Chapter 112: The Catcher Containment (3rd Update)

As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.

"Fifth baseman, first baseman, Matsumoto."

At this time, it was the turn of Kenen Matsumoto, who was the older brother of Sawamura's partner Jun Matsumoto in middle school.

Half-sibling!

Matsumoto Kenen is also extremely talented in hitting. At the beginning of Nagano, there were only two beaters who could make Sawamura feel excited.

One is Haruka Nanami, and the other is Matsumoto.

In the previous games of Xinglong High School, they averaged a whopping 7.4 points per game.

This kind of attack power is also very rare in Koshien. Among them, the median line of four, five or six sticks alone averaged 5.3 points per game.

The average contribution of the other six hitters is just over two points.

"This is also a beater to be reckoned with!"

Chris thought, typing Tambo into the code.

On the pitcher's mound, Tambo nodded affirmatively and threw the ball.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball is extremely sharp and goes straight into the inner corner.

Chris, who was in the position of the catcher, did not look very good.

There was a sweet ball again, a ball control error. Although this goal was not sweet to the extreme, compared to Tanba's average level, this goal was obviously a mistake.

If there are any problems in the current Tamba. That's the good straight ball that pops up from time to time.

On the strike zone, Matsumoto's face was happy.

Finally, he was made to wait, and it was easy to hit a straight ball.

"Ping!"

After the white ball was hit, it landed in the gap between the guards of Seido High School.

Matsumoto ran to first base in one go.

It wasn't until it was safe to get on the base bag that Matsumoto breathed a sigh of relief.

It's dangerous!

If his movements were a little slower, he might be directly blocked by the ball passed back by Qingdao High School.

The other party's movements are too fast, frighteningly fast.

And although the ball is easy to play, the ball is good, and there is no way to force it out.

One out, one base!

In the rest area of Xinglong High School.

Fengxiang Long Yi decisively gave the players on the court a code.

Matsumoto stole the base on the first goal, if the opportunity is right, Feng Xiang Okuichi cooperates with the play and run, if the opportunity is not suitable, let Matsumoto steal the base by himself.

"We must shake the garrison of Qingdao High School to the greatest extent!"

After seeing Matsumoto on base, Fengxiang Long Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

When he watched Koichiro Tanba pitch before, he thought that Koichiro Tanba was a pitcher who was not inferior to Eijun Sawamura.

If that's the case, they don't have to mess around.

Now I see Koichiro, which is not much different from what is shown in the information. (Although the players did not train for Koichiro Tanba, Fengxiang Ryuyi collected information about Koichiro Tanba.) )

The strategy against him is obvious!

Through the analysis of the information collected by Fengxiang Longyi before, Tanba Koichiro has two major weaknesses.

The first is that once someone is on base, it's easier for him to be less calm. The second is that he often throws some straight balls that are easy to hit.

To deal with this beater, the strategy is extremely simple.

Aim for straight balls that are easy to hit, and as soon as someone gets on base, aggressively steal bases.

"I believe that in this way, it will be a matter of time before the other party is attacked."

"Sixth stick, catcher, Feng Xiang Aoyi."

After Feng Xiang stepped into the strike zone, Chris keenly noticed that Matsumoto, who stayed on first base, was not honest.

He was ready to steal the fort.

This point, Tamba on the pitcher's mound also discovered. But he's a right-handed pitcher and he's ready to pitch with his back to first base. It's not easy to pinn down Matsumoto with your gaze.

"Damn!"

Seeing Matsumoto leave the base pack at first base, getting farther and farther away.

Tambo directly pinned the ball and threw it.

"Smack!"

At the moment when Tamba threw the ball in containment, Matsumoto returned to first base.

At this time, Matsumoto was also scared into a cold sweat.

Tambo was even more powerful than he had imagined.

Even the containment technology is so scary.

The white ball appeared in the first baseman's glove almost instantly, and if he had been slow to react, he would have been directly knocked out.

The game continued, but Matsumoto was honest and did not dare to continue stealing bases.

Tambo glared at him viciously, then pulled out of his stance, ready to pitch.

Just on the eve of Tanba's stance, Matsumoto moved!

He has a pair of long legs, and his speed is terrifying.

In a few steps, he crossed the place where he had planned to steal the fortress.

At this time, Tambo, even if he wanted to turn around to stop it, it was too late, he had already stepped out of his legs.

Chris found out about this, but didn't show anything.

Tanba is not Sawamura Eijun, so let him temporarily change the direction of his pitch, and it is likely that there will be an unexpected big explosion.

At this time, Chris could only wait, waiting for the baseball to fly into his glove.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball was like a quick ray of light, instantly appearing in Chris's glove.

Feng Xiang in the strike zone did not swing his stick at this tricky ball.

"Smack!"

The baseball landed pinpointingly in Chris's glove.

While receiving the ball, Chris was already half-on his feet. By the time the gloves caught the ball, he was fully on his feet.

Then, without any hesitation, he took the ball out of his glove and passed it to second base.

"Hip hop!"

The shortstop held the ball and ran to second base early to support and caught the ball firmly.

"Smack!"

At this time, Matsumoto, who seized the opportunity and rushed ahead of schedule, also happened to reach second base.

"Out!"

Matsumoto was directly killed by Kuramoto.

"It's really hard for you, come all the way here."

Kuramochi smiled wickedly.

Matsumoto ignored him and looked at the catcher's position.

There was obviously no problem with his start just now, although he was blocked by Tambo halfway, but on the whole, he should have a chance to get on base.

But it was easy to kill him.

"The speed of the other party's containment is too fast!"

was previously covered by the talent of the great demon king Sawamura Eijun, and Chris's performance as a catcher can only be regarded as remarkable in the eyes of ordinary people.

Now it seems that they were mistaken.

The other party just didn't have the opportunity to show his strength before.

really has a chance to show his strength, Chris's strength is not bad at all, and it can even be said that he is smart and scary.

Giants!

Is the big catcher in high school so strong?

No, it can't be.

Not to mention that there are two wealthy high schools in Nagano Prefecture itself, even after Xinglong High School entered Koshien, it was not only Seichi who encountered a wealthy family.

The main catchers of other giants obviously do not have such strength.

"What horrible guys!"

Matsumoto's failure to steal the base this time was a very big blow to Xinglong University.

There were several speeds in their team that were very good, and this was one of the killer features they had prepared.

Now it seems that the threat of this killer weapon to Qingdao High School may be far less than they imagined before.
