A slider that rotates and changes at high speed.

Especially the top-down refraction curve, Harada Masako himself has done his best to predict the refraction arc of this ball, and it is still difficult to react in advance, unless he is ready to slide the ball at the beginning.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to respond effectively to such a large refraction.

The most important thing is that he actually threw a slippery ball on the first ball, so that Harada can fully feel the deterrent power from the Qingdao throw.

At home base, Harada struggled, and on the base, Carl Ross was even more difficult to walk.

Once the hitter is unable to attract the full attention of the caster.

Even if the runner is a being like Carl Ross, it is not easy to find the time to steal the base.

It's just that Carl Ross is equally clear.

If you don't do it yourself, you will lose your last chance.

And that's it.

Masako Harada, who was in the strike zone, also knew it very well.

The sights that quietly converged in the air.

On the third base side, in the rice bench seat.

The expression of the superintendent of the national friend also became more cold at this moment.

"Second goal! Shoot a straight ball from the outside corner to the same spot as the ball you just slided, Ashin. ”

At home plate, Miyuki didn't bother with Harada and Carl Ross's thoughts, and just played the ball steadily at his own pace.

"Hmm!"

Shigero, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, also nodded slightly, a sharp color flowing between his eyebrows.

Sure enough, the right arm was raised.

Aiming in the direction of home plate, he shook it suddenly.

"Huh"

The flashes of light and shadow.

It has just emerged in the sky.

Carl Rose, who was near the base bag, was ruthless.

The figure that quickly galloped towards second base.

"Steal the base!"

Team Zhe's expression changed, and the high-pitched words sounded.

It also made Shigero's expression on the pitcher's mound even colder.

No control is required.

The purest burst of power!

There was a violent cracking sound.

Assault Ball Light.

Running figure.

At this moment, it shines on the court.

And Masakoto Harada, who was in the strike zone, was also the center of gravity of his body that was sinking rapidly.

Now it's time to do it!

Then there is no need to leave any room for yourself!

"No, it's a run-and-run!"

The same thought that came to everyone's minds at that moment.

It's just a moment.

"Boom!"

Footsteps that slammed forward.

The roar of the explosion was accompanied by the dust that was stirring up.

"Whew!!"

Masako Harada swung his metal bat vigorously.

I want to break the defense!

It is necessary to have the determination to break the kettle.

The frontal attack waved upwards of the black, and met the white ball shadow that rushed in.

Less than 0.5 seconds of a confrontation.

"Pong!!"

White and black shadows slammed into each other.

A violent roar rang out.

"Succeed...

It was only a moment of joy on his face, but in the next moment, he felt the oppressive force on the palm of his hand, and the sense of deviation that did not grasp the center of the ball, which made Harada Masako's face extremely difficult to see.

Pure destructive power.

It's a blow that was simply suppressed by Shigerun's straight ball.

"Huh"

The uncontrollable blow, the shadow of the ball that flew out upside down.

"Bang"

"Oooo

The blow was intertwined with the exclamations of the crowd.

Slammed into the right side of the pitcher's mound (toward home plate).

Shigeruna's figure quickly flew towards his left.

"Walk through it for me!!"

Harada, who had already thrown away the bat and ran towards first base, shouted loudly in his heart at this moment.

"Smack!"

Pity!

This is a blow that did not grasp the center of the ball, and was suppressed by Shigerun's ball power, whether it is the depth of the hit or the height of the ejection, it is not enough to pass through the Qingdao guard, land, and the arc that catapults out again just fell in Shigerun's ball sleeve.

A quick turn.

"Huh"

Shigeno flicked the ball in his hand toward first base.

"Smack"

Even on the other side, Carl Ross had managed to get to second base, but unfortunately, Harada had barely run half the way to base.

That's the shadow of the ball that was firmly caught in the ball sleeve by the Zhe team.

"Out."

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."

The referee's words rang out in a loud and high-pitched manner.

It was Harada who had no choice but to stop his steps.

There are no bells and whistles, it is the most direct, the most pure force suppression, this pure destructive power that cannot be described in ordinary words.

Daocheng Industrial High School couldn't help but lose its voice.

"You've never stepped on that peak, so you don't know what you can see when you stand in that position, what you need to stand in that position, this year is different from last year, even you, Ming, don't want to take the victory from our Qingdao here!!"

Standing proudly on the pitcher's mound, Shigerno Shin, who looked down at Narimiya Ming who was in the strike preparation area at a high angle, just the extremely cold eyes revealed the meaning, which also made Cheng Gongming's face rarely reveal a hideous look.

"Don't get complacent too soon! Letter!! ”

Gaze at each other.

The determination shown, in this final, the two aces are already full of firepower in the real sense.

Fifth inning.

Again, it was the turn of Qingdao to play the lower line.

The first striker is Miyuki Kazuya who is a catcher.

It should be said that as the player who is most familiar with Narumiya Naruto in the Qingdao team, except for Shigerun, Miyuki still has some understanding of some of Narumiya's habits, or it should be said that the pitching personality determined by personality.

At the moment when the team's overall tactics are to strategically abandon the speed ball and hit according to the rhythm of the straight ball, enter the mid-game duel, plus the speed ball of Nari Miyaya in front of him is too much, and Miyuki believes that it is necessary to make certain tactical target adjustments here (this is also allowed by Kataoka Superintendent, the practice of Qingdao High School, in Kataoka's words, it is the players who play on the field after all, and the general strategy and tactics are to be formulated by the coach, but the on-the-spot judgment must be handed over to the players themselves, otherwise in the original book, According to Superintendent Kataoka's orders, if he obeyed the command so firmly, the Tetsu team must have been knocked out by three strikes, and it was impossible to have a two-point timely hit to overtake. ）

In the mid-game situation of this duel between the front and back half.

Change the target to aim for the speed ball, and use the attack to achieve the goal of defeating Cheng Gong Ming.

That's what Miyuki thinks, and that's what he does.

"The first half of the fifth inning, the attack of Seido High School, the seventh bat, the catcher, Miyuki-kun"

So when it sets foot in the strike zone.

Deliberately let his position deviate a little.

I gave the first goal in the eye

"Smack"

"Good shot!"

"Huh"

"Huh"

"Bang"

"Out of bounds!!"

After the slider of the second ball is blasted out of bounds.

The third ball of the change of speed!

It stands to reason.

In a standby situation like Miyuki, it can be bombarded firmly.

Daoshi also categorically did not expect that the Qingdao line, which was still very stubborn in front and attacked according to the direct rhythm, changed the target in vain here.
