"In the Nishi-Tokyo finals, the Seido High School baseball team will play against the Yakushi High School baseball team, and it starts now!"

Today's game was hotter than every day before, and there were more spectators than every day......

Originally, people thought that the pinnacle matchup between the Qingdao High School baseball team and the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team was already the most eye-catching game.

Although it is the final today, the appeal of the Yakushi High School baseball team cannot be compared to Inagi Industry in any way.

So there should be fewer viewers.

No one thought that it would not be like that at all.

In today's game, the stands on both sides of the entire Jingu Stadium have been filled with fans, and the person in charge of the stadium has to have people open the stands in the outfield.

Even the stands in the outfield were filled with a lot of people.

"So many fans?"

Akiko Owada, a beautiful reporter for Baseball Kingdom Magazine, looked at the lively atmosphere of the scene and felt incredibly emotional.

Even though Fujifu's predecessors had given her a vaccination, she still felt a little incredulous.

Even if it's a professional game, you can't have so many spectators, right?

"Of course not!"

Hearing Owada Akiko's question, Fujio answered in the affirmative.

"Professional games, you can't watch them if you want to, you need to buy tickets. Unlike today's game, which was completely open-ended ......"

In fact, the organizers did not suffer a loss, and the TV station broadcast live, and the money from advertising alone sold a lot.

There were so many fans coming to cheer on the stadium, plus the fans who were in front of the TV.

This model may be more successful than the revenue from selling tickets.

Fujio thought.

Of course, it's not just him, a well-known journalist, who has noticed this.

There are many businessmen, especially those who do sports brands, who are keenly aware of the strong smell of money.

"This advertisement is very good!"

"There is no chance this year, and when we wait until next year, we can take the money to sponsor it. I don't think it's necessarily worse than Koshien's sponsorship. ”

The price to pay for placing an ad from Koshien is staggering.

In contrast, the Nishitokyo tournament is a simple sponsorship, which is still relatively easy.

"The game starts, the one who takes the lead in attacking. It is the Seido High School baseball team. ”

The Seido High School baseball team attacked first, and their first hitter to play was Kuramochi.

Although Kuramoto's performance during this period of time has been unsatisfactory, he himself is very worried about whether his current form will be replaced?

But in reality, his position in the team is very secure.

Qingdao High School's baseball team really doesn't have a suitable shortstop for the time being. Even if his performance is a little worse when he is attacking, it is still flawed.

The starting pitcher of the Yakushi High School baseball team is not the original third-year, nor is it their real ace Shunhei Sanada.

Just as Kataoka had guessed, with Sanada's pitching characteristics, it would be difficult for him to finish a game.

Don't look at Cheng Gong Ming, a sophomore monster pitcher, who can finish a nine-inning game, and even when it comes to the extra game, he can also pitch vigorously.

In fact, a high school pitcher like him is rare.

I dare not say 100%, more than 90% of pitchers, there is no way to shoot a whole game.

Especially for an explosive pitcher like Zhang Han, his peak state is only three or four innings, at most four or five innings.

Once the number of balls is more, not to mention whether the body can hold it, the pitching state will also be greatly affected.

The pitch will be slower and the ball will become dispensable......

Is it okay to stick to the end of the vote?

Theoretically, of course, but you can't even match your late pitching to the bench, so why stay on the pitcher's mound?

This time, the starting pitcher sent by the Yakushi High School baseball team was their first-year player, Jew Mishima.

When I saw the list, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were already confused.

Mishima is not a nobody, he was already a star player when he was in junior high school, and he entered the Yakushi High School baseball team because their team performed well, and Mishima became famous.

In the entire western Tokyo area, you might be able to count him with your fingers crossed.

Although it is not as good as their team's thunder city, his name is also registered in the small book of the three giants in western Tokyo.

Such a star player, such a Seido High School baseball team thinks he knows his players very well.

Actually got on the pitcher's mound?

How can the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team not be curious?

"Is Mishima also a pitcher?"

They didn't have any mental preparation before, okay?

Zhang Han nodded, "When I was in junior high school, this guy was the pitcher and fourth baseman in the team!" But I thought he would give up being a pitcher when he entered high school......"

Unexpectedly, the other party actually regarded this trick as a killer move.

It looks very rough and doesn't have any patterns.

But because of this, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team didn't think of it at all.

"What a surprise!"

In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, there are already friends who are displeased.

They're not happy, they're very unhappy.

They never thought that the people of the pharmacist high school baseball team would play such a hand.

"The other party is also very bold!"

Miyuki saw something different.

He said that the Yakushi High School baseball team was very bold, but it was not groundless.

After all, it takes a lot of courage to send a first-year player who doesn't have any previous high school pitching experience in the West Tokyo finals.

Originally, in the eyes of the friends of the Seido High School baseball team, Superintendent Kataoka was already very bold in entrusting two first-year pitchers with important responsibilities under such circumstances.

But compared to the baseball team of other pharmacist high schools, what is their risk?

Whether it's Akira Tsukiya or Eijun Sawamura. These two first-year rookie pitchers have played in previous games and have performed well.

In that case, put them on the pitcher's mound, because they don't get too nervous because of their previous game experience.

What about the pharmacist high school baseball team, giving a guy who didn't have any previous experience to start.

If Mishima's mental quality is a little worse, there will be a little mistake in the next game.

With the strength of the Seido High School baseball team, it is very possible to solve the battle directly in the first game.

After all, the title of the strongest line in the country is no joke.

"A complete newcomer?"

Kuramochi looked at the opponent in front of him, and kept estimating in his heart, what kind of ball the opponent would throw?

Because there was no information before, he didn't know anything about what kind of ball Mishima could throw.

It needs to be observed from the beginning.

However, there are some things that can still be seen somewhat before seeing Mishima's real pitching.

For example, the opponent's ball speed and ball power should not be bad.

Although Mishima is not very tall, it is definitely not short either. The figure looks a little bloated, but this just shows that the other party's strength is not weak.

"Whoosh!"

While Kuramochi was analyzing, Mishima threw his first ball.

The speed of the baseball was fast, and in the blink of an eye it was above home plate.

Kuramori's eyes stared at the flying baseball without blinking, and there was no ripple on his face.

Really......

Not far from what he had guessed, the ball was fast and it looked heavy.

If his guess is correct, the opponent should also be an explosive pitcher, who can instantly press his own power on the fingertips of the pitcher.

It's just that he didn't do a good job.

If Zhang Han's completion is one hundred percent, he can perfectly explode all the strength in his body.

Gu Xiao can do almost eighty or ninety percent, and if he can be like Zhang Han, maybe he can also throw a light-speed ball.

As for Mishima Jew, the energy he can burst out is about 60 percent.

It's faster than a normal straight ball, but that's relative to a normal straight ball.

Compared with Zhang Han's ball speed, and compared with the ball speed they usually practice batting.

It's still a long way off......

"You can handle it!"

In Kurachi's heart, there was an instant judgment.

Speaking of which, Mishima's pitching is actually not bad.

It's just that compared to the opponents that the Qingdao High School baseball team has encountered before, such as Narumiya Ming of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, Yang Sunsin of Mingchuan School Park, Chang Xuming of Sakurasawa High School, and so on.

Mishima's pitching is neither unusual nor intimidating.

Kurachi, who has been playing against those pitchers, sees such a pitch, it is like seeing a gift package sent to the door by God.

Whatever he says, he can't let it go.

On the second ball, Kuramochi made a decisive shot.

"Do you think you'll be able to hit the ball of genius? Stop daydreaming! ”

The Mishima boy saw Kuramochi's plan, and this guy was decisive enough, and directly changed the original ball path, ready to throw the ball outside the good ball belt.

I want to fight, but there is no door.

"Yes, Bad Ball!"

In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, Zhang Han's eyes widened.

He has a good eye and can see details that other friends have not noticed. It's like this ball, he has already predicted from Mishima's actions, what does Mishima want to do?

At the same time, the bat in his hand has also been ......

Is it too late?

Mishima on the pitcher's mound, the excitement on his face was about to overflow.

"That's what about the Seido High School baseball team? It's not like I've been tricked by this day. ”

The smile on Mishima's face can be seen by anyone.

In good conscience, this guy with a somewhat similar personality to Sawamura Eijun is not very suitable for the role of pitcher.

He's so unsettled.

It's like playing poker, when you get a good hand, you can see the expression on your face at a glance. What he wants to do, the opponent knows.

It doesn't matter when the hand is strong......

But you can't always be good and have that good luck.

It's like Mishima now.

Once he shows his flaws, the consequences are very dangerous.

"Ping!"

Just when Mishima thought that Kuramochi's ironclad swing would miss, Kuramochi touched the ball.

Mishima, who finished pitching, looked up just in time to see this scene.

Kuramochi changed from a normal hit to a short shot, and he hit the bad ball in the direction of third base.

"Third base!"

Mishima, who came back to his senses, hurriedly greeted his teammates.

But where is the time?

How can the Yakushi High School baseball team, which is not guarded by the front, be able to block the cheetah of the Qingdao High School baseball team?

Kurachi's two long legs, as if stepping on the wind, kept accelerating.

By the time Thunder picked up the ball and passed it, Kuramochi was infinitely close to first base.

"Smack!"

"Safety!"

Before the baseball reached first base, Kuramochi stepped on the first base pack one step ahead.

"If you want to deal with newcomers, you have to use the same methods as newcomers."

Kuramochi didn't intend to go head-on at the beginning, but instead took advantage of Mishima's weakness to attack.

No one is out, there is someone on first base.

The supporters of the Seido High School baseball team in the stands also became lively at this time.

"It's worthy of a cheetah, this speed is really speechless."

"When I was facing Kurachi, I didn't even guard in front of the drive, I really admire these guys on the baseball team of Yakushi High School."

Die-hard supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team will not be stingy with praise at this time.

They all hate to be able to praise the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team to the sky, so that these guys from the Yakushi High School baseball team can take a good look at what is called a giant?

Don't think that you are lucky to eliminate the three high schools of the city university, and you are lucky to reach the finals, what can you do?

The fans are crazy.

In the rest area of the Yakushi High School baseball team, Thunder Zang glanced thoughtfully at Kuramachi on first base.

In fact, he knew before that the players of the Seido High School baseball team sometimes don't wait for Kataoka's orders at all.

Instead, judge the situation for yourself and choose whether to attack or not.

However, he originally thought that only a few people, such as Zhang Han and Yui, had such privileges.

After all, not every player can see the changes on the court and find the right time to attack.

The vast majority of their players should still have to wait for orders before they can take action.

Especially when the team has problems.

For example, now, facing an opponent they didn't expect before, the Seido High School baseball team should wait for the superintendent's instructions.

Or observe it first, or dwell on it......

This is all more orthodox.

But the Seido High School baseball players did not do that, but looked for opportunities on their own and judged the timing by themselves.

The most important thing is that the player on the court is not the top star player of the Seido High School baseball team.

Even among the nine main players in the Qingdao First Army, Yokazu Kuramochi did not rank in the top five.

is such a player, who can also decide how to act according to the situation on the field?

Such a high degree of freedom also means that these players on the field of the Qingdao High School baseball team are playing with their heads.

"Maybe the team in front of us is even more difficult to deal with than we imagined......"

One of the three giants of West Tokyo, the overlord of the Kanto Convention, and the most offensive team in the country.

There are countless titles that shine on the head of the Seido High School baseball team.

Of course, the Yakushi High School baseball team was mentally prepared before playing against the Seido High School baseball team.

In addition, they have seen the strength of the Qingdao High School baseball team before, and they are very well prepared.

Bang Lei Zang originally thought that although the difference in strength between the two sides was not small, they were not completely without opportunities. As long as it works well, there is still a lot of room for operation.

But now, after really seeing the strength of the Qingdao High School baseball team, Boom found that things didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined.

Don't look at the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, when they played against the Baseball Team of Daocheng Industrial High School, they were pressed very badly by Narumiya.

It could almost be said that there was not much to fight back.

But that doesn't mean that the players on the Seido High School baseball team aren't strong enough. It's just that the opponents in their last game were too strong, and their strength was not brought into play.

When the opponent was replaced by the Yakushi High School baseball team, the entire state of the Seido High School baseball team immediately changed dramatically.

Some of the players who were not very conspicuous are now dazzling.

For example, this warehouse holder who has just stood on the base bag.

Although Mishima stared at him viciously, it was not able to scare the contestant in the slightest.

Instead, when Mishima stopped looking at Kuramochi and was ready to start pitching.

Kura is moving!

He was like the wind under his feet, and the speed of the whole person soared to the extreme in an instant.

Thunderhide's eyes widened in surprise.

Kuramochi is fast, but not to the point of exceeding human limits. Even among high school students, he is not alone.

There are always some runners who can be compared to him, such as Carl Ross of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School.

But when it comes to agility, when it comes to the cleanliness of the start.

Even Carl Rose of the baseball team of Inagi Industrial High School has no way to compare with him.

Fast!

It's almost to the extreme.

In the blink of an eye, his whole body was already running out.

By the time people reacted, Kuramochi had already run out more than ten meters.

"Don't look down on people!"

The catcher of the Yakushi High School baseball team who caught the ball had already noticed Kuramochi's movements, and he was ready early in the morning, and after receiving the ball, he stood up directly and passed the ball to second base.

His movements are not unpleasant, and neither are his passes.

The cooperation of the shortstops is also good.

A few months ago, it was a scattered pharmacist high school baseball team, but in the past few months, there have been reborn changes.

From the catcher catching the ball and passing the ball to the shortstop holding the ball, it didn't even take two seconds in total.

This kind of speed, even if it is placed in a giant team, is qualified.

Merely......

Just the speed that is qualified in the big team, there is no way to stop the advancing figure.

By the time the baseball reached the shortstop glove, a figure had already pounced in advance, and after the figure fell, his palm pressed against the base bag at second base.

The linesman did not hesitate and gave the verdict directly.

"Safety!"

No one is out, there is someone on second base!

When I arrived at the warehouse on the base bag, the whole person seemed to glow.

The cheetah of the Qingdao High School baseball team has truly been resurrected.
