Chapter 49: Qingdao, Falling Behind (2-in-1)
At the end of the first game, the score of the two sides became 2:2.
Qingdao High School, which only sent half of the main force, faced the heavily armed Yakushi High School, and fought a close match.
For the scene in front of them, the supporters of Qingdao High School still looked very good. Only half of the King Qingdao High School can be played like this with Yakushi High School, one of the top eight.
This fully satisfies the vanity of the supporters of Seongdo High School.
What is King? This is the real king. In Koshien, what about the most violent line-playing pharmacist high school in the country, which terrifies other teams?
When I met them at Qingdao High School, I still took a break.
Don't say it at this time, Sanada, the ace pitcher of Yakushi High School, didn't play. You must know that the ace pitcher of Seido High School also did not play, and not only the ace pitcher Sawamura Sakae did not play, but even the substitutes Shibuyani and Kawakami did not play. Only sent a rookie pitcher and half of the main team, and it was this virtue with Yakushi High School.
It's evenly matched!
How can the supporters of Qingdao High School not be excited by such a scene?
Originally, they were still a little dissatisfied with Superintendent Kataoka sending a newcomer like Wang Xi as a pitcher in this kind of scene.
After all, the opponent is not a fish belly team, but also a sworn enemy and a strong rival in the same district.
Qingdao High School is likely to capsize in the gutter.
Now it seems that their worries are completely unfounded.
Looking at the posture of Qingdao High School, even if you use half of the substitutes on the field, you can also inflict bloody abuse on the opponent.
"Qingdao!"
"Qingdao !!"
Although Wang Xi has a certain reputation in the world, his reputation in Tokyo has not yet been completely beaten.
Supporters of Qingdao High School are not very familiar with him.
Even if he was satisfied with his performance on both ends of the pitch, he couldn't be named for a while.
But it doesn't matter, since it's a pitcher at Qingdao High School, it's good to cheer for Qingdao High School directly.
Tens of thousands of fans in the stands were like crazy, chanting the name of Seido High School.
That is, the audience at the scene can understand what is going on, at this time, the passers-by who are isolated outside the Jingu Stadium hear the sound inside, and they may think that Qingdao High School has locked the victory in advance.
"Look at this posture, Qingdao High School has already won?"
"Impossible, it's only been a few minutes since the game started?"
"Nothing impossible, that's the king of Qingdao!"
In the eyes of many viewers, they are used to the final victory of Qingdao High School.
The excited and frantic spectators put aside for a moment and just talked about the next game.
In the second game, both teams showed a very high level. Especially their pitchers!
The substitute team replaced by Qingdao High School is still quite a gap compared with the original main force.
Mishima relied on his good ball sense and barely suppressed the playing line of Qingdao High School.
Although someone went to base, they didn't score in the end.
And in the first half of the second inning!
After Wang Xi lost two points, the whole person completely let go.
He showed a very superb pitching at this time, and also made the Yakushi High School players go up and down three times.
This is something that even the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School are very excited, not to mention the spectators in the audience.
At this moment, in the stands of Jingu Stadium, all the supporters of Seido High School have gone completely crazy. Now they all feel like they have become immortals, and they are all floating.
The opponent is Yakushi High School.
Although they are supporters of Seido High School, one of which is that other teams ignore it, but they also have to admit that there are two teams in Nishitokyo that are different from the others.
One of these two teams is Daocheng Industry, and the other is Yakushi High School.
Before today's game, let them touch their conscience and say that they also think that the Yakushi High School can have a certain impact on Qingdao High School.
Whether it's in the Tokyo game or in the Koshien race before.
Pharmacist High School has relied on its superb strength and has been recognized by everyone.
I didn't expect today's game to be completely different.
King Qingdao High School is King Qingdao High School, your uncle is still your uncle!
Although Yakushi High School performed very well when playing against other big teams. But compared to Qingdao High School, it is not good at all.
Didn't you see that Qingdao High School only sent a rookie pitcher, and it made Yakushi High School want to die......
In the rest area of Yakushi High School.
Thunder Hide, who was lazily lying on the rest chair, was full of the sound of the mountains and tsunami cheering for Qingdao High School.
At this time, the corners of his mouth outlined a cold smile.
The opponent is too rampant!
It seems to be true, treating their Yakushi High School as a soft persimmon.
"The kid on the other side is dancing so happily, shouldn't you teach them a lesson? Don't let it be low, where are your first-grade juniors showing off their might? ”
Listening to the words of the superintendent of the thunder hide, the eyes of the players of Yakushi High School became extremely vicious.
They originally belong to the type of self-indulgence, even if the thunder hides and does not fan the flames, they are definitely not easy people.
Recently, they were ordered by the general superintendent, and of course they will not give up the opportunity to attack.
In the first half of the third inning, Pharmacist High School attacked.
At this time, the line of pharmacist high school returned to the first bat.
The first to hit is Akiba!
In the first game before, he also took the lead to score a hit, and Wang Xi only lost two points.
Wang Xi carefully looked at the autumn leaves in the strike area.
This guy doesn't look very strong, and he doesn't look very good. It's the kind of type that once you throw it in the pile, you can't find it again.
In the TV series, at most, it is a tricky character who can't live for three seconds.
Before, when Seido High School collected materials. Although this guy is compared to Thunder City and Mishima.
But looking at everyone's meaning, you also know that the strength of this guy in front of him is not half a star worse than those two.
It shouldn't be difficult to solve him.
"If I really think so, I'm afraid I don't even know how to die!"
Wang Xi's first pitch before was hit by Autumn Leaves.
If it weren't for his good start, Qingdao High School wouldn't be as passive as it is now.
In the face of this opponent, Wang Xi can't be cautious if he wants to.
After some hesitation, he still gave Ono a code to collude.
Pinball!
Seeing that his partner's pitcher is so reliable, Ono should be very relieved.
But Ono didn't.
Although Wang Xi's bullet ball is indeed very sharp, it is very undesirable to use it all the time.
First of all, the sharper the change, the greater the burden on the pitcher himself.
Like Wang Xi's bullet ball, there is also a limit to the number of shots he can throw in a game. If this limit is exceeded, even if it can be voted in the end, the quality will inevitably be greatly reduced!
In addition to this, there is another point that is particularly important. It's just to keep throwing and switch to a bullet ball as the core.
The opponents are not fools, they will definitely get used to the ball.
Ordinary fish belly opponents are just that, even if they are used to it, it is very difficult to get them to hit.
But an opponent like Yakushi High School is very different, once they get used to Wang Xi's bullets, Wang Xi has no hole cards.
Ono was in a tangle.
Wang Xi on the pitcher's mound is very open.
Don't worry about it, we are now forced to go to Liangshan. If I hadn't used the ball, I wouldn't have been able to play against my Yakushi High opponents.
So it's no longer possible to think about physical strength and habits!
If you think about that, Wang Xi can't take a single step at all.
So there is really only one thing they can do now, and that is to move forward regardless of the consequences.
Give your best and go all out to get outs.
If you can take a few, take a few more.
As for what to do after the physical strength is exhausted, or the opponent is used to the ball?
Wang Xi took a deep look at the direction of the rest area of Qingdao High School.
He has never been more confident.
He is not the only pitcher in Qingdao High School, once his physical strength is really on the verge of the limit, Qingdao High School has a basket of pitchers waiting to play.
Come on!
Wang Xi, who let go of everything, is like a tiger who has been opened to the prison door.
After it was released, it was wanton.
"Ping!"
"Out!"
Strike!
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!!"
"Strikeout!!
Autumn leaves were suppressed by Wang Xi's ball speed and directly hit the outfield high fly.
The outfielder steadily picked the ball into his own glove and helped Seongdo High School win the first out.
Immediately after that, it was the turn of the second batter of Yakushi High School.
Wang Xi behaved as if he was hanging, and he was stunned to knock out the opponent with a bullet ball.
At this time, his performance was already like two people compared to the performance of the first game.
It's scary!
In the rest area of Yakushi High School, Thunder Zang was startled.
It's not that he doesn't know that Wang Xi has great potential!
But it's not that strong, is it?
Looking at that look, it was as if the whole of Yakushi High School was going to be suppressed.
In fact, no one has ever done it except Sawamura Eijun of Seido High School.
The pitchers of other teams are not good, Wang Xi has such signs in a small first grade.
No way! Absolutely not.
Shaking his body, Thunder Hide's gaze began to become gloomy.
He stared intently at Mishima in the strike zone!
For the other players, they were all facing Wang Xi's bullet ball for the first time.
But Mishima is different, he was solved by a bullet ball before.
It is said that eating a trench grows wisdom, and he has seen Wang Xi bullet before.
By now, I think I'm getting used to the speed and characteristics of the other team.
It's up to you, Mishima Kid!
"Wow wow!"
Mishima, who stood on the strike zone, felt very scary.
The bat in his hand was held high by him. It looks like it's going to take a home run.
With such a momentum of swinging the stick with all his might, the friends of Qingdao High School can't be negligent.
That kind of power swing, let alone hitting the center of the ball, even if it rubs against the white ball.
There is a high probability that the little white ball will be taken out.
Therefore, dealing with such a hitter is also a very difficult test for the pitcher.
Wang Xi fortunately saw the world and was not intimidated by the other party's high momentum. At least you can't tell he's nervous when he's pitching.
"Whoosh!"
The small white ball was like a laser light, and it instantly crossed a distance of 18 meters and came to the eyes of the beater.
"It's good to come!"
Mishima let out a loud cry in his heart, and waved the bat in his hand without hesitation.
He couldn't wait to hit the little white ball in front of him.
Think you're going to be able to play a ball, huh?
In front of his Uncle Mishima, these are not problems.
"Ping!"
After being touched, the white ball flew high and fell into the gap between the guards.
"Safety!"
Relying on this ball, Mishima went to first base naturally.
Catcher's position.
Ono's brow furrowed, and the sense of foreboding in his heart grew stronger.
No, very not.
The other party caught the bullet ball so quickly!
Although it didn't hit the center of the ball accurately, it was already able to fly the ball out.
So much so that now although they have won two outs, there are also people who have managed to get on the bases.
What's more, they also have to face the hitters who are about to make their debut.
That is, the monster who became famous in the spring Koshien before fought hard, and thundered the city.
That's the biggest headache.
Ono hesitated, whether to simply escort the other party.
He knew in his heart that Wang Xi was not a person who liked to escape.
But now this situation, with the thunder city, seems to be a bit silly.
So he looked at the rest area of Qingdao High School for help.
Superintendent Kataoka sat in the rest area and didn't say a word.
No instructions were given.
Ono gritted his teeth secretly!
That means let's do it.
The score on the field was 2:2, and it was not completely risk-taking.
He looked at the pitcher mound and nodded firmly at Wang Xi.
Without the support of Superintendent Kataoka, he could only be in the same boat with Wang Xi at this time.
I only hope that Wang Xi can fully play his own characteristics and not be easily caught by others.
Come on!
Looking at the trust code that Ono called, Wang Xi nodded very movingly.
Now no matter who the opponent is, he is out of the way.
"Whoosh!"
Pulling away from the stance, he used all the strength of his body. Wang Xi threw the white ball in his hand fiercely.
Fast!
It was like a dazzling white light, which came to the front in an instant.
Quack, quack......
A small white ball that looks like a bullet is about to pass through the good ball belt in the blink of an eye.
Thunder City suddenly moved.
"Boom!"
It was as if it was going to drain all the air around it in an instant. Make the catchers in the catcher position feel suffocated.
"Ping..."
The bat hit the white ball with precision, and swept the white ball away.
After the white ball was knocked out, it drew a beautiful arc and landed at the back of the field.
"Smack!"
The small white ball bounced off the ground and slammed into the parapet.
"Haha!"
Mishima, who had been prepared for a long time, had already started running before the Thunder City strike.
For them, who have already been out of the game twice, no amount of more outs at this time is meaningless.
Running and running is a natural outcome.
By the time the little white ball hit the ground, he was halfway there.
By the time the white ball bounced off the wall, he was already on second base.
The bloated body did not slow down the man, and I saw him jump over second and third base non-stop, and go straight to home base......
"Safety!"
Before the white ball was passed, Mishima made it to home plate.
The score on the field will be pulled away again.
The score became 3:2.
King Qingdao High School, one point behind!!
