Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 135 Ending early

"Are you kidding me? This is...a junior high school student?" The catcher looked dully at the direction the ball flew out.

The other fielders held the brim of their hats with one hand, and the runners on the bases screamed and ran back to home plate. Only Sendao threw the bat casually, lowered his head and slowly ran back to home plate, without any fluctuation in his heart!

It's a problem for him that this kind of ball can't be hit. It's a straight ball in the outside corner and it also enters the strike zone.

When the catcher decided that Sendō was nervous, he hoped to use a straight ball to earn strikes, but the result was a fatal blow!

"That's it! That's why this team is so obsessed with piling up runners before the four-base ball!

Has the runner’s confidence in this hitter even reached this level? "Coach Damen watched all this with great interest!

Four to zero is indeed a big difference, and the opponent's pitcher also has a weird ball that is difficult to deal with!

Coach Damen is looking forward to how his players will deal with this pressure.

"Pa!" At this time, Xiandao had already finished running all the bases and returned to home plate!

"Nice strike, Sen-chan!"

"It's really awesome!"

With an unchanging expression, Sendō high-fived his teammates one after another.

"Don't forget it! One month!" When I walked in front of Sawamura, I didn't forget to remind him!

"Really! Don't worry! I won't break my promise!" Sawamura smiled.

……

"Hahaha! Look, let me hit a big one too! Home run!" After a brief silence, a confident Sawamura appeared out of nowhere and walked towards the hitting area with a pace that he didn't recognize!

"How is it possible for you to hit for free and lose outs? Such a good situation!" Xiandao thought to himself!

However, because Sawamura walked too fast, Sendao could only give him a secret signal!

"Nani? You guy, are you afraid that I will steal your limelight!" Sawamura was very unhappy, but he still obeyed!

Although I complained about the unfairness of immortality in my heart!

"Change your mood!" At this time, the catcher had recovered and began to comfort his partner!

"That's right! There can't be two of those monsters. It's enough to suppress the next attacker with peace of mind!"

"You are indeed experienced! But this blow cannot have no impact at all!" Xiandao said to himself as he looked at Fukasawa who had cheered up.

First goal!

"Ding!"

"Nani? A safe strike with five sticks?" The defender was caught off guard when he saw Sawamura's strike!

"Snapped!"

"Safe!" So the guy suddenly got on base.

"Damn it! This team keeps attacking us!"

But the game goes on!

The six-bat Omura is also ready in the strike zone!

As the third-highest hitter after Sendō and Kondo, he also possesses strong attack power!

Because of Sawamura's five-ball bunt, Fukasawa was very afraid of bunts. The straight ball was aimed and hit by Omura, and Sawamura was able to reach third base!

After that, the straight ball was aimed again, and Dashan once again hit a timely hit, so the fifth point was obtained.

And zero outs.

But this fifth point actually inspired the opponent's fighting spirit!

Thinking about the changeup, although Takeda was put on base due to an error and the next three outs were secured, it was already the second round of the batting line.

The next game starts with three sticks, which means it's Sendō's turn again, and the pioneer is still beating Kondo!

Not only that, Fukasawa's pitcher also threw a lot of pitches. After all, he faced 11 batters at once!

"Don't worry, we will get your points back for you!" When the court changed, Fukasawa's players also began to encourage their ace!

"5 points? In fact, seeing how smoothly the game went, I wanted to end it early! Everyone's training has just ended and we are very tired!

I haven't seen it yet during attack, but if there are more rounds, the defense will start to decrease!

However, Eijun is in great condition! It should be no problem! "Xiandao was thinking while putting on his armor and looking at the opponent's bench.

So the first half of the second inning started, and Fukasawa's lead batter was a four-bat batter!

"Get out!"

"One hit, please!" There were also voices from the bench cheering for their four bats.

In the last game, Chicheng showed his strength and scored 5 points in one breath, but the opponent's four sticks had not hit yet. If he was hit, it was hard to say whether he would win or lose.

"Come on! Suppress these four sticks and completely control the rhythm of the game!" Xiandao put on his gloves and said secretly!

"I know! This kind of thing! This is the only thing I can do, isn't it?" Sawamura knew better than anyone else.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Forehead!"

The batter can't hit the pitch to the outside corner, even though the ball path can't be lowered.

However, if the ball speed is not slow and the ball is quirky, as long as it enters the strike zone, ordinary hitters will not be able to make a shot.

"How lucky! The ball actually came in! So!" Xiandao also secretly said that he was lucky, and also mourned for the opponent's already shaken batter!

"Snapped!"

"Good ball!" This ball is from the inside corner!

However, it is called an inner corner, but it is just inward from the center.

"It won't work! It won't work! We have to swing!" Sawamura, who had been throwing straight balls in the center, suddenly started to throw inside and outside corners. Fukasawa's four bats were already extremely shaken!

"Let you be so shaken! Then things will be simple!" Xiandao glanced at the four-stick batter who was thinking wildly.

"Last ball!"

"call out!"

"In the center?"

"Snapped!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

"Idiot! You actually hit a bad ball that was obviously too high?" Coach Daemon was helpless about his four-ball game.

But this is understandable. The pressure of losing a lot of points in the previous game, coupled with the changes in ball distribution, made him lose judgment.

"Yo Xi!" On the contrary, the sincere defense team began to cheer!

"ONE OUT!" Sawamura stretched out his hand and shouted.

"ONE OUT!"

"This way you can take the initiative!"

"Ping!"

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

"Snapped!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

After that, five bats were caught and six were struck out!

The rhythm of the game completely guided Chicheng Junior High School!

Moreover, the attack in the second half of the second inning was started by the center hitter!

And Kondo stepped into the strike zone with a bunt stance.

"Bunt? What is this guy thinking? This is a center hitter!"

Even now, Fukasawa's catcher still doesn't know what Chicheng's linebacker wants to do, although he already knows that the four bats behind him are as strong as monsters.

However, the other batters have no idea whether they want to bunt or hit, so they can only move forward and use change balls like in the previous game.

A straight ball is still too dangerous against Chicheng's top hitter, it should be said that the hitter seven times ago.     In the last game, we faced one or two sticks and almost missed and lost points.

However, this method is too dangerous in the area between the inner and outer fields. This is also a way to stabilize the situation temporarily and there is no other way.

"Come on!" Finally, he made up his mind to surrender and made a decisive gesture!

but,

"Ping!" Kondo picked up the bat again when the ball was released!

"I saw too much change-up ball in the last game!" Kondo thought and hit the change-up ball, and coincidentally hit it in the middle of the inner and outer fields.

After all, although Kondo's blows are very powerful, it is only compared to what others say about Chicheng. The general control of the landing point can only be done by top hitters, at least Sendo can't do it. He can only control the general direction, specific and Feido. It all depends on fate!

After the situation completely turned towards Chicheng, even his luck began to go towards Chicheng. At this time, Xiandao complained crazily in his heart. He had always had bad luck in the competition before, but he finally had good luck.

At the same time, I pray that I won’t have good luck now and have bad luck again during the official competition!

"Yo Xi! Double hit! Keep going! Immortal!

Immortal..." He shouted, Sawamura's expression gradually became angry.

At this time, Xiandao was just thinking about his luck, and he didn't even notice that it was his turn to play!

"... Immortal, immortal way!!! You guy, what are you thinking about?!!!" Sawamura yelled fiercely.

"What a shame! Eijun!" Xiandao knew that he was distracted. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he whispered without blushing and out of breath.

"Ah!" Fukasawa's catcher glanced sideways at Sendō with fearful eyes, then looked at the ace on the pitcher's mound and nodded slightly!

then,

"Jingyuan? Are you scared?" The Chicheng bench exploded!

A direct walk without squatting at all by the catcher.

The ball just now made them understand that the impact of that kind of hit will fly very far even if it doesn't hit the center of the ball. It's fine if it's out of bounds, but if it's in bounds, consecutive home runs will have a great impact on the pitcher's soul.

As a result, even if he didn't know Xiandao's ability to catch the ball, he didn't dare to let him hit it.

And this time Jingyuan also completely kicked off Xiandao's frustrating junior high school career!

In normal practice games, batters are rarely walked, but this guy really can’t be allowed to hit!

How could he beat a monster that would be injured and die if it was touched? And there are people on base!

however,

"Stealing a base!" Kondo saw the pitcher walking the ball like a toss, and stole the base decisively.

And Fukasawa, who was careless or a little depressed, paid the price for his laxity!

"safe!"

"Damn it! I almost forgot! These guys are very good at stealing bases!" The catcher could only regret his laxity while looking at Kondo who ran to third base and became furious!

"Bad ball!"

"Four bad balls!"

Helpless, Sendō threw away the bat and ran to first base!

But when everyone was paying attention to the stolen base, Sendō gave Wakana a secret signal.

As for why it was given to Wakana, it's because Sawamura is more excited than anyone else when he steals a base, and he is also the one who is most attentive when watching stolen bases.

"Damn it! You coward!" At this time Sawamura was angry alone!

"Eijun!"

"Huh? Wakana!" Sawamura heard the shout from the bench, and then saw Wakana's code!

"Damn it!" Then Sawamura went to the fighting area with an unhappy expression!

But those who don’t know the secret code have no idea whether he is angry because of the recommendation or because of the secret code!

Fukasawa was also doubtful, but seeing Sawamura's normal striking posture, he put his doubts to rest for the time being!

"Come on! Let's decide the winner!"

As for the bases-loaded strategy?

Don't even think about it!

Omura in the back is not the kind of hitter who can implement bases-loaded tactics, not to mention that no one is out yet!

So, by accident, he faced off against Sawamura, an unknown and powerful "beater".

Lift your legs, step, wave your arms, all in one go!

"Stealing the base!" Xiandao, who had barely left the base, suddenly burst out!

"Ah..., hey!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Sawamura, who was shouting a bunch of random sounds, made a gorgeous swing!

"Damn it! Huh? This is too fast! His footwork!" Catcher Fukasawa was completely frightened by Xiandao's speed!

3 seconds, the time it takes Sendō to go from first base to second base, according to Fukasawa's catcher's feeling, is up to three seconds!

So, no one is out, and there are people on second and third base!

"What kind of magic trick is this? Is it a foul?

And was the code just used to confuse us? But let this hitter face off against us?

but……

This hitter looks stupid and feels surprisingly weak!

Is it an illusion? Or is it a trap?

His first bat is a monster, and his second bat is also a strong bat. There is no reason why he can only bunt well, right? "The little catcher who was fooled around by Chicheng's line has already begun to attack himself.

This is natural, he was played too hard before, and he never dreamed that Sendao would really do something like this to Sawamura, who was only good at short hitting, between two strong bats!

Therefore, the two of them became more cautious when shooting. So, after a lot of gestures and discussions, the two of them seemed to have finally decided on what ball to throw!

then,

"Ding!"

Sawamura looked fierce and hit a perfect bunt.

"We still have to bunt!!!" This time it was Fukasawa's turn to explode!

"First base!" But it's a blast, and the command is not slow at all!

Kondo easily returned the base, and Sendō naturally ran to third base!

The sixth point, just the second game, was already 6-0!

Later, after the pitcher who almost exploded was beaten by Omura and gave up the seventh run, the ace who did not show his strength at all was replaced.

After that, the subsequent hitters failed to suppress Chicheng's line, and the overall defense began to collapse. In addition, Fang Zecun was in excellent condition during the attack. Therefore, the game lost its suspense due to the fierce attack in the first two rounds.

Chicheng also got his wish, and got a record of 5 games ending early. In fact, he only played in the first half of the fourth game, and the score was 11-!

Even though Sendō showed foul footwork in subsequent games, Fukasawa still didn't decide the outcome with him.

Sawamura only gets one hit in a normal game.

Coach Damen did not participate in the command from beginning to end. At the end of the game, he comforted the players with a few words. Although they lost miserably, they were still very grateful to them.

After all, there are basically few players who play softball who aim to become a professional. Some of them have undiscovered talents or have no interest in the profession. Obviously, there are no such people among Fukasawa players.

So there’s no such thing as, screw your baseball dreams, I’m going home!

In the end, the players of Chicheng and Fukasawa bid farewell to each other and set off on their way home.

Everyone was very happy along the way. They felt that they were finally qualified to compete head-on with Tokugawa Junior High School!

Of course Sawamura has expanded beyond measure!

Although the victory or defeat of the two teams cannot indicate the difference in strength, strictly speaking, it is the mentality of the other team that was defeated by tactics.

But it is still a very meaningful game!
