Chapter Forty-Eight: The Red Devil Sagara

Kataoka supervised the plan to kill three birds with one stone, and the players of Seido High School were not completely unable to guess.

But even if you guessed it, what could you do? It's not about acting obediently.

The old students don't want the new students who have just risen to take their place away. The freshmen were also unwilling to see someone come up.

Having said that, the freshmen recruited by Qingdao High School are really amazing.

And what they are powerful is not only their strength, but also their arrogance.

These people were all kings and dominants in their respective junior baseball teams in middle school. Their treatment is also star-studded.

Would such a player willingly give up the position of the main force to the other two?

Of course not.

So they're also working hard and hopefully get the attention of the coaching staff as soon as possible.

Time never stops, and in the blink of an eye, it is the second round of the competition of Qingdao High School.

It is also the Tokyo Spring Tournament, a 32-in-16 competition.

On the day of the game, the players of the Seido High School baseball team came to the game site by bus.

The scene was already crowded.

For fans of Seido High School, every game is indispensable.

Although there are some people who can't come to the scene because of study or work, they can't stand the large base of fans of Qingdao High School.

Even if a lot of people don't make it, the rest of the stadium will be enough to fill the stands.

In such a warm atmosphere, the game began.

Previously, Superintendent Kataoka had said that if the opportunity was right, let Wang Xi and Yuuki play.

He really did what he said, and as soon as the game began, the formation of the general division was sent to the court.

Played as a left fielder.

Sawamura Eijun, who has been playing as a guest left fielder, did not get the opportunity to play at all this time, and sat directly in the rest area.

The starting pitcher for this game at Qingdao High School is Akatsuki Monster Droptani.

In the first round of the game, it was Kawakami who played the main pitch. In today's game, the main vote is Xiao Tani.

It seems that in these games, where victory is assured, Superintendent Kataoka intends to rotate several of his pitchers.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, this is also a matter of course.

"Aren't they worried that this will affect the state of Sawamura?"

Akiko Owada, a reporter from Baseball Kingdom Magazine, asked Fujifu next to her in surprise.

Fujifu shook his head.

"With Sawamura's strength, he doesn't have to rely on such a game to maintain his condition. The reason why Superintendent Kataoka is so relieved and bold to do this is also because of Eijun Arisawamura. He believes that as long as Sawamura can stay on the court at any time, then he will be able to show the strength of an ace pitcher immediately after he plays......"

It seems that Sawamura has fewer opportunities to play, but in fact, the team has more trust in him.

Fujifu was not able to say this sentence in the end.

Anyway, even if he says it, Owada Akiko may not be able to understand, so in this case, he might as well not say it.

The game began, and it was the Red Devils who attacked first.

When they saw the Red Devils attack, there were still a few spectators in the stands cheering them on.

Although the scale of this cheering cannot be compared with the tens of thousands of viewers of Qingdao High School, they can still have some influence on their own players.

At least after listening to the cheers, the players were very excited.

They are desperate to show what they are capable of.

"Childish!"

Watch your opponents who are ready to swing their bats.

Miyuki Kazuya in the catcher position is calm in his heart.

For Xiao, what he is least afraid of is these teams that actively swing the baton.

Come on! Try to show your pitch and make your presence known to the world.

In this way, it can also stimulate Sawamura to a certain extent......

Miyukiichiya's open gloves are like black holes that can hold everything.

The pitcher on the pitcher's mound exudes an inexplicable attraction.

It felt as if his gloves were able to absorb small white balls inside.

Seeing Yuyuki's open gloves, Tsukitani Xiao seemed to have received some kind of code, and the whole person's crotch was terrifying.

Using all the strength of his body, he threw the ball hard.

"Boom!"

At this moment, as if the sky had collapsed, the first stick of the Red Devil High School was directly stunned in place.

So fast!

So fast!!

That speed seems to invade the soul of the human body, making the beater awe-inspired.

Although when they collected information before, they already knew that the ball speed of Xiaogu was not slow. I have also seen the 157-kilometer high-speed of Xiaoxiao on TV.

But after all, they were only watching from the TV and were much less shocked.

Really watching Gu Xiao's pitching on the spot, it feels completely different.

That terrifying ball speed is already clearly a dimension faster. Let them be powerless and helpless.

That ball speed alone already makes people feel like they can't parry, not to mention the pitching of Xiaogu Gu, it's not just about ball speed.

There's a few other stuff in there.

That kind of pitching is like a life, constantly eroding the will of the hitter.

It will make them themselves can't help but rebel.

Otherwise, you will definitely become a slave to pitching.

Under such terrifying pressure, the Red Devils' first batter could no longer restrain himself.

Except for the first ball, because I was too shocked, I didn't have time to swing the bat. On the second and third balls, he swung his baton in a row!

It's just a pity that none of these swings were able to touch the white ball in the end.

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!!"

"Good Ball !!"

"Strikeout!!

The second batter and the third batter are also treated exactly the same.

All were knocked out with clean strikeouts.

Three strikeouts in a row, allowing the opponent's hitter to go up and down three times.

The terrifying strength displayed by Xiaogu shocked everyone at the scene.

"I didn't expect it to feel so fast to watch this ball live?"

"You just pitched 160 kilometers, right?"

"There's no way to guess, but he's had the fastest 157 kilometers in Koshien in the spring. Even if you can pitch a super fast straight ball for 160 kilometers, it's not completely impossible! ”

The audience's discussion also attracted the attention of some professional baseball scouts.

Originally, they had come to observe Sawamura Eijun and Miyuki Kazuya.

Now seeing the performance of Gu Xiao, it is also like a treasure.

Not to mention anything else, as far as the pitching just now is concerned, the current pitching strength of Gu Xiao is already the absolute top in the country.

"That's amazing!"

"Such a senior can only serve as a substitute, which is simply a tyrannical thing."

"There's no way, who made our ace pitcher at Qingdao High School the big devil."

"Don't fight, after all, we are pitcher kingdoms, so it's strange that we don't have such a background."

The audience was very excited.

In the second half of the first game, it was the turn of Qingdao High School to attack.

The other party is very well guarded, and it seems that he does not intend to give Qingdao a chance.

Of course, with this little difficulty, it was a bit wishful thinking to stop the players of Seido High School.

"Ping!"

Kuramochi cleanly hit the ball to the outfield!

No one could have imagined that he would suddenly change his striking rhythm at this time, so that he would catch his opponent off guard.

"Hip hop!"

During this time, I only saw the freshmen showing off their strength on the court, which made the outgoing Kurachi very unhappy for a long time.

Now that he finally seized the opportunity, of course he had to release it well.

So he directly won the outfield long shot and ran to second base in one go.

The scene turned into no one out, and there was someone on second base.

The players of the Red Devils Sagara High School have to be cautious.

Not to mention that the second to stand in the strike zone is Kominato Haruichi, who has extremely superb striking skills.

After Kominato Haruichi stood in the strike zone, he directly put on a short-hitting posture.

It looked like he was going to send Kuramachi to third base.

This is also a common tactic used by Seido High School. The players of the Red Devils High School did not think much about this, and directly adopted the front guard.

At the speed of Yoichi Kurachi, it would be difficult for them to stop Kuramochi if someone escorted them.

In such a situation, they can only make sure that they get their hands on the number of outs first.

This team has the urine nature of a professional baseball team, which is pragmatism.

Never engage in those vain things, minimize the harm of the opponent to yourself, and at the same time increase the probability of scoring as much as possible.

That's how professional baseball works.

But high school baseball players are not professional baseball players, and they use the same way they manage professional baseball players to manage these players in the high school baseball club.

That would be a big mistake.

It's as if now, the Red Devils, who act according to the formula, are quickly solved.

"Ping!"

The white ball was hit and fell straight behind the shortstop.

If it weren't for the relationship between him and the pre-emptive guard, he would not have been so completely unprepared in the face of the deception of Kominato Haruchi.

That's how it turned out.

Relying on a hit from Kominato Haruichi, Yoichi Kuramochi went straight past third base and ran back to home plate to help the team take the lead in scoring the first point.

The score on the field became 1:0.

And the offensive of Qingdao High School is far from over.

He was followed by Hakushu.

In today's game, Sawamura Eijun was not able to play, but sat directly in the rest area.

In this case, Hakushu was advanced to the batter.

It has been improved from the fifth to the third.

He didn't disgrace the third batter and scored a clean hit.

The situation on the field became that no one was out, and there were people on first and third base.

In this case, it was Kazuya Miyuki who stood in the strike zone.

In the face of no one out, there are people on first and third base.

originally thought that the opponent would protect his Miyuki, but he didn't expect the opponent to choose to face him head-on.

It was a bonus.

Miyukiichi also held the bat in his hand with great interest, waiting for the white ball to fly over.

Without making him wait too long, the little white ball came!

"It's good to come!"
