Chapter 13: The gap between the two pitchers in Qingdao

The offense was ineffective and the defense seemed to be in trouble.

Qingdao High School, which originally had the advantage, was inexplicably not good.

In the previous Koshien game, Akira Shikitani, who had an excellent performance, threw four bad shots in succession.

So much so that the first and second batters of Feilian University have succeeded in hitting the bases.

The situation became that no one was out, and there were people on first and second base.

Seido High School is in a huge crisis.

In the rest area of Fei Lian High School.

The superintendent of their family pinched his waist confidently and looked at the rest area of Seido High School, especially Kataoka in the middle of the rest area team.

Because I was lucky to get a pitcher like Sawamura Eisun, I was able to dominate Seido High School in the country in a row.

In the eyes of the superintendent of Feilian High School, Qingdao High School is just a lucky one.

As for Kataoka, the superintendent of Seido High School, he was even more lucky.

But luck is limited after all, and those who can stay on the baseball field and fight hard in the end are still those teams that are really strong.

As long as Sawamura Eijun didn't stand on the pitcher mound.

Qingdao High School is not to be afraid.

"Keep attacking, boys."

Let these guys from King Qingdao High School take a good look at the ambition of our Feilian High School.

This is also a valuable opportunity for Feilian University itself. Take the king Qingdao High School to practice, but not every team has such an opportunity.

Even if the current Seido High School is not in its heyday, pitcher Eijun Sawamura did not stand on the pitcher hill. But this still can't change the reality that the team in front of you is the king of Qingdao. It's not their second army, it's not their substitute, it's the king Qingdao High School composed of all the main forces.

Able to defeat the king of the youth once before the summer tournament. For the players of Feilian University, it is of great significance.

The overall morale of the team and the confidence of the players will be greatly improved.

After improving, when facing other giants, even if they fall into a hard battle in the process of the game, the players will have more confidence to fight.

These baseball players in high school, after all, are just a bunch of adolescent kids.

Their performance has a lot to do with their mentality and the form of the team.

If you are invincible if you play well, you will collapse directly if you don't fight well, this is all possible.

In this case, if it can improve the morale of the players, no matter what the cost, the supervision of Feilian University will not mind.

And they are not afraid of being seen by Qingdao High School.

Completely different from the autumn competition just ended, before the summer competition began, there were not a few strong teams from all over the country who extended an olive branch to Qingdao High School.

They were eager to play a practice match against Qingdao High School.

You know, not all teams in the country are aiming for national dominance.

Before dominating the country, there is one task that the other teams must accomplish, and that is to make it to Koshien first.

If you can't get into Koshien, everything else is empty talk.

Only by entering Koshien can they be qualified to go to Xiao to think about other things.

This is fundamentally different from Qingdao High School.

Seido High School has had only one goal from beginning to end.

That's defending the title.

I think that when they didn't dominate the country at the beginning, the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School were able to pat their chests and shout the slogan of competing for the national championship with a clear conscience.

They put in that kind of effort, and naturally they want that kind of reward.

When they pat their chests, they dare to say that they have been trained the harshest.

Not to mention that now that they are the defending champions, there is simply no other goal.

No matter who the opponent is, no matter what the group?

Seido High School's goals will not change from beginning to end.

That is to win the victory of Koshien this summer.

In the words of Director Kataoka, since he wants to win a legendary result. Then they have to be positive about every game and win every game.

Only by winning all these games can the players of the Seido High School baseball club tell everyone with a clear conscience.

Their goals have never changed.

"Dominate the country!"

Completely different from Qingdao High School, the team of Fei Lian High School is in a different situation. Right now they are not the best team in Kanagawa, the best team in Kanagawa is someone else, they are only second in Kanagawa.

Even in this second ranking, there is a big luck factor, after all, there are objective reasons for grouping.

In the summer competition, there is only one team from each district and county that can advance to the whole country.

Don't look at them in the Kanagawa region, but the situation next is not optimistic at all.

Capsizing in the gutter or being forcefully suppressed is very likely.

In this case, the first thing that comes to their mind, of course, is. How to find the problems of your own team and actively correct them, so that your team can improve in a short period of time.

Only when their quality improves, will they have the confidence to compete with other teams for a place in Koshien.

In this process, King Qingdao High School is their best practice competition.

Where can I find such a wronged leader?

It's not a fish belly team, it's a real king Qingdao.

Playing practice matches, it is a principle to find someone to play chess with chess players.

When you play chess with people who are of a high level, you will naturally get guidance.

Playing chess with a stinky chess basket, the final result is just more and more stinky play.

If you play chess with someone of a high level, you will have some confrontation with each other. Then it is the most helpful for me to improve my chess strength.

This is the case with Fei Lian High School now.

The gap between them and Qingdao High School still exists, but it cannot be denied that this gap is not as big as everyone imagined.

It's like now, after the problem with Tsukiya Xiao, they actively took offensive measures.

"Kosugi, it's all up to you next."

"Let's hit the ball out."

"Be sure to get out!"

"Attack, attack!!"

In the rest area of Feilian High School, there was the hoarse cheering of the players.

Some people who came to watch the game on the outside of the stadium also erupted in loud cheers.

Naturally, this cheer is not for Qingdao, but for the players of Feilian High School.

This is to urge them to compete well, and they must not embarrass Feilian University.

The sense of honor in this school is still very strong, except for those few little girls who have just fallen in love, cheering for Sawamura Rongchun without caring about anything.

Even if everyone else doesn't cheer for their own school team, at least they don't help each other.

Let people see it, and I can't say that I am not moved.

Even these onlookers from the Baseball Club of Seido High School were very moved when they saw it.

Not to mention the players who are competing.

The hitter in the strike zone is the third baton of Feilian University?

His appearance has nothing to do with his delicate appearance.

The whole person looks very rugged, and his height is about 185 cm.

Not only is he tall enough, but he also looks very burly.

Baseball players are still very different from football and basketball players.

First and foremost, it is also a very important point.

It's just that the players who play baseball are generally much bigger than the other players.

Like the Seido High School baseball club, the vast majority of players are well-proportioned, but they are actually a minority.

This hitter is a typical baseball player.

Even if he was wearing clothes, he could see his burly muscles.

The whole person smells of violence.

A pair of eyes were firmly locked on the pitcher's mound, staring at Xiao's every move.

The whole person looks very dangerous, as long as Xiaoyi has a storm, I believe that he will immediately use thunder methods.

"Come on!"

"Come on!!"

Runners on first and second base have also begun to act.

They quietly made their way to the next base.

I don't know if they really have any intentions or if it's to distract the pitcher.

"Ignore the runners, they're all in my hands."

After the runner appeared on the base, the whole state of Akira Tsukiya was wrong.

He was very jealous and kept looking at the two runners, his eyes full of concern.

Even Yukiichi in the catcher position kept helping him spread the pressure, but he still didn't quit this problem.

In the final analysis, the time for Xiaogu to learn baseball is just this year.

When no one can get on base, or he's in surprisingly good shape, he can play a lot of pitching power.

But once someone gets on base, there are more situations on the field that he needs to face.

It will be difficult for Gu Xiao to give full play to his strength perfectly like before.

Because he was afraid of the other party's runners, he kept his eyes on the runners from time to time.

This is equivalent to him taking the initiative to tell his opponent about his weaknesses.

The superintendent of Feilian University is not a fool either.

At first, she also had doubts in her heart, was it true?

But he soon gave up on that idea.

It can't be fake.

The state of Gu Xiao says it all, is he really a little panicked, I don't know what to do now?

"Runners continue to put pressure on pitchers!"

The superintendent of Feilian University immediately formulated a new strategy.

Then I watched the two runners from Feilian High School, constantly moving towards the next base.

Noticing this, Akira Tsukitani secretly gritted his teeth, and then began to throw the ball in containment.

"Whoosh!"

He is the fastest pitcher in the country, and the fastest in throwing and holding the ball is also the best in the country.

He doesn't need to open a big pitching position, even if he throws the ball out normally, he can throw the ball at a speed of more than 140 kilometers.

The white ball flew into the first baseman's glove with a whoosh.

It's a pity that it's useless, just as Xiaotou is holding back the ball.

Runners from Flyless High School were quickly back on first base.

It's much easier to deal with Falling Valley than it is to deal with Eijun Sawamura.

He doesn't have the flexible shoulders and wrists of Eijun Sawamura, and he doesn't have the acting skills of Eijun Sawamura as an actor.

Every time he throws a ball, he needs to aim with his eyes first, and then pull out of the frame before he throws the ball.

No experienced runner would be killed by the valley drop.

It's not that he doesn't pitch fast, it's mainly because he has too many extra moves.

The runner can easily see his intentions and choose to steal or return in advance.

In this case, it's no wonder that Xiaogu can kill the opponent.

I threw several containment balls in a row, but in the end, none of them could play as well as they should.

Descending Gu Xiao was no longer entangled, and began to turn his head and concentrate on dealing with the beaters on the field.

But despite his intentions, how can people's minds be so easy to calm down?

Just as he was about to concentrate on dealing with the beater, his mind kept recalling the runner's movements.

Before he knew it, the ball he threw was floating.

"Whoosh!"

This goal is clearly not as powerful as before.

Although the speed is still high, it still exceeds 150 kilometers.

But from the perspective of the beater, Xiao's pitching has obviously lost its previous spirit.

The ball that appears now is more like a fast ball drilled out of a ball bowling machine.

Very good!

Originally, before being chased, the beaters of Feilian University did not plan to swing the bat.

But at this time he couldn't help it at all.

No good hitter can say no to a good ball in the middle.

There is no way they can refuse such a temptation.

The third stick of Fei Lian University also has no way.

So he almost logically waved the bat in his hand, aimed at the ball, and hit it.

"Ping!"

The small white ball was hit and flew directly above the shortstop.

Kurachi jumped up with an arrow step, and came to the dry land to pull the onion, ready to stop the ball.

It's a pity that the height of his jump, coupled with his arm span, is still quite far from the small white ball.

In the end, he could only watch as the small white ball flew out from the top of his head.

The ball flying above the shortstopper's head is the gap between the two outfielders.

"Smack!"

The two super fielders of Qingdao High School desperately rushed to the landing point of baseball.

In the end, they couldn't catch up, and they could only watch the little white ball fly out of front of their eyes.

Both outfielders are in the air!

This seemingly ordinary hit, it became a super long hit.

The whole stadium became silent because of this sudden change.

The players from Fei Lian University did not stop attacking.

The moment the baseball is knocked out, their runners are already running.

Watching the baseball fly out, the runner on second base went straight over third base and returned to home plate.

"Smack!"

"Safety!!"

There was no controversy, and he was a natural fit to return to home plate.

Immediately after that, another runner followed.

The direction of the outfield.

didn't stop the ball flying out for the first time, Tojo's eyes were full of all kinds of unwillingness.

The unyielding fighting spirit urged him, desperately chasing after the small ball that flew out.

In the end, he managed to catch up with the ball!

But when he turned around, he found the runner on first base.

By this time, it was already approaching third base.

Dangerous!!

It is simply impossible to stop the runner on second base from returning to home plate.

At this time, the only thing the Seido High School runners can do is to stop the runner who was originally on first base as much as possible and return to home plate.

"Whoosh!"

Walk you!

It was as if a laser, a super long pass of more than 80 meters, appeared.
