Chapter 167: Advance to the Final (First Update)
By the time the match between Qingdao High School and Yurong High School reached the ninth inning, it was already noon!
The sun hangs in the sky, and under its unbridled illumination, Koshien resembles a giant steamer.
"It's hot!"
In the stands, a spectator subconsciously wiped the sweat off his face and immediately scraped off a layer of transparent liquid.
There are many people around him who are like him.
It's just too hot today, reaching a terrifying 34 degrees Celsius according to the weather forecast.
At this temperature, even if the audience is sitting in the stands, they will inevitably sweat. There are even people who are not very good and have collapsed from heat stroke.
The crowd is like this, not to mention the players on the field......
The Seido High School players were better, and although their clothes were already soaked, they were in good spirits under the stimulus of victory. Especially those substitutes who finally got the opportunity to play, the performance was even more positive.
On the other hand, the contestants of Yurong High School are different, they are like frosted eggplants, drowning their heads.
The white fat overseer opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
What else can he say about such a score?
At this time, he could only hope in his heart that these disciples under his command could be reborn after experiencing failure.
At this time, in the rest area of Qingdao High School.
Superintendent Kataoka is giving his final instructions to his disciples.
"They haven't touched Xiaotani's ball before, so they can use his characteristics to suppress the opponent."
If the current catcher position is still Miyuki or Chris, Superintendent Kataoka may not be willing to say more. But now that he has changed to the palace as a catcher, he is still a little uneasy in his heart.
It's also a good idea to get Akira Kazutani back on her feet after her defeat in Koshien. But now that there is only one game, Superintendent Kataoka still doesn't want such a thing to happen.
And this year's Koshien, Seido High School performed very perfectly and strongly, and in the end, Kataoka was unwilling to make such a mistake.
Don't say anything else, shame on you!
"Defeat your opponent in one go and advance to the finals."
"Yes!"
Regarding Kataoka's order, the friends of Qingdao High School naturally have no reason to disobey.
Although the first half of the ninth inning was the defense of Qingdao High School, the players on the court were like wolves and tigers, as if they were going to eat the opponent alive.
"What a terrible concentration!"
A media reporter in the stands couldn't help but admire.
15:3!
With such a large score gap, unless there is a very small probability event such as a meteorite hitting the earth, it is difficult for Yurong High School to have a chance to reverse.
The winner is decided.
Although this is the case, this is Koshien after all, and even if you lose badly, it is natural that the lagging side will not be reconciled.
In this case, on the contrary, as the dominant party, there will generally be varying degrees of laxity.
But Qingdao High School doesn't, and their concentration is still terrifying.
The Seido players were all staring intently at the hitters in the strike zone, and as soon as he made a move, the Seido High School players would immediately react.
No one is made of iron!
The fact that the athletes of Seido High School were able to maintain such a high level of concentration even when their physical strength was on the verge of their limits was the result of their usual training.
If there are only one or two players who are like this, then there is nothing to say. Everyone's physical talent is different, and it's not surprising that there is a gap.
All the players at Seido High School are able to maintain such concentration.
It doesn't have much to do with talent, it's definitely the result of daily training.
In the press box.
Fujifu said with deep feelings.
"Kataoka is supervising him, and he really brought a very amazing team!"
Different from the concentration of Qingdao High School, Shi Heng, who is now standing on the strike zone, seems to be falling apart.
His whole body is so sore that it takes a lot of effort to lift even a finger.
I'm so tired, I want to rest~
There was such a signal in his body, but Shi Heng's eyes were still a little stubborn.
This is Koshien!
It's the place he has dreamed back at midnight and looked forward to coming.
Before entering Yurong High School, Shi Heng never thought that he would really be able to come to Koshien one day.
Not to mention being able to make it all the way to the semi-finals?
But this unthinkable thing just happened. Relying on his quirk ball, with the full cooperation of his teammates, they made it all the way to the semi-finals.
Even they themselves are a little incredulous when they really do this.
It even made him feel like he was with his friends.
Koshien is nothing more than that!
Although their own overseers have always said that the cruelty of Koshien is far beyond their imagination. But because they haven't seen it, they are naturally unconvinced.
It wasn't until they met Qingdao that they finally saw the true cruelty of Koshien.
The gap is too big!
They are not heavyweights at all. From the race to the present, I didn't even wait for the waves to roll up, and I was slapped on the beach by Qingdao High School.
15:3!
What a desperate game.
At this time, all the players in Yurong High School knew.
The reason why they were able to advance to the semi-finals is not that their strength is really good, but because they are lucky not to meet Qingdao in the previous rounds.
Otherwise, when you meet, when you die.
But even so, Shi Heng was still unwilling to give up resistance.
Even if it's a dying struggle, even if it's a mantis arm blocking the car, he has to give it a try.
Whether it's a hitter or not, he has to show his attitude with his actions.
They are the opponents of Qingdao High School, not lambs to be slaughtered.
Enduring the soreness in his body, Shi Heng raised the bat in his hand high.
His eyes were blazing as he looked at the pitcher's mound.
When he's throwing the ball, hit it!
Shi Heng's requirements are really not high. It's just a pity that it didn't materialize.
When he actually saw the baseball flying out of Xiao's hand, he was stupid.
"Boom!"
It was as if the sky was falling apart, and a white meteorite suddenly collapsed.
So fast!
High Strength!!
It's scary!!
Shi Heng could only watch the small white ball burrow into Keisuke's open gloves in the palace.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!!"
Seeing Xiao's pitching, the audience at the scene was boiling.
They weren't shocked by the power of Gu Xiao's pitching, nor were they shocked that Shi Heng didn't swing his bat.
They were just deeply impressed by Gu Xiao's ball speed.
"155 km!!"
In the 100-year history of Koshien, the ball speed exceeds this ball, and a slap can be counted, and among the high school students at this stage, the only one who can throw this ball speed is Akira Shitani.
Deservedly the first in the country!
The undisputed fastest ball speed in the country.
This is, the monster of the new generation of Qingdao High School, Akira Valley.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
"Strikeout!!
"Strikeouts !!!"
"Strikeouts out!!!!"
Whether it is Shi Heng, who is exhausted and only supported by one breath, or the super strong Daqian who retains a little bit of spare strength.
They were all at a loss in the face of the ball from Gu Xiao.
Three strikeouts in a row completely ended the game.
The final score is 15:3!
Seido High School played in the Koshien semifinals of Yuei High School, and Seido was the winner.
Seido High School has officially advanced to the finals!
