Chapter 72: Vertical Slide (Part 3)
These first-team substitutes at Qingdao High School are too aware of the personalities of their two pitchers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
No one can observe Akira and Sawamura as clearly as they do.
After entering the Qingdao Road, the valley has made rapid progress, but there are two weaknesses that he has never overcome. The first is his physical strength, which never seems to be enough compared to his rival Sawamura.
The other is a shaky start.
At the beginning of the game, Xiao's ball power was the strongest. Anyone who faces this kind of pitching has to be cautious. But because it's so strong, it's like an unrestrained little monster that does whatever it wants.
Even Descending Gu Xiao can't control it well.
This is also the fundamental reason why there are more bad balls at the beginning of the valley.
"Sure enough, he started weakly."
The substitutes are excitedly exchanging this information.
"Go straight, come on!"
"Defeat him in one go."
……
In the cowshed opposite, the sound of cheering was in full swing. Ochiai didn't care at all. After this period of observation, he already knows a little about these players in Qingdao. He didn't dare to say anything else, but if the substitute player from Qingdao High School could really get a hitter from Shibuyani, he would never believe it.
Although in recent times, the valley has gradually been overtaken by Sawamura. But he is not standing still, if he really wants to defeat Gu Xiao with four bad goals, I am afraid it is unrealistic.
"Concentrate on the hitters."
"Let him fight, drop the valley."
Although Kimura made a gesture of stealing the base, the fielders still did not hesitate to let Akira Shibuyani face off against the beater.
Kimura is not known for his speed, and if he does steal bases, Yukiichi will definitely let him out.
The pitcher's mound did not care about the runner, and his pitching has always been a head-to-head confrontation with the hitter.
"Boom!"
The baseball smashed like a cannonball into Miyuki's glove.
In the face of such a terrifying baseball, Guan Dao did not flinch in the slightest, and did not hesitate to swing a short bat.
"Ping!"
Deftly unloaded the ball of Akira Sakatani, and then let the baseball bounce between the pitcher and the third baseman.
Kando straight to hit a wonderful short hit.
"I'll go~"
Even Yang Ping, who has always been calm, couldn't help but stand up, and Gu Xiao's Hao speedball was the most difficult to play short. Baseball bounces high easily and bounces quickly. Comparatively speaking, the garrison pressure is much less.
Seki can keep the ball delicately between pitchers and third basemen, and there is no doubt that he is also a super master of short play.
"Good job, but this way, like this, like this, the ball will be ...... like this"
Qingdao's first master of short fighting, not stingy with his experience.
It's just that his teaching method, if he can understand it, he will also become a non-human.
Regardless, this brilliant hit not only sent Kijima to second base, but Seki Michi himself also went to first base.
No one is out, there are people on first and second base.
A team of substitutes is the first to get a good chance to score.
"Third stick, Catcher, Hiroshi Ono."
"The opportunity for meritorious service is coming, Ono must seize it."
"Whatever is fine, let's behave."
The morale of the substitute team is high.
In the cowshed of the Zhengxuan team, Yang Ping glanced at the valley worriedly.
Hiroshi Ono is the first substitute for Kazuya Miyuki, and his overall strength is absolutely outstanding. In the case of someone on first and second base, facing the core line of the substitute players, even if it is a valley, it is very bad.
You have to keep it up!
This is also clear to Yukiichi as a partner.
Now the situation is unfavorable, and we must find a way to recover it. The next batter is Ono, who is characterized by encountering a good ball and never letting it go.
To deal with such a hitter, it is better to have a pitcher like Sawamura. Fight it out with a good ball. But Akira is not Sawamura, and it may take some effort to deal with Ono.
I had an idea in my heart, but Yu Yuichi still glanced at Yang Ping.
Now that Akira has begun to contact the new change ball, although the problems of ball control and physical strength have not been completely solved, they have also improved greatly, and the rest cannot be solved overnight.
Shigu is in a hurry to grow, so during this time, Coach Ochiai also taught him a new change of ball.
Longitudinal slide!
There are several variations that are very suitable for the pitcher of the big speedball, such as the quick finger cross ball and the longitudinal slide ball.
These two balls are intertwined with straight balls, and the hitter simply doesn't know what to aim for.
The significance of this game is that in addition to appeasing the substitutes, there is also an important purpose to hone the selection.
There's really no better place for pitchers to practice.
Go ahead and take out the opponent with your slider.
"Boom!"
Xiao's pitching is like a high-speed train, which makes people feel at a loss.
It's good ball!
Ono's eyes became determined, and as a catcher, his strength was also good. There is no way for others to use their power to hit Gu Xiao's pitch. He's different, he's got enough power.
"Buzz!"
Hit it out!
Swing the stick firmly, and the heart is also firm. But Ono didn't hit the ball, and the baseball slid to one side as it approached him.
"Knock~"
The baseball landed in Yukichiya's open glove.
Miyuki Kataoka behind him smiled at the same time, this ball is really good.
Of course, as the person who taught the valley change ball, Ochiai was even more proud.
Angle, power, speed, as the first actual combat use of the ball road, the pitch of Akira Shibuyani is flawless.
If it is suppressed like this, the final victory must belong to the right election.
In fact, he is more concerned about how to attack Sawamura Eijun than the pitching of Akira Tsukiya and the defense of the main selection.
I have to say that the current Sawamura has become a big problem.
"Whew~"
Ono's face in the strike zone was extremely ugly, and he was a little too underestimating Akira Tani.
"Steady!"
At this time, Kataoka, who was the referee and also served as a substitute coach, gave instructions.
Now that there are people on first and second base, it's hard to say whether we can have such a good opportunity in the future. You have to take that opportunity and get a point.
Ono was stunned.
At this time, the most important thing is to continue the attack.
"Ping!"
Facing the pitch of Akira Tsukiya again, he did not hesitate to use a short shot.
His short hits are nowhere near as good as Sawamura and Nao Sekimichi, but they're not bad. Because he was caught off guard, the main election just pinned himself down, and Kijima and Seki Daozhi each advanced a base.
One out, there are people on second and third base.
"Fourth baseman, first baseman, Yamaguchi."
Although the process was a bit thrilling and he almost got a double kill, it was undoubtedly the easiest opportunity for the substitute to score.
They have to be dealt with here.
Cast with the determination of a strikeout.
First Ball: Quick Finger Fork Ball!
Why was Xiao Shibuyani able to suppress Sawamura at the beginning and become an ace. It's because he can strike out his opponent at a critical moment.
His quick finger ball and his newfound longitudinal slide are just as powerful.
