Chapter 65: Touch the Ball! (2-in-1)
Tanba's words greatly encouraged the players of the Seido High School baseball team.
Originally, everyone thought that although this senior's ball skills were good, his personality was not strong enough.
Not strong enough, maybe it is not a great weakness to deal with people. But in competitive games, especially in baseball, especially in positions like ace pitchers.
It feels like it's definitely not reliable enough.
Now their family's trump card, although I don't know what kind of stimulation it is, really stands up.
He really wanted to lead the Qingdao High School baseball team to win this game.
Superintendent Kataoka, who had already prepared for a substitution, saw Tanba, who was actively trying to pitch on the court, and the trusting eyes of the players around him.
Had to change my mind.
This scene, both for Tamba personally and for the entire Seido High School baseball team, is of great significance.
He can't intervene at this time and interrupt everyone's enthusiasm.
"Good, get ready to play!"
Since there is no way to interrupt, it can only be encouraged.
Fortunately, after watching Danbo's performance, Zhang Han had already been mentally prepared for the scene in front of him, so he didn't think much about it.
The game continued, and the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team attacked.
Taking advantage of the break in the game, it was not only Qingdao High School that adjusted the team, but also the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School.
And their adjustments, compared to Qingdao High School, are even stronger.
Just now, Narumi Cheng Gong said seriously to all the teammates around him.
"Two points, as long as everyone gets two more points!"
At this time, the prince of Tokyo had already felt the huge pressure brought to him by the Seido High School baseball team.
So he doesn't expect anything else, as long as his teammates help him score two points, he can guarantee the team victory.
"There's no need to be so much, just one point..."
The supervision of the friends of the country is more thorough than that of Cheng Gongming.
"Although Qingdao has experienced a change of pitchers, the first pitcher to come on the court did not share too much pressure for Danba. Now that Tambo has pitched well over 70, it's impossible for him to remain in form. Zhang Han has not pitched since the Kanto Tournament. Either he was injured or his pitching was somewhat restricted. No matter which one it is, the defense of the Seido High School baseball team is limited to our threat. As long as the time drags on and the game goes to overtime, the victory in today's game must belong to us! ”
The supervision of national friends belongs to the type that easily does not speak, and once it does, it is already good for everything.
Narumiya's words had already touched the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.
Now that there is a national friend supervisor coming forward to endorse it, the players feel that their blood is boiling. They can't wait to get on the court and win or lose with those guys on the Qingdao High School baseball team.
"Whew!!"
The players of the baseball team of Inagi Industrial High School almost roared and reached the strike zone.
Even Bai He, who has always been calm, roared so loudly that the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team were startled.
"These guys, they won't be in the rest area, what kind of medicine are they, right?"
The baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, as if they had taken the wrong script, made the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team very confused.
They really don't understand, how can these guys suddenly be full of energy?
What happened?
Tanba also noticed the change in Inagi's players, but he, like the rest of the Seido High School baseball team, was in a state of confusion.
He didn't understand, what happened to these guys on the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School?
"Ignore them and focus on pitching."
As the team's catcher, Miyuki can vaguely understand why the players of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team are so excited?
Halfway through the game, Narumi Narumiya kept pitching, no matter how fierce he was!
For the players of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team, there is also inner unease.
After all, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, even if it is Cheng Gongming, there is still a possibility of losing points in the later stage. Considering the existence of Zhang Han and Yuuki, this possibility is not small.
They are desperate to change the situation on the field, or rather, they have been forced to the point where they have to break the boat.
At this time, from the standpoint of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the most important thing for them is to be stable.
Regardless of those guys on the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, what are you going to do? As long as they can hold on to the score, they can win the number of outs smoothly.
The situation will only become more and more unfavorable for Daocheng Industry.
"Our next task is to snowball, and the most important thing in snowballing is stability."
Miyuki gave Tanba a high-drop curveball.
Although his newly learned finger fork ball also made the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team jealous.
But Tamba's biggest weapon is still his high-drop curveball.
The reason why Miyuki made such a secret signal is that he hopes that Senior Tanba can give full play to his greatest strengths and successfully solve the opponents on the field.
However, Miyuki soon discovered that his plan did not seem to succeed so easily.
Standing in the strike area, Bai He himself belongs to the relatively petite one. Such a hitter, his good ball belt range, is also much smaller than those who are tall.
This adds a certain degree of difficulty to the pitcher's possession of the ball.
Shirakawa didn't seem to be satisfied, he stuck his body tightly to the edge of the good ball belt, and even some of it might have been biased into the good team.
Such a position, if Tanba Koichiro, stubbornly use a high-drop curveball.
There is a high probability that it will be smashed directly on Bai He.
Yu Yuki subconsciously took a breath.
Shirakawa's body, like a nail, was firmly nailed there, not moving half a step.
At this time, he had obviously made up his mind. Even if it's a touch ball, he has to get on base.
This invisibly caused a lot of psychological pressure on the Qingdao High School baseball team, to be precise, to Tanbo on the pitcher's hill.
What to do?
Honestly let the high-drop curveball be sealed, and only use the ordinary straight ball and the knuckle ball that Tanba has just learned, and throw it?
Yuyuki barely thought about it, and put this idea aside.
Your own family knows your own affairs.
Koichiro Tanba is not bad at basic pitching, even if he doesn't use a high-drop curveball, he is also a very good pitcher.
But it's just excellent, and it's not qualified to compete with those top pitchers.
That kind of pitching is just a matter of dealing with ordinary teams, if it is used to deal with monsters like the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School.
I'm afraid I don't even know how I died......
Can't give up!
Abandon this option, and it basically does not exist.
But the problem at hand needs to be solved no matter what.
Miyuki thought for a moment and gave Tanba a code.
At the same time, he placed his gloves on the edge of the inner corner.
Tanba senior's ball control, although not as accurate as Kawakami and Zhang Han. However, it is also possible to distinguish between inner and outer corners.
He didn't believe that under this kind of position, Shirakawa had a way to shoot an inside corner?
Miyuki made up his mind.
On the pitcher's mound, Tambo did not question, but quickly agreed to Miyuki's approach and very decisively threw the ball into the inside corner.
Apparently he also didn't believe that a hitter could take an inside corner with his body close to the edge of the belt.
"Ping!"
Shirakawa spotted the flying baseball and suddenly stood up.
In this way, compared to when he was half-squatting, his body was a few centimeters away from the ball belt. The angle at which it was impossible to swing the stick was not completely impossible now.
"Ping!"
Shirakawa didn't let go of this ball and shot decisively. The baseball was knocked out and rebounded before the outfielders of the Seido High School baseball team could react.
"Smack!"
"Bad ball..."
Fortunately, the baseball deviated from the sideline of the court, almost twenty or thirty centimeters.
"Whew!"
Miyuki let out a long breath.
Tambo on the pitcher's mound also had a bit of jealousy in his eyes.
Obviously, this blow has a big impact on the Qingdao High School baseball team.
In any case, they never imagined that Bai He's striking skills would be so exquisite.
I'm afraid that even if it's compared to their team's senior Ryosuke Kominato, it's not much worse.
What to do?
The number of goals is leading, and the plight of the Qingdao High School baseball team is still unresolved.
Miyuki, who is a matchmaker, is faced with two choices at this time.
One is strong, the other is stronger.
Retreat, never appeared in the range of Miyuki's choices.
As far as the current game situation is concerned, if the Qingdao High School baseball team chooses to retreat, even if it is just a step back, the blow to their entire team is immeasurable.
As the saying goes, the brave wins.
When it comes to surrendering, sometimes you have to make such a choice.
Straight ball, or high drop curveball?
One is a strong chasing inside corner, and the other is a stronger chasing inside corner.
Miyuki chose the stronger one.
Although there is a certain probability that this will fall on Bai He's body.
But as long as Tenba can manipulate the angle well, it will be a little more inward than the angle he threw before.
This danger is not completely unavoidable.
Even if it can't be avoided completely, it can be avoided more than eighty or ninety.
For Miyuki, or for the current Seido High School baseball team, such a risk is acceptable.
It's worth it, too.
Whether they can fully control the tempo of this game will depend on the result of their next goal.
If it was before, with such a strong matching, Miyuki would be more or less hesitant.
He would take into account Tamba's personality and the risks of doing so.
But now, he has watched Tamba grow step by step and has all the qualities of an ace pitcher.
Therefore, he firmly believes that Koichiro Tanba will definitely be able to meet such a challenge.
He will definitely be able to overcome this hurdle and lead the Qingdao High School baseball team to greater glory.
"Whoosh!"
Tanba's actions were much more decisive than before.
After receiving the code, I didn't hesitate to cast it.
The baseball looked like it was coming at the White River.
Shirakawa saw the trajectory of the baseball flying, and a flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, he stepped out. In the process of stride, he moved his body back half a step.
The ball, which was difficult for him to observe, was now able to look very closely.
In the position of the catcher, Miyuki was very surprised when he saw this scene.
Shirakawa's current approach is completely different from Miyuki's original imagination.
He originally thought that the reason why Shirakawa would cling to the edge of the good ball belt was to seal away the curved ball with the height difference of Tenba.
Using the threat of the touch ball, he did not dare to shoot.
But now it seems, that's not the case at all.
It's as if they were waiting for the ball to fly over.
When the baseball was about to fall, Shirakawa made a decisive move and used the bat in his hand to knock the baseball out.
"Ping!"
The white baseball passed through the side of Masuko's body.
Even Masuko, in the face of this sudden baseball, only had time to stretch out his hand.
"Smack!"
"Safety!"
The ball behind the third baseman, Shirakawa ran to second base with all his might.
The sudden hit, as well as Tamba's high-drop curveball being knocked out, were very heavy blows to the Seido High School baseball team.
The friends looked at this scene with each other, not knowing what to say.
Miyuki was a little annoyed.
He thought it through, but at the same time he ignored an important issue.
That is, the sudden change of angle made the high-drop curveball of Senior Tanba lose its previous power.
So much so that it was targeted by the White River.
That's not going to work!
Power comes first, everything else is secondary.
Next, face the third baseman of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team.
Yoshizawa.
He is a third-year player, and as the core of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, his own strength is beyond doubt.
But after this guy stood in the strike zone, he made almost the same choices and actions as Bai He.
The body is close to the edge of the belt.
Miyuki played the code of a high-drop curveball this time, and he didn't let Tanba deliberately deviate from the angle.
Instead, let him feel at ease and boldly throw it over.
Tanba glanced back at Shirakawa at second base.
The guy honestly stood on the base bag at second base, didn't move a single step, and looked like a good baby.
But when I think of that guy, how did he trick himself in the strike zone before?
Tanba felt like he couldn't get out of the evil fire in his stomach.
This time he had learned his previous lesson, clasped his fingers tightly on the baseball, and threw a ball with all his might.
"Whoosh!"
The baseball looked like it was being smashed at the hitter.
Yoshida saw this scene, but he was not very alarmed. Obviously he's pretty sure that baseball will turn next.
So he's waiting patiently and ready to watch the ball.
This time, however, he miscalculated, and baseball looked showing no signs of turning a corner.
"Not good!"
Yoshida wanted to dodge.
The reason why they stick to the edge of the good ball belt is just to scare Danbo, but they don't really have to use their bodies to catch the ball.
The superintendent of the country will not give such an order, and the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School are not forced to do that now.
But just as he was about to dodge, Yoshizawa was suddenly surprised to find that his body couldn't move at all.
Maybe it's not that he can't move, but the baseball flies too fast.
By the time he sees it, sends the picture to his brain, and his brain responds, baseball has already come to him.
"Smack..."
The baseball was sturdy and smashed into Yoshida's forehead.
Even if he was wearing a strike helmet, he fainted directly.
