Sure enough, in the first half of the second inning, as soon as the Aoba Dodai High School side came on the court to play, the pitcher Hayakawa was strongly blocked by Ito Nabi, the strongest hitter and ace pitcher from the West Tokyo FC International Academy Center. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because they are both pitchers, and Hayakawa and Ito's pitching styles and specialties are mainly based on changing the ball, Ito unceremoniously destroyed the first three balls carefully arranged by Hayakawa and Anno as soon as he came up.
On the fourth pitch, Hayakawa was preparing for his next pitch when he noticed that Ito, who was standing in the strike zone, was also making adjustments at the same time.
I saw Ito standing at the front of the strike zone, with the bat clenched in his hand, his center of gravity on the right, and his left foot poking lightly on the ground.
This is a chasing stance that covers a wide range of blows!
Hayakawa didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly communicated with Anno in sign language: Anno, the opponent is very proficient in changing the ball, it seems that we can only use a fast ball with a slow ball as a lore shot!
Anno nodded in agreement with Hayakawa's opinion, because the previous 3 consecutive balls changed the way of the ball, the opponent Ito Jun was very eye-catching to see the ball's strike, which also made Anno very jealous of this: Well, then throw an inside corner speed ball with all your might, suppress it, and then change the slow ball path in the lower corner of the outside corner to divide the victory or defeat, come on!
As soon as the communication was completed, Hayakawa immediately stepped on the pitcher's board, stretched his hands to the sides of his body in a vibrating arm style, and threw the baseball in his hand with all his strength in an instantaneous rebound like a bow bent bow.
"Whew! ~”
As soon as the ball was shot, it accelerated to an astonishing 143.33 km/h in a few meters.
And the ball is thrown to the inside corner to chase the body, which also makes Ito, as a hitter, seem to lack a way to face Hayakawa's all-out throw.
Although he knew that this was a throw that Hayakawa used to suppress himself, Ito also looked at the direction in which the ball was coming, which was the way to pass the edge of the good ball.
Hayakawa controlled the ball very well, and when he came over, the speed was too fast, so there was very little time left for Ito to judge whether the ball could not be hit.
If you hit the bat, you may not be able to hit this chase ball well, so that the infield's left-sided rolling ball will be easily intercepted by the shortstop and form a block.
If you don't hit the base, I'm afraid that when the ball finally goes to base, it will be a good ball with the edge line to enter the base, forming a duel and a strike strikeout.
You must know that you didn't take the opportunity in the first 3 shots and only destroyed the ball, so the number of balls at the moment is 2 good balls and no bad balls.
Ito has to make a move!
"Don't underestimate people, bastard! ~”
I saw Ito roar, quickly stretched his left foot behind him and took half a step, and then his hands twisted sharply with his waist, and he swung the bat in his hand out.
"Great! ~”
The baseball was knocked out in response.
On the side of Aoba Dodai High School, Hayakawa immediately shouted in the direction of the left field behind him, "Kudo, please!" ”
And although Kudo, the left fielder of Aoba Dodai High School, had been prepared for a long time, but after the baseball flew out, he still underestimated the power of Ito of Nishitokyo FC International Academy.
Kudo was in the middle of the left field, but Ito's ball hit a little in front of the home run wall before it landed.
So this also caused Kudo to try hard to retreat, running over to catch it, but unfortunately in the end he still couldn't follow it before the ball hit the ground, so that the opponent Ito ran to the second base without any pressure.
"Damn, it was a mistake! ~" Hayakawa saw this result and immediately complained about himself in a bad mood.
Anno, as one of the tactical planners, also has to pay a certain amount of responsibility, but this is not the time to be held responsible, so he quickly stood up and waved his hand to comfort Hayakawa: "It's okay, it's okay, Hayakawa, let's focus on dealing with the next beater!" ~”
At the same time, everyone on the side of Aoba Dodai High School also came out to support Hayakawa and said, "It's okay, concentrate, Hayakawa!" ”
"It's just ~~ show them the real ability to see, what if there is a hitter on base, and before he gets to the position where he can score on 3rd base, we still have a chance to pull it back! Come on! ”
"Come on, Hayakawa, it's up to you!"
"Kill the next hitter, get the first out, you can do it!"
The cheers and encouragement from his teammates played a role, allowing Hayakawa to quickly calm down and focus on the next fighter's showdown.
It's easy to say, but trying to get an out on the next batter isn't something that can be done with just words.
In particular, the 5 batters of the opposing Nishitokyo FC International Academy are also the famous strong batters in their team, and the known black Hercules Terry. Anderson.
This is a 180-year-tall and 85-kilogram muscular man with a sense of strength and tendon flesh that makes people feel powerful when they look at it.
When the two sides are ready, the showdown officially begins.
But at this moment, Kawano, the coach of Aoba Dodai High School on the sidelines, suddenly played a sign language code to Yasuno and Hayakawa on the court: Anno, Hayakawa, let go of this hitter, let him go to base, and then concentrate on solving the behind.
"Huh!? ~”
As soon as Yasuno and Hayakawa saw the instructions issued by coach Kawano, they were immediately puzzled: Escort to base!? Coach this is ......
After the two thought about it for a while, Hayakawa felt that it was very reasonable for coach Kawano to give such an instruction to himself at this time.
As far as he knew, this American exchange student named Terry himself was a sports student, and he had a record of hitting 3 home runs in a game in the previous district tournament, and even hit the scorewall directly to the horror level.
And it is said that in addition to Terry's strength, his ability to judge the timing of the game is also the best in the team, and if he wants to rely on tactical pitching to solve the opponent, it is estimated that even if Hayakawa can win in the end, it will take a lot of effort, which is undoubtedly not good for the rest of the game.
So thinking of this, Hayakawa understood the intention of coach Kawano.
He nodded at Anno, who stood up and stood up in the outer corner.
Anno's move immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
"Look, what is this going on here at Aoba Dodai High School!?"
"Oh, this is the rhythm of four bad balls!"
"Shh~~~ The aces are scared, haha~~ Aoba Daotai High School is so strong! It's still strong at Nishitokyo FC International Academy! ~”
"It is worthy of being the representative team decided in the hot region, and the strength of some three-legged cat teams is different, support your Nishitokyo FC International Academy, you will win this game!"
"Come on, Nishitokyo FC International Academy! ~”
"Come on, come on~~"
On the other side, in the rest area of Nishitokyo FC International Academy, the team's think tank Honda saw clearly what the idea of Aoba Dodai High School was playing, and he sneered: "Hmph! …… Coach, Aoba Dodai High School is about playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses! ”
Coach Mihara sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and also sneered and said: "Then they have to have a long way to go, let it go, let it go, let Terry go over, we will have 2 people on the base, and then Akasaka, you will use your striking strength to teach Aoba Daotai High School a good lesson!" ”
Matsuto Akasaka, the 6 batter of Nishitokyo FC International Academy, squatted in the waiting circle and responded coldly to coach Mihara: "Roger!" ~”
There is no absolute guarantee of patting his chest, but Akasaka's reply made everyone in the rest area of Nishitokyo FC International Academy full of confidence after listening to it.
Because he is Akasaka, a cold-faced killer on the court hidden in the shadows of the team and not known to outsiders!
