Chapter 32: The Weakest Opponent (Five Watches)
After advancing to the quarterfinals, Seido High School was lucky. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Their opponent in the quarterfinals was Shizuoka High School, the weakest player in the quarterfinals.
Shizuoka High School in Shizuoka Prefecture, of course, can't really be weak, but compared with the Seimasa Society, Holy Light Academy, Didong, Troll, Black Feather and other strong schools, he seems to be relatively ordinary in the past and now.
Osaka Seimasa is a famous family in Osaka, and its strength is extraordinary, defeating last year's Koshien runner-up Osaka Kiryu High School and entering Koshien. The reputation of the Holy Light Academy is no less than that of Qingdao High School, and it has not sunk, and it is the old top four of Koshien. Teto is from Tokyo, and the ace pitcher in the first year is known as the Little Prince of Tokyo, and his strength should not be underestimated. The first year of the troll Otomaki has a maximum ball speed of nearly 150KM. Karabuha High School is known for not playing cards according to common sense, and it will be very tricky for anyone who touches it.
Compared to these troublesome opponents, Shizuoka is simply too cute. Of course, Shizuoka is basically content with the current fight, and the other seven in the quarterfinals, he is afraid of anyone he meets.
In these fearsome opponents, they themselves have tendencies. One of the last things they want to encounter is Qingdao High School.
Seido High School is now almost recognized as the No. 1 runner in the country, and there are seven or eight players in the team who can hit a home run, and those who can't hit a home run are even more difficult to deal with than those who can hit a home run.
Shizuoka's strength is relatively average, and he has always relied on his overall strength to fight. They cooperate tacitly, and their strength is average, even if it is four sticks, it is not too strong, and nine sticks are not too weak. The garrison also relies on the whole, and it is neither too strong nor too weak.
After three games, the scores were 4:0, 2:1, and 3:2.
Although they both won, except for the first game, the other two games were narrowly won, and there is nothing unusual about the second and third rounds of exits.
When Chris got Shizuoka's information and video, he held it for a long time and said, "Just play normally!" ”
"Don't be careless!"
Kataoka was dissatisfied with Chris's perfunctory attitude and added. But he added this sentence, and he couldn't say any more. said that his disciple couldn't score in front of such an opponent, Kataoka resolutely didn't believe it. It is said that the pitchers of Qingdao will lose a lot of points in the face of such an opponent, and Nakazuoka is even more scoffing.
It was a game that was destined to know the outcome in advance.
In the magazine "Baseball Kingdom", Fujio is also full of praise for Seido's luck.
Although they met Toho in the first round and the powerhouse Dazhongjing High School in the third round, these two schools cannot be regarded as real strong teams. (The later outbreak of Hashimoto Yuyan was extraordinary, and at the time it was not thought that the two schools posed any threat to Seido.) )
When I was eight into four, I encountered Shizuoka who was the weakest.
After advancing to the semifinals, Seido High School's opponent was the winner between Teto High School and Troll Otomaki. Although these two schools are not easy to achieve, they are not comparable to the Holy Optics Garden and the Black Feather High School.
The opponent in the final is the strongest enemy, and this is the rhythm of making it all the way to the final! Therefore, Fujifu thinks that Seido High School is really lucky, and although it is the first time to go to Koshien in six years, there is still a lot of hope of winning the championship.
On the day of the race.
Seido High School competed in Shizuoka High School.
Shizuoka attacked first, and Seichi's starting pitcher was ace Koichiro Tanami.
Sawamura and Shibuyani's last game was still three days ago, but they still feel a little tired. In the face of the country's first-class playing line, they are under unprecedented pressure, and of course, this also indirectly stimulates the growth of these two pitchers. They each evolved in their own way.
"Good shot!"
The curveball at a large angle directly frightened the hitters of Shizuoka and retreated again and again.
Shizuoka's first batter looked at the bald Tanba Koichiro in shock, and couldn't believe the information the team had gathered before.
Of the four pitchers who have played in Seido High School, the most tricky is the first-year high-speed pitcher Akira Shitani, whose high-speed ball is difficult for Shizuoka to hit as long as he throws it into the good ball zone. In second place is the first-year left pitcher Sawamura Eijun, judging from the data, he is a rare left thrower, and he is a quirk ball pitcher, although it is not as difficult to play as Akira Shibuyani, but it is very difficult to play well. With Qingdao's garrison, his difficulty is no less than that of Tsugu Xiao.
In addition to these two people, the third in place is their No. 1 trump card - Koichiro Tanba.
But even the third-ranked Koichiro Tanba made Shizuoka's stick feel a little tricky.
"Ping!"
The second ball was knocked out of bounds.
"Out of bounds."
Yukiichi is also a little boring, and it is too easy to deal with such an opponent. It's a simple way to earn two good goals.
Then the next ball, the high bad ball.
The Shizuoka hitter, who was being chased, swung his bat in the face of this bad ball.
"Smack!"
Bat and baseball rub shoulders.
"Good shot! Strikeouts out. ”
The strikeout was the first strikeout, and Tambo shouted excitedly at the pitcher's mound.
In the cowshed of Qingdao Road.
Chris said to Kataoka with relief: "Although the strength has been comprehensively surpassed by Akira Shibuyani and Sawamura, Tanba's state is still getting better and better, and now he is finally starting to show his ace posture." ”
Minister Ota also regretted: "Tanba is still good, but it can be compared to Shibuyani and Sawamura......"
The lack of talent has caused a gap in strength. It's not something that can be compensated for by momentum and hard work alone.
After chatting with a few people, Koichiro Tanba won three outs.
In the second half of the first game, Qingdao High School attacked.
In the cowshed in Shizuoka.
Before the players came on the field, they were a little overwhelmed.
Shizuoka also participates in Koshien regularly, but reaching the quarterfinals is almost the best result for them. Even if they lose to Qingdao, they have nothing to regret.
But even so, they didn't want to leave any regrets in their last game.
If they are bloodbathed by Qingdao High School, they will feel a little faceless.
"Have you given up the game yet?"
Shizuoka's coach asked coldly.
Instructor!
Shizuoka's players looked at the smiling coach in surprise one by one, and they didn't expect him to have such an expression at such a critical moment.
"No~"
"Of course not."
No matter what kind of heart you have, as a national top eight, you still have arrogance.
"Then let's start by defeating this pitcher, Qingdao High School looks down on us, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you can't seize it, it's better to just abstain."
Oh oh
The cowshed at Qingdao High School.
Sawamura asked Yang Ping strangely: "Why did the other party suddenly have spirits?" ”
"There are a lot of ugly people, look at it."
Yang Ping sneered, no matter what Shizuoka planned, with such a big gap in strength, the victory or defeat had already been decided in advance.
