Chapter 53: Worse Worse (Part 1)
After Sawamura Eijun came on the court, the ball was shot very smoothly, and it took almost no effort to solve the three trolls. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the beater returned to the cowshed, Coach Nitta naturally asked what was going on.
"It's weird, the ball is a lot faster than I thought. Even though the ball speed shown on the monitor is less than 135, when you look at it from the strike zone, it feels at least 14 or more. ”
"I can't see the point of the ball clearly, his arm is very soft, when he throws the ball, it is like a stretched whip, if he doesn't pull it, he can't see the point of release at all, and he can't judge the way of the ball from the swing of his arm, no matter what the ball is, his arm swing is exactly the same."
"It's a quirk ball, and the magnitude of the change is not small, and the deviation value is very high. Even if you can barely hit the ball, it's hard to get the ball right. ”
Coach Nitta crossed his arms and summarized the opinions of his three disciples, combined with the information collected before, and quickly made a judgment on Sawamura Eijun's ball path.
The core of the ball is still a weird quirk ball, and on top of this, there is a strange pitching posture that can't see the release point. (I feel that the ball is fast, mainly because I can't see the release point, and of course because Sawamura's pitching slows down very little, which is not obvious now, and it will be more prominent in the future.) )
Coach Nitta looked at Akira Tsukitani, who could no longer see anyone in the cowshed of Qingdao High School, and secretly envied in his heart: There are pitchers of this level in the team, no wonder Coach Kataoka dares to boldly replace Akira Tsukitani.
Troll Otomaki is likely to have only this one-point advantage in scoring in this game, and Hongo Masamune must hold on no matter what.
In this situation, Coach Nitta believes in his disciples very much. He firmly believes that Hongo Masamune will inevitably hold on, and he will inevitably be able to suppress the line of Seido High School. (In fact, he can only believe that Seido High School has a pitcher who can replace Akira Shoya, and there is no one who can replace Masamune Hongo.) )
After the exchange of offense and defense, Masamune Hongo played.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
"Strikeout!"
"Out!"
"Good shot, strikeout!"
When the eighth stick Yukiichi also went up, the momentum was like a rainbow, as if he would not give up if he didn't take the safety swear. As a result, in the face of Hongo's Masamune pitching, the genius was also helpless, and he didn't hit three goals in a row.
"That's amazing!"
Yu Yuichi couldn't help but sigh, no wonder he could shake Yang Ping's little monster three times, Hongo's authentic strength is really extraordinary.
Not to mention Ichiro Sakai, the ninth baseman, who looked very nervous in the face of Hongo's pitch, couldn't help but swing his bat at the bad ball, and as a result, he hit home plate and flew high, and was caught by the catcher of the troll Ofuenmaki.
Then the mat turn returned to the upper position to play the line, and Yoichi Kuramochi came on the field to strike.
Kuramochi is now in Qingdao High School, and his striking strength is a little better than Sawamura and Ichiro Sakai, if it weren't for the amazing base, coupled with the almost flawless infield guarding, the first batter of Qingdao High School would not have been his turn at all.
Such a beater, in the face of Hongo Masamune, who exerted 12% of his strength, was struck by three strikes.
In this way, in the seventh game, Hongo Masamune easily won three outs.
In the second half of the seventh inning, the troll Otoenmaki attacked.
After solving two beaters in a row, it was Hongo's turn to strike again.
No one expected that at this time, Qingdao High School ushered in another heavy blow.
"Ping!"
There were no problems with Kazuya Miyuki's balls, and there were no problems with Sawamura's pitching.
The problem is with Masamune Hongo, his body is too tired, and his swing is a little unstable, but this instability has helped him.
"Whoosh!"
The baseball was played crookedly, and everyone thought that the ball would not fly far, and Ichiro Sakai waited early for the ball to land, waiting to be killed.
But the ball didn't stop, and it flew out of the stadium in a leisurely manner.
"Home run! A super home run from Hongo Masamune! ”
The aggregate score is 3:1!
In the second half of the game, it was not Seido High School who scored the score first, but the leading troll Otomaki.
This made Qingdao High School lose another layer on the way forward.
"Pause!"
In the audience, there were amazements one after another, and Yu Yuichi had no time to take care of it. The most important thing for him now is to stabilize Sawamura, who was hit by a home run.
"The ball just now, he swung his bat and drooped unconsciously!"
Miyuki's meaning is obvious, which is to tell Sawamura that there is nothing wrong with his pitching.
The third-grade seniors didn't say a word one by one, but they were not depressed, and the fighting spirit in their eyes was not extinguished at all.
Yang Ping thought about it and patted Sawamura on the shoulder.
Sawamura turned his head to look at Yang Ping, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"The ball is not powerful enough, otherwise even if it is hit, it is impossible to hit a home run at once."
As soon as Yang Ping spoke, he saw that everyone's eyes were on him. The coach did not replace Sawamura at this time, and obviously still wanted Sawamura to continue to shoot. Yang Ping pointed out the problem of Sawamura so bluntly, will it?
"I know!"
Because of his own lack of strength, the team suffered such a crisis. Sawamura felt more guilty than annoyed, and after listening to Yang Ping's words, he also realized that his mentality was wrong. The most important thing now is to fully show your strength and suppress the next hitters.
"There are two more games left in the game, and we will turn the score around."
Said categorically.
Sawamura nodded, he trusted his senior. He believes that the seniors will not stop there.
After being blasted out of a home run, Sawamura very calmly suppressed the hitter after the troll and won the game.
In the first half of the eighth inning, Qingdao High School attacked.
The starter was second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato.
Xiao Minato didn't say anything to Sawamura just now, he felt very bad, and Seido High School probably couldn't get over this hurdle.
Shaking his head and throwing all his thoughts out of his mind, Minato's gaze was firm again.
Thinking about all his efforts in the past three years at Qingdao High School, he will definitely not stop there.
"Ping!"
Ryosuke Kominato, with his perfect striking skills, managed to hit Masamune Hongo's straight ball.
The baseball flew far past second base.
"There's a chance, rush!"
In the audience, there were cheers and cheers from the cowshed of Qingdao High School.
But the ball didn't fly far, and was caught and killed by the backbone of the troll Otomaki.
"Out!"
Ryo Kominato was a little dazed when he came down, his hands kept shaking, he really didn't expect that Hongo's Masamune pitch would be so heavy.
The weight was almost beyond his limit.
"One out!"
Hoarse cheers rang out from the cowshed of the troll Otomaki High School.
Now they are five outs away from Koshien's final.
Will win, the people of the troll Otoenmaki have this confidence.
They're going to win!
