As a rather bold catcher, Miyuki didn't give Tanba seniors time to mentally prepare, but asked for a finger fork ball as soon as he got on the court, although he was surprised by Miyuki's boldness, but Tanba seniors still threw it according to the code.

The ball flew towards home plate, and the hitter was slightly surprised when he saw the ball.

'Here it is, straight ball....'

But the swing of the bat didn't feel as he had imagined, and the ball suddenly dropped in front of his bat and fell into Miyuki's glove.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Tanba's senior expression was very flat, as if it was like an ordinary ball.

Miyuki, who received this ball, also chuckled,

'The trajectory is the same as the straight ball, but it has the smell of a stretching ball, and it will suddenly fall in front of the hitter, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to be so powerful with this ball before I took it, Tanba senior, is this the result of the third-grade throwing group? It's amazing. ’

"Hey, I didn't hear he could finger a forkball."

"And the ball is fast."

The members of Inami who watched the game were as surprised as Qingdao Fang saw Narimiya Ming throw a speedball, and even Narumiya Ming, who was squatting aside and playing soy sauce, couldn't help but be interested. Harada-senpai, who has always thought that Tanba seniors were a strong man, said,

"I just said that you must not be careless, as long as you are serious about Koshien as a goal, everyone is working hard to the death, if you underestimate the opponent, then the person who will be eaten and wiped clean will be us."

Hearing these words, Narimiya's eyes became firm and fierce, and the arrogant pitcher Narumiya Narumi showed the momentum of Tokyo's No. 1 pitcher at this time.

With the blessing of Tanba's predecessors' new balls, this game ended faster than expected, and it was also more clean.

The knuckle ball only appeared for the first time, and the follow-up hitters were once again flustered by the emergence of a new ball, not knowing which ball to look at.

In this game, Tanba's predecessors successfully established confidence, and Yu Xing was also very happy.

'It's the best ball in terms of angle and speed, so it's easier for me to match the ball in the second half, Tamba. ’

Rong Chun and Tsugu who were watching the game in the rest area couldn't help but be touched, and the two people who were originally very similar to pitching were itching in their hearts.

Rong Chun took out a baseball from the pocket of his pants, although he couldn't pitch the ball, but it was also good to touch the ball to relieve his hunger.

"It's a good performance, Tanba, and the tacit understanding with Miyuki is getting better and better."

"I had a feeling when I was training before, and Tamba has adjusted his form very well for the summer tournament."

"I guess Miyuki was surprised, Tanba's skill in kneading is quite high. I was taken aback when I received the ball. As long as this kind of ball is used well, it can open the way for Tanba. ’

Although there are many voices of praise, there are also people who are a little worried, just like Vice Minister Rei Takashima, who is familiar with the situation in Tamba.

So far, it's been good, but Tamba's biggest weakness is that he will be defeated as soon as he gets hit. The question is whether he can overcome this. ’

By the end of the sixth inning, Qingdao led 12-0, and as long as the remaining innings were suppressed, Qingdao could end the game early.

In the first half of the seventh inning, Qingdao began the final attack.

"Miyuki, in the next game, please focus on finger fork balls when you match the ball."

"Huh?"

Yu Xing was a little surprised, this was a little different from his own thoughts, Yu Xing looked around the playground, and glanced at the Xiubei High School that was still struggling to support Xiubei High School,

"The effect of your goal just now is already very good, now that Inami's people are on the sidelines, it's better not to throw too many shots in front of them."

'Your power drops in the second half of the game, and I really don't want you to throw too many knuckles that require a grip. ’

"The finger cross ball is only used to lure the hitter, and I think the combination of straight and curved balls is ideal."

Miyuki calmly expounded his point, but some words were still pressed in his heart and not spoken. Tamba senior wiped his sweat with a towel and insisted until,

"No, I'm going to focus on the knuckles. There are not many opportunities left to test it in the competition. ”

Miyuki, who was a little embarrassed by the strength of Tanba's predecessors, didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere of the Qingdao side was also a little embarrassed.

"Hey, I thought it was getting better, but it looks like those two still don't get along." ’

"Tamba ....."

Superintendent Kataoka, who had been sitting in the rest chair in front of him, suddenly spoke, and just as he was about to say something, Rong Chun suddenly interjected and came in,

"Hey~~, it's mainly a finger fork ball, isn't it good to train in actual combat?"

Rong Chun, who suddenly spoke out, startled everyone, and the senior Kurachi standing beside him hurriedly stopped him,

"Sawamura, shut up...."

"What, I'm telling the truth, Tamba's predecessor is obviously an ace, isn't he? As the core of the team, everyone is a little overprotective of Tanba's predecessors. ”

Ignoring the kind reminder of Cangzhi's senior, Rong Chun continued, to be exact, he had wanted to say these words for a long time,

"Obviously, I handed over the most important number one to Tanba seniors, but from the supervisor to my teammates, I didn't feel that there were a few people who really agreed with Tanba seniors, and I always felt that Tanba seniors would completely collapse as soon as they were hit, like a fragile glass. For you, is Tamba-senpai an ace, or is it just a temporary replacement? ”

Rong Chun's spicy language pierced the calm shown by the Qingdao team, as a former ace who had not won a single official match in three years, Rong Chun knew very well what a trump card was.

Even though he is weak and his team is weak, he still believes that as long as Rong Chun is here, they will win all the games in front of them.

It's not because Rong Chun is the one who created this team, it's not because Rong Chun's baseball is more skilled than others, it's just that just looking at that back will raise infinite motivation and look forward to his pitching.

And in the current Qingdao, Rong Chun can't see these things, it is true that Tanba's predecessors often blow themselves up because their psychological quality is not good, but now no one wants to believe that he will overcome this difficulty?

"It's just a training match, and even now I don't want to let Tamba's seniors try to change themselves, so I want him to transform directly on the stage of the summer tournament, I really don't know if everyone trusts Tamba's seniors too much or other reasons."

Eijun threw the baseball in his hand and looked straight in the direction of Miyuki and Tanba's seniors.

"If you are a trump card, shouldn't you have the right to be willful? Is the so-called regular catcher of the first army just to make the ace more unscrupulous in pitching and make him what he imagined? Didn't you say that as long as the pitcher can pitch more freely and comfortably, you are willing to do anything? It's just that it's okay to accompany Tanba's seniors a little bit in the training match, after all, the will of the ace comes first. ”

Rong Chun didn't know why he said such a thing, but he couldn't control himself.

"Moreover, Qingdao is very strong, and it will not be thoroughly studied because of the observation of a practice match, and strong people will not become weak because someone observes it."

Rong Chun's voice fell for a long time and no one reacted, probably no one expected Rong Chun to have such a rebellious side, after all, except for Yu Xing, Rong Chun has great respect for all his predecessors and supervisors.

After a pause, Superintendent Kataoka spoke, and he was not angry because of Rong Chun's interruption in his tone, nor was he angry because of Rong Chun's suspicions, but just asked flatly,

"Tambo, what you just said is your opinion as a representative pitcher on the team, or is it just your wayward request as a player."

Hearing Rong Chun's words of 'fighting for himself', coupled with the overseer's questioning, Tanba's senior said firmly,

"I think it's both, just like Sawamura said, people think I'm a glass man too much, and they think that if I get out, I can't do it, so you have to protect me. I know very well that I'm likely to blow myself up or suddenly collapse in the second half of the game, and Miyuki should have taken these into account when playing the ball, but if I can't overcome this weakness on my own, I'll probably have to do it forever. ”

Senior Tanba paused, shifting his gaze from the overseer to Rong Chun, who was stunned by this complicated look,

"It's not just about not admitting defeat, it's about becoming a real trump card, I once heard what Sawamura said when he was training in the Second Army, but Ohmae asked him why he kept being a feeder, and Sawamura said that it was not only to practice pitching but also to enhance mental quality. I can rely on that either, but because I know too well the quality of my teammates, I will be happy and contrasting in my heart. So I need real games to sharpen myself more than my familiar teammates. ”

Tanba's senior eyes looked at Miyuki beside him again, and said with a firm look,

"So Miyuki, let me be the real trump card."
