Chapter Seventy-Three: Shifting Gears (Three Watches)

Life's opportunities are sometimes so strange. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If Akira Shibuyani hadn't entered Seido High School, if it hadn't been for ace pitcher Koichiro Tanba who couldn't keep his form because of an accident, if he hadn......

He probably won't be able to pitch in the first grade, at least this summer. With Tanba and Sawamura here, the chance of descending to Akatsuki is really slim.

But Koichiro Tanami was injured, and Sawamura's state and physical strength were not enough to support the whole game, so his chance came.

He was the starting pitcher in the finals of the Nishitokyo tournament against Inagi Kogyo.

With good results in such a competition, the rise of Xiaogu has become unstoppable.

This is not difficult to see from the reaction of the surrounding audience, every time Gu Xiao throws a goal, the surrounding fans burst into applause, which is already like the treatment of superstar players.

suppressed Daocheng Industry in two games in a row, won five strikeouts, and lowered Gu Xiao's state to be hot.

At the same time, as the No. 1 pitcher in Kanto, Narumiya Naru was naturally not to be outdone, and also suppressed two innings without letting Seido High School score any points.

In the second half of the third game, Daocheng Industrial attacked, and the score of the two sides was still 2:0.

"Out!"

"Out!"

"Strikeout!"

In this game, Gu Xiao still forced Daocheng Industry to go up and down three times, but the hitters of Daocheng Industry did not have no countermeasures, they began to consciously hit Gu Xiao's pitches out of bounds, in order to increase the number of shots Gu Xiao's throws, and even the first two outs were won by relying on guarding. Even if Gu Xiao still behaved amazingly, he was gradually touched by the people of Daocheng Industry after all.

"How many balls has Xiaogu thrown?"

Superintendent Kataoka, who originally wanted to change to Takeshi Tsukiya in the third game, found that Akira Tsukiya was so brave, and suddenly felt a little reluctant, and wanted to decide whether to let him continue to play the fourth game according to the number of pitches.

"Fifty-eight balls."

Without waiting for Chris to do the statistics, Yang Ping blurted out.

The people in the Qingdao cowshed suddenly looked at Yang Ping in surprise, in such a tense game, how could he still have the heart to pay attention to the number of pitchers pitched?

The most important thing is that Chris proved Yang Ping's statement: "That's right, because the opponent desperately hit the pitch of Falling Valley Xiao out of bounds, and didn't want Falling Valley to easily win the strikeouts, which invisibly increased the number of Falling Valley's throws." ”

Yang Ping was expressionless, and it was his habit in his previous life to pay attention to everything around him at any time, but he originally thought that he had completely abandoned everything in his previous life, but he didn't expect that these things had been integrated into his soul, and it was not something that he could forget if he wanted to.

"Where's Cheng Gongming?"

It feels like Narumiya isn't in good shape today, and Kataoka thinks he has a lot of pitches.

Yang Ping smiled smugly: "Fifty-nine balls." ”

Cheng Gong Ming has more pitches than Gu Xiao, and Yang Ping certainly has a reason to be complacent, because more than one-fifth of these fifty-nine goals are contributed by Yang Ping himself.

Kataoka nodded: "Very good, keep it up like this." ”

In the first half of the fourth inning, Qingdao High School attacked, and the hitter took the turn of the core to play the line for the second time.

The third stick, stalwarts, Jun Izaki.

Jun Izaki was under a lot of pressure before he came on the court, and it was very important to be able to score hits and points at this time, and he was followed by Yusei and Yang Ping, as long as he was on base, the chance of Semichi scoring again was more than 80%.

In this way, Daocheng Industry was forced to a dead end in one go. With that belief, he shot the first shot.

"Ping Pong"

Although the ball path is tricky and the ball speed is indeed fast enough, it is not a ball path that cannot be hit, and the baseball is swept into the middle and outer fields with a bat.

Carl Ross arrived and took the ball.

"Out!"

The fourth baseman, the first baseman, Tetsuya Yusei.

"Good shot!"

"Out of bounds!"

"Bad ball!"

"Good shot, strikeout!"

Two consecutive strikeouts fell into Tetsuya, and the Qingdao beaters were a little dumbfounded. Kuramochi, Ryosuke Kominato, Jun Izakishiki, and Yang Ping all performed, but the formation of the main cannon got nothing, which is a bit wrong.

Yang Ping, who slowly walked into the strike zone, kept replaying the pitch that had just been made by Cheng Gong Ming in his mind, first using the speed ball as a bait, so that Yue Cheng thought that he would also use the speed ball to decide the victory, and finally used the straight ball to decide the victory. Narumiya's pitching strategy against the formation is not at all the same level as the pitching strategy against other pitching strategies.

This means that he didn't give it his all when dealing with the beaters outside of the alliance. And it was like that from the first inning, he was consciously conserving his stamina and pitch count.

Yang Ping showed a wicked smile, since he knew his opponent's intentions, how could he make Cheng Gongming satisfied.

"Ping!"

A bat swept Cheng Gongming's pitch out of bounds, and Yang Ping sank like water on top of the strike zone.

It's already the fifth ball~

Masako Harada really has a bit of a headache, Yang Ping is different from other hitters, the accuracy, strength, speed and skill of swinging the stick are perfect, once he is determined to hit all the baseballs out of bounds, it is really difficult to solve him.

Ke Chenggong's ball count is approaching seventy, and now it is just the fourth game......

Harada Masako hesitated in his heart, but his partner Narumiya Ming was different, Yang Ping was different from the other hitters of Qingdao, if it wasn't for the mentality of solving him to pitch, it might be Inagi himself who would be hurt in the end.

Don't run away, a dignified duel!

"Whoosh!"

Yang Ping's eyes lit up, this was Cheng Gong Ming's decisive ball speed ball. The path of the ball is very clear, and the position of the shot is not difficult to shoot, so in this case, I can only change the strategy and win the hit first.

"Hum~"

The bat was almost swung out by Yang Ping, but the speed ball that could have caught the rhythm did not come for a long time.

"Smack."

When Yang Ping finished swinging the bat, the baseball fell into the catcher's glove.

"Good shot, strikeout, strikeout out. Three outs, offense and defense exchange! ”

Yang Ping looked at the baseball in Masako Harada's gloves in surprise, the speed ball just now was slower than the speed ball before Cheng Gong Ming.

This is really troublesome!

Jie Cheng and Yang Ping were struck three times in a row, and the core line was three up and three down, and Qingdao's original morale was destroyed.

In the fourth game, Coach Kataoka was not willing to replace the brave Akira Shibuyani, but continued to send him on the court to pitch, of course, he also made Sawamura ready to play at any time.

The first bat, the stalwarts, Kamiya Carlros.

Carl Ross is not from here, but an international student from Africa, nicknamed the Star of Africa. Yang Ping played against him in middle school, when he was already a very good runner, striker, and tactical execution.

After entering Daocheng Industry for a year and a half, under the training of the famous superintendent Guoyou Guangzhong, he is now advancing by leaps and bounds.

The game has entered the middle stage, and even if Narumiya's strength is preserved, it is time for Inagi to fight back. In Carl Rose's own words, "We can't be chased and beaten by our first-graders all the time. ”
