King's Green Road

Chapter 108 Part108 Final Pitching Battle
Played in the second half of the three innings,

With a lot of energy, Narimiya quickly dealt with Hakushu who was the ninth runner-up and Kuramochi who was the first runner-up.

Then, with two outs, he faced Ryosuke Kominato again.

"Hi--!"

"How's the game going? I just wanted to watch it on my phone, but it ran out of battery!"

At this time, in a store in Tokyo, Hirakawa, a third-year high school student in the city, pushed the door in, looked at his teammates who were already sitting in the store, and asked about the progress of the game.

"Ha, Hirakawa, you still came here after all."

One of the contestants from the city university looked at Ping Chuan who had just rejected him, but now he still came, and couldn't help but tease him.

"Didn't you say you want to study?"

"Shut up! You're so wordy!" Ping Chuan became a little annoyed at what he said, and couldn't help yelling at the other party.

Then he watched the live broadcast of the finals on TV, and found something incredible.

"Huh? Daocheng has been taken by Xianchi?!"

At this time, the showdown between Kominato Ryosuke and Narimiya Naruto was playing on TV.

Kominato Ryosuke swung the bat and hit the ball to the right of the mound. Narimiya stepped aside and saw a figure flashing behind him. It was Daocheng's shortstop Shirakawa.

"Snapped!"

A clean spin sent the ball to The Hills at first base.

"Out!"

"Three outs, switch offense and defense!"

In the first half of the third round, Qingdao was also beaten up and down by Cheng Gongming.

"No way, the ball didn't go through! Daocheng seems really hard to deal with!"

After Hirakawa saw that Ryosuke Kominato's blow was caught and out of the game, he raised his forehead in annoyance and shouted.

"Are you cheering for Qingdao?"

The chubby city junior asked Hirakawa strangely.

"I'm not cheering for either party!"

It's just that everyone can see that Hirakawa's mouth is wrong.

On the side, the former captain of the third year of the city, Daqian, has seen the true state of Cheng Gongming, "His ball still looks unstable, it seems that Cheng Gongming has not entered the state..."

Sitting next to Daimae, Maeichi junior ace Manaka Manaka watched the video on TV silently.

In the second half of the third round, it was Daocheng Industrial's turn to attack.
Qingdao's starting players also returned to the court to defend again.

As soon as he entered the field, Miyuki also gave a signal to let Fuguya throw the ball with full firepower. Daocheng's players could only try their best to entangle, but they still couldn't avoid being eliminated.

"It's so fast, even watching TV, I can feel the power. This first-year pitcher is really ridiculous." Takeda, a third-year player in the city's third-year high school who was watching the game in the store, saw Furutani's pitching. I couldn't help but exclaimed.

"So far, the dominance of the competition is also on Qingdao's side..."

Kamijou who was beside Takeda also stuck his chin and echoed.

"But although it looks very gorgeous, the players in Daocheng are also hitting fouls non-stop, so he won't let him strike them out easily..."

Zhutian's next words also stunned the city university players present:
That's true.

"Is it okay to throw the ball with such full firepower from the beginning?" Hirakawa, who was standing on the side watching the game, also asked worriedly.

"There is no need to worry about this at all, Qingdao can still change pitchers."

Shinaka responded to Hirakawa's question with a rare opening this time.

"They probably want to make Yugu survive in his current state. After all, Qingdao's pitcher is not just Yugu."

Daqian also folded his arms and expressed his speculation.

"That's right, after all, Tanba, the ace, hasn't played yet."

Hearing the words of their captain Daqian, Ping Chuan suddenly realized.

"Whoa, No. 6 batter in strikeouts!"

While a few people were talking, they saw that Jiang Gu was also the third hitter who struck out in the third inning on the TV.

Ended the game again with three ups and three downs.

"That's great, Jiang Gu!"

"Good cast, down the valley!"

"here you go!"

"It's great, three ups and three downs!"

After the exchange of offense and defense, Jiang Gu ran back to the rest area with the other players of Qingdao amidst the cheers of his teammates.

Supervisor Kataoka in the rest area of ​​Qingdao folded his hands, looked at Furuya who came back from the game, and asked Chris who was behind him as the recorder:

"How many pitches has Jianggu thrown so far?"

Then Chris began to look through the information he had recorded, "... 56 balls... The opponent has been throwing out balls often, so the number of balls is more than I expected..." Chris was also surprised by this discovery.

At this moment, Jiang Gu also came back sweating profusely.

"Go and change your underwear, Jiang Gu!"

Miyuki, who went back to the rest area together, couldn't help frowning when he saw the sweat rolling down Yu Gu's head like he didn't want money and his face turning slightly pale.

The temperature is too high today, and it is estimated that the limit of the valley will be reached soon. It is still unknown whether it can last until the fifth game.

"Drink a glass of warm water!"

At this time, Eijun took a cup for the second time and someone handed it to Jiang Gu,

"Yeah!" After taking the water glass, although Jiang Gu liked to drink hot water on such a hot day, he reached out to take it without hesitation, and when he was about to drink it up, he was caught by Eijun. Reach out to stop.

"It's not good to drink too much, half a glass is fine."

"Oh..." Jiang Gu nodded cutely, for this kind of thing, he still obeyed.

Then, after Jiang Gu changed his underwear, he sat on the bench to recuperate.

"I'll fan you to cool down!"

Sitting on the bench, Gao felt quite hot and strong, so he made a suggestion, and by the way, he was going to pick up the fan at hand to fan the strong.

"I'm coming, Eijun!"

Seeing this, Haruichi suddenly took the cattail fan in Eijun's left hand and began to fan Jianggu.

Jiang Gu's hair was messed up by the strong wind from Chunshi.

But the mood feels pretty good, and I no longer feel too hot.

Eijun was puzzled by Haruichi's strange behavior, why did Haruichi become so proactive.

Kominato Ryosuke not far away has been paying attention to Eijun who is also injured like him, so he naturally discovered his brother's strange behavior.

But it was just a slight twinkle in his eyes, and he didn't do much.

"I really didn't expect that Daocheng hadn't hit a hit until the end of the third inning. I didn't expect it to become like this!"

Owada Akiko on the press seat looked at the three consecutive zeros on the scoreboard and was very moved.

"Yes!"

Mine Fujio echoed what his female assistant said.

"Now it's the turn of Qingdao's strong stick to hit the field. If he can score in this round, he can take a breath..."

Owada Akiko looked at the first fourth inning of the game, the batting order on the field was also Qingdao's turn to clear the bases, so it was natural to think that Qingdao could score again this time.

It's just that Mine Fujio interrupted Yamato Akiko before he could finish speaking.

"Daocheng will not allow Qingdao to completely control the dominant power so easily, and then you will know."

"Yes, Senior Feng!"

Although Owada Akiko didn't quite believe it, she still believed in Senior Feng's words, so she could keep reading.

As if to verify that Mine Fujio's words were correct, after Isashiki Jun swung his bat on the field,
The baseball flew high into the sky above the center field, and was caught and killed by the center field guard Karl Ross.

"Out!"

"Ah, what a pity!"

"It's actually a center field fly ball!"

"Starting to hit his ball!"

"No problem!"

"team leader!"

With the supporters of Qingdao cheering loudly after the regret, the news that the next hitter will come on the radio also came.

[Fourth bat, first baseman Yuuki! 】

Qingdao's brass band also played his percussion support song for Yuki who stepped into the percussion zone at the right time.

"man--

want to own-

Like flying in the sky—"

"Ah! It's so loud!"

Cheng Gongming, who was about to start pitching on the pitcher's mound, was really in a bad mood. It's just three innings. What's there to be proud of? He will let them understand what the gap is.
