Chapter 36: The Achilles' Heel (Part 1)
Ball speed 155 km/h!
It was like a big mountain that suddenly appeared above the head of Seido High School. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
King Qingdao, naturally there are some advantages that others can't match. Yu Xing, the first catcher of the era, and Yang Ping, the strongest player of the era, have the highest voice......
Both are also very strong, but both are controversial. After all, there is a lot of subjectivity in commenting on this kind of thing.
But there is one thing, which is only available in Qingdao, and others are beyond the reach of others.
That's the ball speed of Akira Tsukiya.
The maximum ball speed is 158 km/h, and the standard ball speed can reach 155 km/h.
Now in the country, there are many monster pitchers. Hongo, Azawa Shu and the opponent of this match, Takushi Harada. They also all have a ball speed of more than 15 percent, but the gap between them and Xiaobi is still obvious.
Because their ball speed is 150+, and the ball speed of Xiaogu is 155+. With a difference in ball speed of a full five kilometers, Xiao Gu definitely crushed them in terms of ball speed.
And this has become the biggest signboard of King Qingdao, and the fastest pitcher in the country is Qingdao.
In the past, the opponent of Qingdao was short of breath than unconsciously, whether it was fast ball speed or rich ball change. Because your little thing, compared to the two pitchers of Qingdao, is really not worth mentioning.
Akira Shibuyani's ball speed is the highest in the country, and now Sawamura also has the most types of changing balls in the country. Some media have done a special sorting out of Sawamura's change ball, not to mention some small tricks that can't be seen. There are 13 ways to clearly distinguish the ball path.
Such a Qingdao competition with others is naturally full of confidence.
Now, it's different!
Even if no one has caught up with the fastest ball speed of Xiaotani, someone has approached this threshold.
Takumi Harada, ball speed 155.
The guy who can really threaten the dominance of Qingdao has appeared.
Of course, that's not all. Standing on the strike zone, waiting for the strike at any time, the front garden feels the deepest. There was a big 'embarrassment' written on his face.
Harada's pitch just now looked like it was going to run away, and his short stick couldn't keep up.
In the cowshed of Qingdao Road.
Miyuki looked the most calm, and his statement was also the most objective: "It's ball control!" The opponent clearly controlled the ball into the corner at a low angle. In this way, the front garden of people is tall and large, and it is naturally inconvenient to use short fights. ”
"Rather than this, it is better to let the front garden hit head-on."
Ochiai also discovered this problem. After all, short play requires talent, and a pitcher like Harada Qiao is probably the last thing to fear is this kind of short play.
Kanto first, it is very obvious that there is already a certainty, the certainty of limiting Yang Ping to third base.
"Hmm."
Superintendent Kataoka nodded, and now he had no choice but to gamble. And Qingdao is not without a chance. As long as Qianyuan hits the ball into the field, with Yang Ping's reaction and speed, he may not be able to score points.
"Whew~"
Receiving Kataoka's signal, Maezono nodded secretly.
It's okay now, if he really gets into a low-angle ultra-high-speed pitch, he won't be easy to hit even if it's a short hit. After all, he is not Sawamura, Yang Ping. Not so good short-hitting skills.
"Boom!"
On the next ball, Maezono waved decisively, but the bat he swung out did not touch Harada's pitch at all.
The baseball sank before his eyes!
Really!
Harada's balls are only straight, but his handling is very good, and the ball can rise and fall to varying degrees.
Speaking of pitcher monsters, the vast majority of spectators and fans will think of Qingdao's Tsukitani Xiao for the first time. But in fact, the Harada in front of him is not one of them?
"Good shot!"
In the end, the front garden did not touch the ball of Harada Qiao, and the ball speed of 155 kilometers was tricky enough, plus different degrees of rise and fall, as well as ball control!
Harada's pitching strength is definitely beyond the ability of most hitters in Seido High School.
Two outs, someone on third base!
The original great crisis seems to have ceased to exist all of a sudden.
As long as the last hitter is knocked out in the strikeout, it's all over.
Thinking about it, Yongcang Hao glanced at Yang Ping on third base complacently, which means that we are so sharp.
The only regret is that he couldn't face Yang Ping head-on and let him get on base.
In this way, they had to face Yang Ping once in the last game. At that time, depending on the situation, it is not impossible to choose to escort him. If all goes well, then when they finally face Yang Ping, they will be two outs and no one will go to base.
Even Yang Ping has no power to return to the sky.
Thinking of this, Yongcang Hao smiled comfortably.
Suddenly, as if he had seen something incredible, he stared at Yang Ping on third base and fell into deep thought.
What does this guy want to do?
On third base, Yang Ping smiled indifferently.
Kanto Daiichi really thought of everything, and they obviously considered various situations, including how to suppress themselves in this situation.
However, they missed a little.
That is, although I was useless before, it doesn't mean that I can't use it.
At this time, it was Tojo who came on the field to strike.
Yang Ping suddenly gave Tojo a code, and Tojo nodded in understanding.
Yongcang Hao, who witnessed this scene, wondered in his heart: What the hell do the people of Qingdao want to do?
In such a situation, even if there is any countermeasure, it will not be useful.
Not allowing him to think too much, Tojo put on a short stick. ,
Short sticks? Right now?
Yongcang Hao was confused in his heart, he felt that he couldn't understand Yang Ping's heart at all.
Even if Yang Ping gets on base, as long as Tojo is out, it's useless for him to run back to home plate, right?
"Ignore it, concentrate on dealing with the beater. If he's going to play short, let him play well. ”
After thinking about it, Nagakura Hiroshi thought that it would be better to use Harada Takeshi's latest pitch just to be on the safe side. That kind of ultra-low fast ball is not easy to hit even if it is short.
On the pitcher mound, Harada nodded.
If he doesn't use the stunt he has worked so hard to hone at this time, when will he use it?
Opponent Aodo, Kanto finals!
You can still find it there, such a good stage.
"Knock~"
Seeing Harada's pitching, Tojo calmly touched the ball with his bat, but he didn't touch it.
"Good shot!"
The number of balls is a good ball.
Nagakura Hao's heart was relieved, and sure enough, as long as Harada could throw the ball quickly, it would not be easy for the opponent to play short. Not to mention, Harada's ball can also deceive the hitter's sight......
Then, don't be embarrassed about the number of balls, and kill them in one go.
At this time, Yongcang Hao didn't notice Yang Ping, who was originally staying at third base, and he didn't know when he had left third base.
He began to move constantly on home plate, albeit with a small, light step that would be difficult for ordinary people to notice. But Yang Ping did move, and he was getting farther and farther away from third base.
