Chapter 34: The Final Counterattack (Part 3)
With a total score of 3:0, Qingdao High School locked the victory in advance.
The battle between the Koshien quarterfinals and the national hegemon is still the national hegemon's Seido High School.
In the stands, most of them were fans of Seongdo High School, and it was obvious that they were relaxed.
When talking to the people around him, he is also leisurely and arrogant.
It felt as if they had defeated the king of East Tokyo by themselves.
TFujio, a veteran reporter for "Baseball Kingdom" magazine, and his partner Akiko Owada also spoke very highly of the score that Tojo and Kanemaru had just teamed up.
"The pitch to the well just now is very different from his previous pitch!"
First of all, Fujifu pointed out the problem of throwing the ball to the well just now, and the balls that Mukai had previously focused on the four corners of the good ball. The ball just now is a little biased towards the center!
For a pitcher like Mukai who takes ball control as his lifeline, the ball just now can be regarded as a missed shot.
"But to be able to hit such a ball, I have to praise the hitter of Seido High School. In this game, Qingdao High School's playing line can be regarded as in full bloom. First of all, Kuramochi, who was the first batter, scored the first point with speed, then a home run from Sawamura, a strong baseman, and finally the perfect cooperation of Tojo-san and Kanemaru-san. ”
"Another point has to be mentioned, although the players of Qingdao High School did not deliberately consume the number of pitches made by Mukai-san in this game, but by now, his pitch count should have been close to 100. On the other hand, Sawamura's pitches are probably only fifty or sixty......"
"The pitcher's combat strength is insufficient, and the score is so far behind, in this game, Didong High School may not be able to return to the sky!"
As a professional baseball journalist, Fujifu rarely makes such assertions.
After all, the field is changing rapidly, and no one can say what will happen next. An arbitrary prediction can only increase the chance of being slapped in the face.
This is the kind of thing Fujifu would not do. Since he said so, it means that he is indeed sure of this.
In this game, Didong High School has lost the opportunity to fight back.
Rest area in Didong.
Superintendent Yaichi Okamoto hesitated and reminded the substitute pitcher to prepare.
Although he said so, in his heart he didn't mean to replace Mukai Sun.
"A man can only grow when he has experienced failure."
Thinking about it, he also deliberately glanced at the rest area of Qingdao High School.
In the rest area, Superintendent Kataoka had a cold face.
Next to him, sitting in the first row of the rest area, Sawamura was as steady as Mount Tai.
From them, the bearing of the national hegemon is very obvious.
"Damn!"
Although the strength is indeed a little worse than Qingdao High School, it is not completely without opportunities at Didong High School. In this game, the biggest reason why they played so passively was their lack of preparation.
I didn't expect that after the third grade of Qingdao retired, they still retained such a strong strength!
Offense is in full bloom, speed, strong play, coordination, and flawless performance.
But it was this perfection that made Okamoto see the biggest problem at Seido High School.
After retiring from the third grade, Qingdao lacked a fighter to attack.
There is a limit to what Sawamura can do alone.
If he is the coach of Qingdao High School, the next step must be to consider the arrangement of the playing line and find a way to connect the playing line of Qingdao High School.
Qingdao has also scored a lot of hits before, but he has not been able to score points.
The main reason for this is that Qingdao High School's line connection is not smooth enough!
Of course.
As an opponent, he would not take the initiative to say this to the overseer of Qingdao.
On the other side, Ochiai, the coach of Seido High School, touched the mustache on his chin and groaned.
Now this team, there are also a lot of excellent players, how can it feel so awkward.
The current Qingdao is the strongest in the first four sticks.
Even in the face of Mukai Sun, the first four sticks of Qingdao are considered to be a good performance, scoring two points in three rounds!
The opponent is the wealthy Didong, and this kind of attack power, although it is not excellent, is also qualified.
The problem is that both points are earned on individual ability.
As far as the whole team is concerned, it's really average!
"After I go back, I still need to polish the line!"
The strongest one to four sticks, disappointing. The front garden of the fifth pole did not show any performance at all.
On the contrary, the lower line played instead gave Ochiai a surprise.
Tojo, Kanemaru!
Both of these people themselves are from regular young club backgrounds, and perhaps they should be given more opportunities.
"Ping!"
Aso played a double-kill hit, and the attack of the seventh game of Seido High School ended here.
The little sun, whose physical strength is on the verge of limit, has an indomitable light shining in his eyes.
This light not only infected his teammates in Didong, but even Qingdao's friends were also impressed by him.
"Didong, this trump card, is quite strong!"
Kurachi, for the first time, had a positive evaluation of Mukai Sun.
Tojo and Kanemaru also admired it very much.
"In the rainy weather, he threw more than 100 balls, and he has such concentration, what kind of training did this guy experience in Didong?"
Sawamura nodded: "No one's success is pie in the sky." Since they can be distinguished in front of people, they naturally have to train hard behind them. ”
This point has been recognized by the friends of Qingdao High School.
Or should I say that the values of Qingdao High School are like this.
Sweat doesn't deceive!
They want to believe that hard work can make them stronger.
"The opponent is so powerful, we can't admit defeat!"
Miyuki said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Qingdao's friends began to play on the field.
"In the last two games, the opponent will definitely fight hard."
Before Miyuki came on the court, he said to Sawamura.
"Don't worry, I won't give them a chance."
The dog is in a hurry and bites, not to mention these beaters from the wealthy high school.
At the end, they made a crazy counterattack against Qingdao High School.
But it's a pity that this counterattack was suppressed by the Great Demon King Sawamura and his partner Miyuki.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!!"
"Good Ball !!"
"Strikeout!!"
"Strikeout!!
"Strikeouts !!!"
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
Like a beast that has been lurking for a long time, the Great Demon King began to show his hideous fangs, and frequently used knuckle balls and speeding straight balls against opponents who played the line in the lower position.
The nationwide assault in Koshien can't cope with it, and these beaters at Teto High School are even more difficult to handle.
They could only watch as the baseball flew past their eyes, swinging the baton again and again in vain.
"Demon King!"
"Demon King !!"
In the stands, the noise continued to resound, and eventually resounded throughout the stadium.
In such cheers, the game ushered in the second half of the eighth inning, and Qingdao High School attacked.
Looking exhausted, Mukai's pitching is still mysterious.
In the end, Kurachi, Kominato, and Sawamura failed to get to the base.
Three up, three down!
