"This trump card of the Qingdao High School baseball team is too useless..."

"As long as the opponent's hitter goes to third base, his whole state will change dramatically."

"Maybe you're too nervous, right?"

"If it's a first-year, he's a third-year player. Facing Musashi High School is nervous, then I really feel sad for the Seido High School baseball team. ”

Musashi High School is said to have a bit of strength, but it's just a bit of strength. As far as Tokyo as a whole is concerned, it is absolutely impossible for them to be in the top 10, or even in the top 20.

In the face of such an opponent, the Qingdao High School baseball team has fallen into a hard battle. Not to mention competing with other big teams in the future.

"This year's Qingdao, I'm afraid it's still not good!"

"Since Inspector Sakaki left, it seems that Seido High School has not really risen to prominence once."

"Don't say it so absolutely, I think they went to Koshien once. Although compared to the other two giants, the probability is a little lower......"

"That's right, yes. It was in Kataoka's first year as overseer. But that team was also supervised by Sakaki, and he just picked up a ready-made bargain, which didn't prove his strength. ”

In the stands, several teams that came to scout invariably expressed such feelings.

Although the lineup of the Seido High School baseball team is stronger than at any time in previous years.

But as long as they have such trump cards, then there is nothing to fear.

These people who came to scout were full of confidence in their own team's trump card or the overall strength of their own team.

What is Giant?

That's a luxury team of aces and 4 sticks.

There are no weaknesses in such a team.

Or it can be said that a team with weaknesses has no way to become a giant at all.

While they were talking, a middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap, ordinary appearance, and an ordinary figure slowly walked into the court.

The man was in the corner at the back of the pitch and had been there for a while.

He heard the people around him talking, and he couldn't bear it anymore before he stood up.

"Hidesawa is a very famous pitcher throughout Tokyo. Although he has more of a bad form than the average ace, he is still one of the most famous pitchers in all of Tokyo. Such a pitcher, as long as he is in good shape, has no weaknesses. ”

The person who came was a veteran reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine named Fujifu.

His words are still very convincing.

Several team members who came to investigate were silent.

Everyone was stunned for a while before someone asked.

"Then Mr. reporter, what is going on in front of you?"

Since Fujifu is willing to stand up, he has naturally thought of a rhetoric a long time ago.

"I don't know if you've heard of it? Chris, the main catcher of the Qingdao High School baseball team, was injured during a previous training session. He came off the bench as a first-year rookie. ”

"The reason why this scene is happening is probably because the pitcher does not trust the catcher."

Xiuzawa, I'm afraid he doesn't believe in junior students, especially when someone goes up to third base.

Opponents can score at any time.

As a newcomer who has just been promoted, can you withstand this pressure and give full play to your strength.

It's all unknown.

There are people on third base, and as the offensive side, the players of the Musashi High School baseball team naturally have to go all out.

At this critical moment of needle-to-wheat mang, any hesitation is fatal.

According to Fujifu's guess, this is the most critical reason for Qingdao's problems.

Xiuze, who has been promoted to the third grade, is no longer the teenager who just joined the team two years ago and can tease nothing.

He has to look out for the overall good of the team.

It is precisely for this reason, although his ball speed and ball power have been greatly improved.

But his pitching now is a little less aggressive than he was in the first grade.

Is this change good or bad?

I'm afraid no one can say for sure now.

"That's not a big deal. Whether it is the pitcher himself or the team that goes wrong, the outcome of the Seido High School baseball team has been determined. ”

There are still a lot of people on the pitch who understand.

Fujifu is not alone in seeing the problem.

But seeing the problem is easy, even Zhang Han has a little guess. It's not so easy to solve the problem, at least Zhang Han can't do it himself.

Chris's absence will certainly have a significant impact on the team.

In fact, all the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are clear.

But they never imagined that this contradiction would erupt so quickly and so suddenly.

So much so that until now, they had no preparation at all, so they had to start solving the problem.

Superintendent Kataoka, who was in the rest area, frowned slightly, and was ready to take action.

He planned to use the method of herald to give orders to Hidesawa on the pitcher's mound.

Let him not think about the overall interests of the team, as long as he does his duty well.

Leading the team on the pitch is not something he can do.

It's not just Hidezawa, in Kataoka's opinion, except for Chris, who is already injured and can't play.

Including all the third-year contestants, none of them had that kind of leadership quality.

Just as he was about to speak, one of them acted before him.

Miyuki, who was in the position of the catcher, did not wait for Kataoka's notice, so he took the initiative to call a timeout.

After the timeout, he ran straight up the pitcher's mound.

"I'm sorry senior, I'm worried about you. But please don't worry about me, I can stop me! ”

It seemed to be an apology, but Xiuze didn't hear the slightest apology.

And no matter how he listens to this, it feels like he is talking about him.

But Miyuki did apologize again, and even if he was uncomfortable listening to it, he had no way to refute it.

It's really strange, when did he need a junior junior brother to worry?

After the pause, Hidesawa completely untied his knot.

Even if he is the ace of the team, he cannot be responsible for everything.

Especially when pitching, he has to make sure he pitches first before he can talk about anything else.

Hidezawa unties the knot and returns to his state when he throws the ball.

But the runner at Musashi High School didn't plan to give him a chance to adjust.

Just as Xiuzela was about to pitch, the runner at third base went straight to the run.

Steal the base directly!

It's too bold.

The fans in the stands, including the players in attendance, felt incredible.

But that's what Musashi High School did.

Hidezawa, who was pitching, saw the actions of the Musashi High School baseball team players with the peripheral vision of his eyes, and he immediately hooked the ball.

Hidesawa guessed correctly, the runner of Musashi High School did not fight alone.

Their beaters have already put on a short strike posture.

Hit and run?

Forced points?

Although it is not clear, what kind of calculation Musashi High School originally played.

But they want to score, for sure.

Thankfully, Hidesawa forced his fingers to hook the ball before throwing the shot.

In this way, it is difficult to touch the ball no matter what the hitter does.

The same.

Faced with a pitch that suddenly changed the direction of the ball, Miyuki had a hard time catching it.

"Since you ran to the pitcher's mound and said such big things to me, you have to fight for yourself!"

Xiuzawa was not as worried as he thought.

I don't know why, but he is quite confident in this newcomer junior brother who has just been promoted.

The hitter wanted to touch the ball, but he didn't want the baseball to hit the home plate and bounce back.

"Smack..."

Miyuki, who was originally squatting, leaned over and grabbed the ball firmly in his glove.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, a figure flew in and swooped down on home plate.

Oops!

Seeing this scene, the Qingdao friends all felt their hearts flutter.

In such a short period of time, if Miyuki wants to stop it, I'm afraid it's impossible.

At the last moment, a glove suddenly appeared and stopped in front of the eyes of the Musashi High School runner.

"Smack!"

"Out!!"
