Chapter Seventy-Six: Takatsu's Enlightenment
The orientation competition between new and old students of Qingdao High School is in full swing.
This game attracted the attention of almost all the players in the baseball club of Seongdo High School, and most of them were busy and watched this game live.
In the distance, two more figures arrived belatedly, probably after completing their training, and came to watch the game.
These two people are none other than Tojo and Kanemaru.
"I don't know how their game went? Speaking of which, we were new students last year, but now that I think about it, it feels like a lifetime away, so I hope they can show their strength......"
Kanemaru muttered with a smile.
It was he who dragged Tojo here, although he was also under a lot of pressure during this time. It is necessary to compete with two rising freshmen for the main position.
However, he can't bear the loneliness because he likes to be lively by nature, and he misses the excitement of the welcome game, but he will regret it for life.
So no matter what, he has to pull his friends to watch.
Tojo, however, has a different view from Kanemaru.
"As a senior, I want to solve the freshmen cleanly!"
"What's the matter with your sudden bad face?"
"We can't be the only ones to be ashamed."
Tojo's credo is to be ashamed, and everyone will be ashamed together. Don't let anyone go......
They can't lose people that time, and this session will have a counterattack.
Then they look too wasteful.
When the two saw the score on the field, they were stunned.
They looked at each other, and Kanemaru muttered.
"These guys are too capable!"
There was a clean sheet!
Although it was only one game, Wang Xi had obviously been promoted to the first army. Could it be that in the freshman team, there are players with similar strength?
"The attack in this game is not over yet, and it is uncertain whether it will be a clean sheet."
Tojo's tone was also a little stubborn.
It's really a scene in front of me, it's so surprising. The new students are far more capable than they can imagine.
Except for the seven points in the first game, the freshmen didn't seem to lose too many points on a large scale.
In the second game, they only lost two points.
Now in the third game, the freshman has won two outs, and the score has not been lost.
It's incredible.
On the court, Asada feels amazing right now.
He used to be a substitute in the middle school team, how could he have experienced such a scene?
It is logical to be able to solve such a strong senior!
That's amazing!
Okumura-san: He's amazing.
"It's not the time to relax, and if you don't get the last out, there's no point in what you've done."
Okumura, who is in the position of the catcher, is extremely clear-headed.
He did not get carried away by the victory in front of him, but persistently pursued a greater victory.
"There is still one last out, and if you want to end this game smoothly, you must take this last out."
Asada nodded heavily, and then threw the small white ball in his hand without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
The trajectory of the white ball was as tricky as ever, and it fell before it entered the good ball belt.
Even if he was already prepared in his heart, the old second batter was still a little hurried to deal with this ball.
"Ping!"
He could only barely touch the ball.
The white ball bounced off the ground and bounced back into the position where the second baseman was guarding.
Tama picked up the ball effortlessly and sent it to first base.
"Out!"
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
In this game, Lao Sheng was not able to score.
"Ahhhhh!!!h
The freshmen in the rest area were fried all at once.
The situation on the pitch changed immediately, and there was no way to control that.
People's faith is added up little by little, and when faced with the old students, these new students are like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
They simply don't know how to resist.
At that time, the old students could naturally brew them as they wanted.
But now it's different, and a head sheep has appeared in the flock.
They know how to resist.
Plus a hound that matches the head sheep.
I want to continue scoring, and it suddenly becomes difficult.
The old students looked at each other one by one.
On the one hand, they felt incredulous about the scene in front of them, and on the other hand, they did not know what to do.
"Now it's impossible to simply rely on momentum to abuse opponents. can only do it with the real knife and the real gun. Let them see what we have learned in the past two years at Qingdao High School. ”
Sweat and tears don't deceive people, the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School, even the friends of the Second Army, their sweat is enough for a big bucket.
Under the guidance of Sawamura Eijun, the momentum of the friends has changed.
They have completely regarded the freshmen as opponents on equal standing.
"The other party has just reversed the momentum, and it looks very strong. But that's actually when they're at their weakest......"
After Sawamura Eisumi finished speaking, he set his eyes on Takatsu.
Takatsu nodded at Sawamura Eijun.
Among their star players this year, only Takatsu has not yet joined the first army. Gao Jin's heart is inevitably a little awkward, and he is inevitably estranged from several other friends.
But with Sawamura Eijun, he has never felt like this.
On the one hand, Sawamura Eijun has no shelf, and on the other hand, because the gap between the two is too big, he has no confidence to compare.
In short, the relationship between the two is not bad.
Before the next round of attacks, of course. The old students must first face the attack of the new students.
Kawashima, who had been on third base before, did not score an inch. I was already holding back a fire in my heart, and I completely vented it at this time.
And his opponents are none other than the lower hitters in the freshmen.
The freshman's lower line, the strength can be imagined. It's really not a hassle to solve them.
Very easily, Kawashima won three outs. Completed the defense of the old team's inning.
In this way, the score on the field was still 9:0. The game went to the fourth game, and it was the turn of the old team to attack again.
It was not easy for him to hold the situation, but the old team easily won three outs.
Such a gap in strength is still quite a big blow to the freshmen.
Even Coach Ochiai on the side nodded his head again and again.
is worthy of being a player who has been supervised and trained by Kataoka, and these veterans in the Seido High School baseball team are not a little better than the freshmen.
They are more aware of their own strengths and are more effective in recognizing their position. Not to mention the cooperation, it is even more handy for them.
In contrast, the new students are more lacking.
The reason why he was able to barely play evenly just now was entirely due to the star players.
Mitsufune Okumura!
Although this player performed very well when everyone tested together before, it was only very good, and he was definitely not top-notch.
The top-notch are the generals, Wang Xi and Youjingfu.
But once the competition is played, the presence of this player suddenly comes out. Faintly already has the demeanor of a super pitcher.
I think that Kataoka will also have a lot of headaches, and there are two more outstanding pitchers on the team. How to choose at that time has become a big problem?
But this is also a happy trouble, and the other teams can't get a catcher like this, so they have more headaches.
Just when Coach Ochiai was touching the mustache on his chin and thinking nonsense, there was a noticeable change in the game on the field.
Mimura, who was the first to stand in the strike zone, is on the base!
Without any psychological preparation at the beginning, Mimura directly used a short game to steal the base.
Such a move obviously caught the freshmen off guard, and by the time they reacted, Mimura's foot had already stepped on the first base.
"Safety!"
No one is out, and the runner is on first base.
In the position of the catcher, Okumura's gaze was a little deep.
He knew that these seniors in front of him had finally begun to get serious, and they no longer regarded these people as ordinary newcomers, but as equal opponents.
So they completely gave up on the senior's shelf and went all out to play the game.
"It's horrible!"
I took a deep look at Sawamura in the old student's rest area.
Okumura is well aware that being able to do this is due to Eijun Sawamura, who is the commander. Without absolute authority, it is difficult to get all the old students to do this willingly.
It was at this time that Takatsu stood in the strike zone.
As expected, the freshmen once again put on the same formation as before. All the players pressed up, and the outfielders were up to the point where they could go straight to home plate.
Don't lose a point!
Although they did not shout such slogans, they spoke for themselves with their actions.
This is the fighting spirit shown by the new students, the fighting spirit that will not back down.
Takatsu on the strike zone, as if he hadn't seen anything. Raise the bat in his hand and look lightly at Asada on the pitcher's mound.
This opponent is different from the previous opponent and must be very cautious.
Originally, Okumura wanted to say this, but he was afraid of causing too much unnecessary pressure on Asada.
After thinking about it, I finally gave up.
At this time, the most important thing is to let Asada keep his pitching condition.
In the inside corner, a falling curveball!
Playing the code of this ball, Okumura's gloves deviated slightly from the good ball belt.
In this way, even if the ball is hit. There is also a high probability of going to a throw-in.
"Whoosh!"
Asada is now convinced by Okumura, and when he saw Okumura's code, he threw the ball directly.
The small white ball flew like a white light.
It's just that this white light is much slower than other white lights, and you can see the spots of white light.
Takatsu in the strike zone gives people the feeling of no joy or sorrow. I watched the little white ball fly over, and then swung the bat in my hand as if it were a matter of course.
"Buzz!"
The sound of breaking the air brought by the swing of the stick was like a storm, and the thunder resounded in the wind and rain.
"Ping!"
After the white ball was hit, it suddenly turned into a more dazzling white light, and at the same time, it was like a falling meteor.
Fell to the big rear of the outfield.
Mimura, the runner on first base, ran straight back to home plate.
Not even that, even the batter Takatsu crossed first base, second base, third base, and finally pounced on home plate.
By the time the new fielder passed the ball back, Hiroshi Takatsu's foot had already stepped on the home plate.
"Safety!"
Another two-point home run.
So far, the veterans have scored 11 points.
Takatsu himself took almost half of it.
In today's game, his whole person is as invincible as if he was hanging.
