Chapter 42: Magic! Definitely Magic (2-in-1)
"Ping!"
The white baseball was knocked out.
Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people at the scene, the baseball fell off the sidelines.
"Out of bounds!"
The referee shouted.
Only then did the crowd relax.
Even the audience itself doesn't particularly understand what they are nervous about.
"A good goal, a ...... out of bounds"
The number of balls is two good, and there are zero bad.
The beaters were chased.
It seems that Yukiichi is also about to run out of donkey skills.
But the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, including those die-hard supporters in the stands.
The expressions on their faces were all very expectant.
It's as if they firmly believe that Yukiichi will be able to change all of this.
For the Seongdo players and supporters, it is impossible for them to be blindly confident.
Since they can have such confidence, it means that they have seen it before, and they have seen it more than once.
Yukiichi also completed the Jedi counterattack in this situation.
Originally, Li Lei's pitching, Yu Yukiichi also wanted to touch it, but it was very difficult.
But now.
He has been able to successfully touch Li Lei's ball.
This is undoubtedly a very obvious signal for the die-hard supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team, as well as those friends on their team.
As long as this signal exists.
Then they firmly believe that Yukiichi must also have a way to solve the dilemma in front of him.
"It's up to you!"
Although Rei Takashima was slapped in the face before.
But at this time, she still firmly believes that Yukiichi will not end like this silently.
Whether it's on the defensive, or offensive......
Whenever the team is in trouble.
This man can always stand up and lead everyone on.
Although he himself may not be aware of it at all.
But for the little friends of the Seido High School baseball team, and for those die-hard supporters in the stands.
He is already one of the leaders of the team.
As long as he is on the strike zone, then everyone can expect his performance......
"Keep leading the way!"
"You're fine, Miyuki!"
Even Yoichi Kuramochi, who has always looked not very serious, stared at Yukiichi with burning eyes at this time.
"I don't want to admit it, but if it's you, it's definitely fine."
Kuramochi firmly believes this.
He believes that as long as a friend takes action, all problems will be solved.
For Kuramochi, who is also proud in his heart.
It is undoubtedly very difficult for him to admit that others are better than him.
But even so.
Kurachi is deep down in his heart, and he understands it very well.
Yukiichi is also different from these guys.
After they entered the Qingdao High School baseball team, they were all promoted step by step.
Every step of the way, they walked very steadily.
Therefore, the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team often have an extraordinary self-confidence.
But at the same time, they have to admit it.
There are geniuses in this world.
If nothing else, let's just say that their opponent today is the Pharmacist High School baseball team.
Li Lei, who is just in the first grade, and the fourth bat of their team, Thunder City.
It doesn't matter how old you are or how hard you work on weekdays.
Can you really compare to them?
Answer: I'm afraid no.
It's not that they're not good enough, it's not that they're not working hard enough.
It's just a third-year player on the Seido High School baseball team, who is two years older than the other party.
Even before joining the Seongdo High School baseball team, they had never slackened in training. If they hadn't stood out in the middle school days, what qualifications and capital would they have to join Qingdao?
As for entering the Seido High School baseball team.
With the tragic involution mechanism of the Seido High School baseball team, their players did not relax for a moment.
No way.
As long as you dare to slack off, the people behind will immediately catch up with you and pull you off the position of the main force.
In this case, the main player of the Seido High School baseball team can shout that famous saying.
Who bleeds the most? Who shed the most tears?
King Qingdao.
This is no joke.
However, they are such a group of players who are not badly talented and have experienced brutal training.
In the game against the Yakushi High School baseball team, he was not able to take advantage of the slightest advantage.
They were even beaten badly at one point.
As for why the other party was able to fight with them to that point, the reason is extremely simple.
It is because of the existence of Li Lei and Thunder City.
These two first-year monsters have no less strength than their third-year players, and even stronger than the third-year players.
It was under their leadership that the Yakushi High School baseball team was able to stubbornly suppress Qingdao.
The score on the field is enough to explain everything.
Yukiichi is also a genius of this kind, and he is the best of the talented players.
His last-minute shot must have been extraordinary.
"Ping!"
When the white baseball was once again knocked out of bounds.
The players of the Seido High School baseball team and the die-hard supporters of their team became even more surging in their hearts.
Sure enough, their guess was right.
Even if he was chased before, now Yukiichi can still hit the ball out of bounds.
What does this mean?
This shows that the poor donkey skills are not the main catcher of their team.
It's the opponent's trump card.
A string of home runs plus surprises.
Even Li Lei, an ace pitcher who is as strong as the pharmacist high school baseball team, is a little stretched for a while.
Dizziness......
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
In the rest area of the pharmacist high school baseball team, the team's leading teacher subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
His nervous heart was about to jump out.
But there is no way, in the current situation, it is not something that he can solve, not even anyone can solve.
Only Li Lei himself.
"Don't be impatient!"
Overseer Thunder Hide waved his hand calmly.
"What should come will come, whether it is a blessing or a curse, and it cannot be avoided. When we've got everything done, the rest is left to God. ”
That's not to say that Boom Thunder's mood won't be affected by the game.
It's just that he's ready to accept everything.
Take, for example, the results of the Yakushi High School baseball team this summer.
Although the thunderbolt is hiding the overseer's mouth is very fierce.
said that these disciples under him would take him into Koshien no matter what.
But in fact, Thunder has a scale in his heart.
In terms of the strength that their team has at this stage, if it is in a normal division.
Maybe there's a real chance to go further, but not necessarily.
But in the division they are in now, how can it be so simple to break the domination of the three giants in Western Tokyo?
Not to mention, they will meet the three giants one after another.
So this summer, the chances of them really coming out on top are very slim.
Superintendent Thunder is well aware of this.
Originally, he didn't mind the victory or defeat of the game, and he thought that next year would be the time for the Yakushi High Baseball Team to show its might.
Now it's just a matter of accumulating strength.
However, these disciples under him are too capable, especially Li Lei.
I can't see it at all when I practice it in normal times.
But once he got on the field, Li Lei's whole person was like a different person.
He seems to be able to solve all difficulties.
This moved the superintendent of Thunder Hide, and at the same time, it also gave him a different ambition.
Of course, it doesn't matter.
If it is done, it will be done in one step.
At least they won't let it down, and now these third-year players.
For example, Masuda and Fukuda.
By the time of next year, these players won't have a chance to play.
"You should know that, right?"
The Thunder Collector set his sights on Li Lei of the Pitcher Hill.
And Li Lei at this time still maintained an expressionless appearance.
It's not pretending to be cold.
The main thing is that he is used to it.
Just like what his previous supervisor had taught him, the duel between throws was more like psychological warfare.
Few hitters can guarantee that they can hit all the balls.
Unless it's an adult bullying a child.
But even if an adult bullies a child, the probability will not reach 100%.
Few pitchers can guarantee that they will be able to tackle all the hitters.
There is too much difference in the level of the two, so there is no need to say more.
The strength is enough to crush everything.
But for the really top players, especially the ones who stand at the top of the pyramid.
The difference in strength between them is not that big.
At this time, the two sides are competing not only in technology.
There is also mental quality, as well as IQ on the pitch.
"You have to understand not only what do you think? You also have to think about what's going on in your opponent's head. ”
Li Lei looked at Yuyuki Kazuya seriously, wondering in his heart what this guy was thinking at the moment?
Not beat around the bush.
Li Lei couldn't think of it.
The other party has too many ghost ideas, and if it can be guessed so easily, he won't be Miyuki Kazuya.
Although there is no way to guess the other party.
But Li Lei can guess himself, so far, he has made three shots against Yukiyi.
Except for the first goal, Miyuki didn't shoot.
The remaining two balls, he all hit out of bounds.
"What would I throw in this situation?"
When this thought popped up in Li Lei's mind, Answer appeared in his mind at the same time.
It's time to settle the battle.
It doesn't need to be too much trouble, a low-angle curveball will do.
Faced with the ball within the good ball belt, Miyukichi had no way to resist the urge to shoot himself.
You think the same way, right?
Li Lei glanced up at Yu Xing.
Miyuki was also expressionless, but there was a hint of heat in his eyes.
Li Lei pulled out the stances and threw his last ball.
"Hugh!"
"Low-angle curveball!"
This is judged by Miyuki based on Li Lei's previous pitching.
In the normal pitching position, Li Lei can throw all the change balls.
His fingers are extremely sensitive and can be manipulated freely.
Even the ball control is top-notch.
As a partner, Li Lei is undoubtedly a very perfect candidate.
But if he is an opponent, Li Lei is not so likeable.
There was a deep threat in him.
Although he guessed the last goal, Yukiichi didn't hit it.
Because he knew in his heart that Li Lei would never really use a low-angle curveball.
Not only can he use his brain, but so will Li Lei.
At this time, Li Lei estimated that he had already guessed his intentions, and in this case, Li Lei would definitely make a plan.
"This is a straight ball from a low angle!"
Yukiichi in the strike zone also stepped out and swung the bat in his hand fiercely at the flying baseball.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes on the scene.
The bat seemed to be about to knock the baseball flying.
However, at this time, the baseball suddenly landed.
Curveball?
Seeing this scene, Miyukiichi's eyes widened in surprise.
He was fooled?
No, it's not that simple.
This ball is not lowered, but landed.
After bouncing off the ground, it went straight to the catcher's glove.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
"Strikeout!"
With Yukiichi also out of the game, if the high school baseball team quickly won three outs.
The two sides exchanged offense and defense.
The game also came to the first half of the ninth inning, and the Yakushi High School baseball team attacked.
But at this time, no one cares about these details at all.
They were all attracted by Li Lei's pitch just now.
"That was a straight ball just now, right?"
"How did you suddenly fall to the ground before you got close to the good ball belt?"
"Magic, this must be magic."
Even the stands were full of exclamations, not to mention the group of friends in the Qingdao rest area.
Their faces were hard to see, but they couldn't find a reason to say anything for a while.
While looking at each other, the eyes they looked at Li Lei seemed to have become different.
"This guy ......"
The friends in the rest area of the pharmacist high school baseball team excitedly surrounded Li Lei after he came back.
Someone offered to hand him water, and someone offered to give him a massage.
It's like treating a hero.
"I lost two points, and I'll be proud if you do this again."
Li Lei was made to cry and laugh.
It's not that he doesn't appreciate it, it's mainly that Li Lei really doesn't know how to face the enthusiasm of his friends?
For his part, he wasn't happy with his performance at all.
If it weren't for the two points they lost, maybe they would have been able to think about how to celebrate after winning the game.
"Let the past pass, time will not repeat. What we need to do is remember the lesson! Until then, of course, win the game in front of you. ”
"Yes!"
"How many rounds can you still throw?"
Now the game has come to the ninth inning, and it is the turn of the next hitter on both sides.
Judging by the performance of the pitchers of both teams.
The chances of them conceding points in the final game are slim to none.
"Let's go to three to four rounds!"
Li Lei did not exaggerate.
He could already feel his physical strength draining rapidly.
In a showdown with the core hitter of the Seido High School baseball team, it is estimated that it is his limit.
It's not that Li Lei won't be able to participate in the competition after that.
It's just that his state will inevitably be discounted by a big discount.
"Good!"
It was on the side of the superintendent of the thunder hide, at the same time that it had just been arranged.
On the other side, the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team caused a bit of a disturbance.
Sawamura, who had performed well before, was replaced in the rest area.
This means that even after the end of the game, Sawamura, who has performed well, will no longer be able to pitch.
The pitcher they fielded next was Koichiro Tanami, a third-year ace.
The superintendent of Thunder Zang was ready to play the playoffs, but he didn't expect to encounter such a pie-in-the-sky thing.
