Sakurasawa High School's first baseman must not be slow to react.

Under the leadership of their ace, Sakurasawa has bid farewell to the tension at the beginning of the game, and gradually became familiar with the method of playing against the Seido High School baseball team.

The strength of the opponent is very strong.

But this is not the most scary, for the players of Sakurasawa High School, the first problem they have to solve is their own mentality.

They don't care how powerful the other person is. They just need to be themselves and play to their strengths.

With your own pitcher as the core, you will fight against the players of the Seido High School baseball team.

Feel at ease to do your own work.

Even the guy who had pitched Armin before, in fact, the ball he played was not very good.

As long as they can intercept the ball, they still have a high probability of stopping the opponent.

With such awareness and confidence, the first baseman of Sakurasawa High School acted quickly.

He looked at the baseball rolling over and over again.

Can't be nervous!

Be sure to stop the ball firmly and pass it back to first base.

Although their basic skills are not in place, as a public school, and it is a public school that mainly focuses on higher education, there is no problem with the IQ of their players.

They have rehearsed such a situation.

Sakurazawa's first baseman who ran out believes that at this time, there must be a friend who has already run to first base.

So he only needs to pass the ball back to stop this Qingdao first stick that is rushing over.

Sakurasawa has a good idea and he does it thoroughly.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, especially this first base, were inevitably too fast.

Before he could catch up with the ball, a blue figure beside him had already rushed over.

So fast!

That kind of speed, like a sprinter, has a terrifying explosive power.

This kind of explosiveness, in the eyes of the players of Sakurasawa High School, is even something they can't understand.

Wait for the first baseman of Sakurasawa High School to pick up the ball, turn around, and prepare to pass.

He was surprised to find that he seemed to be doing useless work.

That guy had already run to first base with ease.

"Safety..."

How could it be so fast?

Although I had such a premonition in my heart, Sakurazawa, who witnessed all this, still felt unacceptable.

He ran more than ten meters, and the opponent had already run from home plate to first base.

The speed is almost twice as fast as his.

Even if there is a gap between their physical fitness, it will not be so big.

In the stands.

Almost all the supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team are calling out the name of Qingdao on the one hand.

In today's game, Sakurasawa High School's performance was very unexpected for them.

Fortunately, the foundation of the Qingdao High School baseball team is here, and it will not be messed up because of the dark horse team that suddenly appeared.

They quickly stabilized the situation, and looking at this posture, it is logical to win this game.

They cheered at this time, which can be regarded as celebrating the team in advance.

Fujio, a senior reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine, nodded his head after watching this matchup.

The Qingdao High School baseball team is really smart.

In the face of this kind of dark horse team that suddenly appeared, if it plays completely according to the rhythm of the other party, even if the Qingdao High School baseball team can win the final victory, it will inevitably take a lot of twists and turns.

So they don't have to do that at all.

As long as the gap between the basic abilities of the two teams is shown, the result of the game is almost self-evident.

"Sakurasawa played well, but it's a pity."

It's a pity that the opponent they encountered was the Seido High School baseball team, which not only has the ability to turn the tide.

At the same time, it has its own unique style.

This is a team that has formed its own style, once the Seongdo High School baseball team is back to its own rhythm.

Even Inagi Industrial, which won the championship in Koshien Field, did not have any advantage against the Seido High School baseball team.

Not to mention, the previously unknown dark horse Sakurazawa.

The rest of the race was almost exactly as Fujifu had predicted.

Next to stand in the strike zone is the second baseman of the Seido High School baseball team, Ryosuke Kominato.

Don't look at Senior Minato's stature is not very tall, but his fame outside is no less than a few star players of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

When he stepped into the strike zone, the Sakurasawa athlete also felt the immense pressure.

This pressure made them feel shortness of breath even in their breath.

Originally, they had already adapted to the rhythm of the game against the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Now, how has it changed?

The already strong Seido High School baseball team seems to have become stronger and more unpredictable at this time.

No one knows, what the team is going to do next?

But the players of Sakurasawa High School can feel that the Seido High School baseball team has brought them that kind of huge momentum that almost makes them feel suffocated.

is different from the hanging lang dang at the beginning, Qingdao at this time has become completely serious.

The position at first base is eager to move forward.

Although Chang Xuming knew in his heart that with his own style and his own passing speed, there was no way to get the position at all.

At this time, he should not be affected by any external objects, and should concentrate on fighting against the fighters in the strike zone.

But this kind of thing is easier said than done, how can it be so simple?

Any student who has learned to think independently knows that he should study hard every day.

This will be of great benefit to him in the future.

But who can resist the temptation to play with their peers? Who has been able to withstand the temptation of mobile computer games?

It's the same thing.

No matter how much Chang Xuming admonishes himself, he shouldn't be distracted, and he should concentrate on fighting the fighter.

It was inevitable that he would devote some of his attention to Kurachi.

It's this man who broke into the base bag before and returned to home plate.

Sakurasawa High School, can it withstand such a blow?

Chang Xuming, I don't know.

It was in this atmosphere that he finally threw his first goal.

Ryosuke Kominato's face had a cold smile.

How much did the other party look down on him, and even looked at Kurachi on the base bag three times when he was dueling with him.

In this way, even a fool can guess the approximate direction of your pitch.

Exterior angle!

Although I am not sure about the specific changes in baseball, I don't know where baseball will turn.

But the general location can still be estimated.

Just shorten the process of swinging the bat, and don't force the baseball to fly.

It's not a difficult thing to stop the ball.

"Ping!"

The baseball that was touched rolled to third base.

Seeing this scene, his pupils widened.

He knows it's a big deal!

Chang Xuming, who was able to roughly control the direction in which the baseball was hit, was not able to perfectly control the ball on the first base side this time.

The baseball flew to third base.

What does this portend?

This indicates that the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team are likely to have thoroughly studied the routine of Chang Xuming's pitching.

Chang Xuming's butterfly ball is very likely to have been cracked to some extent.

If this is really the case, then there is only one option left for Sakurasawa High School.

Disarm and surrender.

Other than that, they have no other way to go.

"Could it be a coincidence?"

The consequences were so serious, so serious that they couldn't even imagine it.

As if evasive, he thought of another possibility.

Believe in yourself, Amin!

He looked at his trump card with expectant eyes.

Chang Xuming's face didn't show much expression.

I watched Kuramochi cross second base to third base.

watched Ryo Kominato go to first base.

One person is out, one or three bases are available.

Although the baseball had just passed through the guard of the third baseman, neither Kuramochi nor Ryosuke Kominato chose to move on.

It's honest, staying on the base.

This scene made Owada Akiko, a rookie reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine, a little incomprehensible.

"You can move on just now, right? It should be able to help Qingdao score a point. ”

Although Ryosuke Kominato said that there are some risks if he moves forward, it is not completely impossible.

Akiko Owada was strange because she had heard her seniors say that the most important style of the Seido High School baseball team was to aggressively aim for the next baseball.

What is going on with the Seongdo High School baseball team now, could it be that the opponent is too weak, so they have changed their style?

"What you see is only the surface, the two players of the Seido High School baseball team, the reason why they chose this way is because they have grasped a weakness of Sakurasawa High School."

This weakness is that there is no way to contain it.

In the rest area of Sakurasawa High School.

The man known as the professor looked at the players fighting on the court, and his eyes moistened.

He knows very well what it means for the players of the Seido High School baseball team to deliberately stay on the baseball?

Sakurasawa High School's garrison is not good.

This weakness becomes especially noticeable when there are people on the baseball.

Another point, which is also very fatal, is that their ace pitcher, in fact, has no way to use the authentic containment ball.

Butterfly balls are too demanding for the touch of the pitcher's fingers.

Once you switch to a straight ball, it will take a few balls to regain the feeling of a butterfly ball.

And this is invisibly, it is equivalent to giving the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team a chance to strike.

"Play your own style, just do it!"

The difference in strength between the two sides is so big, and the score is behind, Superintendent Kikukawa thinks that they have no chance.

As a third-year player, Chang Xuming will say goodbye to the baseball team after this game.

Unwilling, yes.

But at this time, I can only play every ball as well as possible and not leave too many regrets for myself.

Chang Xuming is also aware of this problem.

He already had a hunch that no matter how hard they tried, it would be impossible to regain control of the pace of the game.

However, he was really unwilling.

Since two years ago, he and his two friends joined Sakurasawa High School.

At that time, the third-graders had apparently given up baseball completely.

Only they are still dreaming.

What would it be like to be a public school in Koshien?

It is with this belief that they have been working step by step to get to where they are now.

It is precisely because of their belief that more and more friends have joined, and these friends regard their dreams as their own dreams and work together.

Now that he has finally come to this point, how can he give up?

Thinking of this, Chang Xuming's eyes suddenly became very sharp.

At this time, he is no longer the kind of person who has no quarrel with the world, but has the feeling that a real trump card should have.

But when Professor Kikukawa saw his changes, his face was not full of joy, but full of worry.

"Oops!"

Butterfly ball pitchers have very high requirements for the mentality of pitchers.

You have to have that state of mind when you're in the middle of the city.

Only then can the power of the butterfly ball be truly brought into play.

to be able to throw the kind of butterfly ball without any spin and unpredictable.

In order to be able to do this, Chang Xuming worked hard for two and a half years, nearly three years.

But now, his mentality has collapsed.

This is certainly not a good sign, and it can even be said to be an extremely bad sign.

When he has such a mentality and the idea of wanting to compete, he will no longer be able to play to his previous strength.

"Whoosh!"

Miyuki in the strike zone watched the baseball fly over.

For a ball that doesn't spin at all, even if he knows how to hit, Miyuki doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

The fact that Tanba, who played on the ninth pitch before, will be solved proves this.

It's useless to just know the principle, and the real ability to hit the ball.

Just as he was thinking that, the baseball flew over.

It was completely different from his previous feeling, and this time the baseball was thrown, although it was still very slow.

But when a baseball is flying, it spins.

Miyuki, who realized this, was unusually this time, and didn't think too much about it at all.

He carried his bat directly behind his back and completely pulled his striking stance away.

It looks like you're going to have to go all out to get the ball out.

In the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team.

The little friends who saw this scene felt that their eyes were straight.

Is this guy crazy?

They have already worked out a strike strategy before, why didn't this guy execute it?

In the face of a butterfly ball that doesn't know where to fly, it's easy to miss if you swing the stick with all your might.

If Miyuki is struck by this time.

According to the character of Superintendent Kataoka, it is very possible to put him directly into the cold palace.

You must know that it is different now than it was then, and the catcher of the Qingdao High School baseball team is not a must-have.

Chris has been eyeing the position of the main catcher.

The most important thing is that Chris still has the strength to replace Yuyuki at any time.

You say, why can't this guy grow a little heart?

I have to fix this kind of moth.

In the worried eyes of the friends, they witnessed Miyuki's swing of the bat, which happened to hit the baseball.

"Ping!"

This guy's luck is really good!

But luck doesn't work, just luck touches the ball out, if it's a high flying ball and is killed.

After that, Miyuki was inevitably reprimanded by Superintendent Kataoka.

However, what the friends didn't expect was that the baseball was not only not killed, but flew all the way to the stands in the outfield.

"Smack!"

The baseball fell in the outfield stands and then bounced.

Kazuya Miyuki scored a three-point home run.

Helped the Seido High School baseball team extend its lead to five points.

Score, 5:0!

Although everyone knew before, Sakurasawa High School played against the Seido High School baseball team, and it was difficult to win the final victory.

But Sakurasawa High School's performance is indeed outstanding.

Even the most die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team have no way to deny this.

Therefore, they take it for granted that the Qingdao High School baseball team, although it will be able to win today's game.

But the process will certainly not be so smooth.

Unexpectedly, this idea just came to mind.

The Qingdao High School baseball team has already established a huge advantage.

Judging from the current feeling, the Seido High School baseball team can not only win, but should also be able to end the game early.

The game continues!

Jun Izaki, who kept up the good work, scored a well-timed hit.

Extended the lead to six points.

In the stands, the die-hard supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team were already excited.

They excitedly and passionately shouted the names of the Qingdao High School baseball team for the first victory of the summer tournament.

Sakurazawa's performance is not bad.

Even in a state of total suppression, their players still stabilized the situation and did not completely collapse.

Chang Xuming, who enjoyed the game wholeheartedly, gradually regained his original intention, and in the subsequent games, he re-demonstrated the power of the butterfly ball.

It even solved the problem of increasing the number of children for a time.

But there was no way, in the fourth inning, Zhang Han took the lead in scoring a second base hit.

The friends after the Qingdao High School baseball team made another series of onslaughts and scored a full five points.

Extend the lead score to eleven points.

The score on the field became 11:0!

In the first half of the fifth inning, Sakurasawa High School attacked.

Their players pulled out all the stops, and even if they couldn't score points, they wanted to score a hit.

But the players of the Seido High School baseball team didn't even give them such a chance.

Throw to the last Tanbo, kill with two strikeouts and one touch.

Very clean, take the last three outs.

In this way, the Seido High School baseball team ended the game early without offense in the fifth inning.

Qingdao, who only attacked four games, scored eleven points.

Although compared to the other two giants who compete with them, the score is a little less.

But because of the lack of an offensive opportunity, overall, the performance was no worse than those two teams.

"In the third round of the Nishi-Tokyo Regional Competition, the Seido High School baseball team played against Sakurasawa High School, and it was the Nishitokyo Seido High School baseball team that successfully advanced to the fourth round."
