Chapter 46: March (3rd Shift)
Oda, the third high school in the city, was very shocked.
They are absolute acquaintances with the Qingdao High School baseball team, and they know the ace pitcher Xiuze of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
For the characteristics of Xiuzawa, and how much strength does he have?
The contestants of the third high school of the city university think that they understand very clearly.
But now, Oda was surprised to find that they didn't seem to know Hidesawa as well as he thought.
The current Xiuzawa not only throws the ball very heavily, but also has a great improvement in ball control.
In the past, as long as you waited patiently, there would always be a good ball flying over.
But now, he has waited for so many balls, and none of them are good to play!
Either the ball is heavy to death, or the position of the flight makes people twist.
When did the Qingdao High School baseball team, which has always been known for its ace weakness, start to pitch so toughly?
And that's not all.
The opponent's ball matching also made him feel that he was very awkward.
There was a very strange feeling, as if he himself had been completely seen through.
What kind of ball path do you want to choose? What kind of ball to play?
Xiuze seems to be all clear.
But how is this possible?
You must know that even if there was a monster like Chris before, as a partner for Xiuze, he had never shown such a domineering pitching rhythm.
They commented on Hidezawa and said that he had the power of a nuclear bomb.
But this sentence is actually a hidden mystery.
To put it bluntly, he has no berserk pitching power, but he doesn't have any pitching skills.
Pure brute force is no problem against those undertrained grassroots teams, and when you encounter a giant like them, it is no different from looking for death.
But now, everything has changed.
Gradually, Oda who was fighting began to be suppressed.
After the ball was full, he didn't put me on the pitch and had to hit it out of bounds again and again.
But this practice is very dangerous.
As long as he doesn't play a good ball, he can only be out of the game when he is greeted by him.
Entangled in the 9th ball, Oda barely touched the ball with his bat to the outside of the first base touchline.
Oda secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That way he can hold one more ball.
None of these giants are fuel-efficient lamps.
Just like Oda in front of him, when he realized that he would not be able to conquer Hidesawa in a short period of time, he immediately changed his mind and no longer forced the ball into the court to win the hit.
Instead, they keep hitting the ball out of bounds.
In this way, he can collect information on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can also consume Xiuzawa's physical strength.
I have to say that as an old rival, the third high school of the city university studied Xiuze, which was quite thorough.
They know very well that it is impossible to last long with too hard pitching.
Xiuze is not very burly, and his pitching is so strong.
Of course, he can't keep throwing at this pace all the time!
As long as they drag it out patiently, Xiuze's physical strength will definitely have problems.
I have to say that Oda's plan was not wrong.
It's just that he is too optimistic to estimate his strength.
On the ninth ball, he barely hit the ball out of bounds, and he didn't have time to completely loosen his breath.
He saw a sturdy figure, jumped out, and at the moment when the baseball was about to hit the ground, he steadily copied the ball into his glove.
"Smack!"
"Out!!"
"Kakuei Tanaka at second base! is worthy of being the captain of the Qingdao High School baseball team, and he stood up at a critical moment to turn the tide. ”
In the stands, people were talking.
They admired Xiuze's performance very much.
With his garrison position, it will take at least ten meters to get to the landing point of the baseball.
But he ran over in the blink of an eye, and took the ball very quickly.
In the rest area of Qingdao, the friends are also full of smiles, which is very bright.
"Well done, Captain!"
"You're the best, senior!"
"One out, one out!!"
Under Tanaka's leadership, the morale of the team is much higher.
And that's not all.
After solving Oda, Xiuzawa's life was obviously much better.
After that, although the strength of the top three hitters in the city is not weak, they are not as comprehensive as Oda, and they have not reached the height of him.
The second and third sticks of the three high schools in the city are all muscular men.
The swing of the bat is particularly powerful, giving people the feeling that as long as they touch the ball, they can fly it off the court.
But that's also the feeling, in fact, in the power duel between them and Xiuze, they didn't take advantage of anything.
The second batter, barely hitting the ball into the outfield.
When the baseball flew into the field, in fact, everyone on the scene knew that the ball was 100% cold.
The baseball flies high, but it's just too high, and the angle at which it falls is almost vertical.
The mustache Iza Jun, almost effortlessly, took the ball firmly into his glove.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
An out-of-bounds kill, a high fly ball catch.
It seems that it is all due to the guards, but the most important reason is not on them.
The biggest contributor to these two outs is the pitcher.
Xiuzawa has indeed made great progress in the past few months.
His biggest improvement isn't the speed or the power of the ball, it's the possession.
In the past, he only had bullets and guns, and he had very powerful weapons in his hands, but he was not feared.
The reason for this is actually very simple.
Because he can't hit it accurately!
To put it bluntly, it's not good to control the ball!
This has caused two particularly serious consequences, and people can wait for the ball.
There are a lot of bad balls, and wait for the four bad balls to be delivered.
If you don't throw a bad ball, you can also play a good ball near the center of the ball.
This directly creates a very awkward situation.
Hidezawa, a pitcher for the Seido High School baseball team, is clearly in control of the most terrifying pitching in all of Tokyo.
The overall performance is a bit of a nerve knife.
Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.
When he's in good shape, he's on par with the best pitchers in Tokyo.
When the state is not good, some hitters who are not very strong can also hit his ball.
But this is destined to be a thing of the past.
Today's Xiuze has mastered good ball control, and the strength of the whole person has at least risen to a level.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!!"
"Good shot!!"
"Strikeout!!"
The third batter of the third high school of the city university was knocked out by the strikeout.
At the beginning of the game, Xiuze, who has always had an unstable start, let the hitter of the third highest level in the city go up and down three times.
This is equivalent to a slap in the face to the third high school of the city university.
Their previous plan was destined to fail.
The strength of the Qingdao High School baseball team has grown not only because of their playing line.
Their garrison has also been greatly strengthened!
