Not confident, but very motivated.

It may not sound so reasonable, but if you think about it, you can see that it is very reasonable.

That's what Yoichi Kuramochi is in now.

Before fighting Koshien, Seido High School underwent two rounds of hell training.

The first hellish special training was mainly based on group training, and the physical strength of each player was squeezed to zero.

In that case, the problems of all the players were exposed.

This was followed by the second round of Hell Training.

If the first round of Hell training was mainly torture and destruction, then relatively speaking, the second round of Hell training was much easier.

It is an intensive training for each player's shortcomings.

As the main player, Yoichi Kuramochi, his intensive training direction is strikes.

According to Coach Ochiai, the biggest problem at Seido High School right now is Kuramochi.

When he knew that he was so valued by the coach, Kuramochi was flattered.

When did he start holding his uncle's position in the team so important?

"Our guard and pitcher mound are very reassuring. Now the only problem arises on the strike zone. Our offensive strength is really a lot worse than the previous one. ”

After saying this, Coach Ochiai set his eyes on Yoichi Kuramochi.

"Now the second bat, the third bat, the fourth bat. Compared to the previous team, even if there is a gap, it is very small. ”

Everyone admits this sentence.

Sawamura Eijun was originally the original core hitter in the team, and after Yukiichi was also the team's fourth baseman, his performance was also remarkable.

Kominato Haruichi's performance can't be said to be better than his brother Kominato Ryosuke, but it's not much worse.

If Ryosuke Kominato's score is 100, Kominato Haruichi's score is at least 95 points or more.

Others like Eijun Sawamura and Miyuki are in a similar situation.

The previous Qingdao High School, how strong was the offensive strength?

Even if the strength is weakened by one or two percent, it is said that it should be very strong in attack.

But now the situation of Seido High School is that it is often solved by opponents, and even if there is a hit, there is no score.

Coach Ochiai, Superintendent Kataoka, Minister Ota, Vice Minister Rei Takashima, and all members of the coaching staff.

They have been studying this question for a long time, but they have never found a suitable answer.

In the end, the research came and went, and finally all the signs pointed to the warehouse.

The reason for the poor scoring ability is because the line is not coherent enough.

In fact, if Kuramochi can steadily climb the base, then Qingdao High School's offensive strength will definitely be doubled.

"Concentrate on honing your strikes!"

In the end, Coach Ochiai gave Kuramochi such instructions.

was told so by his own coach, and the mood of Cangzhi can be imagined.

He also wants to be faced, and he has been said to be on this part, if there is no expression, is it still a hold?

Over the past few months, Kuramochi has spent twice as much energy on the strike zone as the average person.

He swings nearly a thousand times a day.

As if it came naturally, his striking strength grew a lot. Although it has not yet triggered a qualitative change, what is lacking is only an opportunity.

Now the opportunity has come.

The team is facing such a crisis, and the opponent is the country's top pitcher.

It's time to show your true skills!

Kurachi in the strike zone, secretly thought.

He's going to prove himself here, with the bat in his hand.

The short stance was given up by Kuramochi, and he reclaimed the bat in his hand.

A pair of eyes stared at the pitcher mound, giving people the feeling of wanting to eat Hongo Masamune alive.

Take it back!

Seeing Kuramochi take back the bat in his hand, Renji in the catcher position secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he has successfully solved the position several times before, it does not mean that he is not afraid of the position, especially the speed.

Not to mention the current situation, but no one is out.

Once Kuramochi is on the base, Seido High School's chances of scoring points are bound to increase greatly.

For Troll Otomaki High School, this is absolutely not allowed.

They don't allow any surprises, because they don't have much of a lead in the score.

Steady, it works!

Renji gave a secret signal to Masamune Hongo on the pitcher's hill, and then quietly moved his position as well.

"Whoosh!"

Without any prelude, the baseball flew straight over.

Kuramo, who had already fallen behind with a good ball, seemed to have no choice but to swing the bat at this time.

The bat swung out, but the little white ball suddenly fell.

The two staggered, and in the end, neither touched the other.

"Smack!"

"Good Ball !!"

The first ball was not swung and the second ball was missed.

In the blink of an eye, Yokazu Kuramochi was chased by two good balls.

"Two good shots!"

"Hongo !!"

In the ranks of the troll Oshimaki High School, there was an excited shout.

They were so excited, so excited that they could barely understand why.

Awesome, cool!

All kinds of feelings filled their hearts.

At this time, the trolls seemed to have seen their victory.

After taking the lead by two good shots, Hongo on the pitcher's mound remained unmoved.

It seemed to him that this was a normal thing.

Strike zone.

Kuramochi swallowed with difficulty, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

It's like encountering a difficult opponent in a fight, and the blood has cooled down.

What he is thinking about now is how to defeat his opponent?

When he was a kid fighting, Kuramochi was not the tallest and strongest person.

But when he fights, he rarely loses to others.

There are two reasons for this.

The first is because he has an agility and speed that no one else can match.

The second aspect, it's because he has the wisdom to fight.

Fight with your opponent, strike first, and strike later.

If you want to solve the problem of Hongo, waiting step by step is useless.

Thinking of this, Kuramochi stepped out, his body pressed tightly against the inside corner.

After two good goals, don't you plan to give up?

Renji frowned and looked at the opponent in front of him.

After the two good balls were chased, instead of giving up, they stuck their bodies tightly to the edge of the good ball belt.

To say that the other party doesn't have any thoughts in his heart, Renji doesn't believe it.

The opponent put on this posture in order to block Hongo's inside corner.

That's a good idea, but how do you shoot an inside corner with such a stance?

Thinking of this, Renji decisively gave Hongo a secret signal for an inside corner.
