Chapter 377 Beginning

“Today’s first game of the Koshien semi-finals,

The match between Aichi High School representing Nishitokyo and Nishiro High School representing Aichi Prefecture is about to begin!

The temperature is very high today!

Audiences, please replenish your fluids in time! "

"...!"

“Now please invite the players from Sibang High School to practice throwing and catching!

The game officially starts in five minutes! "

After the broadcast, the commentators began their commentary on today's game.

“It looks like the game is finally about to begin!

Next to me is Mr. Che, the special commentator!

Today’s first game is a battle between two candidates for the top spot!

The temperature is really high today!

It's only ten o'clock now and the temperature is already close to 35 degrees!

If this game lasts long enough, we will have to face the highest temperature today!

Che Sang! What do you think of the two teams today?

Or which team are you more optimistic about? "

“Both teams are both offensive and defensive, but they are also line-first teams!

Modern high school baseball has gradually evolved into a high-pitching and low-pitching situation, with more reliance on batting to determine victory or defeat.

However, there were actually two four-pitcher teams in the semi-finals this year!

This is also a way to combat this situation!

For example, today's Seido High School, although the individual strength of the pitching staff is not as good as Nishibori.

However, due to the four-person pitching staff, the amount of exercise for each pitcher in each of their games is almost the same as in usual practice.

In other words, every pitcher is at his peak.

This also improves the defensive ability and can wait for the line to score.

Although Sibang High School has an absolute ace, it has really thrown a lot of shots recently, and I don’t know how it is in shape, but if it falls into a protracted battle, it may be difficult to persist to the end.

In terms of defense, the two sides are considered five versus five!

After all, Qingdao's defensive lineup except for pitchers is so luxurious!

The key to determining the outcome today is probably the lane line!

Both sides have strong lanes, and the lanes are the most unpredictable.

So today’s outcome is unpredictable.

Personally, I prefer Qingdao to win. If both sides are in an ideal state, Qingdao will obviously have the upper hand! "As a guest commentator, Mr. Che expressed his own views. Generally speaking, it was a very objective evaluation.

But the Xibang players may not necessarily be willing to accept it. After all, they are all teenagers between fifteen and eighteen years old, and they are not willing to easily admit that others are stronger.

"Is it okay? Akila spent most of her time at home when she was a child, and she has never faced such a hot weather while exercising outside!" In the stands, Sendao's mother was a little worried. Now Sendao is still only fifteen age.

Although he will be sixteen in two months.

"It doesn't matter! That guy is already a man!

Men go through tough situations all the time! "Xian Dao's father is very supportive of his children and faces more things.

Although these two are often in China, they still know something about the situation in Immortal Dao.

"It's about to begin!" Someone shouted, and the scene gradually became quiet.

“The players from the two teams on the bench have already lined up in the center of the field!

It means the game is about to begin! "

"salute!"

“Please give me some advice!!!”

“After saying hello, it was Sibang High School who entered the field to guard!

Standing on the pitcher's mound, of course it was Nishibon's ace Yukiyuki Hoshinomiya!

The one who is about to launch an attack is Seido's powerful line-up, which is ranked No. 1 in the country! ! "

"Hmm...!" After a simple throw and catch, the usual air defense alarm sounded in the stadium.

"First half of the first game! Seido High School's attack!

A stick! Shortstop, Kuramochi inning! "

"Fight out! Kuramochi!"

"Use your steps to disturb them!"

"Get out!"

"Isn't this a great hitter, and he plays on the right side?

At the beginning, be careful when shooting! "After observing Kuramochi's actions, Nippon's catcher Kiriyama gave the signal for today's first pitch.

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Is this ball also a good ball? It seems that the referee today is more lenient!" Kiriyama thought to himself when he saw the first controversial ball. The referee gave it a good ball without any hesitation.

"So! Here!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"The inside corner of the second goal was too high! It's a pity it was a little wide!

Next, Xibang Chuanmao gave the signal for the third goal without hesitation! "

"Today is such a good opportunity, so naturally the outer corner is the center!"

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Ok?"

"Ding!"

"Oh! Safety strike!"

"Snapped!"

"Safety!"

"Nice bunt! Kuramochi!"

"So fast! That's how it should be!"

"Continue the attack!"

"The next step will be painful! Qingdao's Eryoujian combination!

We don’t just have the best duo in the country, there are four or five great combinations! "

"This is only the first round! Are you going to attack like this?" Tongshan thought that the opponent would definitely struggle in the first round.

However, although Qingdao has similar ideas, the main purpose is to put pressure on the defensive lineup, and entanglement is not the only method.

This safe strike was also Kuramochi's own judgment.

“Aomi’s bat hit the bases with an unexpected safety!

After this hitter gets on base, he will score at a very high rate.

Sure enough, this one is off base! ! ! "

"Second bat! Second baseman, Kominato Ryosuke-kun!"

The announcer had just finished calling, and the announcement was made that the next batter would come on.

"It's not good! It will be the turn of four bats in this round!

Be cautious! We can no longer pile up and run around, Miyanauchi! "

"Snapped!"

"Safety!"

"Ha!" Kuramochi returned to the base and smiled back.

Nishibon really didn't dare to let Kuramochi get too comfortable on the bases.

But Kuramochi's baserunning skills are really good, otherwise he wouldn't be so lethal.

“He can run if he wants to!

Leave the runners to me! This hitter is not someone who can relax! "Before pitching, Kiriyama used secret codes to clarify the division of labor. At this time, he did not dare to distract the ace.

"Steal a base!"

"call out!"

"The first goal?..., this is...!

Hit and run? "

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

This hit-and-run was such a shock that Nishibori broke out in a cold sweat. If the ball entered the bounds, Kuramochi could fly to third base!

But since it was out of bounds, I could only go back to first base!

Although Qingdao's hidden handicap turned into a strike, their purpose of putting pressure on the defense began to work.

When human beings are mentally stressed, their physical energy is depleted the fastest.

The brain is a major energy consumer of the body. Even if the brain is completely disabled from standby, it will still consume nearly 20% of the body's energy. You can imagine how much energy will be consumed when you are excited and focused.

"Steal a base!"

"here we go again!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"Don't underestimate people!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Safety!"

"Successful stolen base!!!"

"Yo Xi!!!"

"Oh!!!"

"Nice run! Kuramochi!"    "That's how it should be! Kuramochi!"

"Actively aim for the next base! (This sentence is obviously based on the atmosphere. No matter what, Kuramochi can't easily steal third base in front of the famous Nishibori!)"

"Don't worry about it! Fortunately! Compared with the runner entering the scoring circle, the hit by the person being hit is the scariest thing!

I don't want to face that four- or five-base combination with several runners on base in the first inning!

Those are two hitters with comparable abilities! "

"Ok!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"call out!"

"nice shot!"

"Referee! Is your strike zone a bit too big today?" Ounisang complained to the referee in his mind. Fortunately, it was the second strike number, otherwise he might have been tricked by the referee again.

Just like the Mingchuan battle!

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Actively pestering! Kominato Ryosuke!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"This hitter is too difficult to deal with! We can't let him continue to be entangled like this! Here!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"You know that the referee's penalty scale today is a bit loose, but you still watch this goal?

He is indeed a tough hitter! "

"The ball count is full! Will the next ball determine the winner?"

"puff!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Batter's out!"

"Slow curveball! After struggling with so many fastballs, swinging short on the slow curveball!

Now he's out of the game!

Next, we will face the powerful center line of Seido High School! "

"Hey! A straight shot like this is a changeup pitcher? Are you kidding me!" Isashiki in the preparation area complained in his heart.

"Three bats! Left fielder, Isashiki-kun!"

"There is no other way! We can only go all out!"

"One out!" After Isashiki entered the strike zone, Kiriyama glanced at Sendō walking towards the preparation area and stood up first to shout.

"One out!" Miyanouchi was the first to respond.

"One out!"

"Let's solve it one by one!"

The players on the court motivated each other.

"This guy!

You didn't look at me just now but glanced at Xiandao, right? "Isashiki's anger was rising slowly.

"Don't underestimate people! Bastard!!!"

"Ping!"

However, the ball was indeed a grounder between first and second base!

"what!……"

Thinking of his handsome shout before..., Isashiki's face instantly turned red!

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

"Safety!"

Although Isashiki was undoubtedly out, Kuramochi easily reached third base!

"The batter was blocked by first base! But the runner made it to third base!

At third base is runner Yoichi Kuramochi, and the batter is a first-year four-bat hitter! Immortal way... Akira! ! !

Xibang High School faced a huge crisis at the beginning, as long as an infield hit was scored!

Moreover, Sendō-kun's footwork must be higher than Kuramochi-kun's, which means that an infield ground ball is also likely to be an infield hit, which is also one point! "The commentator stated the danger of the situation. No one expected that what was originally thought to be a tepid start would turn out like this.

"As always! Jun-san!" Sendō joked to Isashiki-senpai in his heart.

“However, in a situation where the only runner is the cheetah, it’s my turn!

It’s really fresh! Xiandao laughed softly, and then stood up slowly!

"Four sticks!! Backbone, Xiandaojun!"

"Four sticks!! Backbone, Xiandaojun!"

"Oh!!!"

The scene was temporarily uncontrollable!

"Out! Monster Beater!"

"Genius hitter!"

"Xian Daojun!"

"akila-chan!"

"Jiang?" An audience member overheard the girl next to him yelling and couldn't help but turn around and take a look.

"Sorry! I got out so quickly!

You should have pestered him and at least let him shoot a few more shots!

This time, please! "Chun Sang, who came back, whispered beside Xiandao.

"No problem, I may not be able to hit you either!"

"You bastard, you're saying frustrating things again! Be careful, I'll beat you up!"

"No problem!" Sendō smiled and looked at Isashiki-senpai's face.

Isashiki-senpai saw the seriousness in his smile.

"The game is still going on! Please don't take this kind of thing to your heart!" But before Isashiki-senpai could say anything, Sendō walked towards the court.

"Ah! Please! Four sticks!" Chunsang turned around and looked at Xian Dao's back and said softly.

Afterwards, he high-fived the philosophical team who came up, said a few words briefly, and returned to the bench.

"Two out!"

The stadium once again resounded with shouts of encouragement, initiated by Kiriyama.

"Result! Will it still be his turn in the first inning with someone on base?

And the runner is still on third base! "Tongshan put down his arm after shouting, glanced at Xiandao, and thought to himself.

“But we can’t show weakness easily!

Deal with him here and let the rhythm of the game completely guide us here! "

Seeing his partner's fighting spirit, Miyanouchi also smiled on the pitcher's mound.

The ace of a famous family is not a coward who easily backs down!

"Let's decide the outcome!" This was also the voice of everyone in the venue.

"Monster newbie! Let me see how much he is capable of up close!" Monster hitter Sano Shuzo stared at Sendō at third base, even Kuramochi behind him was a little ignored by him.

This made Kuramochi very unhappy, although he did not dare to steal home base.

Kuramochi knew very well that the stage now belonged to the man in the strike zone.

"Today is Xiandao-kun's first banquet!

An eye-catching first goal! ! ! "

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

“The first goal was a bad ball with a low outer corner! This ball went quite obviously!

Then came the second ball! "

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"bump!"

"The outside world!"

The ball hit not far behind Sano.

"Awesome shot, but it was a foul ball!"

"Hey!

Is this guy really a first grader?

This is no joke! This first grade swing!

What a monster!

Probably more than me! "

With just one swing, Sano understood what kind of hitter the guy in the strike zone was now.

If I had wanted to meet the legendary first-year monster before, I really didn't dare to tease him at all now.

“Sure enough, the gap between what we saw in the video and what we actually saw in the field is still quite big.

Is this guy really a human? "Sano involuntarily lowered his focus. He understood the ball just now. If it falls into the boundary, even if he goes all out, he may not be able to stop it.

　The day went by so fast, I thought today was the 1st! …
