Chapter 120: Second Points! (3rd Update)
PPS: Today's chapters, I feel like it's a shame to be separated. So I took it upon myself to merge the five chapters into three chapters. Today, it is also equivalent to five watches. Originally, a chapter was 2,000 words, but now it has been changed to 3,000 words. So it's not that it's written less, but everyone is more considerate. Finally, cheekily ask for a word, if it's convenient. Subscribe now.
After solving the valley, the momentum of Gu Xiao climbed to the peak.
His pitching, like an anti-aircraft gun, caught people off guard.
After striking out Tanaka, he successfully eliminated the fourth bat, Aoyagi. And exactly like the process in Yanaka, Aoyagi was also struck.
The troll Otoenmaki High School, three or four sticks like a monster, was struck three times in a row.
In the face of the terrifying pitching of Akira Gu, they couldn't even touch the ball.
This gorgeous performance made the audience extremely enjoyable.
They excitedly slapped everything they could in their hands, and frantically cheered for Gu Xiao.
At this moment, it seems that Akatsuki Shibuya is no longer an ordinary high school student, but a real emperor superstar.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a monster in Koshien!"
"It's really rare and strange that this pitcher threw more than 150 kilometers in his first grade."
Akira was in Koshien before, but it wasn't without an appearance record. In fact, as early as last year, he played as a rotation pitcher in Koshien.
The performance is also very impressive.
If it weren't for that Koshien, Sawamura Eijun's light would be too dazzling, and the name of the Great Demon King would be resounding throughout the country.
Gu Xiao's name may be bigger.
But the third-grade senior, coupled with the wonderful performance of Eijun Sawamura. Among the five star players of Qingdao High School, there is no Akira Tani. Correspondingly, his name is smaller.
But after today, it is destined to be different.
There is a gap when there is a comparison.
Before, everyone just thought that Akira was very good at pitching, and had the best terrifying ball speed in the country.
But because his opponent is not really strong, what kind of strength does he have? It is also an unknown in everyone's opinion.
But after today's game, everyone's opinion will definitely be different, and Akira Tsukitani is racing with Hongo Masamune, and he will not fall behind at all.
If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods.
Compared with opponents who didn't have enough weight before, everyone was naturally full of questions about Gu Xiao's strength.
But now, there are such opponents to contrast.
Regarding the strength of Gu Xiao, everyone also has a vague judgment.
What level of pitcher is Masamune Hongo?
Without a doubt, he is one of the best pitchers in the country.
You can compete with him, and you won't fall into the wind.
Although there are still some shortcomings, the overall strength is definitely at the same level.
This also means that in Seido High School, in addition to the big demon king Sawamura Eisun, there is also a top pitcher in the country.
He is Xiao.
Under the watchful eye, no one went to base for the two outs.
Akatsuki Descendant ushered in the fifth stick of the troll Otomaki High School, the catcher, Renji.
"Boom!"
In the dictionary of Xiaogu Xiao, there is no concept of mercy.
Every time he throws a ball, he throws it with his life.
Pitching is life.
"Boom!"
The terrifying pitch as if the heavens and the earth had collapsed, and at the speed of the Shinkansen train, it quickly broke through to the eyes.
Lianji in the strike area subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
It's horrible!
This kind of life-like horror pitching feels like facing an unknown monster.
It's chilling.
Glancing up at the huge score on the electronic scoreboard.
1:0。
Before Na Gu Xiao showed such a pitching state, they were still very confident in their victory. But now, I have to put a question mark.
Although he still has a lot of confidence in Hongo's pitching, the difference of one point is so small that there is no way to feel at ease.
If you want to be completely at ease, you have to score one or two more points.
And Xiao's pitching has gradually improved, and I am afraid that it will become more and more difficult to deal with in the future.
In this case, want to take the initiative in the situation.
It can only be now.
While this guy hasn't gone completely crazy yet, look for an opportunity to score another point.
Nodding secretly in his heart, Renji held the bat in his hand high.
"Boom!"
The second goal came and it looked even more terrible than the first.
The most terrifying thing was that a small white ball, after approaching the hitter's hand, quickly fell.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
The first ball is a straight ball, and the second ball refers to a fork ball.
It seems that Tsugu Xiao is completely sparing his physical strength, that is to say, his task should not be to shoot the whole game, right?
Although at this time, most of the audience had forgotten the existence of Sawamura, but as an opponent, Renji never forgot for a moment.
The opponent they need to watch out for the most is still honestly staying in the outfield.
It is said that the pitcher formation of the troll Otoenmaki High School can be regarded as strong.
But compared to Qingdao High School, it's still a lot worse. Who has two of the country's top pitchers on their team?
It's really envious.
The two good balls were chased by Lianji, and there was no discoloration on his face.
His eyes were cold, looking at the pitcher's mound, and he was very calm in his heart.
The world is so unfair, and some people feel desperate just by throwing a ball.
For example, Dawn Valley!
His talent is absolutely unattainable.
Even if others work hard all their lives, it is impossible for them to achieve this level.
For the vast majority of people, this ball speed is simply not something that can be achieved with hard work.
It's horrible!
It's enviable.
But ah, the ball speed wasn't fast enough to make me despair.
I've been dealing with such monsters for the past few years.
For such ball speeds, it is already immune.
"Boom!"
The little white ball flew over, like some unknown monster, ready to devour everything.
And the lotus in the strike area seems to be a prepared animal trainer. He calmly waved the bat in his hand and hit the ball out steadily.
"Ping!"
The white ball was hit and flew into the gap.
Renji ran all the way to second base.
In the position of the catcher, Miyuki looked stunned.
The opponent just now aimed at the ball, and Renji himself aimed at a low angle.
"Of course!"
At second base, Lotus had a smile on his face.
For him, this result was not a surprise at all.
Akira Kantani's possession of the ball is not good, although he can barely throw the ball to the low angle of the good ball belt.
But that's about it.
Where will it appear? The catcher is also not clear.
In this way, there is no point in guessing the ball, just aiming to hit.
I've learned a lot about partnering with such monsters.
"Awesome!"
In this regard, Miyuki can only secretly stretch out his thumb.
Renji's blow is really good.
Probably because of his long-term partner relationship with Hongo, his eyes have long been accustomed to such fast balls.
Once the eyes are completely accustomed to Xiao's fast ball, Xiao's fast ball is actually not that difficult to hit.
There are many people at the scene who believe that the strength of Akira Tsukiya is no longer under Sawamura Eijun and Hongo.
But Miyuki never thought of it that way.
He knew the difference in strength between several people.
The main reason why the three are now evenly matched is because of their opponents.
Their opponents are all the top monster fighters in the country's high schools.
Such a beater cannot be said to be weak, but it is not strong either.
Compared to the batters of professional baseball, especially the hitters in the major leagues.
The gap is actually quite large.
To use a simple analogy, high school baseball is a bit like elementary school math problems.
Whereas, professional baseball and major leagues are math problems in middle school and high school, respectively.
Akira Shibuyani, Eijun Sawamura, and Masamune Hongo, these people's pitching strength is undoubtedly far beyond the level of high school baseball.
That's why they often crush their opponents when they play.
But to really put it mildly, these top pitchers in the country don't have a big advantage compared to those powerful ace pitchers.
It's like a good third-grader, a good middle school student. If two people do the third-grade exam paper together, the middle school students may not answer better than the third-grade primary school students?
The same thing.
Pitching beyond high school standards may not be invincible on a high school baseball field.
Sawamura Eijun's performance is not much better than Hongo's Tsukiya Xiao.
That's why.
The opponent is too weak, and he has no chance to show his strength at all. Even if a secondary school student does his or her best, he or she may not be able to score 100 points on the third grade exam.
But whoever has a high level is a high standard. To professional baseball, to the major leagues.
The gap will soon become apparent.
"Ping!"
Just when Miyuki's thoughts drifted away, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
After the white ball was hit, it flew far away.
It ended up in the gap in the outfield.
Sawamura rushed forward, picked up the white ball, and then passed straight to home plate without stopping.
Probably because of a finger injury, his pass was a little off.
By the time Miyuki picked up the ball and returned to home plate, it was too late.
"Safety!"
Hasuji, who had just hit a second home run, was assisted by his partner Masamune Hongo.
Successfully won the second point.
Helped the team to a 2-0 lead.
The situation of the game was one-sided, biased in favor of the troll Otomaki.
This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that after falling behind 2:0, Qingdao High School did not make substitutions.
Sawamura Eijun remains in the outfield.
Even if the people of Troll Otomaki High School are stupid, they understand at this time.
Although I don't know what the reason is, in today's game, the big demon king Sawamura Eijun should not be able to appear on the pitcher's mound.
