - Cross Hold!!!”
“What!!!!”
In the middle of the night, in Seidou’s Spirit, a shrill scream was suddenly heard.
Sawamura felt that he was wronged, although it was just jesting, it hurt.
But he was inexplicably attacked by Kuramochi, and in the end, he didn’t even know why.
It was an unjust death.
No matter how much he asks Kuramochi, he doesn’t say anything. The next day, he talked and laughed at him again, as if the guy who went crazy yesterday was not him.
“Sure enough, he is a delinquent boy in the rebellious period of his youth.”
Sawamura secretly made up his mind again to stay away from Kuramochi in the future.
On the second day, in addition to the daily training, Seidou High School consisted of some simple practical training. There is no running and physical training that consumes too much physical strength.
After all, this is during the competition, and it is very important to maintain physical strength.
During the fielding practice, Sawamura and Furuya were together.
Sawamura’s outstanding performance was in stark contrast to Furuya. After practice, Sawamura was ready to go to the bullpen to find Chris.
His partnership with Chris yesterday was perfect.
After considering that there may be two people playing, Sawamura thinks he must communicate with Chris. As for Miyuki, although there is not much cooperation in this life, in the past life, the two of them partnered for a full two years.
Sawamura is more confident about partnering with Miyuki.
Contrary to what he said, even though he was Sawamura’s master. When the two officially partnered, there were not many.
“Can you teach me fielding?”
Just as Sawamura turned to leave, he suddenly heard a calm voice behind him.
‘Ask your potential rival for defense advice?’
Sawamura looked at Furuya in surprise.
“Is it okay?”
Furuya asked with a frown.
‘Is this the attitude of asking people for advice?’
Sawamura complained wildly in his heart, if he hadn’t known that Furuya was born like this, he would have left directly.
Forget it, for the sake of the good friendship between the two in their previous lives, Sawamura endured it.
“It is okay!”
Sawamura nodded in agreement.
On the field, it is very difficult to train the defense. Especially for pitchers who have to deal with a variety of situations!
Although Furuya is very good at pitching, in terms of defense, he is a pure cabbage.
It is difficult for him to make an advancement in a short time, but it is not completely impossible.
“The pitcher’s defense will be different because of the changes in the situation and the changes in the batter. If I want to talk about it, I’m afraid I can’t finish it in three months. But in general, it’s nothing more than three aspects, the first is to stop the ball, the second is covering, and the third is containment. With your characteristics, most people don’t dare to steal bases. So there is no need to rush to practice for containment. The first thing to do is to catch the ball and cover…”
Combining the characteristics of Furuya, Sawamura concluded Furuya. As long as he can do these two aspects, he can barely play.
Sawamura gave him all the know-how, and Furuya’s progress was also very fast.
Not only Sawamura’s two-hour guidance, but the most important thing is that after joining the First String, Furuya has been intensively training for a long time, and his current performance has just accumulated.
“This guy’s talent is really scary!”
Furuya is making rapid progress at almost the speed that Sawamura can see.
“I can’t relax either.”
After seeing Furuya who was engrossed in practice, Sawamura went to the bullpen to find Chris.
Coach Kataoka, who instructing Masuko and the others to swing, saw all of this in his eyes.
***
“The opponent for the next game is out?”
In the afternoon, the opponents of the quarter-finals of the Seidou Kanto Tournament also came out.
“Chiba Prefecture Narita Industrial!”
When they knew their opponents, Seidou’s players all breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Narita is also very strong, it isn’t a powerhouse, and Chiba is not a battle zone. It shouldn’t be very difficult for Seidou to win this match.
Seidou can almost already book in advance, the place for the top four in Kanto.
