Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

Ochiai looked at Kataoka. Since he had decided to cooperate, it would be a win-win situation. He handed Kataoka a list of things he had observed in the Second Army in the past few days, as well as a recommendation form for the First Army.

"Coach Kataoka can refer to it. I think these players can be considered for direct promotion to the First Army, as well as the names of the First Army, and the candidates I am considering for the main selection!"

"The pitching staff is not short of manpower. There are four of them. Tojo can let him try the outfield. He can also be used as a pitcher by then, which is quite suitable. In addition to Hakushu in the right field, who can be confirmed, as for other outfield candidates, Aso and Guan Zhi are the two candidates.”

"As a second baseman, both Kominato and Kijima are pretty good with their own strengths, but considering that the team's lineup has been greatly reduced after graduating from the third year, I still recommend Kominato-san!"

Recommended list for the First Army:

Pitchers: Kurosawa Minamino, Kawakami Kenshi, Fukitani Akira, Sawamura Eijun

Catchers: Kazuya Miyuki, Hiroshi Ono

First baseman: Kenta Maezono, Ken Yamaguchi

Second baseman: Haruichi Kominato, Mio Kijima

Third baseman: Hiragasa Shoji, Kanemaru Shinji

Shortstop: Yoichi Kuramochi, Nakatanaka

Left/center fielder: Aso Takashi, Tojo Hideaki, Seki Naomichi

Right fielder: Kenjiro Hakushu

"As for the twenty places for the Autumn Conference, I have only filled eighteen of them so far. You can take a look at the remaining two, or just keep them!"

"Well, if there's nothing suitable, just leave it empty!"

"After all, our team's running-in period is very short. I hope you don't focus all your attention on the autumn conference championship. How about we directly use this conference to polish the team and take a longer-term view?"

"Eh? Why don't you just give up the Autumn Conference?" Ohta said in panic.

"Let's put it this way! I hope everyone doesn't have too high expectations. It's unrealistic to think that if you win the Hajia, you will definitely win the Spring Ajax! So I think we will mainly focus on training in the autumn conference. How about it, Coach Kataoka?!”

"I understand what you mean! I will think about it. The main thing is to see the wishes of the players. Next, we need to form a new team as soon as possible."

"Indeed, who is the candidate for the new captain? I think Miyuki's strength is the most suitable for the position of captain!" Ochiai watched Kataoka choose to skip his own question, stroking his beard and changing the topic.

"Yes! Yuki also recommended him to me!" Kataoka affirmed.

"What about the candidates for the assistant team? It will be very difficult if only Miyuki is the catcher, captain, or four batsman!"

"I want to choose Kuramochi and Maezono to help Miyuki. I believe he will do a good job!" Kataoka couldn't help but smile.

"Is that so? It seems that you already know the number of times you can hit the string bat! Then let's try it according to your wishes first. Time is tight, so we can only break it in as soon as possible and practice it in the game." Ochiai said slowly.

"Ah, yes!"

"I may give advice to those players at any time and make adjustments to your training methods."

"Understood, I'll leave it to you in this regard!" Kataoka stood up and bowed.

"Ah! This is also my responsibility. Let's work hard together in the future, Coach Kataoka!" Ochiai couldn't help but tremble, this person is so scary!

Ohta was confused, but those two? ? what's up! They sang and harmonized, and it felt like they were completely ignoring me!

On the other side of Qingxinliao, the third-year seniors are packing up their belongings and preparing to move out. Everyone must move out all the things in the dormitory before the start of school and move them to other dormitories.

It’s time to say goodbye to the seniors! It’s really time for the third-year seniors to retire! ! Everyone had an unreal feeling before, thinking that it was not that fast. But now looking at the suddenly empty dormitory, this thought was clearly imprinted in everyone's mind, and they realized that it was really over!

New team, new army, new position, everything is possible. If you are sentimental, I may seize the opportunity to pull you to the position of the next army. People who understand start to train like crazy and dare not slack off at all!

Of course, there are also confused people, such as Haruichi who was sitting on the bed thinking about life. Maezono looked at Haruichi who was still in the dormitory and said unexpectedly: "What's wrong, Minato? Didn't you go back with Ryosuke?"

"No!" Chunshi said disappointedly.

"Ah! Is that so? Why don't you come swing a bat with me?"

"No!" Haruichi said depressedly.

After Qianyuan was ready, he walked to the door and looked at the depressed junior. He couldn't help but invite him again: "Are you really not going? Then I will go by myself?" What's going on? Didn't we win the competition? Why is he unhappy? !

"Hmph, I really envy you! Being able to play in the game as a first-year student, even if it's just a substitute, is much better than us who can only stay in the audience to cheer!"

"Although I don't know why you are so depressed, I am not afraid that you will misunderstand. Let me tell you the truth! The last senior has retired, and I have been looking forward to this for a long time! Although the seniors won the championship, I'm happy too, but..."

"I am very unwilling to do so. I can only sit in the audience and cheer for everyone every time! This time the opportunity I have been waiting for has finally appeared. I will definitely stand there as a player. Now Beginning, the next step will be our era, I get so excited when I think about this!" Haruichi looked at Maezono in shock, he never thought that senior Maezono would actually tell him this.

"Hmph, someone like you who was selected as a freshman and stood on the Koshien field to accompany the seniors to enjoy Koshien's victory shouldn't understand our feelings in the stands!"

At this moment, Haruichi understood what his brother said. His chosen position was not secure. He could be taken away by people chasing him at any time. There was no guarantee that he would start first every time. There were still areas where he was lacking. There are many, the establishment of a new team is imminent, everyone is racing against time, there is not much time left!

Then Haruichi decisively followed Maezono's pace and cheered up, yes, it will only be me who stands in my brother's position next time, and I will never allow anyone else to take this position away.

Kuramochi in Dormitory No. 5 looked at Sawamura who was reluctant to part with Masuko-senpai and didn’t want to be separated from Masuko-senpai, and said it’s not like we can’t meet each other in the future, really!

"Kuramochi and Ozawamura, you have to work hard!" Masuko said with a smile.

"I will do it, Masuko-senpai! Next time I will let you see me carrying my trump card, hahaha!" Masuko looked at the laughing Sawamura and felt helpless. Although I think you have no chance, I still I look forward to seeing you carrying your trump card in third grade!

"Ah hahaha, of course, don't worry, Masuko-senpai! I will also like this kid." As soon as Masuko left, Kuramochi turned around and gave Sawamura a kick, plus a special move to kill the person. Fixed in front of you.

"Are you arrogant Sawamura? Is it so easy to be an ace?!" Really, you really deserve a beating when you look so arrogant!

"Kuramochi...senpai...I'm sorry..."

"Humph!"

"Ahem! Kuramochi-senpai, you're right. I'm going for a run right now. I won't let up!" Sawamura ran away as soon as Kuramochi let go.

"Huh?! Then what should I do?!" Kuramochi looked confused as he watched the dormitory suddenly become empty and he was the only one. What should I do? ! Otherwise, go find Miyuki! It just so happened that Kurosawa guy came home.

Kuramochi began a journey to find Miyuki, and Sawamura, who ran to the playground, found that his old enemy was secretly having an intimate date with his girlfriend. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Furiyani, you are running secretly on my back again. ! If I run, I will never lose! mumumumumu!”

However, his love rival was a natural guy who didn't take him seriously at all. He took his girlfriend and ran past him without even looking at him. He could only go find a spare tire for practice first.

Bored, Kuramochi first came to Miyuki's dormitory. When he found no one there, he thought he might have gone to the cafeteria to watch DVDs, so he went to the cafeteria again.

After there was still no one, I went to the place where everyone usually practices. Seeing a lot of people swinging bats, I couldn't help but feel a little itchy! Thinking about it, my blows really need to be improved! If I don't swing the bat first, I must find out where that guy is today!

"Azono!" Kuramochi shouted.

"What are you doing here? Go and rest!" Maezono, who was swinging the bat, was suddenly startled, oh, what is this guy doing here? !

"With so many people gathered together, what kind of secret training is this!" Maezono couldn't help crying and said, you guys, please stop being involved!

"Ah?! Actually, I'm just here to see Miyuki!" Kuramochi said helplessly, even though he wanted to practice a little bit, hahaha!

"Huh? That guy Miyuki isn't here, is he, Minato?" Maezono turned around and asked, Haruichi, who was feeding him a ball, said, "Is Kuramochi-senpai looking for Miyuki-senpai? He's never been here before!"

"Ha, where did that guy go! He's not here or there. Kurosawa has gone home, and the guy didn't say he was going home!" No way, did he go to practice secretly? (#?Д?)

"Ah hahaha, you guys keep practicing, I'll look for you later!" In order to confirm his conjecture, Kuramochi decisively went to find someone!

"Ignore those two guys, let's continue practicing! Minato!" Those two guys had better not come over, it's so cool to be in such a stable position!

Kataoka and Takashima at the door were watching this scene with relief. Everyone was very self-conscious! It's obviously during the holiday!

"Everyone must have been stimulated by the third-year seniors! This Koshien victory inspired them even more, making everyone more convinced that as long as they work hard, they will be rewarded. Even if the previous generation has left, their spirit will still be passed on to Where are the next generations!”

"The third graders have set a good example! Everyone wants to come back with a winner like the seniors!" Takashima feels great now. Using the name of Koshien winner, he should be able to recruit students in the future. Got more good seedlings!

In this case, Qingdao will become more and more powerful! I’m really looking forward to it! The Seido Baseball Club will definitely get better and better in the future!

"Yes! They have been doing very well!" Kataoka turned and left. Whether they were the retired third graders or the first and second graders, they all did well. Unfortunately, only 20 could represent the Seido baseball team in the game. Or eighteen people!

As a teacher, I can only hope that their youth will leave no regrets. Then it’s time to start the first step of the new team. Let’s first confirm the core of the captain!

Sure enough, Kuramochi on the other side caught Miyuki secretly practicing his swing in a corner of Qingdao, and said speechlessly: "You guys don't want others to see you working hard! And you are too impatient. Are you ready? You won’t have a day off?”

"call!"

Miyuki replied seriously: "There is no time!"

"call!"

"The seniors have retired, do you think our batting line can help our pitching staff?!"

"call!"

"In the past, we were weak in throwing and strong in attacking. Do you want us to become strong in throwing and weak in attacking in the future?"

"call!"

"If we lose the game for this reason, I will never agree with it!"

"call!"

"I watched a few games in Koshien again, and the scores scored by the stronger pitchers were basically scored by the seniors, and they have nothing to do with us."

"call!"

"Without the team of seniors in the future, there will be fatal loopholes in both attack and defense. It is a dream for us to go to Koshien this time!"

"call!"

"Guys like Narumiya and Sanada, not to mention the Autumn Tournament is the whole of Tokyo. With our lane strength, there is no time for us to be complacent anymore!"

Ming's pitching has definitely gotten stronger, and Yaoshi's line and defense have definitely gotten better, but we only have an unformed line and a defense full of holes.

"call!"

"call!"

Miyuki, you bastard, you are really a baseball player! I’m really unwilling! You're only as good as baseball! I have thought so far!

But bastard Miyuki just wait and see! I won't admit defeat. If I hit you, how could I let you stand out there alone?ヽ(`Д′)?
