Chapter 164: No Contrast, No Harm (Part 2)
In the semifinals of the summer league, by the end of the fourth game, Qingdao High School had already gained a crushing advantage.
5:0!
With a five-point lead, needless to say that the opponent is Qingdao High School, even if they change an opponent to Yurong High School, they may not be able to catch it back.
For Qingdao, the current situation is already in hand.
Superintendent Kataoka began to drastically adjust the personnel arrangement.
The first to be replaced was Sawamura Eijun, of course, just in case, Sawamura Eijun still did not end up, but was replaced in the outfield.
In this way, if the situation is really bad, Sawamura Eijun can return to the pitcher mound.
It's not the Seido High School that will do this, one of the three big families in Western Tokyo is counted as one, and all of them do it.
Inagi Industry, even if Narimiya is replaced as a pitcher, he will generally stay on the field as an outfielder. Unless the score gap is particularly large, the little prince will never get off the court.
The truth of the three high schools in the city is the same. Rotate between outfield and pitcher mounds.
The most thorough effort in this is still Qingdao High School.
From the beginning of the summer tournament until now, Sawamura has not spent time in the rest area.
The guy is always ready to play.
That's the sign of a trump card.
Now that the score is ahead, considering the finals later, there is no need to let the ace brush the data on the field!
At this time, Superintendent Kataoka decisively sent someone to replace Sawamura Eijun.
Kawakami pitcher mound!
To be honest, this substitution is really scary. At least few people at the scene could guess.
When I played against Xinglong High School before, Qingdao High School had two pitchers, and they performed very well. The main substitute Koichiro Tanba, the newcomer of the high-speed ball monster Akira Tanaya.
They all showed great pitching.
Originally, everyone thought that Seido High School would replace one of the two on the court even if it was a change of pitcher.
Unexpectedly, Superintendent Kataoka is not an ordinary person. Or should I say that he has full confidence in his own pitcher formation.
Kawakami also did not live up to the expectations of Kataoka's supervisor, and after coming on the field, he played steadily to his strength.
Good ball control, sharp enough to change the ball, especially the kind of real change ball can be thrown into the corner.
Kawakami's strength is also very good.
With the cooperation of Yuyuki Kazuya, the hitter of Yurong High School has been played many times and has not been able to win the hit.
Soon, let them go up and down three times, and reached a perfect relay with Sawamura Rongchun.
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
Even if Qingdao High School changed pitchers, Yurong High School still did not find a suitable opportunity to fight back.
In the second half of the fifth game, Qingdao High School attacked!
The first and second sticks, which had been silent, finally broke out.
Counting up, this is the third time they have fought against Shi Heng. Uncle Kuramochi mobilized all the cells in his body in a short fight. Accurately stopped the white ball in the middle of the pitcher and third baseman.
Although the players of Yu Rong High School had been prepared for a long time, such a delicate short fight was still difficult to guard against.
Uncle Kuramori was at full throttle and ran to first base very smoothly.
Once such a guy gets to first base, the destructive power skyrockets.
The thief base he used without hesitation, although the catcher of Yurong High School was restrained, but what was the use?
With the speed of Cangzhi, he is no longer a catcher, and he can be restrained casually.
"Safety!"
No one is out, there is someone on second base!
In such a situation, how similar is it to the previous Sawamura thief?
If Shi Heng wants to be unaffected, it is impossible at all.
He frequently turned his head and looked at Kurachi behind him.
"Good chance!"
Dealing with Ryosuke Kominato, who is known as a demon beater, dare to be so careless?
Yu Rong High School is also looking for death.
"Ping!"
Ryosuke Kominato unceremoniously swung his bat, and he was about to win a hit.
Kuramochi also trotted all the way to third base.
Suddenly, Ryosuke Kominato stumbled and almost fell.
That gave Yu Rong a chance, and their shortstop immediately passed the ball to first base.
Fooled!
In the rest area of Qingdao High School, the corners of Sawamura's mouth unconsciously raised a smile.
If it's a normal time, Ryosuke Kominato will also be on base. No one is out, there are people on first and third base, and Qingdao has a good chance of scoring.
But that's not the case.
Considering that the opponent is a quirk pitcher, and the uncertainty of coping with such a pitcher.
Almost without hesitation, Ryosuke Kominato chose to use himself as a bait to secure a point.
There is no doubt that he succeeded!
When the shortstop from Yu Rong High School passed the ball to first base.
Kurachi, who had already run to third base, ran to home plate non-stop.
"Out!"
"Safety!"
Ryosuke Kominato sacrificed himself, but he also helped Seido High School score a point.
The aggregate score became 6:0.
For this result, there is no one who is happiest, and the current catcher is Yuyuki.
The greater the difference in the score, the less pressure Kawakami will have.
This kind of thing is all mutually reinforcing!
After that, although Shi Heng used the characteristics of his quirk ball, he barely survived this game.
But the score is still expanding step by step.
In the first half of the sixth inning, Yu Rong High School attacked.
In the face of Yu Rong High School's lower line, Kawakami still performed very well, winning three outs very easily, allowing the opponent to go up and down three times.
In the second half of the sixth inning, Qingdao attacked!
"Ping!"
Masuko, who hit the first bat, hit the ball directly into the gap in the outfield, and after the white ball hit the ground, it bounced off the wall.
Long hit!
The best weapon to deal with quirk ball is always a brutal swing of the bat, and under such brute force, the slightest change in the baseball will not exert its power at all.
Masuko is on second base!
Immediately afterwards, Yu Yuichi did not live up to him, and there was someone on the base who was invincible in the world.
"Ping!"
A strong swing of the bat swept the ball straight out of the court.
A home run with two points.
The score suddenly expanded to 8:0.
Such a smooth ride is unbelievable even for Seido High School itself.
Fortunately, after that, Sawamura Eijun played abnormally.
Otherwise, the score in this game is likely to expand to more than double digits.
In the second half of the seventh inning, Yu Rong High School's counterattack began.
First Shi Heng scored a hit, and then Ohmachi seized the opportunity and hit a home run.
The score immediately became 8:2.
This is not over, Yu Rong's three, four, or five sticks after high school, wonderful cooperation, helped the team score another point.
The score became 8:3.
In the rest area of Seido High School.
Superintendent Kataoka's face was a little ugly and a little embarrassed.
Ochiai pinched his mustache and said, "The Koshien semi-finals may be a little early for Kawakami-san. ”
This result is not to say that Kawakami is really weak, it's just that his opponent is too strong.
Yurong High School, although in Sawamura's hands, is like a lump of mud, kneading and kneading at will. But this does not mean that their strength is really weak enough for people to slaughter at will.
Once you fight back, it's still scary.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, and in such a comparison, Sawamura Eijun's strength is still terrifying.
