Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Money Tree (2-in-1)
"Monster!!"
It's not just other people who feel this way, but Carl Ross, who is standing in the strike zone, feels this way too.
He felt like Li Lei was like an omnipotent monster that could devour him at any time.
"What a scary, terrifying fellow!"
Even Carl Rose, who has always been arrogant, has to admit that Li Lei's pitching is a headache.
His head is about to blow up now.
But even so, Carl Ross understands it deeply.
He couldn't back down.
Once he retreats, all the set-ups of their team will be meaningless.
He can't do that, he has to perform, he has to be stronger......
The more the opponent doesn't want him to fight, the more he has to use short fights to conquer the opponent in front of him.
The defense of the Yakushi High School baseball team is average.
There are even loopholes in this!
So as long as he touches the ball on the court, there is a high probability that he can go to first base unimpeded.
And as long as he can run to first base, the probability of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team scoring this point first will be greatly increased.
They have a good chance of winning in one fell swoop.
"Come on!"
Carl Ross in the strike zone has no intention of backing down at all.
Faced with such a situation, Li Lei is even more unlikely to hesitate.
He raised his legs high, and then his whole body turned like a windmill, and it seemed that the action was natural, but the strength of Li Lei's whole body was concentrated in one point.
Eventually, the power exploded in his fingers.
"Whew!"
The white baseball is like a bullet at this moment, with a deadly atmosphere.
Carl Ross noticed this.
To say that he doesn't have hair in his heart is definitely a lie.
But even though his heart was furious, Carl Ross did not retreat.
He watched as the baseball approached, holding the bat in his hand.
After seeing the trajectory of the baseball clearly, he decisively sent the bat out.
In anticipation, you can touch the ball in a short way.
However, just as the baseball was close to the good ball belt, the baseball suddenly fell at a rapid speed.
Although Carlos was not slow to react, he was off the mark.
"Ping!"
After the white baseball was touched, it stumbled towards Li Lei.
Li Lei and Carl Ross started almost at the same time, and the two of them were like two lightning bolts, rushing to their targets separately.
"It's so fast!!"
Those spectators and players in the stands also felt breathtaking when they saw this scene.
To tell the truth, they really didn't expect that the duel between the two could be like this.
Whether it's Li Lei or Carl Ross, if you don't keep an eye on them, you won't know where they are in the next second?
"It's finished!"
Carl Ross was really fast, he was almost racing against the baseball that was being played.
And his speed is no slower than a baseball running out.
However, just as Carl Ross was about to step on the first base, a dazzling white light flew to the first base in an instant, and smashed into Mishima's glove without missing a point.
"Smack!"
Carl Rose, who was galloping by, saw this scene.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Li Lei's return speed exceeded his imagination.
But Carl Ross wasn't flustered.
He is convinced that his speed is superior.
Carl Ross and Mishima both looked to the linesman on first base.
Then they saw the linesman and spoke to the two.
"Out!"
"Impossible!"
This result was obviously not acceptable to Carl Rose, who stared at the referee viciously.
The referee responded to Carlos with a determined gaze.
"Come back, you're a step slower."
The players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School are really a little unbearable, but they can't deceive.
They had to tell Carlros the truth.
The fact is that Carl Ross was a moment slower, and the baseball flew into the glove before he stepped on the baseball.
It's just that he was running wildly the whole time, coupled with the misalignment of vision, which made him mistakenly think that his speed was better.
Two were out, and no one was on base.
Although we have not yet been able to see the light of day, all the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team and the supporters of their teams are present.
Everyone celebrated enthusiastically.
"It's so handsome!"
"It's worthy of Raisan, it's too powerful."
"All-round trump card!"
"Not only can he pitch, but his skills on the pitcher's mound are also top-notch."
There was a sense of amazement.
They never thought that Li Lei on the court could be so handsome?
His whole person seems to glow, firmly attracting everyone's eyes and eyes, making people can't help but look at him and fluctuate with his emotions.
"One more out of the game!"
"Two out, two out!!"
The reaction of the players of the pharmacist high school baseball team was like a slap in the face of Daocheng Industry.
Let them feel extremely aggrieved and uncomfortable.
"Hold your breath and don't let your opponent stir you up. As long as we go into the play-offs with that scoreline, then we will win."
Realizing that the disciples under his command were a little uneasy.
The overseer of the friends of the country immediately spoke.
The words he said seemed to have some kind of magic, which made the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School quiet down in an instant.
"Whew!"
"That's right, as long as we can hold the score, the other side can't do anything about it."
"Our offensive is not over yet, don't be ambitious and destroy your own prestige, okay?"
As an ace pitcher, Cheng Gong Ming did not forget to show his presence at this time, and he used practical actions to infect the friends around him.
See him as if nothing happened.
The players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School also relaxed.
Their trump card is right.
The strength of the opponent is indeed not to be underestimated, and they have known this from a very early age.
And because they know this, they should not be swayed.
"It's not a big deal, just give them a chance."
White River in the strike zone is obviously different from the rest of their team.
Even if it was a bad situation where two people were out and no one was on base, the young man did not intend to give up.
His eyes were staring at Li Lei fiercely.
It seems that as long as Li Lei throws the baseball in his hand, he will instantly use thunder means to knock the flying baseball out.
His striking skills are superb.
Li Lei's current physical strength is a mystery, once he has a problem with his pitching, he is not able to show enough strength and speed.
White River will never let go of an opportunity.
However, in the face of such a situation, Li Lei's performance seems to be more decisive.
He didn't care about the loss of his physical strength, and used a straight ball at super speed throughout the whole process, not giving Bai He the slightest chance at all.
"Whew!"
The white baseball, with an unparalleled momentum, pounced in an instant.
By the time Shirakawa was determined to swing his bat, his speed,
It's been a little slower.
"Ping!"
The white baseball that was knocked out landed directly on first base.
Like a savior, Mishima instantly pounced on the landing point of the baseball and steadily took the ball into his glove.
"I'm a genius! Great genius Yuta Mishima !!"
Although the words that came out of Mishima's mouth were as annoying as ever.
But the friends of the Yakushi High School baseball team, as well as the supporters of their team, don't plan to deal with Mishima.
No way, who let this guy really stop the ball?
For the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team, including for those fans of the Yakushi High School baseball team in the stands.
That's all that matters!
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
The game had come to the bottom half of the eighth inning, and it was the turn of the Yakushi High School baseball team to attack.
The score on the field was still 1:1.
The Yakushi High School baseball team used Sanada and Li Lei's wheel battle, and the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team used Narumiya Ming, an absolute trump card.
The two sides fought a fantastic pitcher battle.
Although there were a little fewer hits and points on the court, it didn't look as energetic as in the previous games.
But this game, it seems, is even more exciting.
The players of both teams seem to be walking on a tightrope.
None of them can make mistakes.
One misstep is eternal hatred.
Such a peak duel, almost every second, attracted the attention of the audience.
"What an amazing fellow."
"I'm afraid Li Lei's physical strength can't hold up, and he doesn't want to play in the extra game."
The players of the Seido High School baseball team analyzed.
"How so? Narumiya played at the beginning, and no matter what, Sanada also supported Li Lei for a few rounds. If you don't have the physical strength, you won't be able to take his turn?"
Immediately there was a question.
Whether it's the momentum shown in the pitcher's mound, or the terrifying level of pitching.
Li Lei didn't show the slightest flaw.
He gives people the impression that he is still aggressive and very aggressive.
It seems to be enough to crush all opponents.
"You still don't understand, Li Lei's level is not just like that. He's definitely more capable than you think, not only in terms of technique, but also in terms of physical strength."
"It's just that he's different from Narumiya. Prior to today's game, the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team had never faced a strong opponent who could pose a threat to them."
"This also means that Narumi Cheng has never played with all his strength, and he has a lot of physical strength. Li Lei is different, he has won the third year of the city college with us one after another, even if someone helps him share it, his energy and physical reserves are very expensive. Even if he didn't get on the pitcher's mound at the beginning of today's game, that doesn't mean his stamina stayed."
The Yakushi High School baseball team is, after all, a grassroots team.
They have too many deficiencies in the team, even the goalkeepers.
In this case, Li Lei must make more efforts to take care of other responsibilities.
Not only does he pitch, but he also works very the defensive. So much so that when Li Lei was a catcher, the consumption of energy and physical strength was actually no less than that of being a pitcher.
"The normal 9 innings are fine, but if they play an extra game, they have no chance of winning."
"Li Lei has already bet on the outcome of the game in these last two games."
The eighth inning, and the ninth inning.
They have to score points no matter what, and only then can they seal the win completely.
"Is it that easy?"
Yukiichi also took a deep look at the rest area of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team.
In the first half of the ninth game, Daocheng Industry will start from the third base.
After that, there are Harada, Narumiya, Yamaoka Riku......
Don't look at the previous ones, they were all played by Li Lei.
So much so that until now, they have not had any decent performance.
But that doesn't mean that the strength of these people is not strong enough, and their threat to Li Lei is not big enough.
The real situation is probably quite the opposite.
Each of these guys will not make Li Lei feel better.
Even if they know in their hearts that once the game drags into the play-offs, their winning rate will be greatly improved.
That also doesn't mean that they didn't think about ending the fight early.
Instead, it's the side of the Yakushi High School baseball team.
Others seem to have two offensive opportunities, but their core hitter has been separated by Inagi Industry.
As a result, it will be very difficult for them to score points.
Naru Narumiya is a monster through and through.
This is not only reflected in his superb pitching skills, but also in his performance as a monster in all aspects.
In terms of physical strength, he has been throwing from the beginning of the game to the present, and he does not look tired at all.
It feels like he can continue to throw, even if it is in the 12th or 15th game.
And this guy, the later in the game, the stronger the pitching becomes.
Just when Yukiichi was thinking this, the white baseball on the pitcher's mound had already been thrown.
"Whoosh!"
With a loud cracking sound, the baseball pierced directly through the good ball belt and smashed steadily into Harada's glove.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
The players of the Yakushi High School baseball team simply didn't have time to react.
But that's not the end of it, it's just the beginning, followed by another ball.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!!"
"Good Ball !!"
"Strikeout!!
Under the stunned gaze of everyone at the scene, the white baseball passed through the good ball belt over and over again, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe at all.
The eighth and ninth baseballs of the Yakushi High School baseball team were knocked out with strikeouts.
"I'll go, what kind of monster is this guy?"
"Even to the next beater, there is no mercy at all."
"Terrible! It's horrible!!"
Two were out, and no one was on base.
It was at this time that the No. 1 batter of the Yakushi High School baseball team stood in the strike zone.
"First baseman, third baseman, Boom City!!"
This is a fierce collision between Mars and the Earth, which naturally attracts everyone's attention.
It's just that the situation of Thunder City is not particularly good, and the current situation is that the two are out, and even if he can get a hit, there is no way to score.
And even if he goes to base, it will be difficult for him to make a difference with the two out.
This is a terrible situation.
But from the body of Thunder City, people can't see any clues.
He didn't seem to care about that at all.
And his eyes were not fixed on his opponent, but at an old bat in the corner of their team's rest area.
On that bat, the word "cash cow" was written.
