Intense matches, enthusiastic fans, serious players!

In the humble baseball stadium of Akagi, a practice game is in full swing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The match will be between the newly established Akagi Junior High School baseball team and Nagano No. 3 Junior High School, which reached the round of 16 in Nagano Prefecture last fall.

In the fifth game, the score of the two sides was 5:2, and the home team was in front.

In the second half of the fifth inning, Akagi's blow, standing in the strike zone was Akagi's fifth baton - Yang Ping. The scene was two outs, there were people on first and third base, and there was a great chance to score.

Because he was afraid that the ball would be too obvious, Yang Ping deliberately hit an out-of-bound, waved it short, and was finally knocked out by strikeouts.

There was no performance in three consecutive seats, and even the audience on the sidelines had doubts about Yang Ping.

"Isn't that guy our team's player and coach? The best baseball team, at this level? ”

"Sawamura and Hanakage are much stronger than him!"

"You don't want to preserve your strength, do you?"

When this kind of voice came out of the audience, Yang Ping was stunned: You are just twelve or thirteen little children, is it really good that human nature is so dark?

Most of Akagi's friends can't get used to Yang Ping's hypocrisy: You have done everything, and you are still afraid of what others will say......

After the exchange of offense and defense, Yang Ping put on the catcher's protective gear and slowly squatted in the catcher area. Through the competition, the hard training of Akagi Middle School during this period has gradually shown its effects. Of course, there are also shortcomings, if their defense can be reliable, it is impossible for the third middle school to conquer Sawamura's quirk ball at all.

The defensive skills have been practiced almost completely, and the next step is to test the results of Sawamura's training during this time.

Knowing the characteristics of Sawamura, it is easy to divide Sawamura's ball paths into three categories. And these three types of ball can be quickly applied to actual combat.

The first to hit was the third batter of the third middle school.

First Ball: Two Stitch Straight Balls!

When Yang Pingbi drew out the code, Sawamura, who had been throwing the quirk ball in the middle, suddenly lit up his eyes. The decisive ball that I had worked hard with Yang Ping was finally going to be useful.

Raise your right foot high and stomp the pitcher's mound. The left hand swung with all his strength like a whip, and the baseball was like a white laser, shooting at Yang Ping's glove.

Having already observed the two Sawamura bats, the third middle school batter was already a little sure of dealing with Sawamura's pitch. It was this kind of clean straight ball, but it was something he had never seen before.

"Smack~"

The gloves that catch the ball make a crisp sound like never before. Yang Ping smiled slightly, this ball is so comfortable to catch! Of course, not only Yang Ping was satisfied, but the surrounding audience was also surprised.

"It's too fast!"

"Sure enough, the speed of the ball is completely different from what it was just now."

"It's 130km, right? This ball speed! ”

"I didn't expect Sawamura, who is usually very arrogant, to have this kind of strength!"

……

The coach of the No. 3 Middle School, who was standing behind Yang Ping, had completely given up hope of winning at this time. Sawamura's previous single ball path can't even be handled by the third middle school, let alone this kind of fastball that is absolutely on 130?

It's just that I didn't expect that Akagi, who has a blank performance in sports on weekdays, turned over this time! In the summer, a hurricane is sure to blow in Akagi.

The second ball, the general quirk ball!

A player who has just experienced the speed of Sawamura's straight ball will not be able to adapt to the quirky ball with a slower speed and a strange angle no matter what. The third middle school had an unsurprisingly second swing.

The third ball, a handful of grabs, quirk balls - change!

Sawamura's quirk ball is also thrown with a straight ball, but depending on the position of the baseball, there will be a slight change. And when it was replaced with a grab ball, Sawamura's quirk ball did not change the angle slightly.

The straight ball that was originally in the middle of the ball, when it was close to the pitcher's mound, suddenly sank strangely, and successfully bypassed the swing of the third middle school's three bats!

"Good shot, strikeout!"

The coach of the third middle school shouted out of the game, and he was shocked in his heart: This pitcher would still throw a slide ball with such a big angle? This is against the sky!

Straight balls, quirk balls, quirk balls change, one after another, the players of the third middle school couldn't grasp the ball at all, so that Sawamura won three consecutive games and nine strikeouts!

In the seventh game, Yang Ping decided not to retain his strength. Anyway, the No. 3 Middle School was also hit and didn't have much fighting spirit!

One out, full base!

Yang Ping came up with a beautiful home run and ended the game early!

１１：２！

Akagi almost slaughtered Nagano's top 16 No. 3 junior high school last year.

From then on, Akagi suddenly became a sweet treat. I have received more than a dozen invitations to practice competitions.

Akagi Middle School, which is in dire need of competition experience to grow, naturally does not refuse!

So before the start of the summer competition, Akagi had a happy time of three days and two days.

With the experience of the game, the players of Akagi began to grow rapidly. Their achievements are getting better and better! Thirteen practice matches, nine wins. Especially in the last five games, Akagi directly came to a five-game winning streak!

The name of the dark horse Akagi was loud before the start of the summer competition.

Finally, the fifteen practice games were over, and Yang Ping also felt that everything was ready, only Dongfeng was owed. The start of the Summer Tournament qualifiers is also getting closer.

Three days later, the summer competition officially began. Prior to this, the battle groups had also been announced.

The opponent of the first battle: Santai Middle School, a strong team that was one of the top four last year with Fudo Peak.

If they win the first match, the opponents in the second and third battles will not be afraid, and they will meet the king of Nagano in the semi-finals, Toho Gakuen!

At a glance, 20,000 words were written in Guangguozhong. Is this still possible? So speed up the progress. Don't mind, everyone!

Explain the more important things that happened during this time, so as not to be inexplicable when you talk about it later.

First, as the baseball team's reputation grew, the baseball team had its own cheerleading team in Akagi, the Akagi Support Corps. The head of the group is a delicate girl in the second grade, named Natsuha Hayata.

Second, the baseball team has also seen an increase in membership, one in the second year and two in the first year. They all have baseball experience, but because of their combination and experience, they didn't start this year. 2nd grade Inoue Yu, 1st grade Ono and Domoto.

Third, the school's investment in the baseball team has increased again, and the uniform and equipment have been bought. For some reason, the principal suddenly nervously chatted about the teenager going crazy.

Fourth, Sawamura and Yangpei have already attracted the attention of high schools in Nagano, and the coaches of Toho High School and both schools in Kanto have come to see them play and even made invitations in advance. This makes Yang Ping particularly admire, and the cultivation and investigation of Japanese high schools in this regard is really amazing. (In the original book, Nakazawa Village is not without high schools, and there are even several high schools that he is recommended for.) ）
