It's July and the temperature has suddenly risen.

Players of the Yakushi High School baseball team practice daily after school.

Not long after they started, their faces were already covered with sweat, and even their sports vests were stuck to their skin.

"Damn it, what a ghost!"

Mishima muttered dissatisfiedly. He was quite unhappy with the weather.

"Stop complaining, this is where we are! When the summer competition comes, the temperature will exceed 30 degrees every day, and that will be the real hell."

Futian, a third grader, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm and warned the students around him.

The summer competition not only has a tight schedule.

This extraordinary high temperature is something they must overcome.

Players are doing fielding drills.

The players on the Yakushi High School baseball team are best at hitting.

Under the tutelage of Todoroki Raizo, the players on the Yakushima High School baseball team's hitting ability improved by leaps and bounds.

Now I'm going to do intensive exercises, but the effect may be average.

After all, their attacks have already reached a certain level, and it is not that easy to go further on this basis.

Defense, on the other hand, is the weak point of the Yakushima High School baseball team.

They hold the mentality of sharpening their weapons before the battle, and if they are unhappy, they will lose it.

Allowing players to choose to strengthen their defensive training has a high probability of improving their team's overall strength.

certainly.

There are also people who continue to practice striking.

For example, Li Lei.

The Yakushi High School baseball team has only one dedicated baseball field, and the players stand in their respective positions.

In addition, there is also a man on the pitcher's mound, throwing out the baseball in his hand.

And Li Lei was standing in the strike zone.

Not far in front of him, a friend fed the ball to the players and asked the person responsible for hitting to keep hitting the ball into the field.

Li Lei stood behind the opponent, staring eagerly at Junpei Sanada on the pitcher's mound.

This also means.

The medicine fielders on the court not only had to carry out regular fielding exercises, but also had to guard against the ball played from Li Lei's hand.

They were all highly concentrated.

Sanada threw the ball aggressively.

"Whoosh!"

The white baseball roared towards Li Lei in the blink of an eye.

Li Lei, who was in charge of hitting, raised his bat high and then swung it decisively.

"Ping!"

The white baseball was hit hard and flew away.

At the same time, another ball was also hit.

The two baseballs rushed toward the second baseman at the same time.

"Oh my God!"

Masuda's eyes widened and he stared at the two baseballs flying towards him. He was not prepared to miss any of them.

He planned to catch one ball with his glove and block the other ball with his body.

result……

The ball Li Lei hit suddenly hit the ground. The baseball bounced off the ground and hit Masuda directly on the inside of his thigh.

The captain of the Yakashi High School baseball team's face suddenly twisted and he bent over in pain.

At the same time, another ball hit his butt hard.

"Snapped!"

At that moment, Captain Masuda was extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, nothing major happened to him. He only needs a brief rest and should be able to return to the court.

"What a shame! I only got 13 hits today!"

After confirming that Captain Masuda was fine, Li Lei was secretly upset.

Yesterday he scored 15 hits. Not only did he not make any progress today, but he also lost two hits.

Sanada hit 23 of his 50 goals in total, which is basically close to 50%.

But the impact quality is not high.

It can be said that very few of the balls that are hit actually turn into hits.

You know, the ones responsible for the defense are players from the Yakushima High School baseball team.

Their defensive ability is very average.

If it were a top powerhouse in the country like Seido High School Baseball Team, even if it was just the second team.

These balls that Li Lei hit will eventually turn into hits, but I'm afraid there will be a few less.

Seeing that the summer competition is about to begin, how can Li Lei be reconciled?

Although Li Lei is not satisfied with his progress at all, he thinks that his progress is too slow.

But he didn't know.

His current performance is already considered a monster in the eyes of many teammates.

Don't forget, his opponent is Sanada Junpei.

Todoroki Raizo walked up to Sanada Junpei with a smile and asked in a low voice: "What percentage of your strength did you use this time?"

When Sanada Junpei first started practicing with Li Lei, he did not show his full strength.

He only used 80% of his strength.

If Sanada goes all out, both Todoroki Raizo and him are afraid of damaging Li Lei's enthusiasm.

"100%!"

Sanada Junpei smiled bitterly.

In just over a month, Li Lei has become completely accustomed to his pitching speed and is able to bite the ball accurately.

The performance is so strong that it makes people’s scalp numb.

"Didn't you use the winning kick?"

"There is no difference anymore. Even if the winning goal is used, the effect will not be obvious."

Sanada really didn't want to believe that after the other party grew up under his nose, it only took him a month to compete with him?

"Practice so much every day, he is already familiar with your pitching, which is also an important reason."

Todoroki Raizo's mind is very clear.

But even so, he had to admit that Li Lei's progress was beyond his imagination.

"Did Li Lei really do nothing in the strike zone before?"

Sanada obviously still couldn't believe this information.

After all, from his standpoint, Li Lei's performance definitely doesn't look like someone who has no talent in striking.

"He didn't have a good relationship with his previous supervisor. It didn't start after joining the national youth team. Even with his team, his relationship with the team coach was average..."

Todoroki Raizo explained with a smile.

If there are ranks in the thorns, Li Lei is definitely at the forefront.

"No wonder..."

This makes it easier to explain why Li Lei behaves like this.

"Let's do some digging, this guy..."

Just when Todoroki Raizo was about to define Li Lei, a figure quickly ran over.

"Teacher Muchuan?"

The team leader ran to the crowd panting.

"The results of the draw are out!"

The players on the Yakushima High School baseball team instantly stopped what they were doing and all came together.

As an unseeded team, the Summer Tournament of the Yakushima High School Baseball Team will undoubtedly be much more difficult.

Regardless of the number of games played or the probability of encountering strong teams, they are much more than those seeded teams.

But even so, the players are still very concerned about their group results.

After all, this result will largely determine where they can go in the future?

"It's all here, let's take a look!"
