Chapter Ninety-Five: The Advancing Qingdao Road (End of the Volume)
"Not convinced?"
"Nope!"
Wang Xi replied very calmly.
"Lying."
Sawamura Eijun smiled and shook his head.
"I'm not lying, the superintendent must have his considerations, what can I say as a player?"
Since there is no dissatisfaction, where did such a big resentment come from?
Looking at the expression on Wang Xi's face that did not admit defeat, Sawamura Rongchun felt very kind.
On weekdays, this guy is too mature, not at all like a 15-year-old boy. Sawamura Eijun has a special experience, so it is not surprising that he has such a performance.
In the final analysis, Wang Xi is just a little kid who has just arrived in a foreign country. is so old and mature, and he doesn't have the sharpness of a young man at all.
At least in Sawamura's eyes, this is not a good thing.
Now it is rare to see Wang Xi's emotions exposed.
It was only at this time that he behaved like a 15-year-old boy.
"Isn't there a famous saying among you? It's better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers! Instead of chasing those ethereal scores, it is better to take down the scores in a solid manner, which is the style of our Qingdao High School. ”
Sawamura Rongchun explained this, Wang Xi just nodded, but did not agree.
Sawamura knows very well that Wang Xi is not unaware of this truth.
It's just that he thinks he's special, or should I say so, he thinks he's sure he can hit that ball.
It's still too immature.
Even if he is not very good at being a teacher on weekdays, Wang Xi is a junior brother in his dormitory after all.
When he can help each other, Sawamura Eijun will not be stingy with help.
"Don't be so unconvinced, it's hard for you to win hits again in that situation! Don't think you've hit the ball twice before. In the previous two encounters, the other party has the element of underestimating you. I didn't take you as a freshman in my eyes at all, so I was very bold when pitching. ”
"But I've been slapped twice by you, and at this time, no matter how stupid the other party is, he knows that he can't go on a rampage. Guess what they'll do? ”
Sawamura Rongchun's question made Wang Xi stunned.
He hadn't really thought of it before, but it wasn't hard to guess.
"I should choose to fight with me from a corner kick that is indistinguishable from bad ones."
Sawamura put on a teachable expression.
He is really relieved that Wang Xi's comprehension ability in baseball is really not comparable to ordinary people.
He figured it out so quickly.
Spring Ichigao's casting partner will never have a hard time with Wang Xi at this time. They've learned enough lessons before.
At this time, the offensive four bads will definitely be used to create a full base.
Then face off against Kijima and Yamaguchi.
Judging from the results of the previous encounters, they are still very confident that they can solve Kijima and Yamaguchi.
At this time, Superintendent Kataoka let Wang Xi use a short fight, and Kasuga Ichigao's casting partner also had to accept the result of this compromise.
After all, if a full base situation is really formed, their situation is not very optimistic. At this time, Qingdao High School gave the opponent an outing at the cost of one point.
Kasuga's high casting partner, naturally there is no reason not to agree.
The two sides have a certain tacit understanding on this matter.
"This is called leaving a line for people to see each other in the future."
Wang Xi nodded.
Although he doesn't agree with this approach in his heart, he has to say that this is the one with the highest probability of winning.
"Just overseeing him......"
Wang Xi said.
Sawamura smiled and shook his head.
"The score is already in hand, and the tacit understanding is naturally gone. While the other party breathed a sigh of relief, give the other party the heaviest blow ......"
"It's insidious!"
Wang Xi is still very smart, although what Sawamura Rongchun said is very vague, he still understands what Sawamura Rongchun means.
Just looking at Superintendent Kataoka's righteous face, it's hard to imagine that he is such a person.
"The stadium is like a battlefield, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating. Unless you have the strength of Michael Jordan, otherwise, an honest person will not be able to go to the end. ”
Sawamura said with a wry smile.
In his previous life, he suffered a big loss in this regard.
Of course, it doesn't mean that baseball games have to be a game of intrigue, but if you don't pay attention to strategy. No matter how strong it is, it is difficult to make it to the end.
Presumably, Kasuga's supervisors and players also understand this.
The tacit understanding of that goal is over, and the next game is equivalent to a restart.
"Qingdao High School has been replaced!"
Superintendent Kataoka could no longer tolerate the two teams continuing to entangle like this, and he acted very decisively.
Through today's game, the substitutes should have understood and understood. Presumably, they will also come to their senses in the future.
The next thing is to win this game cleanly.
With a score of 3:1, there is no way to satisfy Superintendent Kataoka.
In place of Kijima Station on the strike zone is Kominato Haruchi.
At this time, Qingdao High School has already shown an attitude of full firepower.
In this regard, the players of Kasuga Ichigo High School have also been mentally prepared. Immediately chose to compress the garrison and not give Qingdao High School a chance to expand the results.
After Kominato Haruichi stepped into the strike zone, he stood calmly with a good ball belt in the inside corner.
Kasuga's high catcher frowned secretly.
At this time, the opponent actually chose to do this, obviously to block their inside corner.
Sure enough, none of the main players in Qingdao High School are idle people.
They are beginning to realize the weakness of their trump cards.
Kasuga's trump card is centered on the inside corner, and once his inside corner is really blocked, then there are only two or three ways he can choose the ball.
Choose one of those two or three to fight.
The probability of winning the guess is very high.
Give up the inside corners?
As soon as this thought appeared in the catcher's mind, he gave up without hesitation.
To give up an inside corner is to give up the most powerful weapon in their hands. Standing in front of the desolate beast of Qingdao High School without a weapon can't be reassuring in any way.
In such a situation, they have no choice.
Even if it's true, you can't give up an inside corner kick if you throw a touch ball in a row.
"If you're not afraid of being smashed, you can stay there."
The trump card of the spring is high, and everything has been given up at this time. His ball control is not as precise as Kawakami of Seido High School, and he can't guarantee that the ball won't hit anyone.
But now he has the determination, even if the ball does hit someone, he will let it go.
Anyway, throwing an inside corner is dead, and not throwing an inside corner is also dead.
In such a situation, they might as well die standing up.
"Whoosh!"
The white ball, accurately thrown into the inner corner, is about to fall on the body of Kominato Haruichi.
"Minato!"
In the rest area of Qingdao High School, there were exclamations one after another.
The small Minato Spring Market in the strike area is very calm. His eyes were demonic, glowing red, eeriely terrifying.
"You really can't give up an inside corner!"
The other party's choice was exactly the same as Xiao Minato's expectation, so he was very calm.
watched the white ball fly over, and stepped out directly. This step is he stepped outward, and after the step, his whole body was facing the pitcher at a 45-degree angle.
As his body shifted, the inside corner kick that was about to hit him turned into a good ball in the center.
"There's no better way to play than a ball like this!"
Even when he was in the rest area, Kominato Haruichi did not give up studying his opponents.
Long before he played, he already had a plan in mind.
Superintendent Kataoka sent him on the field, which was exactly what he wanted.
"Ping!"
After the white ball was hit, it drew a very nice arc and fell behind the second baseman.
Right in the middle of the two outfielders.
Haruichi Minato waved his arm very slightly, and then ran up to second base without stopping.
As for Kanemaru, who was originally on second base, he had returned to home plate at this time.
Helped Seido High School score a fourth point.
The aggregate score became 4:1.
Superintendent Kataoka glanced at the score and gauged the current situation.
Suddenly, he found that the situation seemed to be going more smoothly than he had imagined.
In this case, if you don't take the opportunity to beat the water dogs. The game could only drag on to the ninth inning.
Although the game dragged on to the ninth inning, it was not a big deal. But if you can play two less games, it will still be very beneficial.
And just like Coach Ochiai said before, the current Seido High School no longer has the qualifications to hide in the shadows.
They can no longer repeat the resurrection of the king.
Now they're going to work on a new Batu!
Crush all your opponents with your toughness.
Before, I let the substitutes play, but I also took into account their mentality and the selection. Through today's game, I believe that the players will adjust in the future.
In such a situation, there seems to be little reason to keep the substitutes on the pitch.
"Front Garden!"
Thinking of this, Superintendent Kataoka decisively started the replacement journey.
He replaced several people in a row.
The front garden was changed to a mountain pass.
Sawamura changed the knot!
Miyuki changed Ono!
……
These people who were replaced by Superintendent Kataoka with high hopes for the game.
In the end, it lived up to expectations.
First of all, the front garden, which won the hit beautifully, formed a situation where one person was out and there were people on first and third base.
Sawamura, who followed closely, was escorted directly after playing.
The situation turned into one out, full base.
At this time, Aso played high and failed to contribute to the team.
Two outs, full bases.
At the last chance, Superintendent Kataoka gave Miyuki Kazuya.
The captain of Qingdao High School lived up to the expectations of his own supervisor and cleanly flew the small white ball off the court.
Helped the team to four points in one go.
The overall score became 8:1, and the leading score of Qingdao High School also reached seven points.
This score is also the final score of this match.
With Wang Xi winning three outs cleanly, Qingdao High School played seven effective innings.
The last one advanced to the Spring Semifinals.
There's a lot to remember in this game.
One of the most classic is the crazy offensive launched by Qingdao High School at the last moment.
As the fame of Qingdao High School grew, so did the recognition of Qingdao High School.
Gradually, Seido has become a nationally known pitcher kingdom.
People seem to have selectively forgotten the true face of Qingdao High School.
Punch!
This is the true synonym of Seido High School.
In the final period of today's game, although there was an element of luck. But Qingdao High School really showed the terrifying strength of their strong fight.
People realized again that this was the real Seido High School.
