Chapter 118: My name is Haruka Nanami (Tribute to the Flying Knife)
In the first half of the fourth game, Xinglong High School, which was holding back its strength and wanted to perform, returned again in vain.
Three up, three down, two strikeouts!
With such a clean finish, Tamba's pitching looked even stronger than in the first three innings.
This made Xinglong's efficient superintendent Feng Xiang and Long Yi very puzzled.
As far as his own feelings are concerned, the tactics he developed are not flawless, but in general there should be nothing wrong with them.
He didn't think about it, saying that with that set of tactics alone, he would completely destroy Tanbo. But as far as his own feeling is concerned, even if that tactic is a blind cat touching a dead mouse, the first three bats should be able to score one or two hits.
In this way, you can rely on the fourth stick Nanami Haruka to score points!
The plan of the offensive was perfect.
But Qingdao High School's response speed was much faster than he imagined. Just looking at the ball that Oda hit, the catchers of Seido High School seemed to be convinced of what ball they were going to aim for, and even formulated the corresponding tactics very decisively.
In Feng Xiang Long Yi's view, this is extremely unreasonable.
How can you determine your opponent's strike strategy with a strike that is not even a hit?
Isn't this nonsense?
But Chris, the catcher of Qingdao High School, did just that, and it was very successful.
He successfully took out the top three of Xinglong High School.
"Seido High School!"
Even if Sawamura didn't stand on the pitcher's hill, did they have such a strong strength?
Feng Xiang Long Yi smiled bitterly and turned his head to say to Nanami Haruka.
"The other party is obviously not an opponent that can be defeated by tactics alone, and then it's up to you, trump card!"
Nanami Haruka has no extra words, just one word.
"Good!"
Fighting against Qingdao High School makes Nanami Haruka's blood boil.
It's been a long time, it's really been a long time since I've met such a strong opponent.
Although when I first competed with Cheng Gongming, it was quite interesting. But in that kind of practice game, even if you have a good time, you can't be sure that you and the other party are 100% strong.
Not like now.
In the quarterfinals of Koshien, he won the promotion, and if he lost, he went home.
In order to be able to win, both sides will even use the strength to feed.
Why did the people of Xinglong High School think that Sawamura would pitch the ball?
It's because they are sure that Qingdao High School is the same as them, and they can't afford to lose.
But now they somewhat understand what Seido High School does, and with a substitute like Koichiro Tanba in their hands, they will naturally come on if the opportunity is right.
"Come on!"
Let's bet everything and have a good game.
In the second half of the fourth inning, Qingdao High School attacked.
"Fifth batter, stalwarts, Jun Izaki."
As soon as Jun Izakiki stepped into the strike zone, his eyes immediately became vicious.
"Look at Lao Tzu beating you!"
He roared violently, and then waved the bat in his hand at Nanami Haruka.
It felt a bit of a bluff.
Not really.
It's not entirely for no reason that Izaki did this. His most important purpose is to take advantage of the leading advantage to completely crush Nanami Haruka's confidence.
To put it bluntly, it's like playing cards, even playing with scare.
It's just a pity that his opponent is not a guy who can be scared just by scareping.
Haruka Nanami's performance is very calm.
Just like his pitching, it's very stable.
"Whoosh!"
A small white ball that flies to the inside corner.
The feeling of this ball is very bad, it should be close to the edge of the good ball belt, and the ball is half mixed with good and bad.
Even if he deviates from the good ball belt, as long as he doesn't deviate too far, Jun Izashaki will swing the bat.
Not to mention the kind of ball that doesn't even count as a bad ball.
He swung the stick directly and decisively!
"Ping!"
The bat hit the small white ball, and Izagi Jun immediately felt the difference.
The ball is so heavy!
Before he could react, the white ball bounced off.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
Until he was out of the game, Jun Izaki was confused.
Not only him, but even Sawamura, who was most familiar with Nanami Haruka before, was also stunned.
This obviously doesn't feel right!
Haruka Nanami's straight ball, is it so powerful?
The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.
On the contrary, it was Miyuki, who had not dealt much with Nanami Haruka before, and saw the essence of the matter.
"This guy's pitching is a bit weird, if it's not that the pure senior didn't play well, it means that his straight ball is not easy to play."
As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.
"Sixth baseman, third baseman, Masuko Toru player!"
At this time, the beater of Qingdao High School, it was Masuko's turn.
It wasn't just the people in the rest area of Qingdao High School who observed the abnormality of the pitch just now. Masuko, who was in the strike zone, was not idle either.
"Ah Chun didn't even play a straight ball?"
This result made Masuko very puzzled, and at the same time strengthened his strike strategy.
Although it is not clear what exactly has changed in the opponent's straight ball? But even if there are changes, they are nothing more than two, one is a small change, and the other is a terrifying ball power.
Against these two points, strength is enough!
As long as he swings the bat with enough power, he can hit it no matter whether there is a small change in the ball thrown by the opponent or the power of the ball that is superhumanly imagined.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
"Strikeout!!
Masukoto's idea is very creative.
It's just a pity that Feng Xiang Aoyi and Nanami Haruka didn't have the intention of cooperating with him.
When Feng Xiang saw that Masuko was holding the bat for so long, he immediately gave a secret signal to Nanami Haruka and asked him to use the change ball.
Because of Haruka Nanami's own pitching characteristics, the change of the ball thrown out is particularly large.
Masuko, who is ready to crush everything with his strength, can't hit it at all in the face of such a big change ball.
Three consecutive swings and three consecutive swings missed.
Masuko was struck out.
Haruka Nanami!
Before competing with Xinglong High School, Qingdao High School was very serious about collecting information from Nanami Haruka.
At that time, there were many evaluations of Nanami Haruka, and most of them thought that although Nanami Haruka was very powerful, he was barely able to squeeze into the top level in the country.
Among pitchers at this level, Haruka Nanami should be at the bottom.
For example, if you pick out the best pitchers in the country's high schools, these ten people.
Haruka Nanami may barely be able to squeeze into these ten people, ranking ninth or tenth.
This is the evaluation of Nanami Haruka's strength when Seido High School collected information before.
But now it seems that their previous estimates may be very problematic.
The guy in front of him probably has the strength to keep pace with Cheng Gongming.
The reason why when facing him, the hitter of Qingdao High School was able to score hits again and again.
It's not because he's weak, it's because Seido High School's own players have really grown!
If Qingdao High School and Daocheng Industry are allowed to play another game now, the result of the game will definitely not be the same as before.
