"Coach, is it really good to let Kasuga-kun play so soon!?" Hayakawa, the ace pitcher of the Aoba Dotai in the rest area, asked the coach with some concern. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing Hayakawa's question, the rest of the people in the rest area also turned their heads to look at coach Kawano, hoping that he would give everyone confidence that Kasuga Cloud was about to play as a pitcher.

Even Watanabe, who often trains in the cowshed with Kasuga-yun on weekdays, couldn't help but be a little worried at this time, and he also asked the coach: "Kasuga-kun hasn't done a good job of controlling the ball at the moment, so it's okay to play the game!?" ”

"Yes~" The other people in the rest area will also have some apprehension about the upcoming appearance of Spring Cloud.

And coach Kawano said at this time: "Hayakawa, you also go into the cowshed and help him!" ”

As soon as Hayakawa heard the coach say this, he immediately understood the coach's intentions, and without saying a word, he got up with his gloves and went to the cowshed.

On the other side, in the warm-up area of the cowshed, the spring clouds are still confused!

I'm going to be a relay, I'm going to be a relay! ――At this time, Kasugamo was completely frightened by the coach's words just now.

However, Kasugamo was stunned for a long time before he was immediately woken up by a glove from the arrester Maki: "Hela, Bage (stupid), why are you still stunned, hurry up and prepare to throw the ball and open your arms, Bage Yaluo (you stupid)!" ”

"Ah~oh! System... I know! Kasugamo was woken up by a glove from Maki, and hurriedly walked to the side of the cowshed and stood there and kicked the sand twice.

This is a habit of pitchers to adjust the ground to their most comfortable form, and when they start to pitch, their feet can be better stretched and forced.

Especially in official games, when the pitcher first goes up to the pitcher's mound, the finishing of the ground is the first priority!

Soon, Kasuga-yun was ready on the side of the cowshed, and Maki instructed Kasuga at this time: "Hela, Kasuga-kun, I know that your current ball control is not good, so when you get on the court, just try to throw the ball hard in the middle, come, throw one!" ”

"Oh! ~" Kasugayun nodded vigorously at the other end of the cowshed, and began to throw it out with a raised arm......

………………

Back on the court, the bottom half of the 7th inning was still over.

Since Kobayashi, the third hitter in the Aoba Dotai just now, successfully hit a first base hit with a 1-point point, there will be two runners on the first base and second base on the field, Kobayashi and Akai, respectively.

Although it is already a two-out situation at this time, the next hitters who will take the turn to play are the three strong hitters in the center of the team, so everyone on the side of Aoba Dotai High School is still very confident that they can continue the attack.

However, when everyone on the side of Aoba Dodai High School was ambitious to fight for more points, Shirasugi High School also made a tactical change at the same time;

Their pitcher, the canine, finally used his long-hidden killer weapon - the speed ball.

After opening the way with 3 speedballs as high as 143, forming a number of bad and two good balls, and then with a very inconsistent speedball in one fell swoop, they settled the victory or defeat of the game, and finally used a high-pitched speedball to hang the third batter on the side of Aoba Dodai High School, and Endo could only hit a high flying ball and was caught out, leaving two remnants on 1st and 2nd base to end the game.

As the two sides prepared for the eighth game, the coaches of both sides were in the rest area to make pre-battle arrangements for the final battle in front of their players.

At Aoba Dodai High School, coach Kawano looked at the three people who had just come out of the cowshed warm-up field and asked, "How!?" “

Catcher Maki and the team's ace pitcher Hayakawa looked at each other, and Yuki replied, "It's okay, it's in good shape...... But Coach, it seems too risky for us to make Kasuga Kimijo so fast! “

"Yes, Coach, why don't you let me play in the relay!" Hayakawa also interjected at this time, and a proposal arrived.

But coach Kawano didn't answer them, saying, "No! ~ You don't have to play this game, the outcome of the game is whether we can score more points on our playing line and strive to pull away, rather than blindly guarding! So Hayakawa, you better save your energy and play well in the next game! “

”~~“

Hearing this, Hayakawa and Maki knew that the coach had made a decision, so they agreed without saying anything: "Department, coach, we know!" “

"Well~"

At this time, coach Kawano turned his head to look at Kasuga, and said to him with a serious look on his face that had not changed for thousands of years: "The pitcher is the most important player in baseball, and it belongs to the core of the court like the No. 23 player in basketball and the No. 10 player in football!" I let you play today is not to recognize your ability, to be honest, your ability is far from enough in my opinion, so if you can't play your strength on the field, then you can retire! “

"Nani!? ~~“

The alternate catcher Tsuchihara Xiong was too confused: "Lead, lead, retreat!! ~“

The pitcher who was about to be replaced, Kasuga's friend Watanabe was also stunned by the coach's words: "Teach, coach ~~"

Everyone in the rest area was frightened by Coach Kawano's words and stood up one by one: If you don't perform well, you will retire...... Is the coach going to catch the spring sunrise baseball club!? Still is~~

And when Kasugamo just heard the words of coach Kawano, his eyes suddenly widened with fright, and he looked at coach Kawano, and the eyes of the two collided in the air.

Looking at the sharp gaze of coach Kawano hidden under the sunglasses, Kasugamo suddenly had a sense of frustration that had been seen through and his confidence had been pierced. At this time, coach Kawano's eyes looked at him and he wanted to look at a person he despised and underestimated, so disdainful, so condescending......

This made Chun Riyun feel very uncomfortable, he had never received this kind of gaze, so for a while, Chun Riyun's heart was like being pierced by a thorn, painful and uncomfortable......

He looked at coach Kawano's gaze at this time, and his eyes were also sluggish and scattered at this time, and the mood that was originally a little nervous and excited was all shattered by the coach's retreat at this moment!

For a while, no one in the rest area said anything, and the whole rest area was quiet.

"Do you understand!?" However, at this time, coach Kawano seemed to stimulate Kasuga, and asked him again in a heavy tone.

"~~" Kasugayun looked at the team coach Kawano in front of him, and looked at his expressionless resolute and serious face and was silent.

At this time, anyone can see that Kasugamo is making a difficult choice in his heart, so everyone is waiting for his final answer.

After a long while, Kasugayun finally changed his dazed and decadent feelings in silence, looked at the coach with a solemn and serious face and replied: "Department!" ~Coach, I see! “

"Whew~~"

All the students in the rest area felt a sense of relief after listening to Kasuga's answer, after all, they have been together for 2 months, for these students who like to play baseball very much, the classmates who can happily play baseball together are their most indispensable good friends, good confidants, and brothers in school life!

So generally speaking, unless it is to the point where it is irreparable, no one wants people in the baseball club to quit easily.

At this time, one of his friends, Tsuchihara Station, came forward and patted Kasuga's shoulder and said, "Haha~~ There is you, boy!" “

Hayakawa, the ace pitcher of the team, also sent a blessing at this time: "Shoot well, kill them!" “

And Watanabe, another friend of Hasuga, directly handed a baseball into his hand and said, "Come on, let's see the results of your training in the past two months!" “

Well, looking at the teammates around him who seemed to have been stimulated by something, Kasuga Yun's heart was a little funny and angry: I said, I just understand! Why are you so excited......

In fact, Kasugamo didn't think much about it just now, he was just surprised by the persecution of coach Kawano!

For having to quit the baseball club if he doesn't play well, Kasugamo really doesn't want such a thing to happen, but there are not too many reasons for the second illness, just one that he doesn't want his sister Mei's wish to be disappointed!

Well, in addition to the above, there are also some meanings that he is not willing to admit defeat!

What kind of bad performance makes me quit the baseball club, the coach clearly looks down on me, thinking that I joined the baseball club so hard to train and play!? ――Kasuga, who has a feeling that the coach disdains and looks down on him, says in his heart that it is impossible not to rebel.

So, with a feeling of being angered by coach Kawano, and the blessings of a group of teammates who began to commit secondary two diseases and were stimulated, he walked on the field!

……

Soon, the game was restarted.

But at this time, the radio on the court suddenly sounded, which caught the beaters who were about to hit the field a little unprepared. Just listen to the radio broadcast: "Aoba Dodai High School player replaced, No. 28 third baseman Kasuga Yun replaced No. 22 pitcher Hisachi Watanabe as a relay pitcher, No. 22 pitcher Hisachi Watanabe replaced as third baseman and ninth baseman!" ”

"Nani!?"

"Replacing the pitcher at this time!? …… Coach, this ~~"

Hearing the announcement of the announcement, many people in the rest area of Shirasugi High School did not expect that at this time, Aoba Dodai High School actually made a move to replace the pitcher, which made the strike tactics against Watanabe, the pitcher of Aoba Dodai, and Hayakawa, who was likely to play, completely lose their room to play.

Takahashi, the coach of Shirasugi High School, frowned, and for a while he couldn't figure out the intentions of Kawano, the coach of Aoba Dodai: "Shouldn't you send an ace off the field at this time!?" How did you put this one-year rookie on the pitcher mound!? “

Because the logistics intelligence collection students of both sides did a lot of intelligence collection before the game about each other's players who may play today, so Takahashi, the coach of Shirasugi High School, also knew something about Kasuga Cloud, who was ready to be a pitcher when he was on the court.

But it is precisely because of the understanding of Kasuga's information that Takahashi is even more puzzled why Aoba Dotai sent Kasuga-kumo, a rookie pitcher who has only played for two months, to play at this time.

But no matter what, the game is about to start, so Takahashi calmly said to his batters: "It's okay, the other party is a rookie pitcher who has only played for 2 months, there is nothing to be afraid of, just relax and play, go ahead!" “

"Yes! ~Coach~"

Soon, the first batter of Shirasugi High School came on the field, he was the fifth batter of Shirasugi High School, and I'm Aiga, who is known as a long-range battery, a macho man with a very strong body.

As soon as he hit the strike zone, he raised his stick and pointed it at the Kasuga cloud on the pitcher's mound, staring sharply at it for a long time before he began to slowly stand ready to strike.

"It's time to start, can he do it!?"

"Hiss~~ As soon as you get on the field, you have to face the opponent's strong beating, can Kasuga-kun withstand it!?"

"No problem, he~~~"

The rest area of Aoba Dodai High School was full of concern and worry about Kasuga, and they were nervously pinching the corner of their jackets and looking at Kasuga.

On the pitcher's mound, Kasugayun at this time was just like warming up in the cowshed just now, lowering his head and using his feet to sort out the dirt near the pitcher's board. Although he lowered his head, the constant noise from the audience on the stadium was very clear to the ears of Kasuga.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~Bang~~"

"Horn ~ Horn Horn Horn ......"

"Come on! ~”

"Come on, Aoba Dodai! ~”

“~~~”

There were also many voices that could not tell what they were also in the ears of Kasuga-un, and then he looked up and suddenly had the feeling that he was standing on a high mountain and looking down: this is ......
