King's Green Road

Chapter 321 Chris and Ace from Part309

The top half of the four innings also started.

Although Miyuki had told him to create as many chances as possible to get on base and score, Hikasa still had a bit of a hard time facing Tanba, Seido's former ace who was still in good condition, and was caught by Goofy despite trying his best up.

As the pioneer, the first bat Kuramochi showed his presence in this inning. After two consecutive balls duel, he caught a straight ball that was easy to hit and hit it hard, reaching first base.

"It's out!"

"Hahaha, good job Kuramo!"

"Go on! Go on!"

It is not so easy for him to be number one in Qingdao and get knocked out again and again. His future is not in front of him!

[Second bat, second baseman, Chunshi! 】

As the second bat, Chunshi still made the third graders fearful, but they couldn't fully concentrate on the duel with him, just because there was a runner who fouled his feet and was eyeing him at first base.

As soon as Kominato Haruichi came on stage, he saw the hint in his partner's dark eyes.

He calmly stood on the strike zone, and began to prepare for the strike. When there was no warning, Kuramochi suddenly stole the base.

"Safe on base!"

Then under the blocking kill, he easily hit the base first.

"Aha!!"

He got up from the base bag and patted the dust off his body, and let out a cry of joy.

This guy, who has been restrained so many times, actually reacts so quickly, stealing bases without fear of death, it is really difficult to deal with!

"Cheer up, Spring City!"

"keep going!"

Holding the bat, Chunshi glanced at his brother's figure standing in front of him. This may be the last time he and his brother will be on the stage in high school. He doesn't want to have no performance in this game!
"clatter"

What, actually hit? !

Tanba and Miyauchi Keisuke at the home plate were stunned, watching the baseball fly over Tanba's head towards center field.

"Snapped"

A pink figure jumped up, and the straightened ball sleeve just intercepted it, saving the possibility of losing points that was likely to be inevitable.

How dangerous!
Kuramochi hastily returned to second base in the nick of time.

He is really as reliable as ever, Liangsang.

Kuramochi glanced apprehensively at Ryosuke Kominato who was still smiling at the moment, he was indeed a scary guy.

Kominato Haruichi glanced at his brother and had to be convinced, so that he could defend against the sudden blow with all his strength.

"You really deserve to be a third-year player!"

"That's right. After all, they are the main force to win the Koshien Championship. It's only normal to have such a performance."

"But I have to say it's really amazing!"

"It's almost impossible to see that this was what was once called a bad year."

"Yes!"

Indeed, they are really powerful, these third-year players.

Ochiai Hiromitsu saw the performance of this group of third-year players. Even if he had heard that this year's third-year players were students in a poor harvest year, he had to say that he couldn't tell at all, no matter what aspect of attack or defense he put in. All the top giants are first-class talents.

And he still thinks about the supervision of the team to teach them. Perhaps Kataoka's supervision really has a particularly good side in teaching students!

For example, some passionate actions in the game and the character considered for the players.

At this time, Ochiai Hiromitsu felt that he really needed to take a good look at how this supervisor, who in his opinion was too young and inexperienced in teaching, managed to have such a reputation in the team.

After all, this is something you can't get.

"Two outs!"

With the help of his teammates, Danba met Hakushu with two outs, and Hakushu can now be said to have secured his position as a base clearer.

The performance is as stable as ever.

With someone on second base and two outs, Hakushu performed very well this time. After the two strikes were chased, seeing the third ball flying over, Hakushu swung his bat without hesitation.

Although the RBI was a little shallow, it was still successful.

The task of continuing the scoring was handed over to Miyuki.

There were people on the first and third bases, and Danbo ushered in a moderate loss crisis.

"Hush—"

Under Tamba's words, the baseball was thrown without hesitation.

"bang"

The baseball flew towards the position behind him.

"Fouls!"

Tanba-senpai's straight ball today is really amazing!

Miyuki wasn't fully sure at this time, after all, the game had reached the fourth round, and Tanba-senpai's condition had been maintained very well.

In other words, it is only the best time.

But after all, he has been catching Tanba-senpai's baseball as a catcher for about two years, and he can only say that it is certain whether he will be able to score hits.

Just because...it's too familiar.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile a little.

This guy is still laughing even though he is behind in the number of goals. Danbo, let's solve this annoying junior together!

Danbo nodded.

Just use this ball to decide the game. It is similar to the trajectory of a straight ball, and it is similar to a finger ball that sinks and falls in the hitter's hand.

"bang"

Look, just like this ball, the finger cross is so sharp, the timing and angle of the change are so appropriate, but I have personally caught the catch, I can't understand it, so how could I miss it!

I didn't expect such a confident ball to be hit by Miyuki.

"hateful!"

Was actually caught by this guy——

Danbo's complexion changed a bit, he was so confident, he shot such a good shot and was hit like this, it's no wonder it's not ugly.

Especially the one who was going to give this guy some flair with Miyauchi just now, but it turned out that the junior got flirted back.

The baseball fell in the direction of the center field with an unstoppable trend, sending the warehouse back to the home plate for scoring in one fell swoop, and at the same time advancing the base pack.

The score was evened to 2:2, and the situation was still two outs, but it was a situation where there were people on the first and second bases. It can be said that there is still a chance to score again, but I don’t know if the next hitters can continue this chance to hit the line .

"Oh, well done Miyuki!"

"As expected of Master Four!"

"Go on! Falling Valley!"

"It's great, the fun is only now beginning, seniors, don't underestimate us, we are not easy to bully!"

Looking at the arrogant first and second graders, the third graders were also stunned.

This is planning an uprising, and I thought it would shrink to the end.

"Bastard! Don't underestimate us seniors, it's just a tie, don't be too happy!"

"that is!"

"Be careful of being too aggressive, the boat capsized!"

When both sides are up and attacking and defending each other, the situation is really going back and forth, not one-sided.

However, Eijun, who was called by Miyuki to warm up before, did not immediately put it into action. Sometimes it is best to leave the surprise until the end.

The competition between the first and second grades and the third grade also came to the second half of the sixth game as time passed.

At this time, if you look closely at the scoreboard, you can see that although the active players tried their best to counterattack in the fourth game, but Tanba, who was feeling hot, and the first-class defensive players, the active players only scored one point.

However, in the second half of the inning, the third-year players also failed to score points in the hands of Yu Gu, and were given a zero block by Yu Gu's full pitch.

In the fifth game, both sides had zero gains, and it was still a draw.

The breakthrough was broken again in the sixth inning, and both sides pried open the defensive gates of the pitchers of both sides this time and scored a point.

And now it's the second half of the sixth inning. After the active players scored a point in the first half of the inning, the third-year players in the second half of the inning also launched a swift attack on Kawakami who followed up the pitch. Yes, in the second half of the fifth inning Still, he replaced the unwilling Fugu from the mound, and successfully scored a point in the hands of Kawakami who continued to throw, and the offense was not over yet.

With two outs, this one hitter was Miyauchi.

However, after Kawakami lost a point, he quickly adjusted to deal with him, and successfully ended the round at the cost of losing a point.

From the first half of the seventh inning to the second half of the eighth inning, both sides had hits, but at the moment of scoring, they were all intercepted by the solid defense of both sides, and they all ended with zero points.

It can be said that Kawakami, who was cast after the investment, is so strong against the third grade, and it is really quite reliable to be able to stabilize the situation in such a calm and stable way with full firepower.

Although the onlookers said a lot of praise about Kawakami's pitching, Miyuki didn't quite agree.

Being able to stabilize in such a situation, the biggest credit is not all because of Ah Xian's exceptionally good pitching, but because of the relationship between the defensive fielders on the field and the relationship between Yuki-senpai who escaped from the fourth bat This kind of result is the result of the duel, otherwise the scores would not be so evenly divided.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Kawakami.

Kenshi Kawakami, who is now off the field, can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Faced with such a fight, Kawakami is really under a lot of pressure.

At the beginning of the first half of the ninth inning, the bleak former garden who had been suppressed hit the first home run of the game this time, which surprised everyone.

"bang"

The hit stick drew a white arc in the air, and in the eyes of everyone, it hit the high fence of the stadium.

"Hahaha, former garden-senpai hit a home run!"

"Wow, the speed of running the bases is too fast! Hahaha, I have hit a home run, there is no need to be so exaggerated!"

"Maenen/Maenen-senpai calm down!"

Amid everyone's good-natured ridicule and words, Qianyuan was dragging his huge body and shouting desperately to run forward, as if he was afraid of being blocked.

Hmph... finally hit the ball that suits my own style!You don't have to deliberately imitate my way of hitting to the right, just follow your own style. After all, you are a typical puller!

Isashiki is very pleased at this moment that this junior who admires him finally played his own style at the end of the game, and he didn't sink completely, which is really great.

But what's the matter with that useless expression? ! !
Tears and snot flowed out, eh——

"You bastard, you've already hit a home run, and your expression is too useless. It's really embarrassing. Wipe away my tears and snot!"

After Qianyuan returned to the rest area, he also received praise from his teammates.

"Great job, Mae Sono!"

"Hahaha, Senior Qianyuan played really well!"

"That way we're one point ahead!"

At this time, Supervisor Kataoka also silently glanced at the front garden, and couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Oh, you actually played your own style!I thought it was a guy who couldn't get up, but it was really an accident!
Ochiai Hiromitsu paused slightly while stroking his beard, thinking.

But the overall impression of Kenta Maezono hasn’t changed much. After all, it’s just such a one-time performance. It’s nothing. Many players will have such a bright moment once or twice. Turning it into your own use is the most important thing.

So when Maezono didn't show enough talent to impress him, Hiromitsu Ochiai still didn't think that Maezono was the most suitable starter.

At this moment, Miyuki who was still in the rest area looked at Eijun.

"Come warm up with me. After the offensive and defensive exchange, I will arrange for you to play! In your condition, we should warm up moderately. After all, we are still recovering and the number of pitches is still limited!"

"no problem!"

Eijun smiled slyly, and followed Miyuki to the direction of the cowshed.

The active players all glanced at the shooting and catching combination with complicated expressions. I think the seniors in the third grade will be surprised at such a moment.

Although Ace is recovering, they believe that the final victory will definitely belong to them, because they will guard the rear so that Ace has no worries.

There is even more confidence in the strength of the trump card.

After all, they had talked like that before Ace.

"Everyone is a player who can't lose to the third-year seniors. They all have absolute first-class strength. Whether it is Kuramochi-senpai... your performance is superb. As the trump card, I feel that it is great to have you guarding me behind me."

So we must not let their ace down!

Be sure to win the game! ! !

But after a while, in the first half of the ninth inning, after scoring a point in the front garden, the third-year players also gave their best support to their pitchers and scored the third out, ending the defense of this inning. .

Isashiki, who returned to the rest area, drank the water handed to him by his teammates, but his eyes were always on the side of the active team members. He quickly discovered something that he hadn't noticed during the fierce competition just now, that is...

"puff--"

Seeing that scene, Isashiki couldn't help spraying.

"Hey, Chun, what's the matter with you?!"

Almost, Nanmu was affected by Isashiki's miraculous move. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been miserable.

"Ahem... look at the cowshed opposite!"

Isashiki adjusted his choked throat, pointed in the direction of the cowshed and said incredulously.

The third-year players were all attracted by Isashiki's surprised tone and looked over.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth twitched and he looked in disbelief.

True or false, isn't it healed after being injured?This is what Chris, who is in charge of the basic rehabilitation training for Sawamura, said it himself!
Then he turned his attention to Chris who was at the side, and looked at him with a slightly complicated look, not knowing what his client was thinking.

Any ideas? ! !
Chris' gentle appearance at this moment almost couldn't hold back.

The corners of the smiling mouth were about to collapse slightly, not only in shock, but also in an unknown feeling of loss and anger.

He believed that Eijun would be able to pitch. After all, it was related to future injuries, so there was no way to joke about it, but he just temporarily handed Eijun over to Miyuki in the past week because of issues such as academic advancement and his own rehabilitation.

Unexpectedly, Eijun was able to pitch in such a short time.

Obviously asked Miyuki to tell Eijun everything about his recovery, but actually concealed something from him, they are really two good students!
"Well... I didn't expect Eijun to mature now!"

Chris sighed, and said sadly, seemingly calmly.

"I don't think this is very good, and everyone will have no regrets."

The third-grade team members: Don’t think we can’t hear it. Doesn’t it mean that the children are getting older and start to have their own little secrets and don’t listen to adults.

In order to comfort Chris who was stabbed in the back by two juniors, everyone uttered harsh words in the rest area.

"That's right, show them a good look later, don't think that ace can be arrogant when you play, just blow them up!"

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

"It's just a one-point lead."

"..."

"Then next, let me be the first one to play instead!" At this moment, Chris said quietly.

"Uh...of course!"

"That's right!"

Although I didn't expect Chris to take the initiative to ask for it, everyone thought that Chris was not going to play in the ninth game. After all, most of the players were put on by Chris to experience it, except himself.

But since they have made such a proactive request, there is no reason for them to disagree!

Although they were [-]% sure that it was Chris' impromptu idea, just because they were backstabbed by two juniors who were so close to them and they liked, they just wanted to let the juniors understand the majesty of the seniors.

Of course, they are not stupid, and they will not say it or even show it!
So they all tacitly said that they understood.

And Chris's real thought is very simple, that is, since there is no way to cooperate in the last game of high school, since there is a chance for a duel, then he must go up.

It's not that I'm angry at being concealed and cheated by my dear student.

Maybe he was a little angry at the beginning, but then the idea he wanted to achieve was to have a head-to-head confrontation with his promising junior in this last high school game, as a commemoration between them.

Since there is no way to throw his best shot in his glove, then throw the best shot and let him hit it!
Under such circumstances, the game began in the second half of the ninth inning.

When Eijun went to the bullpen to warm up, the emotions of the surrounding crowd were once again high. They thought that this game would be like this, but they did not expect that there would be such a surprise at the last moment.

Now that I'm warming up, I'm sure I'll be on stage in the last game.

It was strange that Eijun, who was the trump card before, did not appear in the three qualifying games. Many people even speculated whether he had suffered some serious hidden injury in the summer Koshien game and needed to recuperate.

Since it will appear now, it is gone.

After all, watching his warm-up pitching state is very good, there is no problem.

So when I saw Eijun on the mound, I watched enthusiastically, looking forward to what the ace Eijun's first open pitching performance after the summer would be like.

Director Kataoka frowned slightly when Eijun came on stage.

He didn't know if he was trying to be brave or if he could really play.

"There is no problem with supervision, it's just the last half of the inning. After all, no matter what the score is, there won't be a playoff, right? Sawamura can still play."

Miyuki naturally noticed the disapproving expression when he told the supervisor to change Eijun to play, so he explained it.

After all, I don't want the supervisor to think that they are messing around and worry about it.

Glancing at Miyuki's serious expression, Director Kataoka nodded, approving the change of pitch to let Eijun play.

He still believed that his disciples would not joke about such a big matter.

It really is the long-lost pitcher's mound.

Eijun stepped on the ground under his feet, and his heart beat extraordinarily fast, not because of nervousness, but because of the excitement and impatience that was finally satisfied.

The smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be restrained from getting bigger.

"The ace actually played at this time!"

"It was really a worthwhile trip. I thought this game would be like this. I didn't expect such a surprise in the end!"

"Hahaha! That's right!"

"I'm really looking forward to what the pitching of this famous first-year ace of Koshien will be like."

"It's definitely worth looking forward to."

The surrounding audience is also talking about it.

"Eijun vote for them!"

"Sawamura! The first hitter is very important!" The words were particularly turbulent, because it was from Maedo who hit the only home run of the game.

"Let's deal with them one by one!"

At the moment when the active players are cheering on their aces, the hitters from the third grade are also ready to make their debut.

"Don't be merciful just because you have a good relationship!"

Miyauchi looked at Chris who was about to play, and said something lightly.

"Fix this pair of arrogant juniors, Chris."

"Don't worry, I will!"

Chris smiled slightly and took the bat to the field.

"Sawamura! We're going to deploy our secret weapon! Don't think that you can be arrogant just because you're the ace, so you just obediently accept your fate!"

At this time, Isashiki also yelled harsh words at Eijun on the mound with a ferocious face, trying to influence or suppress this junior.

But this can only be said to really want peach.

Eijun just smiled slightly at this, nodded to express his understanding, and did not hesitate because of Isashiki's specious and arrogant words.

However, Isashiki's attempt was satisfied at the next moment.

"Our first hitter is replaced! Chris will play instead!"

After finishing speaking, Isashiki was very refreshed, tsk tsk~ Chris's influence is extraordinary, and Sawamura, who had remained unchanged just now, has also changed.

Eijun looked at senior Chris who walked into the strike zone with complicated eyes.

It's finally time for their first official duel!

　Thank you Lin Bustard for your reward, thank you for your support
