Chapter 116 Kiryu Competition One
On Saturday morning, the bus from Osaka stopped at the entrance of Qingdao High School, and a team of baseball teenagers wearing unfamiliar school uniforms walked into the baseball field of Qingdao.

On the third base side, Seidou's players were all paying attention to the movement on the other side.

"Hey, are those people Osaka Kiryu who is known as a muscular man? It's not that big of a deal."

"Damn it, I actually played against them on the first day."

Gao Zhiye quietly listened to the sounds around him, without saying a word, he is taking all the time to rest now, when he got up this morning, he moved a bit, and his whole body was much lighter, but the muscle fatigue caused by the training camp will be eliminated in a short time no.

At this time Miyuki approached, "How about it, you are still very tired."

"It's enough for today, if it really doesn't work, I will tell the supervisor."

"Hi-hi~ I will make the best use of your abilities."

After the supervision of the two sides exchanged the list, the game officially began.

Kiryu went first, and the Kiryu player on the first base side learned from the supervisor that Seidou's pitcher was the first-year who had made a splash in the Kanto Conference. Give me how many points!"

"Hi--"

Gao Zhiye, who had just finished warming up, heard the voice from the opponent's bench, "What's the matter, do you still need this kind of momentum to deal with me as a freshman?" '

Kiryu stood in the strike zone with a bat, gripping the bat tightly. The pitcher looked tired, but he couldn't let his guard down.

'Well, let me say, you are having a hard time today, the other side is very cautious. 'Miyuki patted the ground, be sure to get the opponent out quickly.

With dark circles under his eyes, Gao Zhiye threw his softest ball in the past few months, and ran to the outside corner, which he was not very good at.

"Touch——" Kiryu saw this 'delicious' ball with a stick. How could he still remember what the coach said to watch a few more balls? Go out and make it to first base.

"Yoxi!" The bench on the first base cheered up, and hit the base with the first pitch of the first inning.

'It seems that the fatigue of the training camp has greatly affected the performance of this pitcher, but his performance in the Kanto Conference was not like this. Director Kiryu folded his arms and looked at the venue.

"Touch——" the second ball was shot again, it was his favorite inner corner height, it was almost a conditioned reflex, and he shot it, but I don't know if it was his illusion, the ball did not appear at the position he expected, and often The ball fell a little bit, and such a small deviation caused him to miss the center of the ball, which only made the situation become a man on first and second base.

"Hit out, hit out!"

"That pitcher is dead!"

The three bats stood on the strike zone with such shouts. A single hit means a full base, and if you hit through the infield defense, you can score a run. Looking at the pitching state of that pitcher today, he may be able to hit a home run. Such an opportunity must be seized.

Although he knew in his heart that this pitcher had two brushes, but that was when he was in good shape. If the first person hit the base, he was still a little skeptical. If the second person hit the base, it was almost certain that the pitcher's pitching state was unstable. After all The second person is up to the point circle. No pitcher will deliberately put a hitter up.

Miyuki glanced at the batter who was standing next to him, "Come to the center to hit the line, this hitter is very important, there are so many lays ahead, this ball must be thrown well!" '

Gao Zhiye nodded, looked at the runner on second base, then turned his head to look at the runner on first base, and turned around to give second base a check.

"What's the matter, that pitcher, the runner on second base didn't go far at all!"

"The pitcher is terrified!"

Not only were there boos on the first base side, but there were also noisy voices from his own bench.

"What's going on, my lord, if it doesn't work, replace me!" Rong Chun looked even more flustered than the man standing on the mound.

"Eijun! Shut up." Haruichi firmly covered Eijun's mouth, not to let him disturb Gao Zhiye on the field.

Minister Ota was the second panicked person: "What's going on, Takano-kun, two hitters have already hit base after only a few pitches. Sure enough, it's not okay to let the first-year pitcher after the training camp. In left field, or let Tamba pitch instead of Takano."

Supervisor Kataoka frowned, and endured his inner thoughts: "It's okay, the matters on the field will be decided by the players on the field."

Gao Zhiye couldn't take care of these pitches on the sidelines. He had to start exerting strength in this game. He couldn't make a difference from the speed of the ball in front of him, but he had to control it more precisely.

First there was a bad ball in the outside corner, and when others began to wonder if the pitcher's possession was broken, a ball high in the inside corner tricked him into swinging, brushed a little edge, and went out of bounds.

'Isn't this guy a strike zone shooter? ’ With such doubts, Sanba saw a ball flying towards the red center, ‘Missed? ?How dare you vote for me!See if I don't hit the home plate! '

But as soon as he touched the ball, Sanba said badly in his heart, 'Isn't it a straight ball? ?Isn't it natural, I'm an idiot, why did I forget that he still has a changing ball. 'The ball turned to the inside corner at the end, the swing was squeezed, and instead of flying into the sky, it bounced to the infield. Fortunately, the ball was hit very hard, and it bounced quickly between the first and second bases.

"Yo Xi, first base——" The third bat looked at the ball between the base runs, and was about to pass between the first and second bases, but was blocked by a figure.

The pink-haired second baseman flew towards the ball, and with momentum, rolled over while adjusting his center of gravity, and passed the ball to the direction of second base.

"Out!" Kuramochi jumped and passed to first base.

"out!"

"Wow—" Regardless of the enemy or me, the baseball teenagers all issued a timeout. They knew the amount of training behind this beautiful skill, "That coordination is amazing."

Haruichi couldn't help being proud of his brother, his face flushed with excitement, so he didn't take good care of Eijun.

"Sa——Brother, you have been completely saved by the defense! Wake up quickly! You are already in the game!"

Just as Gao Zhiye took off his hat to pay tribute to the defense behind him, he heard the voice behind him, which really made people angry. If there were only 5 innings, he could still support it. Now that he is defending according to the pattern of 9 innings, he must Rely on these predecessors behind you.

Turning around, facing Kiryu's pitcher and four batters, Takano recalled the terrifying performance of this man in the video tape he watched yesterday, "If I still have the strength, I can fight with you, but the situation is completely different now." Allow me to do this. '

In the first half of the inning, there were two outs and a man on third base. Seidou's first-year pitcher faced Kiryu's four-bat, and it seemed that there was a problem with the ball again. The beautiful fielding behind him just now didn't seem to save his tired state.

"Four balls! Walk!"

"Ah, this guy, he can't handle the ball at all."

"Score me!"

Kiryu's players became more and more excited, and their supervisors sensed a hint of danger, 'Is this pitcher really in a bad state?The mentality is indeed bad, but he put a lot of people on base, and he hasn't lost points until now. It's too early to draw conclusions. '

So he issued an instruction from the bench, "Be careful with five bats. Runners on first base steal bases when they see opportunities. If Qingdao only cares about stealing bases on second base, runners on third base, run back before three outs." , to maximize their internal chaos. '

The three Kiryu players on the field nodded one by one, come on, first-year pitcher, let us score more points in the first inning!
