"Qingdao! Qingdao !!! ”

With the hitters of the Seido High School baseball team, they began to stand in the strike zone.

The fans in the stands, the supporters of the Seongdo High School baseball team, shouted Seongdo's name in unison.

The stands on the side of Sakurasawa High School looked particularly deserted.

"It's not at the same level at all......"

One of the young players, who came to observe the game of the Seongdo High School baseball team with a camera, was very sorry when he saw this scene.

It seems that his trip was in vain.

The difference in strength between the two sides is so huge that the Qingdao High School baseball team does not need to show much strength at all to easily win this first game.

It's no wonder that Superintendent Kataoka didn't send Zhang Han and Yuuki out.

Playing against such a low-level team is like playing chess with a stinky chess basket, which may affect the state of those two super players.

It wasn't just the young player who came to watch the tournament who had this idea, but the vast majority of people at the scene, including many of Sakurazawa's own players and supporters.

I don't think their team will be able to perform or play in today's game.

At this time, their greatest hope is not to lose too ugly.

If on this basis, their players can play a little bit, for example, to score a point or two.

And they were satisfied.

To be honest, the requirements of Sakurasawa High School are really not high.

At least except for a few of their core players, the other players have really low requirements for their own team.

But even if it is not a high request, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team do not intend to agree.

They are actively trying to figure out how to kill the opponent in front of them without giving the opponent any chance to react.

"The other party's best thing is to defend, and your initial task is to tear a hole and take the lead in scoring points."

Superintendent Kataoka's tone, as always.

Sakurasawa High School itself is not strong, and when they can't see a chance to score, they are losing a lot of points.

They're going to panic!

As long as the players from Sakurasawa High School panic, then in today's game, the Qingdao High School baseball team can win the game.

It may seem a little cruel.

But there is no turning back in high school baseball, and if the Seido High School baseball team wants to go on, it can't be soft on any opponent.

No races in general, let alone an important opening game of the summer.

"Yes!"

The friends who received the order were gearing up one by one and their fighting spirit was high, and they couldn't wait to go on the field.

The first to stand in the strike zone is still Yoichi Kuramochi, a cheetah known as the offensive engine of the Seido High School baseball team.

"Hip hop!"

Kuramochi didn't underestimate the opposing pitcher.

Although until now, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are not sure, what type of ball is thrown by the ace of Sakurasawa High School, Asakura Asaaki?

Is it a quirk ball, or is it some other type of ball that is similar?

But there is one thing, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are very clear in their hearts.

That is the strength of the other party, which should not be underestimated.

This can be seen in his performances in the first two games.

"Uncle Ben should take a good look, what type of ball are you?"

Kuramochi's posture at the beginning was not an active swing.

It looks like he's going to watch a ball first.

As a catcher, Hisuo was silently relieved in his heart.

Despite his mentality, Amin is the best one in their entire team. But the blow that the Qingdao High School baseball team brought to their team was too serious!

So much so that many players in their team have a little unbalanced mentality.

Even Chang Xuming, who is an ace, is not exempt from vulgarity.

If Kuramochi had been aggressive in the first place, they would have lost a hitter because of their scrambling.

Seido's attention to Sakurasawa High School is also due to the style and habits of their team. They don't take any opponent lightly, especially one who doesn't know where to pop up out of nowhere.

But this is only based on their habits and traditions.

Players on the Seido High School baseball team, including coaches on the coaching staff.

If someone told them that Sakurasawa High School would pose a huge threat to them during the game and kill their friends from the Seido High School baseball team, they wouldn't believe a word.

But how much Sakurasawa High School attaches importance to Seido is another matter.

When they knew that they were encountering Qingdao, many Sakurasawa High School players knew it in their hearts.

It's very likely that this will be their last game, especially against a few core third-graders.

In this case.

They put out almost all their energy and wisdom to study the opponent in today's game.

They knew very well that Qingdao was the first hitter to play, who was it?

They know better what the consequences will be if they are hit by this guy.

"Let's get a good shot first!"

The day gave a code to his partner.

Seeing the code of the sun, Chang Xuming nodded slightly.

He also knows very well what the responsibilities of their team are now.

In the previous game, Koichiro Tanba, a third-year pitcher on the Seido High School baseball team, gave a good lesson to the friends of Sakurasawa High School.

What is Giant?

That kind of incomparable power, until now, has impressed the friends of Sakurasawa High School.

So much so that they were originally ambitious and wanted to play against the Qingdao High School baseball team.

As a result, as soon as the game began, the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team poured cold water on them.

Tell them with practical actions that they are still far behind......

That gap is by no means something that their level of effort can make up.

That gap, like a moat, was across in front of them.

"We have to get the game back into our rhythm."

Chang Xuming silently admonished himself.

He doesn't plan to just admit defeat, he wants to use practical actions to make the players of the Seido High School baseball team feel it.

Today's game was different from when they bullied the underdogs in the past.

In the words of Mr. Kikukawa, if they can't show that fighting spirit, then no matter how good they are in the game, they don't want to shake a single hair of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

"You have to use your pitch to make them feel that today's game is very different from the previous games."

Chang Xuming, who had a firm inner thought, finally threw the baseball in his hand.

His movements seem to be slow.

O, not seems, is really slow.

Even the stride was a small step, and it didn't go out in one fell swoop like other pitchers.

"It's like a kid playing at home!"

Kuramochi looked at the flying baseball, looked at Chang Xuming's pitching posture, and inexplicably had such a thought in his heart.

He can see the ball clearly.

There is no need for him to swing the bat in advance, he can wait for the baseball to come into his hand before hitting the ball.

If it weren't for what I saw with my own eyes now, it would be really hard for Kuramochi to imagine that the people from Sakurasawa High School would be able to rely on this kind of ball and go all the way to the third round?

Just, it's just a joke.

Kurachi, who had wanted to continue observing, suddenly changed his mind.

He knows very well that the changes in the opponent's pitch are not something that can be seen by simply observing.

In this way, it seems that there is no point in him dragging it out.

If you really want to feel the changes in baseball, you have to hit it with the bat in your hand.

Quirk balls?

In the Qingdao High School baseball team, there happens to be such a pitcher, and the standard is very high.

As a senior in the same dormitory, Kuramochi has no less obligation to teach his younger students to be people.

Because there are enough duels, he knows very well how evil this kind of pitching is.

Honestly, want to play out.

If it weren't for the terrifying swinging ability of Zhang Han or Yuuki, I'm afraid I would have to rely on luck.

If you're lucky, there's a chance you'll hit the ball.

Ordinary people, in the face of this type of pitcher, it seems that there is only one way to think of it.

This is also the reason why Sawamura was able to eat well after entering the Seido High School baseball team.

Of course, there are many duels, and the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team can always sum up some experience.

1

They have to rely on luck to get the ball out.

But that doesn't mean they don't have anything else to think about, nothing else to do.

After a long time of duel, the friends found that they could still use some other methods to improve their probability of hitting the quirk ball.

For example, use the largest bat, for example, to speed up your swing......

In this way, even if you don't hit the center of the ball, you can rely on brute force to sweep the ball out.

Kuramochi, who had prepared in advance, watched the baseball fly over.

When the baseball was about to approach him, he decisively knocked the bat out of his hand.

"Straight to the bat?"

Seeing this scene, he knew that something was going to happen.

"Ping!"

The white baseball was swept away.

When I saw it, my heart was so frightened that it almost jumped out.

It really hit.

Finished!

Just when he was in despair, he was suddenly surprised to find that the white baseball had rolled right in front of their third baseman.

God help!

Amaterasu has appeared!

It's incredible, I didn't expect Lady Luck to be on their side completely today.

"Third base!"

He hurriedly greeted.

The third baseman of Sakurasawa High School is still very backbone compared to those friends who have lost their fighting spirit.

Although he was also very nervous, he hurriedly ran up the first time he saw baseball.

And took the ball into his glove.

"Smack!"

Great, got it!

What should I do next?

The friends of Sakurasawa High School have also experienced a lot of practice before.

Although it has not reached the level of Qingdao High School, such a wealthy family.

But in general defensively, they did a good job.

The third baseman quickly turned his head to aim and passed the ball to first base.

"Cut ......"

In the stands, those supporters of the Seido High School baseball team erupted in regretful sighs.

Unexpectedly, with such bad luck, the baseball just rolled down to the front of the third baseman.

Otherwise, it is absolutely possible to hold the position at the speed of the position.

Kuramochi saw it with the rest of his eyes.

When he saw the opponent's third baseman pass the ball, he was also very angry.

I saw that I was about to succeed, but I didn't expect it......

Although he had a hunch that he might be out, Kuramochi still ran forward non-stop.

Even if there is only a one percent chance, he will never give up fighting.

Not to mention, with such a long-distance pass, even Qingdao High School baseball does not dare to guarantee 100% success for such a giant.

Sakurasawa High School, after all, is only a public university, and they may not be able to stop the canachi.

Baseball flew all the way to the first baseman's glove.

Kuramochi, there are still five or six meters away.

Now, it's completely out of the picture......

Many supporters of the Seido High School baseball team in the stands couldn't bear to see this scene, and even closed their eyes directly.

However, to their surprise, they immediately heard the sound of inhalation coming from around them.

"I'll go!"

"What kind of immortal operation is this?"

When they opened their eyes in surprise, it was clear that they had missed the best part.

Kuramochi had already run to first base and was excitedly raising his hands open.

"Safety!"

Kuramoto, who was about to go out of the game just after the performance, managed to run on first base?

"Did you miss it?"

As veteran baseball fans, they quickly thought of a possibility.

So I couldn't help but ask my companion who came with me.

turned out to be his companion, but he couldn't help laughing.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I didn't know that Sakurasawa High School's pass actually landed when it was about to reach first base."

The baseball bounces off the ground and is caught by the first baseman.

It's a few tenths of a second slower than it goes straight into the glove.

But it was precisely this fraction of a second that gave Kurachi a chance and allowed him to go directly to first base.

On the stand on the side of Sakurasawa High School.

When he heard that his team had entered the third round, the Sakurasawa students who came to watch it couldn't help but pat their brains when they saw this scene.

"I'll just say this kind of thing, and you can fool an opponent like Chiba. If you really encounter a giant like the Qingdao High School baseball team, it won't be of any use at all. ”

Fujio, a reporter from Baseball Kingdom Magazine who came to watch the game, rushed to the baseball stadium out of breath and happened to see this scene happening.

Hearing someone complain, he also nodded.

Sakurasawa practiced touching the ground once and then catching the ball according to his own strength.

When dealing with ordinary opponents, this kind of shortcoming may not be visible.

On the contrary, it may increase their momentum because they can reach the place they want every time.

But playing against Qingdao High School baseball, the country's top giant, this kind of shortcoming is simply too bad.

The gap in details shows the gap in strength.

With such a huge gap in strength between the two sides, it may not be easy for the players from Sakurasawa High School to make a difference in the next competition.
