Chapter Ninety-Three: The Storm (Part 1)
In the strike zone, Li Lei was expressionless.
His gaze was steady, as if he was doing a job he didn't like.
Compared to pitching, it is completely in control and completely designed by yourself, like a magician on stage.
When he hit, Li Lei didn't have much pleasure or excitement......
But he still has to do it.
As a baseball player, he wants to enter Koshien with the team and create unprecedented dark horse history.
He can't be biased.
It's like a top student who wants to get a good score when he is taking an exam.
In addition to the subjects you like to be good at, some subjects that you don't like so much, you need to put more effort and energy into studying.
Just like before, Li Lei has to practice 200 swings every day.
100 swings with the ball, 100 swings without the ball.
Hard work and sweat don't lie.
That's a quote from those guys on the Seido High School baseball team.
When playing a practice match with them, Li Lei once heard from Sawamura and them.
Li Lei thought so.
Let's compare it with before joining the Pharmacist High School baseball team and more than three months after joining the Pharmacist baseball team.
How much has Li Lei's pitching strength improved?
He still doesn't know.
But the strength of his strike has undoubtedly improved a lot.
So much so that now, Xiao Dao, who doesn't seem to have weak pitching strength, is not too powerful in Li Lei's eyes.
As long as he plays normally, there is a high probability that he will throw the ball out.
Li Lei has confidence in himself.
But on the baseball team of Yakushi High School, his teammates are full of worries about his next performance.
"Li Lei, that kid is okay, right?"
Mishima frowned.
"Based on your previous performance in the strike zone, it seems that you are not qualified, so worry about Li Lei, right?"
The seniors were not polite at all, and directly pointed out Mishima's pain points
From the 1st to the 5th, everyone except Mishima hit the ball.
They either hit a home run or hit a hit.
Yakushi High School's outstanding performance in striking is undoubtedly eye-catching.
The more this situation is, the more Mishima's blow mistakes will be magnified.
The contestants mocked him, which was not polite at all.
The players on the Yakushi High School baseball team are much more alive than the players on any other team.
When your teammates do a great job, they praise them a lot.
Whether it's a garrison, or a strike.
As long as you perform well, the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team will definitely not skimp on their applause.
They will praise you with the best words in the world.
But if you behave poorly, you can't blame others for being complained.
"I told you, it's just a coincidence."
While the few people were talking, Kojima on the pitcher's mound threw the baseball in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The white baseball flashed and smashed into the catcher's open glove.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
Seeing this scene, the pharmacist contestants who were still arguing just now frowned unconsciously.
Thunder City's super home run, the effect is obvious.
If they were not mistaken, after the home run, the state of the pitcher on the Chengkong High School baseball team was greatly affected.
Sanada just seized the opportunity and hit the ball out.
Originally, the friends of the pharmacist high school baseball team thought that the other party was shaken, or that this state was unstable.
It's going to be going on for a while.
Unexpectedly, after only one blow from Sanada, he recovered.
"Now, I'm afraid it's really a bit troublesome!"
Even those third-year seniors who had just complained about Mishima couldn't help frowning.
Compared to Autumn Leaves, Li Lei's striking strength is undoubtedly worse.
Mishima made mistakes.
Li Lei's ......
Just when the players of the baseball team of Pharmacist High School secretly sweated for Li Lei.
The white baseball reappears.
The island on the pitcher's mound is a man who adjusts his mind very quickly.
After a critical hit, he can quickly forget the discomfort of being hit.
Then start a new round of pitching.
This was the case when he faced Mishima before, and now he is the same when he faces Li Lei.
Xiong Che, the coach of the Sung Kong High School baseball team, is a very famous and veteran overseer.
He will send Kojima as the first striker, just because he likes this trait in Kojima.
Although it is difficult for Kojima to surprise the team.
But his resilience won't put too much of a burden on the team.
Their team's ace is a bit special, and they can't finish nine innings at all. Considering this situation, it is definitely not a bad idea to let Kojima start.
Seeing that the island was back to normal, everyone in Chengkong was also silently relieved.
However, at this moment, Li Lei in the strike zone suddenly moved.
He stepped out and made a decisive move.
Two hundred swings a day, at this time, finally showed the effect.
"Ping!"
A white baseball is hit over the first baseman's head.
The first baseman of the Narikong High School baseball team, jumped high and tried to stop the ball with his gloves.
However, his gloves were four or five centimeters away from the baseball.
Eventually, he could only stare at the baseball as it leaped over his head.
Then smashed behind him.
Li Lei seemed to have done a trivial thing, running first to first base, and then to second base.
Sanada, who was originally on second base, took this opportunity to return directly to home plate.
The Pharmacist High School baseball team scored 4th points.
"Coincidence, it's all a coincidence!"
Mishima is thick-skinned enough to keep chattering, all of this is just a coincidence.
The friends of the Yakushi High School baseball team patronized Sanada and Li Lei to celebrate, and no one paid attention to him.
In the stands.
The faces of all the players on the Qingdao High School baseball team and the City University San's high school baseball team became more solemn.
Especially when they saw that the beaters behind Li Lei were still actively swinging their bats to attack.
They first ran with a hit-and-run to send Li Lei back to home plate.
Help the team score the 5th point!
Immediately afterwards, through active swinging and continuous cooperation, Fukuda, their 7th batter, was also returned to home plate.
You must know that the people who are doing all this are not the first-year monster newcomers of the pharmacist high school baseball team.
It's the players in their grade.
Although Kojima's pitching is not very strong in the eyes of the players of the two giant teams.
But it's not that bad.
However, it was such a pitcher who hit seven hits in the first round alone, including a home run.
Only Mishima, who was the third bat, and Mino, who was in charge of hitting the ninth bat, made a mistake in the attack.
Everyone else, all of them hit the ball out.
And helped the team, scoring 6 points in one go.
Before the end of the first game, the score on the court became 6:0.
The stormy attack power of the Yakushi High School baseball team not only stunned the players of the Narikong High School baseball team.
Even in the stands, the players of the two giant teams were shocked.
"I haven't seen you for more than a month, and the attack power of this team seems to be stronger!"
"Sawamura, how do you feel about fighting with them?"
Originally, the main rookie pitcher of the Qingdao Second Army, because of his outstanding performance in the practice game, has now been promoted to the Qingdao First Army.
He came to watch the game with other Qingdao friends.
"It's no big deal, I'll definitely suppress them next time."
