Chapter Ninety-Six: The So-Called Top Catcher (Part 3)

PS: Three chapters are still owed.

It's a pity that a bad state is a bad state.

No matter how good the change ball is, as long as the straight ball is not in place, then, the hole that can be drilled is very large, and Superintendent Yumoto doesn't believe it, Qingdao High School Pitcher dares to throw the ball continuously, in Superintendent Yumoto's opinion, that is not courage, it is suicidal behavior, of course, Superintendent Yumoto does not know what it is, if the catcher at home base is Miyuki Kazuya, then it is really uncertain.

Takahashi Toru, who got the instructions of his own superintendent, completely eliminated the last trace of hesitation in his heart, and the bat that was clenched up revealed a touch of decisive color, and a strong coercion was transmitted at the moment, and the senior Chris on the side couldn't help frowning slightly.

Could it be that the ball just now didn't cause any confusion to the opponent?

"It's really a difficult line。。。。。"

It's not just Chris's predecessor who has such an idea in his mind, but at the same time, Miyuki in the bench also frowned at the same time, as a catcher who forms a daily shooting partner with Shigerino Shin, Miyuki is naturally very clear that Shigerano's pitching state today is not as good as before, Rao is so, Shigerino's ball control and ball speed have reached the limit state that can be done now.

Even such pitching.

is still firmly suppressed by Baguang High School, and such a sharp refraction of the cut ball can react quickly and knock out the throw-in.

Miyuki had to sigh.

It is worthy of being one of the top teams in the country in the quarterfinals of last year's summer league.

"You must not be led by the nose by the other party, and you must control the rhythm in your own hands."

In the case of obviously knowing the other party's goal, even if he knows that it is an unavoidable conspiracy, Chris's predecessor wants to use all the means at his disposal.

to divert the opponent's attention, even if it is just a hint, can also allow them to throw in a position in the subsequent duel.

"The second ball, another ball to cut the ball, completely stretch the position, and throw it from here, Shigeruno"

Chris senior's finger moved lightly underneath, and once again drew a code, Chris senior's matching is not as strong as Miyuki's, but it does not mean that Chris senior is a completely cautious catcher, as a top catcher should have the decisiveness.

Chris seniors don't lose to anyone.

was able to defeat Yuyuki repeatedly during his junior high school period, and also became Yuyuki's most respected and longed-for predecessor, Chris Senpai is definitely one of the strongest catchers of the current generation.

On the strength of the catcher.

Nationwide, there must be people who can compare with Chris's predecessors, but if there is any catcher whose strength can surpass or even suppress Chris's predecessors, it is absolutely impossible.

The sense of smell of crisis, the judgment of critical moments.

Chris Senpai is a catcher who will never hesitate at such a necessary juncture.

The courage of the necessary moments, Chris seniors will never lack.

"Yes, Chris-senpai."

Compare the codes.

Shigerno Nobu nodded solemnly, and the arms that were raised again, gathering all the concentration on the fingertips, needed to be faster, and needed more intense arc refraction.

Shigerano's pupils were erect, staring closely at the direction of home plate, Chris's senior's ball cover.

Suddenly stepped forward.

Feel the subtle changes at your fingertips.

A release trajectory that deliberately deviates towards the outside.

The electric light that danced on his fingertips suddenly flashed when Shigerino's right arm shook down vigorously.

It suddenly appeared in mid-air.

The shadow that struck again in the direction of home plate.

"Outside corner!?"

The shadow of the galloping ball.

Reflected in Takahashi's eyes.

Takahashi's heart suddenly moved.

A ball of change from the inside corner to a straight ball from the outside corner.

It was a logical change, and it was a gut telling Takahashi that it was a slightly deflected straight ball from the outside corner.

"Finally got a straight ball that was easy to play."

With his arms suddenly moving, the metal bat clamped between his hands, Takahashi puffed up all his strength and swung violently.

"Huh"

The metal bat exuded a cold luster in the sun's glow.

"Got it!!"

The shadow of the ball that was close at hand, it was still a small ball flying straight away, and a faint ray of joy flashed in Takahashi's eyes.

Unfortunately, that flash of joy only lasted less than a fraction of a second, and the shadow that should have been straight up was at the critical line above the home plate, like a sudden braking, and suddenly refracted inward.

made Takahashi's face change.

The second ball is also a cut!? And it's a cutie from the outside corner to the very center!?

This time, there is no extra time to react, and this time, there is no possibility of responding at all.

"Pong!!"

An unforeseen crash sounded.

"Huh"

It was an uncontrollable blow at all, and the shadow of the ball that flew out in an instant in the next second, looking at the small ball that hit the ground, Takahashi Toru didn't even have any room for struggle.

"Bang"

Shortstop Asama Senpai took a standard stride and intercepted the ball.

"Huh"

"Smack"

"Smack"

Passing to second base, to perfect guarding on first base.

"Out"

"Double kills, three outs, offensive and defensive exchanges!!"

The runner on first base who was forced to base was also easily blocked in front of the second base pack.

"Good ball, Shigeno !!"

"That's it, Soul Boy."

"Cast beautifully, Shigerun."

"Good job!! Stinky boy, but don't be complacent. ”

Shigerun, who originally thought he was going to be suppressed, unexpectedly won the three batters of Hachihiro High School with two goals, and also took advantage of the situation to get the number of double kills, and there was a lot of cheers on the bench of Qingdao High School.

The spectators outside the court were also dazzled, they were very aware of the state of the Seido High School players after five days of intensive training, and they all thought that the first game might collapse a little, but they didn't expect that Shigeru Ye would be able to survive without losing a point.

Especially the cut ball that was thrown into the outer corner, which made these people stunned, and the Kataoka supervisor in the bench also nodded invisibly.

"What a great catch...

On the third base, in the bench of Hachihiro High School, Superintendent Yumoto touched his chin, looked at Chris and Shigerino who walked off the court, and said with a low smile.

Be able to make decisive choices when you have to make a decision.

This in itself is enough to prove that a player is excellent, and a catcher who believes in a pitcher, and a pitcher who trusts a catcher, what could be better than such a catch?

"Shigerun, the ball is very stable, but your arm swing is still not enough and thoroughly, if the ball power and tail strength do not come out, the straight ball will become the opponent's target, just luck is just good, if the next game is still in this state, it will be completely targeted by the opponent."

Back on the bench, senior Chris took off his protective gear and said to Shigeno Shin with a serious expression.
