Chapter 54: The Rising Super Ace (2-in-1)

The score was 2:1, and the Qingdao High School baseball team went from leading by one point to falling behind by one point.

The fans in the stands were also dizzying. Many people feel that today's final of the Kanto Conference, they are too worthwhile!

The confrontation between the two teams is full of swords and swords, and the fierceness makes people's hearts surge.

From the beginning of the game to the present, although both teams have not scored a lot of points, their little hearts have not been able to put down smoothly for a quarter of an hour.

In the words of a veteran fan, this game is.

"It's too intense, it's too exciting!"

"I don't even dare to blink, for fear that in the blink of an eye, I will miss a wonderful showdown."

It's not just about watching the lively people eating melons, there is such a feeling. Even many baseball professionals were firmly attracted by the opening scene of this game.

It wasn't until the first half of the second game that the situation between the two sides was broken.

At the beginning, Xiaoya Xiao, who opened the Musou mode, was finally found a flaw by the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School and scored two points in one fell swoop.

And looking at the situation on the field, they should continue to score.

In this case, the Seido High School baseball team changed pitchers. They replaced the team's ace Koichiro Tanba on the field.

If you mention the former Tanba, even if you are a supporter of the Seido High School baseball team, I am afraid you can't help but frown.

There's no way, the ace of the Qingdao High School baseball team is really missing a lot of decisive things.

He stood on the pitcher's mound, and instead of giving the team a sense of stability, he was like a giant colander that could go wrong at some point. Let the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team be scared.

But the current Tanba, especially the Tanba that has gone through the two matches of the Kanto Convention, gives the impression that it has changed dramatically.

Although he is not yet able to do it like Narumi Narumiya, as soon as he stands on the pitcher's mound, he can bring strength to the players of the team.

But compared to what he used to be, Tamba now no longer has the weakness he used to have.

On the contrary, he is very strong at times.

"Finally forced the ace out, so let's kill Senior Tanba in one go."

Narumi Narumiya, who had just been escorted back to home plate, raised his hands excitedly and cheered for the hitters on the field.

Tanba looked over with a cold look.

Narumiya immediately hid behind Harada Masako like a kitten.

"You're the ace of our team, isn't that embarrassing?"

Harada said angrily.

Narumiya shrugged his shoulders and replied very spinelessly, "Senior Tanba's eyes are really scary, okay?" ”

Harada was speechless and shook his head.

Who would have thought that this bold guy on the court would be so cowardly off the field?

As the match continued, Tamba, who had just been substituted, was under tremendous pressure at the start.

The runner on second base, who has already left the base, looks like he is actively trying to move on to the next base.

The hitter also put on a posture of being eager to try, seeing a good ball, and never letting go.

On the batting zone and the base pack, at the same time, put pressure on the pitchers of the Seido High School baseball team.

This hand, the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School played very well.

Although, when they watched the game footage before, they had already noticed Tamba's progress.

But the two teams have played each other many times, and they are too impressed by Tanba's previous time, and it is much more difficult to change their minds directly than other teams.

So they still subconsciously used the same method they used to deal with Tanba.

And it's not wrong.

After all, the nature of the country is easy to change, and even Tanbo has improved a lot compared to before. But some of his original weaknesses have not been completely overcome.

"Want to shake the pitcher?"

In the stands, there are many people who know baseball. The players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, that is, they have just started the fight, and they understand what kind of wishful thinking the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School have in their hearts?

"In the past, this was the best weapon against Koichiro Tanba."

In the third year of the city university, a contestant with a camera muttered to the friends around him.

His little friend also nodded.

Although the three high schools of the city university were eliminated in the first round, they have been sent to investigate during the Kanto Conference. In particular, they scouted the two teams in the same area as them, Seido High School and Daocheng Industry.

In this final, the two teams that played were Qingdao and Daocheng, who had a lot of entanglements with the three high schools of the city.

Of course, they won't let it go.

The two contestants have been staring at this place, recording the whole process. Even if the game is broadcast on TV, it will be broadcast on online platforms afterwards. They still brought cameras with them, as if they were afraid that the TV station and online platforms would not record clearly and carefully enough.

At this time, they discussed that the confrontation between Qingdao and Daocheng Industry had a feeling of being a passerby.

After all, in Nishitokyo, the junior of the city university has also fought against two rivals many times. For the players of both teams, it is much clearer than the others.

In particular, Koichiro Tanba, who really wants the story of their team's ace, has appeared on print media and online platforms many times.

They know all about Tanba's past performances.

Once someone gets on the base and the runner and hitter put pressure on Tambo at the same time, there is a high probability that Tamba will collapse.

The Qingdao High School baseball team, precisely because of this, suffered a lot of losses in the previous games with Daocheng and the city juniors.

But these were all before the Kanto Convention. After entering the Kanto Conference, Tanba, who has become a third-year student, seems to have received some kind of stimulation and has grown very quickly.

At least in the previous two or three games, he has overcome some of his weakness.

In other words, in the first two games, his performance was still okay. Although they have lost points, although they are not as strong and reliable as other teams' aces.

But he has begun to gradually show the characteristics and temperament that an ace pitcher should have.

But the previous two games have a big peculiarity. The first is that their opponent at that time seemed to be a little bit behind the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School.

On the other hand, the two teams do not know as much about the Qingdao High School baseball team as they do in the same district, Daocheng Industrial and the Third High School of the City University.

Want to verify, is the current Tanba Koichiro really as much as everyone imagined?

There's a great opportunity in front of us.

If he can play against the Baseball Team of Inagi Industrial High School again, he will also show a wonderful performance.

That means he's really grown!

The Seido High School baseball team, which is already very fearful, will also go to a higher level because of the growth of Koichiro Tanba.

If not, if it is against the Baseball Team of Inagi Industrial High School, the growth that Tanba has shown before will not be visible.

It's a pity, but even if Koichiro Tanba is really as people think, he has grown a lot more than before.

For the Seido High School baseball team, it doesn't mean much.

Who made the Seido High School baseball team unlucky and divided into the rival West Tokyo?

Not to mention those rising stars, just the three giants are not qualified to compete with Daocheng Industry and the three major players of the city.

For the Qingdao High School baseball team, it's like chicken ribs. It's a pity to discard it.

In the eyes of all the fans in the stadium, Tambo held his head high, and no one knew what he was thinking.

But the whole time, he didn't look back at the runner on second base.

Have you forgotten me?

Eighty percent of the players on the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School are very versatile. When the pitcher of the Seido High School baseball team is obsessed with the matchup with the hitter, he may ignore his own existence.

He subconsciously moved a few more steps in the direction of third base.

As long as the players on the Qingdao High School baseball team are willing to give him a chance, he doesn't mind making waves on the baseball at all.

But just as he made a move, Tanba seemed to have eyes behind his back, suddenly turned around, and a sharp containment ball was passed to second base.

"Smack!"

Ryosuke Kominato had already dived silently, steadily taking the ball into his glove, ready to hack the runner.

The runner of Daocheng Industry, although he took an adventure just now, his eyes have not left Tanba.

The moment he saw Tamba turn around, his feet were misaligned, and he made an emergency side pounce.

Although the action was a little embarrassing, the result was still good, and while Ryosuke Kominato received the ball, he returned to second base safely.

Because the action was too hasty, his mouth even took up a little soil.

"Phew!"

The runner stood up in embarrassment and spat out the dirt in his mouth.

On his head, a fine layer of cold sweat had unconsciously appeared.

"Safety!"

Ryo Kominato glanced at the runner next to him unhappily.

These guys on the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School are really slippery.

He passed the ball back to Tambo.

This time, the runners of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School said that they didn't dare to leave the base bag so far, and they were honestly like a family sparrow.

In the rest area of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team, their players gave their own evaluations of Tanba's performance.

"The mentality is more stable than before."

The person who knows you best may not be your teammates, but your opponents.

The baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School is undoubtedly the most real feeling now.

Although this containment ball did not change any result on the field, it still gave the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School a preventive shot.

Through this little thing, the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School did not dare to be as unscrupulous as before no matter what.

If it weren't for the right opportunity, they wouldn't even dare to take the risk lightly.

After addressing the runner's concerns, Tanba began to fight the hitter wholeheartedly. The baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School is the most powerful club in Western Tokyo today, and it has been strong for more than ten years.

It is precisely for this reason that the baseball team of Inagi Industrial High School has recruited many very powerful players.

So much so that the thickness of their entire player layer is even better than that of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

The core main force may be almost the same, ordinary players, including substitutes in the first army, and even players in the second army.

Daocheng industry basically has a certain advantage.

So even if they are the players who play the line at the bottom of their team, they must not be underestimated.

Today, the Seido High School baseball team is facing such a situation.

Two of the three players on the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team have won a home run, and the remaining one has a very good batting percentage.

If this is placed in an ordinary team, as a core hitter, or even a fourth baseman, it is no problem.

For example, this batter in the current strike zone has won more than a dozen home runs, and the overall batting rate is 20096.

To put it bluntly, this is an opponent that the Seido High School baseball team must do their best and take seriously.

It was also a great test for Tamba.

Tanba took a deep breath, and his mind couldn't help but recall how he worked hard with his friends on the Qingdao High School baseball team over the years.

Practice swinging again and again!

Practice pitching again and again!!

Some people may be a little more delicate and keep a record of the number and time of practice each day.

Tamba didn't.

He is not such a delicate person, but after every day of practice, the shirt on his body can wring out water.

Regardless of what the outside world says? In fact, he also worked hard step by step.

He doesn't believe that the sweat he has paid will be in vain?

"Whoosh!"

The white baseball, whistling towards it, suddenly made a sharp turn as it approached the hitter.

Fall from a high altitude and fall into a good ball belt.

The hitter in Daocheng in the strike zone watched the baseball and was about to smash it in the face, and then suddenly changed direction and fell urgently.

It's like a shooting star!

In the face of a ball that changes so much and so quickly, the eyes are no longer good.

If you keep staring at the flying baseball, not only will it not do you any good, but it may interfere with your vision.

But how could he hit such a ball without looking?

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!!"

"Good Ball !!"

"Strikeout!"

The baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, this subordinate hitter with excellent hitting strength, was solved strongly.

From beginning to end, he gritted his teeth and barely swung his bat once.

However, this time, he was not able to touch the ball and was directly knocked out.

The hitter behind him barely touched the ball, but again, it didn't work.

"Ping!"

After three high-drop curveballs in a row, Tanba used a straight ball against the next hitter.

Of course, the hitter will not let go of the straight ball that finally appears, so he shot directly.

However, in the process of blowing, in his mind, there will inevitably be such a curveball flying by.

So much so that the hitter's striking posture was disturbed.

The hit baseball flew high and landed directly above the shortstop's head.

"Hip hop!"

Kuramochi rushed to the landing point of the baseball one step ahead of time and steadily grabbed the baseball into his glove.

"Three outs, offensive and defensive exchanges!"
