201. Ultimate Showdown III
"Everyone, the next thing to prepare to hit is the 4 batters of Sanshin High School, pitcher Toru Sanada, back No. 1!"
The sound of the radio curtain on the court resounded throughout the audience, and in an instant, the sound and momentum of everyone on the side of Aoba Dodai High School gathered all their efforts to support, and it was like a fire being extinguished by a large pool of ice water.
"Step~~Step~~"
In the steady footsteps, the owner of all this, Sanada Toru, the ace pitcher of Sanagami High School and the strongest 4 batter in the team, came out like a master of martial arts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Stepping ~~Sand~~"
As soon as Sanada came up, he immediately stood in the strike zone, and without any superfluous movement in his hands, he held the bat to the side of his body and turned sideways, staring intently at the pitcher's mound.
“~~”
There were no provocative movements or words, and there was no superfluous preparation, as if Sanada Toru didn't need to do anything to prepare for him and he could instantly adjust his best striking state.
In the eyes of Yasuno, the catcher of Aoba Dodai High School, it is just like the appearance of those masters who learn karate in his impression, without the slightest extra preparation, and he will kill as soon as he makes a move, and he is full of fear both physically and mentally!
"It's so strong~~ This kind of preparation for the strike action is completely flawless! Low outer angle, low waist rib position in the middle corner, low sharp angle in the inner corner, upper sharp angle in the outer corner...... In these places, there is no possibility of starting at all! How can this guy's stance and striking posture cover so many places, what can be done! ~”
At this moment, Anno, who had figured out what good ball-matching attack there was, couldn't help but anxiously look towards the rest area on his side, and coach Kawano looked at it: "Coach, what should I do!?" ”
It just so happened that Coach Kawano in the rest area was staring at the home plate area, and when he saw Anno asking for help, he immediately gave sign language to Anno how to do it: Anno, I have nothing to say! Go with your heart, observe attentively, and you'll find what you're looking for!
"Coach~~" I didn't expect that Coach Kawano would not give direct combat instructions, but let Anno figure it out on his own.
Are you confident that Anno will succeed, or is there really nothing you can do? ……
In any case, at this time, Anno was in a state of distress, looking at Toru Sanada who was standing in the strike zone and posing, Anno was constantly simulating the results of throwing various balls in his heart.
It's a pity, without exception, that after these balls enter the base area in Anno's opinion, the result waiting for them is to be blasted out by Sanada with all his might!
Even if Yasuno had already imagined Kasuga's ability to throw a thousand phantom balls very hard, it still didn't make Anye feel a little relieved.
For a moment, Anno was stunned.
At this moment, Kasuga, who was already ready on the pitcher's mound, shook his shoulders without a trace, and then put the five fingers of his right hand in front of him together and clenched them into a fist.
This is a pre-discussed casting code between Kasugayun and Anno!
Shaking my shoulders means letting me come, and putting my right hand in front of me with five fingers together means that I want to hit the middle of the road!
And the full meaning of Kasugayun after making these two actions in a series at this time is: Senior Anno, this time I want to be in the middle!
As soon as Anno, who was squatting behind the home plate, saw the secret signal that Kasugayun sent to him, he immediately felt bad: I bang! ~~ What kind of ball path do you choose, why do you choose the road......
Yasuno's whole person was not good, he almost went crazy and shouted at the Kasugayun of the pitcher hill, and scolded him fiercely.
But when he raised his breath and wanted to shout, Anye couldn't spit out half a word!
Because, at this moment, in his heart, suddenly came a blessing to the heart......
"No, maybe...... Maybe, it may or may not work~ Sanada of Sanada of Sanagami High School at this time has indeed completely covered almost all angles of the entire good ball belt, so no matter how tricky Kasuga-kun's first shot is, Sanada can also hit the ball, although I am not 100% sure, but at least 80% of the time it may be so!
And this, Sanada in the strike zone definitely thinks so in his heart.
But...... If we don't take the tricky ball road for the first ball at this time, we will shoot the middle and face him in a dignified manner~~ Although the point in the middle is Sanada's best strong hitting point, even if his hitting ability is strong, in this game he has not really hit a thousand fantasy balls thrown by Kasuga-kun, at most it is just destruction!
In that case, in that case...... That's all you can do!! ”
Yasuno thought about it in his heart, it seemed like it would take a long time, but in the real world, less than 10 seconds had passed!
After making a decision, Anno first nodded and agreed to Kasuga's decision to shoot the middle if he wanted the first ball, and then he squatted there and put his hand on his crotch, and used his legs as a cover to give Kasugayun on the pitcher's mound a code: Yes, Kasuga-kun, but the first ball has to be used for that, so throw it with all your might! One ball, kill him! ~~
Seeing this sign language code, it will be the turn of the Kasugayun on the pitcher's mound to be surprised: hiss~~ Are you going to use it!?
After a while, Kasugayun nodded slightly and began to prepare!
At this time, Sanada, who had been standing in the strike zone and was ready to strike, suddenly said something that made An Zhi tremble: "Are you finally going to use your secret weapon!?" Hehe...... Interesting! ~”
"~~" Anye was startled and panicked, his face that was covered under the mask was pale with fright at the moment: "You~~ How did you guess!?" ”
"Humph! ~" Sanada didn't even look back, only gave Anno two muffled laughs.
Although he didn't speak, it was not difficult to hear Sanada's understanding of Kasuga's cloud pitching ability in the laughter that had reached a very deep level, otherwise he wouldn't have said what he just said in a word.
Anno really can't stand it, and he was frightened by the surprising words of Kasuga Cloud and Sanada in a row, and he was able to say the most critical point in this shooting duel in one sentence, so it seems that someone has seen through his inner thoughts in advance, and anyone will feel bad!
Fortunately, the most important thing to lack as a catcher is a calm psychological quality, so Anno quickly regained his composure after the initial surprise.
"Now that you know, okay...... That's right, this next goal is our ultimate killer feature! Hehe...... It's strange to say, we didn't think about hiding it in this game, but I didn't expect that even in the face of your Sanshen High School, Kasuga-kun and I could hide this trick until the end of the game!
Thinking about it this way, as the strongest baseball high school in the prefecture, Sanjin High School doesn't seem to be so strong! ”
In the end, Anno couldn't help but sarcastically say that Sanada and the mountain god high school he belonged to.
“~~”
However, Sanada didn't take it over to this, and Anno, who was behind, didn't see Sanada's expression at this time, so he quickly couldn't wait for the next catch to arrive.
However, Kasuga-un, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, saw and felt it very clearly and clearly.
In an instant just now, the momentum emanating from Toru Sanada in the strike zone became even stronger!
Standing loosely, holding the stick tightly, his eyes are sharp with a strong 'murderous aura'......
In such a state, Sanada Toru gave Kasugato the feeling of being like a kendo master with a sword in hand and ready to attack, murderous and imposing.
"Whew~~" exhaled deeply, and Kasugayun adjusted his state with all his might.
At this moment, he was already sure of one thing, that is, Sanada Toru in the opposite strike zone had already shown his sword to him, and he was waiting for him to make a move.
Without thinking about it any more, Kasugayun stepped out and first put on a starting horse step posture that looked like some kind of martial arts.
Next, step on the pitcher's board with your back heel.
After a beating, the left foot was raised vigorously.
This time, Kasuga's leg was raised higher than before, and his upper body was slightly bent to the knee of his raised left leg.
Then the center of gravity leg tilted towards home plate, and the outstretched left leg kicked straight away.
"Smack!~"
Kicking on the ground very hard, a strong reaction force began to rise from the sole of Kasuga's left foot, and quickly passed to the upper body.
But at this time, Kasugayun did not immediately throw the ball into an arm-throwing motion, but instead of the previous right center of gravity foot, the left foot that stepped heavily on the ground was supported, supporting his entire body to lean forward even more.
"Huh!? ~~”
This small action was different, which made Sanada Toru in the strike zone a little puzzled for a moment, and at the same time, he was more jealous and dignified about the killer shot that was hidden together with Kasuga Cloud in his heart.
On the other side, Kasuga, who was in the middle of the pitching action, waited for the center of gravity of his entire body to fully press forward to the point where he stepped on the ground with his left foot stretched forward, and was close to the point of falling forward, Kasugayun had been placing his right arm behind his body, and then suddenly threw his arm from back to forward.
At this time, Kasuga's body had gathered a force that was stronger than any previous throw, from the initial sole of the left foot all the way through the calf knee, to the lower plate, waist, chest, and then to the right shoulder, elbow, wrist of the throwing arm, and finally the tip of the palm - the fingers.
No one can see how Kasuga's index finger and middle finger are making the final afterburner action on the baseball in their hands at such a fast movement, because the speed is too fast!
But Kasugamo himself can clearly feel that the baseball has actually begun to spin the moment before it is shot. It is rotated along the palm of your hand all the way to the middle of the index and middle fingers.
Moreover, it is well known that when the index finger and middle finger are brought together, the middle finger will be a little longer than the index finger, about 5 centimeters away.
Therefore, it is not so much that the index finger and middle finger are thrown at the same time, but rather that the index finger is used to assist the direction of the ball, and the middle finger is the main object of force to do the final acceleration for the baseball.
However, these are just the actions of ordinary pitchers when throwing speedballs, and the moment Kasugayun throws the ball at the end, he adds a little trick to the action he has mastered.
As a result, the performance of the whole ball after the ball is shot is not a straight line like an ordinary speedball!
"Whew!! ~”
"Beep Liri~~" At the same time, the side speed gun in charge of testing the ball speed in the rest area of the two teams began to reflect the value of the ball speed.
153.33 km / h!
It's already enough to compare the speed of a soul-in-the-soul ball that Sanada threw with all his strength just now!
So Sanada Toru, who was the first to feel the power of the ball in the hitting zone, instantly aroused the hairs of his whole body by this throw: "It's coming~~"
However, the excitement of this pitch has just begun!
