In the first half of the fifth inning, the Peace School was the attacker, and the blow started from the first bat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When it was Lee Wonrang's turn to play, the situation on the court was one out, and the stalwart Miyagi was at second base.

There were no surprises in the rest of the process.

Three bad balls in a row.

On the fourth ball, Li Yuanrang waved the bat. And the catcher Guben almost stood up in order to catch the outside corner high ball.

One good and three bad.

"Do you want to win or just concede fewer points?"

Li Yuanrang asked the other party's catcher beside him.

"It's because you want to win that you have to concede fewer points."

This is the answer of the ancient book.

At the same time, a shout from Captain Fukushima was heard in the rest area on the side of first base.

"Don't provoke the other party!"

In the ethics of college baseball, although deliberately four bad shots are a despised tactic. However, swinging a baton in the face of a bad ball that is deliberately delivered is also considered a provocation.

So Li Yuanrang honestly waited for the fourth bad ball to go into the catcher's glove. Walked up to the first base.

Next, it's almost always a straight ball. Aoi, a pitcher with a ball speed of only about 135 kilometers, made Fukushima with four bats and Yabe with five bats in a row. In this half game, the Peace School failed to extend its lead.

In the rest area during the exchange of offense and defense, Li Yuanrang asked Yabe beside him while wearing the catcher armor.

"I just looked from the direction of first base, and I didn't necessarily see it accurately. The opponent's ball pattern seems to have changed again? ”

In the matter of matching, Yabe is almost Li Yuanrang's enlightenment teacher. Therefore, Li Yuanrang always communicates his observation experience with the other party for the first time.

"At least my seat has changed, and I didn't guess it at all with the experience I just had."

Yabe replied.

Suginon's pitcher Aoi was only temporarily pushed to the pitcher's hill in place of Sakamoto, the ace who had exerted too much physical strength in the previous game.

There is only one kind of curved ball, and it cannot be used in basic actual combat, and the speed of the straight ball is only useful in the game at the college level.

But in the first half of today's race, Aoi's results were actually quite good. The conceded points were suppressed to within three points. Didn't give the center of the Peace School a chance to score a lot of points.。

I am afraid that the role of the catcher Gu Ben accounts for more than half of this.

"But I think no matter how difficult Guben's ball is, I should still be able to play it."

Li Yuanrang felt that even if he couldn't see through the opponent's distribution strategy, he could still hit a hit with his instinctive swing.

"That's why your opponent doesn't give you a chance to swing at all."

Obviously, the opponent did their homework before the game.

……

After five innings, Suginon's ace Sakamoto, who played as an outfielder today, hit a second home run.

Immediately after that, relying on the sacrifice of teammates to touch and strengthen the strategy of forcing points. Sakamoto returned to home plate.

Shannong Dafu pulled back a point.

In the sixth game, the Peace School relied on almost the same routine and also scored points.

The tempo of the game changed in the seventh inning.

At the beginning of the first half of the seventh inning, the pitcher of Suginong Daifu and the stalwart exchanged guard positions.

Ace Shinichi Sakamoto, who had pitched more than 140 pitches in the previous game, returned to the pitcher's mound.

Miyagi, the first bat, and Masaoka, the second bat, received strikeouts one after another.

And then there was Li Yuanrang.

"If it's the opponent's ace pitcher, there's still a chance to compete."

Li Yuanrang thought so in his heart, but the reality he actually faced was no different from before.

Before the blow began, Li Yuanrang turned his head to look at his opponent's rest area.

Miura, the other superintendent standing there, did not say anything.

But the pitcher's pitch was still four bad balls in a row, and it was an undisguised ball from the catcher in the outer corner.

Obviously, every seat threw a ball at Lee Wonrang, which was a strategy set before the game began. There is no need for a special explanation from the supervisor, and there will be no change after the pitcher change.

The next blow from Fukushima was an endorsement of his opponent's tactics.

The first ball, an inside corner ball, was hit to the front of the third baseman. Out.

"If you let the opponent's ace play at the beginning, maybe this game will be really dangerous."

In the gap between offense and defense, Fukushima Kazuhei began to reflect on the game policy he had set.

Thanks to a two-point lead in the first six innings of Aoi's pitch. So the situation that the Peace Academy is facing now is not passive.

Although the fatigue from the previous game may not have recovered yet, in terms of form, Sakamoto was quite good today.

The ball speed is about 135 kilometers away from Aoi. The change ball is also mainly a curveball.

If you use this digital concept to interpret Shinichi Sakamoto's pitching, I am afraid that it will not be very amazing.

But whether it's a straight ball or a varied ball, there's also ball control and stamina. Sakamoto is a super-enhanced version of Aoi.

Especially the curveball as the decisive ball. It wasn't the result of deliberate practice, but Sakamoto's own pitching habits. The trajectory of the curveball is closer to a vertical fall.

Although it is held and shot in the same way as an ordinary curveball, the actual effect is close to that of a longitudinal curveball.

It was because of a misjudgment of the trajectory of this curveball that Fukushima played the game.

In the later games, the Peace School Park still has two opportunities to attack. Looking at the current trend, you can either get a point or two. But it's more likely that you won't be able to grab a point.

Holding on to the two points leading now is the key to winning this game.

"Is there any secret weapon in the opponent's bench lineup?"

Before going on the field, Li Yuanrang asked Tian Gu, who was in charge of data collection.

"I'm afraid not, according to the previous information, they are the strongest nine people first. Unlike our bench, there are players on the bench who are experienced in striking at all times. ”

When Tagu says about striking experienced players, he definitely refers to himself. The last time I played as a starter, the batting results were not bad. There is also a dot in the account. But at this point in time, none of his teammates followed his topic.

"If it's still the nine people on the field. The first six games scored two points, and the next three games should be at most one point. ”

Li Yuanrang's calculation method is a bit simple.

"But we should try not to lose a point, right?"

Kazuhei Fukushima walked past them with pitcher gloves. Then run to the sideline with small steps. Fukushima paused as he crossed the sideline to make sure his right foot stepped into the door first.

"This man has been getting more and more superstitious lately."

Yabe said, looking at Fukushima's back.

"When did this habit of entering with the right foot start first?"

Li Yuanrang asked.

"It seems like the time I finished a no-hitter game. He went back and watched the footage and found that he had stepped into the court with his right foot in every game. ”

"Then let's hope his habit really works."

After saying that, Li Yuanrang also put on the catcher mask and walked to the back of home plate.

He spent a few seconds torturing whether it would be better for him to enter with his left or right foot first.

But it took two steps to remember.

The spotter crouch behind home plate has no sidelines.
