Chapter Twenty-One: Brutal High School
The total score became 4:0, and with Sawamura Eisumi winning this home run, Seido High School won, and there seemed to be no doubt about it.
The only regret is that the third high school of the city university has not given up resistance, even if it is a home run for the second time, Tianjiu Guangsheng still has an expression of not admitting defeat.
It's the nature of a player!
No matter how unfavorable the situation is, it cannot shake the confidence of the pitcher.
From this point of view, Tianjiu Guangsheng is already a very qualified trump card.
Even the Kataoka supervisor of Seido High School was full of praise for the performance of Akuru Saint.
"Mr. Kataoka seems to appreciate the opponent's ace pitcher, huh?"
Coach Ochiai touched the mustache on his chin and asked strangely.
Speaking of the talent of pitching, Qingdao High School has the big demon king Sawamura Rongjun, and the super monster of Tsukitani Xiao, who is definitely not under the Tianjiu Light Saint.
Even if the current strength is used as the evaluation standard, Sawamura Rongjun's strength is at least one street away from the Heavenly Glory Saint.
It seems that no matter how talented Ama Kosage is, there is no need for Kataoka to appreciate it so much.
But looking at the expression of Superintendent Kataoka, this is not the case at all.
Even through the sunglasses, the admiration in the eyes of Superintendent Kataoka could not be hidden.
Superintendent Kataoka nodded, but didn't say anything.
A natural ace pitcher, in addition to superb ball skills, his own psychological quality must also be excellent. Sawamura Eijun is so superb because his own ball skills are so superb that from his debut to the present, he has never experienced a real desperate situation.
No matter how difficult the situation is, as long as Sawamura Eijun is present, the team has hope of catching it back. So he never had a chance to show this side.
Tsuki Gu is also fearless!
But his fearlessness stems more from the flaws of his character. Xiao's personality is too selfish, so he will never admit defeat......
In contrast, Tenku's fighting spirit of fighting to the death even if he knew he was invincible really made Kataoka appreciate it very much.
Even after hitting a home run twice, this player still has a smile on his face.
This is a very rare thing, and it is also one thing that Kataoka appreciates very much.
"Regardless of the situation on the court, he was actively pitching and enjoying the game."
It felt like a kid who had just learned to play baseball.
With the pitching skills that Tianjiu Guangsheng is showing now, of course, he can't really just learn to play baseball, so it is rare that he can still perform like this.
"This player is naturally suitable to be a pitcher!"
At this time, Superintendent Kataoka looked at the Akuru Saint on the pitcher's hill from afar. In his mind, he couldn't help but start recalling his last batch of disciples.
The boy called Koichiro Tanba.
When it comes to pitching talent, Koichiro Tanba is actually not bad at all. If his character is stronger, even if he can't reach the top in the country, it will be no problem to reach this level in the country.
Pity......
In addition to the cultivation of skills, the cultivation of the player's character is also the top priority.
The game on the court continued, and after Sawamura scored a home run, the situation on the field became that no one was out and no one was on base.
Miyuki Kazuya, who walked into the strike zone, was full of energy. Of course he has the drive, and the situation in front of him is a good opportunity to crush his opponent in one go.
No matter how calm Tianjiu Guangsheng behaved, he who had just been hit a home run, must be in a hurry to get back to his state now.
So there are only two kinds of pitches that can be chosen, either a sharp straight ball or a slippery ball that he is best at on weekdays.
As for the longitudinal slider that he has newly honed and now uses as the decisive goal. At this time, the Tianjiu Light Saint will not be used 100%.
Why?
It's very simple, because the home run that has just been won by Sawamura Eijun is the longitudinal slider of Akuru Kosheng.
In the weakness of human nature, there is the inferior root nature of being bitten by a snake and being afraid of the well rope for ten years.
The ball that has just been hit by a home run, even if the pitcher is not convinced, still wants to continue to throw. The catcher will definitely not allow it either.
Come on!
Miyuki Kazuya, who has calculated everything, stands close to the inside corner of the ball belt at the beginning.
He completely blocked the space for the Celestial Light Saint to use the slider.
This approach naturally made Gao Jian and Tianjiu very dissatisfied.
This guy !!
Looking deeply at the strike zone, it seems that Miyuki Kazuya is deliberately provocative. Takami's heart is full of uneasiness.
Now he is also in a dilemma.
Originally, I wanted to use the slide that Tianjiu Guangsheng is best at, but now it seems that there is no play.
No!
It shouldn't be thought of that way.
Like a wake-up call, a thought suddenly popped up in Takami's mind.
The opponent is deliberately blocking the space for a long time, but in the same way, once the slider is really thrown.
The current Yukiichi should be helpless, right?
With this in mind, Takami glanced up at Amaku on the pitcher's mound.
At this time, Tianjiu Guangsheng obviously thought of it with him. After seeing the code made by Takami, he nodded without hesitation.
The more the opponent thinks that he can't throw the slider at this time, the more he wants to throw it.
Tianjiu Guangsheng is such a stubborn guy.
After receiving the code, there was almost no pause, and the ball was thrown directly.
The white ball seemed to fly towards Mikochiya.
And Yuyuki, who was standing in the strike zone at this moment, saw the white jade ball flying towards him, but he didn't panic at all.
Unhurriedly, he shifted his body to his side, and then his feet slid a step naturally.
Unconsciously, he was originally standing close to the ball belt in the inner corner, but he actually vacated more than ten centimeters of space.
At this time, it seems that the slider of the Tianjiu Light Saint will not be able to touch the Miyuki.
Thinking that Yu Xing was frightened, he took the initiative to retreat from Gao Jian.
When I saw this scene, a trace of joy flashed in my heart.
If Miyuki takes the initiative to retreat, then their next match will be easy.
It's just that his smile hasn't been conveyed to his heart, and there has been a new change in the situation.
It seems that he is at ease, but Miyuki's retreat is not a sudden whim, or he is so frightened that he simply retreats.
He had a plan.
To put it bluntly, he withdrew on purpose. The purpose is to seduce the shooting partner of the third high school in the city and seduce the ball he wants.
Here it comes!
The other party is as if he is acting according to the script set by Yukiichi, and there is no deviation at all.
Throws the exact same ball that Yukiichi guessed.
Hee-hee...
At this time, even the calm Miyukiichi had no way to stay calm.
He was so happy!
And he didn't hide his happiness at all.
"Ping!"
The slider that was bitten was hit directly.
After the baseball was played, it drew a perfect arc and fell between the two fielders.
Yukiichi also spread the bat in his hand and ran to second base without stopping.
The situation became nobody's out, and there were people on second base.
Seeing this scene, the supporters of Qingdao High School felt that the blood in their bodies was rushing.
They excitedly called out the names of Seido High School and Miyuki Kazuya. According to the characteristics of Qingdao High School, it is certain that they will win additional points this time.
Don't underestimate this bonus point...
It's now in the sixth game, and it's going to be fast.
If Seido High School can still score additional points at this time, they will even have a chance to end the game early in seven innings.
If it's an ordinary opponent, it doesn't seem to be worth rejoicing about even if Seido High School ends the game early.
The difference in strength is too big!
The two are not opponents of the same level at all, just like an adult in his twenties and thirties who bullies a five-year-old child, even if he wins, there is nothing to be honored.
Even if you knock your opponent over with one kick, it's bullying.
The nature does not change.
But if you can solve the three high schools of the city in seven rounds, the effect will be very different.
It's equivalent to an adult in his twenties and thirties who knocks out another adult with one punch.
This is a contest of the same level, and it is only decent if Qingdao High School wins.
Now it's a four-point lead, and another one-point five-point lead.
In this way, it only takes two more points in the seventh game......
The picture is too beautiful to imagine.
As long as they thought that Qingdao High School could be so bloody and bloody in the city's junior high school, the supporters of Qingdao High School were excited.
Especially the die-hard fans in the team, one by one, they are even more excited.
The grievances between the three giants in Western Tokyo are not an exaggeration to describe the feud as deep as the sea. To be able to abuse one's competitors to this extent, what could be more exciting?
Almost everyone at the scene thought that Qingdao High School would definitely not let go of this opportunity to expand the score.
Superintendent Kataoka in the rest area of Seido High School naturally didn't want to give up such an opportunity, but he couldn't decide the scene in front of him.
He glanced up at the fifth and sixth bats of Qingdao High School, and dispelled his previous thoughts.
It's not impossible to score tactically, but it also depends on who the runners and hitters are on the field?
If it was other old students, Superintendent Kataoka would definitely not hesitate. Even the veterans who were substitutes had honed their skills in tactical striking and coordination.
But now it is the turn of two first-year newcomers at Seido High School.
Let them cooperate with Yukiichi to steal the base, no matter how you think about it, it is difficult to be reassuring.
Superintendent Kataoka hesitated, but finally gave up on his original tempting plan.
He decided to leave the situation on the field completely to the players and let the players make their own decisions.
Standing in the strike zone at this moment is the new first-year student of Seido High School, Yuuki Shoji.
When he saw that Superintendent Kataoka didn't give him a guarantee code, Yuzen's heart was greatly relieved.
It's really hard for him to let him fight. Not to mention that the opponent is a thorn like Tianjiu Guangsheng, even if it is an ordinary pitch, it is very difficult for him to play short.
He still prefers to believe in the strength of his swing rather than the short fight.
The bat in his hand was raised high, and his eyes stared at the Tianjiu Guangsheng on the pitcher's mound without blinking.
At this time, the formation of the knot did not ease down because the situation completely fell to Qingdao High School. On the contrary, at this moment, his chest was burning with surging fighting spirit.
If he can't show his own value and strength here, how can he replace those seniors?
"Whoosh!"
didn't give the formation of a chance to think about it, and the little white ball was thrown over in a daze.
It's good to come!
When he saw the flying baseball, he shouted loudly in his heart.
Then he very decisively waved the bat in his hand.
"Boom..."
As the bat swung, a huge sound of breaking the air flew in front of Takami's nose.
