Chapter 156

After the first goal, Miyuki immediately called a high-speed low ball, and the giant motorcycle players who had made preparations naturally followed at once.

But the baseball of the valley is not only the speed of the ball, but also the power of the ball, which is heavier than expected, hitting the bat, the giant second bat, and Ryotai Ohtani can only barely beat the baseball out in the end.

Because of the strength and power of the ball, the ball flew high, but not far. The formation at first base didn't even move much to catch the ball.

The valley easily suppressed the first two sticks of Ju Moda and ushered in the center line.

'Three bats right fielder Keigo Noma, right-handed, good at inside corners, typical of a clear base hitter. So get your straight ball right here. ’

Miyuki placed the glove low in the outer corner, and for the previous valley, it was all up to luck to throw it here, but not necessarily today.

"Bang!"

Just like Miyuki thought, the pitch of the valley came in accurately, and the hitter was just waiting and watched without swinging the bat, and easily got a good shot, although even if the hitter swung the bat, it would not necessarily end well.

After that, Miyuki guided the straight ball from the high outside corner to the low knuckle ball in the inside corner, and successfully let the unstoppable hitter hit a high fly ball from the outfield.

Izaki trotted a few steps and received the ball. Then he walked happily with the outfield guards to the rest area.

And at this time, Hongo also put on gloves and stood outside the rest area looking at the back of Qingdao going back, the pitcher with the back number eighteen.

Hongo had heard of Akira Shibuyani's name for a long time, and after the race again, he was in a good mood as the winner, but he heard some people's comments.

There was a faster player in his unclear place, and as a man of great pride, Hongo had never thought of such a thing.

Since then, the name of that person has been engraved in his heart, and they have never fought each other in the three years of junior high school, and Hongo has never heard of the name of Akira Tsukitani since he arrived in high school.

So when Hongo heard in the audience that the name of the Seido High School pitcher was Akatsuki Tsukitani, and the high-speed ball that exploded on the scene as soon as he appeared, Hongo knew that he had found it.

Hongo's heart is rarely a little excited, but the situation in Koshien is changing rapidly, and Hongo doesn't know if he can fight Akira Shibuya in the end, but....

If you don't even have the ability to walk in front of me, you don't deserve to be regarded as an opponent by me. ’

Hongo has absolute confidence that his team will make it to the end and win the championship, and their experience is completely different from that of these city kids.

Hongo, who had tidied up his hat, walked towards the pitcher's hill,

"Let's let the others see who's stronger today, Akira Tsukiya." ’

Kuramochi stared vigilantly at Hongo's movements, looking at his ordinary posture, and clenched his bat.

"Bang!"

"Good shot!"

Although he was mentally prepared, Kurachi's first ball was still empty, and then again and again, Kurachi continued to swing short and was struck out.

Looking at the expressionless pitcher on the pitcher's mound, Kuramochi's heart was very angry, because that look reminded him of the former Cheng Gong Ming, arrogant and invincible.

But Kuramochi can't say anything, because it's a fact that he was struck, and it's also a fact that he is weak in striking now.

Passing by Ryo Kominato's face was a little apologetic,

"I'm sorry, Liang senior, all three are straight balls, but the ball path is different, as written on the information, the ball control is very good, and the catcher's gloves have not moved."

"Hmm!"

As an old partner, Ryosuke Kominato naturally understands Kurachi's mental activities at the moment, but because of time, he doesn't have time to say anything.

Let's go back and have a good talk with him." ’

Ryosuke Kominato thought calmly, but with the same smile on his face as before. Although he has a good sense of the ball, Ryosuke Kominato, who lacks strength, hits Hongo's slider and is easily intercepted by the giant Mora guerrilla.

"The trajectory of the slider is somewhat similar to what we simulated before, but at a bit faster."

"I see."

Izaki was very polite on the first mat of every game, standing quietly on the strike zone, taking off his hat to the referee and catcher, and saying,

"Please advise."

There was a sense of maturity and stability on his always vicious face, but this calm expression was broken in a second, and it was still Izagi's trademark roar.

Looking at Izakishiki who was in good condition, Qingdao's cheering voice also followed, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"Bang!"

"Good shot."

"Phew!"

"Out of bounds.."

"Bang!"

"Bad balls."

Izaki retracted the pose, exhaled slowly, and re-grasped the bat in a pose.

'Come on... Come on... Come on...'

The baseball came out of his hand under Izagi's expectation, and Izaki swung the bat hard, but the baseball still ruthlessly reached the catcher's glove first.

'Late swing!? ’

"Three good balls, hitters out, offensive and defensive exchanges."

As Izuoshiki left the strike zone, he glanced at the location of the speedometer, which clearly said 150 km/h.

"Don't care, don't care, focus on the next guard."

"The speed of the ball has gone up, well, it's usually in the middle of the game that his ball speed will reach this level."

"Looks like he's in great shape today."

Qingdao chatted briefly here, sorted out his things and hurriedly went to the garrison position. And after watching Hongo's pitching more closely, I also have a clearer understanding of Hongo's strength.

As a person who is often pulled by Rong Chun to do striking exercises with his seniors, he knows very well the strength of his seniors, and Hongo's performance in the first game can be described as very good.

The pace of the valley was a little slow, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, and the valley turned his head to look and saw the side face of Miyuki,

"You've done a great job, so let's move on and hand over the baton perfectly. Shibuyani, Sawamura looked at you very seriously just now, and he smiled very happily after you eliminated the beater. ”

“......”

"Your pitch will give Seichi the best start possible, and that's something that both Kataoka and the rest of his teammates agree with."

"Yes, I see, Miyuki-senpai."

Got the response of the valley, and Miyuki didn't stop walking quickly to the home plate, while the valley was staring at the backs of his predecessors.

"Descending valley, our predecessors are very strong, if you look carefully, you will understand a lot."

Falling Valley's mind suddenly remembered Rong Chun's words from before, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that it happened a long, long time ago.
