Chapter 44: Three Strikeouts (Part 1)

In the final of the Kanto Conference, the game between the Seido High School baseball team and the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team is about to begin.

The players of the two teams pulled out their positions and sprinted to the center of the court.

"Rush!"

"Rush!!"

After rushing to the middle of the court, the players of the two teams stood in line and saluted each other.

"Please advise!"

"Please advise!!"

And just like that, the game officially began.

On the side of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, the first to stand in the strike zone is their team's first baseball Carl Rose.

Carl Rose, who is of black descent, has a typical athletic body type. Not only is the speed first-class, but also the selection eye, striking skills, and defensive ability are very comprehensive.

This is a well-known player who has shown amazing talent since he was in junior high school.

Entering Daocheng Industrial, following the team to Koshien and dominating the country, made Carl Ross's popularity and strength climb a lot.

Today, he is a nightmare for many pitchers.

And his opponent today is Akira Shibuyani, who shined in the first game of the Kanto Conference of the Seido High School baseball team.

Although in the game between Qingdao High School and Shonan School Park, the overall performance of Xiaogu was not outstanding.

It can even be said that he was targeted very badly.

But his fame still spread.

After all, that terrifying pitching momentum and speed are unforgettable for anyone after seeing them. Not to mention, he is still a first-year newcomer and is a very variable presence on the field.

Before the game, the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School naturally studied Akira Tsukiya carefully.

However, they all came to the conclusion that the Seido High School baseball team should not let this player play.

"I didn't expect that the Qingdao High School baseball team would let such a flawed pitcher appear!"

Carl Ross has no intention of showing mercy, and since the Qingdao High School baseball team dares to make such a decision, they must pay the price for their decision.

His task is to make the supervisors and players of the Qingdao High School baseball team fully aware of the gap in strength?

"Then let me see the pitching of the monster first-year newcomer!"

Not only Carl Ross was interested, but in their rest area, Narumi Cheng was also eager to try.

"This guy's ball speed can surpass me?"

"I don't know the fastest ball speed, but in terms of average ball speed, he not only surpasses you, even if he compares to Zhang Han, it is not much worse."

Harada said unceremoniously.

The situation at the beginning of the Daocheng game was undoubtedly somewhat passive.

According to their original judgment, the Qingdao High School baseball team must want to win and become the champion today.

Based on the premise of this goal, they should not send the unstable Akira Shibuyani to the court.

In the previous Qingdao High School baseball team and Shonan School Park game,The weaknesses of this first-year newcomer,It's been almost exposed.。

The players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School can draw a scoop according to the gourd and use the same method to solve the problem of Xiaogu Gu.

Not to mention that his pitching is inherently erratic, and even if his pitching is relatively consistent, it will be difficult for him to hold out for a few innings on the pitcher's mound.

In this case, what reason does the Seido High School baseball team have to let Akira Shibuyani play?

So the conclusion they came to was that there was no need to prepare a means to target Gu Xiao. Because the Qingdao High School baseball team would not use this kind of self-defeating trick at all.

But now the people on the Qingdao High School baseball team are doing just that.

This made Daocheng, who made a judgment at the beginning, fall behind.

Because they were not prepared, they were inevitably caught off guard at this time.

The national friend supervisor didn't even have time to give orders to the players, so he could only bite the bullet and let the players rely on their own strength to compete with this first-year pitcher. Fortunately, although they were not prepared, they knew the weaknesses of Xiaogu Gu.

Plus, they have confidence in their own players on the field.

So this duel is not so desperate.

"Carl, let him see what you're up to!"

"We weren't scared when the ball speed broke through 150 km/h."

"It's a first-year newcomer, I really think I can turn the sky in front of our Daocheng industry!"

in the rest area, including in the stands.

The players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, as well as their supporters, are frantically cheering up their own hitters.

Instead, the players and supporters of the Seido High School baseball team behaved calmly.

Akiko Owada, a rookie reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine, was very surprised by this scene.

"I didn't expect this player named Carl Ross to be so popular!"

Fujifu was surprised by something else.

Carl Ross is a natural reason for his popularity. Originally, he was a star player in the Tokyo area, and after winning the championship with the team in Koshien in the spring, his status has also risen, and now although he is not as good as Yuuki, Zhang Han is the top fighter in the country.

But the evaluation is not too low.

In other words, to a certain extent, some people already regard him as an existence at the same level as Yuki and Zhang Han.

With this level of existence, the team's supporters and fellow players have confidence in him and rightfully so.

What really surprised Fujio was the attitude of the players and supporters of Inagi Industries.

The opponent was just a first-year rookie and didn't do well in the first game.

As for the players and supporters of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team, will it bring such heavy psychological pressure?

So much so that they all had to cheer on the players they supported, as if they didn't do it, they would feel uneasy.

In his eyes as an insider, this is an incredible thing.

But this kind of thing is not certain, and sometimes the hunch of the parties is more accurate than that of these experts who are bystanders.

Maybe this first-year newcomer can bring more different things to this game.

Fujifu, who wasn't in a lot of interest, felt like his blood was starting to flow rapidly.

He can't wait to see the result of the duel between the two players?

It was in this warm atmosphere that Yuyuki gave the first code to Tsukiya Xiao.

It's been less than two weeks since the first game.

There was no moment for Akira to stop the pursuit of ball control.

Now is the time to show the results of your training.

"Whether you are a Jackie Chan or an adult, it depends on this time."

After receiving the code, he nodded slightly, then pulled away and threw the ball with all his might.

In the process of pitching, the whole movement is like running, and the strength of the whole body is concentrated on the two fingers of the pitch.

"Boom!"

The moment the baseball is shot, anyone who is relatively close to the pitching position can clearly hear the roar.

The baseball that flies over does not give people a lifeless feeling like ordinary pitching.

The pitch was as if it were alive, giving the impression that it was not a baseball that flew over, but an unknown monster.

Carl Rose, who was originally waiting for the battle, was ready to swing the bat in his hand.

In the process of seeing the baseball flying, he was completely in a state of sluggishness. He subconsciously turned his head sideways, and subconsciously tightened the bat in his hand, restraining his desire to swing the bat to resist.

Then he watched the baseball pass in front of his eyes and slammed into Miyuki's open glove.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

The baseball flew into the good ball belt, and it was a good ball band that was deflected into the inside corner.

In less than two weeks, Xiao's pitching has completely abandoned the previous savage feeling.

This time he was able to dig into the ball with precision.

In the rest area of the baseball team of Inagi Industrial High School.

The supervisor habitually shook his neck, making his neck creaque.

He didn't speak, and the expression on his face didn't look like it had changed.

Instead, the minister of their team, a man with a Mediterranean haircut, touched the top of his half-bald head.

"I've already refueled someone who has to pay attention!"

What kind of magic did Kataoka, the superintendent of the Seido High School baseball team, use to make this baseball beginner make such a big improvement in such a short period of time?

The head of the baseball club of Daocheng Industrial High School is puzzled by this.

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!!"

"Strikeout!"

"Strikeout!!"

"Strikeout!!
