"This genius is really the child of destiny..."

In the strike zone, Mishima, the third baseman of the Yakushi High School baseball team, said with an intoxicated expression.

He felt that this was the opportunity given to him by the god of fate.

"I've hit a home run before, and if this one goes out again, then I'll be ahead of the Thunders."

"Hee-hee! When the time comes, even the overseer will have to admit that the strength of this genius is right? ”

Mishima had a big belly and a stupid smile on his face, looking like a two-hundred-five.

However, it was such a two-hundred-and-five, and when he hit the last round, he cleanly flew out of the two-point home run.

Helped the pharmacist high school baseball team blow the horn to expand the score.

The reason why the three high schools of the city are so passive now is that the relationship with Mishima is also very big.

"Lost to this kind of two hundred and five!"

Takami was secretly bitter in his heart.

As the partner of Manaka, Takami knows better than anyone that what is the state of Manaka now?

To put it bluntly, the pitching state of the real is indeed not optimistic.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hit out by Akiba and Masuda in a row.

"It's a pity, if only the ball Masuda had just hit, Hoshida could have stopped it."

If Masuda had just hit that shot, they could have stopped it, and they would have been able to get through this crisis relatively smoothly.

As long as they can get through this crisis, the rest will be easier to solve.

But now, frustration doesn't solve the problem.

Takami looked up at the pitcher's mound, his gaze unwavering.

"You should know very well, Ah..."

If they can't get out of games this time, then they will be very, very disadvantaged after that.

If you are not careful, it is even possible to let the opponent end the game early in 7 rounds.

The opponent is the Yakushi High School baseball team.

If they are terminated early by the other party, then the third high school of the city is not just a matter of being eliminated.

They may even be kicked out of the sequence of the big three clubs in Western Tokyo.

For a team that has just won the national quarterfinals in the spring Koshien field.

This result is obviously something they cannot afford in any case.

And in the current era, in such an environment as Nishitokyo.

Once the City University Big Three Baseball Team is kicked out of the Big Three, will they be able to stay as competitive as the Qingdao High School baseball team?

It's also hard to say.

Don't look at the Seido High School baseball team, which has not been able to make it to Koshien for several years in a row, they are still able to recruit some good seedlings every year.

But if you change the city to the third high, it will not be necessarily.

Once they can't recruit the best seedlings, it will be like a vicious circle, and their grades will only get worse and worse.

In the end, he was completely kicked out of the sequence of the strong team.

Of course, this is only a possibility, and it will not necessarily become a reality.

But even this possibility is not something they can accept.

"I know."

Of course, Manaka understands this.

Even as the ace of the city's junior high baseball team, he knows this better than anyone.

In the face of such a critical situation, Manaka's thinking is surprisingly calm.

He looked up at Mishima in the strike zone.

Thinking back on the experience of the two fighting, Manaka has to admit that this fat man who looks like a whirring is very good at blowing.

The two face off head-to-head.

The probability of Mishima hitting the ball is very high.

But even so, Manaka didn't mean to back down in the slightest.

He knows exactly what his duties are, what is it?

"I believe in the partner behind me, and I believe in the honing of my senior high school for so many years......"

I don't know why, Manaka wants to recall the moment when he parted ways with Koichiro Tanba.

In Manaka's heart, after the two enter high school, they will definitely "fight side by side together."

But Tambo told him.

"I don't want to chase your back all the time, I want to be an ace too. The Seido High School baseball team has sent me an invitation......"

At that time, Zhenzhong's heart was greatly impacted.

Emotionally, he had no way to accept it.

But objectively speaking, his friend doesn't seem to have done anything wrong.

Tamba is just yearning for a bigger stage.

However, until Tanba joined Seido, they haven't even scored Koshien once.

Manaka once asked Tanba if he had ever regretted his choice?

"Nope!"

Despite the regret in Tamba's eyes, he replied categorically.

It seems that becoming the ace of the Seido High School baseball team has always been something that Tamba has longed for.

Even if he didn't make it to Koshien because of this, he never regretted it.

What about yourself?

We ask ourselves.

Did you ever regret it?

"Coincidentally, I've never regretted it, Koichiro."

Manaka wants to pull off the frame and throw the baseball in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

The moment of the genius hit the ground running, and that is now.

Mishima, who was in the strike zone, grabbed the bat in his hand tightly with both hands, calculated the right time, and swung it fiercely.

"Ping!"

The moment the bat hit the baseball, Mishima's face changed.

Low-angle, slideball?

He didn't expect that at this time, Manaka would actually use the low-angle slider that he had hit a home run before.

"How dare he?"

Mishima couldn't help but think about it, and the white baseball flew out almost against the ground.

Baseball is once again in Hoshida's place.

Hoshida's feet stomped on the ground, instantly increasing the speed of his body to the extreme.

Then he pounced sideways and pressed down the baseball that was flying against the ground.

"Smack!"

After receiving the ball, Hoshida got up and passed the ball to first base.

"Out!"

Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.

The city's junior baseball team didn't make a mistake this time, and they just stopped the ball.

Mishima, the self-proclaimed child of destiny, returned to the rest area with an unwilling face.

"Just a little bit! I didn't expect the ace of the city's third-year high baseball team to be so bold? ”

Mishima's chance to become a child of destiny came to an abrupt end.

The players of the other two giants in West Tokyo in the stands were also silently relieved.

Although their relationship with each other is mortal enemies.

But in any case, the names of the three giants of Nishitokyo are neck and neck.

If the three high schools of the city university were to end the competition early by the pharmacist, their reputation would also be damaged before they defeated the pharmacist.

Now this result, although the city's third-year high baseball team, there is a high probability that it will still lose.

But in their hearts, it is no longer as difficult to accept as before.

The game came to the bottom half of the 7th inning, and the city junior high baseball team attacked.

The first to step into the zone was their team's No. 1 batter.

"You can't follow the rhythm of the other party, and you don't have to worry, Li Lei's pitch count is already approaching 60. He is a junior high school student who has just entered high school, and his physical strength cannot be too abundant. Seventy balls is probably the limit! ”

Before going on the field, Inspector Tahara explained many things to them.

One of the most important points is that you must not follow Li Lei's rhythm.

Once they follow Li Lei's rhythm, then in today's game, it is even possible to be shot by Li Lei.

"Are you willing to be played around by such a first-grade guy? Wake up, boys. We still have a chance, but the difference of five points is not huge. I believe in all the efforts you have given in the past three years......"

Compared with the previous Tahara, the current Tahara superintendent looks obviously a little anxious.

It's not that he's not composed.

It was really the situation in front of him, and Superintendent Tahara couldn't calm down at all.

"Slowly wear down the opponent's fighting spirit and physical strength, and then seize the opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop."

"Yes!"

The voice was still hovering in the ears of the first baseball player on the junior high baseball team of the city university.

He did not allow himself to fail at this time.

The batter in his hand was raised high, and his eyes were staring at Li Lei on the pitcher's mound without blinking.

At this time, Li Lei threw a ball.

It's not the center, it's the center.

This is also the first batter of the city's junior high baseball team, and the most favorite position to hit.

He restrained his physical impulses in his heart.

He knew he shouldn't have shot at this point, he should have watched a ball first and then dwelled on it.

Consume as many shots as possible from Lee Lei on the pitcher's mound.

But this kind of ball sent to his hand, he can't help it at all, okay?

Just when baseball was about to come to him, the psychological defense of the first baseball player of the city university's junior high baseball team collapsed.

As a strong stick of the giants.

If he doesn't make a move at this time, then he won't be able to forgive himself in the future.

I saw him step out, and as the center of gravity of his body changed, the bat in the player's hand also whistled out.

When I see a hitter hit.

Supervisor Tahara, who was in the rest area of the city's junior high baseball team, was dumbfounded.

Why did you shoot again?

……
