"I was really saved by you, Shigero, otherwise I might have lost two more points from that blow just now."

Thanba, who had also just returned to home plate, also took off the brim of his hat, looked at Shigeru with a gentle smile, and said very sincerely.

Although he was very envious of his junior.

has always vowed in his heart to catch up with this junior.

But the same.

Tanba is also very respectful, very trusting, and very grateful to the ace of his own apprentice in front of him.

Because of his existence.

Only then will their own team be able to reach the top of the country in the spring.

Also because of his existence.

I am enough to grow now.

These are facts that exist in substance, not in illusion.

"No, it was Tamba's senior who suppressed the hitter, otherwise it would be difficult for me to catch this ball."

Shigeno smiled lightly and said softly.

"Tanba, the pitching itself is good, but the overall rhythm is not well controlled, there are still too rough places, these are the things you have to pay attention to, today's game was also a very good experience, I hope you can take this as a warning."

Obviously, it could be a game that could have been completed, but it almost overturned at the end, which naturally has the reason that Sagara High School has proper tactics and abundant strength, but there are also reasons why Tanba himself is not cautious and delicate enough to pitch his ball.

If he just wants to be a good pitcher, Tanba can naturally be satisfied with the present, but if he wants to grow further and squeeze into the ranks of the real top level, then in every detail, Tanba must do better and more delicately.

It is also because of this, and also because there are such requirements and pursuits.

Superintendent Kataoka said this to Koichiro Tanba with such a stern expression at this time.

"Yes, Overseer! I understand. ”

Tanba Koichiro also immediately straightened up and answered in a loud voice.

"Hmm."

Hear Tamba's answer.

Superintendent Kataoka's expression also softened slightly, and the turned gaze fixed on Shigerun.

"The final game, Shigerun, will be handed over to you, as an ace, you go and take them down!"

"Yes, Overseer!"

Shigeru Ye raised his head slightly, and the expression on his face also became extremely solemn, and he responded aloud at the same time.

Not to mention that Danbo, who has just been blasted out of the hit, has been somewhat defeated in terms of momentum and spirit, let's just say that in terms of body, it has almost reached 120 balls, and in terms of physical strength, Tanbo has also reached the limit, if the game just now can still be suppressed with zero points as before, then with the momentum bonus, in the last game, Tanbo can still go on the court to suppress, but in the current state, even if it is a lower line, the risk of Tanbo continuing to throw is still too high.

Case.

Then switching votes is a matter of course.

And the candidate for the debut, there is no doubt that it must be the ace Shigeno Shin.

Forget about the new double pitch in the first grade.

In this situation, it is not appropriate for a first-year pitcher to come on the field.

It's easy to get into trouble.

So, the only option can only be Shigerano Nobu (Kawakami: ???? ）

This is also the agreement that Kataoka Supervisor and Ochiai Hiromitsu have just reached, or it should be said that if Shigeno didn't catch the blow just now, but was bombarded out, then, it must have been changed in advance, and it was chased one after another, and Seido High School, which was the leading side, also had to bear unnecessary pressure, which was especially obvious in the final matchup, and Kataoka Inspector was not willing to try this kind of unnecessary risk for his own team.

Win the game in the most reliable and secure way.

That's the best choice.

"The score of five to two, as well as the attack of the last game, the three-point difference, is also a score within the shooting range, but, Qingdao High School is afraid that Sagara High School will not give Sagara High School any chance...

Koshien Field, near the front stands of the third base bench.

Feng Fujifu shook his small black iron fan, looked in the direction of the bench seat of Qingdao High School with a look of emotion, and said softly.

"Huh? Why? Peak Fusang? ”

Owada Akiko on the side didn't react at once, and looked at his seniors in a little ignorance, and asked in a slightly raised tone.

"Let's not mention that Qingdao still has two rounds of attacks, even if Matsuoka-kun can suppress it, the final game of the garrison, Qingdao High School will definitely send Shigerun-kun, use the strongest combat power of his own team to block the possible final attack of Sagara High School, and play the line in the lower position, or face Shigerun-kun, Sagara High School may not find any chance to break through."

"Huh!?"

It should be said that it is not only Mine Fujifu who thinks so.

On the entire Koshien court, as long as people with a little vision can naturally see that Tanba has reached the limit, even if it is not to the limit, from the perspective of the situation, the final game is not suitable for Tanba to continue to cast, referring to the battle between Qingdao and Uhisamori in the original book, Xiaoya lost four points in one breath in the eighth game, and was completely suppressed by the opponent in terms of momentum, even if Tsuiya is a trump card, he can continue to vote, and it is impossible for Kataoka to let Tsumiya continue to cast, and the current situation is the same.

On the other hand, Superintendent Koizumi is also familiar with this, and his expression is simply as cold as he is.

In fact, it turned out that in the first half of the eighth game, Shigerino's supernatural guard, and the attack of Sagara High School, which was stubbornly blocked, was a heavy blow to Sagara High School's momentum.

Even the ace is rarely shaken.

"In the bottom half of the eighth inning, Seido High School's attack, fourth baseman, first baseman, Yuuki-kun."

Not to mention in the second half of this eighth inning.

He also has to face a strong attack from Qingdao High School's clearance sequence.

This is for Sagara High School.

It was undoubtedly a more difficult defensive situation.

Matsuoka Kairen, who wants to stabilize the situation and let his team retain the last glimmer of hope, but his mentality has been unstable, and his pitching has been difficult to play as steadily as in the previous innings.

"Huh"

"Pong"

After two bad balls in the outside corner in a row.

The outer corner curve ball projected by the third ball has a slightly inward trajectory.

The Zhe team in the striking zone did not hesitate to swing the bat.

The figure that stepped out suddenly swung a metal bat.

Bombarded the ball quickly onto the deep turf in the left field.

The figure that easily stepped on the second base bag.

Once again, it created a great opportunity for Seido High School to score additional points.

No one is out, there are people on second base.

In a situation that was already completely desperate, it was hit hard again.

This further hit the Matsuoka Kaito on the pitcher's hill and dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the entire Sagara High School team.

And then in the face of Shigerino's seat.

The people of Matsuoka are already powerless to carry out the pressure.

That was obviously a pitch from Jingyuan.

"Smack"

"Bad Ball"

"Four bad balls, escort."

Sent Shigerino to first base.

Even though Matsuoka has been forcing himself to regroup and stabilize the situation, it is difficult for the completely shaken garrison and the flawed formation to really block the offensive of Seido High School.

In the eighth bat, Tamba's stabbing moment.

Kominato Haru City, 1st grade.

It was also sent to the strike zone by Superintendent Kataoka in the form of a substitute fight.

Successfully took a right field front hit from Matsuoka.

In the second half of the eighth inning.

Matsuoka Kaito dropped two points again.

The score difference was once again pulled back to five points by Qingdao High School.

And when it came to the final game, it was time to defend it.
