Chapter 66: Impeccable to Perfection! (2-in-1)
This is the Koshien stadium in summer, and the temperature of the stadium has risen to 32 degrees.
The two sides that are playing are the Super Dark Horse Yakushi High School baseball team, and their opponents, the Trolls Otomaki High School baseball team.
The game has come to the sixth inning, and the troll Otomaki High School baseball team is attacking.
The situation on the field, one person is out, no one is on base.
The score was 1:0.
In the stands, the supporters of the troll Oshimaki High School baseball team breathed differently.
Their eyes were even more fixed on the court, unwilling to let go of any detail.
The troll Otomaki High School baseball team, the eighth batter Masamune Hongo, gritted his teeth and raised the bat in his hand.
When the sun is scorching, even when the wind blows, there are heat waves.
The sweat on the foreheads of the players in the rest area has not stopped.
Not to mention the players who are playing on the field.
The scorching heat accelerated the consumption of Hongo's Masamune physical strength, but now, he couldn't care about it at all.
His eyes, his attention, all of his all, were all focused on the pitcher, the player named Lee Lei.
Come on!
I don't believe you're invincible.
The supporters in the stands were all nervous.
Don't say, the commentators never stopped, giving them an analysis of the game.
Even if there is no commentator, the fans in the stands can clearly feel how tense the atmosphere is now.
The time left for them, the opportunity left for them.
It's not much left......
Just when this thought came to everyone's minds, the showdown on the court began.
Li Lei was calm and relaxed, and threw the baseball in his hand.
By the time the game had been played, he was supposedly very tired.
But from his pitching, people don't see the slightest clue.
"It's now!"
Seeing the white baseball flying, Hongo Masamune, who gritted his teeth, decisively waved the bat in his hand fiercely.
He wanted to get the ball flying, he wanted to get a hit.
But how can things be so simple?
Even if he used all his strength, he could only make sure that his bat touched the ball.
"Ping!"
After the baseball was hit, it flew straight into the air.
Supposedly, this is a good phenomenon, at least Hongo Masamune, there is a chance to win a hit.
But none of the fans in the stands spoke.
On the contrary, their child's holes widened all at once.
This is, the first goal, right?
Just as this thought came to their minds, the baseball flew into the air and fell rapidly.
Mishima, who was on first base, almost effortlessly picked up the ball into his glove.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
Two were out, and no one was on base.
In the rest area of the troll Otomaki High School baseball team, Superintendent Nitta clenched his fists in anger.
"This idiot!"
So far, he has not achieved anything and the team is one point behind.
Hongo Masamune, inevitably, a little anxious.
However, when he is in a hurry, he will inevitably make mistakes.
Just like now, he could have entangled Li Lei for three or four goals, but now, the two were only entangled for one goal, and he was cleanly solved by the other party.
The whole process, without the slightest mud and water.
This makes the Xintian superintendent, how can he not be angry?
"Are you an idiot? Didn't you tell you to wait for three balls? That guy won't show you a flaw at all, and our only chance is to knock him out. ”
The strategy of the Troll Otomaki High School baseball team is undoubtedly the safest, and it also has a very high success rate.
As long as they follow the execution, Li Lei has a high probability and will not be able to throw until the end of the game.
The reason why he was able to shoot the whole field before.
In addition to his own physical strength, it also has a lot to do with his magic ball.
Although his magic ball requires more mental energy, it only takes one or two goals to solve the opponent.
This will undoubtedly save Li Lei a lot of physical strength.
Today's game was different.
At the beginning of the game, Li Lei directly squeezed his physical strength in order to take the lead.
And his squeezing has great side effects.
The rate of loss of his physical strength was much faster than usual.
Coupled with the strategy of the troll Otomaki High School baseball team, it stands to reason that Li Lei should not be able to survive.
But strangely, Li Lei's pitching seems to have some kind of magic.
Even if they have already set a strategy and are determined to execute it. But when the players saw Li Lei pitching, they would still react subconsciously.
Li Lei's position to throw the ball is really too comfortable for them.
Watching such a ball fly in front of their eyes, they were indifferent.
It's simply not realistic!
In the troll Otomaki High School baseball team, there are not only Hongo Masamune, there are several players, all of whom fell into Li Lei's trap because they couldn't hold back their desire to swing the bat.
And that's what it is.
The game has reached the sixth inning, and it is already coming to an end......
The troll Otomaki High School baseball team still didn't drag Li Lei down.
And the rhythm of his pitching is getting better and better.
So much so that now, not to mention those die-hard fans of the Yakushi High School baseball team.
Even the players and supporters of the Troll Otomaki High School baseball team did not dare to guarantee that they would be able to completely drag down Li Lei before the game was over.
This guy is so wicked!
From beginning to end, they were not given any loopholes, nor were they flawed.
"Impeccable to perfection!
”
Fujio, a veteran reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine, is a professional who resonates very much with the players of the troll Otsumaki High School baseball team.
After watching Li Lei's performance, he especially saw Li Lei gradually grasp the rhythm of the whole game.
In his heart, such an idea also germinated.
Lei Lei's pitching was perfect!
It can even be said that his pitching has been perfect to the point of being impeccable.
"What a horrible little fellow, if you give him some more time, who knows how far he'll be able to grow?"
This question can't even be thought about.
Even Fujifu, after thinking deeply about this problem, he was shocked into a cold sweat.
If there really is such a pitcher on the high school court.
That's horrible!
The ninth stick lotus division also played at this time.
How embarrassed is his partner?
Renji saw it with his own eyes.
He also knew in his heart that time and opportunity were running out for them.
"This guy is a complete devil, and he can't be allowed to go on like this no matter what."
Li Lei is so smooth, almost to the point that there is no solution.
In this case, if Li Lei still has a firm grasp of the rhythm.
Then they don't have to continue to mix, just raise the white flag and surrender.
And if they don't want this, then they have to disrupt Li Lei's current rhythm.
"Wait! If you don't have a good chance, you must dwell on three or four goals. ”
Just when this thought popped into Renji's heart.
"Hugh!"
A white baseball whistling in.
In Rinji's experience, this ball is a standard straight ball.
There are no special changes.
And the position of the pitch is just the center of the good ball belt.
The location is simply wonderful.
As long as the player's swing is strong enough, in such a position, even if they don't hit the center of the ball, they can definitely take the ball out.
If you're lucky, you might even get a home run.
The most important reason why the Troll Otomaki High School baseball team is so passive now is that they are one point behind.
Other than that, Hongo's performance was perfect.
Although in the first round of the matchup, he lost a point. But wait until the second round of matchups, which is the second half of the fourth game.
He solved Li Lei, Mishima and Thunder City one after another.
Except for Thunder City, who took the outfield and flew high, the remaining two people were all knocked out by strikeouts.
This kind of performance is not necessarily much worse than Li Lei.
There were a lot of fans in the stands, and they had completely changed their attitude.
They sincerely believe that Masamune Hongo is also a very good pitcher, and even better than Li Lei in some ways.
From this point of view, the gap between the two teams has basically been flattened.
The only thing they lack now is that point.
As long as they can get a point, it really only needs a point.
They were able to tie the score.
And once they tie the score, a lot of problems will be solved.
Not to mention anything else, they can completely drag it out to the playoffs with the pharmacist high school baseball team.
No matter how outstanding Li Lei's physical strength is.
There's no way he's going to make it to the extra game!
The Troll Otomaki High School baseball team's excellent pitcher has never been the only one in Hongo.
The longer the game, the better it will be for them.
Under this premise, this temptation is simply the forbidden fruit of Yin Dianyuan.
Renji desperately tried to restrain himself, but he couldn't restrain it at all.
Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again!
Such an opportunity, once he lets it go, then in this life, he will not forgive himself.
If he loses the game, he will also blame himself, why didn't he fight in the first place?
Perhaps, after he fights, everything will be different.
When this thought began to sprout in my heart.
Renji let go of his own imprisonment.
He didn't plan to limit himself anymore, but went all out, swinging the bat in his hand.
"Fly!"
The bat in his hand roared out.
At this moment, Lianji also used all his strength to breastfeed.
The players of the troll Otomaki High School baseball team have never lacked the courage to fight to the death.
Especially when they are cornered by their opponents, they are often able to burst out with amazing fighting spirit.
It was as if right now, Renji had definitely burst out with 120% of the power in his body.
"Again?"
Troll Otomaki High School baseball team in the rest area.
Inspector Xintian's face is as ugly as it is.
He had just criticized Masamune Hongo before.
Originally, I thought that it was Renji who came on the field, and the result would be different.
But he was wrong, quite outrageously wrong.
Even if they are always very steady catchers, in the face of Li Lei's pitching, they can't resist the temptation at all.
The position where the baseball is thrown, and where the baseball lands, is so tempting.
If he didn't fight, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
It's now, it's now......
"Ping!"
The baseball that is hit, flies high on the field, and then lands vertically.
All of this is as if someone has arranged it in advance.
Li Lei raised his gloves high.
He didn't even move a single step, he just waited there.
Waiting for the baseball, fell into his glove.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
Three people are out, and the offense and defense are exchanged.
In the bottom half of the sixth inning, it was the turn of the Yakushi High School baseball team to attack.
It's their under-the-top hitters who play.
But at this time, not many people pay attention to the matchup on the court.
Tens of thousands of fans in the stands, including those watching the game via television and online media.
They all coincidentally set their eyes on Li Lei.
In their eyes, Li Lei was covered in the body, as if he was glowing.
"In six innings, not a single hit, not a single point. It's amazing! ”
"This guy's pitching is a work of art!"
People's praise for Li Lei seems to be exaggerated, and it is not too much.
Their hearts are like mirrors.
Li Lei is even more perfect than they boasted.
The weaknesses of the defense of the Yakushi High School baseball team can be seen as long as you are not blind.
Even now, the defensive level of the Yakushi High School baseball team has improved a lot.
But compared with the top giants in the country they are fighting against, their little defensive power is still not enough.
】
It stands to reason.
The pharmacist high school baseball team has all played here, and those top giants in the country who are working against them should work hard and seize their weaknesses to crit.
In fact.
Whether it's at the time of the regional tournament or at the Koshien venue.
The pharmacist high school baseball team, all the opponents they encountered, all did the same.
But the end result?
Go without saying.
If these teams succeed in the end, it will not be the Yakushi High School baseball team that will reach the quarterfinals of Koshien, but them.
The Pharmacist High School baseball team all survived.
And the biggest reason why they were able to survive is the most fundamental reason.
Or because of their trump card, the near-perfect and impeccable Li Lei.
The score on the field was still 1:0.
The Troll Oshimaki High School baseball team has only lost one home run so far.
However, everyone at the scene felt.
I'm afraid they're running out of donkey skills.
No matter how hard the troll Otomaki High School baseball team players try, I'm afraid they can't be recovered.
This is Li Lei, the despair he brings to his opponent.
Before you know it, the game came to the seventh inning, and neither side scored a hit in the sixth inning.
At the beginning of the 7th inning, Li Lei once again showed desperate pitching skills.
He struck three strikeouts in quick succession, and then let the third hitter hit the Uchino High Fly.
"Smack!"
Another three-out game, switching offense and defense.
The difference is that in the second half of the seventh inning, it was time for the Yakushi High School baseball team to attack.
It was their turn to be the core hitter, and for the third time, they stood in the strike zone.
"Second bat, pitcher, Li Lei!"
