Chapter Seventy-Seven: God-like Chris! (3rd Update)
The first game is over, and the score is 4:0!
Qingdao had a total of eight batters on the court, four of whom scored hits, one picked four bads, and four scored bounces.
What does it mean to be in full bloom?
Now what the Qingdao line shows is that it is in full bloom.
A 145-kilometer fast ball with a tiebreaker......
Such a pitcher, despite his weakness in ball control, is still very good overall. With a good garrison, it is even more powerful.
When I played in the past, I often played with my opponent in a lonely palm.
As a representative of Chiba Prefecture, Kokuda Kogyo entered the Kanto Convention and defeated his opponent in the first round.
It stands to reason that such a team shouldn't be so vulnerable, right?
in the audience.
The two journalists exchanged ideas.
"Today, Ito, the ace of Komada Industries, doesn't seem to be in a state."
The pitcher is a very magical creature, and when he has a state, he kills all sides. Once it is not in the state, it is likely to collapse.
Today's Ito, apparently, is a little frizzy.
Another reporter shook his head.
"Even if he's not in form, his speed and power are there. Ordinary hitters, just standing in the strike zone and looking at it, will be under tremendous pressure. The Qingdao players, instead of being affected, were able to accurately hit those balls to the gap in the defense. This is not something that ordinary beaters can do! ”
Although in the past few years, Seido High School has not entered Koshien because of luck. But I have to say that Kataoka is really a very powerful instructor. These players from Qingdao High School have been trained very well by him.
In the first half of the second inning, Konda Industrial attacked.
"Fourth baseman, pitcher, Ito-san."
Ito is not only a strong shot, but also a strong player in the team.
Four-stick ace!
Nothing else, just by looking at his title, you know his status in Okita Industries.
In the position of the catcher, Chris looked at Ito, and his eyes became sharp.
Now in this situation, Qingdao has an absolute advantage, and the opponent must be anxious to recover the score. Especially when the four bats are on the field......
Ito is an intuitive hitter.
If he's in a hurry, he'll swing even if it's a ball in the corner that doesn't know how good or bad it is.
Then use a fishing ball!
First tempt him to swing the bat, use the throw-in to get the good number of balls, and finally use the tiebreaker to solve him in one go.
Thinking about it, Chris gives Tampo the ball.
On the pitcher's mound, Dambo understood Chris's tactics without any obstacles.
"It's Chris!"
Compared with Miyauchi, who only thinks about brutality and constantly squeezes his own luck, Chris's ball matching ideas are clearer and can be converted freely.
Like, he never thought about the situation where he would lose his shot.
Chris has absolute trust in Danbo.
Cast it!
On the pitcher's mound, Tamba felt every cell in his body be mobilized.
Ah, I'll vote!
And, be sure to throw it in.
"Whoosh!"
The first ball, an inside corner kick that sharpens the edge of the inside corner and flies inward.
Such a position makes it difficult for the batter to swing the bat.
Ito didn't swing the bat.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
In the catcher's position, Chris stood up with his glove and caught the ball of Tambo in the glove.
"Good vote! "
With that, he passed the ball back to Tambo.
On the pitcher's mound, Dambo looked at Chris in surprise.
The ball just now, but the bad ball, was actually saved by Chris's guy.
Even if he is standing on the same court now, as a partner in casting, he can't help but sigh.
Chris, this guy, is really on a different level than them.
A mess of cattle.
"Cast well, suppress the beater!"
"Come on!"
"That's it, let's go ahead."
In the rear, the sound of cheering came from the little friends.
Knotted, Jun Izaki, Masuko, and Kominato, these third-grade seniors, all held their heads high.
In the outfield position, Sawamura glanced at Tanba in surprise.
He really didn't know that Tanba could throw such an extreme edge ball.
If that's the case, then the next trump card battle is really interesting.
Rest area of the Qingdao Road.
Miyuki looked at Chris with sparkling eyes.
"It's worthy of Senior Chris!"
With such a saving skill, he will too. But it can't be so silent as Chris that the referee can't have any doubts.
"I really can't see that he has a full year of blank period!"
Strike zone.
Ito's face was ugly, and he glanced back at the referee.
Can the ball just now be considered a good ball?
If that's the case, then the good ball belt can't just stay on the original sideline, even some edge balls, you can't let go.
"Ping!"
On the second ball, Ito swung his bat and flew out of bounds.
"Out of bounds!"
The number of balls, two good and zero bad.
In the position of the catcher, Chris lifted his eyelids and glanced at Ito.
It looks silly on the outside, but on the second ball, there is a clear striking strategy.
It doesn't look like something that a mindless beater can do.
In that case, then the last ball, use it!
Seeing Chris's matching, Tambo's face changed. However, out of trust in Chris, he still voted for it.
"Whoosh!"
The little white ball, whizzing.
In the strike zone, Ito's eyes were filled with murderous aura.
'Buzz! ’
The bat was swung out, and Ito bit the ball and shot decisively.
"Ping!"
The bat touches the white ball and knocks it out.
The ball was hit, but Ito's face was very strange.
This ball turned out to be not the high-drop curveball he expected, but an ordinary straight ball!
Damn it!
"Leave it to me!"
In the outfield, Sawamura waited under the baseball and took the small white ball in his glove.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
Ace four sticks Ito, out!
This is a big blow to Komata Industry!
Then on the fifth bat, Koizumi hit an infield rebound ball, which was caught by Ryosuke Kominato, sent to first base, and was formed.
"Out!"
Two outs, no one on base.
Next came the turn of the sixth batter, the catcher, three of a kind.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!!"
"Strikeout!!
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
In the second game, the core of Okita Industry was four, five or six sticks, three up and three down.
They were played around by Chris's matching.
Of course, there can be such an effect, Chris alone can't do it.
In this match, at least so far, Damba's performance has been very eye-catching.
This feeling is really a long time since I have seen it for Qingdao's friends.
It's been a long time since they've felt this stability.
Tambo is present, and they won't worry about the pitcher suddenly collapsing.
"It's a win!"
Sawamura gave Chris a strange look, and then Tamba.
I don't know if it's his delusion, but when he partnered with Chris, Tambo acted as if he was a different person.
As if by magic, Chris has tapped into all of Danbo's potential.
It's just strange why he didn't feel this way when he was partnered with Chris?
