Chapter Ninety-Three: Maki! (2nd Update)
Fast! It's fast!
Kurachi's speed soared like a lightning bolt.
It's just that he's fast, and someone moves faster than him.
The real wood on the pitcher's mound, although he is tall, does not slow down in the slightest.
He picked up the ball with great speed and sent it to first base.
"Smack!"
It was only a fraction of a millimeter, and the position was not able to succeed on base.
"Damn, a base, it's just a waste!"
"With your immature short-hitting skills, it's already very good to be able to run to that position!"
Ryosuke Kominato said with a smile.
"Second baseman, second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato."
As the second batter in the team, Ryosuke Kominato at this time, of course, wants to consume more of the opponent's balls.
"Ping!"
After tangling with a few balls, Ryosuke Kominato hit the ball out.
His face was very ugly, and he didn't want to do it, so he beckoned to the boundary.
But there is no way, the opponent's pitch is too weird, and with such a huge gap, he needs to spend a lot of energy to judge the timing of the swing.
Don't look at Maki's height is very tall, but his whole stride is not big.
His stride was not large, it could even be said to be very small. In this way, his whole pitching posture and the release point are also very high.
The ball went from his hand to the catcher's glove in a diagonal line with a great arc. Especially when throwing low-angle balls, the angle of this diagonal line is even more exaggerated.
When the player aims at the ball, he must not aim at a straight line, but must find an intersection with this diagonal line.
Ryosuke Kominato really wants to teach Maki a lesson.
There is no other reason, just a grievance of height.
Ryosuke Kominato was naturally dissatisfied with those tall pitchers.
It was in this situation that he wanted to teach Maki a good lesson, but it was very difficult for Maki to judge the intersection point just by throwing the ball, let alone hitting all such balls accurately out of bounds.
Because of Ryosuke Kominato's error in judgment, the consequences are very serious.
"Ping!"
After the white ball is hit, it flies flat to third base.
At third base, there were already people waiting there, catching the ball in their gloves.
"Out!"
"Two outs, no one on base."
Scud's first stick, the second stick with so difficult striking skills that he is called a demon.
The two starters of Qingdao High School were all cleanly resolved.
Yosuke Maki!
He is very tall and tall.,It's a real wood that is extremely eye-catching on the pitcher's mound.γ The presence displayed at this time is unimaginable to others.
Strong!
It's so strong!
The rest area of Seido High School.
Chris rubbed the gloves in his hands, and his eyes rested on the real wood on the pitcher's mound.
"When I looked at the information before, I didn't expect the other party to be such a difficult pitcher."
Although Maki's pitching is very distinctive, in the previous games, his ball was not the kind that people couldn't hit.
It stands to reason that the beaters of Qingdao High School should not have to work so hard to deal with him.
But the current situation, even Ryosuke Kominato has been solved.
Using that kind of statement to numb himself again will only make Qingdao suffer even more.
"In addition to the strength of the pitcher, the form also has ups and downs. Although I don't know what the reason is, depending on the situation, today's real wood is 120% real wood in condition. β
Sawamura is also looking at Maki.
As for Maki, the impression in his mind was rather vague.
Throughout his high school years, Maki didn't become his main rival.
Theoretically, the strength of real wood is just like that.
It's very good, and in the Tokyo area, it can be regarded as a top 10 pitcher.
But that's just this grade, and later, as Seido High School became stronger and stronger, the top ten pitchers in Tokyo were not enough.
It's just that I didn't expect that the state of Maki would be so good today.
"Third baseman, third baseman, Jun Izagi."
"Get out, Golden Retriever!"
"Roar, Golden Retriever."
"Extend the blow."
β¦β¦
Seeing Jun Izashaki playing, the stands immediately became noisy.
They stared at Usashiki Jun with blank eyes, hoping to see Izagi Jun perform miracles.
It's no wonder they have such thoughts, among all the beaters in Qingdao High School, everyone has their own characteristics.
What are the characteristics of Jun Izagi? It's just playing that kind of weird ball.
He's especially good at playing irregular pitches, such as the ball outside the good ball belt, and the tricky ball......
Just like now, Maki's pitching, because he is taller, has a big pitching drop, and has a changing curveball?
On the whole, Maki is undoubtedly a very peculiar pitcher.
Dealing with such an opponent, Izagi Jun has a lot of experience.
So everyone is looking forward to it, and Jun Izaki can hit this ball.
"I'm not called a Golden Retriever!"
"Ping!"
As if to wield all the power of the wilderness in his body, Izaki hit the ball out with precision.
I actually hit it!
Everyone looked at Jun Izashaki in amazement, and at the small white ball that he had hit.
It's amazing.
Although they all expected the ball to be hit in their hearts, when this scene really happened, everyone at the scene was surprised.
I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it.
In the first round of blows, Jun Izashaki actually found the rhythm of swinging the bat.
"Smack!"
The ideal is very plump, but the reality is incomparably skinny. The ball was knocked out, but it didn't hit as expected.
The small white ball,Caught by the outfielder of Xianquan School Parkγ
"Out!"
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
Such a clean result has no meaning other than the declared strength of the real wood!
"It's so difficult~"
This kind of development is obviously beyond the expectations of all the friends of Qingdao High School.
They may have thought that there would be some entanglements in the game.
But I never expected that the entanglement would be so deep.
"In this way, it will be very difficult to conquer this pitcher in a short period of time!"
Chris took a deep look at the real wood on the pitcher's mound, then turned to look at Tamba.
In the previous match with Yakushi High School, Tanba's performance was unsatisfactory, and he did not have the slightest taste of a third-year ace.
Is it really appropriate to send him on the field again in this kind of crucial game?
Of course, this is also to make Qingdao High School more smooth on the road in the future.
Ideally, Chris would have liked to have scored in the first game and then put the pressure off Tamba.
Now it seems that this ideal is only an ideal after all.
"The game, I'm afraid it's going to get into a pitcher battle for a while. You're not going to be cowardly, are you, Tamba? β
"Of course not!"
Chris's worries, Tambo seemed to feel it. He made a reassuring gesture at Chris.
I'll suppress the other side!
"Good!"
As a partner, Tamba can have such confidence, and Chris is certainly very happy.
