Chapter Twenty-Six: Heavy Artillery! (2nd Update)
In the first half of the first game, Kiryu High School in Osaka attacked.
Seido's first-mover partners are Akira Shibuyani and Miyuki.
Facing Osaka Kiryu's line, Miyuki casually put the gloves in a position.
Among the four pitchers of Qingdao, partnering with Gu Xiao is the most worry-free. This guy doesn't know any other balls except straight balls. When it comes to the ball, you just have to put the glove in the position and let him shoot the ball.
And he hasn't had the ball yet, and even if you have a position, he may not be able to throw it there, let alone a plausible good or bad ball......
The pitcher's mound was very excited.
In total, he hadn't stood on the pitcher's mound to pitch for more than two weeks. In the days of the training camp, he just threw 200 balls in the cowshed the day before yesterday and yesterday.
For the pitching maniac Xiao Gu, how could such a number of pitches be able to make him enjoyable?
For this competition, he held back his strength and was ready to do a good job.
When he was about to play, Superintendent Kataoka specially instructed him.
"Downvalley, you're very tired now, aren't you? It's better to just pitch the ball and let them play, and don't care too much about the outcome of the game. ”
Iron men also have a tender side.
Kataoka couldn't bear to watch Shizuya being abused, and at the same time he was afraid, what if he fell into a slump because of this game after Shatani?
So before Gu Xiao came on the field, he deliberately relieved the pressure.
Kataoka meant that Akira Shibuyani didn't have to push himself too much, he didn't care about the result of the game. The purpose of this practice competition is mainly to let Shibuyu know himself and adjust his misunderstanding.
This has been said very clearly, but Gu Xiao did not appreciate it.
He didn't even understand what Kataoka was talking about?
He hadn't pitched on the pitcher's mound for two weeks!
Finally snatched the opportunity to pitch on the court, of course Tsukiya Xiao had to make good use of this game, and he didn't plan to let anyone hit his ball.
In the position of the outfield, Sawamura secretly complained in his heart.
He knows about the next pitch on the field, but why should he be kept in the outfield?
At this time, shouldn't you be comfortable in the rest area, drinking water, recovering your strength, and waiting for the next shot?
Although standing in the outfield position and watching the game, it is a different scenery.
But I'm a pitcher!
It's just a matter of not letting the ace go down in the official game, so what's the need to practice the game?
Moreover, Akira Tsukiya ......
Thinking about it, Sawamura glanced at the pitcher mound worriedly.
There, Xiao's posture was unusually tall.
He was already tall, and standing on the pitcher's mound, he had a very strong oppressive force.
Radiant!
It's just such a radiant figure, I'm afraid it won't last long.
"Baseball in high school isn't that simple!"
Kiryu High School in Osaka, the quasi-winning team of last year's Koshien Summer League. The average press of the team members is more than 180 kilograms, which can be said to be the first in the country in terms of swing power.
Such a team, once Xiaogu loses his most advantageous weapon, ball speed. I'm afraid it's hard to cope?
In the position of the catcher, Miyuki put his gloves on the table.
"Come on!"
Tired body, plus only a straight ball is a way to play.
For Xiao Jintani, this is the first time he has seriously experienced the rigors of high school baseball across the country.
On the pitcher's mound, Xiao's arm wheeled like a windmill, and then the white ball in his hand flew out with a roar.
"Whoosh!"
Even if he was extremely tired, he threw a ball speed of 145 kilometers. I have to say that he does have an amazing talent in terms of ball speed.
Sawamura is the same age as him, and has the advantage of being reborn, and he started practicing pitching early, and the fastest ball speed is only 138 kilometers so far.
This gap is like a chasm, and it is difficult to surpass.
It's just that the ball speed of just 145 kilometers is obviously not enough to see.
"Buzz!"
It was like a thunderous swing of the stick, hitting head-on, with an indomitable terrifying momentum.
"Ping!"
After the little white ball was hit, it flew high.
Sawamura stared at the direction where the baseball flew over, and his body continued to retreat until there was no way to retreat, and he watched the baseball fly out.
On the first ball, Xiao Gu threw a very fast straight ball. The ball speed of 145 kilometers is not very rare in the whole high school, but it definitely belongs to the upper level.
This is the standard fast ball pitcher!
But such a ball was aimed at by someone at the first goal and hit it.
The first ball was swung and the first home run was hit.
Kiryu High School in Osaka scored the first point.
"Damn, this is too fierce!"
"Who is Kiryu's first batter? I don't think I've heard of it before. ”
"I don't know who it is, but it's not a museum after all. In the real Osaka Kiryu High School, the one who can be called a star player is the hall. ”
"But even if you're not a star player, you're very powerful."
"There's no way, it's Kiryu Osaka, which has the highest striking power in the country, and the average push of the whole team is more than 180 kilograms."
……
Most of the spectators who came to see the game were alumni of Seido High School.
When watching the game, they don't show favoritism, they say whatever they want.
On the other hand, Qingdao Dao, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Even if he knew that once Gu Xiao played, he would inevitably be slaughtered.
I didn't expect it to be so soon!
Anyway, Akira Tsukitani's ball speed is still good.
Even if he doesn't rely on other weapons, just talking about ball speed, he should be able to hold out for a while.
Unexpectedly, I couldn't hold it for a while.
"Cut, the ball is not fast at all!"
On the pitcher's hill, Tsukiya Xiao's face was also very ugly.
He really didn't expect that he would throw such an inferior ball!
If Sawamura hears this, Sawamura will probably be angry.
If he had a ball speed of 145 km/h, he would probably wake up laughing from his dreams.
I didn't expect that in the eyes of Gu Xiao, such a fast ball was unsightly.
Immediately after that, it was the turn of the second batter to strike.
It's the second stick, and it's interesting.
He's also one of the kind of hitters who pick the ball.
After letting go of the first two goals, he found something particularly interesting.
That's the ball of Xiaogu Xiao, it's easy to be high. And the most interesting thing is that the ball that has dropped high is still obvious.
Even though the ball is very fast, it's still easy to tell if it's a shot high or really good.
"It's so much fun!"
"Good shot!"
"Bad ball!"
"Bad ball!"
……
There was a throw-in in the middle, and after the batter of the second stick entangled a few balls, he directly chose four bads.
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Guaranteed to get on base!"
……
The first hitter hit a home run, and then the second hitter picked a four-bad.
The two things that hit the pitcher the most, in the first two bats, let the valley be touched.
