Chapter 606: Mentality

“In the second half of the fourth game, Seido High School’s attack,

One bat, shortstop, Kuramochi-kun! ! "

"Come on! Cheetah!!" Sawamura transformed into a cat's eyes and was the first to shout.

"Absolutely get on base!"

"Use your feet to disturb them!!"

……

"Why?

The opponent is obviously a left-hander, so why does he stand on the left side? "At this time, some spectators discovered that Kuramochi stepped onto the left-hand bench, facing a disadvantageous left-hander.

"Kuramochi is the type who shoots from both sides, right?"

"Humph!

I'm not standing here just because that uncle opened his mouth!

I'm here to seal the screw-in that's bad for right-handed hitters! !

Moreover, all four of my family’s sama have announced their scores.

If there are too many outs when it is his turn, the opponent will not throw any good shots to him! ! "Of course Kuramochi knew how others would evaluate him, so he argued secretly in his heart.

After all, for hitters, the easier positions to hit in the four-square grid are the low inside corners and high outside corners.

Needless to say, the high outside angle is the most comfortable position for swinging the bat, while the low inside angle is at the height of the batter's knee if it enters the strike zone. If you play with a little fishing, it is also the sweet spot of the bat.

Therefore, these two positions mostly use bad balls to disrupt hitters.

Ogawa's screwball has a low inside angle for left-handed hitters, but because it is the winning pitch, it is naturally not easy to throw a bad pitch.

Shinichiro Masaki glanced at Kuramochi, and naturally immediately understood his intention of standing on the left side of the table.

Maybe his ball matching is far less unpredictable than Miyuki, but at the most basic level, he still has some experience in guessing the opponent's psychology.

Catcher is a position with such requirements.

"puff!"

"call out!"

“#!

First ball spiral? "Kuramochi had already taken action, only to realize that the first ball was a spiral ball.

"Ping!"

"An infield grounder to first base! This ball has no power!"

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

The first baseman only took a few steps forward on this ball, and then finished it when he returned to first base. He didn't even need his teammates to cover the ball, and even Kuramochi's footwork was much worse.

Speaking of which, this idiot... his straight ball is not very good, but the timing of the change of this spiral ball is really late.

Kurama held the grip of the bat and swung it almost to his face when the ball started to change.

Although it has something to do with Kuramochi's swing, it is not as late as Narukong and Sendō.

Sendō's style of play is impossible to play without a very fast swing speed and reactions like Koharu's.

Even if Koharu has lowered the requirement for swing speed due to his talent for reflexes and accurate hitting, there is currently no way he can do it.

“I voted without hesitation!

The winning goal! ! "Kadoda-senpai said.

"It's a low pitch to a left-handed batter. It seems that the pitcher is very confident about that ball!" Zhe said seriously.

"This balance of power still needs to be opened up by the Immortal Dao guy!" Chunsang said proudly.

"The other party won't easily decide the outcome with Immortal Dao!

If he hits a very tricky bad shot... even Sendao's guy won't be very efficient.

The breakthrough point in this game lies with Miyuki!

No matter what kind of opponent it is, one must admit the threat Sendō poses as a runner, even if there are other runners in front of him. "Hearing Isashiki's words, Team Tetsu shook his head rarely and expressed a different view.

“Very nice pitch!!

The real game-winner is useful to both left- and right-hand batters! ! "Coach Xiong Che in the stands praised.

"Two bats! Right fielder, Hakushu-kun!"

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

“The first goal is a high straight shot from an inside corner!!

The batter chose to watch!

...Then comes the second ball! ! "

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Third ball!!"

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

“Clever use of the screwball, two out!!”

"Three bats, second baseman, Minato-kun!"

"How do you choose now?" Miyuki glanced at Shinichiro Masaki and thought to himself.

There are no runners with two outs and three bats in the strike zone. Many teams will choose to walk and decide the winner with Sendao.

Otherwise, after the change of field, there will be no hitters in front of Xiandao.

However, this is not the only way to deal with it, so Miyuki doesn't know what choice the other party will make.

The other party didn't let Miyuki wait for a long time. He almost squatted down without hesitation and chose to decide the outcome with Koharu.

"It seems that our wiring is really underestimated!" Miyuki said with a smile when he saw this.

If Ma feels that Ogawa is sure to solve the immortal problem, this is completely nonsense.

Therefore, the reason why the opponent decided to decide the outcome with Koharu is that even if Sendō gets on base, he just needs to find a way to suppress the subsequent batters.

This is also the reason why Miyuki feels that they are underestimated.

Koharu, who walked onto the strike zone at this time, could only think about the instructions given to him by Coach Kataoka before taking the field.

Coach Kataoka found that the opponent’s first ball had a high rate of straight shots with a high inside angle.

So let Xiaochun aim for that ball and take action as soon as the opponent shoots it.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Here it comes! Straight ball from inside corner!!"

"Click! Click!"

The moment he hit the ball, Koharu heard the scream of the bat.

However, due to Koharu's pull, the ball flew to the junction of the infield and the outfield.

"Yo Xi! A hit in front of left field!!!"

"Nice strike!"

"Minato!!"

“Great job!!”

"As expected of Demon Koharu!!

Ah ha ha ha! "

“Is the bat broken?

The angle of the ball is very tricky, and it's also very heavy... huh? "Coach Ochiai secretly said while pinching his beard.

Sendō, who picked up Koharu's bat, found that the bat had been cracked vertically.

The only disadvantage of wooden bats is that they do not hit the center of the ball, and the bat can easily break when encountering such a heavy ball.

This also proves how heavy Ogawa's straight ball is.

You need to know how Xiaochun, who is extremely gifted in ball sense, is aiming his shot.

Even if it deviates from the center of the ball, it won't deviate by much. It can break the bat, so I can only praise the pitcher.

And Sergeant was able to make accurate guesses from a distance just by relying on the path of the ball and the sound of the bat, which is enough to prove his professionalism.

"Four sticks! Backbone, Lord Immortal!"

"Oh!!!"

"what!!!"

"Fight it out!!"

"Xian Dao-kun!!!"     The stadium exploded again in a moment!

And in the stands, the support song of Xiandao also sounded.

“Did the bat not fly too far because it broke?

That’s not too bad, though!

To be honest, fighting that monster in the next game is very risky in itself.

This is a rare opportunity, let’s try and fight him here!

Even you, Baga, should understand how terrifying this batter is!

If you throw a tricky ball, you will definitely not be able to throw a hitable ball! ! "

"Hu Shi!" Although Xiaochuan didn't know what Fan Sang was thinking, he nodded innocently when he saw the code that asked him to be more subtle.

"The path of the ball is very tricky and heavy, and the spiral ball he throws has been seen in the playing seats of Kuramochi and Hakushu. The diagonals of the inner and outer corners are intertwined with rapid changes!

Although it is a good pair of traps, you can no longer do whatever you want.

When facing a head-on confrontation with Xiandao, the outcome is already doomed.

This Immortal Dao who beats the mat... is so terrifying! Miyuki, who was squatting in the preparation area, thought to himself as he watched the two sides about to start a duel.

A certain degree of understanding of Immortal's character.

Miyuki knew that Sendō, who was hit by a touching ball in the previous game, would definitely not let them pass easily in this game.

Just when Miyuki was thinking wildly, Ogawa had already raised his leg.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"so close!!"

"In the last round of the game, the pitcher obviously hit a touch ball, but this pitcher..."

The audience exclaimed when they saw this ball.

It turned out that the ball was less than ten centimeters from Sendao's knee.

This is still Xiandao's position. In the middle of the strike zone, the ball has already passed the position of one ball on the sideline of the strike zone.

If Xiandao's stance was one close to the home plate sideline, wouldn't it mean that his knees would be hit by an arrow?

Of course, if Sendō was positioned so forward, they wouldn't be shooting such dangerous shots.

"Doesn't this guy think that it doesn't matter if he hits the Immortal Way?" Miyuki complained in his heart.

This is not because Miyuki is not worried about Immortal Dao, but because of Immortal Dao's reaction, after being hit once, even if he deliberately hits someone later, it is impossible to hit him.

"This guy... just put the ball in his glove!!

Does that mean he has a big heart? Or is he heartless?

Well! To a certain extent, I am worse than him! "

Sendō in the strike zone noticed that Ogawa's eyes were extremely clear, and he also understood that the opponent didn't think about it that much at all, he just threw it when the catcher asked him to.

Recalling his bad character, Xiandao also complained about himself in his heart.

Chengkong's shooting rhythm was very fast, and he almost didn't give Xiandao much time to think before he threw the second ball.

Although Xiandao even complained about himself, it didn't mean that he could tolerate the other party and oppress himself in such a bastard way.

So he tightened his grip on the bat, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

And although Shinichiro Masato doesn't know how Sendao arranges himself.

But he also imagined that Xiandao would definitely want to take action at this time, so he asked for a bad ball with a large deviation from the outside corner, destroying Xiandao's desire to attack.

It's like wanting convenience but having to hold it back due to some unexpected events.

Momentum is something that requires one burst of energy and then three times of exhaustion.

The way he manipulated his mentality this time made Xiandao feel uncomfortable all over!

Make full use of the touch ball in the last round and use psychological tactics.

So despite the fact that Immortal Dao didn't take action for two consecutive games, this guy was already panting like crazy at this time.

At this time, Miyuki put his left hand to his mouth and wanted to remind Xiandao, but he still put his hand down.

Miyuki knew that Xiandao also understood the other party's purpose at this time, so he adjusted his breathing frantically.

If you speak at this time, it will only be a disservice.

"Although we are opponents, this move is really beautiful." Miyuki looked at Team Xiaozhe and secretly marveled.

Miyuki is not good at this kind of mentality.

It can only be said that Team Xiaozhe, who has been manipulated by his teammates all year round, naturally has great experience in manipulating other people's mentality.

“This is a perfect opportunity!

Compared to him who is anxious now, his reaction speed must be much slower than usual!

Don't give him a chance to breathe, just throw your most satisfying shot! "At this time, Team Xiaozhe has already raised his gloves.

"puff!"

"The pace is so fast, aren't you going to give Xiandao some time to adjust?" Seeing Ogawa step forward, Miyuki felt a little anxious.

"call out!"

"puff!"

"That's right! Let's hit the ground ball like this!" Seeing Sendao take action, Shinichiro Masaki's eyes lit up. He knew that this might be the only chance to defeat the opponent head-on.

"boom!"

"Ping!!"

"Na..." When the ball flew towards the sky, Shinichiro Masaki was shocked.

Ogawa, this heartless guy, was also shocked.

"bump!"

The baseball hit the left field stands hard!

"The outside world!!"

"call!"

"call!!!"

Although they had seen a big deviation from the boundary, when they heard the boundary, all the members of Chengkong and their supporters officially blew the air out of their mouths.

"Scared me!!!"

"Why is the ball being pushed into the stands!!!"

"Although the ball just entered the strike zone, it was a very tricky spiral ball, right?"

"How scary!!!"

At this time, the audience who supported Cheng Kong exclaimed loudly as if venting their anger.

Team Xiaozhe's eyes were fixed on Xiandao, as if a pair of laser eyes wanted to pierce him completely.

"call!

……

What a great idea! senior! Xiandao breathed a sigh of relief, and after a slight silence, he spoke in a low voice.

This hit was so terrifying that the fast pitching rhythm that Narukong had faced Sendō before was immediately stopped.

"This guy's breathing has become smoother!!!" Mashinichiro's pupils shrank slightly.

"Phew! Forget it!" After sighing, he placed his glove on the right strike zone.

"Jingyuan?!

That’s right!

Even if I was beaten out in that situation, my mentality would be affected. It would be better to send him out to readjust my mentality!

Moreover, the immortal way of completely restraining his fighting spirit in such a state..." Miyuki thought for a moment and understood what the other party was thinking.

This time, Shinichiro Masaki received a bit of a big shock and needed to slow down, so naturally he was not suitable for a duel with the monster Sendō.

Not to mention, ball count is also detrimental to hole formation.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"Four bad balls!"

After hearing the umpire's decision, Sendō casually dropped the bat and jogged to first base.

Seeing Xiandao's expression at this time, anyone could see how right it was to send him out to interrupt his momentum and allow him to adjust his mentality.

"Five sticks! Catcher, Miyuki-kun!"

“With two outs and a runner on first and second base, Aomichi also had a fifth-base hit by Miyuki!

Great opportunity for Seido High School to score! ! !

How will Chengkong Academy survive this crisis? ! "

Although it has just entered the fourth game, the game has gradually stabilized.

Therefore, neither side wants the other party to break the balance and gain dominance in the game.
