Chapter 107: Speed and Skill (Part 3)
"Pocket!"
In the rest area of Qingdao High School, Sawamura suddenly muttered two words.
"What?"
Miyuki on the side, his ears were terrifying, and he didn't know how he heard it, so he ran to Sawamura's side and asked.
"I mean, this tactic of Xinglong High School is called pockets. The other party should have guessed that Kuramochi might use a short hit, so he deliberately opened his pockets and waited for Kuramochi to drill into it. ”
"How do you know?"
Miyuki asked strangely.
The infielders of Xinglong High School did not drive forward, they still stayed in their original positions.
In such a situation, where does the other party's open pocket come from?
"Look at the guard posture of their infielders!"
Following the direction of Sawamura Eisun's finger, Miyuki really noticed that something was wrong.
The infielder of Xinglong High School is not like the average infielder, with his legs spread apart.
Their legs are also crossed, but the direction of the fork is not completely crossed, but the right foot takes a little more step forward.
Don't underestimate this, if they have this, they can move forward in advance.
"It's insidious!"
Miyuki was scared out of a cold sweat, as if he had seen the picture of Kuramochi being solved after the short fight.
On Miyuki's side, hearing Miyuki shout out the three words really insidious, Sawamura's inexplicable old face turned red.
I think this set of actions was designed by him at the beginning.
When he was on the baseball team of Akagi Middle School, the big demon King Eijun Sawamura's pitching was invincible, and in order to attack Akagi Middle School, other teams often used short plays.
At that time, the Akagi High School baseball team was forced to have no choice but to choose one of the two.
Either let the players drive forward or ignore it entirely.
In this way, the initiative is naturally lost.
For this matter, Sawamura struggled for several days, and finally came up with such a solution.
This tactic is called pocketing.
It means opening the pocket and letting the opponent carry the ball into the pocket on their own.
Unexpectedly, Feng Xiang Aoyi actually taught this set of tactics to Xinglong High School.
Sawamura Eijun, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of lifting a stone and hitting his own feet.
So after hearing Miyuki's words, he laughed dryly a few times and didn't say anything.
The game continued, and Kuramochi, who was in the strike zone, was completely unaware that the opponent was waiting for him with his open pockets.
"Whoosh!"
Small white balls shot out of the pitcher's mound like a laser.
To be honest, I didn't plan to play this ball short. After all, in the last match, he had already used four short shots in a row. Even if he didn't make it to base at that time, I believe his actions still aroused the vigilance of Xinglong High School.
At this time, if you switch to a normal blow, you may be able to get the result.
Kuramochi thought so, but the other party didn't give him face, and in the face of his Uncle Kurachi, he didn't even do it before driving.
There is a way in heaven, if you don't go, there is no way to go to hell.
Since you are all looking for your own death, then what else is there to be polite to your uncle?
"Ping!"
Kurachi changed directly from the normal blow to the short hit.
The white ball bounced off after it was touched, and at the same time, Kuramochi ran towards first base like a mad dog unchained.
He's very fast, and he's scary.
Tohara, the third baseman at Xinglong High School, dragged his bulky body like a road roller and ran towards the white ball.
It looks bulky, but his overall speed of movement is not slow at all. Pick up the ball and pass the ball, and the action is done in one go.
"Smack!"
Almost as Kuramochi stepped on the base, the white ball was passed to first base.
"Out!"
Kuramochi was a few tenths of a second slower after all, and finally lost to the pass by a narrow margin.
"Damn! The base just flew! ”
Kuramochi pouted dissatisfiedly.
He didn't know that after listening to his words, Tuyuan on the third base subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.
Tainyima is scary!
When they had been prepared, they were almost unable to stop it.
Glancing at the back of Kuramochi walking down, Tsuchihara trembled in his heart.
The picture of letting this guy get on the base, Tsuchihara didn't even dare to think about it in his heart.
As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.
"Second baseman, second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato."
"Brother Demon, let's get out."
"Entangle, drag the pitcher down in one go."
"Go!"
Since being interviewed, Ryosuke Kominato's fame has risen.
Now, as soon as he stands in the strike zone, the cheers of the audience can't stop.
In the rest area of Seido High School.
Kominato Harushi looked at it enviously, the not-so-tall figure in the strike zone.
Brother!
When his brother wanted to go to Tokyo to learn baseball, his family, including himself, spoke out against it.
Who would have thought that his brother would come this far?
A star player with a national reputation!
"Let's have some fun."
Ryosuke Kominato's face smiled.
Through the observation of their previous information, he has a very clear understanding of his opponent.
Ball speed, ball path, change, mentality......
I have to admit that Haruka Nanami is really a pitcher with a very high degree of completion.
Speaking of Qingdao, Qingdao High School is also unlucky, and after playing these games, almost all the opponent's pitchers are quite distinctive.
In dealing with such an opponent, we must not be arrogant.
Take it seriously!
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Soon it was the full ball, and the number of balls was two good and three bad.
By now, Ryosuke Kominato has been entangled with Haruka Nanami for a full 11 goals.
"Minato!"
"Ryosuke!!"
"Qingdao !!"
The spectators in the stands felt like their adrenaline was starting to soar.
It's so exciting!
Witnessing this acrobatic blow is a very rare enjoyment for the audience.
In the strike zone, Ryosuke Kominato's face is not particularly good-looking.
The strength of the other party is obviously much stronger than he imagined.
The pitches are getting stronger and the angles are getting trickier.
If this continues, I am afraid that there will be a risk of failure.
You have to find a ball and hit it.
On the twelfth ball, there was a rare straight ball.
Ryo Minato gritted his teeth and waved his stick decisively at this ball.
"Ping!"
The white ball was hit and flew behind the pitcher.
Two tours!
"Well played!"
"Run!"
In the rest area of Qingdao High School, the friends chanted in unison.
Maybe it's their own delusion, or not necessarily, they feel that after entering Koshien, the overall strength of Ryosuke Kominato has changed drastically.
In fact, it was impossible for Ryosuke Kominato to be compared to Yucheng and Sawamura before.
The gap between them is very large!
Although Ryosuke Kominato is indeed very strong, it is not much different from Iza Jun, Masuko.
But now, Ryosuke Kominato's overall presence has significantly surpassed that of Jun Izaki and Masuko.
"Smack!"
Baseball bouncing off the ground......
