Chapter Twenty-Three: The Advance of the Battle of Xixiang
Seido High School's Crisis, Saigo High School's Opportunity.
After a fierce battle of half a game, Saigo High School finally seized such an opportunity, and it will never be easily let go, the captain of Saigo High School in the strike zone, Tanaka, is staring at the pitcher mound with a solemn expression, the metal bat tightly clutched in the palm of his hand, the position close to the home plate, and the runner who is about to move on the third base, Uchino can score one point, and if he passes through, he may lose two points, and Inoue senior is also feeling a lot of pressure at this time.
"Boom!"
The left leg that was raised up, the right arm that was raised high, and the small ball held in the palm of the right hand, with the step that stepped forward, the right arm shook suddenly.
"Huh"
A little cold light jumped out at this moment, galloping towards the direction of home plate not far away, the dazzling laser flickered to the home plate, the tricky ball path that broke in, Tanaka on the strike area looked awe-inspiring, the pupils reflected the trajectory of the ball, the body moved sideways, the step out, and the metal bat that was lowered shook suddenly.
"Huh"
In an instant, a terrifying sonic boom sounded.
A dancing metal bat.
The sound of violent wind pressure suddenly roared.
The sudden white shadow, the metal bat that slammed in.
"Pong!!"
Ghosts colliding together.
The piercing and high-pitched roar instantly resounded throughout the court.
In the eye-catching eyes of many audiences.
"Huh"
The ball that bounced out and smashed hard in the direction of the boundary line of third base.
"Bang"
There was a loud slamming sound on the ground.
The ball flew out and landed outside the boundary line.
"Out of bounds!!"
It's already completely up to the straight ball of Inoue's predecessors.,Should I say it's really a strong school in East Tokyo? In the fourth game, he caught such a meticulous hitting path.
Senior Chris took a deep breath and thought silently in his heart.
In the third base bench.
Superintendent Simon also made a code to the players of Saigo High School on the court at this time, Tanaka in the strike area, and the runners on the base pack all touched the brim of their hats with understanding, this action also made the heart of Chris's seniors at home plate slightly awe-inspiring.
Obviously, the other party is going to make a move.
"Then, the second ball, a straight ball high in the outside corner, this ball can be thrown a little bit off."
At home plate, Chris senior's ball sleeve shook slightly, placed in the position of the outside corner, and almost at the moment of synchronization, Inoue seniors quickly raised his arm, and the arm that suddenly waved down, galloped out.
"Huh"
Shimmering in the sky.
Tanaka's pupils in the strike zone suddenly stared, staring at the trajectory of the incoming ball, and the bat, which was about to be shaken, stopped at the last moment.
"Smack"
"Bad ball!!"
Didn't swing the bat!?
"Then look at this ball."
Senior Chris moved his right hand lightly underneath.
"Whoosh"
The arm on the pitcher's mound that was raised again.
"Huh"
"Pong!!"
"Bang"
"Out-of-bounds!!"
The ball is a little inward and swings the bat? Is this guy aiming for an inside corner!?
Subtle differences.
The difference in details was quickly captured by Chris's predecessors.
Aiming is easier to knock out a long inside corner straight ball than the outside corner, especially when you are familiar with the ball path of Inoue seniors, which is indeed a very reasonable and correct choice for Saigo High School.
"In this case, here, you need to change the rhythm to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm."
At home plate, a wistful look flashed in Chris's senior's pupils, and he thought silently in his heart.
Come to think of it.
Chris's predecessor did not hesitate to draw the code of the jet ball here.
Take the initiative to increase the tempo of the attack.
Catch the beaters off guard.
Don't let the hitter easily seize the timing and angle of swinging the bat.
That's what you should do as a catcher, and that's what it's all about.
"The jet ball in the inner corner, wave your arms thoroughly, Inoue-senpai, you have to stop the opponent's momentum here."
At home plate, Chris backslapped the ground with his sleeve and gently moved his inward position.
The senior Inoue on the pitcher's mound nodded more and more solemnly.
"It needs to be more cautious, it needs to be a little more cautious."
The pitching style that goes deep into the bone marrow constantly warns Inoue seniors in his heart, the suddenly raised left leg, the straight body, and the small ball tightly held in the palm of his hand.
With that footstep forward.
"Huh"
The right arm dances suddenly.
A dazzling white light danced on the fingertips of Inoue's seniors, and in a moment, it quickly flashed out, and sped away in the direction of home plate.
Just when the ball was about to fly out.
"Dada!!"
On the strike zone, Tanaka, a batter from Xixiang High School, quickly bent down and put on a short shot, which made the face of the senior Chris on the side suddenly change, and at the same time, the figure that suddenly started from the third base bag raised a burst of dust, and the Dongqingguo senior on the third base bag suddenly shouted loudly: "Runner start!! ”
"Forced points!?"
Saigo High School didn't hesitate to start and sprint.
The audience couldn't help but let out an irrepressible exclamation, and everyone seemed surprised that Saigo High School made such a decisive choice at this time!!
Saigo High School is determined to get a general momentum.
Shigerano Shin and the others in the bench seat of Qingdao High School all showed a look of shock.
Superintendent Kataoka frowned slightly at this time.
Damn, did you choose to force a point after two good goals!?
At home plate, Chris bit his lip tightly, and a look of anger appeared on his face.
"Whoosh"
"Huh"
"Pong!"
There is no ball speed of a straight ball, and there is no ball power and tail momentum that a straight ball should have.
Saigo High School has just the right ability to seize opportunities.
Aimed at the incoming change ball, and hit the soul with one shot.
The ball and the bat collided with precision, and Tanaka's arms shook slightly, and all the ball power on the ball was removed intact, and his arms swung gently.
"Huh"
Bounce the ball out with precision.
"Bang"
The projectile, which was neither light nor heavy, landed on the surface and rolled along the boundary line of the first base.
"Pass the first base directly, and the inoue captain."
Sprinting figure.
The persecuted runners.
There is no need to turn his head, Chris seniors can clearly judge that it is absolutely too late to block the runner at home plate, and the best option here is to pass directly to first base and get the number of outs that should be taken.
It's just a pity that Saigo High School obviously had a premeditated attack.
Even if Inoue Senpai was already running down the pitcher's mound to deal with the ball very quickly.
However, Saigo High School's offense was much faster.
"Huh"
"Smack"
"Da!"
On the occasion of the small ball in response.
Tanaka's figure has already set foot in the base.
"Safe base!!"
There is no stagnation at all.
The words that the first base judge quickly spread out his hands and shouted loudly made the faces of everyone in Qingdao High School present change.
