Chapter 22: The Teammates Standing Behind (1st Update)
In the second half of the fifth inning, the Yutian Animal Husbandry High School baseball team attacked.
Qingdao High School baseball team, the first round of the spring competition, played a lot of twists and turns.
Originally, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team didn't take their opponents today too seriously.
Although the other party has a history of entering Koshien, after all, it was an old thing decades ago, and it has nothing to do with the current Yutian animal husbandry.
Although the story of the other party's previous contestant is very touching. But what's the use of a story that's touching? Didn't they even make it to the round of 16 in the end?
The results speak for themselves.
Although in the course of the game, they can not underestimate any opponent. But for an opponent of the level of Yutian Animal Husbandry, the probability that they can pose a lethal threat to the Qingdao High School baseball team is too low, so low that it is almost negligible.
It is precisely because of the confidence to win that Superintendent Kataoka dared to temporarily adjust the team's style in this game.
Even if Superintendent Kataoka knew that this snowball style of pressing step by step would make it easier for the team to go to the end.
But before the Seido High School baseball team, it wasn't a team of this style after all. Bold change, Qingdao is still inevitable, and there are some risks to take.
Then, there is the current scene.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team looked at each other.
Their overwhelming fifth inning, that's the end?
This makes a lot of friends feel unreal.
Their opponents seem to have suddenly become stronger.
Superintendent Kataoka's face was not good either.
The development of things is too far from the script he thought of before.
And in good conscience, the performance of the players is not bad. They did carry out their orders faithfully, but their opponents suddenly became stronger.
At this time, they seemed to be able to only admire this man named Kazuo Aikawa.
"Let's hold this game first."
It is no longer possible to play five innings in advance.
The original abacus of the Qingdao High School baseball team was completely lost. Inevitably, the players were affected by something.
The first to bear the brunt is their pitcher Tanbo.
When he pitched in the bottom half of the fifth inning, he was given a good opportunity by Tamada's fourth baseman and scored a second base hit.
The situation became that no one was out, and there was someone on second base.
Someone went to base, and Tanba's expression was a little stiff.
But at that time, most of the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team did not take it too seriously.
Pitching is like this, often walking by the river, how can there be no wet shoes?
In a game, the pitcher throws so many balls, and no one dares to guarantee that every ball will not have any problems.
As long as the key situation does not drop the chain, it is already a very rare good pitcher.
By now, Tambo had just lost a hit.
With such a performance, what else do they not be satisfied with?
The players were content and thought it wasn't a big deal.
As long as you stabilize next, you're good to go.
But alas, their wishes were doomed.
Tamba's performance next was enough to shock everyone's glasses.
The fifth bat, that is, the pitcher of Yutian Animal Husbandry, Kazuo Aikawa.
Not only does he shoot hard, but his striking also looks good, and he is placed in the core of the line.
He aimed at Tamba's straight ball and flew straight out.
"Ping!"
The baseball that was hit landed in the gap between the outfield guards.
The fourth batter of Yutian Animal Husbandry, who was already on second base, took advantage of this hit and ran back to home plate in one go.
Help Yutian Animal Husbandry recover a point.
The aggregate score became 4:1.
The contestants of Yutian Animal Husbandry were so excited that they seemed to have won the game and celebrated excitedly.
The fans in the stands, although there were not many who came to cheer for Yutian. But they won't let go of such an exciting scene. One by one, they shouted happily and cheered for the players on the field.
The other side.
The fans who supported the Seido High School baseball team fell silent.
The Buddhist expressions on the faces of the players of the Seido High School baseball team have completely disappeared.
The players of Yutian Animal Husbandry will never know, how big of a basket they have stabbed in this point?
They opened Pandora's box.
Miyuki called a timeout, and all the players in the infield gathered on the pitcher's mound.
Tamba's state is a problem, and it's already a certainty.
The point is that they don't know, why did something go wrong inexplicably? And most importantly, how to solve it?
Miyuki kept using his brain.
The psychological quality of his senior is not very good, and he is extremely proud. When communicating with him, you must be careful with your words, otherwise it is likely to backfire.
"Senior, don't pay attention to the runners on the baseball. We'll take care of the defense, you just have to focus on pitching. ”
"I don't need you to teach me a lesson!"
Tanba said impatiently.
Yuuki narrowed his eyes and patted Tamba on the shoulder with his glove.
"Don't try to fight the problem on your own, we're teammates on the same team."
"Hehe, if you just want to play one-person baseball, if you can't get the position of the ace, you will be robbed by the juniors."
Ryosuke Kominato directly stabbed people in the underbelly.
I have to say that the effect of this is still very significant.
He looked at Zhang Han with the rest of his eyes, and then looked at Kawakami in the rest area.
Tanbo's originally tense nerves couldn't take care of his nervousness at this time.
His eyes regained his fighting spirit.
Miyuki secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Senior Tanba can play his previous state, there will be no trouble with Yutian animal husbandry.
In a place where no one was looking, Kataoka's gaze was a little deep.
After that, Tanba's pitching was restored.
In the face of the kind of curveball that fell rapidly, as if a meteor had landed, the players of Yutian Animal Husbandry could only watch.
They couldn't even swing the bat, let alone knock the ball out.
was not frightened by the ball and fell directly to the ground, which is already the result of their excellent psychological quality and hard training on weekdays.
This made Zhang Han, who was watching from the sidelines, also breathtaking.
This senior obviously has such a powerful weapon in his hand, but he just doesn't know how to use it well.
It's really a tyrannical thing.
If you have such a sharp change ball, then you will definitely be able to firmly sit in the position of the pitcher, and you will never give up the trump card to others.
Of course, Zhang Han only has envy.
Although he can be regarded as tall and has slender limbs. But the ball he threw was never as good as Tamba's.
Everyone has a bowl of rice, and it is enough to be able to eat their own bowl, and if you eat the bowl and look at the pot, you may not be able to eat anything in the end.
After resuming pitching training, I should concentrate on honing my fast ball.
At the end of the five games, the score of the two sides was still 4:1.
