Chapter 72: The Year of Pink Eye (Second Update)
One person out, someone on third base!
Zhang Han burst into third base, and the chances of the Qingdao High School baseball team scoring increased again.
It doesn't even take a hit, as long as there's a good chance, like a short shot, or a ball to the outfield......
Zhang Han can go straight to home plate.
Takejiro Ko, who was on the pitcher's mound, was no longer as calm as before, his breathing began to become heavy, and his heartbeat began to become rapid.
"It's going to put pressure on us!"
Qingdao High School baseball team, they think that they have a high opinion of the strength of this team psychologically.
But it is clear that they still underestimate their opponents. The Qingdao High School baseball team was trickier and tougher than they thought.
Even their subordinate beaters acted very unexpectedly.
The runner is on third base, what will the batter do?
Whether it is an escort or a normal blow, there are too many possibilities.
"Eighth stick, Catcher, Miyuki."
The hitter on the Seido High School baseball team at this time is another first-year freshman on their team, Kazuya Miyuki.
Faced with this opponent, the pitcher of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team suddenly found that he had no bottom in his heart.
Yu Yuichi's performance in the blow is not as dazzling as Zhang Han, and it can even be said that the gap is not small.
But if you think that he can't strike because of this, you're very wrong. Although after entering Koshien, he did not perform too brightly.
However, in the Nishitokyo regional competition, this man scored important points several times.
His striking prowess should not be underestimated.
If it were just like this, Takejiro Ko wouldn't be like he is now, feeling like he has nowhere to bite a hedgehog.
What really unsettled him was that Yukiichi was also on the base, and that terrifying strike rate.
It's like having pink eye, and the batting rate has skyrocketed, and compared to the three core hitters of the Seido High School baseball team, it's not much inferior.
How can such an opponent not make people jealous?
Kotakejiro now looks at Miyuki standing in the strike zone, and that's how it feels. He felt that Miyuki's eyes were glowing scarlet.
Miyuki was excited, one might even say excited.
From Miyuki's body, Kotakejiro can't see that he has any pressure, this person only has motivation, the motivation to hit the ball out.
"What kind of weirdos are these?"
Kotakejiro is very confident in his instincts.
He believed what he saw, and Yukiichi was indeed not stressed. This first-year newcomer is thinking about how to get his ball out.
In the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team, Superintendent Kataoka gave a code to the players on the field.
At this point, Miyuki saw it, and Kotakejiro also saw it.
Although he didn't understand the code of the Qingdao overseer, what did it mean? But in general, you can guess that it should be one of the ways of attack that you guessed before.
The biggest possibility is that it is still a short shot!
This way, the hope of scoring is the greatest.
The Qingdao High School baseball team is desperate to get a point back, and they're going to do whatever it takes to get it back.
The difference between three points and two points may seem like only one point, but they are actually two completely different concepts.
The three-point gap represents two offensive opportunities to tie the score. Two points, maybe one offensive chance is enough.
When the game has reached the 6th and 7th innings, the significance of this point is several times greater.
But Miyuki Kazuya doesn't seem to have the intention of obeying his own supervision orders at all.
Kataoka in the rest area, although he didn't burst into flames, the expression on his face was still very stern, and he looked like he was going to eat people.
The current newcomer is too good! He didn't even listen to the orders of the overseer, and he insisted on going his own way, wanting to face off head-on.
Yukiichi also put on a long-fight posture, looking like he would never die.
In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, everyone was very anxious, like ants on a hot pot.
These two performances made Kotakejiro more convinced of his guesses, and Kataoka wanted to play short and keep this point. Although it may not be able to keep it, the strategy of forcing points in short games is definitely the best hope for success.
It's a pity that the beater on the field is arrogant and unwilling to accept orders, and he prefers to face it head-on.
In fact, this is also very understandable, who made the teenager famous. Although it is said that Yu Xing's fame is not as loud as Zhang Hanlai. But he is also the main catcher of the first grade, and his importance to the team is no less than that of Zhang Han.
Such a core player has performed well, and he is a first-year newcomer, so he can't float if he doesn't want to.
"It's a pity boy, you're still too tender!"
Miyuki Kazuya's striking strength makes Kotakejiro jealous, but he is not helpless.
Especially when he knows that the opponent will not use short shots, Kotakejiro is even more confident in his next pitch.
Kotakejiro put on a posture to pitch the ball, and Zhang Han, who was originally on third base, stepped on the ground with one foot, changed his center of gravity, and rushed to home plate.
"Ran!"
Shibata, a catcher at Kiryu High School in Osaka, hurriedly gave a code to pitcher Kotakejiro, but Kotakejiro had already used enough strength at this time, and it was too late to change the direction of the ball.
At this time, he can only hope that Miyuki will not hit the ball!
But soon, Kotakejiro found out that he was too wishful thinking, and Miyukichi didn't have a head-to-head duel at all.
He suddenly changed to a short fight!
How can it be?
Kotakejiro throws a change ball, and if he had known that Miyuki would use a short shot, he would have said that he would not use a change ball.
It is true that there is an angle change in the changing ball, but the speed and power of the ball are not comparable to that of a straight ball.
It's easy to hit this kind of ball in a short shot!
"Ping!"
Sure enough, the little white ball was knocked out.
Although this short plan is not very pretty, the landing point is not too good.
But he couldn't stand Zhang Han's action early, and before the baseball was passed back, Zhang Han stepped on the home plate first.
"Safety!"
The Qingdao High School baseball team, three middle and lower players, was stunned to connect a good offense and successfully scored a point.
The score on the field became ten to eight, and the difference was reduced to two points.
At this time, the expressions on the faces of the players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team were as ugly as they were.
The score was ten to eight, and the game entered the seventh inning.
Although one point was recovered, the situation of the Qingdao High School team was not too decadent.
Judging from the score, they still have a good chance of taking down the Cosmos team.
Of course, before that, it depends on whether the pitcher they just changed to the court can withstand the pressure of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.
