At the beginning of the game, Seido High School baseball attacked first.

Before going on the court, Superintendent Kataoka called all the players together according to his usual habits.

"The opponent's pitcher is used to using a strong straight ball. I can't see much of anything useful on video, but his ball speed should only be close to 140, which is not yet surpassed. Don't care about changing the ball, aim for a straight ball to hit. ”

The ball speed is 140 km/h.

Even in high school, this ball speed is very good, and it is definitely a fast ball.

The reason why Tamada High School was able to easily suppress their opponents and win the first game was before. A big reason for this is because of the pitching of their ace No. 1 Aikawa.

Their opponents simply couldn't hit such a fast ball, and even if they barely touched it, it would be difficult to get a hit.

In this way, Yutian High School can concentrate on attacking without worrying about their garrison.

Kataoka guessed that Tamada High School probably wanted to use the same routine to deal with Aomichi.

But that kind of routine, there is no problem in dealing with Yutian Animal Husbandry's previous opponents, but if you want to deal with the Qingdao High School baseball team, I'm afraid it's a bit whimsical.

It's just a 140 km straight ball.

If there are no other characteristics, just in terms of this ball speed, if you want to deal with the beaters of the Qingdao High School baseball team, you are simply looking for your own death!

Even in the first two years of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the results were not very good. But they have the signboard of a wealthy family, and the players they recruit are still very good seedlings in the middle school era.

Plus the training of the Seido High School baseball team.

Not to mention these players who have been promoted to the first army, even if they are players from the second army, an ordinary straight ball of 140 kilometers will never be difficult for them.

Why wasn't Zhang Han's previous pitch favored?

It's because it's hard for him to improve his ball speed, he's been almost a year and his ball speed hasn't improved much.

In the case that Zhang Han's pitching has no other characteristics, the coaching staff of the Qingdao High School baseball team will make a judgment that there is no development potential.

Superintendent Kataoka is so harsh on Aomichi's own pitchers, let alone on his opponents.

Kataoka believed in the strength of his disciples, and he believed that they would be able to blast the ball 140 kilometers away.

Then it's time to witness this scene.

The first to stand in the strike zone is still Kurachi.

Although he is not known for his strikers, what he stands out for is his speed.

But that doesn't mean that his blow won't work.

At least against a pitcher of Aikawa's ball speed, Kuramochi thinks he is quite sure.

Approaching 140 km, that is, less than that.

This kind of ball speed, although a bit tricky, is not beyond the scope of Uncle Ben's ability.

Kuramochi looked at Aikawa with interest, waiting to hit the ball.

But I have to say that the other party is worthy of being an agricultural college, and his figure is really burly.

He is 186 centimeters tall and weighs a terrifying 90 kilograms, which is a model of physical strength.

Looking at it this way, Aikawa can only throw the ball for 140 kilometers, which doesn't seem so unacceptable.

It's even a little slow.

Just when Kuramochi wanted to get into trouble, the white ball whistled in.

It's not extremely fast, but it's intimidating.

The trajectory of the baseball flying in, Kuramochi can see it very clearly.

The location is also excellent, although it is not in the center, it is not even five centimeters away from the center.

If he lets go of such a ball, it seems a little unreasonable.

Seeing the flying baseball, Kuramochi decisively waved the bat in his hand.

"Ping!"

The moment the bat touched the baseball, Kuramochi's entire face changed. The position of his hands felt as if they were about to crack.

How can it be so fierce?

Kuramochi couldn't believe it, but he didn't want to think about it, the small ball he hit had already bounced out.

The little ball, like an old cow peeing, fluttered and leisurely, without any strength at all.

It only flew about 20 meters before it fell.

Even with the incredible speed of the position, he couldn't get to first base with a ball so close.

"Smack!"

"Out!!"

As the first baton of the offensive engine of the Seido High School baseball team, Kuramochi was easily solved.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are as if they have been beaten in the head, and they are completely in a state of confusion.

Who can tell them what just happened?

As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.

Although Kuramochi reminded him, there was nothing good for Ryosuke Kominato to do with this kind of pure power-type pitching.

It's a little embarrassing to use a trick to entangle.

The other party is also a grassroots, and if Qing Dao does everything to deal with such an opponent, it can't be said......

When two teams play a match, if the difference in strength is huge, although it is said that going all out is the greatest respect for the opponent.

But it can't really be 100 to 0.

It's like table tennis, even if the strength is completely above the opponent. Eleven-to-zero results are not usually possible.

Anyway, it will give a point or two.

It's the same with baseball, Qingdao High School plays with this kind of grassroots team, and it has the baggage of a giant. Unless they are forced to rush, they must face each other squarely.

As a result, Ryosuke Kominato hit the infield rebound ball.

The white ball was caught by the shortstop of Tamada Animal Husbandry, and then it was passed to first base.

"Out!"

The first and second baseball teams of Qingdao High School suffered Waterloo one after another.

has been banned and out.

In this way, the atmosphere of the entire Seido High School baseball team has become very subtle.

They haven't played a competitive match for six months, although they've been doing practice and are playing practice matches to stay in shape.

But why do they suddenly feel like they're not very good at playing official games?

An opponent like Yutian High School, if he played a practice match against Qingdao, the Qingdao army would not play.

They belonged to the training objects of the Second Army.

And even the second army of Qingdao has the strength of the top 16 in Tokyo.

Let the Qingdao Second Army form a separate team to play in the Tokyo Tournament, as long as it doesn't run into a particularly tricky object. Reaching the round of 16 is still assured, and with luck, I can even touch the threshold of the quarterfinals.

In this way, it stands to reason that the opponent who can't even win the second army is now playing them around.

The first and second baseballs of the Qingdao High School baseball team were solved in this way.

Two outs, no one on base.

The next hitter on the field is the mustachioed Jun Izashaki.

Before going on the field, the mustachioed senior severely criticized the first and second bats, thinking that they were too careless. I thought that the opponent was not strong, so I was not able to show all my strength.

"It's an important first game, so no matter what the results we've been before, we're going to give it our all and make sure we win the race first."

Senior Mustache said that as the most unexpected player in Qingdao, he has also played against many great pitchers before, and has a very good performance.

Everyone is still looking forward to his blow.

The result!

At the beginning, Jun Izashaki was really fierce, blasting two throw-ins in a row.

The ball flies far away, and if it lands in bounds, it can basically be a long hit.

However, in the rest area, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are not very optimistic.

Miyuki frowned and muttered in a low voice.

"Two out!"

It turned out that unconsciously, Jun Izaki had been chased by his opponent.

Next, a ball that suddenly fell made Izashaki's swing miss.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

"Strikeout!!"

At the beginning of the competition, Yutian Animal Husbandry High School, which everyone was not optimistic about, was taken aback.

They faced the Seido High School baseball team, which is known as the No. 1 line in the country, and let their starters start with three bats and three ups.

In the stands, don't look at the few people who come to cheer, but the momentum is not lost at all.

In a cheer, the game came to the second game.

The first to stand in the strike zone was Zhang Han, the fourth baseman of the Qingdao High School baseball team today.

Before he came on the field, he saw that Tambo was changing his equipment and said with a smile.

"I'm not going to let the seniors' pitches go to waste."

Just now, Tanba scored two strikeouts in succession, only to be knocked out by the third batter from Yutian Animal Husbandry High School.

However, it didn't hit the heart of the ball, and the baseball that flew out was quickly stopped by the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, and then passed to first base.

Because of Tanba's wonderful performance, at the beginning of the game, although Qingdao did not score points, he did not lose in terms of momentum.

Next, it's up to them to see the results of their offense.
