Chapter 18: Speed Ball! (2nd Update)
Seido High School baseball team played in Yokohama Kohoku.
Outside the arena, lately arrived Baseball Kingdom magazine reporter Fujio and his assistant Owada Akiko, anxiously running into the stadium.
"I don't know how the game went? Hell, it's still a traffic jam today. ”
Owada Akiko complained.
The magazine's attention to today's game is very high, and the editor-in-chief asked twice.
Unexpectedly, they were late today. If the editor-in-chief knew about this, it might not have any impact on Fujio, a veteran reporter, and her internship might be ruined.
"It's no wonder that we have already told the editor-in-chief to change a car, but he has to change it."
Fujifu said calmly.
Although he said so, his pace was not slow. It's not just because of the work, but also because he really has a bit of a curiosity about the game.
What kind of sparks can collide between the champions of the two hellish divisions, Tokyo and Kanagawa?
Fujifu was eager to find out.
When he arrived at the stands, Fujifu took a few breaths in a row.
It's really not good, Owada Akiko next to her, who was wearing high heels, is obviously a girl, and she didn't even sweat a drop when she ran here.
But he was out of breath.
The years are really a ruthless knife, making him, a former athlete, become the appearance of his brain full of fat.
Fujifu pressed his cap, then looked up and looked at it.
The game was actually just getting started and they didn't miss too much.
After the first half of the first game, Kanagawa's Yokohama Minatokita, worthy of the name of Yokogaku, took a two-point lead at the beginning.
You must know that the evolved Tamba is not weak at the beginning. In this case, Yokogaku can also seize the opportunity to score two points in one go, which fully proves that they are worthy of the name of the sports kingdom.
Unlike Qingdao High School, Qingdao High School also has various other clubs, but the resources of any club cannot be compared with the baseball team.
Qingdao is a baseball specialist.
Hengxue is different, their investment in sports can be regarded as the most in the country.
But they don't focus on one of them, they put in all the sports.
This has also created a very terrifying phenomenon, and there may be only one or two clubs that are really famous in other schools.
At most, two or three.
For example, Qingdao High School, the really famous club, in fact, is only the baseball club.
Yokogaku is very strong in all clubs, not only baseball is the top in the country, but others like football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis......
These sports with relatively large influence, their strength is not weak, and they can basically enter the national competition.
Some can even rank at the forefront of the country.
Therefore, Yokogaku is also known as the kingdom of sports, and in this atmosphere, the training enthusiasm of the players is very high, so the average strength of their players is very strong.
Of course, there are pros and cons.
Real athletes are often all-rounders, which also causes a very embarrassing thing.
That is, once Hengxue has good seedlings, various clubs will go crazy. The athletes in their school are certainly the best and the most numerous.
However, when it comes to a specific sport, it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of personnel.
This year, only two of the seven most famous players in Yokogaku chose the baseball team, and the other five chose other clubs.
Otherwise, if all seven players choose the baseball team, maybe Yokogaku will already win the Koshien hegemony.
With these things in mind, Fujio set his eyes on the court.
It's just the second half of the first inning, and the Seido High School baseball team is attacking.
It is respected as the first line in the country and the strongest attack team.
Will they remain silent when two heads are taken off?
With Fujifu's knowledge of the players on the Seido High School baseball team, there is absolutely no way they can do this, and they will definitely find a way to get revenge.
In their own way!
Kuramochi, who was the first to stand in the strike zone, had such a thought, and his eyes were firmly locked on the pitcher's mound.
The boy on the pitcher's mound is a little handsome.
But this is also his biggest characteristic, in addition to being more pleasing to the eye, it is difficult to see from him, what amazing characteristics does he have?
"Good at ball control, between 125 and 135 km, not slow, but definitely not fast."
Kuramochi recalled the information about this opponent in his mind over and over again.
This guy's pitching is very evil, according to the previous data analysis of the Qingdao High School baseball team, this guy's pitching should not be very strong.
It's not an impossible task to get his ball out on the back of his game.
But strangely, this guy rarely drops points on the field. At this year's Kanto Conference, he didn't lose any points at all in the second game, and he also lost one point in the first game against the city's junior high school.
Even if you know that the other party, as the trump card of Hengxue, it can't be so simple.
Even from the real data, the opponent's pitching must have something else strange.
But Kuramochi is still very bold and wants to challenge, as long as the opponent throws the ball, he will definitely try to hit the ball out.
As for the prayer of Kurachi, the ace pitcher on the Yokogaku pitcher mound seems to feel it.
The opponent did not run away, but threw the ball cleanly.
The ball didn't fly fast and was in the center.
After Kuramochi saw it, he almost didn't hesitate much, and decisively shot at this ball.
However, until he finished swinging the bat, he did not hear the sound of the bat hitting the baseball.
This is?
Kuramochi bit his lip tightly and looked back at the catcher in disbelief.
"Smack!"
Baseball arrived belatedly and fell into the catcher's glove.
"Good shot!"
In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the friends sitting on the chairs all widened their eyes.
Miyuki looked at Chris beside him: "Senior, in the information we investigated before, can this guy throw a speedball?" ”
"Nope! He never throws, and even when he played against the City University Sangao before, he didn't use a speedball. ”
This can be regarded as a bolt from the blue for the Qingdao High School baseball team.
The first time I used it, and it was without a straight ball to help cover it, so that Kuramochi's swing missed.
I also know with my toenail that the opponent retained his strength when he pitched the ball before. Even when he was competing with the third high school of the city university, he did not do his best as the outside world speculated.
"Smack..."
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!!"
"Strikeout!"
