The game went to the third inning, and Kawakami, a second-year senior, walked up to the pitcher's hill.

As a player in the same grade, he was promoted to the first army at about the same time. Although Miyuki and Kawakami take two completely different paths.

But the cooperation between them is very tacit. Seeing Kawakami's high-spirited appearance, Miyuki felt very excited.

Did Xiao's performance stimulate him before?

Compared with the previous training, today's Gu Xiao is obviously a little out of shape, but even the Gu Xiao who is not in the state in front of him is still remarkable.

The absolute trump card in the team is Sawamura!

Although the strength of Akira Shibuyani and Kawakami is good, there is obviously a very big gap between their strength and Sawamura.

So in a short period of time, the three are not comparable. At the very least, the two of them can't be compared with Sawamura in a short period of time.

The level is too bad!

But the two of them are comparable to each other, and even to some extent, the two are still in direct competition.

No matter what tournament it is, it is almost impossible for Sawamura to hold on alone, so he definitely needs a rotating replacement.

This is also known as the pitcher's main bench.

Although this person does not have a positive number, it is generally regarded as a positive choice. This position is much stronger than the average substitute.

During the period when Sawamura was resting, who could take this place?

Is it Akira Shibuyani or Kawakami?

It depends on the form of the two of them, as well as the result of this match.

Seeing that Akira performed so well, Kawakami was aroused, and it was not completely impossible.

"Our opponents are not ordinary, and they probably know more about your strength than Gu Xiao now. Don't look at just two matchups, if you're not careful, ......"

Before going on the field, Miyuki deliberately found Kawakami and wanted to have a simple communication with him.

"I know!"

To this, Kawakami's answer was very calm and calm.

It seems that during this time in the rest area, he has already felt the atmosphere of the game.

That couldn't be better!

Miyuki was secretly relieved and returned to the catcher's position, and the game restarted.

"First bat, shortstop, Araki."

Watching Araki walk into the strike zone, everyone at the beginning, no one took it too seriously.

This game between the third-grade seniors and the first- and second-grade juniors has been played two rounds unconsciously.

Through these two games, everyone quickly discovered a problem.

That is, those main players who have made it to Koshien before and others who have not made Koshien, or even if they have made Koshien, are also substitutes.

Between them, there is a clear gap.

Originally, there was a gap between the main player and the substitute player, otherwise why would people be the main force and you can only be a substitute?

It's just that in a giant team like Qingdao High School, the main team and the substitutes are very good, and the gap between them shouldn't be too obvious.

But in the previous game, the gap between the two sides was obvious.

"These main players who have experienced Koshien and exchanged competitions with the top players in the country have grown by leaps and bounds in this period of time. The gap between them and their former teammates has also come out. ”

Coach Ochiai pinched the little mustache on his chin and said in a deep voice.

Koshien is really a very magical place, and after seeing and competing there, the players generally grow to varying degrees.

Araki, in the original Seido High School baseball team, was a substitute shortstop.

Even though Kawakami didn't play much in Koshien, he played several times.

And Araki, except for two Kataoka supervisions, let the substitute Koshien feel the atmosphere on the field, the rest of the time, he has not appeared.

It is precisely because of this reason that everyone didn't treat Araki as a dish too much at first.

Even Miyuki and Kawakami, who are direct opponents, generally think so.

They never thought about what difficulties would arise when dealing with Araki?

But the real situation is often the opposite, although Araki is only a substitute in the Seido High School baseball team, it doesn't mean that he is not good!

His strength is used to deal with a monster of Gu Xiao's level, and he may really be overstretched.

But when it is used to deal with Kawakami, it is not completely out of reach.

Moreover, Araki is not the same for Kawakami as he is for Akira Tsuki.

It has only been half a year since Xiaogu joined Qingdao High School. And in the past six months, Xiaogu has learned from scratch, and his strength is changing with each passing day.

In such a situation, it becomes very difficult to find out his pitch.

Kawakami is different, Kawakami has been in Qingdao High School for two years, and in these two years, everyone has a clear understanding of his strength.

That includes Araki.

"Kawakami's ball, I've wanted to play it for a long time!"

"Ping!"

Faced with the ball thrown by Kawakami, Araki hit the ball directly.

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki frowned.

The ball path was guessed!

It's a bit awkward.

For the first goal, Yukiichi did not give a clear code.

According to the information he has, the first ball Araki senior generally does not swing a bat.

So no matter what kind of ball Kawakami plays first, it should be very safe. This is also the reason why Miyuki let Kawakami decide to pitch on his own.

Unexpected!

"We know our opponents, and our opponents know us!"

Miyuki smiled bitterly.

The white ball hit the ball on second base and bounced.

"Go ahead and get out in one go!"

"Hit! Hit!! ”

Just as Araki rushed out and was about to go to base, a figure suddenly came out and stopped in front of the baseball.

Because the baseball rebounded relatively low, he deliberately changed the position of his glove and stopped the ball very safely.

"Smack!"

The little white ball got into the glove, and the figure kept passing the ball to first base.

"Smack!"

"Out!"

Araki played this ball very well, but unfortunately, the second baseman of the freshman high school baseball team was not given for nothing.

It was just Kominato Haruichi, who shot out of the air, stopped the ball, and passed it to first base.

"Well done!"

"Worthy of a demon brother."

"My brother is a good man, and my brother is not bad."

……

Not only the audience was amazed, but even the coaching staff spoke highly of Kominato's performance just now.

"The position of the elder brother, the substitute of the younger brother, there should be no problem!"

"The ability to garrison, compared to his brother, is still a little worse!"

……
