Chapter Thirty-Six: The Mania in the Country
The duel between Xiangjing Sun and Thunder City attracted the attention of countless people in the audience.
Anyone who follows Tokyo High School baseball would be hardly uninterested in this matchup. If nothing else, just look at the performance of the Qingdao High School friends.
Their eyes were as wide as bells, and they watched the duel on the field intently.
The anticipation that is surging in their hearts at this moment is incomprehensible to others.
These two guys, the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School have the experience of playing against each other, and everyone is also looking forward to seeing them separate from each other for the showdown between the two.
Then everyone saw that Xiang Jing Sun threw a ball.
In the eyes of onlookers, although the ball speed is good and the angle is tricky, it is nothing more than that, and there is not much quality to it.
However, anyone who knows a little bit about Mukai Sun knows that his pitching prowess can't just look at these superficial things. Without a real showdown, you never know how scary this guy is.
The thunder city on the other side is completely opposite to the Mukai Sun.
That's a guy who's just watched him swing a bat, and you know what level of beater he is.
This kind of storm-like swing is impressive once you see it.
The same is true now.
"Boom!"
When the bat is swung out, it is as if the sky is falling, with an unparalleled momentum.
Standing in the position of the catcher, Qianxian Gang even felt suffocated for a moment.
The swing of that guy's stick just now instantly emptied all the air around him.
Qianxiangang's brain seemed to have been suddenly struck by lightning, and this swing of the stick alone refreshed his worldview.
There really are monsters in this world that wield such a terrifying stick.
"Ping!"
After the baseball was hit, it was like a cannonball that was fired, and it instantly crossed a distance and landed out of bounds.
"Quack, quack~"
The first ball hit out of bounds, but Thunder City didn't seem to care at all.
"Come again!"
It looks like it didn't go into the good ball at all, but in fact the ball has come in, it really is......
This kind of pitching is like dancing on a tightrope, and it is the first time I have seen Thunder City.
He was already very motivated, but at this moment, he was like a chicken.
Trembling with excitement.
"This monster!"
Didong High School's casting partner was taken aback.
Although the result in front of them was something they had expected before, when this scene really appeared, they still had mixed feelings.
Thunder City doesn't let go of the ball out of bounds.
It doesn't seem accurate to say that, but it would be more accurate to say that this guy seems to be able to predict whether the ball will fall into the good ball belt?
"What a monster!"
sighed again, but Qianxian Gang had to lift his spirit and continue to fight against this monster.
Come on!
He has full confidence in Mukai's pitching.
It's just to deal with monsters like Thunder City, they've only been practicing for so long in the past seven months.
As long as it is a team that has played a game with Seido High School, as long as it is a team that has the heart to solve Sawamura Eijun, it must have honed a set of killer skills.
There is a saying that geniuses appear in groups, and this sentence is not unreasonable. Geniuses also need genius opponents to compete!
Because of the appearance of Sawamura Eijun, the big demon king, there are many players who are very talented in themselves, and they have gone further in this short period of time and reached incredible heights.
Thunder City is one of them.
And Mukai Sun is also one of them.
In order to be able to solve the big demon king Sawamura Rongjun, he also tried to find a way in private.
Now is the time to validate their work.
Come on!
Qianxian Gang opened his gloves.
Mukai Sun on the pitcher's mound also seemed to have made a great determination, and directly pulled out the posture and threw the white ball in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The ball landed straight at a low angle.
"Quack !!"
Their opponent is Thunder City, but they don't care about the wonderful change in baseball.
Seeing the white ball flying over, he waved the bat in his hand without hesitation, and forcibly threw the white ball out.
"Ping!"
After the little white ball was hit, it flew high.
After seeing the white ball being knocked out, instead of showing a look of frustration, the faces of Kan Xiangao and Mukai Sun became more and more focused.
"Outfielder!"
Mukai is not the kind of pitcher who can make a hitter swing miss, he is a pitcher who relies on the defense to win the number of outs.
Even if it is a killer feature of preparation, it is biased towards this aspect.
Now he is using the characteristics of the screwball to force Thunder City to play high.
In a way, they did succeed. The ball was swept into the outfield by Thunder City, and the baseball flew high.
The outfielders of Didong High School were waiting early below baseball.
The fly in the ointment is that the ball is played too quickly. There was simply no time for the outfielders to catch the ball.
It went straight over the outfielder's head and slammed into the outfield's parapet like a meteor hitting the ground.
"Haha~"
With a wild laugh, Thunder City spread the bat in his hand and rushed forward.
Because the speed of the ball was too fast, the preparation time left for Wanyi was too short, and by the time the outfielder picked up the ball and prepared to pass back, Thunder City was already close to third base.
This guy has a beautiful base, and he directly touches the base bag of third base.
The standard of action is inferior to even the battle-hardened players of Seido High School.
However, his teammates at Pharmacist High School didn't seem to be particularly satisfied with his performance.
"Idiot, the ball hasn't come back yet, what are you slipping on?"
"Stupid, that ball is at least 100 meters from this home plate, why stop!"
"Bastard ......"
The players of Yakushi High School played baseball with ease, and they complained about their own teammates, and they were also merciless.
Thunder on third base smiled awkwardly.
He made a mistake this time, but it didn't make the players from Didong University feel any relaxation.
Qianxian Gang frowned and looked at the thunder city on the third base.
To be honest, he didn't expect this guy to be so fast!
At that distance just now, although the outfielders of Didong University did not stop the ball at the first time. But he stepped back a lot, not very far from the ball.
In such a situation, this guy actually ran to third base in one go, and even had a chance to hit home plate?
It's incredible!
With the speed he just showed, he can definitely run 11 seconds in the 100 meters.
Not only is the striking strength terrifying, but even the speed is so good?
It is said that people should die better than people, and goods should be thrown away.
Qianxiangang originally thought that his body was already very good, but compared to this monster, the gap was not a star and a half.
He was faintly shocked by the terrifying strength of the other party.
Of course, this was only his subconscious thoughts, and it was hidden deeply.
Not to mention the opponent, even Qianxian Gang himself was not able to detect it.
The game on the field continues.
After Thunder City went to third base, it was the turn of Toshihei Sanada who was the fifth.
Regarding the characteristics and strength of Sanada's blowing, the casting partner of Teto University has carefully studied it.
Sanada's best at playing straight balls, simply speaking, the strength of playing straight balls is not even below Thunder City.
In that case, just use all the change balls.
Mukai Sun, who made up his mind, used a spiral ball for the first ball.
Unexpectedly, Sanada Shunhei, who walked into the strike zone, had no intention of confronting him head-on. Instead, he took advantage of a short hit and touched the ball.
Short!
Such a move frightened the players of Didong University.
The impression is that the Pharmacist team is a furious team that likes to attack aggressively, which is also the characteristic of their team.
I originally thought that Pharmacist High School would definitely stick to its own characteristics, but I didn't expect to suddenly change its style at this time.
"As long as you can score points, it doesn't matter what tactics are!"
In the rest area of Yakushi High School, Thunder Zang, who was originally sitting lazily on the rest chair, suddenly laughed.
He constantly reminds his disciples to enjoy baseball.
It doesn't matter if they hit it normally or in a short fight.
As long as they're having fun...
Originally, everyone liked to stick to their own striking style, but now for the sake of their teammates and the team, they have gradually abandoned that individual heroism.
Occasionally, he will make a cameo appearance as a green leaf.
Just like now, take advantage of the short play to get a point.
Sanada Toshihei probably thinks that such a result will be a bigger blow to his opponent.
"You're really mature and scary!"
Thunder Hide muttered in a low voice.
Although his mouth was complaining, the smile on his face never stopped.
But it's really gratifying.
If the players can have such an attitude, it also shows that they are really mature.
"Safety!!"
With a strange laugh, Thunder City went straight back to home plate and helped the team take the lead in scoring a point.
The aggregate score became 1:0.
The little prince of Tokyo after losing points, Mukai Sun. Instead of being lost, he became more and more focused.
He turned the anger in his body into the motivation to pitch.
It was very simple to take two outs.
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
In the second half of the second game, Didong University attacked.
"Ping!"
The fourth stick that took the lead, Kan Xiangang.
Aimed directly at Sanada's first ball, and knocked it out fiercely.
"Fly, fly out!"
Straight to the home run and chased the score back.
The two sides played three games without giving in to each other, and the score remained at 1:1.
Sanada Toshihei and Mukai Taiyang both showed extremely superb ball skills and strong fighting spirit.
It's barely evenly matched.
This tug-of-war continued until the fourth inning, when there was a radical turnaround.
The Pharmacist High School, which took the lead in the attack, turned out to be a collective dumbfounded.
Including the third baton of Mishima, and even the fourth baton of Thunder City, they have all been solved one after another......
In the second half of the fourth game, Didong University attacked!
