Chapter 42: The Secret Ace of 70 Km/H Speed (Part 1)
There were a lot of people watching the game, and the whole stand was almost half sitting.
"So lively today?"
Among the players of the second and third armies of the Qingdao High School baseball team, many people looked at the dense crowd of people around them, which was very strange.
It's just a sixteen-in-eight game, and it's not a collision of giants yet.
How did so many viewers come?
"Thanks to the help of TV Tokyo, our school has become more and more famous recently. These guys probably want to see our team play live, right? ”
If you are well-informed, tell the people around you directly.
The friends suddenly realized.
On TV, it's really different.
Especially in this program made by TV Tokyo, the position of the Seido High School baseball team is very important. It will attract a certain amount of attention, and it is also a matter of course.
"The reporter from the TV station suggested that we should supervise and shout slogans before the game, but the supervisor never agreed. I don't know when I will be able to see it on TV? ”
"After seeing that slogan, there must be more people who will become fans of our team, right?"
The contestants laughed in unison.
Among them, there are many people who have a hazy good impression of Qingdao high school students after reading that slogan.
After graduating from high school, I didn't even think about other schools and chose to enter Qingdao directly.
There are even many players who have not been able to get an invitation to the Seido High School baseball team.
But they resolutely chose this school, which is their dream.
Wearing the blue and blue team uniform, he gathered with all the players and shouted the slogan of Qingdao......
That scene, in their dreams, has appeared no longer known how many times.
I just don't know, when will they actually be able to experience it?
Not only the players in the stands, but also the friends who are about to play now, one by one, are also gearing up.
They also want to shout that slogan.
It's just that there is no order from the supervisor in this level of competition, and they themselves are embarrassed to make requests.
It seems like a deliberate attempt to pretend to be 13.
waited until the game officially started, without any twists and turns.
Even if there was a more intense match waiting for tomorrow, Qingdao High School did not take the opponent of today's game lightly.
They sent out all their main forces at the beginning.
Today is also the Qingdao Road attack.
The first half of the game.
No one is out, no one is on base.
The first to stand in the strike zone was still Yoichi Kuramoto, the offensive engine of the Seido High School baseball team.
And their opponent, the Red Devils, who are known as the most Buddhist team, sent the starting pitcher in today's game, but not their team's No. 1 trump card.
It's their team's No. 11, a substitute second-year pitcher.
The name is Mogami Takeshi.
After this substitute pitcher came on the court, the friends in the Red Devils' rest area seemed to be very excited and kept cheering him on.
Kuramochi raised an eyebrow.
He had a faint bad premonition in his heart.
Just before, when the Qingdao High School baseball team analyzed the Red Devils.
Chris and Zhang Han invariably raised doubts.
How could the newly appointed overseer, who has not made any contributions, behave so Buddhist?
Even if he doesn't have the slightest ambition to lead the team, doesn't he want to keep the job and earn more salary?
This matter is irrational everywhere and always gives people a very discordant feeling.
At that time, it was also hypothesized that, in fact, the Red Devils had not been tested in any major tournaments after the change of supervision.
The previous games were basically practice matches, and before playing with them in Qingdao, the Red Devils did not face any threatening opponents in this spring tournament.
Could it be these guys who deliberately hide their strength?
This speculation, while bold, is not entirely impossible. In Tokyo, there are not a few teams that want to get ahead.
Although the previous Red Devils have always behaved very Buddhist, this does not mean that the future performance of others will always be Buddhist.
For this speculation, the Seido High School baseball team also made certain preparations before.
For example, at the beginning of today's game, they did not save any strength and played directly with the main force.
For another example, in order to deal with the special situations that may arise, the Seido High School baseball team has also practiced tactics before.
Although this tactic is mainly for tomorrow's game. But it doesn't hurt to put your tactics into practice in advance.
Just as the game began, a group of uninvited guests came to the stands.
Those who babble and like to see the real chapter on the court are rare to come to see the game.
Kuramochi in the strike zone hasn't paid attention yet, but the rest of the Seido High School baseball team has all noticed.
"Look, the pharmacist's man is here..."
It's hard not to pay attention to the other person.
Although the distance is very far, the other party's extremely ugly school uniform, coupled with the signature laughter of Thunder City.
The first time they came, they were sensed by everyone in Qingdao.
This also shows from the side that the pharmacist won the game in Daocheng before, how significant is it?
Yakushi, who went through that game, has thoroughly become one of the most eye-catching teams in Tokyo.
Although they are not giants, their sense of existence at this stage is no worse than that of giants.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team exchanged glances with each other, and the look in their eyes became more and more ferocious.
Originally, they didn't plan to release the water in this game.
Now that the pharmacist is here, they are even less inclined to release the water.
They must let those guys in the stands take a good look, don't think that if you win Daocheng by luck, there will be a big deal.
They are still very far away from the road of the giants.
Zhang Han looked at the interaction of his friends, smiled wryly and shook his head.
Although they are rivals with Inajo, they still belong to that kind of rivalry.
But from another point of view, they and Daocheng are brothers in the trenches.
After all, they are all giant teams, and they have the pride of belonging to a giant team.
At the very least, they feel the same way they look at the pharmacist.
I can't lose to this kind of dark horse, I don't know from which corner of the wall.
The friends are united.
But the course of the game doesn't seem to follow their wishes.
Kuramochi had just stepped into the strike zone, and he wanted to watch the two balls for an opponent whose strength was completely unknown.
As a result, I saw that the opponent threw the ball without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
When the baseball flew over, Kuramochi felt very surprised, and the speed of the ball was inevitably ......
It's too slow!
The baseball swayed and flew out of the pitcher's hands.
If this had been placed in normal times, Kuramochi would have started without hesitation.
But because he didn't know anything about the opponent, the Red Devils' supervision made the pitcher start again in such an important game.
The position is inevitably a little more cautious.
He wanted to watch a ball first.
Then the ball, so slowly, floated over and fell into the catcher's glove.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!!"
In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the friends were completely stunned.
What kind god can tell them?
What do they see?
The opponent's pitch, let alone in high school, even if it is placed in elementary school students, his ball speed is slow.
You must know that the ball speed of elementary school students is also very fast, many of them are more than 11.
What is this guy's ball speed?
Seventy kilometers?
Because the speed is so slow, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have never done this speed visual inspection before.
So they really don't dare to make assertions and guess what the number of balls is?
But based on their previous experience, and the feedback they got from the field.
The ball speed should not exceed seventy.
The Red Devils, even before the professional retired overseer arrived, their players were able to lead the team to the quarterfinals of the 16 in Tokyo.
Even if you're lucky, you can hit the top 4.
Although there is no fighting spirit after encountering a strong team, the strength of Red Devils High School as a whole is not bad.
In such a team full of masters, why send a pitcher with a ball speed of only 70 kilometers?
Red Devils, are you crazy?
