Chapter 85: The Disappearing Straight Ball (Part 1)

Three outs, offense and defense exchange!

Under Miyuki's routine, the Qingdao High School baseball team successfully won the last one out and held the game.

Miyuki's merits can't even be fully expressed in words.

If he really wanted to say it, he was equivalent to dragging the Qingdao High School baseball team back from the edge of the cliff.

After the players returned to the rest area, Superintendent Kataoka first glanced at Tanba lightly.

Then he turned to the other players and said, "The other side has already taken the lead, if we don't want to fall behind, then we have to fight back." Just let them see the results of our practice. ”

The friends think so.

If they don't want to sit still, they've been pressed by these guys from the Inajo Industrial High School baseball team.

Then you have to fight back against the other party! You have to score points.

One by one, the beaters patted their chests and assured that they would find a way to score points.

Kataoka still has a lot of trust in the abilities of his disciples. He lifted his chin slightly and motioned for the players to come on the court.

After the fighters had all prepared, Kataoka turned his gaze back to Tanba.

"Is there any problem with your cooperation with Miyuki? At the beginning, was there a disagreement? ”

Knowing the apprentice Mo Ruoshi.

It is estimated that 99.9 percent of the people at the scene did not see it. But this matter could not hide from Kataoka's eyes.

"On the pitch, you're team-mates and I hope you can agree on the same thing."

Kataoka's tone was not harsh.

But Tanbo could hear that it was already a warning.

"Yes!"

Wouldn't discussing a unified opinion just make him obey Miyuki's orders?

In the second half of the first inning, the Qingdao High School baseball team attacked.

Kuramochi, who was the offensive engine of the Seido High School baseball team, was the first to stand in the strike zone.

In the past few days, the news about Cheng Gong Ming has been swiped in the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Everyone is talking about how powerful this player of his age is.

Kuramochi was unconvinced.

This guy's strength, can he still be terrifying to Zhang Han?

In Kurachi's opinion, Zhang Han is already the most terrifying newcomer of their era. After all, not every player can break two Koshien rookie records when they enter Koshien in the first year.

Listen, is this all a human thing?

People break records in pairs.

Narumi Narumiya had played against the Seido High School baseball team before, and he did cause some trouble for the team, but in the end, he was not defeated by Seido's men.

Why haven't you seen each other for two months, and the other party is still dragging it up? There is no such reason.

Just let him hold the uncle and learn a good lesson, what kind of strength does this guy have?

"Whoosh!"

When the first ball thrown by Cheng Gong Ming flew over, Uncle Kuramochi was stupid.

Knowing that Narumi Narumiya's ball speed was fast, Seido High School deliberately used a pitching machine to simulate the ball speed of 150 kilometers before the game.

When he was just simulated, Kuramochi was taken aback, he couldn't believe that that kind of terrifying ball speed could be thrown by humans.

From the appearance of baseball to the moment it comes to the eye, that is, in the blink of an eye, how do you hit such a ball?

But after watching the first ball thrown by Cheng Gongming, Cangzhi no longer had any doubts in his heart.

Someone can really throw it, the kind of ball that looks faster than a pitching machine.

In the blink of an eye, the baseball flew past Kuramochi's eyes and plunged into Harada's open gloves.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

In the process, Kurachi did not have time to react.

In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the friends were silent one by one.

They knew very well in their hearts what the goal just meant.

"In just two months, this guy's ball speed is actually fast again?"

"Some players are like that, once they lose a match, they will grow faster. Narumiya, as expected, is of this type. ”

"One hundred and forty-eight kilometers!"

In the stands, someone was ready to test the speed of the ball.

Soon the news was known to everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, one by one in shock.

The threshold of one hundred and fifty kilometers is getting closer and closer. He is the fastest pitcher in Tokyo, and he is a monster!

Kuramochi gritted his teeth secretly.

No matter how unconvinced he was, he had to admit that Cheng Gongming's strength was indeed extraordinary.

He even threw such a ball?

Fortunately, they had gradually gotten used to the speed of 150 kilometers before, and although it was very difficult, he was not completely out of reach.

Here it comes!

Narumiya unceremoniously threw the second ball, and he obviously wanted to completely suppress Kuramochi before Kuramochi could get used to the speed of the ball.

But it was clear that he had miscalculated.

The position that has fallen behind in the number of balls has not flinched at all at this time.

He stiffened his head and swung the bat in his hand.

"Ping!"

The moment the bat touched the baseball, Kuramochi felt like his two tigers were about to crack.

It's so heavy!

It's like holding a bat and hitting it on an iron plate. He never thought that Cheng Gongming's ball power would be like this again.

The little white ball didn't even hit the front and slid out of the catcher's side.

Harada, who was in the catcher position, was not at all happy about suppressing the beaters of Qingdao.

He was amazed.

This guy actually caught the rhythm of Ah Ming's straight ball on the second ball.

It's amazing.

Judging from the information they had collected before, Kurachi's striking strength was obviously very average.

This point, as a partner, Naruto Gong, also felt it.

The opponent standing in front of him is no longer cold information, but a living person.

Kurachi's performance is not as incompetent as it is written in the information. On the contrary, he can also put a certain amount of pressure on himself to some extent.

"That's what makes it interesting!"

Cheng Gongming was not angry at all, on the contrary, he was very happy.

Qingdao had defeated his own team before, and if he was easily defeated, he would be disappointed.

As a villain, you should have the appearance of a villain. If you don't have any strength at all, wouldn't it seem that you lost to them before, and you are very incompetent.

"Whoosh!"

Narumiya, who was leading by two good balls, threw his third ball.

The little white ball comes to the good ball belt in the blink of an eye.

Kuramochi puffed out his cheeks and used all the strength of the milk, trying to hit the ball.

But in the end, he didn't even touch the ball.

The small white ball seems to have suddenly disappeared as it approaches the good ball belt.

"Smack..."

"Good shot!!"

"Strikeout!!

As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.

Kuramochi returned to the rest area, and when he met Ryosuke Kominato on the way, he opened his mouth but didn't say a word.

He wanted to say, watch out for the straight ball, the ball seems to be gone!

But this statement is too mysterious, he can't even convince himself, how can he make Senior Minato believe it?

In this case, it's better not to say anything, and let the senior experience it himself.

But when he got to the rest area, he still told what he had seen.

"It's not gone, it's floating."

Superintendent Kataoka explained.

"The ball is fast, because it spins fast, and the baseball itself has a rising force. To hit his straight ball, you can't aim at the route of the general straight ball, and you have to go up about a ball with your swing. ”

The friends suddenly realized one by one.

Although they understood the principle, they were still very apprehensive in their hearts.

Before Cheng Gong Ming's pitching, although the speed was amazing, there was no such feature.

Now, how to ponder, how awkward?

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Zhang Han, who was about to change his gloves and was ready to play, showed a thoughtful expression after hearing Kataoka's words.

The biggest problem with his pitching right now is that it's too monotonous. Even if he practiced the ball control, he had no characteristics in itself, and the ball speed was not fast to the extreme.

The power is quite average!

Not to mention that it is not as good as Tanba senior's curveball, and even compared with Kawakami's Shinka ball, there is no advantage.

Would it be better if he could master this straight ball that allows the ball to go up?

If baseball can go up, can it go down too?
