On the 6th day of the campside training, Aoba Dodai High School invited a local high school baseball team to play a friendly practice match. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as the game started, in the first half of the first game, in the first half of the first game, although the top three hitters faced the slow ball with an average ball speed of only about 130 kilometers by the opponent's pitcher Tachikura, Akai, Kobayashi and Anno were knocked out by Takura.

When Watanabe stood on the pitcher's hill as the starting pitcher in the second half of the Aoba Dodai High School garrison, he was a little nervous and kept holding the powder bag and delayed his throwing.

Damn, you can only use speedballs and slideballs for matching, what a deal! -- Watanabe nervously remembered in his heart that just before the start of the game, coach Kawano gave him the task of the game.

Playing with only two limited ball paths, the speedball and the slideball, is a change pitcher with a variety of ball variations, which is simply allowing him to hit the opponent's strengths with his own shortcomings!

But the task is the task, if the coach can't do the things he explains, then he won't want to compete with Kasugamo and Hayakawa for the position of starting pitcher in the team in the future.

"Yo Sai~~" After Watanabe made up his mind, he threw the powder bag in his hand behind him, and then raised his hand close to his mouth and blew on it to try to relax himself.

Yasano, who was crouching down at the back of the home plate area to catch the ball, gave Watanabe a look of peace of mind and motioned for him to start practicing throwing.

"Whew!! ~~”

"Pong! ~”

"Huh!?" As soon as he received the ball, Anno felt the power coming from the glove be different than usual.

"This guy is still a little nervous~~"

Then Anno motioned Watanabe to practice throwing a few more shots, and used up all the time to practice throwing before officially starting the game at the referee's signal.

At this time, in the rest area at the end of Kamakura Toyo High School, coach Hinata Aki was reminding the three players who were going to play in the first game to wait for what they were going to pay attention to.

"Watanabe, the opponent's starting pitcher, is the same type of changing pitcher as Likura, and the ball speed is not fast, so don't rush to swing the baton after you get on the court, and observe the opponent's ball path to catch the fighter first, understand!?" Coach Hinata commanded.

"Hai~~"

Soon, Toyo High School's No. 1 batter, Murata, came on the field and was ready to strike.

I saw that he was very excited as soon as he came up, and he caught Watanabe's first kick and hit the ball in the inside corner and knocked it out.

"Whoop! ~”

The first ball he threw was knocked away, which made Watanabe's tension on the pitcher's mound suddenly soar: "Mid, 2nd base shortstop pay attention wow~"

Fortunately, Akai, who was close to the second base, reacted very quickly, and when the ball flew out, he began to move and intercepted the ball on the way to fly out in advance, and passed to the first base to successfully block the attack of Murata the first hitter of Toyo High School.

But even so, Watanabe on the pitcher's mound was taken aback, and secretly relieved and muttered, "It's good, it's good~~"

When Toyo High School's No. 2 hitter, Rakutani, came on the field to attack, Rakutani chose to attack from the left.

In addition, Luogu's grip is a little shorter, which is obviously the rhythm of the short fight.

Watanabe saw this and threw his second shot of the match with some nervousness.

"Whew! ~”

"Damn, it's high again! ~”

"Great! ~”

Sure enough, Watanabe's second shot was hit by the opponent and sent out.

But this time, Watanabe was not as lucky as the first goal just now, and he was able to be effectively intercepted by his teammates who were prepared in advance;

The baseball eventually landed in the open field on the left sidefield, and although the batter was short, his strong upper body strength allowed him to hit the long-range first base.

"Damn, I'm still nervous! ~"Watanabe doesn't need to be reminded by others, and he knows what his current state is like, so he works hard to adjust.

In the rest area, coach Kawano was watching Watanabe's performance.

As a friend, Kasugayun didn't care about waiting for the relay to come on at this time, and asked Hayakawa, who was sitting next to him, who was worried about his friend Watanabe: "It seems that Watanabe-kun is quite nervous, is this okay!?" ”

Hayakawa nodded and said trustingly: "I believe Watanabe will adjust his own, otherwise ......"

Next, Toyo High School hit the third baseman, and their pitcher was about to come on the court to strike.

Pitching duels with fellow pitchers are often the most exhausting, because pitchers and pitchers generally have a sharper insight than batters facing pitchers.

Sometimes, just by stepping on the board, the pitcher as a hitter can get a rough idea of what you're going to throw next.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is what it means.

So when facing Toyo High School's 3 batter Rikuku, Yasuno arranged a slider as a temptation to open the court at the beginning.

Watanabe threw as requested, the ball was not very good, and he threw a good ball belt a little high, and Tachikura let go of the ball and didn't hit.

In the second ball, Watanabe threw an inside corner to contain it, and Likura's destructive fishing swing hit the ball out of the right boundary;

Then the third ball Watanabe continued to attack the inside corner, this time he threw very low, the line was just at knee height, Tachikura again scooped the ball out of bounds, and was chased by Watanabe 2 good ball.

But then, Watanabe threw two bad balls that brushed the outside edge of the good ball belt, but none of them made Tachikura hit the bat, and dragged the good situation of chasing to the full number of balls.

In the end, Watanabe couldn't use the change of ball path other than the slider because his coach Kawano had explained, so Watanabe could only choose to use the slider at the bottom of the middle as the decisive shot.

This time, Tachikura was a little hesitant, because he saw that the ball was obviously a little low after it came out, and it was indeed a good way to play, but he was afraid that after hitting, he would be easily hit by other defenders on the field on the side of Aoba Dodai High School, and he would be out.

If you don't hit it, the bad ball goes to base, and you will be sent to first base by four bad balls.

Although Likura's psychology seems to have struggled for a long time, in fact, the baseball flew over for a short and fleeting few tenths of a second!

"Great! ~" After the ground sounded, Tachikura responded to Watanabe's bad ball with his actions.

Beat! ~

As a pitcher, the most unpleasant thing is that the opponent obviously has the strength, but he seems to be throwing the ball to himself in a perfunctory manner, so Licang angrily swung the bat and knocked the ball out.

"Ahh ~"Watanabe on the pitcher's mound didn't expect this kind of bad ball to be hit by the opponent Tachikura, and it was a little surprising.

But what surprised him even more was that the ball flew out of the home run wall in the end......

"Roar! ~~”

"Well done, Takakura-kun! ~”

“homerun！！！ ~~”

"Well played! ~”

"Oh yes~~"

Many of the students at Kamakura Toyo High School were so excited that they enjoyed watching their aces win a home run from their opponents as soon as they opened the game.

There were even a few people standing outside the lounge area and clapping, waiting there for their hero to return!

And after Likura easily ran a lap of the base bag and returned to home plate to step on the board, he stopped and said to Anno with some unhappiness: "Is that all you guys have such strength?!" ”

“~~~”

Anno looked up at Likura, and it was clear that there was a look of disappointment in Likura's eyes, and he knew that Watanabe's ball just now was a little Meng Lang, which may have caused Tachikura to have some misunderstandings about their Aoba Daotai High School.

But Anno couldn't explain what he said, so he had to force a calm reply: "The game just started, didn't it!?" ”

"Humph! ~" Tatsukura snorted, ignoring Anno's explanation, and walked back to the rest area on his side.

Well, looking at this situation, everyone can see that this is being underestimated!

So Anno immediately applied for a timeout, walked up to the pitcher's mound and met Watanabe to remind him: "Oh, stupid boy, look at the good you did!" ~”

"I'm sorry, senior, my fault!"

"You know what's wrong!?"

"Hai, I'll work hard~~"

At this time, Yasuno glanced at Watanabe, and then handed the baseball in his hand into his glove and said, "Take it easy, boy!" ~Believe in your ability, you can do it! ”

"Hay! ~”

However, Anno's reminder did not seem to get a satisfactory result, and when facing the two strong batters of Toyo High School, 4 and 5, Watanabe's pitch seemed to be restrained, and although the ball and slide ball were well coordinated, the ball power was unsatisfactory.

He hit two hits in quick succession from Toyo High School, and successfully sent two hitters to the 1st and 2nd bases.

Something is wrong...... (To be continued.) )
