Chapter 55: The Pitcher's War (Part 3)
Qingdao and Chengkong Academy's game,The first game is over.。 Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The overall score is 4:0!
After Yang Ping hit a home run, Ogawa was hit hard and was about to collapse.
At this time, Shinichiro shouted a timeout, and he angrily walked up to the pitcher's mound, and then said coldly.
"You're a sophomore crying fart? I haven't cried in this third grade, have I? ”
Senior!
Ogawa looked at Shinichiro with tears in his eyes.
He's crying for his seniors, it's already 4:0, they're afraid ......
Qingdao is four points ahead, and the probability of recovering the gap is not much greater than if you won the lottery. There are thousands of high schools in the country, and there are absolutely very few who can confidently catch up after being led by Qingdao by four points.
Cheng Kong probably doesn't belong to one of these rare people.
Ogawa is in the second grade, and he will be able to compete for the autumn competition, the spring Koshien and the next summer Koshien, so there is still a chance. Having a chance means that there is still hope, which means that it will not make people so desperate. But Shin'Ichiro is different, Shin'ichiro is already in the third grade. What does junior mean for high school baseball? This means that after losing the summer tournament, they will officially retire, and one game will represent the end of their three-year high school baseball career.
As cruel as it sounds, this is reality, and reality is always full of cruelty.
Because of his incompetence, he sent his seniors to a dead end, which is the reason why Xiaochuan cried bitterly.
"We haven't lost yet, don't cry like a coward."
Shin Ichiro grabbed Ogawa's collar, his eyes were still burning with fighting spirit, and he said to Ogawa step by step: "If you really feel sorry, you can happily take the number of outs for me." ”
"Yes!"
Tears and snot had already flowed from his face, but he nodded happily. With the understanding and support of his seniors, although it was only commanding, Ogawa's heart felt a lot better.
This is also evident in his pitching form after that.
He scored three outs very quickly from the five, six, or seven hands of Qingdao High School.
On the verge of the collapse of Chengkong School Park, this game was guarded.。
In the first half of the second game, Chengkong attacked.
It was their fourth batter, Nagata, who was hit, while the rest gathered in the cowshed to listen to the guidance of their own coach, Kumakiri.
Coach Kumakiri, one of the oldest qualified coaches in Nishitokyo, is highly respected. His coaching style is very tough, whether it is the daily training of the players or the competition, he is a very hard coach.
Because of his conscientious and responsible attitude,Chengkong Academy's results in those years were also good.。 Although there are not many chances to enter Koshien, it can barely be regarded as a strong school in the whole of Nishitokyo.
It wasn't until last summer that they lost in the first round and coach Xiong Che resigned.
Later, at the strong request of his own players, the school agreed to re-sign the contract with Coach Xiong Che, and he returned to coach.
When he came back, he didn't have any difference in his daily training as before. But usually he is much softer in dealing with things and speaking.
"Do you know why you were scored four points in one go?"
He asked his disciples softly.
The friends of Chengkong College drooped their heads one by one and said nothing.
As the captain of the team, Shinichiro Shin naturally can't be the same as other friends. At this time, he took the initiative to take responsibility, and he believed that it was indeed his own responsibility.
"I shouldn't have faced Yang Ping head-on at that time, it was my fault."
Shinichiro said.
Coach Xiong Che glanced at him, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. If it weren't for the team of Chengkong Academy,The future of Shinichiro is definitely more than that.。
Most of the other players in Chengkong School Park are filled with muscles in their heads.,Discuss what countermeasures with them.,It's basically playing the piano to the cow.。 In contrast, Shinichiro also has some tactical literacy.
"If you attribute all the blame for losing points to the duel with Yang Ping, then you are very wrong."
Coach Kumakiri denied Shinichiro's statement: "The precursor to the real collapse of the game should be the four bads, which means that when Ogawa throws the first four bad balls, he has already put the team in passivity." This mistake doesn't seem big on the surface, but these players in Qingdao High School rely on their own strength to constantly tear open this loophole until it is bigger and bigger, irreparable. ”
"Their players are free to choose their actions, from the first baseball to start stealing bases, to Kominato's temporary adjustments, and finally relying on the situation of people on first and third bases, distracting us and stealing home plates. Qingdao High School uses all available methods to expand its strengths. They deserve to be the strongest team in the country, King Qingdao. ”
"If we want to fight against such an opponent, it is necessary to fight head-on, if we don't even have the courage to fight, what difference do we have with salted fish? The more you are in a disadvantageous position, the more you cannot retreat, and once you retreat, the enemy will be more pressing. Even if you avoid a head-to-head confrontation with Yang Ping in the first game, then Qingdao High School's offensive will not be reduced. ”
Don't look at the time when no one is out, when no one is on the base, Xiaochuan successfully solved the white state. But if the situation at that time was not that no one was out and no one was on base, but that there were people on the base or even full base, the outcome would probably have been different.
"Against an opponent like that, we can't afford to be careless. You can't miss a single chance to strike, and you can't let go of a single out. In short, give full play to your strength and work hard to find a way to win. This is the only magic weapon we can rely on to turn the situation around. ”
Coach Xiong Che taught his disciples earnestly.
And at this time, their fourth baton was also out.
"Ping!"
Nagata hit Yangping's ball into an infield rebound, and the ball was caught by Kuramochi and sent to first base.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
"Strikeout!!
After the fourth baton Nagata was out, the fifth batter who followed was not spared and was knocked out by strikeouts.
Yang Ping quickly won three outs, allowing Chengkong School to go up and down three times.
On the other side, Chengkong School Park was not to be outdone.,Under Ogawa's sharp pitching,Quickly won two outs from the hands of Qingdao High School.。
With two outs and no one on base, it was the turn of the first baseman.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
"Strikeout!"
In the case of two outs, Kuramochi has no choice but to fight hard with Ogawa.
It's a pity that Ogawa's pitch is too sharp now, and Kuramochi doesn't touch the ball.
