"Azhe, you can't do it even if you say it!"

Nishino Kazuya quickly took two steps to the side to prevent the angry Nishino Tetsuya from having to punch him.

"It's all up to me, Kazuya, you can do it."

"Isn't it your fault?"

"Obviously you misled me, okay?" Nishino Tetsuo said.

Putting his tone in a calm tone, he explained: "I am a catcher, and I am indeed responsible for losing so many runs, but I went up to the mound and asked you if you can handle it,"

"Didn't you say you could do it?"

Hearing what Tetsu Nishino thought, Nishino Kazuya almost became furious.

"Should I say that I can't do it at that time? Have you ever seen any pitcher who wants to get off the mound!"

"Well......"

After thinking about it, Tetsu Nishino discovered that high school pitchers did not leave the mound by themselves. Most of them were forced to be replaced, and they all looked unwilling when they were replaced.

Seeing that he couldn't say anything to refute, Nishino Kazuya complained: "I have never lost so many points."

"Seven points."

"It's all my fault. It's so tragic."

"But fortunately it's a training match for the ministry. If it were a match against other schools, then I would really cry."

At least Nishino Kazuya still found some place to comfort himself.

After all, the seniors are so familiar with his ball, so it's normal to hit it.

"It turns out that we still have to consider this situation..."

Nishino Tetsu murmured.

From Kazuya Nishino's words, he understood that there are still so many changes in the psychology of pitchers.

The catcher also needs to be aware of the changes in the pitcher's psychology in a timely manner and provide timely guidance. These experiences cannot be seen from the game video.

"I understand, Kazuya."

Tetsu Nishino suddenly said.

"Eh? What do you know?"

"You want me to be stronger in the future, right? No problem, as long as I go on the court to catch people, you can just listen to me!"

"If I tell you to come down, you have to come down!"

"ha?"

With a puzzled look on his face, Nishino Kazuya couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Is that what I meant? Why does it feel like Azhe has overinterpreted it?

I'm just complaining!

However, seeing Tetsu Nishino's determined look, clearly firmly believing that all other catchers were like this, Kazuya Nishino felt very bad.

"Azhe, it's good that you listen to the pitchers' opinions more, really."

"No, no, no, I don't think Tsuji-senpai is like me. Kazuya, please stop talking. I understand."

"..."

After talking all the way, the two people returned to their respective homes.

At home, Tetsu Nishino returned to his room after taking a bath and eating.

I turned on my phone and found that I had received a lot of messages from Moriyama Aoi-senpai on Line, which were about the specific training and competition arrangements of the baseball club.

After reading them one by one, Tetsu Nishino replied.

Tetsu Nishino: Thank you, Aoi-senpai, for your hard work.

After a while, he received a reply.

Moriyama Aoi: Tetsu-kun is the one. You work so hard in the competition, so you have to work hard in the future (laughs).

Tetsu Nishino: Yeah (laughing).

After checking the time, he realized that it was still very early. He took out his baseball notes and began to reflect on today's game.

Time passed in a flash, and Tetsu Nishino, who had written several pages, put away his notes and breathed a sigh of relief.

After coming back from washing up, he lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

............

late at night.

Baishan High School dormitory.

With a sense of irritation, Tsuji Hiroki reached out and found his cell phone.

Swish.

Suddenly a light appeared in the darkness.

After getting used to it for a while, Tsuji Hiroki looked at the time displayed on the screen, "Is it already 1 a.m.?"

He stared blankly at the screen of his mobile phone. He had been resting since about 10 o'clock, but he still couldn't fall asleep until this time.

Can't sleep.

After today's game, Tsuji Hiroki had an impulsive idea:

Let Tetsu Nishino start serving as the team's main catcher!

Before the summer came, let Tetsu Nishino grow up through playing games. He even handed him the position of catcher in the summer.

As soon as this idea appeared, it kept lingering in Tsuji Hiroki's mind, making him unable to sleep for a long time.

During this period, Tetsu Nishino's hard work and astonishing speed of progress touched Hiroki Tsuji, putting him in a difficult decision.

"I want to be an immediate contributor to the team!"

The boy's firm words kept popping up in Tsuji Hiroki's mind.

If given enough opportunities, he believes that Tetsu Nishino can do it and can definitely become the backbone of the team.

But if we just follow the plan step by step, it will be difficult for Hiroki Tsuji, who will retire in a few months, to see his juniors active in the competition.

On the other hand, Hiroki Tsuji was also worried that letting Tetsu Nishino serve as catcher directly would put too much pressure on him and overwhelm him.

The two thoughts in his mind have been fighting each other until he thinks about it now.

Looking at the photos on the screensaver, Hiroki Tsuji couldn't help but smile.

That was a photo taken together during the county meeting last year after their Hakusan High School team won three rounds. Everyone's face was filled with smiles.

It was great at that time.

Tsuji Hiroki recalled that scene. It was the happiest moment he had played baseball in so many years.

Then he remembered the words left to him by his retired senior.

"Hiroki, we believe you can make the Hakusan High School Baseball Club the pride of your hometown!"

But now Tsuji Hiroki feels very confused.

The team's strength has reached a bottleneck and it is difficult to take another step forward.

What's worse is that everyone's mentality fluctuates, and they gradually lose the direction and motivation to move forward, and everything seems to have become stagnant.

To change the current situation of the team, Tsuji Hiroki's idea is to introduce new changes.

At this time, Tetsu Nishino happened to join the club, and he made rapid progress in a short period of time. This was noticed by everyone.

No one denies Tetsu Nishino's talent. Gochi Iwata even believes that Tetsu Nishino will have the strength to enter the main roster before long.

As for why Tetsu Nishino must be appointed as the catcher, rather than the relatively simple outfielder first.

Tsuji Hiroki has his own selfish motives inside.

After all, catchers are much more difficult to train than outfielders. Now the substitute catchers at White Mountain High School are all outfielders.

Once Hiroki Tsuji retires, Hakusan High School will not even have a serious catcher. How could he let Tetsu Nishino practice the outfielder position?

After thinking about it carefully, Hiroki Tsuji felt that this idea was quite feasible.

He doesn't plan to pursue a career in baseball after graduating from high school, and he won't cling to the position of catcher in the last few months.

On the contrary, he felt that he would be more satisfied if he could train Nishino Tetsu into an excellent catcher.

"Well, that's it!" Tsuji Hiroki said with determination.

Before the summer meeting, let Tetsu Nishino serve as the starting catcher in all games!

If his performance is recognized by everyone, then let him directly take over the position of catcher and spend the last summer with the third grade.

That’s it!
Chapter completed!
