Chapter 61: The Old Fox's Calculation (Part 1)
The total score was 6:4, and the game came to the fifth game.
The Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team attacked first.
The game is quite thrilling here. Both teams are too strong in scoring ability, even if their pitchers are at the top level in the country, they still can't withstand the opponent's attacking power.
In this situation, anything can happen on the field at any time.
In the first half of the fifth inning, it was the turn of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team to hit the first base.
This is his third time on the field, and as a mature hitter, he has already studied the trump card of Qingdao High School clearly.
The players in the rest area of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team and the supporters in the stands are all looking forward to the good performance of Kiryu Osaka in this game. Chase back the lost score, or even overtake it.
They are quite confident in this.
Qingdao's ace Xiuze has pitched more than 70 pitches so far.
In the case of a pitcher, his first peak of strength has passed, and his pitching will only get weaker and weaker. On the contrary, the hitters of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team will become more and more familiar with his pitching.
Do you need to talk about the next result?
Even if the score is temporarily behind, the vast majority of supporters of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team are optimistic.
But no matter how optimistic they are, they are not as good as the score. So they are eagerly looking forward to their own beaters being able to score points as soon as possible.
It's just that the situation on the scene is not as optimistic as they thought. Xiuze, who has already thrown seventy balls, does not look tired at all. On the contrary, the momentum of his pitching is getting stronger and stronger.
The first baseball player of the Kiryu High School baseball team in Osaka was quickly solved.
"Ping!"
The moment the bat touched the baseball, a huge shock force came from the bat.
The expression on Kiryu's face, Osaka's first batter, became ugly.
How so?
How could this guy's ball power be regenerated like this?
No one could explain to the hitter, and the result was that the ball he hit was limp and weak.
Zhang Han, who was in the shortstop position, effortlessly picked up the ball into his glove and passed it to first base.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
His whole movement, as well as the connection of Tetsuya Yuuki on first base, is like a textbook, without the slightest superfluity.
"Standard!"
This point, even Takahiro Matsumoto, the supervisor of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, can't help but admire in his heart.
Although he was very dissatisfied with the current situation, he also had to admit that Kataoka's level of supervising and training players was getting better and better.
In fact, there have been a lot of good seedlings in Qingdao before, but they are unlucky, and the overall strength of the team is lacking, so Qingdao has not been able to enter Koshien.
Now, they have entered Koshien, and the characteristics that were not noticed by people have also come to the fore.
For example, the movements of the players, the players of the Seido High School baseball team are very resolute when they are on guard.
It's decisive and courageous.
Their movements are also beautiful, not the slightest is superfluous, all just right, as if they have been tempered a thousand times.
Maybe it shouldn't be said to be like, but it has really been tempered a lot. Takahiro Matsumoto is somewhat aware of the training of the Seido High School baseball team, which is better than that of Kiryu Osaka.
How long has Zhang Han been on the team? It's only been more than four months.
But even he, when he was on guard, was already able to do it to this extent. Not to mention, the Seido High School baseball team, the players in the other field positions.
You must know that Zhang Han has never been an infielder when he was in middle school, and his current infield guarding skills have all been practiced after entering Qingdao High School.
From one small clue one can see what is coming.
Xiuze can perform so well on the pitcher's hill without the help of these fielders on the Qingdao High School baseball team.
It is precisely because of such a strong backer behind him that Xiuze can be unscrupulous and give full play to his strength.
"Trying to beat them, trying to break through the defense of the Seongdo High School baseball team, maybe not as easy as we thought."
In Matsumoto Takahiro's heart, there was a vague bad premonition.
In this strike battle, if Hidesawa really plays at a super level, even if he is directly abolished after this game, it is impossible for the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team to accept.
"We have to find a way to get this troublesome guy out of the way as soon as possible..."
In the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team, there was no pitcher who could take Hidezawa's position. Even if they have a strong and stubborn defense, as long as the pitcher is not strong, they still can't keep the score.
Takahiro Matsumoto, who is as cunning as a fox, has already hit Hidesawa with his mind at this time.
And what about Hidesawa on the pitcher's mound? At this time, I don't know at all.
He was also fully immersed in his pitching form.
Xiuzawa felt that since entering Koshien, his whole state seemed to have awakened again.
With every ball, he can condense the strength of his whole body into pitching.
Every time he throws a ball, he can play his peak pitching state.
Today's game, although at the beginning, he was in a tough battle. The strength of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team is really strong beyond his expectations. Fortunately, now, he has adapted to the intensity of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.
I can do it!
Even in the face of Kiryu Osaka, who is known as the Space Team, Hidesawa was not timid at this time.
He thinks he's up to the challenge. Although he didn't dare to promise that he wouldn't lose a point, he dared to promise that the points lost on his side would never exceed that of the other party.
"Smack!"
"Out!!"
followed by the second bat, and there was no performance, and he was knocked out by Xiuze.
Two outs, no one on base.
Xiuze's performance is getting stronger and stronger, and everyone's eyes are on him at this moment.
At this moment, he is the king of the entire stadium!
"Hidezawa! Hidezawa!! ”
The supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team shouted Xiuze's name hoarsely, at least an octave higher than when they shouted Zhang Han before.
In such a warm atmosphere, the third batter of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team was directly knocked out with a strikeout.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!!"
"Good Ball !!"
"Strikeout!!
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
It's said to be a good thing, but Miyuki, who is in the position of a catcher, has a strange feeling in his heart.
Every hitter at Kiryu High School in Osaka is strong, and they may not be able to get a hit from Hidezawa, but if they want to touch the ball, it's still no problem.
Especially their third bat, which is the core hitter's position!
But just now, it was the third batter, and it was easily solved, and he didn't even touch the ball hair.
It feels like it's intentional.
