There is no way to change the situation.

Qingdao High School, which lost a point again by the sudden offensive, is still a situation where there are people on first and second bases, Qingdao High School is already stepping on the edge of the cliff with one foot, in this case, even though the senior Inoue on the pitcher's mound has an extremely strong psychological quality, he can still force himself to calm down at this time, but the inner wavering is real, and Qingdao High School is already facing the time to make a choice.

It is also an extremely critical moment.

The figure of Superintendent Kataoka, who stepped out of the bench, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Especially when the young man who trotted from the direction of the cowshed stopped beside Kataoka, the audience, not only on the Seido High School side, but also on the Inami High School side, the pupils of the supporters on the Inami High School side flashed a different kind of luster.

Seido High School, 1st grade pitcher, back number 11 - Nobu Shigerano!!

And it was also at the moment when he saw the slender figure of the young man, on the pitcher mound, the pupils of the senior Inoue suddenly contracted, and the eyes slowly closed, and a ray of pain flashed in them.

The action of lowering the brim of the hat is as if trying to shrink this complex emotion in my heart.

"The notice of the change of Seido High School players, substitution, eight bats, Inoue-kun played, pitcher, Shigerun-kun, eight-bat, pitcher, Shigeruno-kun."

The sound of the radio resounded over the stadium.

This is also evidenced by this.

In the second half of this fourth inning, Seido High School, no, or should I say, Superintendent Kataoka finally gave up the ace pitcher very decisively.

On the court, the third-year seniors on the bench all showed disbelief expressions.

Even the Dongqing seniors on the third base bag showed a complicated look in their pupils.

A teammate who has been fighting together for two and a half years.

But on the stage of the finals, he ended up in this way.

Dong Qingguo's heart was suddenly at this time, as if there was an indescribable emotion, blocked in it, and a sense of grievance that could not be vented.

"Is Qingdao really going to give up the trump card?"

"There's no way around it, it's been completely targeted, the key is that I'm still missing."

"It's so hard to play the line in the lower position, alas...

"It was mainly the home run in the first inning, which made the situation itself a little worse, not to mention the subsequent offense."

"One person is out, there are people on first and second base, and in this situation, replacing a first-year pitcher, it should be said that Kataoka is also a quite bold choice."

"Who else else can you choose? Tamba in the second grade? Forget it, Tanba-kun has one more year of experience than Shigerun-kun, right? What about the others? It's not as good as Shigerun, besides, this summer, Shigerino-kun has played much more times in front of him than Tanba-kun, it should be said, this is the only choice expected!! ”

"That's what I said...

"The key is this game, whether Shigerun-kun can hold on."

"The timing of the follow-up is not very good, if the follow-up fails, this game will be decided here."

The announcement of the change of players was broadcast on the radio, and the figure of Shigerino Nobu, who looked solemn in front of the bench and obeyed Kataoka's supervision, came into everyone's eyes.

The entire Jingu stadium resounded with a cacophony of discussions.

And it's also in the moment of synchronization.

On the side of the third base, in the bench of Daocheng Industrial High School, he was looking at the indifferent blue and white figure of the young man not far away.

Cheng Gongming's pupils flashed with a blood-red brilliance.

Clenched hands into fists.

"Hmph, are you still going to play!? Shigerun!! ”

It was like a beast roaring like a whispering words, and the moment he saw Maoye, Cheng Gongming's body was irrepressibly exuding a faint aura of terror.

Carl Ross shrugged his shoulders with a knowing smile on his face.

Also as a Karl Ross who knew Narimiya Ming when he was in junior high school and accepted Narumiya's invitation to come to Inagi Industry together, he also knows very well the fate between Narumiya and Shigerano Shin.

No, it might be more appropriate to call it a bad fate.

Looking at the small broken steps running towards the pitcher's mound, Shigerno Shin.

Carl Ross couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart at this time.

Maybe the next two and a half years.

The whole of Tokyo, and indeed the entire Kanto region, will be a stage for these two pitchers to compete with each other.

Regardless of the suspicious gaze of others, he didn't care about the inquiring gaze of Inami High School.

Shigerano raised his head, his eyes looking straight ahead with a calm and clear gaze, and the trotting in the direction of the pitcher's mound was extremely firm and powerful.

The stage of the finals.

The team must be saved from a crisis situation.

"It's a difficult situation, but I'll leave it to you, Shigerun."

What surrounded Shigerun's ears was Inspector Kataoka's deep words, and what was imprinted in the depths of his heart was Inspector Kataoka's trusting gaze.

Anyway, no matter what you say.

I definitely have to pull the team back from this crisis.

I definitely have to win the final of this summer tournament!!

An extremely dazzling golden halo appeared in his pupils.

Stepping on the pitcher's hill, Shigerino's stubborn and resolute face suddenly met the eyes of the seniors near the pitcher's hill, as if they were infected by Shigero's atmosphere.

Inoue bit his lower lip lightly, and slowly but firmly handed the ball in his hand to Shigerun.

"As a senior, I need your juniors to clean up the mess, and I'm really disqualified, but I can trust you, Shigero, please, lead the team to win, from now on, you are the ace of the team!!"

The eyes that were holding back tears, the lips that were too hard and slightly oozing blood.

The look on the pupils of the seniors such as Dong Qingguo and Asama who were standing on the side became more and more hideous.

The solemn look on Shigerano's face also became more and more intense.

Deep words rang out.

The embodiment of the strong will and self-confidence of the youth.

"Yes!!"

The back of Inoue seniors, who walked down the pitcher's mound and paced in the direction of the bench, seemed to have become much more rickety at this time.

This back was reflected in Shigerano's eyes.

The conviction in Shigerano's heart became more and more firm.

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely can't let the summer of the seniors end here, even if it's just one more day, to bring this group of best seniors into that holy place.

To continue the last summer of this group of predecessors!!

A figure standing proudly.

When Shigerinoshin looked up, a cold glow bloomed in his pupils.

It's so sharp.

The aura emanating from his body is so sharp.

"Shigerun."

Senior Chris looked at Shigerino Shin in front of him gently, and whispered out the words, which didn't need too many words, just an expression, a look.

can make Shigeno Shin quickly understand the meaning of Chris's predecessor's expression.

"Yes, Chris-senpai, I understand!!"

Shigerino Nobu lifted the brim of his hat and replied in an imposing voice.
