Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 771 Summary Meeting

“A timely two-run hit in the bottom half of the fifth inning opened the score completely, forcing Ukumori to make a desperate attempt!

However, Ukumori did not score due to a fine play by Teito second baseman!

The winner was decided in the eighth game of offense and defense!

As a result, Teito defeated Ukumori 3-0! ! "During the meeting in the evening, Senior Watanabe began to briefly introduce today's game.

"Mukai's performance in this competition is really great!"

"How much work did you put in during the offseason!"

As soon as Senior Watanabe finished speaking, the room began to talk.

This is also a characteristic of Japanese chat.

One person will not speak all the time, but will speak in paragraphs, and then give others a chance to speak.

This represents the interaction between the two parties, and the person listening expresses what he or she has heard by speaking.

This can also be regarded as a habit formed by conversation etiquette.

"The competition time is only one and a half hours!" Senior Kuramochi turned to Miyuki and said.

"what!

This shows that the pitchers on both sides performed very well! "Miyuki nodded.

In a normal game, a collision between two strong teams would basically take two hours to finish.

Even without the time and space of Immortal Dao, the life-and-death battle between Seido and Inami in the finals lasted for nearly three hours in nine rounds!

The twelve rounds of this time and space lasted four hours and seven minutes.

In comparison, the ninth inning only lasted an hour and a half, which shows that not many players on both sides were on base! !

Just like today's game schedule, the first game starts at ten o'clock, and the second game starts at half past twelve, which means that more than two hours of time are reserved, and it may be postponed later.

"Sendou, you saw it at the scene, right? What do you think?" Kuramochi spoke to Sendou again.

"I won't say much about the pitchers. You can tell from the game time how smooth and powerful the two pitchers' pitches are, and how fast the game is!

Both teams are very good at using limited hits to score points!

In the first half of the eighth inning, I really should praise the second baseman of Teton.

The two teams were already about to decide the winner. If it hadn't been for his performance and if Umenomiya's blow had been passed, there's really no telling what would have happened in the game.

Although I think Di Dong has a good chance of winning even in this case, it will definitely be extremely dangerous!

Having played against Ukumori in the fall, you should know how terrible the team's lane performance is after the team's morale increases!

Well!

I'll come back if Mei Gong's hit was blocked in the eighth round! "Xian Dao concluded casually.

Others also nodded!

There is no video of today's two games. After all, we have to wait until the finals to meet the opponents. Just listen to Watanabe-senpai's introduction and look through the scorebook if you are interested.

Before that, I was watching the game video of tomorrow’s opponent, Kasugaichi!

"I saw you hanging out with the players from Daocheng Industrial today!

Surrounded by Inami's players, it really feels like nothing is out of place! "Senior Watanabe smiled.

He somewhat lamented Xiandao's ability to make friends!

"It's true!" Senior Kuramochi exclaimed in a low voice.

“And then there’s game two!

The Red Sea Ohsuda, who hired a former professional baseball player as a supervisor and carried out large-scale reforms... How he will face Inami is attracting everyone's attention!

But..., Karl Rose's leadoff home run and Yoshitaka Yamada's two-run home run directly shattered ace Yamada's fighting spirit! !

With no way to hide his vacillation, Inami took away seven points in the first game! !

Sugata also tried to fight back...

However, he only scored two runs in front of starting pitcher Hirano!

In the end...with 11 to 2, the game ended early in the seventh inning! !

Daocheng Industrial, which had favored the ace Chenggong, was promoted to the semi-finals! "Since the supervisor was right next to him, Watanabe-senpai didn't chat much and started introducing the second game directly.

"Carl Rose hit another home run!" Kuramochi whispered.

After all, on the offensive end, the functions of the two people are very similar, so Kuramochi-senpai will naturally use the other person as the object of comparison with himself.

Karl Rose's performance put him under a lot of pressure! !

Not only Kuramochi, but fielders like Kanemaru were also very stressed when faced with such a line!

"The semifinals will be between Didong and Daocheng Industrial!

It will be a battle between outstanding pitchers! "

“I don’t know how both sides will attack such a pitcher!

Especially Chenggong, they are one of our biggest opponents in the summer! "

"Finally... our opponent tomorrow is Kasuga Kasuga's ace!

He was the No. 2 pitcher in the autumn big game!

He performed very well as an ace in this competition!

This pitcher's slider is so impressive!

However, I think that learning how to throw a fork ball that can make the hitter fly was the decisive factor in this pitcher's leap!

So if you want to attack this pitcher, you can start with this fork ball! "Senior Watanabe explained while playing the video of key places.

"From substitute to ace..." Kasuga Kazuo's ace touched Sawamura greatly and reminded him of his goal.

However, Sawamura himself didn't know how far he was from that goal.

“Then it’s about their line-mapping!

It gives the impression that most left-handed batters are fast! !

Needless to say, infield hits, hit-and-runs and safety hits are also common methods!

They will use various means to shake the defense!

So we need to defend more tenaciously! "

After listening to Watanabe-senpai’s words, Kuramochi Koharu Miyuki and others showed confident smiles!

The luxury of our own defensive lineup is really something that cannot be changed!

It may be controversial to say that Nimbus' comprehensive defensive ability is the best in the country, but no one would dispute that it is one of the strongest in the country.

"Small ball tactics?

I miss it a bit! ! " Xiandao sighed softly.       "Don't you know?

This tactic is very popular in Nippon Professional Baseball! ! "Miyuki said curiously.

"Do not!

I'm not saying this, I'm just sighing a little! !

When I was in junior high school, Eijun and the others always relied on small ball tactics to win! ! "Xiandao rolled his eyes at Miyuki who might have misunderstood.

"you?!!

Small ball tactics? ! ! "Miyuki said in disbelief with his eyes widened.

This guy who can hit the ball out of the guardrail at every turn would not believe it if he said he came from a small ball game!

It's not that Miyuki has become stupid, but that he didn't turn around for a while, and all his attention was on Xiandao.

"idiot!

I mean the rest of the guys use small ball to stun the opponent and stack the bases, and then I beat the pitcher! !

Although there are some differences, for the entire team, they are indeed playing small ball! ! Xiandao said angrily.

"Yup!

However, this style of play is rogue enough! "Miyuki patted his forehead, reacted, and then laughed.

"Seventy percent of baseball is tactics, don't you know?" Sendao rolled his eyes.

"All right!

After that, the pitchers, catchers, and Sendō will come to the supervisory office together!

Please reconfirm everything including the first release tomorrow! ! "Coach Kataoka interrupted the bickering between the two beasts and said.

“Hi!!×N!

BOSS! (someone)"

“As for tomorrow’s starting lineup, I plan to announce it tomorrow!

The independent practice must be controlled so as not to affect tomorrow's game. Disband now! "

"Hi!!"

Coach Kataoka left, and others got up one after another to complete the next arrangements.

"Why did you add me?

Obviously he was going to discuss the starting pitcher! ! Xiandao said helplessly.

"Complaining about the supervisor?" Kuki Yohei, a junior in the Sendō dormitory, had questions in his mind.

I saw it on the first day and had a different impression of the Immortal Way! !

"There is no way who made you the fourth bat?

And you have a very good brain, so the supervisor wants to borrow your power!

Didn’t I often come to you to discuss things privately? "Miyuki said with a smile.

Miyuki's words were a big blow!

After all, Coach Kataoka went to Sendao alone to ask about something, and not everyone knew about it!

"Ugh!

I know!

But I just want to vent a bit! Too much trouble! ! "Xian Dao stood up reluctantly.

"Anyway, you have nothing to do!

Just think of it as going for a walk!

Aren't you very familiar with the road? "After Miyuki finished speaking, he left first.

Others followed suit.

The catcher formation that Coach Kataoka mentioned is for the first army, so Okumura and Kariba still have to practice on their own...

Everyone has the same goal, which is to get on the "stage"!

Tomorrow's opponent is East Tokyo's powerful Kasugaichi. Those who have the opportunity to start but are not stable are extremely eager.

But at this time, the inner thoughts of several people are very similar!

They are all asking themselves in their hearts,

"Are you ready to step on the court?

Are you ready to show your full strength? "

……

"As for tomorrow's starter, I plan to let Sawamura play!" Coach Kataoka looked at the players in front of him and said slowly.

Shuang Tou's expression changed instantly!

Fang Gu was surprised, while Sawamura pursed his lips and had a serious expression!

“For a team like this with mostly left-handed hitters who swing aggressively but don’t know how to swing the big bat...

Sawamura, who is a left-hander and can lure the opponent out, would be more suitable! !

Of course, in the second half, Furiya will definitely come on to pitch!

Don’t relax and be prepared! "Seeing the double-shooting expression, Coach Kataoka explained, and then reminded Fukitani.

"So will I go to left field?" Fangtani asked.

"No! I won't let you play!

Now it’s time to focus your attention on pitching! "

Fang Gu was deeply shocked when he heard that he was going to stay on the bench...

"Although I think his Chun Jia fatigue has recovered!

But after coming back from Koshien, I still use too much force when I throw the ball..." Miyuki glanced at Fukiya, who had his head lowered, and thought to himself.

"Although it would be good to let him stay in the bullpen...but..." Coach Ochiai pinched his beard, not fully agreeing with Coach Kataoka's decision.

He clearly felt that something was wrong with Jiang Gu's psychology!

　I had an unbearable headache today. It got better in the evening and now it's starting to hurt again.

　　Fortunately, it happened to be painful after I typed so many words...

　　The key is that I can’t go out and buy New Year’s goods at all!!!
