The rain was dripping, and the amount was not large, but when it fell on people, it always felt wet and very annoying.

Two reporters from Baseball Kingdom magazine arrived at the stadium 15 minutes early, wearing raincoats.

As soon as she arrived at the court, Owada Akiko stared at her big beautiful eyes and looked around in great surprise.

The seats in the spectator seats around the stadium have been filled in advance, and there are even many people standing around to watch. Although the stadium in the early autumn of Tokyo University is not as pompous as Jingu Stadium and Koshien Stadium, it can accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people.

"It's just the first round of the competition, so will there be too many people? It's still raining. ”

Owada Akiko said incredulously.

Fujifu next to her was not surprised at all by the result in front of her.

"It's a matter of course. After all, this game is the king of West Tokyo and the king of East Tokyo. The overlord of Koshien competes in the quarterfinals of Koshien! To put it bluntly, this is definitely a feast not inferior to the Koshien final. How can such a feast not be eye-catching? ”

"The people of the Red Heart Brotherhood don't seem to have come?"

Owada Akiko wondered.

……

"Rush! Come on! Didong !! ”

"Rush! Come on! Didong !!! ”

"King! Qingdao !! ”

"King! Qingdao !!! ”

"Who are we?"

"King Qingdao !!!"

Before the game officially began, the cheerleaders on both sides cheered first.

Even if there were still raindrops falling in the sky, there was no way to suppress their enthusiasm.

The beautiful cheerleaders are dressed in simple clothes one by one, jumping and jumping there.

The orchestra musicians are also playing hard......

It is in this atmosphere that the Tokyo Area High School Autumn Wild Ball Tournament is held.

In the first round, Qingdao High School competed in Didong High School, and it officially began!

In the first half of the first game, Didong High School attacked.

In this game, the starting pitcher of Seido High School is, of course, their ace Sawamura.

This is an important first opponent, and the opponent is the strong Teto, and it is natural that Sawamura, who is an ace, will start the game.

Before going on the court, Miyuki deliberately looked for an opportunity to communicate with Sawamura.

"Do you give it your all in the first place?"

Sawamura shook his head.

The rain gave him a very bad premonition, and he felt that this match could be a big physical test for him.

"You don't have to give it your all at the beginning, you just have to get the number of outs solidly."

Got it!

Miyuki nodded.

Originally, the biggest consumption in a game was the pitcher, and on such a rainy day, Sawamura's physical consumption would increase by about 50%.

If all of them are aimed at strikeouts, Sawamura's physical strength may not be able to hold up. Even if it survives, there is no guarantee that the later balls will maintain the previous level.

At this time, there is no problem in choosing to retain part of the strength.

Moreover, Sawamura changed the rhythm so suddenly, and the people of Didong High School probably couldn't imagine that they might be able to catch one of them by surprise and surprise.

All the problems, both of them are well calculated.

But the development of the plot did not go according to the ideas in their minds.

Sawamura Eijun used a quirk ball on the first ball to trick the hitter of Teto High School into swinging the bat.

The plan went well, and the hitter from Tedong High School swung his bat, and the ball was hit directly in front of the third baseman.

In this game, the starting third baseman was still Hitachi, and Superintendent Kataoka still gave him a chance.

To be a starter, Hitachi himself is also very positive, and he very much wants to have a good performance to prove himself, but also to not embarrass Superintendent Kataoka. Watching the ball fall, Hitachi calmly waited in the direction where the ball bounced back, ready to catch it.

It's just that this ball didn't bounce back as Hi Li thought.

The rain stuck to the ball, and the ball fell directly there and stopped.

I'll go!

Hi Li wanted to cry, how could he always encounter such bad luck when he was competing.

Despite his anger, Hitachi was not slow, he hurriedly picked up the ball and passed to first base.

It's just that the time is so delayed, and the first stick of Didong High School has already been put on base.

Like other strong teams, the first baseman at Didong High School is their second baseman, and he is also a very fast player.

The benefits of such a player hitting the first batter are obvious, and once he hits the bases, the team's chances of scoring will increase exponentially.

Qingdao and Daocheng.

The first batter of these two teams is also this type of player. Although they have different positions, different styles, and different strengths......

But one thing is the same, and that's that they're all very fast.

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki glanced up, and the first batter of Didong High School, who showed a positive attitude of stealing bases, smiled bitterly in his heart.

This is probably the so-called disadvantage of being a teacher.

In the previous Seido High School game, as long as it was Sawamura Eisumi who played first.

In more than 95% of games, no hits are conceded in the first three innings.

Unexpectedly, today's game was just the beginning, and they lost a hit on the first batter in the first inning.

No matter how you think about it, it's very unlucky.

"Don't mind, there's no way to do that ball just now."

Miyuki gave Sawamura a code.

Pitcher Mound, Sawamura also knows this kind of thing, and they are helpless.

Originally, I wanted to retain my strength at the beginning, but now it seems that there is no such opportunity.

When someone is already on base, it is very important to be cautious about throwing quirk balls.

"Then you don't have to keep your stamina anymore! All aim for strikeouts. ”

When someone is on base, and the runner is very fast.

It is very risky to continue to rely on the guard to win the game.

In this case, it is better to aim for strikeouts.

It also takes the right time to retain physical strength, and now is not the time to retain physical strength.

Come on!

At this time, the second baton of Tedong High School stood in the strike zone.

He is an outfielder at Didong High School, and the outfielder can be ranked second in Didong, so it is not difficult to see his strength.

After standing in the strike zone, he behaved very cautiously, holding the bat in his hand for a short time, and it looked like he wanted to touch the ball no matter what.

Naturally, all this will not escape Miyuki's eyes.

It seems that Teto High School has indeed worked hard against Sawamura Rongjun.

Seeing that they knew what kind of strategy they would come up with, Miyuki could guess it.

"It's a pity, if you think you can deal with Sawamura like this, then I'm afraid it's too naïve?"

First Ball: Float the Ball!

It's raining right now, and to get the ball up, you need more wrist strength and spin.

Don't overlook that.

Miyuki can imagine it, and Sawamura naturally wants it too.

He pulled out of his stance, his wrist drooping hard.

Then the whole person threw the ball like a full bow and arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball turned into a cold light in the rain, instantly penetrating a distance of more than ten meters and appearing in front of the beater.

The hitters at Didong High School were obviously not fully prepared and could only watch the baseball fly over.

So fast!

It's so fast!
