Chapter Twenty-Three: Terrifying Cleansheets (2-in-1)
As the game progressed, even the fans in the stands had already sensed that the Cosmos team was afraid that it was no longer able to recover.
"These guys are too terrible!!"
is obviously just a dark horse team, but on the court, it has shown unparalleled control.
This is something that the players of Team Universe, and those fans of Team Universe, never dreamed of before.
It all fell into place.
By the time they realized something was wrong, the game had already reached the point of no return.
The Yakushi High School baseball team leads 3-0.
Even Hiromi, at the last moment, showed unparalleled pitching skills.
Successfully solved the core hitters of the pharmacist high school baseball team, including Li Lei and Bang Lei City.
The progress of the game has not been affected.
The score of 3:0 on the court was enough for the players and supporters of the Yakushi High School baseball team.
The game reached the ninth inning, and it was also the last offensive opportunity for the Cosmos team.
At this time, the Universe Team has completely killed the red eye.
From the superintendent of their family to the players of their family, they all turned into desperate Saburo.
Regardless of the overseer, Superintendent Matsumoto put all the players in the rest area who were unique in striking into the field.
"That guy is just a first-grade kid, don't let him fool him. No matter what means you use, you have to go to base and score...!"
None of the team's supervision is normal, let alone their team's players.
A group of people with red eyes raised their bats high in their hands, like a giant player.
In the final moments of the game, the opponent was the famous Cosmos again, and the situation was the same again.
The players of the Yakushi High School baseball team, almost inevitably, were affected.
They hesitated.
It seems that in the face of such a situation, the little ones are a little overwhelmed.
However, Li Lei on the pitcher's mound reacted differently from everyone at this time.
The more impatient the players of the Cosmos team became, the calmer Li Lei became.
Whether it was the expression on his face or his mood at the moment, it was like a frozen lake.
There is not the slightest ripple or ripple.
He calmly looked at his opponent, even if the Universe team changed to a new hitter, there was no abnormality on Li Lei's face.
All his movements, as if in private, have been rehearsed countless times.
Raised his arms high, then raised his legs, and as the center of gravity of his body shifted, the baseball in his hand also whistled out.
His every move is standard.
It's just that the baseball thrown from his hand seems to have been magical, and the speed is amazing.
Obviously, the game is coming to an end, and Li Lei has already thrown a lot of balls.
According to the ideas of the players of Team Cosmos, or rather according to the thoughts of the vast majority of people on the scene.
At this time, Li Lei should have been exhausted.
He was able to maintain the previous pitching rhythm and was able to maintain the previous pitching power and speed.
It's already very rare.
At this time, he wants to take his entire pitching quality up to another level.
That's almost impossible, and it doesn't fit normal logic.
But that's just the way it is.
All the normal rules have inevitably changed in Li Lei's hands.
He's like, a magical combination.
As long as he was standing on the pitcher's mound, what happened didn't seem so surprising.
White baseball, whizzing.
The hitter who had just been substituted was not prepared at all. By the time he came to his senses, the white baseball had already passed in front of his eyes.
"Okay
Quick!"
The beater only had time to sigh, and he couldn't react at all.
He was just shocked, looking at the ball that had landed in the catcher's glove.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!!"
On the Koshien field, the huge LCD screen clearly shows the speed of the ball.
144 km !!
The fans in the stands, one by one, were incredible, their eyes widened.
Before, they thought that what they had just seen might be their delusion.
Despite what they saw with their own eyes, how could Li Lei pitch faster at this time?
But now, whether they want to accept it or not, I'm afraid this is a reality.
"This monster, his pitching speed, has really gotten faster!"
It's not like Li Lei hasn't shot this ball speed before.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Lei deliberately enhanced his explosiveness when he threw this ball speed before.
Including the momentum and movement of his pitching, it is different from when he usually throws.
But now, Li Lei didn't use that explosive throw.
He was just using his most normal posture to throw the baseball in his hand.
And then there was the scene in front of me.
The white baseball whistled out, penetrating the hitter's line almost in the blink of an eye.
The ball speed also reached a terrifying 144 km/h.
"It's not a delusion, this guy's pitching is really getting faster!"
At this time near the end of the game, Li Lei suddenly made a big move and soared the ball speed to the level of 145.
"It looks like even Lady Luck isn't going to be on the side of Team Cosmos today."
"I'm afraid it's going to be hard to make up for such a huge gap."
Almost everyone, when they saw Li Lei's current ball speed, made a prediction about the result of the game.
They don't want that, either.
But that's really the case, when Li Lei was at the end of the game, when there was only one last game left in the game.
Sudden outbreak!
Even the supervisors and players of Team Cosmos will be dumbfounded.
No matter how much they are bragged about, at the end of the day, they're just a bunch of high school players.
In the face of opponents of the same level, the pride of the Universe team may still turn defeat into victory, and they may also have outstanding performances.
But facing an opponent of Li Lei's level.
They don't seem to be able to do much other than be dumbfounded.
At least the hitter who is standing on the court now is powerless in the face of Li Lei's pitching at this speed.
Li Lei continued to throw the second ball, the third ball.
Despite the fact that he had just switched to the hit zone, he tried his best to get the ball flying.
But in the end, he didn't even touch the ball.
Again and again, the swing of the stick missed, and finally was directly knocked out.
One person is out, no one is on base.
The hitter who was just substituted on the field did nothing on the court and was directly out.
This incident is undoubtedly a very heavy blow to the Space Team.
The overseers in Team Cosmos' rest area, including the players on their team, gasped for breath.
Suddenly, they felt that they were not breathing so well, as if they were stuck by something.
So much so that the whole breathing rhythm is messy.
"Impossible, how can we be able to defeat such a little kid?"
Superintendent Matsumoto rebuked loudly.
Even at this time, the overseer of the Cosmos team was not willing to admit defeat at all.
At this time, he only had a small request.
Score!!
Only by scoring can their team turn around.
"I'll leave it to you, Valley-kun."
The next hitter on the field is the No. 1 substitute of the Universe team, whose name is Valley.
In the space team, the valley is a very strange existence. His defensive strength is not strong, and his overall strength is not outstanding.
But back then, the teacher of the admissions office of the Cosmos team still fell in love with him at a glance.
Despite this fighter, most of his skills are mediocre.
But his blow was completely different.
In the entire middle school era, his strike rate was above 6 percent.
A monster within a monster!
He even scored 11 home runs.
Middle school students are not high school students, and the physical fitness of these two is not a little bit worse.
There is still a huge gap between 15 and 17-year-olds compared to adults.
But their physical fitness is by no means comparable to that of a bunch of thirteen or fourteen-year-old children.
When Valley was a kid, he had already hit 11 home runs.
As the first generation of the team, Valley has also made a lot of contributions before.
In today's game, the two sides bit too tightly, and any mistake may cause the team to be doomed.
Because of this, the Cosmos team has never found a chance to change the hitter.
In fact, now, it's not a very good opportunity.
But Team Cosmos has run out of options.
If they don't choose to fight to the death with their opponents at this time.
Then in the end, I am afraid that they will not even have the opportunity to fight this handful.
Superintendent Matsumoto is well aware of this.
So at this time, he did not hesitate to send the valley to the field.
Seeing the valley on the court, the players and supporters of the Cosmos team obviously have more expectations.
"Let's get out!"
"That guy ......"
These supporters of the Universe Team really want to belittle Li Lei and elevate their players at this time.
But before the words could be spoken, they closed their mouths.
The game is coming to an end, and the Yakushi High School baseball team is getting closer and closer to winning the game......
Regardless of how the players and supporters of Team Cosmos thought of this dark horse opponent before.
At this time, they had no choice, and with a clear conscience, they said that the baseball team of Yakushi High School was not strong.
There is no way to say that the ace pitcher of the pharmacist high school baseball team is nothing.
If that's really the case, then what is their Cosmos team?
The game has been played so far, and the score on the field is 3:0.
Not only is there not much difference in the scores between the two sides, but the most important thing is that they are not the leading side yet.
At this time, belittling the pharmacist and Li Lei not only failed to belittle the opponent, but could only make people laugh at them, and there was no measure in their hearts.
Nevertheless.
Although they have no way to say it.
But those players and supporters of the Cosmos team are still full of expectations for the performance of the valley.
As for the reason for this expectation?
The players of the Cosmos team can't be said for a while.
But they are looking forward to it, looking forward to seeing a different scene, looking forward to seeing a different result.
It was at this time that Li Lei threw a ball without distraction.
Almost everyone agrees that Li Lei may not know that much about the new players.
After all, this one called Valley is just a substitute for the Universe team, not the main member of their team.
But in reality, it's the opposite.
As the strongest substitute of the Universe Team, how could Li Lei not understand?
in the game
Previously, Li Lei had studied the information and intelligence of this opponent in detail.
Not to mention, when they were in the national youth team, they also played against each other.
Despite being just a practice match.
Li Lei's impression of this beater is also quite profound.
In fact, in the current cosmic team, Li Lei can at least call four or five names.
Of course, this is not because he deliberately investigated the opponent's intelligence before the game.
Li Lei had done the same before, but he could remember these names more because he had fought before.
As the object of Li Lei's battle, Li Lei was extremely impressed by him.
As for how to solve this opponent, Li Lei also had a plan.
I saw him pull out of the frame and throw the baseball in his hand very decisively.
The valley did not wait.
He is also familiar with Li Lei, and he understands very well that waiting in the strike zone and entangled with Li Lei.
It will be difficult to hit Li Lei's pitch out.
Li Lei is a layoutman, and the more you let him pitch, the more powerful his layout will be.
Once all the layouts fell into the rhythm of Li Lei.
Then the hitter is not far from being out.
Gu Gu, who understood this very well, didn't wait at all, he used the swing stick he had honed for many years and used it directly.
"Ping!"
The white baseball was swept away and flew high.
"It's hit!"
The players of the Cosmos team and the melon-eating crowd in the stands were still thrilled when they saw this scene.
But soon, they found themselves unexcited.
Because then, they were very surprised to see that the white baseball actually flew in the direction of first base.
Mishima has long been ready for battle.
He raised the glove in his hand and effortlessly slipped the baseball into his glove.
"Smack!"
"Out!!"
This process was so fast that many players of the Cosmos team did not react.
By the time they reacted, there were already two players out on the field, and no one was on base.
The Yakushi High School baseball team is only one last game away from winning today's game.
And today, they are not suffering defeat in the ordinary sense of the word.
It's an unprecedented, huge Waterloo.
The man who brought them all this was the ace pitcher of the pharmacist high school baseball team, a first-year rookie.
Li lei!
Not to mention Matsumoto, the superintendent of the Universe Team, even many fans in the stands were dumbfounded.
Even from their point of view, it is difficult for them to accept this in their hearts.
"How can you be so embarrassed?"
"Is this going to lose?"
The players of the Cosmos team are very reluctant to accept this.
But in fact, it is getting closer and closer to their clean sheet.
