Chapter 119 Desperate

"Chicheng's bench started to move. Akira Sendō, this man is the de facto coach of this team. What kind of instructions will he give?" The commentator saw Sendō standing up and shouted loudly, and the whole audience paid attention!

But the audience could only see Xiandao walking out of the pit-like bench and pointing to the court with one hand. No one knew his arrangement, but the result was revealed in a few seconds.

"This is!!!

In the nine-man infield, after yesterday's game, Chicheng once again sent out this all-or-nothing style of play. It seemed that he was planning to fight to the death!

One point, this game is still zero hits so far, one point may be the crushing score, so Chicheng plans to decide the outcome here!

Although all Chicheng's opponents so far, the long-hit route has only just passed through the infield, and not a single ball has hit the sideline.

But this still does not affect the fact that the current situation is a desperate situation. Is the response to this desperate situation a desperate counterattack or drinking poison to quench thirst?

Let’s wait and see! "

All knowledgeable people know that there is an essential difference in the strength of the two sides. Even if they know that the nine-man infield is a reckless and crazy tactic, no one still ridicules this tactic because it is the last glimmer of hope. Most people really can't imagine such desperate efforts. The moves come out.

It can be said that this move itself is a suicidal move that goes against common sense in the baseball world, but being able to find this suicidal possibility according to the characteristics of both teams is also a kind of genius thinking in itself.

A move that is usually fatal, under certain circumstances, can also become a wonderful surprise attack like yesterday or a life-saving straw like today. The possibility of this tactic was proven by Chicheng yesterday.

Seeing this formation, the audience burst out with the loudest cheers. It had nothing to do with their stance, but it was just for the boldness of Chicheng Middle School. The coach dared to arrange for the players to dare to execute. This was enough to get applause!

Just like the teams playing in outdoor courts across Japan, a random person passing by will cheer loudly for a wonderful performance on the court. This is the charm of competitive sports.

Baseball is almost the sport with the highest tactical requirements. It is simply a simulated battlefield. The factor that determines victory or defeat comes from the command of the bench.

Different from yesterday, today's nine-man infield tactic will no longer be considered a tactic that looks down upon others, so the Tokugawa players will not become angry because of it and cause abnormal performance.

As the commentator said, Chicheng was now making a desperate move. Whether to suppress the opponent and wait for a desperate counterattack in the next game, or to drink poison to quench his thirst and directly make the game lose suspense. No one, including Xian Dao himself, knew.

He only knows that since ancient times, the weak can only defeat the strong by relying on surprise attacks. The success of the surprise attack depends more on luck. Use the opponent's unexpected surprise attack as a last-ditch effort. The game has reached this point, and there is no time to play at this time. ?

The nine-man infield was only part of the surprise attack, and the offensive part had been hidden for half a year.

"Nine-man infield! Very good! Let's compete!" Tokugawa's four sticks took a deep look at Chicheng's defense in the playing area, and his fighting spirit was obviously inspired.

At the same time, Tokugawa's defense also began to command. Although Tokugawa was a strong team, Tokugawa's coach Kunimi did not have the confidence of a strong team. After all, the attack command was frequent throughout the game.

"Stealing a base?" Xiandao thought for a moment and gave the signal to the field.

This was not what Sendao guessed, but the code deciphering that catcher Takase thought of when he hit the target in a previous practice game.

The catcher's code during the previous practice game was indeed deciphered by Xiandao, but the catcher's code was not fixed and Xiandao ignored it.

In this game, the opposing coaching staff's frequent instructions led to the bench code being deciphered.

Code deciphering is a common phenomenon in baseball games, but it is not common in student baseball. However, it may be due to the influence of occupation. Really well-established high school elites rarely give code command. Most of them rely on the judgment of the players. Such a sudden It is impossible to complete the decipherment by commanding the other party.

Because of the possibility of deciphering in professional baseball, every team has N sets of code replacements. (The plot of a professional competition in an anime super-intelligent game)

But it is very difficult for baseball students to remember a complete set of passwords. After all, they don’t have enough time, and they need to learn too much and have to attend classes. If the passwords are complex, even a set of passwords cannot be remembered by some teams in their senior year. possible. (This is the famous family that the Da Zhen protagonist team killed. Some people complained that it took them three years to memorize all the passwords)

High school team passwords are all about memorizing the passwords related to themselves first, and then slowly memorizing more.

Through observation of the entire game, the catcher and the coaching staff deciphered all the signals, and endured it until the end, risking everything to get a chance to defeat the weak at the end of the game when the opponent was the most tired.

Once it fails and the code has been deciphered, it can be surrendered.

However, only an opponent of this level could crack a simple password so quickly.

"First pitch!...Pitched!"

"Steal a base!"

"Snapped!"

"Strike!"

Takeda immediately used the technique taught by Sendō before, stood up from the ground, then stepped on his left and right feet in sequence, and used his strength to throw the ball!

This technique allows a catcher with a weak shoulder to at least be as fast as a catcher with a strong shoulder.

"Snapped!"

"Safe!" This ball is actually very dangerous. The ball and the person arrive at the same time, but they need to be touched a little slower.

Of course, it has a lot to do with Sawamura's swing-type pitching. In addition, Sawamura's ball speed is only very fast in the eyes of weak teams. In fact, the average speed is only over 120.

“Successful stolen base!!!

Although it is dangerous, he still stole the base. This is really dangerous. Now there is a zero-out runner on third base, a forced run is one point, and a high-flying sacrifice bunt is also one point. How are we going to survive this crisis? Chicheng Middle School! ! ! "

"What are you talking about? Explain!

Who wants to force points? Who's going to fly the sacrifice ball? I'm a four-pronged guy!

I want to fight out! "After hearing the explanation, Chi said in his heart.

Not only Chi's opponent, but also Chicheng's defensive formation did not waver at all and even had crazy eyes.

"Second ball!"

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"The outside world!"

……

"Damn! I get hit no matter where I throw the ball. This hitter can really fight! And Ei-chan's good and bad pitches are too obvious! I don't have Sen-chan's guidance ability, so now I can only fight head-on!" Takeda decided in his mind Determined, but he saw Xiandao giving him a code.

"Huh?" Takeda was very surprised by this code, but he executed it immediately!

"Catcher! Catcher stood up! Jingyuan! Chicheng chose Jingyuan! And it was the instructions given by the bench." In this case, Sawamura did not resist at all. He felt everyone's fighting spirit and he wanted to win!

"Bad ball! Four bad balls!"

"That's one out and three bases!"

But the surprise goes far beyond that!

“The five bats are already in place and the catcher hasn’t squatted down yet. Does he want to time out?

Why? Jingyuan? Could it be that Chicheng's previous instruction from the bench was to walk four or five at the same time?

"

Officially, after four batters, Chicheng walked five batters again, thus forming a bases full.

As we all know, the bases-loaded tactic is a high-risk, high-reward tactic. A hitter will lose a lot of runs if he hits, but in the same bases-loaded situation, there will no longer be an active base advance.

That is to say, there is no need to touch, only to catch the hit, and you can kill each batter. There are countless double plays with the bases loaded without giving up a run. Triple play is not without, and the same large number of points is lost.

Coupled with Chicheng's nine-man infield, it can be said that if it is an infield ground ball, it is likely to get a lot of outs in one go.

What's more, Chicheng is in a situation where losing one point can lead to losing the game. It can be said that one thought is heaven and the other is hell.

Originally, the nine-man infield was exciting enough, but now there was a bases-loaded tactic, and the fans at the scene had their hearts in their throats.

"We are already in the fourth round, and it was already obvious when we entered the matchup. If we are still trying to decide the winner with those center hitters, we are giving up the game. If we get a hit, we are game over!"

But since this is not as good as a duel with the weaker six bats, if I am beaten to the outfield or the infield of our nine-man infield is not easy to defend, I will admit defeat, and I must not lose points to have a chance to win? Are you kidding me?

one cent! If it was one point we would have had a chance. Two points..." Xiandao didn't agree with what the commentator said at all. Only he knew what the bottom line was.

However, this still does not hinder the fact that this situation is the climax of the entire game. It can be said that an offense and defense may determine the outcome.

"And! That Liu Bang is definitely not a big-hearted person. His pressure is also extremely huge. It's more about excitement than pressure, right? The key to victory is in his own hands. He can't be calm!

If I remember correctly the last time we were about to win, his expression was a little strange.

So, come on! Is it to turn excitement and pressure into motivation and personally secure victory for your team? Or..." Xiandao added in his heart.

"Send us to hell!"

"play!"

No matter what others say, no matter what others think, time will still continue to pass and the game will still continue to be played!

Just as Sendao thought, although everyone in Tokugawa knew the strength of the wheel, they must be stronger, and much stronger.

But no one expected that everyone in Chicheng would explode today because of what Xiandao said yesterday.

With tenacious defense, the game was forced to reach the sixth inning, and the iron wall began to show signs of collapse. Therefore, even if the batter knew the difference in strength between the two sides, he would inevitably be shaken. After all, the score was zero to zero. Fortunately, the opponent finally bounced back. Jinliangjue made his last ditch effort, and was surprised that he had to make the final decision. The pressure was too great.

Don't think that with no one out, there won't be so much pressure and the bases are loaded. If you don't play well, you may go from zero out to two out without scoring a run. Plus, they know that with their skills in hitting weird balls, It is almost impossible to hit a high-flying sacrifice hit. If the infield ground ball does not roll well, it may not even be possible to force a run.

The safest way is to force a bunt to score points, but the fielding of the nine-man infield is almost equivalent to being caught with two outs, and it is still unclear whether a score will be scored.

At this time, the difference in the coach's judgment ability is reflected. How has Coach Kunimi ever seen such a big lunatic?

He himself didn't know what to do, and he also felt that one point was not safe, so in the end he had no choice but to let the players play.

"The game has reached a critical moment, and the sincere ace is already waving his arms and preparing to throw!"

"Bad ball!"

“Inside corner! But it’s off the strike zone, so it’s a bad ball!

The pitcher had no intention of giving the batter too much time. When he saw the batter standing still, he was about to throw the second pitch! "

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball! Two!"

"This ball is from the outside corner, but it is not lowered at all. It can be said to be a high ball from the outside corner! This pitcher's ball control is terrible!

But Chicheng's defense gave enough support to get this team to where it is now! "

The commentator didn't know Sawamura's ball quality at all. Similarly, Sawamura's ball speed couldn't be said to be slow for a junior high school student, and he wasn't a pitcher who could easily hit the ball. Therefore, he felt that the team's ability to reach the third round was largely attributed to its defense. , especially yesterday’s nine-man infield that allowed them to win in a deathmatch.

"The next ball is an inside corner. It doesn't matter if it's easier to hit, but it must be in the strike zone!" Takeda has already given instructions for the third ball.

……

"Phew!" After a brief silence, the third ball raced like home plate!

"Inside corner? And it's easy to hit!" The six-bat hitter, who was under great pressure, started to swing excitedly!

But excitement, tension, and pressure may cause problems in physical performance. He played too anxiously.

"Ping!"

"It was a hit! But it wasn't a good hit. It was just a grounder. Damn it, right in front of the second baseman!

home base! Out! The ball is passed to third base again, out! Double kill! ! !

Beautiful defense, Chicheng Junior High School survived! With no outs and the bases loaded, it only took three balls to turn it into two outs, one and two!

Moreover, the batter's swing was obviously a little anxious. Sure enough, not ordinary people can maintain normal performance under this kind of pressure. "

Due to the intense fielding action, when commenting on the game, I could only use quick and short words such as home plate and out to keep up with the white balls flying rapidly all over the field. After everything settled, I used a longer sentence to summarize.

(Personally, I hate the kind of game commentators who explain the movements in seconds. The commentators can say a long paragraph to analyze the movements clearly. Some of them can change several expressions and thoughts, and some even despise and then slap the face in a still flow of time. Explanation! Please give me less than a second. Who can say so many words and have so many thoughts?)

In fact, the process in the field is very simple. The batter did not hit the ball well due to nervousness, and the ball became the ball in front of the second baseman. The infield moved forward and was very close to home plate, so the second baseman passed the ball to the home plate and the third base ran to the home plate. The runner is thrown out, the catcher passes to third base and the runner running to third base is out. The batter and first base runner are on base and run to first and second base respectively.

Since this whole process lasts only 3 seconds, even if the final commentator took a few seconds to finish the last sentence, the commentator only said 15 words.
