King's Green Road

Chapter 122 Part122 Finals Emergency Appearance

Looking at Director Kataoka who was walking back, Minister Ota's mind came up with the arrangements for the match between Fubuya and Tanba before the game.

So he asked with some concern:
"Dan...Tanba, he...is it okay? Supervisor...Supervisor."

Looking at Supervisor Kataoka's expression, he couldn't help becoming nervous.

Regarding this, Supervisor Kataoka remained silent.

At this moment, he couldn't say anything against his will.

"Sakai, Haruichi, go warm up immediately!"

Both Sakai/Haruichi were suddenly taken aback by the supervisor's words, but they responded immediately:

"Yes Yes!"

"Kododa, go tell Kawakami in the cowshed to get ready, and... Sawamura, go warm up again and get ready!"

Immediately, Director Kataoka ordered Kadoka to pass the message.

Kadoda: "Yes, Supervisor!"

Then he ran away.

Rong Chun was taken aback by this arrangement. After opening his mouth a few times, when he saw the pain in the supervisor's eyes, he strengthened his mind: "Yes!"

Then he pulled the brim of his hat, stepped out of the rest area firmly, and walked towards the bullpen.

Haruichi, who was warming up by swinging in the open space, couldn't help being stunned when he saw Eijun walking towards the bullpen to warm up, and he clenched the bat even more tightly.

Broadcast: [The second half of the seventh inning continues. Carl Ross, who hit a hit, climbed to the second base with a sacrifice hit by his teammates. Now there is one out, and there is someone on the second base. Next is Daocheng's turn to clear the base Wire--】

[Third bat, third baseman Yoshizawa! 】

"Energetic!"

"Come on, Tanba!"

Looking at Tanba standing on the mound and continuing to pitch, Hirakawa also made me yell passionately at this time.

"let's go!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Let him fight! Tanba!"

"Okay, no problem!"

The infielders around Danbo were also extremely excited at this time, shouting to support the injured ace.

"Game start!"

"Bad ball!"

……

When the ball count reached one strike and two strikes, Tamba's gaze towards Yoshizawa on the strike zone became more and more determined.

I can't...I can't be subbed at this time...and cause trouble for the team!

"Snapped!"

"2 strike!"

"..."

"Okay, Tanba-senpai!"

"Pretty!"

"Come on!"

Amidst the support of the audience in the stands Qingdao, Tanba made another throwing action.

Throws his fifth pitch.

"call out!"

I...I'm...I'm the ace pitcher of this team—!
"Snapped!"

"3 strikes—!"

"strike out!"

Relying on his strong willpower that broke out at this moment, Danbo struck out Daocheng's third bat Yoshizawa.

"Ohhh!"

"Do you see it--"

"Two outs!"

"Good shot! Danbo!"

"Danbo!"

Danbo, who performed bravely for this moment in the stands, sent the greatest solidarity and encouragement.

Cheng Gongming, who was equipped with striking equipment, could not help but change his view of Senior Tanba at the moment when he was squatting in the waiting area.

I really didn't expect Tanba-senpai to be so difficult at this moment——

He really never thought he was such a good pitcher...

but--

Tanba-senpai has reached his limit... Let's kill him, Aya-senpai—!
The corner of his mouth was slightly hooked, and he looked at the strong figure on the strike zone with trusting eyes.

Broadcast: [Fourth bat, catcher Harada! 】

"Game start!"

Miyuki gave the first signal.

"call--"

After Danbo let out a breath, he gave a warning to Carlos, who had left the base sharply, and then turned around and threw the ball in his hand.

"call out!"

He wants to stop their attack... to stop them——!
"Chong!"

Facing the ball, Harada saw the opportunity without hesitation and swung his bat.

The kicked baseball flew high and fast across the infield range and into the outfield.

Danbo on the mound also opened his eyes in shock at this moment, why? !

At the same time, Masakor Harada threw away his bat and started to run.

It's just a pity that...

"boom!"

"Fouls!"

The baseball hit the netting outside left field and fell to the ground.

"what--"

"Huh, it's dangerous!"

"what a pity!"

Daocheng's side felt extremely regretful when the words of the line trial fell, but Qingdao's side was very happy.

Tsk~
The arc of change is not as great as initially imagined, so it becomes too early to hit the ball.

Harada could only run halfway through the bases and returned to the strike zone. Karl Ross also returned to the second base immediately.

Danbo on the mound couldn't help but staggered when all the dust settled.

"Danba learning..."

Seeing this scene, Miyuki couldn't help shouting anxiously, wanting to apply for timeout again.

Just as soon as he opened his mouth, Danbo reached out to stop this behavior.

It was just that I squatted on the mound for a while, and stood up strong again.

This time Danba once again caused commotion in the Qingdao audience and rest area.

Qingdao stand: "Danbo..."

Minister Ota in the rest area couldn't help worrying too:
"Supervisor, supervisor, he has already..."

It's just that at this moment, Supervisor Kataoka just watched the court silently.

I met Miyuki who was at the home plate and asked about the next arrangement.

Miyuki also understood what he was going to do next.

Come on, Tanba-senpai!
I'll catch every pitch you throw.

It's just that after three consecutive shots, Danbo hit the strike zone greatly, and he was only one ball short of walking Harada.

In the end, Miyuki gritted his teeth when he thought about the next arrangement, and made a bold decision.

He moved his body far out, stopped in the outer corner, and finally put the glove in the high bad ball zone of the outer corner.

Danbo looked shocked, but he still didn't say anything against it.

He just squeezed the baseball in his hand, he had a hunch that this might be...

"call out!"

"Snapped"

"Bad ball!"

"Four bad guys are guaranteed!"

Broadcast: [The last ball deviated greatly from the outside corner strike zone again, and turned into a four-bad walk!
Could it be that Qingdao is planning to avoid the duel with the Daocheng four sticks and choose to have a showdown with the fifth stick Cheng Gong? 】

At this time, the voice of the commentary also came from the radio.

[Fifth bat, the pitcher becomes a palace! 】

Cheng Gongming carried the bat with a smile on his face, and walked up to the strike zone, "Oh...does it mean that he thinks he can compete with me, Kazuya?"

Yuxing glanced at Cheng Gongming, ignored him, and instead turned his head to signal to the chief referee:
"Pause, please."

At the same time, in the Qingdao rest area.

Supervisor Kataoka also appeared at the entrance of the rest area.

Knew it……

Danbo couldn't help but darken his eyes, his throwing power was not as good as before, and he couldn't even hit the strike zone.

It's normal to be replaced, but it's true to be unwilling to be replaced at this time...

The stands on the court were also full of discussions.

"Are you going to change the pitcher?"

"Seodo has finally given up on the ace pitcher?"

"There's nothing he can do about it!"

"But...you can no longer lose points."

"If the switch fails..."

"Will the reliever Kawakami be replaced?"

"Or it's the falling valley..."

Just as everyone was discussing whether to switch votes and who the candidate would be, a figure ran out from the bullpen with the number "No. 7" on his back.

Broadcast: [In the second half of the seventh inning, Qingdao High School changed players, and Tanba took the eighth bat to rest. 】

[The pitcher is replaced by Sawamura! 】

[Eighth bat, pitcher Sawamura! 】

"A...first-year pitcher? True or false?!"

Qingdao's own audience were all surprised.

"Rong...Rong Chun——!"

"Your strength is not enough, go back quickly!"

Grandpa Sawamura in the Daocheng stands couldn't help shouting at this time.

What is grandpa talking about? !It's embarrassing, it's really nerve-wracking...

Rong Chun, who ran to the field, just heard his grandfather's angry shout, and couldn't help staggering, his cheeks flushed slightly in embarrassment.

"Old... Dad, what are you talking about?! Stop talking..."

Sawamura's father felt super ashamed at this moment, and the audience all around looked over.

And the son finally played, let alone cheering, why is he still pulling his hips like this.

I really convinced my old man.

Wakana on the side also helped Sawamura's father to appease Sawamura's grandfather, "Grandpa, Xiaorong's supervision let him play, which proves that he has this ability."

"Really?!" Grandpa Sawamura was a little skeptical, but he remained quiet.

Wakana and Sawamura's father nodded desperately, as long as they don't yell and embarrass themselves.

……

"At this time, it's okay to switch to a first-year left-hander?!"

"Could it be a one-man left-hander just to deal with Cheng Gongming?"

"Going on stage at this time, I really don't know whether to say Qingdao is bold or no one is available."

Listening to the discussion in his ears, Yang Shunchen remained silent. At this moment, all the contestants in Mingchuan were closely watching the freshman who came on the field.

If you underestimate him as only a first grader, you will really suffer a lot.

"Have I been seen all over? Have I been seen all over?" Cheng Gongming also angrily sought the approval of his teammates behind him at this time.

"Danbo didn't even last three rounds."

The city's third-highest players, who watched the live broadcast of the game, couldn't help saying regretfully when they saw Danbo's end at this time.

It must be very reconciled to be replaced at this time, Koichiro.

At this time, Zhenzhong felt the same way as Tanba.

At this moment on the court, looking at the junior coming towards him, Danbo took the initiative to put the ball into his glove.

"Sawamura, you will be the ace pitcher next, so try your best to pitch!"

However, his hand was still tightly holding the small white ball, and then trembling, he let go of the tightly clenched hand.

Seeing Tanba's senior's encouraging eyes, Eijun tightly clenched the baseball that carried everything with his left hand.

Senior Tanba...

At this moment, looking at Tanba who then turned and left, Eijun opened his mouth and was about to say something.

Another voice stopped him first.

"Danbo!"

Danbo turned his head, startled.

"Tanba, we're not going to let the game just end. Once again... we'll give you another chance to play."

I saw Yuki's solemn expression and said very reassuring words to Tanba.

The corners of Danba's mouth hooked slightly, what a reassuring speech!
Then he returned to the rest area in relief.

Let Tanba-senpai throw the ball again, really reliable speech and reliable seniors, he will try his best to be the first line of defense.

Thinking of this, Rongchun was also very excited.

The only ones who will get into Koshien are... they Qingdao High School.
