Chapter 70: The Gap in Strength
It's not that the Nine Ghosts Yangping doesn't know that even if they are just these players from the Second Army in Qingdao High School, their strength is very terrifying.
He graduated from Matsumoto Shoba, from the same place as Tojo and Kanemaru.
After entering the school, I also chatted with two old seniors.
When we chatted, I also mentioned the orientation game.
The answer was incredible. That very strong Tojo senior, now he can only exert his strength in the field.
Not even eligible to climb the pitcher's mound.
Yohei Kuki wanted to ask Senior Tojo at that time and ask him if he regretted it?
The question was not asked in the end, and he was afraid that he would accidentally rub salt on the senior's wound.
But it was also from that time that the nine ghosts had a question in their hearts.
What kind of team is it? I was able to abuse Tojo senior into that virtue.
You must know that in his own mind, Hideaki Tojo has always been a very perfect and powerful man. Not only is the striking strength outstanding, but the level of pitching is also eye-catching.
Let me see it.
With such determination, the fighting spirit of the Nine Ghost Yohei is very high.
But in the blink of an eye, he was hit. The senior in the second grade did not choose to face him head-on, but directly used a short shot to steal the base.
This attitude is not at all like dealing with a new elementary schoolboy, but more like a game against a sworn enemy.
"What are you doing?"
Matsumoto, who shouted a timeout, walked into the strike zone and questioned Yohei Kuki directly.
"No ......"
Nine ghosts and Yangping subconsciously wanted to deny it.
"Don't tell me it's useless, I'm not a good pitcher. But you can throw your best ball freely, and I can guarantee that you will catch it! ”
Matsumoto said this very confidently, without the slightest stumble.
"The commander of the other party is Boss Sawamura! Don't look at the appearance of the boss as a decent man and gentleman, and when he executes tactics, it is quite obscene. He's a slewd grandmaster......"
In the lounge area of the 23rd graders.
Sawamura sneezed inexplicably.
Damn, who said bad things about Lao Tzu again?
The freshman timeout didn't last long, and it was over soon enough for the game to resume again.
After Matsumoto's adjustments, the old students originally thought that the new formation would undergo some changes, but it turned out to be completely different.
There has been no change in their garrison, and if anything, it would have been their pitchers.
The Nine Ghosts became extremely serious and did their best when pitching.
"Whoosh!"
The white ball is thrown, and it is very sharp.
The hitter in the strike zone was also unambiguous and swung his stick directly.
"Ping!"
The white ball was shot out and flew towards third base.
Make it!
The eyes of the nine ghosts on the pitcher's mound lit up, and he quickly turned his head to greet the third baseman.
"Third baseman!"
"Smack!"
Almost at the same time, the white ball slammed into the freshman third baseman's glove and bounced off.
The freshman third baseman who had just come on the field had not yet had time to adjust to the rhythm of the game.
Old students in the rest area.
Sawamura's eyes were terrifyingly bright.
The reason why he advised everyone to attack in the first place was to be in the case of the freshmen who were not mentally prepared enough.
Grab the score and take the initiative in the game.
Now these players in the second army are not the most powerful group in the same class. The strongest have been promoted to the first army.
In other words, the current players in the second army are the second-class players in the 23rd grade.
And the new students are those who have extraordinary potential.
Needless to say, dragging all the new students out, just in front of these new students, the strength of the two sides, the old students do not have an absolute overwhelming advantage.
If you want to crush your opponent, you must take the lead in the first place. Don't give your opponent any chance to react, just knock him to the ground, rub and rub again.
Rub until it is served.
Otherwise, even if the old students of Qingdao High School can win in the end. The score is also bound to not be too pretty......
For Sawamura Eijun's strategic intentions, the players on the field understood it very thoroughly.
In the blink of an eye, the situation has become that no one is out, and there are people on first and second base.
Very good.
In this way, the purpose of taking the lead has been achieved.
It's up to the freshmen to respond.
Yohei Kuki, who is on the pitcher's mound, is not a person who will admit defeat. On the contrary, his character itself is stubborn.
The more you are in a moment of crisis, the less you will back down.
At this time, the old student beater, it was the turn of Mimura in the third grade.
This is also a very powerful player, otherwise there would be no way to serve as the core line of the second army.
"Let's get the score!"
"Let these freshmen have a good look at what high school baseball is."
In the rest area, the old students are cheering on their teammates!
The spectators and supporters who watched the game from outside the stadium were also dazzled at this time.
"It is worthy of being a team that has been supervised and trained by Kataoka, and the overall strength is indeed very eye-catching."
"Anyway, I feel that the freshman voted well, but it's a pity that ......"
It's a pity that he ran into the second army of Qingdao High School. Plus the teammates are not very powerful.
The nine ghosts on the pitcher's hill did not mean to complain.
He was now so immersed in the duel with his opponent that he was completely oblivious to everything around him.
This guy's concentration is really extraordinary.
Sawamura nodded at the recorder next to him.
In other words, he recognized the strength of the guy in front of him.
A leaf knows autumn.
Although Yohei Kuki's performance was not very long, Sawamura still saw some clues.
He nodded, meaning that the guy in front of him had the value of cultivation.
The ball was knocked out and the defending teammates were not able to help.
In the face of such a desperate situation, he was able to not be discouraged and insisted on pitching.
The mentality of the nine ghosts left a deep impression on Sawamura Eijun.
Of course, his record is just a reference. The decision will be left to Kataoka's supervisors and coaching staff.
After all, people are really professional, and Sawamura Eijun put it bluntly, being a coach is also an amateur.
The level of Mimura and the previous two fighters is not at the same level at all.
"Ping!"
Without any hesitation, he directly aimed at the straight ball of the Nine Ghosts Yohei and swept the ball out fiercely.
The white ball landed in the gap of the guard.
The runner who was originally on second base trotted all the way at this time and returned directly to home plate.
Helped the old team to score the first point.
The aggregate score became 1:0.
The runner on first base went straight to third base, and the batter also ran to second base.
The situation became that no one was out, and there were people on second and third base.
At the same time, the veterans also had a one-point lead.
In such a situation, in today's game, Takatsu, the fourth batter of the old team, stood in the strike zone.
"It's so stressful!!"
Takatsu Hongchen exudes a fierce momentum all over his body. It feels like he's going to eat his opponent alive.
As the opponent of the Nine Ghosts, this feeling is much more real than the surrounding audience.
At this time, he somewhat understood why Tojo was bloodied at the orientation match.
The huge difference in strength between the two sides, coupled with the panic of his teammates.
It's just unplayable.
Especially these beaters, each looking more terrifying than the other. There is no respite at all, and the offensive is like a stormy sea, and there is no time to stop.
But no matter how difficult it was, the boy named Nine Ghosts Yohei never gave up the struggle.
"The guards behind you are up to everyone!"
The momentum emanating from the opponent's body was too strong, and with that hint of intuition, the Nine Ghosts knew it clearly.
It's impossible to miss your opponent's swing yourself.
At most, he can only miss the center of the ball.
In this way, if he wants to win the number of outs, he can only rely on his deep defense. That's why he said hello in advance.
But alas, his teammates didn't give him a response.
But it's not these freshmen who really refuse to respond. It's just that they are also under a lot of pressure, and there is no way to worry about anything else.
Before the competition, in the minds of many players, it was a very friendly exchange and coaching competition.
Isn't the so-called orientation competition just to welcome newcomers? Let the newcomers show their strength, see who is better and focus on training, or directly promote.
Isn't that the normal way to open an orientation?
But looking at the meaning of the old students of Qingdao High School, they don't seem to have the slightest intention of doing so.
On the contrary, they have a completely different understanding of the game.
One by one, they are like hungry wolves fighting for the right to live, and they want to kill their opponents to death.
Many players have this thought in their hearts.
Not to mention that the quota for the first army of Qingdao High School is full now, even if there is any change in the quota.
Nor will they give this opportunity to a first-year freshman.
The second- and third-year students on the court come to play with such a mentality.
"Whoosh!"
Yohei, who had made up his mind, threw the small white ball in his hand fiercely.
Gao Jin on the strike zone, a pair of eyes look ancient and waveless.
He watched as the little white ball came into view, and then swung the bat out in his hand.
"Buzz!"
As the bat swung, a low whistling sound like a helicopter had lifted off was emitted.
It feels dangerous.
"Ping!"
After the white ball was knocked out, it was like a galloping lightning bolt, instantly tearing through the newcomer's garrison.
Long hit! And it's a clean super long hit.
Runners on second and third base run back to home plate one after another.
The score that allowed the old student to take the lead was extended to three points.
Takatsu scored two points for a well-timed hit, and he himself ran to second base.
With this swing, he showed extremely terrifying strength.
also clearly told all the freshmen present how big the gap is between the two sides?
in the lounge area.
Sawamura Eijun's eyelids lifted and he looked at Takatsu Hiroshi seriously.
I don't know why, he always feels that the other party's report just now is somewhat familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere......
