Chapter 46: Yang Ping vs. Hongo Masamune (3rd Update)
"Kiyodo High School's third baseman, Jun Izashaki, hit a beautiful second home run. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The situation is greatly favorable to Qingdao High School, and there are people on second and third base as soon as they are out, and Qingdao High School has ushered in a great opportunity to score.
And the beater also has the turn of four sticks, Tetsuya Yuuki.
"Bad ball!"
"Bad Ball~"
"Escort to base."
Kawada made four bad shots against the formation, and the trolls opted to take a full base defense.
One out, full bases. The hitter had the turn of the fifth batter, Yang Ping.
"Bang out, home run~"
"Defeat the trolls with your bat."
Full base, the hitter's turn is Yang Ping, this situation has occurred, and the consequences are tragic for the opponents of Qingdao High School.
This time is the same, the audience is full of expectations for Yang Ping.
"Troll Otomaki High School changed pitchers, Kawada-san went down, pitcher Hongo-san played."
The man who is destined to lead the storm has appeared.
At this moment, the audience was excited.
The duel between the ace pitcher and the ace player in the new era, how can this bloody scene not be exciting.
"It's unfair."
Fujio, a reporter from the baseball kingdom, looked at Masamune Hongo, who was pitching on the court, and said with regret.
Akita looked at his senior, his face full of puzzlement: "What's unfair?" ā
"This showdown."
With two outs at the bottom and full bases, Yang Ping can actually take a lot of means. Even if he plays the outfield and flies high, he can't be counted as losing. Once a hit, or even a long hit, it can even turn the tide of the game with a single bat.
On the other hand, Hongo Masamune, unless he strikes out Yang Ping, he can't win this duel.
The situation is very unfavorable, but Hongo Masamune has no cowardice. Although judging from the situation, it is not surprising that the troll collapsed here, but from another point of view, if he can suppress the beaters of Qingdao High School here, then the situation will inevitably turn to the troll Da Fujimaki.
Yang Ping looked at the high-spirited Hongo Masamune, and had to sigh, what a look!
Exactly the same balls, and momentum. Akatsuki Shibuyani, Masamune Hongo, these two pitchers who were also born in Hokkaido, have the potential and strength that shocked Koshien and all the viewers who followed the game across the country.
Straight ball, finger fork ball, slippery ball.
This is the type of ball that Hongo Masamune throws on the data, rich variety balls, accurate ball control, and a ball speed of 150 kilometers, Hongo Masamune has a strength on paper that surpasses Narumiya Narumiya, the No. 1 pitcher in the Kanto region.
Of course, this does not mean that Masamune Hongo is better than Narumi Narumiya, because the pitcher has to consider other factors besides his strength on paper.
For example, mentality, talent......
Against such a pitcher, even Yang Ping had to admit that he was really excited.
Naru Narumiya, Ryusuke Watanabe, Yuhiko Hashimoto......
There is also Hongo Masamune, Koshien is really a magical place, and strong enemies that make people feel excited, one after another.
Defeat them and rise to the top.
It doesn't get much more exciting than that.
Yang Ping looked at Hongo Masamune on the pitcher's hill and thought silently in his heart.
Come on, let me see the full version of the 150KM ball speed, and what it can do.
"Boom!"
Yang Ping was excited, and so was Hongo Masamune. Yang Ping is a well-known superstar in the same class, and among the top ten star players, he is now the best.
Masamune Hongo is also one of the top 10 stars and is looking forward to challenging the best hitter in his class.
So don't hesitate when pitching.
The baseball shot like a laser into the catcher's glove.
"Knock~"
The sound of a baseball entering a glove is crisp and loud.
"Good shot!"
Yang Ping took a deep breath and was secretly shocked in his heart: the ball path did not rise at all, and in this case, it was impossible to tell whether Hongo Masamune threw a straight ball or a finger fork ball. If you can't judge the way of the ball, it will be difficult to hit this kind of ball as a home run. Even if you choose the wrong ball, you risk getting a strikeout.
It's really not easy to deal with.
Even if he had expected it in his heart, but when he really saw Hongo's authentic pitching, Yang Ping still felt that it was very tricky.
Another point is that in the face of a 150-kilometer straight ball, Yang Ping can't wait for the ball to reach his hand before swinging the bat, so he must change the habit of swinging the stick he has just developed and predict the timing and rhythm of the stick in advance.
It's already a good shot, and now Yang Ping still has two chances.
"Boom!"
The baseball flew straight over, Yang Ping's eyes flashed with a demonic light, and the bat in his hand whistled out.
"Buzz!"
It was 0.1 second earlier than the usual timing of the bat, and the timing of the pitch hit Hongo, which was just right. It's just that when the bat was about to touch the baseball, the baseball suddenly fell, and Yang Ping's bat brushed the top of the baseball and swung it over.
"Boom!"
The falling baseball, smashed into the catcher's glove, and the sound was very loud.
"Good shot!"
Both shots in a row were in the good zone, and Hongo's pitch did not flinch at all.
The troll's shooting partner knows very well that using bad balls to interfere with Yang Ping is nothing more than a waste of balls, and it is better to directly decide the winner head-on.
"Yang Ping actually swung his stick and missed!"
In the cowshed of Qingdao High School, Sawamura's eyes were so big that he looked like he was about to stare out. It is not uncommon for Yang Ping to swing the baton to fail, but after entering high school as the fifth baton of Qingdao, there are really not many such opportunities.
Hongo Masamune, who is this guy sacred?
There are many people who are shocked by Hongo like Sawamura.
The person Yang Ping's feelings are different, he doesn't think that there is anything incredible about this ball that he can't hit, the ball that falls rapidly for 150 kilometers, not to mention him, even if he finds a lot of high school students across the country, there are few people who can hit it. Not to mention, he was aiming for a straight ball just now, and suddenly encountered a quick finger cross, which of course was difficult to deal with.
The question is the next ball, what kind of ball will Hongo throw?
Still throw a fork, a straight ball, or a slide!
Faced with a 150-kilometer pitch, Yang Ping couldn't swing the baseball at hand, and he could only guess the way of the ball.
Choose one of three!
If Yang Ping really understands the knowledge of the catcher, the chance of guessing at this time is not small. But he used to be a pitcher, all based on Sawamura's own quirk ball characteristics and some cleverness, and never thought of actually being a coach on the court.
Ball combinations or something, he really doesn't know how to do it at all.
"Boom!"
Yang Ping didn't want to think about it, and the baseball flew over.
Now you can only continue to bet on straight balls, and in the case of choosing one of the three, it is always right to choose the one you are most familiar with.
"Ping!"
The bat smashed into the baseball, and the baseball let out a terrible howl and flew into the sky.
At this moment, all the spectators and players in the audience focused on the baseball that flew out, and Ryosuke Kominato, Jun Isashiki, and Tetsuya Yuuki were also ready to rush the baseball.
Once the baseball hits the ground, the whole court will inevitably act instantly.
