Seeing Tetsu Nishino enter the stadium, Xiaoyuan Haidou, who was originally practicing blows, stopped and shouted in surprise.

"Niyano, right? We met again after Jiaziyuan, haha."

In the three rounds of this summer, Baishan High School played against Baode Academy. In that game, Xiaoyuan Haidou was deeply impressed by Tetsu Nishino.

Xiaoyuan Haido walked over with a bat and hugged Nishino Tetsu's shoulder with his right hand.

"At that time, I said I might have a chance to meet, but I didn't expect to meet again so soon."

"Yes, Senior Xiaoyuan..."

Although Koyuan Haito speaks in a very friendly tone, Takashi Nishino always feels that Koyuan Haito, who is smiling and squinting, hides other meanings inside.

"I was selected in the first grade. I'm really amazing, better than me at that time."

Koyuan Haito patted Nishino Tetsuya's shoulder hard and said, "Now we are teammates. As a third-grade senior, I will take good care of you."

"Okay, Senior Xiaoyuan... Please give me some advice." Takashi Nishino agreed with a gritty bullet.

Then Xiaoyuan Haito went back with satisfaction and continued to practice blows. Okugawa Kyoto, who was beside him, came over.

"Xiaozhe, it seems that you have a good reputation and know you too."

"It's just that Jiaziyuan has met, maybe I'll remember me at that time."

While explaining, Tetsuo Nishino and they began to line up under the U18 coach.

After lined up, the coaching team first introduced themselves.

Supervisor Yuji Nagata is a member of the Technical Committee of the Japanese University Balloon League and is also the supervisor of the former Bodega Academy.

The other three coaches are Nakai Soki, the supervisor of Hirakawa High School of Yaho College, and the supervisor of Satoshi Tsuke Hokawa, the supervisor of Hakkai High School.

Then comes the self-introduction of each player in the queue.

When listening to other people's introductions, Takashi Nishino found that he knew quite a lot of people.

Needless to mention the small garden of Baode Academy, there is also the captain of the Japanese junior high school student Japanese sailing.

Among them, Osaka Kirie has the most players, with 5 players.

Kashiki Ren, Koizumi Koien, Takuya Nakagawa, Kyoto Fujiwara, and Aoi Nei. It can be said that Osaka Kirie's winning lineup has reached more than half.

The coach took the players to a simple warm-up and then began to adapt to the training.

Only wooden bats are allowed in the rules of the U18 Baseball Asian Championship, which is the same as international and professional baseball, but there are differences from Japanese high school baseball.

Japanese high school baseball allows metal bats.

Rules are used to hit the Japanese high school baseball game, but almost no high school players do this.

Takano's use of metal bats is itself intended to increase the strike rate and encourage offense.

After tasting the sweetness of the power of metal bats, no player will give up the metal bat that can improve the strike level and use wooden bats.

This creates a problem.

After Japanese high school baseball players get used to metal bats, it is difficult for them to adapt to international and professional baseball games. Many people are stuck at the wooden bats, causing the blow level to plummet.

For U18 members, the most obvious discomfort is that during the shooting confrontation, the hitter frequently interrupts the wooden stick.

On the pitcher mound, Ji Mulian, who served as the pitcher, made a shot and threw an inside corner kick close to the hitter.

Takuya from Urawa Academy waved the stick suddenly.

Click!

The two objects flew backwards in an instant. In addition to the baseball that was knocked away, there was also the one end of the broken bat.

"Ah! Sorry, it's interrupted." Takuya Hinama embarrassedly picked up the broken stick that fell in the Indori.

The ball just now hit the slender part of the wooden stick, and Takuya Leema did not swing well, causing the support point of the bat to break instantly.

"It's okay." The broken rod flew out far away from the pitcher mound, so Shimulian didn't care.

Takuya Hinama is Urawa Academy's four-ball team, leading the team to the quarterfinals of Kakoenen this summer, and finally lost to Kirie Osaka.

Since the first grade, Takuya Hinama has served as the four-standard player, which is rare in a prestigious school like Urawa College, a strong team in Saitama Prefecture, and shows his excellent strike level.

Of course, the hitters who are now selected for U18 either have a 50% or 60% or 60% of the high school game, or have dozens of home runs, all of which are the best among their peers.

"Um……"

U18 Supervisor Yuji Nagata frowned and carefully examined the players' adaptability to wooden bats.

Most of the players selected this time are in third grade and almost all have plans to continue their baseball career, so after the summer high school baseball game, they have begun to practice with wooden bats.

Moreover, during the two and a half years of training in high school, most excellent players will also practice batting with wooden sticks in their daily life.

Even so, their progress to adapting to the wooden bats is not satisfactory now.

After observing for a while, Superintendent Yuji Nagata saw that several players were adapting well and secretly wrote it down in his heart.

"Neiwei, Xiaoyuan, and... Nishino."

The decision was made after the recruitment of Nishino Tetsuya, Nagata Yuji's supervisor had some considerations.

The player on the U18 list this time, the main catcher he selected is Osaka Kirige's official catcher Koizumi Koizumi.

Take football as an example.

In short-term games, the substitute goalkeeper has very little playing time, similar to the situation in football games, and the substitute catcher in baseball doesn't get much playing time.

The backup catcher's task is to catch the ball that has not been on the court in the pitching shed.

In this way, bringing a player who can catch, beat and walk will expand the space that can be adjusted on the spot on the spot.

Supervising Nagata Yuji has long considered the arrangements for Nishino Tetsuya to fight, or DH to attack.

"There is still time, let's observe again."

After all, today is the first day of training, and Supervisor Nagata Yuji did not require the players to form a combat-capable team all at once.

……………………

After the training, the players left the stadium and walked towards the accommodation.

There were many media gathering outside the stadium following this U18. When the players came out, they went up to interview.

This short interview was allowed by Takanoren, with the goal of expanding the publicity of teenage baseball and attracting more children to join the baseball.

Xiaoyuan Haido walked out with her arms around Nishino Tetsuya's shoulders.

Some reporters saw them and went over and asked, "Xiaoyuan player, Nishino player, it seems that you have a good relationship. Have you known each other before?"

"Of course I know."

Every time I smile, Xiaoyuan Haidou's eyes narrowed into a slit, giving people a feeling of laughing happily.

With the increased patting of the shoulder, Xiaoyuan Haidou said: "We met after Hagar had a fight."

"That Xiaozhe left me a deep memory, so I was very happy when I saw him."

"So that's the case, does Nishino feel the same?"

The reporters felt that the relationship between the players was really good, and they quickly established a relationship between friends and seniors.
Chapter completed!
