King's Green Road

Chapter 298 Part288 The Advantage of Two Points Difference

[The second half of the seventh inning begins now, with Qingdao High School attacking! 】

The Qingdao rest area at this moment.

"There are still three chances in the game. The only thing I ask of you now is to use the bats in your hands to continuously hit and attack the opponent's defense. Now the game has reached the end of the game. Whether it is the opponent or us at this time This is the moment when the tension is at its extreme, no mistakes are allowed, and the anxiety will also be at its peak, so aim at the opponent's fielder in such a high-pressure field where no mistakes are allowed, and try your best to hit your own hits. !"

Supervisor Kataoka looked at the group of disciples and said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Among all the contestants in Qingdao, Yuuki, Isashiki and other third-year seniors answered the loudest and most emotionally.

It can be said that compared to now, they are able to compete with each other because of Miyuki and Eijun's shooting and arresting to block the opponent's offensive, they can deal with it so calmly, but they are seniors in the third grade!

Relying on the juniors of the first and second grades to win the competition is terrible, and they have to perform well.

Although the seniors in the third grade want to show off, it's not their turn to fight for Bangji yet.

[Ninth bat, right fielder, Hakushu! 】

As the first hitter to play, Hakushu, the all-round hitter, once again amazed the players and supporters of the Qingdao side in this round.

After entangled with three balls, Baizhou caught a big pitch from the pitcher and swept it unceremoniously.

Scored a single in front of right field.

This opened up the situation for Qingdao's next attack.

"Senior Hakushu is really reliable? And no matter what kind of hitter he is dealing with, he can adapt well."

Sitting next to Chris, Eijun looked at Senior Hakushu who silently clenched his fists after hitting base, and said with a sigh.

Although Senior Hakushu's blows give people an unremarkable feeling, and people will ignore his sense of existence. It really doesn't feel like a person with a strong blow, but Senior Hakushu's blows are second only to Qingdao. Yuuki-senpai and Isashiki-senpai who hit the line at the clear base exist.

Otherwise, when the team first formed in autumn, they wouldn't be on the clearing line.

"Yes!"

Klass glanced at the attack data of Baizhou in this game and agreed.

"After all, this is the first person to score two hits against the troll after Yuuki! In terms of overall comprehensive strength, Hakushu is definitely more than enough to be the top three in our team."

While the two were chatting, after Hakushu hit base, Kataoka Supervisor let him play as the second hitter and walked Hakushu to the base with a bunt.

"Snapped"

"Safety!"

"Out!"

Troll Dai's side is so different from Eijun's before Aido, and he chose to default to the one-for-one tactic when he hits the bunt.

Let Seodo advance the bases and take the batter's outs.

Although Kuramochi pushed the base with a bunt strike, he was actually a little lucky and hoped that he could get on base without being out, but the troll's big defense still told Kuramochi that this was delusional, and it was not enough to think once. For the second time, it really can only be said that you are thinking about peach.

[Second bat, second baseman, Xiao Minato! 】

Kominato Ryosuke hit the home plate in front of him as soon as he stood on the strike zone, and made a few gestures with his usual gentle smile on his face.

This guy? !
Sakata on the mound couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth. Facing this guy, he remembered the hitter's entanglement with about ten pitches in the last inning.

No, no, he will not be the same as Koizumi.

Don't worry, after all, this hitter is just a hitter with more than enough dexterity but not enough strength, and our pure strength competition will not be inferior.

Aoki Kazuo also saw that Sakata was a bit stiff in action because of the batter, and after a little thought, he understood why.

Probably thought of the fact that Koizumi was entangled by this hitter in the last round and managed to pick four bad hits. After all, this is not something that a pitcher likes.

Well, I get it.

Sakata took a deep breath and adjusted his state. After all, he just watched the matchup, not the matchup, and he is a pitcher trained by the trolls, and he will never shrink back because of this problem.

"Start pitching!"

Under the order of the chief referee, the game officially kicked off again.

Both sides are also ready for a fierce battle.

What I didn't expect was that after Ryosuke Kominato entangled with three goals, he thought he would continue to entangle endlessly, and the troll big two shot and caught were also prepared.

In the end, is Kominato Ryosuke such a well-behaved person who only knows how to get on base?
If you really think so, you would underestimate Ryosuke Kominato too much. This is firmly occupying the position of second baseman and second starter in the hands of a group of players taller than him, which has its own benefits.

"bang"

The next moment, a pink figure was already heading towards the first base from the strike zone, but at this time, the troll's big shot was stunned by this accident, and the pause was fatal.

The result of the slow reaction by half a beat is that Ryosuke Kominato originally needed a lot of hard work to be able to hit the base, but now it is achieved effortlessly.

"Oh, it's really unexpected and easy!"

Kominato Ryosuke stood at first base and murmured with a smile.

The first baseman Haruno Musashi at first base naturally heard this sentence clearly, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly in his heart. He could imagine that when the inning was over and he returned to the rest area, there would be a storm from the supervisor.

It's terrible to be so negligent.

How come their trolls would twitch from time to time when they met Qingdao High School? It's really strange enough, alas!

Great resting area for trolls.

"Have I been too kind to you recently, and it's really ugly to let me slack off like this. Is it a dream to win the championship like this? Why don't you just raise your hands and surrender to me as soon as possible?" !Ah--"

Kozo Nitta looked coldly at his group of unsatisfied players, who always lost the chain at critical moments, he simply didn't know what to say.

To say that the strength is not enough, it is definitely a joke. On paper strength, their trolls have the upper hand, but the result?The reality is the opposite.

By the end of the seventh round, the score came to a 2:1 situation. Seeing that this round was about to lose a point, and now they got a point from that first grader. I don't know what to say.

"Lianji, go warm up with Hongo!"

After saying something in a fit of rage, the words that were lightly dropped in the end shocked the expressions of those present.

Hongo waited so long for this sentence, and it can be said that there was one who was the most excited. The moment Kozo Nitta said the words, he got up and walked towards the cowshed with great strides.

Okajo Renji was left behind by him.

Lian Si smiled helplessly. It looks like it will be a fierce duel when they go on stage!Really looking forward to Hong Kong's performance.

Ok? !

When Eijun was watching it was Isashiki-senpai's turn to face off, he made a mistake and saw something special going on in the troll bullpen.

Now that the third pitcher of the troll is on the field, even if there is someone, it can only be that person-Masamune Hongo.

It's time to play, will it be in the next game or in this game?
Eijun didn't have much to worry about. After all, they were leading. Even if Hongo played, it wouldn't be able to change the situation of their Qingdao High School's lead. At most, they would keep the situation and not lose again, and he would definitely be able to keep the points.

At this moment, Eijun's belief was very firm, but the troll Daiya was really not a vegetarian, and at the end of the game, he was found a chance to reverse it.

But at this moment, the field was caught up in the excitement of scoring another run with a left-field double by Seido's third batter, Isashiki.

"Great job! Isashiki!"

"Good job! Keep going! Qingdao!"

"Qingdao! Qingdao! Qingdao!"

"Good fight! Senior Isashiki!"

"Keep running! Oh oh oh!!!"

The reason why the spectators were so excited was that it was still an out and there were people on the second and third bases, but it was the turn of the most anticipated hitter - Tetsuya Yuuki, Seidou's fourth batter.

"Go! Senior Yuki!"

"Four sticks, keep up the good work! Score points again and win the final victory, it's up to you, Yuuki!!"

"Take a hit! Yuuki!"

Not only the audience who supported Qingdao were looking forward to it, even Qingdao's team members were very confident that their captain would be able to score another point or even two points for them in this round, completely securing the victory.

Great resting area for trolls.

"Are you ready?"

Looking at Aodo who already seemed to be cheering for victory, Kozo Nitta stared indifferently ahead, and asked the cold and arrogant boy beside him.

"Humph--"

What nonsense to ask, he was already ready to play.

"I'll strike out 'em all!"

"I hope it's not just a big talk. If you look at Qingdao's first grade, it's just a point for us trolls. Don't lose to others. It's really a joke."

With a bang, Hongo's authentic aura reached its peak at this moment.

A pair of dead fish eyes stared at the supervisor who said that he was not as good as the first-year Qingdao pitcher, as if he could stare at people by doing so.

Kozo Nitta didn't care about such a youthful spirit at all, as long as he could stimulate the strength of the players to the extreme, it didn't matter what method he used, everything was for victory.

"Then, Renji, let Hongo come on stage and save our Trolls! I believe that you two will not let us down as the last barrier of our Trolls! If even you can't stop the decline , let’s get back home as soon as possible! There’s no need to compare!”

"Yes!"

The next moment, when the Qingdao side was still excited and the big troll supporters were in a downturn, there was an unusual broadcast sound on the field.

[Trolls have changed players on the field, the No. 2 catcher Aoki is off, and the No. 12 Okajo is on the field. The sixth batter, the catcher, Okajo! Pitcher No. 11 Sakata went off, No. 18 Hongo played, the seventh pitcher, pitcher, Hongo! 】

Following the announcement of the broadcast, two figures also came out of the troll's rest area, and walked towards the court step by step in the sight of the audience's uproar.

"It's changed again, and this time even the catcher has been replaced directly. It's really exaggerated. Is this the wayward version of "money" called an alternative version? It's really too extravagant, tsk tsk!"

A spectator in the stands couldn't help clicking his tongue when he saw this scene.

"Isn't that right? The four pitchers of the Trolls are all very strong. This means that the Trolls can be changed. The average team is lucky to have one."

"Never mind him! As long as the game is worth the ticket price, it's fine to change players or not, as long as the game is exciting enough."

"Hahaha! That's right! That's right!"

"The big troll closer is on the field. The first-year Hongo Masamune has the fastest ball speed of 152km/h in one hand, and the average speed is around 149km/h. There are four grids for ball control. The changing ball is currently known to have vertical sliding. ball."

At this time, Chris also looked at the information he recorded about the first-year pitcher, Troll Da, and said.

"I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to hit Yuuki this time."

"No matter how hard you try, it's fine. After all, it's definitely not easy to be sent out on such an occasion in the first grade."

Supervisor Kataoka also knows that this time the trolls will definitely not be so easy for them to score again, but whether they can score again, to be honest, although I really hope to score again, I don’t have the most regrettable offensive It's just stopped again, and I don't have any other opinions.

Just do your best.

Just like what Chris said, Masamune Hongo just entered the state as soon as he was replaced, and there was no transition period at all.

The strongest hitter against Seido, Hongo Masamune, only relied on a fast straight ball from the inside and outside corners of two balls and a slider to strike out this hitter who gave the pitcher who faced Seido a headache.

The moment Yuki was struck out, there was a moment of silence on the field.

Really, this is the fastest and cleanest solution since they watched the Qingqingdao match, it feels amazing.

Although Qingdao was also amazed at Hongo Zhengzong's strength, but after all, he had fought against Cheng Gongming from Daocheng, so they are still in the acceptable range!
After all, no matter how powerful a hitter is, he will always meet a pitcher who restrains him, but Yuuki unfortunately met him at this moment.

Yuuki, who is the strongest hitter, has been dealt with, so Masuko Toru, the fifth batter, is naturally unable to escape the fate of being struck out, and it is a clean and neat three-ball straight ball interlaced with inside and outside corners and directly strikes out.

That feeling of powerlessness is even more depressing than that of Jiang Gu Xiao, who has practiced shooting duels with the same team. Although Jiang Gu's ball speed is fast, the problem of ball control is too great. Naturally, it is relatively easy to find a good ball. .

But Hongo can be said to be the complete body of Akatsuki Fuguya, and maybe one day Fuguya can grow to that day, although it may not be possible to wait for that day, but I really feel the template of what Fuguya will look like when he grows up.

Seeing Hongo Masamune on the mound who farts worse than his junior Furutani, Masuko Toru's face was also a little stiff.

This kind of feeling of being despised is really bad, but he is indeed weak, and he really can't understand that feeling of powerlessness, not to mention that Ah Zhe was knocked out by such a direct strikeout. Compared with Ah Zhe, his blows are stronger It's worse, but...it's really uncomfortable to be looked down upon like this!

Damn boy, you are really too arrogant!

Masuko gritted his teeth and exited helplessly.

Sure enough, the juniors in my dormitory are more cute and cute.

This is the only feeling Masuko Toru has after this blow, and he can also feel that although the two juniors in his team are very talented, but their personality is really much better than that of the troll, the first grader .

So far, after losing one point, the trolls ended the game with two consecutive strikeouts by the closer Hongo Masamune who followed up the pitch.

"It's our turn next. Although we lead by two points, the troll will probably come back crazy in the next two rounds, so Miyuki, Sawamura and Yuuki must concentrate on defending with all your strength. You also saw that the troll was awarded a point by us because of a momentary carelessness, we must not repeat the same mistakes, do you understand?"

Supervisor Kataoka glanced at the disciples in front of him. To be honest, he was getting closer and closer to that position. Both he and the team members must be very excited at the moment. In addition, the current situation is that they suppressed the troll. He has been in the leading position until now, and he is also worried that the players will underestimate the opponent because they have been in the leading position. If they are caught by the troll, they will fight back, so it is better to warn and raise their vigilance.

"With only a two-point advantage, the Trolls have every chance of tying the score or even surpassing it in the two rounds. The game is not over until the second half of the ninth round!"

"Yes!"

Although the members of Qingdao were just surprised by the excellent performance of Hongo Masamune, who had just pitched in, they also widened the gap again, so they couldn't help but feel at ease. The most important is Sawamura, a pitcher who has performed well since entering Koshien.

In this game, he performed well as always. With his pitching performance, he intercepted the big attacks of the trolls very well. In addition, the position of the national champion seems to be within reach. In terms of mentality, Yuki and the others Therefore, the players are really a little unbalanced because of such a good environment.

[The first half of the eighth inning now begins...]

With the sound of the broadcast, the eighth round also officially kicked off.

It can be said that at the beginning of this round, the trolls really showed their crazy side. After all, it is already the eighth round and they are still two points behind. If they don't work hard, they will really miss the national championship.

The first hitter was the Trolls. The eighth bat had right fielder Shigeo Haruyama. On the first pitch, he swung a high straight ball from the inside corner. When he mishandled the low four-seam straight ball in the inside corner of the fifth ball, Shigeo Haruyama caught the trajectory and hit a soaring cannon, which landed along the line behind the first base. It can be said that the angle is really dangerous and dangerous, but Seidou's second baseman Ryosuke Kominato relied on his solid and powerful defensive ability to rush to the diagonally below where the baseball fell in time, and then moved sideways to catch the kill.

The first hitter, Eijun, spent five balls to win the number of outs by relying on the infielder, but the mental effort has increased a lot, and the problem of ball control errors has gradually increased.

The subsequent second hitter, Kosuke Okano, also caught Eijun's straight ball again after entangled with six balls, and hit the corner of the right field with a hard hit. It can be said that if this ball is true Landing, then a double hit must be proper.

But fortunately, the reliable Baizhou arrived in time, and a side sliding shovel stretched out his glove at the limit to catch it, scoring the second out.

The third hitter was the No. [-] Xi Hero. Facing the sneak attack last time, this time Qingdao High School could be said to have completely blocked this possibility.

But Nishi Hero's normal attack should not be underestimated. In addition, because of the troll's frequent attacks at the beginning of this round, Miyuki and Eijun didn't dare to be negligent, so every shot they threw was extremely special. The precision is in place, but it also increases the consumption of Eijun's body or left arm.

So it's been wrong again and again.

But fortunately, once again relying on the outfielder's superb defense to win the game, the process ended with a good result in the first half of the eighth inning.

With the end of this round, there are still two and a half rounds left before the end of the game. As long as they don't lose points or keep the points in the leading position in these two half rounds, they must win this pizza. up.

So they were very excited when the offense and defense were exchanged. Only Miyuki looked at Eijun with a little worry. This guy made at least four or five mistakes in the game just now, and he was caught when he made a mistake three times. Lost points.

He is hesitating whether to change, and Eijun's physical exertion seems to be very high. It seems that the troll's big attack really put a lot of pressure on this guy Sawamura, but who should continue at this time? It's not a good choice to vote.

Two points is really not enough insurance. It is very possible to tie the score in one round with one mistake. It is better for this guy Sawamura to finish the game.

No matter what Qingdou planned to do on defense in the ninth inning, the offense in the second half of the eighth inning was once again overwhelmed by the first-year pitcher Masamune Hongo, who was a big troll. , showing his strong pitching side to the fullest.

Both sides got nothing in the eighth game and entered the final ninth game with a gap of two points. There are only three possibilities for the final result.

One is that Qingdao High School maintains its advantage and wins the game to win the national championship; the other is that Troll High School turns the tables and wins the game by overtaking the score; , Qingdao High School is likely to fall into decline.

Therefore, if the Qingdao High School side wants to win the game, they must end the game in the ninth game, while the Trolls, on the other hand, need to equalize and surpass the game points in order for them to have the possibility of winning.

The ninth inning, which will finally determine the winner, is about to kick off immediately.

　Thank you Landie Caiying for your reward,
　　PS: The next update is expected to be on September 9th. Koshien’s national competition will be officially concluded. Finally, I can follow the timeline of the manga without thinking. However, the part that needs to be changed will still be changed. After all, it’s boring to be completely the same. .
