King's Green Road

Chapter 289 Part283 Qingdao where things are not going well

After the pitch change, the performance of the following pitcher also proved that the decision made by the troll supervisor is still very reliable.

After the game started again, Koizumi, who played as a follow-up pitcher, showed the great strength and willpower of a third-year pitcher belonging to their trolls with the unwillingness of ace Matsuda.

With four balls, Yuuki, the fourth bat, hit a high fly in the direction of right field and was caught and killed by the right fielder. Although the second base runner Isashiki took the opportunity to run to third base, he still did not waver to the big side of the trolls. .

Then struck out Masuko Toru, the fifth-bat.

"Snapped"

"Three outs, switch offense and defense!"

"Cut, it's really amazing!" Isashiki whispered unwillingly. Although he scored an RBI, it would be even better if he could score more points. Unfortunately, the troll's big defense told him That is wishful thinking.

To be honest, the troll's big defense is definitely one of the top of this year's Koshien.

Especially with four top pitchers taking turns.

It is absolutely easy for one person to defend three or four rounds casually, and control the loss to a manageable situation.

On the contrary, their team, facing the trolls who are not inferior to their team, although they also have four pitchers, their levels are uneven. This is their biggest weakness. As long as that guy Sawamura goes off the field prematurely, their The chances of winning will definitely be reduced. It is really not that Isashiki underestimated the other three, and their weaknesses are too obvious, so they want to score urgently to reduce the pressure on pitchers.

Qingdao Rest Area.

"The offensive thing is over first. If you don't grasp the opportunity, you can only say that the trolls are not so easy to deal with. This is not because of your lack of ability. The most important thing is the next defense. If the defense loses points, attack You can't make any progress, and if you are caught by the troll, don't think about winning, understand?!"

Supervisor Kataoka could see to some extent that his team members were a little out of balance because they were eager to win in the finals, so he didn't say much, just a few simple points to mention.

He believes that the players he has taught are all the best, and they will understand the crux of the matter without too much criticism.

"Yes!"

All the members of Qingdao were shocked and spoke in unison.

yes!They are the ones who are in a hurry, the game has just started, and we are leading, even if they are in a hurry, it shouldn't be them.

"Seniors, don't worry, I, Sawamura Eijun, will definitely defend the opponent's attack, but the defense behind me depends on the seniors. It is because the seniors are behind me that I dare to say such a thing. I believe in the seniors. Ability!"

Rongchun also stood up at this moment.

Looking at the group of third-year seniors with piercing eyes, there is complete trust and dependence on them in the eyes.

"This is the last time I stand on the Koshien court with my seniors. I believe that my seniors and I will be able to win the final victory. Let's go together!"

"..."

All the seniors in Qingdao fell silent for a while.

"You bastard, what are you talking about! It should be us who say it! It's really embarrassing!"

"Don't worry! Of course we will win."

"So you can throw the ball with confidence! Leave the defense to us, and we will definitely defend it for you."

"It's just that the defense will naturally be guarded by you, but you, Sawamura, are really too showy!" Kuramochi also agreed, and then he started to rub Eijun's slightly sweaty hair, rubbing it like a bird's nest.

"All stole the limelight from us seniors!!"

"Hahaha--!!"

"I know! Senior Kuramochi!"

Rong Chun replied in a low voice, obviously what he said was so passionate, but the seniors knew how to tear it down, alas——, it was really difficult for him.

He just wanted to be a caring elementary school boy, but he failed.

Chris looked at Eijun and the others who were fighting together, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up. Eijun is so easy to mobilize everyone's emotions.

It's really suitable to be an ace or captain. Of course, it's just that Eijun's character as an ace or captain is absolutely unique in his ability to mobilize players, but to really achieve this position, he still needs to practice.

Especially as the captain of a team, it might be too early, but Ace has already met the most basic requirements and abilities!

[In the first half of the fourth inning, Troll High School was attacking, and standing on the mound at the moment was still a first-year left-hander—Sawamura, the game begins now! !Second bat, left fielder, Tsuburaya! ! 】

The first ball, the high four seam straight ball in the inner corner, must be controlled in the strike zone!

Miyuki still asked for a straight ball for the first ball. One is that the straight ball is the best choice for testing, and the other is that the required ball control is the lowest.

In order to preserve Eijun's ball control to the maximum extent, try to control the changing ball as much as possible if it is not necessary, otherwise it will be over if it loses control, then it is not far from Eijun's drop, and it is not far from their failure.

Ah!
Rong Chun pulled the brim of his hat with his left hand, nodded cautiously in response.

It was the second time this batter was facing each other, and his striking power could only be described as average, but his technique was very good, although in his opinion it was not as good as Liangsang.

"call out"

"Swish"

Tsuburaya spotted the incoming ball and strode forward to swing.

"Snapped"

"A strike!"

Tsuburaya couldn't help frowning when he re-positioned his batting posture. This guy's ball control ability is really good, and the quality of the straight ball is very good. Although he has slightly adapted to this throwing posture, it is still a bit difficult to hit it well!

Without waiting for him to think too much, the second ball came as expected.

"bang"

Damn it! !

"Get out of here—"

Tsuburaya's second pitch hit the flying baseball, but it was a pity that he couldn't get the range of the infield. Instead, it was a strong ground ball, and the baseball landed not far from the left side of the mound and rushed forward.

"Second baseman!"

Miyuki notified his teammates unhurriedly.

Such a strike route, for their Qingdao's Iron Wall Eryoujian, it couldn't be easier to intercept it.

"Ha ha--"

It's impossible to hit a base.

Kominato Ryosuke took three steps and made two steps, his eyes narrowed slightly and he stretched out the ball cover with a slight smile to intercept this powerful infield ground ball.

"Snapped"

Then a non-stop fast pass, when Tsuburaya was two steps away from first base, the baseball had already appeared in the hands of first baseman Yuuki.

"Out!"

"call--"

Tsuburaya breathed a sigh of relief, although he tried his best to go to the base, but he was still a bit unlucky, or maybe Qingdao's defense didn't give him this chance at all.

Then he slowly paced back towards the rest area.

"Good job! Liang-san!"

Eijun loudly praised Kominato Ryosuke's defense without hesitation.

"I will continue to work hard on pitching, and I will continue to count on defense!"

After speaking, he bowed to the seniors around him.

"Continue voting! Sawamura!"

"We'll keep it safe!"

"Do your best!"

The seniors are not tearing down the stage at this time, but they also gave their greatest support to the junior on the pitcher's mound. Along the way, this junior has contributed a lot. All they can do is let him To pitch without worry, to guard his surroundings.

Under such a powerful Qingdao defense, the troll's big attack can be said to have made no progress, and the third strike was directly out of the game.

Even the lead player in the fourth battalion just tried his best to entangle the five balls, and he had no choice but to hit a high-fly ball in the direction of the center field and was caught.

"Snapped"

"Three outs, switch offense and defense!"

"Good job, Sawamura!"

"Hahaha! Continue!"

"Qingdao! Qingdao! Qingdao!"

"Win the game! Qingdao!"

Great resting area for trolls.

"It's really unexpected that this young first grader can already gain so much trust from the seniors! The most important thing is that he can drive the atmosphere, what a good seed! Tsk tsk——"

At this time, Yukzo Nitta also had to marvel at Eijun's affinity.

Especially compared with Hongo Masamune in his team, heh heh, he is really someone else's child, and Hongo is far behind.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Hongo who was sullen at the moment with disgust.

Masamune Hongo sensed the gaze of his own demon supervisor, and stared back unceremoniously, no matter what he looked at, he wouldn't let him play, if he wanted to make him look good, go dreaming!
I just couldn't see it! !
Kozo Nitta shook his head and continued to pay attention to the field.

Although it is a bit of a mess, he doesn't think Hongo is inferior to Qingdao's left-hander in terms of talent and strength, but it is not yet time for Hongo to play, the difference is only one point, and he will prepare for the next game Ready to take it back.

After a round of playing, it must be no problem to score.

Immediately, he gave instructions to the players who were going to play with all their strength to attack. After all, being behind still affected morale.

Director Nitta's plan was not wishful thinking. As soon as the fourth game started, Eijun felt the strength and terror of the dark horse from the Northland.

Takano Ichi, the fifth batman, came on the field, and in the case of two strikes, he flew the third ball and successfully scored the first single.

"Safe on base!"

hateful!

Eijun raised his left hand and shook it, but he lost control just now, otherwise the ball that was supposed to change would not fly straight over and be picked up.

Reluctantly, he glanced at Kazuhiro Takano at first base.

Miyuki didn't expect the counterattack to come so fast. The last thing he expected was that Eijun's left hand must have missed a shot just now. After all, he just wanted a changeup ball, but it turned out to be a fast and ordinary straight ball.

"Snapped"

Seeing Eijun on the mound who missed for the first time in this game, Miyuki frowned slightly, and punched his glove hard to attract the guy on the mound who was a little hit by his poor state.

Don't worry about it, I believe you can control it, don't be burdened, there are senior Tanba behind you, don't worry and boldly give full play to it!
Besides, after a long time of pitching, there will always be times when you can't concentrate, don't collapse just because of this small mistake, then you will really let me down.

After Eijun was attracted attention, he saw the signal from Rong Xing to himself. It is impossible for him not to care. Although he has rich experience in the game, this game or every previous game until today is in his heart. Very important.

But after all, he is not really a first-year Xiaobai. Although he attaches great importance to the competition, his good competition experience allowed him to adjust himself immediately.

He also didn't want Miyuki to underestimate him.

"call out"

"bang"

However, facing the troll's sixth bat, his state was affected to a certain extent. After entangled with three balls, he hit left field again.

"Left field—"

Although Yuxing didn't expect the trolls to bite so hard, but after all, it was their Qingdao who was better in this ball, and he still believed in their defensive ability.

"Sakai, look at the location first, there is time, don't take the risk of picking up the kill!" Isashiki also rushed to support the first time.

Looking at Sakai who was running hard, Isashiki felt a little uneasy, and couldn't help reminding Ichiro Sakai loudly.

It's just that at the moment Ichiro Sakai put all his attention on the flying baseball and turned a deaf ear to Isashiki's shouting.

is there! !

Sakai saw where the baseball hit and swooped in to catch it.

"boom"

"Snapped"

One was the sound of Sakai's body falling to the ground, and the other was the sound of a baseball hitting the ground. The result is self-evident. Sakai's risky move did not get a good return, but it made Qingdao's precarious defense worse again.

"Damn, Sakai, what are you thinking?!"

Isashiki sped up again, and while running fast, he questioned Sakai Ichiro angrily, for such a ball, he was actually performing a risky and skillful defense for him there, without looking at the current situation, it was too messy.

"Damn it! Look at me!!"

"Snapped"

Isashiki picked up the ball and passed it to Kuramochi who was covering the second base as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, it was always a step late.

"Safe on base!"

"Oh oh oh-!!"

"We must win! The troll is big! We must win! The troll is big!"

"Great job! Aoki!"

"Hahaha! It's too reliable! Senior Aoki!"

"Good run! Takano!!"

"Go for a hit! Big troll!"

Such a dramatic development caused the supporters and players of the big trolls to cheer, and the chance to equalize the score was close at hand.

How could they be unhappy.

The Qingdao side became a little silent!
Eijun held the baseball that Miyuki Shin had given him, glanced at the direction of the outfield, lowered the brim of his hat, wondering what he was thinking.

The defensive players on the field were also very embarrassed. In such a situation, it was too difficult to defend without losing points. Before going on the field, they promised their juniors to guard the rear, but such a sudden incident happened.

The corner of Miyuki's mouth twitched. It seemed that this scene had appeared in the regional finals, and that person seemed to be Senior Sakai. Is this an unbreakable curse? !

Do you want to pause!

When Miyuki was raising money, it was Eijun on the mound who responded first, indicating that there is no need to pause, he has no problem, let the game continue!
Miyuki took a few fixed glances at Eijun, and finally chose to believe in Eijun's choice.

West Tokyo Inagi Baseball Conference Room.

"This……"

The new captain of Daocheng saw the behavior of Sakai Ichiro's teammate cheating for a while, and he obviously didn't take risks, so he took the kill properly? !Why can't you think about doing this kind of defensive behavior that seems stupid!

"laugh--"

Cheng Gongming sneered very unceremoniously, he really overestimated his behavior, it's fine if he didn't defend well, and it's really stupid enough to cause trouble for a pitcher who is already under great pressure.

The most important thing is that their Daocheng actually lost to such a team. The more they think about it, the more they feel unwilling. Their Daocheng is much better than Qingdao.

"It's better to lose to us! It's really embarrassing, throwing it in front of the whole country, and not knowing the embarrassment, it also caused a lot of trouble for my teammates. In this way, no one is out, and there are people on the first and second bases. Qingdao wants to keep a point. It's too unrealistic, and it's impossible for the troll to let it go easily."

Baihe Shengzhi also followed suit.

"Yes!"

Just like what Daocheng said, although the trolls' rest area organized this counterattack, the effect was not good, but what they didn't expect was that the opponent's teammates were too good at cheating their teammates. Bye bye created a great opportunity for them to score.

It's not justified not to get points!
"It's really an unexpected development! Then Koizumi will go and score a tie-breaker hit for us trolls! Hehe——"

Koizo Nitta smiled and told Koizumi Riki who was about to hit the field, if he would let go of such an opportunity, then he really has the heart of a Bodhisattva, just go to save all sentient beings, and be a high school baseball supervisor.

"Yes!"

Koizumi also nodded.

Koizumi is also the second overall pick of the Trolls. He is a powerful pitcher in pitching and a talented hitter with both strength and sense of the ball.

[Seventh bat, pitcher, Koizumi! 】

With no outs and men on first and second bases, it was the pitcher's first hit.

"Start pitching!"

Yu Xing felt the sense of coercion from the opponent, and knew that this Jitou's strike ability was definitely not simple, so he had to be careful.

A four-seam straight ball with a high inside corner on the first ball.

"call out"

"Snapped"

"A strike!"

Koizumi also chose to let go of the first ball. First, observe the pitcher's pitch and swing the bat at the right time. He will not waste his batting.

He actually let it go, he seems to be a cautious batter!

In the first ball confrontation, Miyuki probably knew some little habits of this hitter's hitting, so his distribution of the ball would also change a little bit for it.

Then the second ball Miyuki asked for a straight ball with a low outside corner.

He wanted to take another look at the hitter's range.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this was exactly the result that Koizumi also wanted to see. Facing the ball, he swung his bat without hesitation.

"bang"

"call out"

Under the vigorous swing, the baseball was endowed with strong power, and then flew upside down out of the space of the infield, and rushed towards the outfield.

"Right field!"

Hakushu also moved immediately. With the lessons learned by Ichiro Sakai, Hakushu didn't do any fancy risky defenses, but just played steadily to follow the ball, trying to catch the baseball before it hit the ground.

"boom"

It's a pity that this time the blow was targeted, and it was hit far enough and fast enough that Baizhou couldn't feel the catch immediately, so he could only watch the ball fall from the sky from a distance.

When Hakushu picked up the ball and passed it to the infield, the runner on second base had already returned to home plate, and the batter and the runner on first base also occupied the second and third bases.

At the beginning of the fourth round, Qingdao was hit hard, unable to resolve the crisis, and the score was evened by the troll.

What's more serious is that after the troll scored a big score, the situation is still no one out, there are people on the second and third bases, and there is a great opportunity to score.

Did Qingdao survive the crisis, or did the troll expand its advantage in one breath?It depends on who is better in the defense and attack of the two sides.
