"Whew~~"

On the pitcher's mound, Watanabe received the coded signal for the tiebreaker from his catcher partner Anno, and immediately threw a slow-curling ball that he had been waiting for for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was the exact opposite of the previous pavement ball that had been used for multiple quick shots, and it made sense that Watanabe chose a slow ball as the decisive goal after a series of quick ball attacks.

I saw that the 3 batters of Shirasugi High School who were standing in the strike area at this time were obviously lured by Watanabe's slow curve ball and couldn't help but play first.

"Squeak~~"

Inuya raised his eyebrows, feeling like he was dissatisfied with being deceived so easily.

However, the bat in his hand has already been swung out of the brakes, but such a premature bat will not be difficult for a good hitter to play, at most he can't destroy the ball solidly!

In the process of swinging the bat, he chose to use his left hand to relax most of the grip and only play the role of fixing the direction, while the right hand swung the stick with all his strength to pull the ball in the opposite direction to the right stand.

"Great! ~”

"Throw-in! ~”

"Ah~~"

"Ahh ~”

Many players in the rest area at the end of Shirasugi High School were frightened by Watanabe's wonderful shot on the field and the equally wonderful blow of his teammate Inuya.

And in the rest area of Aoba Dodai High School, Tsuchihara, Maki and others, who did not play, complained regretfully: "Damn, can you save such a ball!?" ”

"No way, the beater is very strong! ~”

Tsuchihara said with a heavy face at this time: "No, it should be said that Shirasugi's 3 bats know Watanabe-kun's pitching style too well!" ”

"Yes, that's right! ~" Kasuga Cloud responded.

On the court, the duel between Watanabe and Inuya continues.

At this time, Watanabe had already used 10 balls against the dogs, which is already considered a lot of balls for a single hitter under normal circumstances.

Coach Kawano gave Watanabe a reminder in sign language on the sidelines: "Watanabe, you have too many balls, don't use the strategy of forcing him down, and strive to kill him with more shots!" ”

Watanabe nodded lightly to Kawano, the coach who was standing in the rest area watching the game, and then when he turned his head to look at Anno, he found that Anno's next matching ball code had also changed, completely omitting the ball path for foreshadowing and changing it to a slider attacking the inside corner.

Watanabe nodded in agreement and saw that Anno had placed the gloves in a position that was obviously high within the range of the canine tooth.

Since it is an inside corner, if you swing the bat according to the position of the dog tooth at this time, the ball will definitely only be stopped by the middle of the bat by the handshake.

In this way, even if the ball is hit, it can only be a limp infield rolling ball or a flat flying ball.

The idea was very good, but when it came to implementation, Watanabe's ball was not perfectly controlled, and it was a little too high to get out of the good ball belt, and Inuya saw that the ball was selected and missed it, and Watanabe's last bad ball was used.

At this time, the situation on the court was the first half of the first game, and after Shirasugi High School 2 was out, Watanabe had a full ball situation of 2 good and 3 bad against Inuya.

It only takes one more good ball to end this half-game, but with such a number of goals, Inuya entangled Watanabe on the court for another 5 goals, and still couldn't let him hate being struck out.

"Whew~"

In the strike zone, Dogtooth exhaled lightly to ease the tension of this round of duel, and tried to relax himself to the nerves of his whole body.

He looked at Watanabe, who was also consumed by this round of matchups, on the pitcher's mound, and thought to himself: Come on, Watanabe, no matter what ball you throw, I'll shoot it out! Let's look at it......

On the other hand, because he was dragged into entanglement mode, Watanabe didn't dare to use this tactic of forcing out the ball count and physical strength to deal with the dogtooth, so at this time he had enough time to discuss the matching code for each ball with his catcher partner Anno.

On the 13th goal, Anno chose to continue to attack the inside corner, which was also the top corner of the good ball belt above the inside corner, but this time he used the ball path of a slow curve, and the slanted curve tricked the hitter into choosing to leak and be struck out.

However, the opponent was not fooled, although he did not grasp the best time to strike, but the ball was successfully destroyed by the dogtooth and hit the left boundary.

Another throw-in!

"Humph! ~" Inuya stood on the strike zone and said to Yasuno, the catcher of Aoba Dodai High School, "It's useless, don't think that this little trick can fool me!" Although I didn't play against Watanabe when he was in junior high school, his style of play is still the same as when he was in elementary school, and I can't let go of the opportunity just by choosing! ”

"This bastard! ~" Anno scolded in a low voice.

14 balls, Watanabe shot a sliding ball in the middle according to Anno's match, and was beaten into a high flying bounds by Inuya.

At 15 balls, Watanabe attacked the outside corner with a fastball, and the dogtooth knocked out a long hit out of bounds, and only a meter away from the effective strike zone flew over the home wall to form a home run.

16 balls, Watanabe fastball attack inside corner ribs, dogtooth small turn swing to destroy the ball again.

The same goes for 17, 18, 19 balls!

By the 20th goal, Watanabe's physical strength had been consumed by more than half, and his ball speed had dropped significantly by 3 kilometers.

This is a bad sign, Kawano, the coach of Aoba Dodai High School, quickly shouted to stop, called a student from the logistics team to his side, and asked him to come on the court to pass the word to all the players on the field on his behalf.

On the pitcher hill, all the Aoba Dodai High School players on the field gathered at this time, and Ozaki, a student of the logistics team who came to the court to talk to coach Kawano, said to Watanabe: "Watanabe-kun, the coach said that if you are entangled like this, you will not be able to do it, and you have to quickly find a way to solve the opponent's 3 bats!" ”

Anno said something for Watanabe at this time: "If it was so easy to solve, I would have been out of the game just now!" That guy is obviously very familiar with Watanabe's pitching style, and can predict in advance what the ball will be for our next ball, and then catch the ball to hit the bat, I think it will be difficult to break through the opponent's frontal blow until Watanabe has a sharper decisive ball! ”

"Ahla~~" Ozaki of the logistics team became embarrassed after listening to Yasano's words.

At this time, Watanabe, who was silently thinking about things, said, "Everyone, I have an idea......

"Huh!? ~" Everyone wondered.

“~~~”

After a while, Ozaki, a student of the logistics team who came on the field to pass the word, walked back to the rest area, and he said to the coach according to Watanabe's thoughts: "Coach, Watanabe-kun said that he wants to fight his opponent in a dignified manner!" So I would like to ask for your approval to let him not send the four bad balls to the white cedar 3 sticks, so ...... Coach, you see~~"

“~~~”

Coach Kawano was silent after hearing this.

At this time, Kasuga, who was Watanabe's friend, bowed to the coach very boldly and said, "Coach, you just promise him!" ”

Hayakawa and Maki and several others standing next to him were shocked by Kasuga's words, and Hayakawa's face immediately changed greatly: "Kasuga-kun, what are you messing around, how can you get the coach to agree to Watanabe's request!" ”

Maki also disagreed and said: "That's it, as long as you let go of these 3 strong bats, the next 4 batters will definitely have a chance to get an outgame to solve this half-game defense with Watanabe's forcing tactics." So Kasuga-kun, you're not right! ”

Tsuchihara and Akai and the others also disagreed with Kasuga's proposal, but they didn't say anything, just looking at the coach.

After thinking about it for a while, coach Kawano suddenly smiled at Kasuga Cloud and asked, "What do you kid think!" ~”

Looking at the look on the face of coach Kawano, Kasugamo immediately vaguely guessed that the coach had seen through his expected guess about Watanabe's thoughts, so he said: "Hai!~~ Drag the 3 sticks of Shirasugi High School into the infinite grappling, and strive to consume a lot of the physical strength of this strong fighter in this half game, so that he can't pose a threat to our defense in the later games, I guess Watanabe-kun thinks so!" ”

"Wow, it's just a mess! ~ Who would die with the opponent as soon as they came up, then there is this way of playing! After hearing Kasuga's words, Tsuchihara and Akai were immediately startled.

At this time, Hayakawa saw another meaning in what Kasugamo said, and he looked at Kasugamo unexpectedly: "Huh...... Is this what you came up with!? Kasuga-kun~"

"Hai~~" Kasugayun nodded and responded: "After listening to what Ozaki-kun conveyed to the coach just now, I thought about it in my heart and felt that Watanabe-kun might have said his words with this idea!" … Everyone knows that the third batter of Shirasugi High School once had an old friendship with Watanabe-kun, and they are relatively familiar with each other's playing styles, so the duel between the two will appear as soon as they are on the court today!

That's why Watanabe-kun came up with such a way to deal with the current situation! First, he can duel with his old friend in a dignified manner; Second, it can also solve the most important core of the opponent's line and defense for the team, why not, right!? Everyone~"

“~~~”

As soon as Kasuga-yun finished speaking, everyone was collectively silent: Yes, what Kasuga-kun said is reasonable...... But~~

At this time, coach Kawano thought about it very decisively and immediately made tactical adjustments.

He first turned around and gave tactical sign language instructions to Anno and Watanabe on the court, and then turned to Kasuga and said, "There is your kid...... Go ahead and prepare! ~”

"Huh!?" Kasugayun couldn't react for a while, and was stunned.

But Maki, who was very attentive to the coach's movements, understood the coach's intentions, and saw him quickly turn around and pick up his catcher armor and Kasuga's pitcher hood, and said to Kasugaun: "Ah, what a ghost, hurry up and warm me up in the cowshed, stupid!" ~”

On the other side, Watanabe and Anno on the court both laughed after receiving instructions from coach Kawano!

Watanabe glanced at Anno: Senior Anno, please!

Anno gave him a look back: Leave it to me, pay attention next, throw it to him, but don't throw too easy to play! You'll be able to hit the big move!

After Watanabe nodded in agreement, he began to follow the match code given by Anno's change of ball tactics again, and began to consciously drag the duel with Inuya into an infinite grappling.

"Whew! ~”

"Great! ~~”

"Throw-in! ~”

"Whew! ~”

"Great! ~~”

"Throw-in! ~”

"Whew! ~”

"Great! ~~”

"Throw-in! ~”

In the stands, watching the two of them go back and forth, many fans couldn't help but say in surprise: "Damn, these two people are sparking today!" ~”

"That's it...... It's already the first few balls! ~”

"I don't know, no less than 20 memorizations! ~”

"20 ......"

"High energy ahead...... Run away! ~”

On the court, as the number of balls increased, Watanabe and Inuya were angry.

At this time, the two of them were completely right, except for the victory or defeat between the two, everything else was automatically ignored......

Come on, kind of hit me with this ball! ~~

Come on, I'll try it if there's a strikeout! ~~

"Whew~~"

"Awesome~~"

"Throw-in~~"

The two of them in the fight didn't notice it at all, they all set two conference history records together today!

The record for the most pitchers pitched against a batter in a single round and the record for the most hits made by a batter against a pitcher in a single round! (To be continued.) )
