Chapter 68: The Phantom of the Elf on the Bat (Part 1)
"What?"
Ohmae couldn't believe what he heard.
The third-year senior of his city's junior high baseball team asked him seriously, had you ever seen a bat elf?
This is a question that can only be asked by patients with advanced secondary and secondary diseases?
At least from the standpoint of Daqian, he didn't think that normal people would ask his junior like this at that time.
"I ......"
Ohmae looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
In fact, he had no idea what he was supposed to answer.
The senior who asked him a question flashed a trace of loneliness in his eyes.
"Can't you see a little monster like you?"
The senior said seriously, and Dazen was embarrassed to be the same as before, with a skeptical face.
He asked, somewhat uncertain.
"Is there really an elf on a bat?"
"I believe there is. There is a legend in our team that if you are in high school for three years, the hitter will not slack off for a day, and will swing 1,000 times a day with high quality, and when they will swing a million times. Some highly talented hitters can see the elves on the bats and land on their bats. At that point, no matter what ball is flying from the pitcher's mound, the hitter will be able to hit it? Can you believe it? ”
was stared at by the senior and asked.
Ohmae's original shaking of his head stopped in an instant.
He said with some uncertainty.
"Maybe..."
Although he himself has no way to understand, generation after generation, the seniors of the city's senior baseball team have inherited such a statement.
Perhaps, a certain senior from the third-year high baseball team of the city university has really seen it a long time ago.
Originally, Ohmae didn't believe a word about such a statement. But as he spent more time on the city's junior high baseball team, he spent more and more time.
When he heard a lot of his predecessors say that.
Ohmae also became skeptical.
If you even count the swings he practiced before he went to high school, the number of swings in front of him has already exceeded a million.
Even if you only count the practice of entering the third high school of the city university, he may have already reached the level of one million swings.
But until now, Dazen has not found that the legendary baseball elf appeared on his bat.
So much so that Daqian began to wonder if he was deceived by his seniors at that time?
After all, in this world, how can there be a real bat elf?
Although the legendary baseball elf, Daizen has never seen it.
But with the continuous and serious practice, he himself has gained a lot.
The striking strength of the big front is getting stronger and stronger.
So much so that now, Ohmae can be called the three strong clubs of West Tokyo along with Tetsuya Yuki and Masako Harada.
This name is not for fun.
That needs to be recognized by a lot of people, even professional teams.
Not to mention that Ozen has already participated in Koshien games, even if he has not participated in the Koshien games in the last time, the name of one of the three strong baseballs in West Tokyo alone is enough to give him a place in the baseball circle.
He has already been invited by professional teams.
In the summer of the last year of the third high school of the city, will they be able to make some gains?
It can be said that there is no interest at all.
People are interested in this person.
Originally, Daqian also thought that his strength was strong enough, whether it was in a giant club at the same level or in a player of the same age.
He's the type that stands out.
But even so, he had never seen the baseball elves that the seniors had told him at the beginning, so much so that Dazen thought for a long time that the so-called baseball elves were just legends of the seniors.
How could something like that exist?
Until today.
Before, Ohmae didn't believe that a first-year rookie player could force them to such an extent on the court?
But Li Lei did it.
He was really on the court, and he didn't have the slightest temper against the players of the city's senior high baseball team.
Even if it's compared to Ohmae.
Li Lei seems to be better.
Not to mention the rest of the team, even the fourth batter of the team.
After seeing Li Lei's pitching strength, he also had a very wonderful idea.
He even thinks they have run out of hope for today's game.
But actually calm down and think about it.
Their ideas seem to be a little too pessimistic.
Is it really that serious?
It doesn't seem to be.
The problems of the Yakushi High School baseball team itself have not been solved, otherwise they would not have been beaten by Miyagawa before.
The reason why the opponent seems so flawless is just because of Li Lei's pitching.
Li Lei's pitching is obviously a step ahead.
He was able to suppress all the players on the city's junior high baseball team.
That's the fundamental reason why it's the way it is on the pitch.
Originally, Ohzen thought that his baseball path in high school had come to an end.
But after witnessing Li Lei's pitching with his own eyes.
Ohmae suddenly had a different idea in his heart.
Perhaps his previous thinking was wrong, and he thought he had reached the top of the high school pyramid.
But in fact, compared to Li Lei, a first-year newcomer.
Not only did he have no advantage, but he was pressed everywhere.
What does this mean?
This shows that there must still be a way ahead of the big front, but the previous big front has not been passed.
When this thought appeared in Ohmae's mind, his whole person suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.
He seemed to see that the world in front of him was beginning to change.
The world became incredibly clear, and he was able to master all the rules.
For example, right now, Li Leila pitches the ball.
These movements appeared in the eyes of Dazen, and they were no longer as unfathomable as before.
"It's coming!"
The white baseball whistled and took a decisive step.
"Ping!"
The bat hit the white baseball and fell out of bounds.
This result seemed to be exactly the same as Li Lei had imagined before, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
"And two good balls!"
Li Lei, who got a throw-in, was unforgiving.
He stepped out again, and as his body's center of gravity shifted, the baseball in his hand whistled out.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!
”
The appearance of two throw-ins in quick succession made everyone in the stands obediently shut their mouths.
They were all very curious, the result of the final goal?
On the surface, Li Lei seems to have suppressed Ohmachi.
But every time Daizen swung his bat, he seemed to be able to knock the ball out.
All in all, the atmosphere of the scene was strange.
I can't say who of the two can be better.
In terms of momentum, it seems that the big front is stronger.
But in terms of practical results, Li Lei has now won two good balls.
Before he knew it, he had chased after Ohmae.
"What will be the final result?"
Just when people were thinking so, Li Lei threw his killer goal.
"Hugh!"
So far, all the changes on the court are exactly the same as the script that Li Lei planned before.
So now, Li Lei doesn't think that anything else can happen.
"Get out, senior!"
Just when Li Lei was thinking so, Daqian held the bat with both hands.
Maybe it was because the desire to blow in his heart was so strong that phantoms appeared in front of his eyes.
Ohmae seemed to see a dazzling white elf, resting on the bat.
But at this time, Daizen had no intention of appreciating it at all.
Li Lei's pitch had already flown over, and the speed was extremely fast.
Compared with Li Lei's previous ball, this goal has been improved by at least two grades.
Four stitches, straight balls!
"It's a powerful ray!"
In the rest area of the Yakushi High School baseball team, someone exclaimed.
However, at this time, the front of the Diaoyutai that was originally sitting firmly on the strike zone suddenly moved.
I saw him step out, and as the center of gravity of his body shifted, the bat in his hand also moved with the whistling.
"Ping!"
The bat sturdily hit the white baseball and flew it away.
Li Lei was a little dumbfounded.
"Outfielder!"
He turned his head and shouted hello.
But at this time, where can it be in time?
The white baseball, with sparks and lightning all the way, rushed straight to the rear of the court, and then rebounded to the ground.
The baseball that bounced up, after smashing into the parapet, had not yet exhausted its strength, as if it was about to be embedded in the parapet.
"Wear it, wear it!
! ”
The players of the city's junior high baseball team were full of joy.
It's not easy to play such a super long game.
Not to mention that with the emergence of this super long team, the city's third-year high baseball team finally broke the duck egg.
Miyagawa made it all the way back to home plate.
The city's junior high baseball team scored the first point, and the score on the field became 5:1.
