Chapter Eighty-Nine: Victory or Defeat? (1st Update)
In the bottom half of the ninth inning, two outs. The gap between the two sides is two points.
As the trailing side, Qingdao is now their last chance to attack.
A few minutes ago, almost everyone thought that the game was over!
The players of the Seido High School baseball team, no matter how capable they are, will not be able to turn the game around.
But now, their perception has changed a lot, if not a 180-degree turn.
The three-point gap turned into two points, and the most important thing is that the next two hitters on the court were super strong players who single-handedly forced the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team into the current predicament.
They have extraordinary bearing, they are powerful. They can give the fans infinite hope, but they can also bring great despair to the opponent.
They are Yuki and Zhang Han.
"Fifth baseman, first baseman, Tetsuya Yuuki."
When Tetsuya Yuuki with a cold face, when he stepped into the strike zone. The atmosphere of the whole stadium has changed dramatically.
At this moment, the smell of gunpowder remained in the air.
It was as if something big had erupted in the next moment.
The fans in the stands, at first reveling, but soon fell silent again.
Although those supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team are very eager to cheer for the players on the field and cheer for the wonderful performance of Dong Qingguo just now.
But they didn't want to miss the thrilling showdown in front of them. Such a classic moment is likely to be seen only once in a few years or even more than a decade. They were finally on the scene, and if they missed it, they would regret it for life.
Tens of thousands of fans didn't say anything and focused on watching the game.
It's not a big scene, but it's actually quite scary. But the people at the scene, whether they were fans or not, whether they were supporters of both teams, did not feel strange.
Because they have the same idea in their hearts, once they miss such a showdown, it will be a lifelong regret.
So they didn't dare to speak, for fear that their voices would affect the performance of the players on the field.
In front of the TV, the broadcast picture that people see no longer has a narration.
The camera is always on the pitcher and hitter.
Kotakejiro's body looked even more tired, and he had obviously reached the stage of the end of the strong crossbow.
What will the final outcome of today's game turn out to?
I'm really not sure.
Compared with the confusion of the pitcher, Yuki in the strike zone seems very calm.
No change in expression could be seen on his face. His eyes were firmly locked on his opponent. The bat in his hand was raised high, but his body was motionless.
"This kind of ball posture is so annoying!"
Shibata was speechless.
Although the other two of the three core fighters, namely Qing Guo and Zhang Han. Their performances were even more dazzling, but in comparison, Shibata would rather face those two guys than face an opponent like Yuuki.
Although their strategy against Dongqing and Zhang Han has never been successful, there is a way to do it? Whether it's what they've observed in this match, or what they've gathered before, they know exactly what the weaknesses of those two players are.
They have obvious strengths, and although they have few weaknesses, they also exist.
It's much easier to match the ball, just aim at the opponent's weak point and attack.
And Yuki in front of him, whether it is the information collected, or his position and habits, people can't see the slightest flaw.
This guy is like he has no weaknesses!
When you fight with such an opponent, you can only bet on the outcome, and there is no other way.
If you win, then you get the ball right. On the contrary, if the final result is lost, no matter how subtle the ball is, it will not be recognized.
This kind of thing sounds like a matter of course, but in fact it is very unreasonable.
Shibata felt like his brain was bigger, which was equivalent to fighting a top fighter without any references.
It's so hard!
Takejiro Ko on the pitcher's hill is not in good shape. In this case, how are they going to deal with this opponent?
Shibata thought a lot, but never came up with a real solution to the problem. In desperation, he could only gamble.
Since there is no way to judge the opponent's weaknesses, strengthen your own strengths and use the most tricky balls.
Come on!
The deciding goal?
Seeing Shibata's code, Kotakejiro felt that he didn't have much strength left, and half of it was taken away.
Originally, his physical strength was close to the red line, and he really didn't want to throw the kind of ball that consumed his physical strength. But there is no way now, after all, the opponent in front of him is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Whoosh!"
The white ball roared out, instantly spanning a distance of more than ten meters, and appeared in front of the beater.
Even when his physical strength was close to the red line, Kotakejiro still showed the quality of a top pitcher.
His pitching still looks so powerful, so flawless.
As the shooting partners who made this ball, Kotakejiro and Shibata were also quite satisfied with their ball.
They felt that this goal was no worse than the cooperation they had at their peak.
Even if this is the goal, Tetsu Yuki didn't swing the bat, so the goal they should achieve has been achieved.
With this ball as a base, their subsequent matching will be much easier.
It's just that Yuki didn't give them a chance to face off later. In the crisis of two outs, the game will end in case of a miss.
Tetsuya Yuuki resolutely waved the bat in his hand, and he didn't consider those messy factors at all.
He did it, and he was confident that he would be able to produce results.
"Ping!"
The bat hit the white ball hard.
The small white ball, like a laser, was shot out.
The players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team did not have time to react, and the white ball had already crossed the space of dozens of meters and landed on the ground in the outfield.
If it weren't for the baseball falling right in front of the outfielder, Yuuki might have used this ball to go to third base or even home plate.
But even with the outfielders right in front of them, the results didn't change much. Dong Qingguo was like a large bulldozer, directly pounced on the third base.
Even when it came to third base, he didn't want to stop, he wanted to rush back to home plate in one go and help the team score another point.
It was just the running instructor on the third base side, with his hands crossed over his chest, that gave him a timeout.
Dongqingguo was a little unwilling, but he still stopped honestly.
Today's Qingdao High School baseball team can't afford to gamble at all. Who let them be two out now? If they can take the risk to lock in the victory, they don't care, no matter how big the risk is.
But if you can't lock in the win, then there is no way to take this risk.
Two out, one or three bases!
It was Zhang Han's turn to strike.
