Curse Shirou

Early the next morning, Kotomine Shirou and Zenyuan Shier packed up their things and took Xiaohui to Kobe City.

It didn't take long to take the Shinkansen express train. After arriving at the station, Kotomine Shiro asked Shier to check in at the hotel first, and he took the video tape to the BlueMars training base.

"Hi, I'm a private scout, and I want to go in and visit Supervisor Takagi, please convey it to me, thank you."

Kotomine Shiro showed the projected license to the gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper glanced at it, then picked up the landline and dialed an internal number.

"Supervisor Takagi, someone said he was a scout, come here..."

After separating from Zenyuan Shier, Kotomine Shiro specially used projection magic to fine-tune his nasal bone, brow bone, and chin, making himself close to the red Archer, which is his own appearance when he was about 30 years old.

Then use magic to temporarily darken the skin, and suddenly, a shorter red Archer appeared in this world.

In addition, he specially wore a suit and tie, and his visual age was directly mentioned as 27 years old or above.

Kotomine Shiro projected himself a 30-year-old job card. After all, the job of scouting is not something young people can do. It requires a lot of experience and an extremely keen eye.

Thirty years old can only be regarded as a fledgling rookie in this industry, but at least it is convincing. If you write about someone in your twenties, you are simply making fun of others.

After the janitor made the phone call, he let him in and went to the low building at the back to find the supervisor's office. Supervisor Takagi is currently observing training in the Second Army, and he will go back in about 10 minutes.

"In the Second Army..."

Kotomine Shiro walked into the base thoughtfully. Generally speaking, the first-line coaches will go to their own second army to observe. Usually there are only a few reasons, the most likely of which is the lack of personnel due to injuries.

In the absence of transfers or new signings, it is the fastest and most economical way to find players who can be used as temporary substitutes from the Second Army to be promoted to the first line.

Kotomine Shiro immediately searched for the last few BlueMars games, and sure enough, he saw that their first pitcher the day before yesterday, who was also the left fielder, was replaced due to injury.

It seems that it is not a minor injury, but serious enough that the coach must prepare a plan in advance.

But to be honest, although the batting ability of the first batter is not as good as the fourth and fifth batters, it is not easy to find a substitute, because in the Japanese professional baseball in [-], the first four batters are still used to score points. tactics.

That is to say, the first bat bears most of the running pressure and must be the fastest runner in the team.

Because he has a very good base running speed, as long as he can successfully hit the first base, the second and third batters will do anything to send the first batter into the scoring circle-that is, second base or third base, of course, They better get on base themselves if given the chance.

As for the fourth pick, it is generally the team with the strongest batting ability. It must withstand the pressure and hit a slugger or a home run to send all the teammates who hit the base back to the scorer.

The fifth bat generally has the hitting ability second only to the fourth bat, so as to prevent the pitcher from intentionally throwing a bad ball when there is no one on the third base, so that the fourth bat cannot hit the ball and is walked to base, thus blocking the third base. Four-stick hitting power.

The existence of the fifth bat is mainly used to deter the opponent's pitcher, so that they dare not walk the fourth bat easily, so as not to be scored more points in the fifth bat, thus forcing the pitcher to fight at the fourth bat in a tactical position.

As for the last six to nine bats, the arrangement is different according to the tactics of each team, but the scoring rate is generally much lower than that of the first four bats.

And their own pitchers are also mixed in. Usually as the starting pitcher, they must be the most powerful and durable players on the team. Sometimes they even pitch the whole game in a game.

In order to preserve the pitcher's physical strength, the team generally does not require him to score, or even to hit base, as long as he does not get injured or accidents when participating in other positions.

Knowing the injury situation of the first bat of BlueMars, Kotomine Shiro immediately found the starting point, and was ready to tell Takagi Sueto next.

After waiting for a while, the BlueMars supervisor, who was wearing a blue coach uniform, came back from the Second Army. His complexion was not very good. It seemed that the team's recent record had put him under a lot of pressure. In addition, he was injured again. For the sluggish BlueMars, it can be described as worse.

"Hi, I'm Takagisuke, tell me why you're here."

Being in a bad mood and having to give additional training to the front line later, Takagisuke didn't have time to talk politely with this young man before getting down to business, but asked him straight to the point, what is his purpose in looking for him.

Kotomine Shiro briefly introduced himself. Of course, the content is all edited. Then he stood up and pushed the video tape to the other party, saying very politely:

"I heard that one of your team's players has been injured recently. I believe that the player I recommend to you can solve the current troubles of BlueMars."

Suketo Takagi took the video tape, raised his eyebrows slightly, his forehead lines were all piled up, and asked him:

"Oh? The tone is really serious. Which game is your candidate from? How many years have you played professional baseball?"

Kotomine Shirou said with a hint of mystery and confidence:

"I think you may be more interested in the performance of the players than these. You may wish to discuss other issues after you watch the video."

"Hmph, young man..."

Kotomine Shirou saw the other party curl his lips, as if muttering something like a newborn calf, he didn't mind, just sat there and waited for the other party to play the VCR.

There was a playback box on the desk. After Takagi inserted the video tape, the video edited by Kotomine Shiro began to play on the wall-mounted screen.

The opening was Zenyuan Shier's 2000-meter sprint timing, which was only 0.02 seconds slower than that of the Japanese competitors in the [-] Sydney Olympic Games, which can be called the opening lightning strike.

Takagi silently put his hand over his mouth, as if he was thinking deeply, but he was actually covering up his shock, because there will be a batting demonstration next.

For this part of the shoot, Kotomine Shiro specially learned ball types other than straight balls and cross balls, but no matter what kind of change ball, Zenyuan Shier can hit the ball calmly, and more than [-]% of his hits are home runs.

If it wasn't for secretly biting his lip, Takagi Sukeren's jaw would have dropped. Does such a player really exist?

Why hasn't pro baseball been discovered at this age?

Isn't this video really synthetic?

As if seeing through his thoughts, Kotomine Shirou said nonsense solemnly:

"This player is called Chanyuan Shier. He used to study martial arts in China and only returned to live in China in recent years. Because I found that he was very talented in baseball, I persuaded him to give up martial arts and come to professional baseball. In the video, he You have also seen his strength, and I hope that a famous coach like you can use such talented players without sticking to the league's selection system."

"Cough cough..."

Takagisuke who was wearing a high hat coughed twice, and he was indeed moved.

Not to mention, at least for now, BlueMars really needs a qualified substitute player. He wanted to find it from the Second Army, but he has been going to see it for the past two days. It is really difficult.

If someone is randomly selected to replace him, in such an important position, it may make the progress of the next game more difficult.

If this monastery Shier can have the strength shown in the video, no, even if it is only [-]% of the strength in the video, it will be enough to meet the requirements.

Of course, this behavior of disregarding the league tradition and using non-Jiashien and non-foreign youth training players has to be covered up on the surface.

He nodded pretendingly, and said in his mouth:

"Ah, it turned out to be a martial arts master. The martial arts in modern Japan have indeed declined. It is indeed a very wise move for you to lead him to professional baseball. But just watching the video, well..."

"Understood. If it's convenient for you, I'll ask him to come over today so that you can think about it yourself. What do you think?"

"Well, let's do it this way, let him come by four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, then thank you..."

After reaching an agreement with Takagisuke, Kotomine Shirou, like all slippery social animals, left after a polite compliment.

Back at the hotel, Kotomine Shirou released five sea monsters in the room, asked them to accompany Xiaohui for a while, and then took Zenyuan Shier to BlueMars to participate in the interview training.

Seeing Xiaohui reluctantly chasing after him when he left, Kotomine Shirou felt that the family should really add another member.

If it doesn’t work, I should ask Mr. Joestar if Iggy can be brought here. That dog is as smart as a human being. If he can help take care of the children occasionally, he can also take care of it.
