Ugokuga Make 0 Sho 144 Hai Kara Kangaeru Kantoku Ron (Gentosha Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] Akifumi Okada never sets out ahead of time. He always knows what his opponent is trying to do, and then he takes measures to overcome the opponent's plan, thus accumulating victories. He is able to do this because he always assumes the worst and makes "perfect preparations. He knows when an injury to a player in the corner of a sports paper will lead to an unexpected start by the opponent, and he knows what to do behind the scenes to keep the team united. In order to keep the team united, the unquestionable No. 4 hitter who behaved selfishly is removed from the starting lineup just before the opening day of the season. In order to give them confidence in their debut games, rookie pitchers are thrust into the opposing rotation's troughs. This is the mastery of the great general who once led the Hanshin team to the championship and now leads the Orix team to a great leap forward.

岡田彰布は決して先には仕掛けない。彼は作戦において、常に相手の狙いを知ってから、それを上回る策を講じ、勝利を積み重ねてきた。それは最悪の展開を常に想定して、「完璧な準備」をしているからできること。スポーツ紙の片隅にある一人の選手の負傷記事から相手の意外な先発を察知し、裏の裏をかく。チームの結束を保つために、勝手な振る舞いをした不動の四番打者を開幕直前にスタメンからはずす。デビュー戦で自信をつけさせるために、新人投手は相手のローテーションの谷間にぶつける。かつて阪神を優勝に導き、現在オリックスを躍進させる名将の極意。
