Chapter 6: The Reborn Kurachi
Superintendent Kataoka gave very high praise to Akuku Kosage at the beginning. The words of praise made the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team very embarrassed.
It seems that in the competition with the senior high school of the city university, they have already lost.
Isn't that a joke? It's hard to say anything else, the confidence to win, the friends of Qingdao High School still have it. Not to mention that Tianjiu Guangsheng also has a head between his stomach, even if he suddenly grows three heads and six arms, these friends in the baseball club of Qingdao High School are also confident that they will cut off his extra hands and heads for him one by one.
Of course, Inspector Kataoka didn't really want to hit the morale of his proud disciples, and the prestige of the junior high school in the city of Nagaoka was not really going to be hit.
It's just a habit of being a Chinese teacher that makes him subconsciously adopt the grammar of first suppressing and then promoting.
After a long paragraph of compliments, I began to get to the point.
"Although the strength of the other party should not be underestimated, it does not belong to the type that is stable from the beginning. You know what I mean, right? ”
Superintendent Kataoka stared earnestly at the proud disciples under him.
The friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice. Of course, they understood what Superintendent Kataoka meant, and they knew what they should do now.
Why did Yukiichi choose to attack first?
With that guy's black belly, he must have his own plans. There is no way to guess about the other plans, but this is definitely a very important point.
He wanted to take advantage of Tianjiu Guangsheng's weakness at an unstable start, and give the third high school of the city university a dismount at the beginning.
This idea cannot be said not to be vicious.
But now that the two sides are competing against each other, Yukiichi is doing the same, and it becomes understandable. To know that to be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself. If you have to choose one of the two, it would be better to be cruel to the enemy.
"First bat, guerrilla, Kurachi!"
The competition officially began, and the first to stand in the strike zone of Seido High School was still their first stick Yoichi Kuramochi. Although the lineup of Seido High School has changed a lot since the formation of the new team, the position of the first team has never wavered.
In any case, this is the most suitable position for Yoichi Kuraji. In Qingdao High School, no one will rob him, and the main thing is that no one can rob him.
Kuramochi Yoichi, who walked into the strike zone, kept coming back to his mind what Inspector Kataoka had told him before.
"Tomorrow's game, two newcomers in one go. This is certainly for the sake of the team, but the risks involved are not small......"
Sprinkled with those high-sounding words, Superintendent Kataoka said a lot, but there are not many that can really be remembered by Kuramochi Yoichi.
But there was one thing he remembered very well, and that was what Inspector Kataoka had told him at the end.
"I hope you can take the initiative in the game from the beginning and relieve the pressure on the two freshmen!"
Superintendent Kataoka's love for the two new students is really to the core. In order to be able to get those two guys to travel lightly, they did not hesitate to put pressure on the other players.
At this time, Kuramochi Yoichi was thinking about not these. He couldn't help but think of when he had just become a team member of the team. Every time I was nervous when I played, the seniors around me gave me comfort and encouragement.
"You're fine!"
"Come on!"
"Gone are the days of comfortable catching, and if you really think like that, you can't survive here......"
In the end, all the scenes changed to Ryosuke Kominato's cold face. That's right, it's cold. Although he smiles every time he speaks, his coldness is deep in the bone marrow.
It makes people shudder to think about it!
Although what he said was very polite, every time he played, the seniors worked extremely hard. He quickly adapted to his current position, as he won consecutive matches and his self-confidence grew......
The seniors at that time, probably also told by Superintendent Kataoka, to do this, right?
Thinking of this, a very great sense of mission fills the inner world of Yoichi Kuramochi.
Everyone's opportunity to grow is different. Some of them come naturally, and some of them progress by leaps and bounds because of coincidences......
There is another one, like Yoichi Kuramochi now, where suddenly the mentality has changed dramatically.
When Kuramochi played before, although he would also take into account those teammates around him, he was basically the core of himself.
It wasn't until now that he suddenly realized that he was no longer the junior who needed to catch up with his seniors.
It's about the third-grade seniors who want to hold up a piece of the sky for these new elementary school students in Qingdao High School.
This kind of awareness and sense of mission is enough to make a player reborn.
That's the case now.
Originally, the player he admired the most was the batter who could open the bow left and right in professional baseball.
With his idol as his goal, he is naturally used to shooting the bow left and right.
But the current warehouse has naturally given up the ideals that he has always adhered to.
Standing intently on the left seat, staring at the Tianjiu Light Saint on the pitcher's hill. The reason why he did this is actually very simple.
It was because he found that he had a higher success rate when he played on the left than on the right.
Even if it was a one-percent increase, at this moment, his ambition overshadowed his desires.
As the first baseman of the Seido High School baseball team, the senior of the first-grade elementary school students, and the vice captain of the Seido High School baseball team.
He has the responsibility and obligation to get on base at this time.
The change in the mentality of Yoichi Kuramochi is very accidental. Except for himself, even in Qingdao High School, his teammates who get along with him day and night did not find anything abnormal.
Not to mention, the city university as an opponent is the third highest.
At this time, the plan they prepared was still decided based on the characteristics of Yoichi Kurachi before.
In the rest area of the third high school of the city university.
Superintendent Tahara looked eagerly at the Tenku Light Saint on the pitcher's mound.
Tenku boy!
You should know very well that this opponent is in front of you. In recent times, his momentum has also been very strong. And once on base, the threat level of this guy is tenfold greater.
Against such an opponent, you must not be able to let him get on base!
I've studied all the lineups of Qingdao High School carefully many times before. Even if Supervisor Tahara didn't say it, Tianjiu Guangsheng knew what he should do now.
With the speed of the warehouse, once he is really put on the base, it will immediately become a very troublesome existence.
That sense of threat isn't even below Seido High School's third baton Eijun Sawamura and fourth baton Yukikazuya.
But the same.
As long as this guy doesn't get on base, he doesn't have a strong sense of threat. After all, he is not a very good fighter.
At least for his Tianjiu Guangsheng, the Kuramochi Yoichi in front of him is not tricky.
In the space where the two confronted each other, everything around them had disappeared. At this moment, the spirit of the Heavenly Pure Light Saint was highly concentrated, and his eyes were staring at Yoichi Kuramochi in the strike zone without blinking.
Yoichi Kuramochi in the strike zone, for some reason, there was a momentary stagnation in the action.
It was probably a long confrontation that made him lose his mind for a moment, that is, his brain deserted.
Here's your chance!
Tianjiu Guangsheng did not let go of this opportunity, and when he realized that Kuramochi Yoichi's spirit might not be concentrated enough, he threw the white ball in his hand without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
The small white ball was like a sharp arrow, and it instantly inserted into the inner corner of the good ball belt.
In the previous game, there were often problems at the beginning, but in today's game, it seems that there are no such problems at all.
He has a high level of mental concentration and a high quality of his pitches.
The rest area of Qingdao High School is full of insiders.
Seeing the opponent's pitching momentum, his eyes narrowed subconsciously.
They are all very aware that today's game may not be as easy as they imagined.
In a way, Tianjiu is very similar to Akira Tsukiya of Qingdao High School. Once a pitcher like that is allowed to pitch out, his threat index will skyrocket.
And this guy is more stable than Gu Xiao.
Even if he reaches his peak, he will occasionally fall or be unstable.
Tianjiu Guangsheng is completely different, once he really makes him soar, this guy's state will only become more and more fierce, and there will be no instability at all.
In the stands, in the team of Yakushi High School.
They had fought with the senior high school of the city university in the autumn competition before, and their understanding of Tianjiu Guangsheng was even better.
"In today's game, Qingdao High School may not be so easy to play!"
Sanada said with great emotion.
Once the Tenjiu Light Saint is allowed to soar with all his might, his threat is definitely not under the Tokyo Prince Narumiya.
At that time, Seido High School wanted to get a score again.
But it's not easy!
It's just that his words haven't fallen yet, and the situation on the field has changed.
Kuramochi changed his previous appearance one by one, and waited for the flying baseball.
He seemed to be in a trance before, but at this time, his eyes were extremely clear, where were there signs of distraction?
Seeing the white ball fly over, Kuramochi remembered everything he had suffered during his winter training.
He can't pursue power like other hitters, it's not that he doesn't have power, it's just that his characteristics are not suitable for swinging the bat.
So all he can pursue is speed.
Speed up your swing.
It wasn't until the baseball was in hand that Kurachi's two arms followed suit.
Fast, he swung his stick frighteningly fast, faster than any previous swing.
Biting the flying baseball fiercely, Kuramochi Yoichi decisively swung the bat in his hand.
"Ping!"
Impartiality, neither fast nor slow.
The bat hit the white ball with precision, sending the white ball flying away.
There were subtle changes in baseball, but in the face of Yoichi Kuramochi's powerful swing, this change could only turn into irregular spins.
Eventually, the baseball was punched over the shortstop's head.
The third-high shortstop jumped desperately and tried to stop the ball.
But where is the time?
Before he could jump to the highest point, the small white ball was already flying above his glove.
Then he fell into the outfield.
Yoichi Kuramochi took advantage of this long hit and ran to second base in one go.
This time he went to base, not relying on his speed, but completely relying on the strength of his strike.
The strong performance plunged the entire Jingu Stadium into a moment of silence.
Then came a binge.
"Kurachi! Position !!! ”
