King's Green Road

Chapter 356 Part340 Advances to the Quarterfinals
Eijun knew that the power and speed were not small when he saw the ball speeding in his direction, so he made a rough judgment and ran back dully.

No matter what, the ball must be caught.

It's rare that the little friend has successfully thrown the ball so far without disaster. If the ball goes out, it will definitely affect that guy, and he has to stop it.

Naturally, Qingdao didn't want more twists and turns at this time, and watched nervously. Tojo and Hakushu in the center field also rushed over to support.

Rong Chun pushed to the side of the wall and turned around to look at the ball Yu Wei, it seemed that he would not land on the field at all!

tsk—

No way, time waits for no one. Eijun also climbed up the railing of the left field stand, and then waited for the ball that was already close at hand, looked at the approximate direction, and jumped forward vigorously to catch the ball.

"Oh oh oh-"

Seeing such defense, the audience couldn't help but exclaim.

It seems that not only Ujiumori's side wants to break the deadlock and score, even Qingdao's side is unwilling to let the opponent score easily even if they lead the opponent by a large score!
"Snapped"

"boom"

Eijun was lucky enough to catch the ball, but he himself fell to the ground suddenly from a height of more than one meter.

"out"

Even so, the referee also saw the baseball that Eijun was firmly holding in the glove at the moment, and Seiichi Umemiya, as the hitter, was undoubtedly out.

Mei Gong Shengyi didn't expect that the opponent would go so hard, it was simply unbelievable, and most of his blows were in vain.

The sound of a solid impact was exceptionally loud.

Qingdao was a little worried and nervous. If the ace was injured again because of catching a ball, it would not be worth the candle!
The Ukumori runner who was originally on the first base started to run after seeing the ball hit. After running for half a distance, when he saw the ball was caught, his expression changed instantly and he rushed back to the original base. After stepping on the base, he gritted his teeth and ran to the third base as fast as he could before stepping on the base, because the home run was thought to be a chance to score and he ran the base, but in the end he was caught and killed like this. It would be nice to be able to reach third base so as not to be banned from re-stepping and running again.

The result was that he suddenly saw the base finger and asked him to continue running, not to stop at the third base. He was stunned for a moment, but when he believed in his teammates, he rushed forward without thinking much, and ran to the third base. base went.

At the moment when he saw that the runner on first base was infinitely close to third base, Ei Jun just got up with the ball firmly, and Miyuki couldn't help but watch anxiously.

Hiss, this one is strong enough.

Eijun gritted his teeth secretly. Although he adjusted his posture as much as possible when he fell, it didn't cause much impact, but it still hurts!
After all, he is made of meat, the ground and him are of course harder.

But after catching the ball, he suddenly had an idea on a whim, that he could get rid of the runner on the base by the way!
But the timing must be just right!

So he got up late on purpose to give Ukusen an illusion.

After getting the measure right, he saw the runner who was one step away from the third base, estimated it, and when he confirmed that his speed did not decrease after rushing to the third base, Eijun smiled slightly, and quickly passed the ball in his hand. .

"call out"

When Ukumori's runner suddenly felt a few steps away from home plate, he felt a chill in the back of his head, with a sense of foreboding.

"Snapped"

A shadow of the ball entered the glove of the waiting catcher first.

Seeing the oncoming runner Miyuki also felt a big stone fall to the ground, and immediately reached out and killed Ukumori's third stick.

"Out!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Good job! Miyuki!"

"Master Ace's biography is great!"

"Great!!"

In the blink of an eye, the baseball that seemed to be going out was caught and killed by Seidou's ace Eijun, and took advantage of the opportunity to take down Ukumori's runner on the base.

With no one out and someone on first base, it became two outs in an instant between such a batting bench, and no one hit base, and the greatest credit for all of this was Eijun.

"Jinggu! Two out! There is one more, come on!"

Eijun shouted happily to Furutani on the mound in the outfield.

"one left!!"

Meigong Shengyi returned to the rest area unwillingly.

"Sorry, didn't expect this to happen!"

While saying these words, his hands clenched tightly.

"I didn't expect that the other party would use such a strategy to lure us into the bait, and you did a good job with that attack. It can only be said that our luck was a little bit unlucky, and the opponent's strength is even better! "

Nanpeng shook his head gently and comforted him.

"Didn't we know this before the game? This is the winning team in the country. No matter how many arrangements are made in advance, it cannot be guaranteed 100%.

The autumn competition this time may be difficult, but the good thing is that this time the competition is not our most important focus for us. Although we are behind, we don’t need to be too frustrated. The summer of the coming year is ours. The focus of everything that needs to be spelled out!The most important thing for everyone is to enjoy the game to the fullest!
The same is true for you, Amei. No matter what the final result of this game is, we have really learned a lot. You don’t have to have too much psychological burden. As an ace, you are already very good! "

"Nan Peng..."

Damn, why can't it be done!
Looking at Matsubara Nanpeng who comforted him as usual, Umemiya Seichi and the players in the rest area Ukumori also stared blankly at their "military adviser", the real spiritual pillar of the team.

"That's right, the game is not over yet!"

"It is! It is!"

"You can't just let Qing Dao end the game so easily!"

"That's right!"

Looking at the people cheering up again, Matsubara Nanpeng also smiled knowingly. With such a group of teammates who really think about him, he felt that his unfortunate life had the happiest moment because of this.

Regardless of whether I can go to that place with everyone in the end, being able to play baseball with everyone is the luckiest thing.

"Boom"

"strike out!"

At this moment, the fifth bat on the field was also taken out by Jiang Gu.

"Three outs, switch offense and defense!"

At this time, the score difference is still seven points, and it has not narrowed.

The game also came to the seventh inning.

In the first half of the seventh inning, Seidou High School attacked, and this time the lead hitter was Hideaki Tojo at the seventh bat.

[Seven sticks, the backbone, Tojo! 】

If the point difference in this game widens again and Ukumori's side can't get closer, the game will end early.

"call--"

Mei Gong Shengyi let out a long breath, squeezed the turpentine powder bag, and stuffed it into the back pocket of his trousers. Maybe they were going to lose this game, but they gave up the game so easily without reason.

"Snapped"

"nice shot"

On the first slow curveball, Tojo Hideaki made a misjudgment, swung too fast, missed the swing, and was scored a strike number.

"bang"

"boom"

The second ball was a straight ball with a high inner corner. Tojo Hideaki, who only stared at the straight ball, hit the ball this time, but he still hesitated to swing the bat due to the impact of the drop.

"Throw-in"

Hit in the direction of third base, then jumped out of the infield and fell out of bounds.

Hideaki Tojo didn't expect to throw the ball in such an orderly manner after being beaten like this. This person is unexpectedly difficult to deal with!

Then he won Hideaki Tojo's number of outs with a powerful curveball on the third ball, and successfully got the first number of outs first.

"Out!"

Looking at Tojo who had been knocked out, Qingdao didn't expect Ukumori to deal with it so calmly, without any sense of depression being crushed.

"Let Kawakami continue to vote in the next game!"

After thinking about it for a while, Kataoka Director decided to change the cast.

So far, Jiang Gu has hit more than 110 pitches under the intentional entanglement of the opponent. In addition, Jiang Gu himself is a strikeout player, and the number of balls used is really high. So far, they have suppressed the opponent.

It is also a good idea to switch casts at this time.

Ochiai Hiromitsu also understands that Supervisor Kataoka will have such an arrangement for future games. Since there are multiple pitchers and the advantage of the situation, there is really no need to only catch one overuse at such a moment.

So I agreed in my heart, so I didn't say much.

After all, in his opinion, Ujisen's strength is just a little better than average.

Jianggu was also informed of the bad news very quickly, and the whole person felt bad, how could such a thing happen!

I thought I could say it all.

The highlights of the whole person are gone at this moment, and they are all gray and defeated.

Eijun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He only admired Jiang Gu when he pitched the wheel. No one is more persistent than him. Of course, except for himself in the previous life, after all, he is also a person who wants to express himself all the time. .

Before Kawakami knew that he could play, he had already warmed up in the bullpen and Hiroshi Ono in advance as usual and was ready to play at any time.

And at this moment on the court, Ukumori also went three-ups, three-downs, seven-eight-nine hits, and survived the chance that Qingdao might increase the score.

The next round is whether they can break Qingdao's strong defense and narrow the point difference to within seven points, continuing to play nine rounds.

[The game is now in the second half of the seventh inning, and Ukumori is attacking! 】

When Ukumori's sixth batter was ready to play, there was movement on Qingdao's side, and then the broadcast also explained what he was going to do.

[Qido High School changed players on the field, No. 11 pitcher Furuya was changed to No. 10 Kawakami, the sixth pitcher, Kawakami! ! ! 】

"Swapped?!"

"Hey, isn't Jiang Gu a good shot? Why did you change players like this at this time? I want to continue to see Jiang Gu's good shots."

"I guess it's because of pitcher fatigue!"

"Indeed, Jiang Gu has thrown more than 100 balls so far."

"But I didn't expect to change the trump card?"

"Hahaha, the point difference is right there!"

Ujisen's expression can't be said to be good or bad. The point difference is enough for the opponent to change shots, and he is in an absolute leading position.

The second half of the seventh inning officially begins! ! !
"Kawakami, solve them one by one!"

"Take it easy!"

"Come on! Ah Xian!"

Kenshi Kawakami looked at Ukumori's sixth club and let out a long breath.

Seeing the signal made by Miyuki, he nodded.

The first ball cuts the edge of the strike zone in the outer corner. The ball control can be said to be extremely good, and the ball is well thrown to the corner.

"Snapped"

"nice shot"

Glancing at the ball he swung in the air, Ujisen frowned slightly on the sixth stick. According to the data, this pitcher is a pitcher who throws out and makes people hit and get outs. He also has good ball control, which is rare. There are good shots coming up.

However, compared to the last pitcher who puts equal emphasis on both speed and power, there are pros and cons in every aspect!

The straight ball with the high inner corner of the second ball, throw it here!
Kawakami nodded, raised his legs and stepped forward, turned his waist while keeping his lower body still, concentrated his strength on his arms, and threw it out instantly.

"bang"

"boom"

The inside corner kick immediately after the outside corner kick gave Ukumori a gap in the sixth bat, and he failed to hit it well, and flew to the first base and landed out of bounds.

"Fouls!"

As soon as he entered the field, Kawakami chased the batter with his own pitch.

Kawakami-senpai is in very good condition, this round can be over without points, as long as Ukumori is not given a chance, they have nothing to do.

Eijun was still very apprehensive, the point difference at the beginning could be almost evened by Ukumori's strong momentum of breaking the boat, and he still remembers some games so far!

The second ball, a low ball from the inside corner!

Don't hit the strike zone, just a little bit off.

"bang"

"boom"

The ball smacked the bat and flew to the infield at first base, and then quickly jumped out. When trying to intercept in the front garden, it landed first and flew away.

"Fouls!"

Then Miyuki asked Kawakami to throw a slider that he was good at, and finished off the opponent.

"Snapped"

"nice shot!"

When Ukumori's sixth bat was annoyed with the bat that was swinging empty, he would miss it, damn it!With only two outs left, their Ukusen's autumn competition is really about to end! !
With the number of three outs, Qingdao easily got the first one, and the mood of Ukumori's side has become sluggish to the naked eye.

No matter how many words they said, the facts in front of them told them.

Especially in the face of the opponent's newly replaced pitcher, their Ukumori hitters had their turn to hit the line in this inning, which was really unfavorable.

The seventh bat was chased by Kawakami by cutting the corners of the pitch, and he had no choice but to hit the shortstop with a frontal ground ball, and was directly blocked by Kuramochi at first base.

"Out!"

Currently two outs, no one on base, the score is 7:0! ! !

As long as he gets one more out, Aomichi can be confirmed to advance to the quarter-finals, and Ukumori is also on the verge of elimination.

As soon as Ujisen's eighth shot came on the field, the pressure was actually very high, the team's last hope!If you fail to get a hit, you really lose.

"Start pitching!!!"

The first ball was lobbed inside the corner, chipping the edge of the strike zone.

"boom"

The ball flew to the back of home plate, hit the fence and fell.

"Fouls!"

Ukumori adjusted his stance nervously for the eighth bat, and unconsciously tightened his hand holding the bat.

The second ball, the slider in the direction of the outside corner.

Ukusen's eighth bat swing failed, and he chose the wrong ball. If he didn't swing the bat, it would be a proper bad ball. Ukusen's eighth bat was naturally aware of it, and he was very upset. Why was he nervous? Did you swing your bat unconsciously? ! !
"nice shot"

For the third ball and the fourth ball, both sides were trying to find opportunities in a see-saw style.

But it's a pity that I couldn't choose a ball that looked good to play. It took a lot of effort to get entangled so that I didn't get it.

But... Ukumori's eighth stick is passive as the one being chased, but Qingdou is active.

On the fifth ball, Miyuki asked Kawakami to throw a sinker again without hesitation!
Such a ball is not so easy to play.

The results also proved that this is indeed true. This time, Ukusen just swung the eighth bat like this and watched the baseball and the bat gradually converge, and then the distance became farther and farther away. The baseball escaped the attack of the bat and went smoothly. In the back catcher's glove.

"Snapped"

"strike out!!!"

At this moment, everyone in Ukusen had only one thought in mind, it was over!
It's really over!
Some people are annoyed and some are unwilling, but everything still cannot be changed.

"competition is over--!"

[After the pitch, Kawakami only allowed the three hitters of Ukumori to attack, successfully prevented the final attack, and won the game! ! ! 】

"great!"

"OK--!!!"

"Hahaha, I won!!"

"Advanced!!"
