Chapter 141: Defeating Haruka Nanami (Second Update)
In the second half of the eighth inning, Qingdao High School attacked!
An orchestra plays the music of Koshien with great generosity.
The beautiful cheerleaders who went out with the army at Qingdao High School exuded the breath of youth.
Time seems to freeze at this moment.
Those who are familiar with baseball know that the final decisive stage of this game is coming.
After Haruka Nanami threw 107 balls, he played against Seido High School for the fourth time.
"First bat, shortstop, Kurachi."
The first to stand in the strike zone was Kuramochi, his eyes that seemed to glow.
Previously, Superintendent Kataoka gave them tasks before they went on the field.
"The opponent's pitcher has pitched 107 balls so far, and his physical strength should have reached the limit at this time, even if it has not reached the limit, there must be a big gap between his current ball power and ball speed compared to the beginning. According to the general logic, we should continue to dwell on and finish the pitcher to the end of the day. But this pitcher is not the only one in Xinglong College, and their substitute fastball pitcher is also very strong. ”
"So you're welcome, don't get entangled in this game! Play as much as we can, crush our opponents in one go, and score as many points as possible, understand? ”
"Understood!"
Superintendent Kataoka did not have any problems in the command of this field.
The fighting spirit of the friends is also very high.
In such a situation, it was the turn of the fourth round of the line of Qingdao High School.
Kurachi, who is the first baseman, is the offensive detonation device of Seido High School. His main duty is to get on base.
"The overseer has said so, this time it will be on the base no matter what!"
made up his mind, held half a point and was not polite, aimed at the first ball that flew over, and waved the baton decisively.
"Ping!"
After the white ball was hit, it bounced high.
Kuramochi's face turned unusually ugly.
Haruka Nanami's pitching was much faster than he had imagined.
"Smack!"
The baseball fell into the glove of third baseman Tsuchihara, and Kuramochi was taken out.
After exiting, Kurakachi glanced up at the display on the electronic scoreboard.
The ball speed is 145 km/h.
Sure enough, the ball was faster!
"That's bad luck!"
Kuramochi muttered dissatisfaction in his heart and walked down the strike zone.
"As soon as you are out, no one is on the base."
"Second baseman, second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato."
As Ryosuke Kominato walked into the strike zone, there were bursts of exclamations from the spectators in the stands.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Nanami Haruka's pitching became more and more sharp.
Even the ball speed has obviously improved by a notch.
"That's amazing!"
"He is worthy of being the pride of the sky, Nanami Yao."
"In this game, if it weren't for the players from Xinglong High School, Nanami Haruka wouldn't have played so badly."
The audience was babbling.
The middle-aged man with a scruffy beard in the corner listened to the discussions of the people around him, and the corners of his mouth brought a sneer.
"You guys, you really don't understand anything."
In the press box.
"What did you say?"
Owada Akiko asked in surprise as she stared at her beautiful big eyes.
Next to her, Fujifu was very bland.
"I said that Nanami Haruka-san's physical strength is about to run out."
"What are you kidding, didn't he pitch at his top speed just now?"
Owada Akiko asked suspiciously.
The corners of Fujifu's mouth brought out a good smile.
"It's because he's throwing his top speed that I would say he's almost at the limit of his stamina right now. No one knows this better than Haruka Nanami on the pitcher's mound. It was because he knew that his physical strength was starting to fail, so he deliberately increased the power of his pitching......"
Increased pitching power!
This answer was even more puzzling to her than Fujifu had told her that Haruka Nanami's physical strength was starting to fail.
"Could it be that when Nanami Haruka pitched before, he didn't do his best?"
Fujifu glanced at his partner as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Don't casually ask others about such a common-sense question, it will make people feel that you have nothing but a pair of thighs."
"Senpai!"
"There are many types of pitchers, but most of them need to practice both ball control and ball speed. The two are mutually exclusive, and the more you throw the ball and increase the speed of the ball, the easier it will be, and the ball control will not be accurate......"
After explaining the relationship between pitcher's speed and ball control, Fujio looked at Haruka Nanami and said.
"Haruka Nanami just now, probably because he knew that his physical strength was starting to be poor, so he unconsciously used too much strength, that is to say, now he has no way to ensure his ball control......"
To Owada Akiko's ears, these words were similar to listening to the book of heaven.
Even if Fujifu finished speaking, she didn't fully understand what it meant.
But in conclusion, she is aware.
Haruka Nanami is afraid that she will collapse before she lasts until the end of the game.
Even the friends of Qingdao High School know this very clearly.
When Ryosuke Kominato stood in the strike zone, he reminded himself like this.
You can't continue to entangle, you must hurry up and play, if you don't play, the pitcher will have to be replaced.
"Ping!"
After a little entanglement of two balls, Ryosuke Kominato picked a sweeter ball and hit the ball directly.
The white ball was hit and landed in the gap between the guards.
Ryosuke Kominato took the opportunity to go to first base.
One person out, one person on first base!
It was Sawamura's turn to strike.
In the previous matchup, Sawamura Eijun hit a home run.
In the face of such an opponent, whether it is Feng Xiang or Nanami Haruka, they are very careful.
Because it was already difficult to control the ball accurately, Nanami Haruka had to call all the pitches to the corners.
Sawamura tried to distinguish between good and bad balls, and then hit the ball that went into the good ball.
To be honest, it's not an easy job for Sawamura Eisumi to be honest.
It could even be said that it was too difficult!
Now Haruka Nanami is no longer able to accurately control the ball where he wants to throw.
Even if Sawamura understands him and Feng Xiang again, he can't do anything at this time.
Even if he guessed what kind of ball Feng Xiang and Nanami Haruka wanted to throw, it might not be that position that flew over.
"I hate playing against opponents who don't have a good handle of the ball!"
Regarding the result in front of him, Sawamura Eijun could only grit his teeth secretly.
Work hard to find opportunities.
But he didn't wait for this opportunity in the end.
"Bad ball!"
"Bad ball!"
"Guaranteed Base !!"
After a few balls, Sawamura successfully picked four bad shots and was sent to base.
By this time, Haruka Nanami's total number of pitches had exceeded 120.
He's running out of oil......
