263. A good blow doesn't need much, one blow is enough
In a live broadcast room at Koshien Stadium, two on-site commentators from the Asahi Shimbun newspaper are working on the live commentary with great interest at the moment: "Ah~~ See, as soon as this game of Aoba Dodai High School comes up, I am ready to use a chasing adventure style to play in order to break through!" Murakami-kun, what do you think!? ”
Another commentator named Murakami immediately took over and said, "Hai, you can see the first hitter in the 10th round of Aoba Dodai High School, that is, their 1st batter, and Akai, who is on guard, has taken a chasing and forcing strike posture as soon as he comes up. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info here it is not difficult to imagine that Aoba Dodai High School is thinking of taking a step ahead of the opponent Kagoshima Minoru Gakuin, and in the first half of the 10th round, it is determined to win or lose here! ”
"Yes, that's true, because of the rules of the game, after the 10th game, both sides entered the extra game schedule of instant scoring to win, whether it is Aoba Dodai High School or Kagoshima Shigakuin, whoever can score a step faster can win the game first, and thus advance to the next round of the game; Conversely, the losing side means that this summer will be over for them, which is not good news! ”
"That's right, so let's wait and see how Aoba Dotai High School performs in the first half of this extra game! ~”
At the same time, in the rest area of Kagoshima Minoru Gakuin on the court, when their coach Fujita saw Akai, the first baseman of Aoba Dodai High School, come up and put on a posture of chasing and striking, Fujita immediately exclaimed, "Is it a complete chasing and striking tactic?" Kawano-kun, it looks like you're going to be desperate! ~”
Fujita secretly calculated in his heart, he wanted to take the lead in coming up with a way to stop the attack of Aoba Dodai High School before things developed to the worst.
Fujita secretly thought: completely chase and strike tactics! It is a continuous strike tactic that is often used in a draw, where the attacker takes a risky all-out attack.
The tactical characteristics are that the attacker attacks in the strike zone by holding a short stick or directly by hitting it, and will take the initiative to strike or destroy every ball of the pitcher, giving strong pressure on the pitcher of the defending side, and finally leading the pitcher of the defending side to take the initiative to make mistakes, and the attacker wins the game after throwing the wrong ball.
The advantage is that the more times a hitter hits the ball, the more pressure is put on the pitcher and the chance of mistakes increases!
The disadvantage is that if the pitcher's strength is higher than that of the batter, using the offensive batter's blind batting swing with the corresponding difficult tricky ball path, the hitter will be hit by his own rash batting and his own bad hitting will be blocked.
It's a double-edged sword......
Thinking of this, Fujita immediately made a decision in his heart.
I saw that he was in the rest area to his team members on the field one after another to give tactical instructions, arranging their respective defensive positions to make corresponding adjustments.
In the guerrilla area, in addition to the distance between the outfield and the outer field to press forward, the outfield defenders on the left and right sides are looking closer to the sideline, the purpose is to prevent the opponent from deliberately hitting the edge of the sideline, making it difficult for both sides to defend.
After the arrangement was completed, Fujita Fangcai, the coach of Kagoshima Minoru Academy, smiled confidently and watched the ball with his hands on his chest: Hela, the big array has been placed, and it depends on how you break the game, Kawano-kun!
Soon, Kawamori, the pitcher on the Kagoshima Minoru Gakuin side, began to throw the first ball.
"Whew! ~”
With the sound of the baseball speeding through the air, Akai in the strike zone immediately reacted that the ball should be a fastball ball to the outside corner.
The ball was ridiculously fast, not like a high school student was capable of throwing, and it was extremely fast and struck high into the outside corner of the base.
Seeing that the ball was too fast, Akai didn't have time to think about it and immediately swung the bat out in his hand, and at the same time stretched out his left foot in front of him and slightly twisted his waist behind him, so that the blow of the bat was facing the direction outside his left boundary.
"Ping! ~”
"Out of bounds! ~”
"I'm so dangerous~~ that I almost missed! ~But the short stick swing is really useful, although the shock force after hitting the ball is ridiculously strong~~ But that's enough! ”
Akai shook his right hand and slowed down before secretly exclaiming in pain and thinking.
The next 2nd ball, Akai came to play with a chasing style again, but unfortunately the 2nd ball missed the ball, because the 2nd ball was completely thrown by Kagoshima Minoru Gakuin's Kawamori out of the good ball belt, and Akai held a short stick to strike, so the range missed the ball.
2 good shots.
On the third throw of the victory, Kawamori of Kagoshima Minoru Gakuin suddenly threw the ball into the inside corner and pressed it.
Fortunately, Akai reacted quickly and changed the short touch hit to a short swing to destroy the ground, and used the bat to block the flying baseball outside the sideline of his right foot, thus saving himself from the danger of being out.
You know, in a baseball game, when the hitter is facing the pitcher's pitching attack, the first two shots are not a matter of no matter what the effect of the blow is, but when the third ball is scored, when the hitter is chased with 2 good balls, he can't use short touch to destroy the ball out of bounds on the third ball, in exchange for continuing to entangle the pitcher.
It's an interesting tilt protection for the defending pitcher in baseball.
After all, the short-touch blow can be said to be negligible in terms of the hitter's hitting ability, anyone can easily use it well, and the timely hitting ability is poor like a guy like Kasuga who has just learned to play baseball, he can easily resist Hayakawa's ball speed of more than 140 in his usual training, and no matter what kind of tricky ball path is said!
Therefore, if such a strike can be used infinitely on the pitcher, it will be a very fatal and unfair thing for the pitcher on the defending side.
Because of this, there is a clear provision in the baseball rules that after 2 good balls, the hitter shall not break the ball out of bounds by touching, otherwise it will be shown as a strikeout.
Of course, if you hit the ball into the effective area of the court with a touch to form an infield hit, that's a different story.
"Bastard~~ It's not wonderful! ~”
After the third goal was over, Akai immediately noticed that Kagoshima Minoru Gakuin's pitcher Kawamori would not be merciful to his subordinates and use the outside corner to attack, but instead used the inside corner to suppress the ball to deal with him.
However, although he knew that he had guessed the opponent's plan, Akai still hit a failed blow in the fourth goal and was knocked out with a strikeout.
Akai, who was very unwilling, left his unhappy face to all the people in Kagoshima Minoru Academy on the field to see, but after returning to the rest area after returning to the rest area, Akai had a relaxed evil smile on his face: "Okay, my mission has been completed, and it's up to you to look at Yasano-kun and Kobayashi-kun!" ~”
Anno, who was a 3-stick player, smiled slightly and remained silent, while Kobayashi, a 2-stick batter who had already played, continued to play exactly the same number of strikes as Akai after he came on the court.
Under the complete chase and hitting tactics, Kobayashi didn't care whether he hit the flying baseball accurately, and like Akai, the first two goals were when he chased Kawamori to hit two throw-ins, but on the third kick was suppressed by Kawamori with an inside corner kick to solve his attack.
At this point, the number of two outs was formed, and when it was the turn of the 3-batter Anno to play, many players on the Kagoshima Minoru Gakuin side were so excited that they didn't want to.
"Yo Sa, two outs, one more number of outs, it's our turn to wield!"
"Come on, come on, Kawamori-kun! ~”
"Come on~~ One more !! ~”
And on the side of Aoba Dodai High School, before Anno came on the field, coach Kawano told Anno: "Anno, hold steady, you can do it!" ”
"Hay! ~~" Anno looked at the Kagoshima Minoru Academy players on the opposite field and said the second half of what he wanted to say in his heart: Hehe...... It doesn't take much to hit it, one shot is enough, look at it, Kagoshima Minoru Gakuin! This game is definitely the winner of our Aoba Dodai High School!
So how exactly did Anno help the team win the game with a single blow!?
Let's see the next breakdown!
