Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 167 Fighting Xibang III

It's a pity that plans are plans, and reality is reality.

Facing the ultra-high-speed straight ball that goes straight to the goal, no one can't help but resist. The ball is thrown from the hand of the tall and thin pitcher, and it quickly rushes to the hitter like a train.

'Sure enough, this ball is very unusual!How does this figure throw such a high ball speed! Baishan shouted in his heart, if someone asked him to stand beside the driveway, the Shinkansen high-speed train that was about to roar into the station was in front of him. He would not stand too close to 1 people, but this is the situation now.

"nice shot!"

'That is, I have to face it! '

"The batter is out!"

As a result, he swung twice, and the third time he wanted to bet on a bad ball with a high inside corner. As a result, the pitcher on the opposite side quickly lowered the ball, and it happened to hit the edge of the high inside corner. Baishan was struck out standing up.

"Be careful, that pitcher can lower the pitch today." According to Xibang's analysis, whether Qingdao, a fastball pitcher, can hit the strike zone depends on his luck, which is basically half and half. With such a high ball speed, he is in good condition. Under such circumstances, every ball can be lowered. Under such circumstances, it is really very difficult to play well, so they can only bet on his state today.

"I see." Yi Ba came onto the field with a bat in his hand. Anyway, he didn't think about luck at the beginning. Even if this fastball pitcher is not good, there seems to be a better pitcher on Qingdao's bench.

Xibang found the final video of the preliminaries in the West Tokyo area. The first-year pitcher named 'Takano', in terms of maturity and mentality, is not at all like a freshman who has only entered school for a few months. He is still a U15 representative in junior high school. Why? It seems that there are more troublesome existences.

If the fastball pitcher is not good, Qingdao will definitely let that troublesome guy come on the field early, which is even worse news for Sibon.

"Come on!" shouted a stick pointing at the pitcher.

. . .

As the game progressed, the atmosphere in Koshien became more and more heated. On the one hand, it was approaching 12:[-] noon, and some spectators began to take out food to eat, and on the other hand, the situation in the arena came to a tense moment.

"Say, audience friends, now we have come to one of the highlights of this game, Qingdao's fastball pitcher vs Xibang's monster hitter, who is better? We have seen that Qingdao's pitcher is still In warming up, I wonder what kind of strategy they will adopt?"

"Seidou's trump card in the first inning was hit by Shuzo Sano with a two-point shot, and then he directly adopted the walk strategy. Now that the pitcher has been rotated, will Qingdou continue to use this strategy?"

"Well, I think everyone still wants to watch the duel between the strong." High school baseball is not a professional baseball, it is more about the children's love for baseball, and it is a youthful sport. In such games, there are too many Repeated walks can easily affect the mood of the children.

"Yes, oh, as soon as Xibang's four sticks reach the strike zone, Qingdao will start the shooting meeting."

On the pitcher's mound, at this time, the light rain around him began to gather and drip down on the front edge of a baseball cap. Fortunately, what Jiang Gu feared most was the heat.

"There is still a little point difference, pay attention to keep your fingers dry, if you can get him out, the momentum will fall to our side at once."

In the end, they still feel that they should take a few shots first, and then walk them if they fail.

Miyuki, who returned to the home plate, patted the ground again, and could only test the edge of the ball zone by throwing well, and he must not throw too sweetly.

Shuzo Sano stared at the pitcher in front of him, and his mentality was not affected. To him, it didn't matter who the opponent was, as long as his strikes were less cold, anyone could hit.

When the first ball came, he watched closely the pitcher's release action, and when the ball was about to reach the home plate, he started the strike action with the momentum of thunder.

'A straight ball with a low inside corner! Sano's conviction made his bat not hesitate, and swung towards the ball with the sound of the wind, but at the moment he swung, the trajectory began to change, as if he went to a friend's house and suddenly remembered that he didn't bring his mobile phone, the white ball started to change. He fell suddenly.

'Fast pointing ball! 'The hitter changed his hitting posture, hit the ball forcefully, and lifted it near the sideline.

"The outside world!"

"The first ball was crossed quickly, and he almost caught up. This hitter is really a great character." Everyone in Qingdao once again realized that Shuzo Sano is amazing, but he himself was not satisfied.

"Tch, this is troublesome, Qingdao will give quite a few strikes, and then this pair of shooters may shoot offensive four-bads to walk me. 'Sibang is now one point behind. As the team's four sticks, it is necessary to use performance to drive the overall atmosphere at this time.

Just as Shuzo Sano thought, after the quick finger was pushed out of bounds, Qingdao became more cautious in shooting. Furutani's pitching was a little unstable, and in the end he shot solidly when he wanted to throw the ball to the sideline. Become a bad ball.

"Four bad, guaranteed!"

"Hey, it's like this again." Some of the audience in the arena began to be dissatisfied. Such voices were scattered, but it also affected Jiang Gu's mood.

"safe!"

"safe!"

Jiang Gu even threw several shots to get to first base, and then vented his dissatisfaction on the pitch.

'Ah, I'm pushing hard again,' but anyway, this guy will be off after a while, let him vent, the original strike push strategy adopted by Xibang also failed once because of Fuguya's fierce throw.

"Three outs, switch sides!"

In the end, Sano left a third base, and Sibang did not score in this inning.

Everyone was in a cold sweat, watching Jiang Gu return to the bench, maybe it was because of the comparison, every time Jiang Gu played, everyone would sweat, this time he maintained without losing points, it was really lucky.

Qingdao's side is not a headache. The state of Jianggu can only be tested on the court, but the probability of whether he can suppress the ball is half and half.

Another figure returned to the bench at the same time, "The next round is about to start, I'll take a drink."

Then Takano got everyone's attention, "What's the matter, look at me, Maomao." '

What he didn't know was that everyone at this time thought of the pitcher in the next inning, and their moods became more stable in an instant.

Although Qingdao's line-up was also suppressed by the opponent in this game, but fortunately, he left a one-point advantage until the seventh game, and handed it over to Takano from the seventh game, "Probably there is no problem." '

"I... continue to go to the bullpen to warm up." Gao Zhiye always felt a little embarrassed, so he ran out of the bench muttering.

In fact, he can probably understand everyone's thoughts, and he didn't say that he must think that he can not lose a point, but he will have more trust in him.

'Is it good or bad to pin your hopes on me like this? '

"Three outs, switch sides!"

Before he stabilized his mentality, the game was already his turn.

At this time, the rain weakened, and the surrounding vision became clearer. For the first time, Takano boarded the pitcher's mound of Koshien. Looking up from the center of the field, he unexpectedly felt a feeling of loneliness. , 'Is this stadium so big? '
