King's Green Road

Chapter 277 Part276 Lucky Boy——Eijun 【Six in One】

Eijun's batting ability can be said to be nothing to say in the short game. He is an absolute top short player, but he still lacks absolute strength in the long game. It is a loss to be able to hit the long game and even the home run. his arm strength.

Although the softness of the body really endows Eijun with excellent pitching talent, but at the same time it really limits his grip for long hits. If it is not for his excellent dynamic vision, which makes up for it a little bit, it is really difficult to improve. of.

"Start pitching!"

Because of his excellent dynamic vision, before being chased, Eijun lightly let go of all the difficult shots that were all over the strike zone in Eijun's eyes.

The main reason is to listen to Miyuki Kazuya's words, not to waste excess energy on unnecessary swings.

Then something amazing happened.

"Snapped"

"A bad ball!!"

"Snapped"

"Two balls!!"

After the two balls at home plate, Asakura couldn't help but change his determined expression. He thought that according to the data, although this first-year striker was a bit good, he didn't expect to pick the ball so decisively.

It is the presiding judge's preference to do unexpected things.

He didn't expect that two goals would be judged as strikes in most cases, but they would all be judged as balls by this referee. This was the most unexpected thing.

This kind of objective reason makes him a little passive in serving the ball!
Especially when he played a bad ball for the next ball, he didn't feel so good!

"call out"

It was too late to say it, and the baseball was also thrown from the hands of Asanuma Shintaro in response to Asakura's inner slander.

Eijun's eyes flickered for a moment. To be honest, the reason why he didn't swing the bat just now was not because he deviated from the strike zone, but because he was not very good at hitting these two shots. Qiulu was too low. I didn't expect the referee to judge Bad ball, what a surprise.

And this ball, in Eijun's eyes, is also a low ball. The low position of the inner corner is almost the same as the previous two balls.

With a hard heart, he still chose not to swing the bat.

Asakura originally hoped that Eijun in the strike zone would be able to swing the club, but he didn't, and Asakura knew that this guy had guessed and even boldly practiced the accuracy of his judgment.

Damn, it's really difficult.

"Snapped"

"Three balls!"

Damn, I don't even give a little luck, did the referee make a mistake!It turns out that such a ball is judged as a bad ball, and the eyes are really fine, right? !

Asakura's face was extremely dark, and he was annoyed by the referee.

On the pitcher's mound, Shintaro Asanuma also twisted his face slightly. As a pitcher, he naturally understood that each of these pitches definitely did not exceed the strike zone, but...but what the hell is this referee? ! !
Third base side Hanamaki east rest area.

It's really unexpected. In this way, you can't shoot too many low balls in terms of the number of good shots and offensiveness.

Supervisor Fujita looked serious, frowned and thought to himself.

It can only be said that this is an equal restriction on both sides. Compared with Qingdao at that time, they had the highest probability of using low balls. On the contrary, if you really want to say, they will lose the most.

Today's game will have a referee who doesn't like low balls.

It's really lucky, as expected, the referee doesn't like low balls, it seems that he should pay attention when they are on defense.

From others to himself, Eijun also quickly thought that they would also encounter such a problem, and had already considered it first.

But in this case, Hanamakihito should only choose a higher ball, even if he plays a low ball, it can only be in a more favorable situation.

Asakura eye took advantage of it and decided to match the next shot with this shot.

- Straight ball is the third speed ball.

Then the ball was thrown with the approval of Shintaro Asanuma.

"call out"

When the ball was thrown, Asakura was actually very satisfied, whether it was the momentum, the way or the speed of the ball, he was very good. He could score a good ball this time no matter what he wanted!After all, this is the first time this guy has seen this kind of ball.

It's just that the next moment he saw a baseball bat that he didn't want to appear at this moment, appearing in front of his eyes, and then quickly passed by.

"bang"

That sound really struck Asakura's heart.

"call out"

At the same time, a white light flew out like this, and flew towards the vast sky in the outfield, like a free bird.

"Left field—!"

Correspondingly, catcher Asakura at home plate yelled in panic.

The blow this time was really beyond Asakura's expectations, and this unexpected blow, depending on the location of the hit, no matter in terms of their Hanamaki East fielder's defensive ability or position, it doesn't look very good. ah!

The ball was neither slow nor fast, and when the general flew out of the field, there was an obvious feeling of falling, but I don't know whether it was Eijun's luck or Hanamaki's unlucky luck, this ball actually landed exceptionally clever.

"boom"

Hanamakihito's left fielder, third baseman, and shortstop were all a little bit away from the ball, and they were even a little restrained for fear of colliding with teammates, so the result is self-evident.

The moment the ball hit the ground, Yuuki on second base was also moved by the wind, and quickly ran to third base before the baseball was dealt with.

At the moment, the instructor Fumiya Kusuki, who was tired from running at third base, took a look at Hanamakihito's processing speed, and after glancing at the movement in the infield, he also saw that catcher Asakura was also focused on the outfield at the moment.

With a heartbeat, he waved his hand and typed the signal to continue!
It's a gamble to change a bicycle into a motorcycle. In Nanmu's view, the success rate is at least [-]% with Azhe's footsteps. Although if it is changed to Kuramochi, the success rate is at least [-]%, but Yuuki is like this. The success rate is also worth taking a risk, so he gave the order so decisively.

And Yuuki, who just ran to third base, also saw Nanmu's instructions. Although he was a little surprised, the sense of trust that he believed in the judgment of his team members at that time made him continue to charge forward without any hesitation. Raise the speed to his greatest limit, increasing the possibility of hitting the base.

"Snapped!!"

"pat-"

"Safe on base!"

In less than a minute, the baseball was picked up by Hanamakito's shortstop Kenji Eda under the tacit negotiation of Hanamakito in a short period of time, only to find that Seimichi had boldly rushed home with this ball.

Jiang Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little annoyed that Qingdao underestimated them. He was not satisfied with running to third base, and wanted to rush to home plate to score.

But it was a pity that the pitch was still one step late. Yuuki hit the base 0.1 seconds faster at the moment the baseball entered the catcher Asakura's glove.

[The seventh pitcher Sawamura, after picking three bad balls, cleverly hit the change ball of the ace Asanuma, which coincidentally landed in the three-way zone, and scored a point first, Aomichi High school, get ahead! 】

"Good job, Sawamura!"

"It's a great fight! Hahahaha!!"

"You got the sweetness first, so we seniors didn't show up. Next time, remember to leave the opportunity to the seniors! Hahaha!"

"Well done! Eijun!"

This round was won first, which also made Qingdao's supporters and the rest area very happy and excited, and they all spoke out in support.

"This guy... is really disobedient!"

Miyuki looked at Eijun who was smiling brightly, took advantage of Hanamakihito to deal with Yuuki, ran to second base for an opportunity, and excitedly raised his fists high, Eijun said helplessly.

"This guy is like this. He should still know how to measure, but I also hope that he can do his best to reduce the pressure on Jiang Gu, who is cast as soon as possible before he leaves the field. After all, Jiang Gu has never really played as a relay. However, they usually start. Although Jiang Gu himself thinks that starting or relaying is fine, as long as he can throw the ball, but if he doesn't score or even is at a disadvantage, it is impossible for Jiang Gu to go on the field to follow up, no matter how big his heart is. Don't worry about it, Rongchun doesn't care about bickering with Jianggu sometimes, and refuses to give in to each other, but when it comes to the critical moment, he still cares very much, and even knows how to take care of this little friend Jianggu."

Chris smiled when he heard Miyuki's words.

My child is so good, it really makes people feel sweet distress, not to mention a few words, I feel uncomfortable.

Miyuki: "..." Shocked.jpg
Miyuki also noticed Chris's expression, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching. What kind of tricks did Sawamura give Senior Chris? He respected and learned from Senior Chris so much. On the other hand, how did this guy do it? Senior Chris specially assigned a training plan to that guy Sawamura!No one really has to throw it away.

It really makes people feel envious and jealous.

This guy Sawamura pretends to be obedient, and almost no one in the team except himself thinks that this guy is actually as vicious as himself, and he really knows how to behave. Thinking about himself, it is really a stark contrast. A well-behaved junior who everyone likes very much, and a poisonous talent who is hated by almost the whole team.

At this moment in the stands, a certain coach who is about to join Qingdao stroked the little beard on his chin and murmured:

"As a future ace pitcher, although it is unlikely to be able to hit double aces due to physical limitations, it is now enough to stand on the mound. As long as you spend time honing your physical fitness and pitching, you will be able to do so. It is very possible to be the top pitcher in Japan in three years of high school."

He also watched several Qingdao matches in a row, and he naturally discovered the clues, and he also saw Eijun's exhaustion in the double match. Seeing Eijun's offensive performance on the field, he naturally guessed that Qingdao might be very early. The pitcher was about to be changed. After all, according to the mind of the passionate supervisor of Seidou, it was impossible for him to make the decision to let Eijun Sawamura pitch the whole game with fatigue.

But at this moment, his eyes are still full of satisfaction.

One of the reasons why he is willing to join Qingdao High School is of course the high salary and sincere invitation given by Qingdao High School. The most important reason is that the current players in Qingdao High School are very talented except for the third graders. Especially Sawamura and Furutani, who are double-throwers, made him want to train them himself.

As a coach with a reputation, the opportunity to develop talented pitchers who may even climb to the top position in Japan is of course very willing.

Although Tetsushin Kataoka was still the supervisor of Seidou, he was a little hesitant to invite him as a coach, but he succumbed to these two reasons and signed the entry contract.

Compared to the joy and cheers of his opponent, Hanamaki was not very happy.

To be honest, no matter how far or close the strike position is, there would be no such coincidence, let alone scoring points.

"Damn!! Damn guy, he can even hit a Texas hit, he is really lucky!"

Asakura gritted his teeth and cast a bitter glance at Eijun who was smiling brightly on the second base. Although the timing of his swing was unexpected, he managed to hit such a clever hit with just barely keeping up with the blow.

And the referee's dislike of low balls.

If you want to be as depressed as you want, you can be as depressed as you want. It is really unreasonable to meet such luck in a baseball game. It is like a match between the weak European emperor and the capable African chief. But Ouhuang had better luck, so the balance of victory in the game belonged to Ouhuang.

Uh——, I made a mistake, I didn't expect Qingdao, a first-year kid, to be lucky!But it's only one point, they can still afford to lose, and they will always find a chance to get the points back, first of all, they must stabilize the players.

Hanamaki East's supervisor stroked his chin and thought.

It doesn't matter if it's just one run, now there are two outs, but there are people on the second base, and the most important thing is to calm down and get the last out.

Very decisive and concise instructions were given.

Asakura nodded, expressing his understanding, then took a deep breath to calm himself down, don't get so angry that he loses the thinking ability to control the situation because of the momentary good luck, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Immediately after he calmed down, he passed the supervisor's instructions to the other teammates one by one, and Hanamakidong's team members also understood.

As a pitcher, Asanuma, who felt the most uncomfortable, also understood that the loss this time was really luck, and quickly adjusted his state.

[Eighth bat, left fielder, Kadoda! 】

"Start pitching!"

In the semi-finals, he was trusted by the supervisor to start. Kadoda really wanted to perform better. In addition, he was hit hard just now. He thought the chance was still great, but Hanamaki Dong didn't give it a chance at all. he.

Getting kicked out by Yuuki is not as good as his strength, and getting kicked out by Eijun is luck. If he wants to win him in the first round, Kadoda's strength is still not enough.

So the results speak for themselves.

"call out"

"Snapped"

"A strike!"

[After being scored, Hanamaki Higashi's ace Asanuma is still strong, and the high and tricky straight ball in the inner corner makes it difficult for the hitter to hit the bat easily, and takes the lead in scoring a strike! ! 】

"call out"

"bang"

"boom"

"Snapped"

"Out!"

[The second ball, Hanamaki Higashi Ace's high outside corner straight ball changeup unexpectedly appeared, caught Seido High School's eighth bat Kadada by surprise and hit an infield high fly, and was relieved by third baseman Caizu Kazuo's light jump Received the kill and successfully won the third number of outs. 】

"Three outs, switch offense and defense!"

The first half of the second game ended like this. Hanamakihito stopped the loss in time, which stopped Qingdao High School's score. However, Qingdao High School was quite satisfied. After all, they still had the advantage in the first game and took the lead. One point.

After the offensive and defensive exchange, back to the rest area, Eijun, the hero who scored a point for Qingdao High School, was also "loved" by the seniors.

Not only did the pitching make them feel at ease, but the batting was also very good. They were the seniors who scored a hit first. Naturally, we should show our "senior love" and give them some chances!
Just concentrate on pitching, don't pay too much attention to hitting!

After all, Eijun played and pitched continuously, and they had heard a little about the exhaustion of the defense, so they naturally wanted to reduce Eijun's exhaustion as much as possible.

What's more, this summer is the last battlefield of their high school. There is no reason to let the first-year juniors charge for them and sacrifice their dedication. They can't lose to the juniors, and they have to show the best performance.

"You're playing well! You're also actively running to second base, and you really didn't take my words seriously, but don't forget that your job is to be a pitcher! Sawamura."

Although Miyuki had complained about it just now, but at this moment, he did not forget to remind the disobedient Eijun again in person. This guy didn't know how to make it clear. It's really a pain in the head to fight so hard. I don't know what to say to Sawamura, who is already physically tired and still working so hard.

"Don't worry! I know, I won't leave a mess, Miyuki-senpai." After listening to Miyuki Kazuya's words, Eijun stared at Miyuki Kazuya with both eyes, then the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said in a serious tone .

But at this moment, there is a golden light in the eyes, as if it can suck people in, making people feel a little bit involuntarily addicted to it.

Miyuki smiled slightly at this, remembering what Senior Chris said just now, maybe it really is that way.

[Qingdao High School scored a point in the first half of the second round by relying on the center line attack, and will Hanamakito catch up in the second half of the second round to even the score or even surpass it? !The second half of the second inning begins now. 】

[Fourth bat, third baseman, Caijin! 】

"clatter--"

Hanamakihito's four-stick Caizu Kazuo, with absolute strength and skill, can be said to be less aggressive than Yuuki.

It's just that Yuki is inferior to Yuki in terms of fame.

Looking at the extremely oppressive hitters on the strike zone, Eijun couldn't help but take a deep breath, and clenched the bat in his hand. The only strong hits that could make him feel this way are enough to show that Hanamaki Higashi The hitters are really strong.

But even if this is the case, he can definitely solve him. If you are timid first, then you must... lose!

As soon as his eyes were fixed, he put the unnecessary distracting thoughts behind him.

Miyuki looked at Eijun who had adjusted himself, and felt quite relieved, but also, after experiencing so many strong beatings, but just met one, how could Eijun be suppressed by this guy, so timid!

"Start pitching!"

The first shot is to shoot the Carter ball in the inside corner, but the change must be controlled, and you can't miss the shot, or you will be kicked out by this guy!

The result of your attack just now is due to collapse.

At the same time when the head referee announced the start, Yuxing also decisively matched the first ball, and the first ball was matched with a change ball.

Rong Chun raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. This guy didn't forget to tease himself even after playing with a ball.

Then he raised his leg and shook his arm, and the baseball just came out of his hand.

"call out"

Kazuo Caizu, who was staring at the mound on the strike zone, also had a panoramic view of Eijun's every move, and subconsciously clenched the bat in his hand even more.

Inner corner, the speed is very fast, it looks like it should be a straight ball!

"Swish"

Immediately, Caizu Kazuo swung the bat in his hand.

But just when Kazuo Caizu swung his bat to his waist, the flying baseball suddenly shook and pulled, and then a refraction avoided the bat and went towards the catcher's glove behind the bat.

"Snapped"

Caijin Kazuo didn't expect Qingdao to shoot and catch him, and he dared to match the change ball with the first ball. It was really beyond his expectation.

But after thinking about it, playing such a ball also shows their strength, and if he swings the bat like just now, the sharp change of this ball is not something he can easily catch the center of the ball, even if it happens to hit it. Could hit an infield fly or even a grounder.

"A strike!"

The next step is to throw an inside corner Carter ball!

Do your best to vote here!

As a catcher, Miyuki is very aggressive, and timid distribution and probing are what he dislikes the most, so it can be said that this is fully reflected in the distribution of the ball.

"call out"

Um? !Another inside corner kick, Kazuo Caizu was a little bit confused when he saw the path of the ball. Is there any routine? !
Although I was a little muttering in my heart, I still saw the swing.

He didn't believe that this guy would still be a change ball, and it was not impossible to think of Miyuki's untraceable match when he was about to swing the bat!

"Swish"

So when I was swinging, I recalled the change of the ball just now, adjusted my swing angle, and swung out vigorously, hoping to smooth out the irregular displacement of the baseball by relying on strength.

"bang"

The sound of collision suddenly sounded.

Wei Jin is so strong, unexpectedly, this first-year Wei Jin is about to catch up with Shintaro, it is really not to be underestimated.

His eyes were full of fear.

"boom"

Under the swing of the baseball, relying on the strong and sharp tail force, the bat failed to smooth out the irregular changes by relying on strength, but was squeezed into a cheap position.

Then the speed bullet flew to the surface outside the boundary of third base.

The strength and speed are exceptionally strong, even Masuko Toru felt a white light flash in front of his eyes, and the baseball flew past like that.

"Fouls!"

[At the beginning of the second half of the second inning, Aido's first-year pitcher Sawamura faced Hanamakihigashi's ace four-baller Caijin, relying on two balls to attack the inside corner. Without wasting extra balls, two strikes chased up! ! ! 】

【Then will it be Hanamakihito's four-bat Zaitsu reversal, the hit from pitcher Sawamura, or the number of outs when Seido's pitcher Sawamura takes four-bat Zaitsu in one fell swoop? ! ! 】

Carter ball in the inside corner on the next ball.

Miyuki and Eijun on the mound looked at each other, and Eijun nodded in agreement with the tacit cooperation in pitching.

Even if the inside corner Carter ball was hit just now, but the next ball was an inside corner Carter ball, but he threw it without any hesitation.

"call out"

Inner corner again? ! !

Caijin Kazuo really twitched the corners of his mouth a little, and he still came, isn't this really underestimating himself? !It's still the inner corner of the ball, but I guessed it just now, and I dare to do it.

But what kind of ball will it be? !
Although he guessed it just now, he felt that even if Miyuki of Aido didn't play his cards according to the routine, it would be impossible for him to still do it!

Then bet that the ball is a straight ball.

"Swish"

The movement of the hand was also waved out without delay.

"bang"

The sound of the collision, the intertwined light and shadow, and the livid face of the batter, the outcome of the ball was decided at this moment.

hateful!Did you make a mistake!
It's still a Carter ball, all three. He's really going to vomit blood, and he's not afraid that it won't work after this one from him.

Caijin Kazuo really didn't expect that Miyuki from Seido would be so daring to match, and the first-year pitcher would be so daring to pitch, and he didn't see it at all. I really can't see that these two guys were pinching each other not long ago To die or to live.

Such a situation can be hand in hand now.

He can only say, take it! ! !
But he is not willing to let him end so unwillingly, no matter what, he has to show these two bold guys that Caijin and Fu are not so easy to bully, don't think that you can out him!
Immediately, the center of gravity was lowered, putting more power on the baseball.

"Get out for me—!"

With a roar, he flew out with the baseball upside down.

"call out"

The next moment the audience was silent.

"Snapped"

Eijun blinked, and glanced at Kazuo Zaizu who was about to vomit blood on the strike zone. He didn't understand what was going on. He just watched the ball being hit and symbolically stretched out his gloves and didn't move. After receiving and watching, it turned out to be such an imposing blow, and then the ball appeared in his glove.

"Out!"

At this moment, the chief referee broke the silence.

The corners of Miyuki's mouth on the home plate raised wildly. It was really funny. I thought he had miscalculated, miscalculated Kazuo Caitsu's strength and striking skills, and ended up flying into Sawamura's glove by coincidence. middle.

Even Qing Dao's infielders, who were ready to go, did not expect such a coincidence to hit a pitcher's head-on flat fly.

Apparently they overestimated.

Kazuo Caizu: "..." Fleeing Years is Unfavorable.jpg
[Finally, in this four-stick duel, the pitcher from Seido High School, Sawamura, was even better. With a carter ball from the inside corner, the hitter hit a frontal fly ball at the last moment, and scored the number of outs! ! 】

"Good job, Sawamura!"

"Hahaha! Defensive skills are very solid!"

"It was a great catch!"

"Cheer up, Qingdao!"

At this moment, Qingdao also cheered for joy. After all, the opponent's ace was hit by their four-bats led by the middle and lower batsmen, and their pitcher directly killed Hanamakihito's four-bats leader with his own pitch. .

It was still the pitcher who caught the kill himself, which was too upbeat.

Kazuo Caizu, who took the fourth bat, was out of the game in a daze without being able to toss in the hands of Eijun for the five-bat catcher Asakura who was slightly weaker than him, and the sixth-batter shortstop Eda. number.

Asakura, the fifth player, was also wary after seeing the scene where Kazuo Caizu was fooled by the match ball shot by Seido.

As a result, after entangled with two straight balls, one with a high inner corner and the other with a low inner angle, another ball with an inner corner came unexpectedly.

Because Kazuo Zaizu’s playing mat had a profound impact on him, he thought that this could never be an ordinary inside corner kick, it might be a straight ball or a Carter ball, and he gritted his teeth and thought too much that it would not be an ordinary straight ball. It was a carter ball, so I swung a little slower, and then it was a tragedy.

The baseball flew to the sky above the mound where Eijun was, and Eijun caught it as soon as he reached out, and he was counted out.

In the case of two outs, Eda can say that he witnessed the fate of his teammates Caijin and Asakura clearly, and decided to follow his own heart and not think too much about how Aidou's shooting and catching are. The two guys' matchmaking and pitching are really bold and unconstrained that normal people can understand.

He could see through their minds and led them by the nose.

However, the final result also failed to escape the cooperation of Miyuki and Eijun. Although he did not deliberately pursue the inertial guessing of the ball type, he was still directly and unceremoniously struck out by Eijun.

Now you really don't have to think too much about it.

It can be said that Eijun stabilized Qingdao's side in this round, and he also went up and down the three center hitters of Hanamaki East very neatly.

Although after the two rounds, Qingdao High School had the advantage, but Hanamakihito was not really a vegetarian, and counterattacked back quite quickly.

In the first half of the third inning, facing Aido's line-up from the ninth bat, Asanuma Shintaro's condition is getting better and better after two innings. Asakura also learned a lesson to avoid continuous low balls and lower the referee's pressure. A good impression, so Asanuma and Asakura were unable to play against Hakushu at the beginning of the game.

After the staggered attack of the two straight ball changeup balls in the inner corner, he unexpectedly threw his other winning change ball vertical slider in this game, which surprised Baizhou a little bit.

It was very helpless because of the sharp change of the slider and hit a level fly ball in the direction of third base, which was caught by Kazuo Caizu with a step back.

Scored the first out in the top half of three innings.

Then faced the first batter Kuramochi, although he was afraid of his footwork and stood in the left field, it seemed that he was determined to get on base, but after all, the first batter in their team was not bad at footwork, and he had practiced , Naturally know how to prevent such a hitter from suddenly hitting the base.

It was very neat and did not give Kuramochi a chance to touch the ball. A straight ball with a high strike from the outside corner; a second changeup; The changeup allowed Kuramochi to strike out.

Then Ryosuke Kominato, who was the second best, learned a little lesson from the last match, relying on his skills and excellent ball selection to entangle Shintaro Asanuma. After wasting four goals, Asakura also decisively played to escape to the outer corner. Sliding the ball vertically, and finally struck out to solve this difficult hitter.

At this point, Shintaro Asanuma also responded with three ups and downs, cutting off the momentum of Qingdao's high momentum when he rose to a high place.

The game had just started, and Hanamaki told everyone very forcefully that the outcome of the game would not be decided so easily until the last moment.

"It's really amazing! The strength is definitely not inferior to the so-called first echelon teams before. It really depends on the absolute strength to get here."

In the rest area on the first base side, Eijun put on his gloves and sighed as Hanamakihito watched the exchange of offense and defense.

"Of course, with a lot of luck and not enough matching strength, it is absolutely whimsical to want to get to this point. So we must not underestimate them. We must treat them seriously so that we can defeat our opponents and win the victory. Heading towards the one and only apex. Do you understand, Sawamura."

"I know, of course I'll be careful."

Eijun nodded and answered seriously.

"However, they are somewhat restrained in the face of Liangsang's attack. It seems that Liangsang's attack is still quite difficult for them, and it is not impossible to attack them."

As soon as the topic changed, it was mentioned that Hanamaki Higashi was struggling to deal with Kominato Ryosuke's blow just now. After all, there is no doubt about this.

"That's not right, but it's time for us to defend. We should do a good job of defending first, and then think about the attack!"

Miyuki is used to Sawamura's way of always focusing on hitting, so he really doesn't bother to correct it, as long as he throws the ball well.

"But... Sawamura, you're only in one or two rounds now."

Eijun also habitually nodded in response to Miyuki-senpai's reminder, but he understood the following words after a moment of stupefaction.

Glancing at the rest area, that guy Jiang Gu was no longer there.

It seems to be warming up.

Then he'll finish it off and hand over the burden to that guy!
"I see, don't worry!"

[In the second half of the third game, Hanamaki attacked, the seventh bat, the main player Tsukikawa]

In order to better connect the follow-up shots in the future, Miyuki still tries to control the number of balls as much as possible, so although he is still full of offense, he still tries to use defense to get the number of outs, although the ball is always inexplicably caught by Eijun before. .

In addition, after all, it is Hanamakidong's lower liner, even if he is a hitter with the ability to hit home runs, but in terms of strength and hitting skills, there are still shortcomings that can be clearly discovered and exploited.

"call out"

"bang"

"boom"

After the baseball was hit, it bounced between the second and third bases.

"Snapped"

After the hit baseball bounced off the ground, the shortstop Kura stepped forward with a sharp stride, and the holster stretched forward to intercept the baseball.

"call out"

"Snapped"

Immediately after Yukikawa was about to run to the position one step away from the first base bag, he sent the baseball into the glove of Yuuki who was waiting.

"Out!"

Tsukikawa Yuki, who rushed past the first base with inertia, stopped, half-bent over, panted heavily, and then sighed deeply.

"Ugh--"

Although he hit it, he knew that it was Qing Dao's intentional throw for him at the moment he hit it. He was sure he couldn't hit it well, but the strength of his swing must have exceeded expectations. I thought I could catch people by surprise. Thinking that they couldn't break through Qingdao's copper and iron defenses.

That shortstop is really quick enough.

Otherwise he would have hit base already!
"You did a great job, Senior Kurachi! If it weren't for you, that guy must have succeeded. You are indeed the number one scud in Qingdao!"

After getting rid of Tsukikawa Yuki who was the seventh player, Eijun was very happy to praise the senior Kuramochi who saved the scene in time, and the good words that don't cost money keep coming.

"Ahahaha! What's the matter, you can throw the ball with confidence!"

Kuramochi's heart was blown by Eijun's sweet words that seemed to be soaked in honey, and he was very happy boasting there.

"I will definitely keep you behind!"

"Snapped--"

At this moment, Kominato Ryosuke came over without seeing and gave Cang Mochi a little bit. It was really embarrassing to be blown away after being praised for a few good words.

"Stop bragging here, you're still competing!"

"It's Liangsang!"

Under the personal suppression of the senior, Cang Chi quickly returned to reality, his heart fell back to the original place, and then trotted back to his defensive position.

Looking at the smiling Liang-san, Eijun also obediently stayed on the mound.

Looking at this smile, I don't know why it feels so scary, hey, he didn't offend Liangsang, right?In retrospect, there is indeed no!
Sure enough, the only senior who is not respected is himself.

Miyuki at the home plate also saw this interaction, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, why did he not act as majestic as a senior.

Look at a senior's rainbow fart touting, a senior's one look makes this guy Sawamura as quiet as a chicken.

I just thought about it for a while, and since the game was still going on, I put this little complaint aside. With this kind of differential treatment, he really...really...really used to it, alas— —

After Yu Tsukikawa, who took the seventh in the opening pitch, three strikeouts left fielder Masanobu Kato in the eighth.

"Snapped"

"Out——!"

Then Miyuki and Eijun cooperated with each other to take advantage of the victory. Two consecutive balls allowed Nuochuan to hit a high fly ball in the direction of the center field. Isashiki relied on solid defense to catch him and scored the third out.

"Three outs, switch offense and defense!"

It can be said that after the first inning, the two sides entered into a peaceful period, but there were back and forth but no hits.

In Qingdao Rest Area.

"Chris, how many balls did Sawamura use?"

Supervisor Kataoka looked at Eijun who had the third out in the third game, and turned around to ask about Eijun's ball count.

Chris' pen stopped immediately, and after looking at it, he replied without hesitation: "In the current three innings, only 22 balls were used for a round of nine hitters, which is higher than Hanamakidong's ace It saves a lot, after all, Eijun is not a strikeout type player, coupled with Miyuki's deliberate control, based on the current number of balls, Eijun can still continue to throw one or two innings with ease."

"I see!"

Director Kataoka nodded.

"How's the warm-up going at Jianggu? Let's go and have a look, Nanmu." Then he gave instructions to Wenzai Nanmu.

"Yes!"

Then Nanmu trotted to the cowshed.

It seems that the supervision and substitution is either the next round or the fifth round. It is really the style of supervision. After all, Jiang Gu is asked to warm up in the third round, which is one round earlier than the meeting!I thought it would be at least the sixth inning.

After listening to the supervisor's words, Chris knew the general idea.

But he also agrees, after all, the body is more important, the last thing he wants is to see some juniors like him, it is not worthwhile to hurt the body too much.

Then the first half of the fourth inning started, with Qingdao High School attacking.

In this game, Hanamakihito will once again challenge Qingdao High School's upper-middle laner, but it is not known whether Hanamakihito's defense is better or Qingdao High's laner will score again.

But it didn't take long for the result to be revealed.

This time, Hanamakihito's trump card can be said to be extremely tenacious this time, and he just withstood the line attack from the third stick Isashiki.

Although in the second time when facing Isashiki to hit the line, after Isashiki entangled three balls, he was hit by his unreasonable blow to the surface of the right field and scored a single.

In the subsequent fourth bat, Yuuki used hits to advance the base pack as the primary purpose to strike. In this inning, Asanuma also chose to walk without hesitation.

So far, there are people on the first and second bases, and Toru Masuko, who ushered in the fifth bat, after hitting two balls, faced Shintaro Asanuma's vertical slider and hit a third base fly ball, which was directly caught by the third. Caijin and Fu at the base pick up and kill.

Later, Miyuki faced a great situation where there were men on the first and second bases and one out, but was suppressed by Asakura and Asanuma together, but fortunately, Miyuki managed to advance the bases.

So, with two outs and dunks on second and third bases, Seidou High School's eighth bat, Eijun, had his second at-bat.

The danger has been minimized, and against Eijun again, it can be said that Asakura is already confident that he can win the hitter who broke the score in the first game in such a situation, otherwise they would not be so bold. city.

After all, they didn't walk him because they were afraid of the city's blow.

It's all just for tactical arrangement, and their Huajuandong is not the kind who will be afraid just because of a temporary blow, and dare not fight head-on again.

And the result of the duel also proved that Asakura's observation in the last game was correct. Seido's Sawamura Eijun did not take a shot against the tricky pitch, especially when it came to the pitching arm.

So in the face of Asakura and Asanuma teaming up for Eijun, Eijun was also very helpless, and was struck out by three goals in the end.

So far, there is no way to grasp the good situation with someone on the second and third bases, and Qingdao High School's offense in the first half of the fourth inning can only stop here regrettably.

The second half of the fourth inning started, Hanamakihito attacked this inning, and Eijun could be said to have paid back the revenge of his strikeout.

Even in the second round, Hanamakihito didn't expect that Qingdou's pair of shooters and catchers were really out of character. This round changed the style of the first three rounds, and there was no straight ball in this round.

All are changing balls, and the ball power and tail strength are even heavier.

The power of the ball, which is light and heavy at times, also makes the batter Hanamaki thinks he is familiar with it miserable. This is the true strength of this pitcher.

It's really tough enough.

So Hota, who was the first hitter to play, originally planned to make a surprise hit, but he felt a direct hit from Eijun's heavy ball on the first pitch.

Almost couldn't hold the bat, and then the inside corner of the second ball was four-seam straight, and it was light and strong, and it almost hit an infield fly.

Fortunately, he still hit hard and went out of bounds.

But on the third ball, a clean Carter ball took him directly, and he got three balls and three strikes.

The second-best ace Asanuma also followed in the footsteps of his first-buck teammate Horita, and was also struck out by Eijun with three different change balls.

It can be said that at the beginning of the second half of the fourth round, he got two outs so smoothly, which also showed Qingdao's dominant side and was full of momentum.

However, when facing the third-ranked Shinjo Yukiya, Eijun got a good number of shots, and according to Miyuki's request, he missed the second ball when he threw a Carter ball in the inside corner, and forgot to add a spin. .

A carter ball just turned into a straight ball, and Xincheng Yukiya seized the opportunity and blasted it out all at once.

In one fell swoop, Eijun, who has not hit since the beginning of the game, scored a double, which also aroused warm cheers from the Hanamakihito supporters and cheerleaders, and the drum band's gongs and drums.

After all, although they had two outs, the next bat was their four-bat hitter - Caizu Kazuo, and the chance of scoring a hit was not impossible.

[After Seido's Sawamura player scored two outs, Hanamakihito's third-ball Shinshiro caught Sawamura's missed straight ball in one fell swoop and landed deep in left field, scoring a double! ! ! 】

[Under such circumstances, Sawamura will face Kamakito's ace four-stick Caizu for the second time. Will the pitcher Sawamura continue to suppress the last batting mat or will the four-stick Caitsu wash away his previous failure experience? Woolen cloth? ! ! 】

[Fourth bat, third baseman, Caijin! 】

"Cheer up, Caijin-senpai!"

"Let's score a hit in one fell swoop!"

"Get out!! Kazuo!!"

"Four aces, it's up to you."

In the middle of the game, Hanamakihito ushered in a chance to comeback. Naturally, Hanamakihigashi's long-suppressed emotions broke out at this moment.

"bring it on--!"

Kazuo Saizu pointed the bat at Eijun on the mound as soon as he stepped into the strike zone, and then announced his challenge in a rough voice.

Eijun narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't expect that at this last moment, his carelessness gave Hanamakito the opportunity to go wild, even if he wanted to change pitches, he would not end in embarrassment, leaving a mess for the next pitcher.

Taking a deep breath, he pulled the brim of his hat, kicked the dirt at the foot of the mound, and then stared at the home plate ahead with bright eyes.

Seeing Eijun whose status was still online, Miyuki felt relieved.

Originally, he was worried when he missed that ball, but now it seems that he doesn't have to worry. It is still possible to solve the state of a hitter Sawamura, even if the hitter is Hanamakihito's fourth bat.

After all, there are still some types of balls that have not been used. I can let Kazuo Caijin experience it this time, and then I will have no chance to hit it again. Oh, it is really a good idea, I must be very angry!Puff--! !

Thinking of this, Miyuki's eyes under the goggles flickered a few times.

"Start pitching!"

At the signal of the referee, the game started again.

"call out"

At the same time, the baseball was thrown from Eijun's hands.

Seeing the flying baseball, Kazuo Caizu really learned his lesson this time, and hit it without any distracting thoughts.

"bang"

The strength of the blow still made Yuxing a little apprehensive, but luckily Eijun's ball could suppress this guy's swing, otherwise he would have been thrown out.

"call out"

"boom"

The ball was carried upside down by the heavy bat and landed out of bounds in left field.

"Fouls!"

[On the first pitch, Kazuo Caijin caught the trajectory of the baseball and blasted directly out of bounds in left field. It was a pity that he was able to win Changan by a few centimeters! 】

As the commentator said, he almost went into the bounds. Although he and Miyuki-senpai calculated that he would not hit the bounds, he was still amazed and taken aback by the batter's swing.

Now it's a situation where there are people on the second base. If they enter the bounds, it will really be a point that will be properly scored.It seems that he still needs to be more cautious, otherwise if he really makes a mistake, it will really be over.

Rong Chun took a deep breath, his expression was stable, he can, he can still suppress him, he has the capital of self-confidence.

Sawamura, it doesn't matter, it's still under our control, and he hasn't been able to grasp the true trajectory of your ball, he just smoothed it out a little bit with his strength.

Next pitch, a changeup from the inside corner.

Let him first have a sense of the difference in speed difference, and finally win the hitter with a direct hit, and throw it with confidence and boldness!
Seeing Miyuki-senpai who slid his fingers slightly to comfort and comfort him, Eijun nodded solemnly.

"call out"

In the next second, Eijun first glanced at the runner on second base and gave a check, then raised his right leg high, then raised his hands above the top and began to throw the ball.

The moment the leg fell, the baseball turned into white light and flew out.

When Caijin on the strike zone was about to swing the bat, he saw that the speed of the ball was a little uncoordinated. Isn't it weird?

Immediately, a flash of inspiration flashed, and he thought of this pitcher and his good changeup, so it seems that the speed of this ball is not so fast.

So abruptly slowed down his attack rhythm.

"bang"

Under Miyuki's hellish eyes, he caught the batting point of the baseball and hit the ball, but the range of change of this ball is still unusual, so there is still a slight difference in position and angle.

"boom"

The ball flew upside down and bounced to the surface outside third base, picked up a lot of dust, and then rolled to a distance.

"Fouls!"

"call--"

Both Miyuki and Eijun couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

They were really scared to death. They thought it was over. After all, the flag had just been set up, and it was really embarrassing to be slapped in the face all of a sudden!

[The second ball, the pitcher Sawamura's changeup was caught by Hanamakihito's Caizu this time, but it was still a little bit of an angle, and it only hit third base out of bounds. 】

"Come on, Sawamura!"

"Two strikes are chasing after him, let's take him directly!"

"Senior Caijin can do it, catch it, and blast it out in one fell swoop!"

"Go! Kazuo!"

"Sawamura! Go—"

"Hanajume, come on! Hanjume, come on!"

"Qingdao, you must win! Qingdao, you must win!"

At this moment, at this tense moment, the supporters of both sides are frantically sending their warmest solidarity to their supporters.

Hmph, he must take him down!
Eijun looked at Kazuo Caitsu on the strike zone with a firm expression, and squeezed the baseball in his hand, he could do it.

So since this is the case, let's directly win this ball!Miyuki-senpai, let's throw that type of ball for the next ball!I'm ready, come on!
At this moment, Eijun looked at Miyuki Kazuya trustingly.

What is revealed is the absolute trust in Kazuya Miyuki, which is the trust and dependence on Miyuki the catcher from the bottom of his heart that Eijun himself did not realize.

Looking at Eijun like this, Miyuki also saw him for the second time after the Battle of Daocheng!Complete trust and dependence on yourself.

Since the junior is so direct, then of course he is... to accompany him to the end.

Now that you are ready, try your best to vote and end this round!But you must control it well, once you miss the shot or miss it, it will be over. You know the hitting power of this hitter, right?
I understand, Miyuki-senpai, I will definitely throw the best shot into the position where your glove is placed, don't worry!

At the moment when the shot and catch reached a tacit agreement, the third ball arrived as scheduled.

"call out"

When the white light flew over, Caijin Kazuo also saw the course of the ball.

Inside corner!
The last time he saw so many inside corner kicks, he had enough confidence to hit them, and he just wanted to avenge the last time he played.

Keep an eye on the inside corner kick.

"Swish"

The bat was swung, but at the moment when the ball was about to hit the bat, there was a sudden shock, and then the baseball suddenly disappeared from Caijin's sight, and then the swing was lost.

"Snapped"

Then he heard the sound of a baseball entering the glove, and Caijin turned his head to look at the white baseball entering the glove.

"Three strikes, the hitter strikes out!"

The confident figure on the mound, against Caijin's frustrated figure, is so vivid and dazzling.

In this duel, Seido's Sawamura Eijun still suppressed Hanamakito's fourth, Caitsu, and once again defeated Hanamakito.

"Three outs, switch offense and defense!"
