Chapter 66: Li Lei Returns to Pitcher Hill (2-in-1)
The score is 1:0.
The players of the original Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, as well as those supporters of their team, were adamant that the score would soon change.
However, the three rounds were over.
Carlos and White River, who they have high hopes for, have already stood in the strike zone for the second time.
But even so, the score on the field did not change at all.
Whether it is Sanada Shunhei who pitched, or Li Lei, who temporarily went to the catcher position to fill the position.
They were all on the pitch and showed a level beyond everyone's imagination.
They firmly controlled the score and did not let the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team take a step forward.
And looking at the momentum shown by the two, this is definitely not their last madness, but their confidence in struggle.
"Yes!"
"The Yakushi High School baseball team was really unexpected."
"Even if it's against some of the top giants in Nishitokyo, they can take the lead. The most important thing is that they can hold on after taking the advantage. ”
"It's amazing!"
"Regardless of the final result, the performance of the players on the Yakushi High School baseball team has proven to everyone that they have the quality."
"The history of the three giants of Western Tokyo is destined to be rewritten."
"It's the time of the Four Kingdoms to compete for hegemony!"
The two commentators of this game are both old fritters in the commentary world.
They know very well how to mobilize the emotions of the audience?
Even if it is a mediocre game, there is a bit of blood in their mouths.
Not to mention, the performance of the pharmacist high school baseball team was already outstanding enough.
They have the kind of ability that makes everyone jaw-dropping.
Before playing against the Yakushi High School baseball team, the three major clubs in Nishitokyo showed great interest in this team.
They are also firmly convinced that they have never underestimated this opponent.
They will inevitably give all their strength to deal with this strongest challenger.
However, the idea is one thing, and the actual operation is another.
Although they have all taken the pharmacist high school baseball team very seriously as an opponent.
But when it came time to the real game, the players of these giant teams were still a little stretched.
Has their strength really been surpassed by the pharmacist high school baseball team?
Be honest.
At most, the two sides are half a catty or eight taels.
Even the Yakushi High School baseball team is a step worse than the three giants in Western Tokyo in terms of overall strength.
But even in such a situation, they will still be caught off guard when they play against the Yakushi High School baseball team.
What does this mean?
This shows that when they look at the pharmacist high school baseball team, they don't come to the right conclusions at all.
Among the three giants, the opponent who attaches the most importance to the baseball team of Pharmacist High School is also the one who really uses all his strength to fight against Pharmacist.
Actually, there is only Qingdao.
On the one hand, it's the style that the team itself has, the kind of team that goes all out.
It doesn't matter if the opponent is a giant at the same level as them, or a weak team.
The players of the Seido High School baseball team can always miss any opportunity to entangle with each other to the end.
On the other hand, it's their special plot for the Yakushi High School baseball team.
But even so, when Seido played against the Yakushi High School baseball team, they also suffered a big loss in intelligence.
The sudden appearance of Sanada Shunpei disrupted the rhythm of the Seido High School baseball team to a large extent.
If it weren't for that unexpected turn of events.
Judging from the point that the two sides drew at the last moment, there is a high probability that the Qingdao High School baseball team can win the game.
They're strong!
The baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School has obviously suffered a big loss in this regard.
The Yakushi High School baseball team has previously faced two other giants in Nishitokyo.
Not only did they expose their hole cards, but the players' physical strength was also consumed.
The most critical point is that on the eve of the game, their team's original main catcher also had an accident.
Even the players on the baseball team of Inagi Industrial High School don't want to think so.
Deep down, they will also feel that this must be some unknown being, guarding them in the dark.
Before Daocheng Industry entered Koshiyuan, it always had a big knot.
This knot is the existence of the other two giants in West Tokyo.
Every time the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team wants to make it to Koshien, it has to put in great effort.
Even they don't succeed every time.
It used to be Qingdao, and now it's a junior in the city.
Maybe any of the rivals will come hard behind them.
Even if the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team really successfully advanced in the end, it does not mean that their future road will be smooth sailing.
There are many more things in this that are worth exploring and discussing.
One of the most important things is their dedication in the regional competitions.
In order to deal with those two rivals, the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School had to pay a huge amount of hole cards.
Their hole cards are used in the regional tournaments, and they will naturally be greatly discounted on the hills of Koshien.
Now the intelligence war is so developed.
And every crucial game has a video recording.
This means that after each team advances to Koshien, they will be able to gather information about their opponents.
Of course, it is easy for opponents to collect information about them.
In this case, which team keeps more hole cards will naturally have a better advantage.
When the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team participated in Koshien in the past, it suffered a big loss in this regard.
Because of the early leakage of hole cards, they were not only targeted by their opponents.
It was even counted by others.
Such an experience is really painful.
They really don't want to recall, and every time they think about it, their hearts hurt like knives.
In this case, the sudden appearance of the Yakushi High School baseball team is like a savior sent to them by God.
The Yakushi High School baseball team not only helped them deal with the threat of Qingdao and the City University junior baseball team.
After solving the problem, the pharmacist himself was crippled.
Is there such a good thing in the world?
At the very least, the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School have never seen such a good thing before.
So much so that they think it's God helping them.
So they took it for granted that they would have an easy chance of winning this final.
After all, the mission of the Yakushi High School baseball team has been accomplished, and the next thing they have to do is to leave the game secretly.
It was precisely because of this careful thinking in my heart at the beginning that the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School suffered such a huge setback.
And at the same time as this setback.
The players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School also have to change their mentality.
They are well aware.
The sudden appearance of the pharmacist high school baseball team was not to help them.
The other side is a real challenger.
The object of the other party's challenge is not only the city university Sangao and Seido, but also them, the king of Nishitokyo.
Even to some extent, they are the ones who the Yakushi High School baseball team really wants to challenge.
In the fourth inning, the Yakushi High School baseball team attacked.
The attacking stance of their players has also changed.
The third stick on the field was directly attached to the good ball belt, and it was obvious that the opponent had made his attitude clear.
Even if he gets hit by the ball, he has to knock the ball away.
See the subtle know.
Seeing this small action of the other party, the superintendent of Thunder Hiding subconsciously frowned.
He didn't think Sanada's pitch would be able to hide from Kunitomo.
However, the other party noticed it so quickly, and it was still a little beyond his expectations.
The other party's approach will undoubtedly limit Sanada's play to a large extent.
"But if you think that this will scare our family Sanada, then you are very wrong."
The opponent sticks his body to the edge of the good ball belt, and Sanada Shunpei doesn't dare to use an inside corner kick?
How can it be?
The more this situation is, the more decisive Sanada's pitch becomes.
He barely hesitated.
He threw the ball very decisively.
"Whoosh!"
The closer the opponent gets to the good ball belt, the more he has to throw the ball to that place.
Such an extreme inside corner.
Even if the opponent is in a normal position, it is definitely not easy to hit the ball.
Not to mention, the other party's position is extremely abnormal.
Then it would be even more impossible for him to hit the ball.
Although he worked hard.
But he still couldn't move a step, and could only watch as the baseball burrowed into Li Lei's open glove.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!
”
The two extreme inside corners in a row are all good ball belts that fly in close to the opponent's shirt.
The players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, even if they have a lot of effort, have no way to pitch like this.
He could only watch over and over again as the baseball flew past his eyes.
In this case, Sanada threw the third ball.
Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team hitter, still did not retreat.
"Smack!"
This time, the baseball did not enter Li Lei's gloves again, but smashed heavily on the body of the third baseman of Daocheng Industrial.
I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet?
Although Sanada Shunhei's ball control is not bad, it can even be regarded as outstanding.
But if you compare him with Li Lei, his ball control is far inferior to Li Lei.
In this case, how could it not be surprising that he threw such a controlled inside corner in succession?
The two good balls were not caught, so we can only say that they were lucky.
Now that luck has run out, the bad results are out.
Touch the ball!
Although the smash was not heavy, this time the third-grade base brought a great threat to the pharmacist high school baseball team.
The reason why they can now play leisurely and leisurely is to play against the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School.
There is a very important reason here, and that is because it is they and not the opponents who are in the lead.
But this time, the Baseball Team of Daocheng Industrial High School and the third baseball hitter are likely to change all that.
The next two hitters were Masako Harada and Narumiya Naruto.
Although in the previous duels, they have already defeated these two opponents and did not let them score.
But that scenario is extremely dangerous.
In other words, it's Sanada Shunpei's pitching that makes it difficult to restrain these two guys.
In this case, how they want to defeat these two guys has undoubtedly become a problem that they must solve.
Sanada Toshihei has high morale.
The opponent used such despicable means to replace a beater on base.
This made him very unconvinced.
He was desperate to make amends.
However, it was at this time that the superintendent of Thunder Hiding took the initiative to stand up.
He made a very decisive substitution order.
Now the situation on the field is that no one is out, there is someone on first base.
After that, Harada and Narumiya Narumi came on the field.
No matter what others think about this in their hearts, from the perspective of Thunder Hide, the scene in front of him is not optimistic at all.
He will have to act decisively to help the team defuse this huge crisis.
As long as Sanada doesn't drop points, then he has a chance to return to the pitcher's hill.
As for the immediate crisis.
As a matter of course, the superintendent of Thunder Hiding is more willing to believe Li Lei.
After all, no matter what, Li Lei is the real ace pitcher of their team.
Sending Li Lei out at a critical moment is undoubtedly their best choice.
"The Yakushi High School baseball team asked for a substitution, Li Lei as a pitcher, Akiba as a catcher, and Sanada Toshihei as an outfielder......"
A flurry of orders was quickly laid out.
The players of the Yakushi High School baseball team have undergone a major position change.
Li Lei even changed out of the heavy catcher equipment, put on the pitcher hat, and officially stood on the pitcher's hill.
When he appeared on the pitcher's mound.
The fans of the Yakushi High School baseball team in the stands were full of excitement.
Despite the accident, the main catcher of the Pharmacist High School baseball team, these supporters of the Pharmacist High School baseball team still firmly believe that as long as Li Lei stands on the pitcher's mound, it makes them feel extremely relieved.
They believe in Li Lei.
At the same time, they also firmly believe that only Li Lei can lead them out of the current predicament and lead the team to save the day.
"You're absolutely fine!"
In the face of the support and encouragement of these friends, Li Lei's face also showed emotion.
He was definitely on the pitcher's mound at this time.
Next, he has to face Masako Harada, one of the three strong sticks, and he has to face Narumiya, who is not weak at all because of his striking strength.
This is undoubtedly a huge challenge.
Li Lei was in the catcher position before, and he had clearly seen all the opponent's pitches.
To put it bluntly, he still knows the two opponents in front of him very well.
It is precisely because he has enough understanding of these two opponents that Li Lei clearly knows that it is definitely not an easy task to solve them.
"It's so stressful!
”
Although he felt the heavy pressure, those short-term support voices undoubtedly gave Li Lei great strength.
It gives him greater confidence to face the daunting challenges ahead.
"That's great!"
Li Lei sighed.
He held the baseball in his hand and raised his arm aloft.
Akiba in the catcher position also put on a posture of being ready to catch the ball.
And Harada, who is preparing to strike, naturally cannot let go of such an opportunity.
He also lifted his bat.
"Hugh!"
