In one place in the stands, Nishimura, the coach of the Kamidai Baseball Club, sat in the stands with great interest, watching the game that interested him the most in the regional selection match of the Summer Liga League. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sitting next to Nishimura are Yoshino, the current main player of the baseball club, and Hijikata.

After more than half a year of tempering, Yoshino and Hijikata at this time have fully grown up and become the most indispensable members of the team.

Yoshino's tenacious outfield, excellent anticipation and ability to pass and receive the ball in a variety of difficult ways make Yoshino the team's most solid barrier to the outfielders.

On the other hand, Hijikata focuses on strength, and the power of his blow can easily cause the pitcher on the mound to have a strong sense of fear even if he swings the bat.

However, there is still a long way to go for the players of the two teams on the court at the moment, after all, Yoshino is a player in the University League, and the two sides who are playing are high school players.

The difference in strength between the players and the players in this is obvious......

At this time, the match between the two teams on the court had just finished the first half of the first game.

Yoshino, who was sitting in the stands, asked his friend Hijikata with a little bad taste: "Ah Lala, I really didn't expect that this kid Kasuga-kun would have raised his strength to this extent...... Haha, the high school boys at the bottom are having a good time! I said, "Hijikata-kun, if you go up and hit it, do you have the confidence to hit Kasuga-kun's ball with a home run!?" ”

“~~~”

Hijikata was choked by his friend's words: I ...... This bastard, the pot is not mentioned, but the pot is mentioned!

So Hijikata gave Yoshino a roll of the eye and said, "It's noisy, bastard, you don't know how uncomfortable Kasuga-kun's ball is for the hitter!" You have to face more than 10 kinds of ball options at the same time in a ball count, who is so powerful that you can dare to pack a ticket and say that you can definitely beat the ball away! ”

Note that Hijikata's last sentence is about hitting the ball away, not hitting it off a home run!

This is usually not so unconfident against pitchers from other college divisions, which shows how uncomfortable it is for him to hit the ball thrown by Kasuga-chan!

"Hey~~" Hearing his friend Hijikata's complaint, Yoshino couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, the coach Nishimura on the side heard this, and interjected with some amusement: "You two, it's really enough...... Kasuga, this kid's ball, with his performance in this half game, does have the level of a first-class pitcher for high school students! His Thousand Illusion Ball Road, it can be said that if it weren't for the team center players above the county level, it would be really difficult to get any good luck in his hands! ”

"Shhh ~”

After hearing this, Yoshino and Hijikata couldn't help but be taken aback.

The two of them secretly thought in their hearts at the same time: The coach has a high evaluation of this kid Kasuga-kun! ~

"But ......"

"But!? ~" Yoshino and Hijikata looked at their coach again in shock: "But what, coach!?" ”

At this time, coach Nishimura hugged his chest and said confidently: "Although this kid of Aoba Dotai has a good set of pitching, he still can't do it if he wants to comprehensively suppress the line of our Shenda High School like this." Wait, the kids at the bottom will definitely take action in the next game! ”

Speaking of this, Nishimura's eyes lit up and he thought: Hehe~~ I don't know how you will behave in the face of a continuous short-touch hit and a long-term fight of chasing and deception!? I'm really looking forward to it......

……………………

The camera returns to the playing field.

At this time, the game came to the second half of the first game, and Aoba Dodai High School launched an attack.

The first batter, Akai, was tricked by Tanihara, the ace pitcher of the Kamidai High School, into hitting the ball with only two shots to send the ball flying to the preset point of Tanihara's possession - in front of the right field.

As a result, Akai was easily rushed up by the right fielder of the Shenda High School to pick up the ball and send it to 1st base to block his outing.

And when it was the turn of the 2-batter Kobayashi, Tanihara of the Shenda Affiliated Middle School once again relied on his precise ball control, with 4 large-scale mobilization balls, so that Kobayashi could not easily strike, so he reluctantly sent a strikeout to Tanihara.

After the captain of the third strong bat, Yasuno, changed the ball again, and pressed Anno's forward attack with two consecutive inside corner kicks, and then used two fast balls and slow balls in the upper and lower corners of the outside corner to get back two good balls and successfully chase Anno.

In the end, Tanihara was full of confidence and threw a floating decisive Carter ball in the middle of the ball, which shocked Anno who was standing in the strike zone, and directly watched the ball enter the base and sent a strikeout to the side of Shenda High School.

At this point, the first game was over, and the two sides played 0:0 and were tied.

In the interval between offense and defense, not to mention how Kasugayun on the side of Aoba Dotai coped with the next game, in the rest area of Shenda High School, the team's coach Shiraki Shuto pulled the next three players who were about to play to his side and reminded: "Itano, Sasaki, Sayama, the three of you will stand in the left strike area to fight after you go up; Itano you are the first to go up, you have to stand in front of the first continuous to chase the pitcher with a short touch, Sasaki's next task is to continue the pursuit of the offense, if there is a chance to go to base, if there is no chance, you must compress the opponent's pitching space as much as possible, and finally Sayama your task is the heaviest, as long as it is a good ball, it will give me the way to deceive the short to long play, one blow through the defense line of the Aoba Dotai, do you understand!? ”

"Hai~~"

Hearing the coach's command, the three Itano immediately stood up straight in unison and nodded in response.

Soon, the first half of the second game began, and the first hitter to play was Itano.

With a height of 170 cm and a weight of 65 kg, his figure is more slender than the other two center hitters on the team, Yoshikawa with 3 sticks and Sasaki with 5 bats, so Itano also has the agile reflexes that Yoshikawa and Sasaki do not have, and it is difficult to see strong beaters!

And the reason why coach Shiraki ordered him to use a short touch to chase the pitcher Kasuga of Aoba Dotai at the beginning of the game was because of the fact that Itano was more agile than the other two strong players.

"Yo Si! ~~Come on! ~”

On the side of Aoba Dotai High School, Anno didn't know the plans of the people from Shendai High School, so he followed the usual practice, and after observing the hitters who hit on the court, Anno gave Kasugayun the first shot to test the bad ball that was in the middle and down.

The result is unknown, and the hitter Itano directly came up with a short touch, swinging the bat forward to block the ball.

Unfortunately he failed on the first goal.

Although Anno didn't have the same changeable way as Kasuga's cloud to throw a thousand magic balls, he did his best to increase the speed of the ball.

So Kasugamo threw a 141 km/h high-speed ball with a hard throw at once.

The ultra-fast ball speed allowed Itano to miss the blow in a short-touch stance that he couldn't react to at all in 0.05 seconds.

"Good shot! ~”

Because of the action of the strike, this time the referee judged it to be a good ball.

Then, on the second ball, Itano directly set up a short-touch stance in advance, and placed the bat horizontally near the center line of the good ball and waited for the ball to come from Kasuga.

"Yaya~~ What a strong performance! ~" Yasuno squatted behind and looked at Itano and thought secretly.

In this regard, Anno glanced at the rest area before the ball, and the coach Kawano standing there immediately gave a hint sign language code: "Anno, with a low ball in the outer corner!" ”

"Hai~" Anye immediately nodded in agreement, then turned his head and put his left palm in his crotch to secretly give the ball code: Kasuga-kun, the outer corner is low, don't use a thousand illusions, try to avoid the opponent's short touch range, come on! ~

On the pitcher's mound, Kasugamo seemed to sense that something was wrong, so he tried very hard to control the speed of the ball, throwing a 135 km/h speedball with his arm hard, and hit the outside corner with a good ball that was off the corner and took that point.

Itano caught it this time, and the bat swung to the outside corner and touched the flying baseball, forming an infield rolling ball to hit the ball.

"Yo Xi, that's good!" As soon as Itano finished hitting the bat, he immediately threw away his bat and ran excitedly towards the first base pack.

At the same time, Kasugayun on the pitcher's mound also ran down quickly to help with the defense.

"Come on, Itano, you'll be fine! ~”

"Hurry, hurry, hurry......"

As soon as the Shenda High School saw that Itano had successfully attacked, everyone shouted excitedly and cheered.

And the people in the rest area of Aoba Dodai High School did not show weakness, Watanabe took the rookie students who had newly joined the baseball club in the first grade such as Tsuchihara and cheered there: "Hurry ~~ Kasuga-kun, hurry up and help defense!" ~”

"You have to defend it! ~Please, be sure to keep it! ~”

"Pedal Pedal ~~"

Running forward very quickly, Kasugamo was very nervous at this time, because he saw that the ball was touched very well by Itano of the Great Attachment of God, and it was only hit about 2 meters from the front of the base area and stopped.

The catcher Anye, who was squatting in the back, had already taken off his mask, and stepped forward to shout at Kasugayun to command: "Kasuga-kun, hurry up~~ After picking up the ball, immediately turn around and pass the ball in the direction of 7 o'clock behind you."

"Hay! Received~~"

Kasugamo heard Yasano's prompt, and he knew it in his heart.

After picking up the ball, he didn't even have time to reduce the inertia of rushing forward, so Kasugamo jumped directly on one foot and turned around towards the first base bag guarding Aihara at 7 o'clock behind him, and threw the baseball in his hand hard.

At this time, Itano had already run most of the bases, and there were only about 7 or 8 meters left from the base!

"Ahhh~~" Itano ran hard, he was very confident that he had hit himself very well with the touch just now, and if he ran with all his might, he would definitely have a chance to hit base, so after spreading his steps, he raised his speed to his maximum value.

On the other side, Kasugamo had a reminder from his partner Anno, and he was also very confident that he could defend the ball.

So the two teams at this time, at the same time, pinched a handful of sweat for their teammates.

The other end of the Shenda Attached Middle School: "Itano, please, you must go to the base!" ~”

Aoba Dodai High School here: "Baseball, you can hurry up, hurry up and fly~~~" (To be continued.) )
