Chapter 54: The Most Powerful Man in History (Part 1)

Two outs, one or three bases.

The players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team felt like they were about to cry.

They were simply unlucky, and they had already won two games since the first baseball field of the Seido High School baseball team. You only need to take one more number of outs to complete the third game.

But this number of outs is like being magical, and no matter how they try to get it, they can't get it down. On the contrary, it was Qingdao High School, which took this opportunity to score hits and scores one after another.

Now the score between the two sides has become 4:3, only one point apart. The situation on the field has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

It's not that Kiryu Osaka hasn't thought of a way, and Supervisor Takahiro Matsumoto even disrupted his previous arrangement and directly sent their team's trump card to the field.

His purpose in doing this, of course, is to use the trump card to end this unfavorable situation.

But the effect is not ideal.

Even if they sent Takejiro Koji on the field, they couldn't stop the offensive of the Seido High School baseball team.

It was only after Xiao Wu came on the court that Matsumoto realized what a stupid thing he had done. The two teams are friendship schools, and their relationship with each other is extraordinary, and there are many practice matches played every year.

To say that Kiyochi knows Kiryu Osaka best, which pitcher? There is no doubt that it is their trump card Kotakejiro.

Compared with Nakata and Hiromi Kate, Qingdao definitely knows Xiao Wu.

In this case, how could they panic because Xiao Wu was replaced with a pitching ball, and they were confused.

That's simply not possible.

Even because the person who changed was Xiao Wu, they would feel more familiar and more adaptable.

After all, the last time they duel, just two months ago, this time is too short, and it is difficult for Xiao Wu, who is already very mature, to make progress in such a short period of time.

"Am I messing up?"

The expression on Matsumoto Takahiro's face was a little stiff.

Although he hasn't taken Qingdao too seriously in his mouth, in his heart, he's probably not thinking so.

Maybe even Matsumoto himself doesn't know, but he has unknowingly regarded the Seido High School baseball team as his great enemy.

It is precisely because of this that he has so much pressure to make such stupid judgments.

Why change the trump card in advance?

The reason is actually very simple, it is because Matsumoto is not as confident as before. He was no longer convinced that they would be able to take the initiative until the game was won.

Matsumoto didn't like that negative feeling, so he wanted to take the initiative back into his own hands.

This is why he sent his ace to the field in advance.

Because his heart is weak, he is not confident.

In stark contrast to Matsumoto, Kataoka, the superintendent of the Seido High School baseball team, has a sharp glint in his eyes.

As a friendship university.

Which team does the Qingdao High School baseball team have the closest relationship with? It's definitely not the two rivals in the Nishitokyo area, after all, they don't usually play many practice matches except for official matches.

Seido High School has a lot of friendships with wealthy families, which is why they were able to maintain their strength and fame even without entering Koshien.

Among these friendship schools, Osaka Kiryu should be regarded as one of the most closely connected, and it can even be said that it is the closest.

In the face of such a close partner, the other party is one of the strongest teams in Koshien. To say that Kataoka has no idea in his heart is probably only a fool.

Although it didn't show it on the surface, the two sides have been fighting hard in private. Of course, the main thing is that Kataoka competes with Osaka Kiryu and Matsumoto Takahiro, and Matsumoto Takahiro doesn't have many ideas in this regard.

Kataoka is so strong in his heart, but Qingdao's previous strength can't give him strong support.

So he can only hide the strength in his heart in the depths of his heart, and be careful not to let anyone see it.

But now it's different, the Seido High School baseball team has risen, and they're no longer afraid of anyone. Kataoka no longer has to be careful to hide his inner ambition. He can be open and challenge the strong enemy in his heart.

Kataoka looked at Kiryu's rest area in Osaka, and his gaze was so hot that the people of Kiryu Osaka couldn't pretend not to see it if they wanted to.

"The little guy of the past dares to provoke me now."

Matsumoto's face was silent.

Just a few years ago, Kataoka had just graduated from college, and his hair hadn't grown up, a fledgling little hairy child.

Now, when the little hairy boy has grown up, he dares to grin at him.

"Now we are still ahead! You're too optimistic. ”

Matsumoto gave a code to the players on the field.

He wanted to remind his disciples not to underestimate any opponent of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

They have not only strength, but also intelligence. Next, don't follow the usual routine, go all out, and show your pitching characteristics as much as possible.

Even if Qingdao Dao knew their information, it didn't matter. After all, he sent the trump card to the game, and he didn't intend to have an advantage in intelligence.

At this time, the most important thing is to look at the performance of the players themselves.

Takahiro Matsumoto has confidence in his disciples. He believed that his disciples would never let him down.

Xiao Takejiro on the pitcher's hill, after receiving the code, it was as if he had broken some kind of seal, and the whole person's mental outlook was completely new.

He looked back at his opponent, the man who was motionless in the strike zone.

Tetsuya Yuuki is one of the three core players on the Seido High School baseball team.

The strength is definitely there, but Xiao Wu didn't pay too much attention to it. He has encountered too many strong fights, and his opponent is too weak for him to be interested.

He likes strong opponents, and only this kind of opponent makes him feel like his blood is pumping. It is because of this tension that he finds it interesting to be a pitcher.

The pitcher's mound cannot be replaced by any other position.

Now this feeling is very good, so that he can have no distractions and devote himself to the opponent in front of him.

"Whew!"

A small white ball, whizzing out.

On the electronic display, the speed of the ball is just over 140 kilometers.

But the pitching feels like that's not all, the ball feels so fast that you almost stop breathing.

In the face of this ball, Yuki in the strike zone did not move at all from beginning to end.

He watched as the small white ball flew past his eyes and then fell heavily into the trapper Shibata's glove.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

This goal is full of courage.

The fans who were originally shaken by their confidence in the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team also regained their hearts at this time.

It seems as if they are worried about it themselves.

The team has no problems at all, and their ace pitcher is still strong.

Although it was a bit inappropriate to shout cheers while the team was on guard, they couldn't help but cheer.

"Suppress each other like this! Don't give them a chance. ”

"Go all out and get outs."

In this game, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team has actually lost two points. But at this time, their fans seem to have forgotten those two points outside of Warat.

They seem to have seen that Tetsu Yuuki has also been solved. As soon as they see this, they feel that it is exciting.

What about the struggle of the Qingdao High School baseball team, in the face of their Cosmos team, the more the opponent struggles, the more miserable they let the other team die.

The Seido High School baseball team is the most vivid example.

The audience watched with blood pumping and enjoyed watching.

But they don't know their ace pitcher, and they don't know the bottom of their hearts.

Yuuki just now, when faced with the pitch, he didn't even move. If the other party is not Yuuki, Xiao Wu may think that the other party is scared stupid.

But the other party is Yuuki, so it's impossible to be stupid.

Since it's not stupid, it means that the other party has another plan, but what is this plan?

Yuuki didn't move at all, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't guess.

"This guy, the way he waits for the ball, is so annoying!"

It is precisely because he knows that he is Yuuki that his motionlessness makes people even more jealous.

This is something that even acquaintances can't avoid.

When Kotakejiro threw the second ball, his body was a little stiff, and the ball he threw was a little unnatural.
