Chapter 44: Counterattack (Part 3)

"Ping!"

The little white ball, soaring into the sky, flew very high, but not particularly far.

The baseball ended up in the left field, using all of its power and falling almost vertically.

Sawamura, who had been prepared for a long time, waited in advance for the location where the baseball fell, and almost effortlessly caught the small white ball in his glove.

"Smack!"

"Out!!"

After Chris, he hit the sixth baton and hit the outfield high.

After winning this last number of outs, the first- and second-year teams of Qingdao High School can be considered to have completed their first game.

Although Masuko only played the outfield and did not be able to continue the team's offensive, no one would underestimate him because of this, it was this guy who seemed to be a blind cannon, and contributed a full three home runs on the Koshien field.

His contribution to the team is definitely no less than that of others, although he often makes a fool of himself, but that is only because of his personal style.

The consequence of swinging the stick with all your strength is likely to be a strikeout or a high fly, but as long as you happen to hit him, it will solve the problem with a single blow.

That's the charm of the heavy hitters.

After the garrison was over, everyone returned to the rest area.

Every player on the field was tired enough.

If you really want to talk about the amount of exercise, everyone is just guarding a game, and the amount of exercise is actually not particularly large. But that huge pressure has always lingered on their heads.

It's so strong! Really strong!

It's just unimaginably strong.

These third-grade seniors, whose strength was already extremely terrifying, have gone through the transformation of Koshien, and their strength has reached a higher level, reaching a height unimaginable to ordinary people.

And not only in terms of strength, but also in their momentum, which is terrifying.

In the face of such an opponent, the first and second grade players on the field are under tremendous psychological pressure.

Needless to say, even Miyuki scratched his head a little.

"Hey, hey, aren't the seniors too strong?"

Even if they were in Koshien before, they didn't seem to be so terrifying.

"During that period of time in Koshien, the strength of the seniors was more or less a breakthrough. But that is also the stage when the strength has just broken through, and there is still a period of growth after that. ”

Sawamura was not surprised.

There is a saying that many people know, and that is that during this period of time in Koshien, a player tends to make great progress.

This is the legend that belongs to Koshien.

Others think it's a legend, and there are those who believe in it and those who don't, but Sawamura Eijun doesn't doubt this because he has seen too much.

And he knows better than anyone else.

In Koshien, players who break through in strength will also have a period of rapid growth in strength for a period of time in the future.

The third-year seniors have experienced a period of rapid growth in strength during this time.

Now their strength is even stronger than the strength they had when they were in Koshien!

"If that's the case, then this game is really hard to play!"

Miyuki smiled bitterly.

"There were so many points conceded in the first game that no matter how hard it was, we had to get it back. Otherwise, the game would really be in suspense. ”

Sawamura's statement, Miyuki also agrees.

"yes, you have to get your score back as soon as possible!"

When the two were discussing counter-attacking tactics, the coaching staff also commented on the strengths and weaknesses of Akira Tsukiya.

"When there are people on the base, his performance is still too immature!"

Ochiai's tone was mixed with a bit of disappointment.

Originally, he thought that the current Gu Xiao already had a certain amount of strength.

I didn't expect to be so vulnerable when I actually competed with the third-grade students.

"He was a complete wild man before, and he had no experience, so it's not easy to grow to this level, right?"

Minister Ota is still as kind as ever.

"Next, we will do special training for his garrison. Otherwise, with his current state, it would be difficult to give him the pitcher mound in a critical situation. ”

In the second half of the first game, the first and second grades attacked.

"First bat, shortstop, Kurachi."

Kuramochi is still the offensive engine of the new team.

When the new team was just formed, the coaching staff also had a lot of ideas for Kurachi's position, but after thinking about it, it was the first one that was the most suitable for him.

This guy's characteristics are so obvious that as long as he can get on base, he will immediately set off a wave of offensive frenzy.

In other words, as long as he can hit base, the probability of Qingdao High School scoring in the first inning will be greatly improved.

It's an effect that no one else can compensate for.

So after the formation of the new team, he is still the first stick that cannot be beaten.

As the vice captain of the team and one of the current pillars, Kuramochi has a high fighting spirit after standing in the strike zone.

"Senior Tanba, I won't show mercy!"

Those who have experienced the growth of Koshien are not only the third-grade seniors, but also the Yochi Kuramochi.

Let me show you how fast I am.

"Ping!"

Kuramochi directly put out a short shot and touched the ball with a short shot.

Good!

Although the speed at which the ball rolled out was a bit slow, Kuramochi was satisfied.

With his speed, by the time the keeper picks up the ball, he'll be able to run to first base.

The moment the ball was touched, Kuramochi spread his bat, and the whole person rushed out with a roar like a leopard chasing its prey.

Not slower than his movements, Chris, who had been in the trapper's position, rushed out in two steps, one lunged, and threw the small white ball that rolled down into his glove.

Then get up and make a neat pass to first base.

"Smack!"

"Out !!"

This clean and neat action directly shocked the audience.

Kurachi didn't even run halfway, and he was blocked out.

"What?"

"It's too fast."

"Slow down."

"Don't be stupid, this is the scene."

Everyone was amazed at Chris's performance, and Kuramochi himself was dumbfounded.

That ball, how could the catcher pounce so quickly?

The catcher should stand up before blocking the ball, and after standing up, he should also calculate the distance and run forward......

It's hard to do that and you can stop the ball cleanly.

Chris did it, and it was more clean than anyone thinks.

He didn't even have time to stand up, just this squatting posture, the whole person was like a charging spear.

During the whole process, there was not the slightest hesitation.

He hesitated a little, and the little white balls flew out.

Kuramochi gave Chris a deep look before he left the field.

Scary guys!

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

"Second baseman, second baseman, Haruchi Kominato."

Haruichi Kominato not only took the place of his brother's second baseman, but also his brother's baseman.

"Come on, Minato!"

"Look at your performance, demon brother!"
