The first is to take advantage of the disadvantage of lack of experience in valley reduction.

Lay out the bait for an inside corner.

Then use the curveball from the outside corner to get the strikeouts of the valley.

And then it goes.

At the mat of Hakushu.

Use the inside float ball to make Hakushu appear in the strike gap.

Then on the inside corner kick forced Baizhou to force a bat, barely bombarded out of the ball, just pulled in front of the left fielder, the point is too shallow, the ball flew fast enough, was caught by the left fielder of Yurong High School, and won the number of catches.

And then, it was the turn of the second round of Qingdao High School to play the upper line.

"First bat, guerrilla, Kuramochi-kun."

"This is the second round, and it won't be like the last round."

Kuramochi licked his lips, clenched the metal bat in his hand harder and harder, and strode into the strike zone.

"Remember, in the second round, aim for the low ball to hit, don't be afraid of being strikeouts, remember!?"

This is before the game,Kataoka supervisor and Ochiai Hiromitsu gave tactical instructions to the people in the bench Qingdao High School,In the first round of blows,Even if there is no actual gain,But at least Sato Yoshikei's ball path start trajectory,There is already a rough bottom,So,In this second round,Belong to their team's mid-game attack,The best target is naturally the low ball road,Even if you don't knock out the hit,You have to use this way to keep the opponent guarding,Especially the opponent's shooting pressure,Mistakes on the court, Even if it is caused by its own subjective accidents, it is also unconsciously committed by being pressed by the other party, what Qingdao High School wants to do and what it wants to achieve is to use such an offensive rhythm and method to squeeze the living space of Yurong High School.

"Sa! Come on, flat man! Look at Uncle Ben knocking out one here for you to see!! ”

Kuramori's expression became extremely fierce.

“playball！”

Reflecting the high-pitched words that fell.

Kuramochi suddenly raised his metal bat in the air.

The wave of air that erupted.

"Boom."

"Huh"

Accompanied by the rising waves.

Suddenly.

An aurora that emerges in mid-air.

Suddenly he came to home plate.

Shining light and shadow.

Straight into home plate.

"Huh"

A metal bat swinging heavily.

Staggered moments in mid-air.

A small ball that is refracted in it completely avoids the interception of the black shadow that comes out of the way.

"Smack"

"Good shot!"

“！！”

In Kurachi's suddenly constricted pupils.

Behind him sounded the high-pitched ruling words of the presiding judge.

"First goal! The angle of the tricky inside floating, the hitter Kurachi-kun made a tough stick, failed to intercept it, a good ball!! ”

Is it the first ball!? It's only the third game to change the match!?

That's just the goal.

The faces of Shigero, Miyuki, and Chris who were on the bench changed slightly.

It's normal for a shooting to change the ball, but it's a bit unusual to change the pace so quickly.

"Idiot guys, it's the second round, how can I easily give you a chance to catch the ball!?"

It seems that he can see through the meaning of the expression in the expression of Kamikurachi in the strike zone.

Yoshikei Sato's chin was slightly raised, and the mocking look in his pupils loomed.

"Second ball!"

"Huh"

"Not good! It's a bad ball! ”

"Huh"

"Pong!!"

"Bang"

"Out of bounds!!"

From straight balls to changing balls, from good balls to bad balls, Yu Rong High School, who took the initiative to slow down the tempo, threw and captured, but instead made Qingdao High School like a clenched fist, smashing a punch into the air, and Kuramochi, who was chased by two good balls, also showed an extremely aggrieved look.

It hasn't had time to adjust yet.

"Third goal!"

"Huh"

The straight ball in the center of the decisive game, which changed direction to the decisive victory, seemed to be responding to such a strong pitch in front of the valley.

"Smack!"

"Good shot, hitter out!!"

Before Kuramochi could react, the ball that jumped in completely killed the space for Kuramochi to react and the possibility of counterattacking.

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."

The ruling words that fell again, and the one that didn't drag the pitcher mound back to Yoshiyoshi Sato's bench in the slightest.

"How can it be repaired! Next time! I'm definitely going to bombard it next time! ”

Kuramochi bit his lower lip hard, and the look on his face became very aggressive

This feeling of being played around is not comfortable at all.

I have to say.

The defensive performances of both sides in the first round of the first three games more or less shocked the spectators in the stands.

Qingdao High School naturally didn't mention it.

Even the third-year Tamba did not appear in this game, but only arranged a first-year pitcher to start, and also achieved the first three innings of the complete suppression, no hits, no runners.

On the other hand, it was expected that Yu Rong High School did not lose points, but only one hit by Seongdo bombarded suppressed other Seido hitters, including Yuki and Shigerun, which was still a little surprising to the audience.

Neither team has much to do offensively.

But they all showed the solidity of their respective garrisons in terms of garrison.

made the audience's expectations for the next second round of offensive and defensive battles higher. On the first base side, in front of the Seido High School bench.

"Yu Xing, down the valley, in this game, you have to be more cautious with the ball and pitching."

Superintendent Kataoka stretched out a finger and said with a very solemn expression.

"Don't worry too much about each hitter, every number of outs, get it? Valley? ”

In particular, when he focused on the valley, there was an implicit warning in those words.

Even the valley can be heard very clearly.

The expression that was still a little natural also subconsciously became a little severe, and his right hand clenched even harder, straightened his body, nodded heavily, and replied loudly.

"Yes, Overseer, I understand."

"Hmm."

Superintendent Kataoka also bowed his head slightly.

It's still an ungrown, incomplete posture.

In many places, it looks extremely rough.

However, Superintendent Kataoka can be confident that this is a rough stone that will surely shine brilliantly in the future.

All that is needed is more grinding.

Before Sawamura Eijun hadn't really shown his trump card potential and presence.

The current Akira Shibuyani is undoubtedly the best ace candidate for his own team in the eyes of Supervisor Kataoka and Hiromitsu Ochiai, and his style is extremely similar to Shigerun, and the closest successor can quickly integrate into the tactical system of Qingdao High School.

Even after Shigeno retired next year, Supervisor Kataoka and Hiromitsu Ochiai believed that Shibuyani would be enough to lead Seido High School to Koshien once again and fight for national supremacy.

The tempering of the current weak period is all for better growth and to strive for his own place in the future.

"Sa! It's the second round, cheer up mentally, and stop them in this round. ”

"Oh oh oh oh !!"
