Chapter 48: Starting Candidates
the next day.
White Mountain High School Baseball Field.
During the training break, Tetsu Nishino gathered all the first-year students together and told them his plan.
"What do you think? Do you have any comments?"
Nishino Tetsu asked, he wanted to know other people's opinions.
Naohiko Tamura, who plays shortstop, was surprised. He didn't expect Tetsu Nishino to actually come up with a plan so seriously. He thought Tetsu Nishino would just make a rough arrangement.
Sensing Nishino Tetsu's determination, Tamura Naohiko thought for a moment and said seriously: "Don't worry, Tetsu-san, we believe in your choice. I think this plan can be given a try."
"That's right, Tetsusang, we will definitely do our best." Second baseman Oishi Reitama agreed.
In the plan designed by Tetsu Nishino, their two positions, shortstop and second baseman, must play important roles in both hitting and fielding.
"Don't be afraid, you still have me."
Iba Tata said that Tetsu Nishino placed him in the fourth-stick position as a recognition of his ability, and he must respond to Tetsu Nishino's expectations of him.
First baseman Shogo Konda also slowly encouraged: "Tetsu-san, let's work hard together. The team cannot be sustained by one person, it depends on the efforts of each of us."
Other teammates spoke one after another to express their support. Tetsu Nishino's arrangements have been basically considered thoroughly, and they have no reason to object unless they come up with a better way.
That's right.
The starting candidates arranged by Tetsu Nishino are currently the strongest players in the first grade.
First-year starters:
One stick, catcher, Tetsu Nishino.
Second bat, shortstop, Tamura Naohiko.
Three bats, second baseman, Oishi Lingyu.
Four sticks, stalwart, Iba Tata.
Five bats, first baseman, Shogo Konda.
…
Eighth batsman, right fielder Teruaki Tatsumi.
Nine bats, pitcher, Kazuya Nishino.
Among them, the six and seven teams were arranged by Tetsu Nishino based on the strength shown by his teammates in daily training.
The above is Tetsu Nishino’s arrangement of starters for the red-white game.
Since the seniors have gone all out, of course they have to stay with them until the end!
After learning the lesson from the junior high school game, Tetsu Nishino decided not to follow the principle of fair playing time.
In sports competitions that require victory, sending teammates who are not strong enough to suffer torture is a kind of harm to teammates, and it is a self-righteous and irresponsible approach.
Of course, when it is necessary to train the younger generation, this issue must be discussed from different angles.
However, Tetsu Nishino didn't think that much. He just believed that the red-white match was a match that showed the will of the senior and junior teams. Although it was not a tense situation, it must be treated with caution.
This does not mean that Tetsu Nishino completely gives up on other teammates and does not give them a chance to play.
Tetsu Nishino said to his teammates who were arranged to sit on the bench first.
"You don't have to worry. The game is a nine-inning game. With the current physical fitness of the starting players, they may not be able to last through nine innings, so you will definitely have a chance to play."
The teammates who were assigned to the bench were not discouraged. Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"A true man, Chesang."
"We still know ourselves. With our current strength, we will be abused when we go on the court."
"It's okay. We will give you loud support from the audience. This is not a small expense, haha."
Hearing what they said, Nishino Tetsuya felt relieved.
Nishino Kazuya put his hands on his chest and clenched his fists, and said: "Zhe, don't worry, Teruaki and I will throw the ball hard, you can do it according to your own ideas."
"Yeah!" Tatsuki Teruaki also nodded heavily.
None of the first-year students noticed that they had unknowingly established a unanimous view of Nishino Tetsu in just a short period of time from joining the club to now.
Recognition.
trust.
Even trust.
Feeling everyone's recognition of himself, Tetsu Nishino finally concluded and said.
"Since no one has any other opinions, it's settled. Let's train hard while there are still a few days before the game."
"Everyone, we must let our seniors see our efforts and determination!"
Tetsu Nishino is very impressive.
……………………
The time to prepare for the game passed much faster than usual, and the day of the red and white game arrived as scheduled.
afternoon.
White Mountain High School Baseball Field.
The weather at this time is very good and the temperature is moderate.
The boys in the baseball club are doing warm-up exercises enthusiastically.
There were several spectators standing next to the baseball field. They were nearby residents. They usually pay a little attention to the situation of the Baishan High School baseball club. Today is a good opportunity to inspect the new generation of the baseball club. Some of them who have free time came to take a look.
Uncle Masao Tanaka also left the convenience store to his wife early and sneaked out to watch the game. He had been looking forward to it for a long time, because he had been looking forward to Kazuya Nishino ever since he suddenly noticed the results of Kazuya Nishino's class.
Their performance after entering high school.
"And Xiao Zhe..." Tanaka Masao couldn't help but whisper.
That day, after Masao Tanaka led the amateur team to play a match against the second army, there was another name on his list of expectations.
Tetsu Nishino.
Although Masao Tanaka is not a professional scout, he thinks he still has some vision. With the athletic talent shown by Tetsu Nishino, as long as he can grow up, he will definitely become the pillar of their Hakusan High School baseball club.
Before the game, Tetsu Nishino successfully got the first offense, which made him secretly excited. The first offense meant that their first grade students had the opportunity to launch an attack before all the senior students were in game condition.
After the warm-up exercise.
Tetsu Nishino summoned all the first-grade students, and the 16 teenagers formed a circle side by side.
"Everyone, remember," Tetsu Nishino said in a deep voice, "No matter what the competition is, we must fight until the last moment!"
"1...2..."
"Come on!"
The 16 teenagers roared in unison.
On the other side, the senior team.
"The first-year students there are quite impressive," said the director, Hiroki.
"It's different from when we were shivering."
Next to him, Deputy Minister Gochi Iwata also joked.
Hiroki asked strangely: "Why is the team spirit of this first-year class so much better than our two classes?"
Gochi Iwata, who has been leading the first-year training, explained: "Maybe it's because of the junior Nishino Tetsu. I found that the first-year students quite trust him. Maybe he organized it."
Zhejun?
Hiroki was a little surprised. In those first-grade games, he led an army to play in exchange games and had no chance to see how the first-grade students got along.
Chapter completed!
