Chapter 12: The Aftermath of Engine Overheating

The practice match between Qingdao High School and Feilian High School was played in the second half of the third game.

The score is still 3:0.

In the first game, Qingdao High School led all the way. Almost everyone in the room thought that the game could turn into a crushing situation.

But things didn't go in that direction.

Xian Caozhi, who looks like a playboy, actually showed a shameful and courageous demeanor after losing a home run.

Relying on strong ball skills and the help of the guard, he successfully won the remaining two outs, so that Qingdao's high school line stopped at the sixth base.

In the second game, it was the turn of Fei Lian High School to play the core line from the four sticks.

Many players from Feilian High School take this as an opportunity for them to turn over, at least they can touch Gu Xiao's ball, right?

But it's a great pity that even their four-batter couldn't hit the valley.

When the white ball entered his hand, it was like an unknown monster, emitting a loud roar.

In such a terrifying scene, the beater's mind was completely taken away, and there was no way to exert his strength as usual.

As a result, the result was very tragic.

They were all easily dealt with one by one, and no one touched the ball of Tsugu Xiao in the whole process, let alone hit it.

Six high-speed strikeouts in a row!

Even the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School were dumbfounded.

"Today, this guy Gu Xiao is open!"

"In the previous orientation game, seeing that the freshmen were so powerful, Sawamura was still strong, and he was probably stimulated."

"These guys from Feilian High School are too pitiful!"

Kanemaru's gaze was full of sympathy as he looked at Fei Lian University.

In the spring of Koshien, the match between Seido High School and the troll Otoenmaki High School made Akiichi Shibuyani, who has the fastest ball speed in the country, famous.

From that time on, when people mention the top pitchers in high school, they will inevitably be unable to avoid the name of Gu Xiao.

The friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School, because they know and know the bottom of the valley, they don't think like others.

However, there is one fact that they all admit, and that is the strength of Xiaogu Gu.

As long as he is in good shape, he definitely has the best strength in the country.

There is no doubt about that.

Feilian University didn't have to play against Sawamura Eijun, they could have scored two points.

After all, the strength of Feilian University is not bad.

But now it looks like it's hanging in the air......

If the state of Descending Gu Xiao really comes, it is not so easy to overcome.

The second half of the second inning.

Seido High School Attack.

The fairy grass on the pitcher's mound continued to maintain his previous good form, making Qingdao High School's line three up and three down.

The two sides remained evenly divided until the third game.

In the first half of the third game, Fei Lian University attacked.

This game is like a remake of the first two games. The only bit of improvement is that someone can finally touch the pitch of Akira Tsukitani.

But that's just about touching the ball.

After the little white ball was touched, it flew high.

Miyuki, who was in the catcher position, stood up unhurriedly and took the ball with his gloves.

In the first three games, he won a full eight strikeouts!

Gu Xiao's performance, all the players in Feilian University who suppressed him had no temper at all.

They watched the performance of Qingdao High School in amazement, but they were helpless.

And just like that, the game came to the bottom half of the third inning.

Qingdao High School has a lot of hits, and at this time, the line has already completed a round and returned to the upper hitter.

Today's game was a little tougher than they expected. However, Feilian High School is the runner-up of Kanagawa in the fierce war zone after all, and it is not surprising that it has such strength.

The boys of the baseball club of Qingdao High School quickly accepted this and prepared a new offensive strategy.

Overall, they're very relaxed.

Although the opponent is a little trickier than expected, it shouldn't be a problem to take them down.

This was the original idea in the hearts of the Qingdao High School friends, but soon, their thoughts changed.

"Ping!"

First up was Kuramochi, who hit the ball high and flew high. The small white ball floated high and landed directly above the second baseman.

"Smack!"

"Out !!"

The position that was the first to open the situation was easily solved in this way.

Before the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball club came to their senses, the second baton of Kominato Harushi was also solved.

Although Xian Cao's whole person looks tall and big, he does not belong to a purely violent pitcher like Tsugu Xiao.

He's a skilled pitcher!

Although it is not dominated by variation balls, the overall pitching is regulated.

To deal with such an opponent, it is said that Kominato Haruichi should be able to catch it, after all, he is more restrained from this kind of skill-based pitcher.

But the result is completely different from what everyone imagined.

The white ball bounced off the ground after being hit, and bounced off into the fairy grass straight glove.

Kominato Harushi was neatly blocked.

As the first and second baton of Qingdao High School's offensive engine, it was so easy to solve.

This in itself made the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School feel a certain amount of pressure.

The worst is yet to come.

The invincible Great Demon King Sawamura Eijun is also out.

"Ping!"

The white ball was shot high and flew to the back of the field.

Sawamura Eijun, who sensed that the situation was not good, was actually holding back his strength and wanted to win a home run.

The results were unsatisfactory.

The fielders of Fei Lian High School don't know which brain has a convulsion.

It was guarded at the back of the pitch.

Sawamura hit the ball to the back of the outfield, and the guy picked it up.

"Out!!"

In just a few minutes, the extraordinary strength of Qingdao High School played the line, and it was just three up and three down!

"Damn, I thought I was going to get a home run."

"I think so too."

The audience was dazzled.

Sawamura Eijun's brow furrowed into a pimple.

No, very not.

For some reason, he had a particularly strange feeling that he had fallen into a trap that someone else had carefully knitted.

It's not like I've never encountered this feeling before, he encountered it once when he was playing in Koshien before.

It was a match against Saibon, and they ran into Akutsu, who was almost a demon in Chita.

Almost didn't capsize in the gutter.

The regional players of Feilian University, although they seem to have good strength, are just good.

It wasn't tough enough for Sawamura to feel threatened.

As for players like Akutsu.

Carefully inspected the rest area of Feilian University.

Sawamura finally shook his head in annoyance.

It doesn't look like there's that kind of guy in there.

The presence of that kind of guy in the team is actually quite conspicuous. Although the Saibon High School players are not particularly fond of Akutsu, Akutsu is still the undisputed absolute core of their team.

In the team of Feilian University, there are no players of that status.

That's weird.

The game continued and came to the first half of the fourth inning.

Sawamura Eijun's ominous premonition also began to be confirmed.

Facing Gu Xiao again, the players from Feilian University obviously have more eyes.

They no longer easily waved the bats in their hands, but patiently waited for Gu Xiao to bring about his own destruction.

"Boom!"

The terrifying pitch that seemed to be falling in the sky put a lot of pressure on the opponent.

But once such a ball is played, it can't go into a good belt.

This terrible pressure has become a joke.

"Smack!"

"Bad ball!!"

"Smack!"

"Bad Ball !!"

Two bad balls in quick succession made the atmosphere of the whole stadium weird.

Miyuki Kazuya, who was in the catcher position, frowned slightly.

His gaze was still sharp.

"Isn't it working anymore?"

This doesn't work, it's natural to say that it's Xiaogu.

At the beginning of today's game, Xiao Tsugu was too brave. At that time, Miyuki Kazuya, who was his partner, realized the crisis of the situation.

Too rigid and easy to break.

A pitcher throws the ball, which is not much different from a long-distance race. If you rush too hard at the beginning, it will be difficult to maintain the rhythm and rush to the finish line in the end.

Although he was aware of the problem of Tsukiya Xiao, Miyuki did not open his mouth to remind him.

The purpose of practice matches is to test the possibilities of the team, but also to help the players adjust their condition.

Only when the problem comes out, will Xiaogu realize the seriousness of the problem and find a way to solve it.

What is the best way to prevent falling for scams?

It's not about watching all kinds of strategies, it's not all kinds of caution.

In fact, a very simple trick can solve the problem.

Just let him be cheated once.

The worse you are scammed, the less likely you are to be scammed next time.

As for those who have been deceived continuously, it has nothing to do with Xiao Carelessness, it is completely a matter of IQ.

Now that Gu Xiao is in the valley, there is obviously something wrong with the state.

He realized that his ball was slowing down.

I've just thrown three innings, and I've shot less than 30 balls in total.

In terms of Gu Xiao's current physical strength, there is absolutely no problem.

But he still felt like his ball was slowing down.

In order not to let the ball go down, he subconsciously used more force.

The more force is used, the more spin is used, and the problem of the baseball floating is more serious......

So much so that now two goals in a row have deviated from the good ball belt.

Yuyuki Kazuya, who was in the position of the catcher, had a pair of eyes firmly locked on Akira Shibuyani.

"Aware of your problem?"

If you realize it, it's still too late to adjust yourself.

"Boom!"

Akira also realizes that his own form is not right, but he attributes more to his lack of pitching power.

If the ball is bowled with enough force, it will be possible to force the ball into the good ball belt.

Absolutely!

With such an unswerving thought, Gu Xiao threw the white ball in his hand fiercely.

The hitters in the strike zone looked at the flying white balls and were not moved at all.

"Your eyes are used to the horrible ball speed, right?"

"Next, as long as you have two good shots, you must not take it lightly."

"And what if it's two good shots?"

"Ditch all corners and just shoot the ball near the centre, do you understand?"

This is the strategy of Feilian University.

I have to say that this strategy is really simple and crude.

And it seems to be quite effective.

"Bad ball!"

"Bad Ball !!"

"Guaranteed to get on base!"

The more Xiaogu wanted to throw well, the more powerful the pitching force he subconsciously used.

The more you use the pitching force, the more you float on the ball.

By now, it's hard for the ball to get into the good ball belt.

The invincible Tsugu Xiao has now become a joke about continuously escorting opponents.

No one is out, there are people on first and second base.

Xiaogu threw two four bad shots in succession in this game.
