Chapter Seventy-Five: Chasing Points (Part 1)
"The trick was seen through. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Sugimoto Sanyuan smiled bitterly, if the score allowed, he didn't mind competing with Yang Ping at the end.
Of course, that was when the team won an absolute advantage, not now, and the situation of the team is not optimistic.
Although he was one point ahead of Qingdao, everyone knew that Qingdao's would never give up.
They will want to catch up with a point no matter what, and for Qingdao they don't even need to overtake in nine innings, as long as they catch up with the Holy Light, then Qingdao Dao's chances of winning will expand infinitely.
After all, Qingdao has many more pitchers who can play than Holy Light.
Of course, the Holy Light is not a pitcher without a substitute, but a pitcher of that level, standing on the pitcher's mound opposite the Qingdao Road, is simply sent to death.
In fact, this situation is not only the Holy Light, in the face of the top four in the country, if any pitcher is not strong enough, he will be targeted. In other words, the pitchers are not at the top level in the country, and they can't play here.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Qingdao, such as the troll big vine roll.
There are always two teams with more than one ace in the team.
So, even if the Holy Light Academy is one point ahead now. But they didn't dare to be careless at all, once they let Qingdao tie the score, the situation of the game would inevitably become more and more unfavorable to the Holy Light.
If it was at the beginning of the game, even if they fell behind, or even lost to Qingdao, it was not unacceptable for the players of the Holy Light. So at the beginning, their fighting spirit was really not very high.
After all, the opponent is not an outsider, but the king of Hagar Koshien, Seido High School.
Moreover, the Shrine Assembly is really limited in its attraction to the holy light that has been in Koshien all year round. In addition to the championship, which can bring a little honor to your high school career, it really makes no difference whether you are in the top four or the runner-up.
Of course, things are different now.
They are already one point ahead of Seido, and as long as they hold on for four more games, they can beat Seido and advance to the final.
They were still very happy to be able to win the championship of the Jingu Conference. It would be even more perfect if he could defeat King Qingdao while winning the championship.
Therefore, the momentum of the Holy Light players is completely different from the beginning of the game.
In the second half of the fifth inning, the Holy Light Academy attacked.
This time, the Holy Light players in the strike zone are obviously different from before, and they are full of energy.
"Boom!"
The huge sense of oppression as if Mars hitting the earth forced the spark that had just been ignited by the Holy Light Academy to suppress it.
The monster named Akira has awakened, and once he awakens, his ball is not something that ordinary hitters can touch.
"Good ball, good ball, good ball, strikeout!"
In addition to his ball speed, there is also a very important reason, which is his strikeouts.
Of all the known high school pitchers right now, Akira has the most strikeouts.
He even set a high school record for a strikeout.
The ball speed is 156KM, and it has two sharp change balls: fast finger fork ball and longitudinal slide ball. Even if the current Tsugu Xiao is not played, others can know what a terrifying monster this person is just by looking at the information.
Really stand on the opposite side of Akira Tsukiya and go to play. You'll realize that what you've seen isn't all there is to this monster.
His pitching is not only fast, but also has a lot of life.
"Ping!"
The batter after the strikeout was very strong, and he was stunned to touch the pitch of Xiaoya Tani. It's just that the ball is too heavy, and it's a ball he's hitting, and it's a giant truck.
The bat groaned, and the baseball didn't pop out.
At this time, Yang Ping, the catcher, shot like lightning, took the baseball into his gloves, and then touched the beater's body.
"Out!"
Two outs, no one on base.
Yang Ping's face was very cold, and now Gu Xiao was no longer the peak Gu Xiao before. But it doesn't matter, to deal with the lower line of the Holy Light, there is no need for Gu Xiao to play the peak pitch.
As long as the ball is in the good ball belt, with the power of the ball, he is enough to restrain the hitter of the Holy Light.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the current team of the Holy Light has just assembled and has not gone through the final year of training. If you really wait for next summer, there may or may not be a big explosion in the line of the Holy Light.
"Good ball, good ball, good ball, strikeout!"
The six, seven, and eight sticks of Shengguang High School were struck out by three strikeouts in a row.
Qingdao High School held this game very easily.
In the second half of the sixth inning, Qingdao High School attacked.
"Fourth stick, catcher, Yang Ping."
When he saw Yang Ping standing in the strike zone, Sugimoto Sanyuan's heart was very unwilling.
He planned so well before, just to prevent Yang Ping from having a chance to perform. I didn't expect it~
No out, no one on base, Yang Ping ranked first.
In this case, the probability of Qingdao not scoring is zero in all known matches.
In other words, as long as this is the case, Qingdao will definitely score!
Now Sugimoto has to face such a myth of near-invincibility.
Glancing at the game record.
It was now the top half of the sixth inning, and the score was 1:0.
Escort Yang Ping, this idea Sugimoto never thought of.
He had worked hard before, arranging Kurachi, Tojo, and Kominato to take turns on the base before Yang Ping. I just don't want that when Yang Ping stands in the strike zone, he will face a situation where there is no one on the base.
In this case, Yang Ping can use his speed to force points.
Even in the case of two outs, he was unwilling to escort Yang Ping when there was no one on the base.
Sugimoto is not Yang Ping after all, and the holy light is not Qingdao. Yang Ping can be unscrupulous for the sake of victory, but Sugimoto can't.
Once he obviously escorts Yang Ping, instead of tactically escorting Yang Ping, it is easy to affect the morale of the team.
Therefore, in this case, he can only face Yang Ping head-on.
In a head-to-head duel, Yang Ping can't be allowed to score.
Sugimoto Sanmoto, who has driven himself into a dead end, can only smile bitterly.
It's called a fandom.
Qingdao players, even if they can't show superhuman strength on the field. However, their fierce internal competition and rich game experience still forged the iron will of the team players.
When Yang Ping escorted the beaters, they showed cowardice and fear, and they didn't feel it. However, they prefer to believe in the pitcher's choice and be prepared to pay the price for that choice.
This is something that a team outside Qingdao can't do.
On the strike zone, the poplar plane sank like water.
Sugimoto Sanyuan is under great pressure, and Yang Ping's pressure is not small.
Sugimoto racked his brains and didn't want Yang Ping to score, and Yang Ping also racked his brains to score.
The most certain way he scored was to swing a long shot with a thunderous blow and then force a score.
But he also wanted to learn the kind of pitching of Sugimoto Sanyuan, after all, the kind of slow and leisurely, but not good play, he was not greedy for a day or two.
Being able to crack Sugimoto's pitching is very attractive to Yang Ping.
