Chapter 56: Amazing Growth (Part 3)
With a drop ball!
The catcher of the white dragon, as the fifth stick of the absolute main core of the white dragon, a regular guest of Koshien. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
His position in the white dragon is clear at a glance, and such a catcher is naturally not given for nothing. He had figured out Xiao Minato's habits before. Although this guy is petite, his face is also tender. But the mind is extremely extraordinary.
He had been guessing his match before.
Although the White Dragon's catcher had been aware of it for a long time, he had never taken drastic action.
He was waiting for this moment.
A top-secret weapon that only works when it matters most.
If he follows his previous habit of playing the ball, this ball will usually be accompanied by tricky balls with high inside corners. Now that he uses the same lob, he thinks that the hitter will definitely be fooled.
In the strike zone, Kominato was indeed fooled.
Here it is, the ball is the ball with a high inside corner.
This ball is extremely tricky, and it is definitely not easy for ordinary hitters to swing the bat, but this does not stump Xiaominato in the slightest.
He deliberately delayed the kick and waited for the ball to go deeper, deeper, and then he hit the ball again.
Aiming at the ball and swinging the bat, but after he swung the bat, Xiao Minato realized that he had miscalculated. Although the opponent's throw was high in the inside corner, it was not a good ball, and the ball was obviously slightly off the good ball band.
A miss is as good as a mile!
If Minato continues to play like this, then this number of outs is almost equivalent to giving it away for nothing.
At the last moment, Xiao Minato had an idea, although it was too late to raise his arm first. But he can lift his toes.
The two toes touched the ground, and Xiao Minato's height suddenly rose a piece, and the ball that was about to be played into a high-flying ball was stunned and let him hit it flat.
"Ping!"
The baseball flew to the left field, which was a bit high, but quite far away, and very promising for a long hit.
What the?
The catcher watched this scene incredulously, and it was not surprising that this ball could touch him. But it's good for him to play this kind of ball high, how can he play it so well?
After looking at Xiao Minato again, the cold sweat on the head of the white dragon's catcher came down.
This beater seems to be more difficult than he imagined.
The shot from Minato is not unclever, and if it doesn't shine on the ground, the village will be sent back to home plate smoothly, and he can get on base himself.
It's a pity that the landing point of the ball is not very good, not far from the outfielder of the white dragon. The outfielder stooped over and took the baseball in his hand.
Minato was picked up and killed.
In the cowshed of Qingdao Road.
Kuramochi and Yang Ping's eyes lit up almost at the same time, good opportunity!
The outfielder was more than fifty meters away from home plate in a straight line, and when he received the ball, his body was out of shape.
If the runner is on third base, it will not be difficult to get back to home plate.
This is a very good opportunity!
I just don't know if Sawamura has such sharp intuition and guts?
Sawamura really has it!
At the moment when the white dragon outfielder received the ball, Sawamura moved. Although his speed can't be compared with Yang Ping, he holds a position. But in fact, in Qingdao's team, Sawamura's speed is definitely not slow.
"Good!"
Kuramochi couldn't help but applaud.
The timing of Sawamura's start was too good, and it was on the line of the rush. If he was one step ahead, he might have rushed away, but the timing he chose was just right.
Yang Ping nodded.
In this year in Qingdao, Sawamura learned more than just pitching. Whether it's his understanding of baseball or his personal skills, Sawamura has grown amazingly.
For example, this stealing base, even the most demanding professional scouts can't find any fault.
There are still benefits to the giants, at least from the perspective of cultivating professional players, the players of the giants are obviously much stronger than the players of the wild road.
In Yang Ping's view, Sawamura is definitely a star player at the national level, and this is not just about his pitching. Including running bases, stealing bases, hitting and so on.
Today's Sawamura can definitely get his hands on it.
"It's really grown up!"
Yang Ping felt very magical, and he couldn't forget that when he first met Sawamura, he was stunned and invited himself to join the baseball team.
It seems like it was just yesterday. But yesterday's boy now has skills far beyond Yang Ping at that time.
With such a feeling that things are human and wrong, it is no wonder that Yang Ping has the illusion that Sawamura has suddenly grown up.
Sawamura's movements were very beautiful, but Coach Sasaki in the White Dragon Cowshed didn't look too flustered.
He knows the flaws in the outfielder's movements, but he knows the arm strength of his own outfielder.
Even if it's a little late, he believes the outfielders will get the ball back.
And he believes that as long as the outfielder can pass the ball back, the catcher will definitely kill the runner. You must know that he even killed that Yang Ping before.
Even if Yang Ping has been dealt with once before, the strategy against Yang Ping in this game is very successful. But as long as he remembered Yang Ping's previous theft, Sasaki couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Even if you are a regular visitor to Koshien, there are countless top players in the country.
But Yang Ping is like this, this is the first time he has seen it.
Strikes, base theft, speed, skill......
Yang Ping is like a textbook, showing what perfection is.
It's really a little inappropriate to use it perfectly on a player, but apart from this word, Sasaki really can't think of any more suitable words to describe Yang Ping.
With Sasaki's qualifications, I have to admit that Yang Ping is perfect, but not every player in Qingdao is Yang Ping's, not to mention that the catcher has solved Yang Ping before. Yang Ping has solved it like that, and one or two Sawamura haven't been caught yet.
Indeed, as he expected, the outfielder's arm strength was amazing. Passed the ball back at the last moment.
The ball is so fast!
At a distance of more than fifty meters, the kung fu baseball reached the catcher in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Sawamura was still a full four meters away from home plate.
"Watch me kill you!"
Make it!
The White Dragon Catcher is also experienced in a hundred battles, and he has calculated the right time, thinking that he will definitely be able to touch and kill Sawamura.
It's just that for some reason, the image of Yang Ping keeps coming to his mind.
No. Sawamura's timing was good. But whether it is speed or the skill of stealing bases, it is completely incomparable with Yang Ping.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to make Yang Ping's kind of stealing base.
With such a judgment, he strengthened his determination. There's no need to play tricks, just do it, as long as you can touch and kill Sawamura.
"Poof~"
There was another puff of smoke and dust, except for the three people present and the referee. Others simply did not see the process.
However, Sawamura's hand is now firmly pressed on the base bag.
This time, the referee was not as hesitant as before, and he was very sure of the result he saw.
"Safety!"
Sawamura helped Seido High School take a third point ahead.
Although there is credit to Kuramochi and Kominato, most of it is Sawamura's own work.
He almost single-handedly earned this point.
If he suppresses all the blows after the White Dragon. There was no doubt that Sawamura dominated the game.
