The first baseball team of Seido High School, Yoichi Kuramochi.

It's extremely fast, and once you get on the base, you're sure to turn into a pretty troublesome guy.

But on the other hand, his striking ability is weak, and among the nine main players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, he is one of the easier to win out.

On the pitcher's mound, Cheng Gongming's mind flashed these materials as a matter of course.

This is a skill he has just mastered in the spring Koshien competition. Before the duel, go through the characteristics of the other party.

Lest your head get hot, throw the ball that the opponent is good at playing.

Now, Cheng Gongming has done a good job.

Kuramochi stood on the left strike zone.

He is more versatile and is good at opening the bow left and right. Deliberately standing in the left strike zone, there is a certain possibility of directly stealing the base.

For the average player, when no one is on base, stealing the base directly is not much different from finding death.

However, Kuramochi's speed is extraordinary, and if he wants to use short hits to steal bases directly, he still has a certain chance of success.

"If you have the ability, you can run directly!"

Although he knew that Cang might steal the base directly, Cheng Gongming didn't care too much. In contrast, he believes more in the defensive ability of his teammates.

If the position is not rash, it will be fine.

As long as he dares to take risks, the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team are at least seventy or eighty percent sure that they will block him.

With a seventy or eighty percent certainty, this probability is not small. Coupled with the fact that Narumiya is full of confidence in his pitching, he believes that this probability needs to be improved.

"Whoosh!"

Baseball's tricky straight inside corner.

Not only is the angle tricky, but the ball speed is also frighteningly fast.

Kuramochi, who was in the strike zone, watched the baseball fly past his eyes and did not react.

"Smack!"

"Bad ball!"

The baseball is slightly off the good ball band.

Kuramochi exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and his heart relaxed a little.

As far as the situation is concerned, it is really very thrilling. If the baseball goes straight into the good ball belt, there is nothing to say about him being chased.

Fortunately, the baseball is off, even if it is only a little bit, it is enough for him.

In this way, he has one more respite and more opportunities to observe Cheng Gongming's pitching.

"The ball speed is obviously a notch worse than Zhang Han, but the sense of oppression is about the same. This guy is really not idle. ”

It's been more than three months since the last practice match between the two teams.

Cheng Gongming's progress can be seen clearly by everyone.

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

The players were all paying full attention to the throwing duel, and when they saw this scene, they also took a deep breath.

This sense of oppression can be felt clearly even when they are standing in the rest area.

"This kid has become more difficult!"

Miyuki smiled bitterly.

"I don't know what happened? Every time I see it, it's like I've evolved. ”

Jun Izaki couldn't help but slander.

To say that the Qingdao High School baseball team is also unlucky enough, it finally had the opportunity to enter Koshien and dominate the country, but in the same area, it encountered such an obstacle as Daocheng Industry.

"There is never a shortcut to victory. No matter who's in front of you? I'm going to defeat him! ”

Captain Yuuki said.

After listening to the words of their captain, the players of the Seido High School baseball team were obviously much more relaxed.

That's right, in a fierce battle zone like Tokyo, if they want to get ahead, the road is never smooth.

Who let them have such a team in the same region that dominates the country and temporarily ranks first in the country.

"Hit out..."

"It's a good choice, don't rush, let him shoot a few more shots."

In the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team, the players cheered for the beaters on the field.

But I don't know if it's because of too much pressure or some other reason, when they were refueling, their opinions actually diverged.

Some advocated letting Kuramochi swing the baton aggressively, while others advocated letting him entangle a few more balls.

"It's a bunch of pig teammates, right?"

Narumi Narumi took a look at the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team in disbelief.

Give two opinions to the beater at the same time, how should the beater choose?

If you encounter a difficult choice, how can you swing the stick if you are entangled?

Anyway, if Cheng Gongming was standing on the strike zone, someone was cheering him on in the rest area. After he went back, he must aim at the other party's face and spray it fiercely.

Let them mess with their ideas.

"It's good luck for a team like this to reach the final!"

Narumiya's second ball was very close to the good ball band in the center.

In the face of this ball that looked good, Kuramochi did not dare to make a rash move.

He wasn't sure if the ball was a trap.

Will there be any changes?

As he hesitated, the baseball flew past his eyes and landed firmly in Harada's open glove.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

Ball speed, one good and one bad.

Kurachi in the strike zone has a very ugly face.

A straight ball close to the center?

He thinks a little too highly of himself, thinking that Cheng Gongming will definitely face him head-on, and the two sides will fight it out.

But it is clear that people don't take him seriously at all. Narumiya didn't intend to use the change ball against him at all, at least not until he chased him.

To put it bluntly, in Narumiya's opinion, Kuramori is not at the level of using the change ball at all.

"It's too bullying!"

Kuramochi, who used to mix on the streets, used to go out with his friends, who didn't respectfully call him Kuramochi-san?

As a big brother-level figure who has been mixed up from the road, where has he ever been so angry?

The little flame of anger in my heart burned.

"Say what's going to hit the ball out this time!"

You can't lose face if you lose anything, the other party is so blatantly bullying, if you don't fight back immediately, then is he still in a hurry?

When Narumiya Narumi threw the third ball, Kuramochi made a short play preview in advance.

"Short play at this time?"

"Now that no one is on base, what does the hitter want to do?"

In the rest area of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, the players looked at each other, they really couldn't guess, what did Kuramochi want to do?

You know, even if the position speed is against the sky. The probability of using a short hit to successfully get to base is also very small.

"Did the dog jump off the wall in a hurry?"

Bai He, who was in the guerrilla position, frowned.

He understands Kurachi's situation better, probably looking at this situation, it is impossible to fight it anyway.

So I want to take a short fight and take an adventure.

When the time comes, there is no way to be blocked.

If he succeeds on base, he can change the current situation on the court to a certain extent, and he can also wash away the humiliation he has suffered.

"But it's still naïve..."

While Shirakawa understands Kurachi's approach, he doesn't think Kuramochi's risk will succeed.

First of all, Narumiya's straight ball is not so easy to hit. The ball is very fast and the ball is heavy.

It's not easy for a hitter to just want to touch the ball with a short shot. Not to mention the perfect removal of the force from the baseball and let the baseball roll in the direction you want.

In addition, the infielders of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team did not move forward. But they didn't do that because they were confident that once the baseball was stubbed, they could rush up and pick it up as soon as possible.

With these two layers of protection, even if the warehouse is a good short, the speed is amazing. The probability of him succeeding in stealing the base will not be very high.

Not to mention, his short fights are just qualified, and they are not excellent.

In this case, if he really used this risky way to conduct a duel, it would be tantamount to whimsy.

Just when Shirakawa thought so, the showdown on the field began.

The arrogant Cheng Gong Ming still threw himself into the middle.

He is still afraid of the normal blow, and if he wants to fight short, then he will completely defeat him from the most proud aspect of Kurachi.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball flew over with a roar.

The warehouse that had been playing a short game suddenly put the bat back.

He gritted his teeth, looked in the direction of the flying baseball, and hit it hard.

"Uncle Ben, it's not just about running bases."

During the period of entering the First Army, Yu Xing and Zhang Han were holding on to the warehouse when they were fine. said that if he couldn't get to base, no matter how fast he was, it would be for nothing.

People want faces, trees want bark...

When he was said once or twice, Kuramochi relied on his cheekiness and resisted it. has been talked about a lot, and he also realizes that he can't do it without improving his striking strength.

Since then, he has been working hard to improve his swing, and now he practices more than 200 times a day.

Now, if Kuramochi really goes head-on to face off against Cheng Gongming, he must still have a big gap.

But if you know that Narumiya is throwing a straight ball, and you know the general range of the pitch.

Kuramochi is still able to touch the ball.

"Ping!"

After the baseball was hit, it was passed before several of Inagi's infielders could react.

"Wear it, wear it through !!"

In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the friends were even more surprised than the players of Daocheng Industry.

Just now, they clearly saw Cheng Gongming's play, and this guy is in very good shape.

In the face of such a Cheng Gong Ming, even Zhang Han and Yuuki are afraid that they will not be able to pat their chests and say that they will definitely be able to win the hit.

Their expectations for Kuramochi were not high, so he had to score a hit. Kuramori was able to entangle a few more balls, and they were satisfied.

Unexpectedly, it was this guy who hit the bottom of the rankings in the first selection of the Qingdao High School baseball team, and took the lead in winning a hit for the Qingdao High School baseball team.

And because of his extraordinary speed, once he hits the bases, the probability of the Qingdao High School baseball team scoring points in the first game will be greatly improved.

This feeling is almost as bad as pie in the sky.

"It's so handsome! That's it! ”

How surprised the players of the Seido High School baseball team were, and how strong the feedback was at this time.

Narumiya's face turned purple with anger.

"Damn! Damn it! ”

Seeing Kuramochi run to first base smoothly, he felt that his internal organs were burning with angry small flames.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable.

1

If he doesn't come back with revenge, even if he wins this game, Cheng Gongming won't be happy.

"Qingdao! Qingdao !! ”

In the stands, the cheerleaders of the Qingdao High School baseball team can't manage so much.

Seeing that the team took advantage, they happily waved the small slogans in their hands to cheer for Qingdao.

No one is out, there is someone on first base.

At this time, Ryosuke Kominato stood in the strike zone.

Narumi Narumiya pulled out of the stance, looking like he was going to pitch the ball.

Kuramoto, who was originally staying on first base, started one step ahead of the run when Narumiya had just raised his hand.

"It's too reckless!"

In the stands, many old fans who had just cheered for Kuramochi's performance were nervous at this time.

They never imagined that the first player of the Qingdao High School baseball team would get so carried away.

As soon as he hit the ball, he didn't even wait for the pitcher to make a move to prepare for the pitch.

At this time, they could only pray, and the pitcher of Inamori Industry, who was concentrating on the duel with the beater, did not notice this detail.

Otherwise......

That's what happens in this world, the more you fear something, the more it happens.

Narumiya Narumi ostensibly put on a posture of going head-to-head with Ryosuke Kominato, but in fact, he has been keeping an eye on Kurachi.

"The thoughts of wanting to steal the base are all on your face! Do you think I'm blind? ”

Narumiya viciously passed the ball to first base.

When he was just held by the cang, Cheng Gongming held back his strength and wanted to get the field back.

But in one game, there are not many opportunities for the two of them to really face each other, and only a few times.

Cheng Gongming doesn't know, in this game, does he have a chance to get back to this field?

Unexpectedly, Amaterasu treated him so well and put the opportunity in front of him so quickly.

"I'm really the protagonist, a supporting role or something, go die!"

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

The contestants, who were originally very excited, had gloomy faces at this time, as if they could drip water.

This feeling is so awkward!

If Kuramochi is directly out, they are not so disappointed.

But the warehouse has successfully hit the base, and the probability of them scoring the first point is very high.

In this case, since Kuramochi chose to steal the base directly, he also stole the base in advance.

It's just a matter of returning the base that has already arrived to Daocheng, and you have to take an out.

This huge gap from heaven to hell made the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team extremely uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion now, coupled with Kuramochi's own combat effectiveness, they would all want to stage a full martial arts.

"It's a pity!"

"It's over!"

Zhang Han stared at the warehouse and shook his head helplessly.

Probably too nervous! Too eager to attack the next base.

Such a mistake is something that all the players on the Seido High School baseball team don't want to see.

But there are also excusable circumstances.

It's just that after the game, Kuramochi is afraid that he will inevitably be destroyed by Kataoka Supervisor and the third-year seniors of the Second Army in the stands.

Just when Zhang Han and all the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team thought so.

The unexpected happened.

The ball passed to first base, Kuramochi didn't go back at all, he gritted his teeth and ran to second base.

"How naïve!"

Bai He is not an idle eater, and he has already gone to second base to fill in the position.

Yamaoka Lu of first base, after receiving the ball, passed it to Shirakawa non-stop.

Although Kurachi's action is fast, at this time, there are seven or eight meters away from second base.

It seems that Shirakawa wants to touch and kill him, it is almost like digging for something.

Cangzhi is not a master who does not give up in the Yellow River, he gritted his teeth, turned his head and ran towards the first base.

When the runner steals the base, except for the first base, after the baseball is passed back in advance, it is considered blocked.

The rest doesn't matter if it's second or third base.

The defending fielder, who must hold the baseball and touch the runner's body, can get the runner out.

This may seem like a harsh condition, but it's not that difficult to achieve. As long as the fielder catches the ball early and stops the runner's path, it's easy to touch him with his gloves the moment he's ready to run.

Therefore, ordinary people, when there is no hope, often give up resistance.

But Kurachi didn't!

Caught between two wilders, he was like a trapped beast, looking around for flaws without giving up.

"Kill him!"

On the pitcher's mound, Narumiya screamed.

I don't know if it's because I'm in a hurry or because I'm too excited.

Shirakawa also moved forward when he saw Kuramochi running back, and at the same time passed the ball back to Riku Yamaoka.

If the player who steals the base base does not give up, if he has to entangle, the two field players on the base bag will approach each other and block the runner's range of movement.

This is called a pinch kill.

Nowadays, Baihe and Shangang Lu, the method used is to kill in the sandwich.

They wanted to reduce the scope of the position and kill him.

At the same time, the second baseman and pitcher of the Baseball Team of Inagi Industrial High School also went to the two base packs to fill in the positions.

In case the warehouse runs away, they can be prepared.

Seeing the subtle knowledge, it is not difficult to see how strict the training of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team is?

Even in this special situation, which may not be encountered in the entire high school baseball career, their players have practiced and can cooperate accurately.

The reaction of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School is not unpleasant.

But they are fast, and Kurachi's movements are faster!

At the moment when Shirakawa passed the ball to Yamaoka Lu, Kuramochi, who had just pretended to run back, instantly turned around and ran towards Shirakawa.

When Yamaoka Lu saw this scene, his eyes were about to pop out.

He didn't hesitate, he grabbed the ball directly with his hand, and without any pause, passed the ball back to Shirakawa.

"Smack!"

Shirakawa received the ball, and Kuramochi happened to be by his side at this time.

The Seido runners, who had rekindled their hopes, once again experienced the feeling of falling from heaven to hell.

This time, I'm afraid it's completely over!

Shirakawa just needs to turn around and touch Kuramochi with his gloves.

Bai He subconsciously turned around and stretched out his gloves.

However, when his gloves were still ten centimeters away from Kuramochi's body, they couldn't catch up.

In this short moment, Kuramochi had already opened up the distance between himself and Shirakawa and ran smoothly to second base.

"Safety!"

When the position held the foot and stepped firmly on the second base, the stands erupted in thunderous applause.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"
