Chapter Twenty-Nine: Counterattack! (Ask for subscription)
In the second half of the first game, Qingdao High School attacked.
The players went back to the rest area to change their equipment, and Yuyuki took the initiative to find Xiao.
"Just now, you were saved by Senior Ryosuke."
If it weren't for Ryosuke Kominato, Xiao's loss of points would not even make people imagine the upper limit.
"In your current state, losing less than 10 points is considered good."
After speaking, Miyuki added in a low voice.
After losing the speed of the ball, Xiao Tsugu is similar to a live target. Coupled with Kiryu Osaka's deliberate targeting, Miyuki was even very suspicious that without Ryosuke Kominato's help, Akira Shimitani would probably be completely defeated in the first game.
"I'm not going to lose any more points!"
In Gu Xiao's eyes, there seemed to be a murderous aura.
It's scary~
Miyuki was secretly amused.
In addition to the hard mouth of a dead duck, the biggest characteristic of Descending Gu Xiao is that he does not admit defeat.
However, this personality is not a bad thing for a pitcher.
Sitting on the rest chair, Xiaogu was silent.
Next to him is Sawamura, who is trying to regain his strength.
Sawamura is very good at resting!
Or rather, he rests most efficiently. He fully understands the essence of baseball, which is a combination of movement and static.
Quiet as a virgin and moving like a rabbit is the best explanation of baseball.
Baseball, unlike sports like basketball and soccer, does not require sustained high-intensity exercise. When you're not exercising, especially when you're attacking, it's perfectly okay to rest.
Of course, it also depends on whether it will be, and for those who will rest, it is completely possible to take advantage of the interval between the games to fully rest. For those who don't, these breaks are about the same as none.
"How? The ball will not be hit. ”
Just when Sawamura was collecting praise for his strength, a voice suddenly came from the side.
Sawamura raised his head in surprise and looked at Akira Shibuyani, who asked him.
The two are direct rivals.
Even if he has an absolute advantage, in terms of Gu Xiao's character, he won't ask him for advice.
It seems that the team's sense of responsibility has gradually sprouted in this young man's heart.
Although he is not good at words, he likes the environment of Qingdao High School very much. This point, Sawamura, who is inseparable from him, feels it the most. Even if he occasionally helps the seniors run errands to buy drinks, Xiaogu has a very enjoyable expression.
He loves to be part of a collective!
It's the same now, if it's just for himself, with Gu Xiao's character, even if he puts a knife on his neck, Gu Xiao will never say such a thing.
Now that he has said it, even if he himself has not realized it, he has gradually stopped thinking of himself as a separate Gu, but a pitcher at Qingdao High School.
Sawamura chuckled in a low voice: "I really can't answer you this question, our situation is completely different, and the advice that applies to me may not be effective if it is placed on you." However, if I were you, I would trust my companion behind me, and at the same time figure out how I would get through it with my current partner. Baseball is not something that can be played by one person! ”
Baseball is not something that can be played by one person!
These words were like a heavy hammer, hammered in the heart of Gu Xiao.
He recalled the past, when none of the friends around him could catch his ball, and he was not good at expressing himself.
Invisibly, he was isolated.
I can only hide under the uninhabited bridge and practice pitching.
Why come to Qingdao?
Isn't it because there are people in Qingdao High School who can catch their balls?
Could it be that he came to Qingdao in order to continue playing baseball?
Akira Shibuyani was slowly savoring Sawamura's words.
The attack of Qingdao has begun.
"First bat, shortstop, Kurachi."
The first to stand in the strike zone was still Qingdao High School, and the first striker Kuramochi Yoichi who couldn't be hit by thunder.
Pitcher Hiromi Hiromi made the first shot and threw a good shot into the inside corner.
"A good shot must be played!"
When he saw a good ball, Kuramochi swung his stick directly like a fly that saw meat.
"Ping!"
The bat touched the white ball, and Kuramochi's face suddenly tightened.
The pitcher's ball speed and power are far beyond his imagination.
In this ball, the timing of his swing and the power of his blow were not mastered well.
Damn, worthy of being the pitcher of Koshien's quasi-winning team!
After the baseball is hit, it bounces to the front of the third baseman.
The third baseman in Kiryu, Osaka was delighted.
That's it!
On the first shot, taking a number of outs is very helpful for the pitcher's rhythm.
Lezizi picked up the ball and prepared to pass to first base.
When he turned his head to look at first base, he noticed something very unbelievable.
Kuramo, who just hit the ball, doesn't know when it's already halfway through!
How did he end up there?
The third baseman hurriedly passed the ball to first base and barely let Kuramochi out.
As soon as the ball on the front foot got into the first baseman's glove, the back foot stepped on the base bag.
"Out!"
Kuramochi cut dissatisfied.
"One hit, that's it!"
On the other hand, the players from Kiryu High School in Osaka had their throats in their hearts just now.
The rebound ball on the front of third base, he almost ran to first base!
Is there any reason for this? Is this still fair?
Pitcher Hill's Kwan Hiromi's face was also palpitating.
It's dangerous!
It's good that Kuramochi didn't get on the base, otherwise, with his speed, Kiryu would be in big trouble.
"And such a fast runner!"
As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.
"Second baseman, second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato."
"Good shot!"
"Bad ball!"
"Bad ball!"
Three balls in a row, Ryosuke Kominato didn't swing the bat.
This made Kiryu's catcher in Osaka very difficult, and he didn't even know how to match the ball. After a good ball, after a good and a bad one, it's all the time to swing the bat. But it seems that Ryosuke Kominato doesn't mean to swing the stick at all.
Now that the number of balls is the same, he can only attack actively!
"Good shot!"
On the fourth ball, Ryosuke Kominato still didn't swing the bat and was chased.
"Good!"
Osaka Kiryu's catcher, secretly praised. Take two good goals and the rest will be easy.
He thinks so, but how does he know that the real showdown has just begun!
"Ping!"
On the fifth ball, Ryosuke Kominato swung his bat and flew the book out of bounds.
"Out of bounds!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!!"
"Ping!"
"Out-of-bounds!!"
At first, Osaka Kiryu's catcher thought Ryosuke Kominato was lucky.
But gradually, he found out that something was wrong, once or twice it was lucky, and when it was seven consecutive balls out of bounds, it was nonsense to say that he was lucky.
Before they knew it, they had already faced off against Ryosuke Kominato for 12 goals.
Ryosuke Kominato, who is still smiling and harmless to humans and animals, is still smiling.
But at this time, in the eyes of the pavilion and the catcher, he was more terrifying than a demon.
"Four bad!"
Sixteen balls, Ryo Kominato selected four bad successes and went to first base.
"We're all so tired that we can't run, so how can we not let the opposing pitchers get tired too?"
