73. The Law of Restraint
With the encouragement of his teammates, Hayakawa went on the field with a bat full of energy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But although with everyone's cheering and encouragement, his momentum has risen to the next level, but Hayakawa, who came to the strike zone and began to prepare for the strike, knew very well that it was almost impossible for him to successfully hit the ball and form a base in this game.
As a pitcher, Hayakawa knew better than the rest of his teammates that he wanted to take advantage of an unfamiliar pitcher's three throws and hit them with one hit......
It's hard for even a professional footballer to do it!
So this time, Hayakawa's goal is not to swing the bat, but to hit the pitch of Tsurumi High School relay pitcher Takei, but to find out his throwing style and habits as quickly as possible, so that before the game enters the final game, the players on his team's playing line can have enough information about the opponent's pitcher, and strive to make all the hitters more confident to play.
So as soon as Hayakawa, who had this idea, came to the strike zone, he immediately stood in the innermost position to prepare for the strike.
Soon, Takei began to throw the first ball at Hayakawa.
It was a speedball with a speed of 138 km/h, and due to the peculiarity of Takei's throwing action, Hayakawa couldn't see his right hand holding the baseball behind him before the ball, and what kind of fingering he was doing when grasping the ball, so even if Hayakawa could immediately determine that it was a speedball after the ball, he was still half a beat slower when he wanted to swing the bat.
But these are not the concerns of Hayakawa in the strike zone at this time, he is watching the direction of the incoming ball intently and secretly adjusting the method of attacking: pay attention to the path of the incoming ball, the upper body can not move, only twist the waist and use the strength of the waist to decide the victory, and then ......
But when the baseball flew into the base, Hayakawa didn't think so: No! ~~ In this way, the swing stick cannot be swung naturally, and it will still be an empty blow! …… Damn it~~
Thinking of this, Hayakawa stretched his crossed legs into a larger stride, in order to swing the bat more steadily.
"Whew~~~"
The second goal followed.
Hayakawa was prepared this time, and he began to try another method of blowing.
I saw the way of the ball, and I hit it with the strength of my waist only! ……
"Great! ~”
"Throw-in! ~”
The baseball was knocked to the back by Hayakawa's bat, and it hit the high iron fence behind the base.
And the second ball, Hayakawa hit the ball, and the effect of such a blow really scared many people at Tsurumi High School: "Huh~~ It's so dangerous, the ball almost flew out just now!" ”
But even so, the coach of Tsurumi High School still stood calmly in the rest area to watch the game: such a blow was too early! ~Takei's pitch is the ace seed pitcher reserved in my baseball club this year, and his ball is not so easy to hit!
Then, in the third ball, Hayakawa didn't know what kind of ball-matching ball the shooting at Tsurumi High School was, so he still used the same kind of horse step to pierce deeper, depress the center of gravity, and then use the power of the waist twist to drive the upper body to strike.
"Whew~~"
The ball is coming, and Hayakawa is ready.
And this time, Takei of Tsurumi High School unexpectedly threw the ball to the low position, Hayakawa didn't expect it to be a low bad ball this time, and continued the excitement of the blow just now without hesitation: Bang~~ Broken, such a ball!
As soon as the head of Tsurumi High School saw Hayakawa come out, many people immediately shouted: "Yo Sai~~ I was deceived!" Takei is throwing well, this ball! ”
Even their coach nodded in praise of Takei's deceptive shot: Good shot!
However, as an ace pitcher at Aoba Dodai High School, Hayakawa has a higher insight into the changes in pitchers' path after they are released, compared to baseball players who are born to play the ball.
So even after the baton Hayakawa saw the change in the way of the ball, the temporary line change hit still made him stubbornly pick up the incoming ball and fly out: "Don't underestimate me, I'm am, Aoba Dotai High School, ace pitcher, Hayakawa Chong!" ”
"Awesome~~"
"Ah~~ Dangerous! ~”
"I'll come~~"
As soon as Tsurumi High School saw the baseball being played, it immediately caused a wave of nervousness among the nine players on the field.
In the end, the baseball flew out of the right boundary and landed in the audience, and finally replaced the ball with a good number of shots, but no one in Tsurumi High School dared to underestimate Hayakawa's striking ability.
The players from Tsurumi High School were taken aback after the ball: "It's amazing...... Just by relying on the number of shots, can you judge Takei's ball path and hit his pitch!? ”
And their coach secretly praised Hayakawa's: "It's really worthy of being a trump card, and his eyesight is good enough!" ”
At this time, the two of them secretly discussed the code exchange before the next ball was pitched, and Hatta, the catcher of Tsurumi, said in sign language: Takei, the other party's eyesight is very powerful, and the next ball is thrown to the outer corner, come on!
Takei nodded and agreed: Okay!
At this time, Hayakawa loosened and grasped the bat in his hand with both hands, and then held the bat to the very end.
This is a grip to prepare for a long fight, and Hatta, the catcher of Tsurumi High School, also sensitively caught Hayakawa's adjustment, but it was too late for him to make any adjustments, and Takei had already begun to pitch.
Hatta could only be anxious in his heart: Damn, this guy really has a lot of ways to strike!
"Whew~"
"High ball in the outside corner!?" Hayakawa swung his bat and hit the ball to the top of the canopy in the rest area of Tsurumi High School.
"Throw-in!"
Another throw-in was hit, and Takei from Tsurumi High School couldn't help but be chased and a little panicked at this time: "This guy~~"
"Hey~~" Hayakawa stared at Takei with a very excited eye: "Come on, rookie!" ~~ Just throw the ball over and I'll hit as many as I come! ”
"Squeak~" Hatta, the catcher of Tsurumi High School, also showed a sense of jealousy towards Hayakawa of Aoba Michidai: Takeda, the next ball continued to suppress him with a low position in the outside corner......
At this time, Hayakawa suddenly came up with such a sentence: "Bang~~ It seems that holding the bat is really the right feeling!" ~“
Hayakawa's words immediately attracted the attention of Tsurumi High School and others, and the guards on their field couldn't help but think: It's going to be bad, this guy is starting to get used to Takei's ball path, and the next ball may fly out.
So the three people who were guarding the field of Tsurumi High School unconsciously retreated some positions to prevent Hayakawa from hitting the far guard.
In this regard, the coach of Tsurumi High School and the catcher Hatta on the field did not say too much interference, and it was much better for them to be hit by Aoba Dodai High School than to take the risk of changing the situation of the battle.
So Takei didn't hesitate to continue to shoot this low ball from the outside corner with the main purpose of suppressing the blow.
And when the ball was just thrown, Hayakawa finally couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth happily: "Hey~~ Fooled!" “
He didn't stretch out to increase the force, he directly turned his waist with the center of gravity of his feet and brought up his upper body to rotate and swing, using a posture similar to the bottom-fishing style of playing Gohl's father's ball, and he hit the low ball in the outer corner and flew it up.
"Great! ~“
"Ha~~" As soon as Hayakawa hit the ball, he immediately released the bat in his hand that had not yet finished swinging to the left, and his people began to rush out in the opposite direction towards the first base.
"What!?"
"Ahhhh ~“
"The guerrilla must catch wow~"
However, although the right fielder of Tsurumi High School stepped forward to fill in immediately after the ball was hit, he was still nearly 5 meters away from where the baseball landed, and he could only watch the baseball roll out of the guerrilla zone and go to the outfield.
So the people from Tsurumi High School immediately shouted at the outfield: "Outfield, hurry back!" ~“
At this time, Kawano, the coach of Aoba Dodai High School, spit out on the sidelines with a slight smile: "It's useless!" “
Sure enough, this short midfield hit that crossed the guerrilla zone allowed Hayakawa to run up to 1st base and get a safe base.
"Success! ~“
Seeing this, Kawano, the coach of Aoba Dodai High School, immediately waved his hand and said to Hoshino, the 7-batter who was about to play: "Hoshino, go up and only use the deception to play a short shot, resolutely destroy the opponent's first two pitches, and give Hayakawa a chance to steal the base, go ahead!" “
"Oh! ~"Hoshino took the order and left.
Subsequently, Hoshino lived up to expectations, and the first two balls were mainly destructive, and Takei's pitch was touched out of the boundary with short hits.
When Takei threw the third ball, he had just stepped on his leg and Hayakawa on the first base pack immediately received a hint from his teammates in the guidance area next to him, and immediately let go of the first base and went to the second base quickly.
"Beware of boots! ~“
The Tsurumi High School guard immediately discovered the enemy situation and shouted loudly at his teammates on the field.
This also caused the pitcher Takei to be affected by the shouting in an instant, and finally revealed some flaws so that Hoshino, the hitter on the strike zone, saw Takei's right hand that was about to throw the ball, and grasped the fingering of the baseball: "Haha~~ Is it still a speedball!?" Looking for a !! ~“
"Bump~"
Turning the long play into a short play, Hoshino was prepared to block the ball with a bat as soon as it entered the base area, and then quickly spread his pace to the first base.
"Hit and run, success! ~“
"Run, Hoshino, Hayakawa~~"
"No problem, no problem! ~“
"Oh~~"
After a round of offensive and defensive battles, Aoba Dodai High School successfully sent both beaters to the base bag due to more appropriate tactics.
At this time, in the 7th game, the situation of the offensive half of the Aoba Dotai began to improve, and after the 2 outs, the quasi-scoring situation of 2 people on the base was ushered in.
Tsurumi High School coach was silent: careless, I didn't expect Aoba Dodai to use their 6th pitcher Hayakawa as a pioneer to open the way, and after playing a long throw-in with a tricky play, he hit the base with a short hit to change the situation! …… Aoba Dodai High School, you guys can do it! ~
In the rest area of Aoba Dodai High School, coach Kawano finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, thinking: Pitchers or pitchers know each other best, although you relay to replace pitchers is a kind of protection for the trump card, and it is also a wise way to stabilize the situation. Unfortunately, Hayakawa, our ace of Aoba Dodai, is not only excellent in his pitching ability, but also in his striking skills and eyesight.
If there was no pitcher of his rank to play against him, it would be impossible to easily knock him out of the tournament!
Tsurumi High School, I'll see how you defend the situation in front of you this time......
Thinking of this, coach Kawano once again pulled Sato, who was about to play, to the side of the 8th batter, and whispered, "You will ...... when you will play."
