Chapter 105: Big Trouble! (1st Update)
"Baseball Kingdom" magazine reporter Fujio and his partner Owada Akiko also came to the scene today to watch the game.
Originally, when Koshien was just beginning, they were given the task of covering the entire Koshien game by Baseball Kingdom Magazine.
But after the interview at Tianqingdao High School, their mission changed. Now Fujifu is not going to interview the entire Koshien area, but a team from Seido High School.
This order is very much in line with Fujifu's heart.
Of course.
He also knew that the magazine did not arrange it to make him comfortable, but just to look at the money.
The customs and habits of all countries in the world may be different, but the characteristics of the capitalists are the same. Without all these money-oriented characteristics, they would not be capitalists.
Compassion is not in charge of soldiers, and benevolence is not financial management.
In today's game, Seido High School sent a pitcher at the beginning with Tamba, not Sawamura.
This made Owada Akiko very dissatisfied.
The emotions of many viewers at the scene are the same as her.
They came to watch the game after hearing the name of the Great Demon King, and after the result came, the Great Demon King Sawamura Eijun didn't play at all, which can't but be said, it's a pity.
"Superintendent Kataoka doesn't appreciate the people's feelings too much!"
There was dissatisfaction in her heart, and the tall beauty immediately complained.
Fujio turned his head to look at her and explained seemingly nonchalantly.
"As far as Seido High School's current position is concerned, it is natural to rotate the substitute at this time. Although Sawamura's pitching is excellent, at the end of the day, he is only a first-year freshman. His body does not allow him to fight for a long time at all. Therefore, if conditions permit, Qingdao High School will definitely adopt a rotation system. In fact, the team that really aims for the Koshien championship is rarely the ace pitcher who lasts to the end alone. On the one hand, this is to not over-deplete the pitcher, so that it affects the future career of the pitcher, and on the other hand, it is also to develop his own pitcher lineup. After all, there is no occasion that is more experienced than the arena in Koshien. ”
On the court, Oda was hit by a ruthless strikeout.
In the position of the outfielder, Sawamura felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
This little friend in the past really has a natural weakness in terms of blows.
Quite early, it was not for nothing that Yamaguchi was able to surpass him in terms of blows in just one year.
It's just that Sawamura Eijun, originally thought that after two years of training, Oda Honsen should have grown a little.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came on the field, he was struck out by Senior Tamba!
In the position of the catcher, Chris also felt strange.
He had detected an extremely useful piece of information, but he himself was not sure if the information he had obtained was true.
This information is very simple to say, that is, the hitter of Xinglong High School seems to be completely unfamiliar with Tamba, who pitches on the court.
"Does that mean they didn't do any training for Tanba before the game?"
Hehe~
Chris was speechless about this.
I don't know where the opponent's confidence comes from, in this game, Qingdao High School will not replace the bench pitcher on the field?
"Trust your own pitch and put the ball in my glove!"
Since the other party is so cooperative, Chris is of course even more polite.
Next, in the face of the second bat, he directly gave Tanba Koichiro a code for a high-drop curved ball.
"Whoosh!"
The small white ball shot like a sharp arrow.
In the strike zone, the batter in charge of the second baseman is Mari, the current second baseman.
He watched as the baseball flew over, and the bat in his hand was raised high.
No, the ball seems to be flying towards itself.
Almost subconsciously, Mari took half a step back.
It was precisely because of this half-step back that he saw the truth of Tanba's pitching clearly.
The white ball flew in, as if it had paused, and then fell sharply as it approached him.
"Smack!"
The baseball passed through the belt and landed pinpoint into Chris's glove.
"Good shot!"
A huge drop of cold sweat began to flow down Mari's forehead.
What are you kidding, is such a pitcher actually a substitute?
Even in Nagano Prefecture, the ace pitchers of the other two giant teams don't have such a sharp change of ball?
Tokyo.
"It's called a trick to eat fresh all over the world! Although Tanba does not have as many variations as Sawamura Eijun, he has honed his high-drop curveballs to the extreme. If the opponent underestimates him because he is Sawamura's substitute, I'm afraid he will suffer a big loss. ”
Manaka was going to sit in front of the TV and said seriously to a teenager next to him.
This teenager is about to become the ace pitcher of the third high school in the city.
On the pitch, the game continues.
"Ping!"
Almost gritting her teeth, Mari barely caught the trajectory of the curveball and hit the ball out.
The white ball bounced off the ground, was caught by the third baseman's Masuko, and then passed to first base.
"Out!"
Without any suspense, Mari was blocked out.
When he got off the field, he was still unwilling to kick the ground.
"Third baseman, third baseman, Tsuchihara!"
Mari, who came down from the strike zone, went head-to-head with the dirt plain who was about to strike.
The two were not only classmates in elementary school, but also in middle school, and they were also Nagano Metropolitan shooting partners.
"Is this substitute senior very strong?"
Tsuchihara asked hummingly.
"If we really look at him as a backup pitcher, I'm afraid we're going to suffer a big loss."
Mari said indignantly.
"That kind of high-drop curveball is really hard to play. The baseball seems to fall suddenly after getting close to you, and if you keep staring at the baseball before, you won't even have time to turn your head. Moreover, the process of the ball falling is very fast, and the angle is even more scary, so it is very difficult for such a ball to fall down, let alone hit the center of the ball. And even if you touch the ball, it's easy to hit it high or low......"
To sum up, what Mari said was the characteristics of Koichiro Tanba's pitching, and there was no solution.
In other words, it is not easy to simply hit such a ball.
Even if you know how his ball is changing, it's not easy to play.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a pitcher in Qingdao High School."
Tsuchihara was stunned.
Is it that they were too self-righteous before, thinking that as long as they played, the opponent must be Sawamura Eijun.
In fact, there are many options for Qingdao High School, haven't you heard of Qingdao High School's pitcher formation, and there are fast ball pitchers with a ball speed of more than 150 kilometers hidden in the pitcher lineup of Qingdao High School?
"It's really, it's troublesome!"
Tsuchihara's hunch was not wrong at all, and in the next game, they did encounter a lot of trouble.
