Chapter Twenty-Four: The Offensive and Defensive Battle of the Saigo War
It's almost a duel between tenths of a second.
Saigo High School successfully broke through the garrison of Seido High School and scored a point for the team without needing to be out, and, not only that, but the runner of Saigo High School, who originally went from second base to third base, saw Tanaka's running speed at the third base running instructor, and Inoue senior's waiting posture, and continued to shake his arms very decisively, risky base indication.
In a situation that no one expected.
The scene of the runner on second base quickly bypassing third base and going straight to home plate made the senior of the third baseman Dongqingguo couldn't help but show a look of anger on his face.
"Who gave you such courage!?"
"Runners steal bases!!"
Very tough offensive posture.
That bold offensive method.
"Oh oh oh
It was also a success, and once again made the audience exclaim.
For this adventurous move by Saigo High School.
And the shock was endless.
However, this is a courageous move after all, and this offensive behavior is undoubtedly a suicidal choice.
At the moment when the shouts of the third baseman Dong Qingguo's seniors sounded, the Zhe team, who had already received the ball, quickly waved his arm without thinking and threw the ball in his hand in the direction of home plate.
"Whoosh"
Want to hope for a mistake at Seido High School to steal the base!?
So, Seido High School will only tell you that it is impossible to give you a second chance, and if you want to dream, then go home and sleep!!
Flashing ball shadows.
Galloping figure.
"Smack"
There are several moments when the runner is several positions away from home plate.
Chris senior at home base was already firmly in the ball sleeve, and the sudden turn made the runner who wanted to steal home plate look very different, and quickly turned his head and turned over in an attempt to return to third base.
"Kill him, Chris!!"
But he met the surging predecessors of the Eastern Qing Kingdom.
"Out!!"
Saigo High School's runner on second base eventually paid the price for his risky move and was caught in the middle of the third base line.
"What a bunch of idiots!!"
On the third base, in the bench of Xixiang High School, Superintendent Ximen couldn't help but curse in his heart.
There is a limit to how bold you are.
That distance.
That speed.
Still wanting to steal home plate, Simon Supervisor was speechless at the obvious unconceivable choice of his players, which in itself was a good situation.
The runner at third base successfully returns home plate to score.
The hitter is not out yet.
It will still be a situation where no one is out, and there are people at first and third base, Xixiang High School could have relied on the gourd to draw a scoop, and in the next play, according to the script, to threaten the defense line of Qingdao High School, this is good, the third base runner is out, so that Xixiang High School, which can be said to be a big advantage, has been weakened too much in an instant.
Rao is so, this tough offensive posture of Saigo High School still left a deep impression on the audience, and the senior Inoue who returned to the pitcher's mound was even more apprehensive, if he just made a mistake, missed the ball, or blasted when passing to first base, wouldn't he have to lose two points steadily?
At this moment, Inoue's senior's gaze at Saigo High School also flashed with an extremely heavy look of jealousy.
"Go and get Tanba ready to play."
On the first base side, in the bench of Seido High School.
Superintendent Kataoka's expression remained unchanged, and he whispered to Kusunoki Fumiya on the side.
"Yes!"
Nanmu replied immediately, and after putting on his hat, he trotted towards the cowshed next to the court.
Shigerino's eyes, which were standing behind Kataoka's supervisor, flashed slightly.
"Inoue's seniors are still too conservative to vote...
Almost at the same time.
Shigerino Shin and Miyuki in the stands had the same thought in their hearts at the same time.
Miyuki is even thinking about how to match Inoue's seniors at this moment, if he is on the court.
"It's a pity, Xixiang High School, almost got two points."
"In my opinion, this is complete stupidity, how can you run back to home plate at that distance? Unless there is a mistake in the guarding of Seido High School, is it possible? Known as the fastest base in the country, Bailong High School, the average time of a single base bag is also 4.1 seconds, I don't dare to choose so, this runner in Xixiang High School, and that base running instructor, is completely a brain-hot choice. ”
"Well, that's what makes high school baseball interesting, and sometimes it's fun to fight in the form of gambling like this."
"That being said, but losing the big advantage of having someone on third base, it won't be so easy for Saigo High School to continue scoring to narrow the gap and recover the disadvantage."
"That guy in Inoue is still too conservative."
"It can only be said that Xixiang High School had no problem with the command in the first half of the race, and also seized the opportunity, but unfortunately, he lost half of his advantage."
"It depends on how Xixiang High School chooses next."
Of course, he got the number of outs from the runner at third base, but it was obviously because of the opponent's reckless move, after losing a point, there were runners on the base, and then it was still the upper line, Chris senior did not hesitate to ask for a timeout here, and trotted to the pitcher's mound.
"Senior Inoue, the advantage is still completely in our hands, don't be too able to suppress it, let go of a little bit to pitch, in terms of strength, we still have to be stronger than the other party."
Chris covered his mouth with his hand and whispered to Inoue on the pitcher's mound.
"The opponent should aim for the inside of the ball to shoot, and then the outside corner is the center to match the ball, Inoue Senpai."
"Ah, I understand, Chris."
Inoue exhaled slightly and said to Chris in a deep voice.
Just as other people can see the problems of Inoue's seniors, Inoue's seniors are actually quite clear about the problems that exist in their own bodies.
However, Inoue Senpai has no way to correct this problem, because he is afraid that change will lead him to make bigger mistakes.
In that case, it is better to maintain the current state, this situation.
For Inoue seniors, it is within his control.
To do your best, to guide the pitcher, this is the catcher's duty, and it is also what the catcher must do, however, no matter which catcher, when facing a pitcher like Koji Inoue, there will be a very helpless feeling in his heart.
You can't deny that a pitcher's prudence is a mistake.
There are countless examples of shooting and losing the game because of carelessness, and you can't ask a pitcher whose personality is originally a steady type to completely let go of the fight, Chris senior has done his best to cooperate with Inoue senior, and wants to release the upper limit of Inoue senior's strength as much as possible.
As far as a catcher is concerned.
Chris's seniors have already done everything he can.
