Chapter 49: One Point Is Not Enough! (1st Update)
Qingdao High School competed in the city's junior high school, and it was very intense.
After being hit a home run, the city's third-high ace Tianjiu Guangsheng, did not collapse as everyone imagined, and was directly defeated.
Instead, he showed exceptional pitching prowess and did everything a true national top pitcher should do in the next pitch.
By the end of the third inning, the score was still 1-0, and in the process, no one from either team had ever hit base.
A very fierce pitcher battle began.
The big demon king Eijun Sawamura has such a performance, as a viewer, they are not surprised at all, they have seen too many scenes like this when they watched Eijun Sawamura play before.
Now in the face of such a picture, there is a very strong resistance.
On the contrary, it is the performance of Tianjiu Guangsheng, which is impressive.
Although there were rumors that he had the strength of the best pitcher in the country, everyone did not feel it personally.
Now watching him compete with King Qingdao High School, the suppressed King Qingdao High School's line has no temper.
Fans finally believe that this guy's strength is indeed extraordinary.
Because his trump card is not weaker than the performance of Sawamura Rongchun, the momentum of the city's three high schools has also been driven.
They are a big team, and the players are very good. Once the rush is launched, even Qingdao High School will not dare to be careless.
"One point is still not enough insurance!"
Coach Ochiai touched the mustache on his chin and said in a deep voice.
Overseer Kataoka, who was wearing sunglasses, nodded, and then gathered all his disciples.
'One point is not enough, and getting one more point as soon as possible is the focus of our next game. The opposing ace pitcher is a little stronger than we have detected before, and it is very difficult to hope for consecutive hits at this time to seal the win in one go. Greed can't chew more, one point, one point is good, take the score down point by point. The advantage we gained in the end will definitely make the opponent despair, do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
What else is there not to understand about this, Superintendent Kataoka has already said it very explicitly.
That is, he doesn't care about the means, get a point as soon as possible, and expand the score to two points or more.
Thoroughly take the initiative in the game.
The opponent is the third high school of the city university, and the superintendent Kataoka is still very jealous of them. Or should it be said that in the previous days, Inspector Kataoka had suffered too many losses on this opponent.
So he absolutely did not allow his team to stumble on the same stone again.
In the first half of the fourth inning, Qingdao High School attacked.
The first to stand in the strike zone was Kominato Haru.
His gaze was very cautious, and the bat in his hand was held high.
The pitcher's mound, Tianjiu Guangsheng, was very calm in the face of this opponent who was not easy to deal with.
Wooden stick beater!
In today's high school baseball world, there are very few hitters who use this kind of bat.
If you are not very confident in the accuracy of your blows, there is no way to use a wooden stick.
"Unfortunately, I'm confident that I won't let you hit the ball? The next step is to see if my faith is correct or if yours is more accurate. ”
He unhurriedly pulled away and threw the baseball in his hand fiercely.
Being able to maintain a steady pitching posture while giving full strength is the minimum standard for the top pitchers in the country.
From this point of view, Tianjiu Guangsheng has indeed achieved the top level in the country.
Faced with the ball that flew into the good ball, Kominato Haruichi naturally wouldn't let it go, and he directly slammed the bat in his hand.
"Ping!"
After the little white ball was hit, it flew high.
Missed!
The sharpness of the opponent's changing ball exceeded Kominato's expectations.
He could only watch the baseball fly out, and there was nothing he could do.
In the rest area of Qingdao High School, Coach Ochiai, who touched the mustache on his chin, muttered.
"I told this kid a long time ago that he was going to use a metal rod, if the ball just now used a metal rod, it would definitely not be the result it is now."
Metal rods, because the rod surface itself is relatively wide, it is easier to carry the ball out. Even if you don't hit the center of the ball well, you can make the ball fly far away.
Although Kominato Haruichi's strength is not outstanding, he has a ball sense that no one can match.
In Coach Ochiai's opinion, if Kominato Haruichi is allowed to use a metal rod, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
But Qingdao is strange in this place.
It is a quasi-military baseball team, but it never forces the players to do anything, and they can choose their own future.
If it's a general supervision, in the face of disobedient players, you don't need it.
But that's not the case with the Superintendent of Seido High School, even if the contestants are unwilling to follow his orders, change positions, or any habits.
As long as you have the quality, he will still let you play.
Employing people is not eclectic!
For this, Ochiai, as a coach, is also helpless.
After Kominato Harushi was out, it was the turn of the blow to the core of Seido High School.
"Third baseman, pitcher, Sawamura-san."
Facing Sawamura Eijun, who had just hit a home run, the shooting partner of the city's junior high school did his best.
Similarly, Sawamura Eijun was not at all polite.
He struck a short stance.
With no one on base, Sawamura Eijun put on a short stance.
It's 100 percent hits!
Seeing that Sawamura Eijun was so serious, the catcher of the third highest school in the city was trembling in his heart.
According to the information they had before, Sawamura Eijun never seemed to have missed a blow whenever he put on such a striking stance.
What can I do?
Just when he was at a loss, he saw the Tenjiu Guangsheng on the pitcher's mound shaking his head firmly at him.
There is no need for any tricks, no need for any superfluous little moves.
It's just a hard hit.
What bullshit is 100% safe, Lao Tzu just doesn't believe in that evil.
As long as the hitter plays, there is a chance to play out, and there is also a probability that it will not be played.
The same is true for pitchers.
Tianjiu Guangsheng believes in his own pitching!
What's more, he doesn't want to back down when facing Sawamura Eijun.
In terms of his own life motto, once a pitcher retreats, he is not qualified to continue fighting.
A pitcher is a fighter.
And the warrior will never retreat.
"This is your own meaning, don't blame me for being scolded by the overseer for a while."
For his partner's insistence, the catcher of the third high school in the city will naturally not speak out against it.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that now was indeed not the time to avoid a showdown with Sawamura Eijun.
Once they choose to escape at this time, it means that they have actually admitted in their hearts that they are not Sawamura Eijun's opponents.
The morale of the entire team is bound to plummet.
It is not advantageous in terms of strength, nor is it advantageous in terms of psychological state, if even the morale falls, where is the possibility of winning in the three high schools of the city?
Now the showdown with Sawamura is tantamount to forcing Liangshan, and there is no way to do it.
Come on!
After thinking about it, the catcher of the third high school in the city firmly gave the Tianjiu Guangsheng a code.
