King's Green Road

Chapter 30 Part30M Menxi High School ([-])
The next day, the weather was fine and the temperature was around 30°C. Fuchu Civic Stadium
As I said before, only the teams that have entered the semi-finals in West Tokyo can play at the largest baseball stadium in Tokyo, the Meiji Jingu Stadium, and there will even be live broadcasts of the games on radio and television.

But for the first few rounds of the summer preliminaries, the treatment is naturally not so good, and the venue of the game will only be held in a relatively small baseball field.

Moreover, the number of spectators was determined by the supporters of the two schools watching the competition. After all, it was only a preliminaries competition in the region, and it was not as popular as the top four in the region.

At this time, in addition to his own cheerleaders and Qingdao players, Qingdao's audience also welcomes many spectators who support Qingdao to watch.

The auditorium on Qingdao's side was full of people as far as the eye could see, but the supporters on Mimenxi's side were few and far between, and they could almost only hear the voices cheering for Qingdao.

"Cheer up Qingdao!!"

"If you want to win, go to Koshien!!"

"Director Kataoka!!"

"Yuki, Isashiki!!!"

"Miyuki!!"

"Kuramo!!"

. . . . .

"Please advise me!!"

"salute!!!"

The two teams rushed to the middle of the court, and after saluting and greeting each other under the witness of the referees, the air defense siren sounded. . .

Now begins the second round of the preliminaries in West Tokyo, and the match between Seido High School and Mimon West High School officially begins.

The first base is next to Mimenxi High School, and the third base is next to Qingdao High School.

In this game, based on the results of the two team captains' guessing games, Qingdao's side will attack first, and Mimenxi will attack later.

Because the Mimenxi players are the first to defend, they have 5 minutes to familiarize themselves with the field and practice their defense.

"Hey, hey...how could it be the guy with the number 10 on his back! Isn't he the starting ace lefty at all!"

Kuramochi, who is the first bat, is also doing warm-up exercises with a bat on his shoulders, but he was quite surprised when he saw the pitcher of Mimensi, "And he is also a pitcher with low shoulders and side throws." (Д)ノ

Qingdao was surprised to see that Mimensi's pitcher was not their ace pitcher, but a backup pitcher on the 10th. There was no such person in the previous information.

Chris also hurriedly opened the information of Mimensi's players recorded in his notebook.

"Nanping Shou is in the third grade, and his back number is 10. He did pitch as a pitcher in the first grade, but after that, there is no record of his pitching in official games. Although I don't think it is very good, But the only thing that comes to mind is that he spent over two years working on the low-shoulder side shot."

Friends in the rest area who heard Chris’ guess:!!!∑(Дノ)ノ, true or false, it’s terrible to sacrifice more than two years for one summer.

"It was my fault for not noticing that."

Chris is very sorry for his mistakes in this area, for fear of causing adverse effects.

"It's not your fault. No one would have thought that such a thing would happen. Besides, our players are all very good. This situation is not a big deal to them."

Director Kataoka looked at the opposite rest area, and was not too surprised by this situation. It was just that Director Mimenshi sacrificed his players for more than two years to practice low-shoulder side shots. As a player, he was very displeased with this. .

"Game start!"

After the 5-minute fielding practice was over, the home plate referee raised his left hand and signaled loudly that the match between Qingdao and Mimensi in the first inning officially started.

At this time, the starting player list of the two teams also appeared on the large electronic screen of the stadium at this time, so that the audience present could see at a glance who the players sent by each team were.

"Kuramochi! Boom!"

"Use your footsteps to disturb them!"

In the auditorium, a group of people, represented by former Sono Kenta and Kanemaru Shinji, held up their trumpets, watching Kuramochi standing on the strike zone, cheering for him loudly.

Kuramochi in the strike zone looked at the pitcher Mimensi on the opposite mound with a smile on his face. How should I deal with this pitcher I have never met before?
As Qingdao's No. [-] batter, his mission is to hit the bases and create scoring opportunities, but even if he hits blindly, it probably won't help.Let's watch a ball first.

"1 strike!!"

Kuramochi, who was standing on the left batting bench, watched Mimenzi's first pitch, and then his expression collapsed.

The ball is so slow! (╬￣皮￣), this guy’s head posture is much inferior to Kawakami’s. The ball goes up and then sinks, but for me who is used to fast balls, such slow balls are really tricky to deal with. .

At this time, seeing Supervisor Junichi Junichi, who had scored a strike in his home quickly, he was very happy to stand on the steps of the rest area and talk to the people in his rest area, "Hahaha, look at their expressions, Qingdao I can only stare blankly at this kind of pitcher who has no information."

This is the first rule of victory of Qianjianliu: No matter what method is used, the first thing is to gain an advantage, and the team that is struggling in the first battle will be easily killed as long as there is a little wavering. ()
Everyone in the rest area was very helpless and said that it is good to supervise yourself and be happy.

"2 strike!!"

At this time, Kuramochi in the strike zone was also caught in a helpless hard fight, and his face was also very ugly (╬◣д◢), it was really terrible, he was forced to this point and could not miss any balls.and. . .

Kuramochi looked up at Ryosuke Kominato, who was squatting in the hitting waiting area, and wanted to let the players know what kind of pitcher he was, but I didn't. . .

At this time, Mimensi's pitcher also threw his third ball. Kuramochi looked at this ball, the ball was very low, but it seemed that he could barely enter the strike zone.

It seemed that it was time to swing the bat. Kuramochi swung his bat vigorously at this time. He didn't expect that it was a low-angle change ball. He missed the ball, but Mimensi's catcher missed it. An undead strikeout situation.

"The runners start running!!!"

Kuramochi also threw away the bat immediately and ran to first base.Tsk~ Is it a curveball or a slider?The trajectory of the ball is too slow to see the specific path of the ball just now.

Although Mimensi's catcher missed the change ball, he quickly blocked it with his body and did not fall behind. After picking up the ball, the ball was passed when Kuramo was only one third away from the first base. In the hands of the first baseman.

"Ah! I was struck out at the very beginning! (〝▼皮▼)" The auditorium felt very sorry to see this scene.

"I'm so sorry, Ryo-san. (-person-)"

Kuramochi looked at Ryosuke Kominato who was about to step into the strike zone, and was extremely sorry that he didn't get any useful information to give to his teammates.

"It doesn't matter, it's enough to see the change ball."

Ryosuke Kominato looked back to see if Supervisor Kataoka, the bench seat, had given any instructions. He saw that Supervisor Kataoka was holding the thumb of his right hand with his left hand, implying that it would be good to hit the missed throw.

Kominato Ryosuke nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and stood on the strike zone.

. . . . . .

Looking at the offensive and defensive battles on the court at this time, Miyuki also found the starting pitcher Akira Yugu, who still needs to practice shooting before going on the field, to check his status, "Come and practice passing and catching the ball for a while Bar."

Looking at the expressionless Jiang Gu, to be honest, I really can't tell whether this guy is really calm or nervous. It would be great if he could run a little faster before this guy hits the mound. . .

Akatsuki Fuguchi just nodded slightly reservedly to Miyuki's request to pass and catch the ball.

The two of them went to the cowshed.

. . . . . .

At this time, the duel on the court was also in a stalemate. Kominato Ryosuke let go of the ball that was not easy to play, and did not seem to be eager to make a shot.

"Bad ball!!"

After Mimensi's catcher caught another bad ball from the low ball, he glanced at Qingdao's second batter with a headache. This guy was not tempted by the low ball at all. Specializes in the outside corner of the ball.

Mimency's catcher signaled to his own pitcher to throw a pitch that was diplomatically low on the edge of the strike zone and the ball zone.

But looking at the ball thrown by his own pitcher, he felt that his head was not only hurting, but his eyes could not wait to stare out at this moment (▼ヘ▼#), this big fool, the ball is too sweet, he will be beaten I'm out.

Kominato Ryosuke was also delighted when he saw the oncoming ball. The ball he was waiting for came.

"Oops, the stick is too long." Kominato Ryosuke looked at the ball he hit and predicted that something bad would happen.

"Out!"

As the referee's words fell, the result was not surprising. It was a third base hit and a fly ball, which was directly caught and out by Mimenxi's third baseman.

Qingdao's attack in the first round was unexpected, and his opponent Mi Menxi quickly got two outs. This was beyond the expectations of Qingdao's supporters in the audience. Facing a metropolitan high school, it started like this unfavorable.

"Isashiki, you have to hit the ball!"

"Isashiki, hit!"

"Bark! Master Golden Retriever of Qingdao!!"

"Oki, Isashiki!"

"Come on, bearded senior!! ヾ(▽)ノ" Eijun, who entered indiscriminately, yelled vigorously along with the people in the bench seats and audience seats.

Eijun was in the rest area, listening to the sound of cheering for Isashiki Jun who was standing in the strike zone as the third batter, and was very happy.

Especially the nickname Golden Retriever, tsk~ To be honest, it is really vivid, and the nickname Senior Beard is also very good, how can this pet name be missing.

"Hey, ah, I'm not a golden retriever or a bearded senior, Sawamura, just wait for me!!"

Eijun: Σ(°△°|||)ヽ(*.>Д<)o゜

Isashiki yelled, turned around and swung his bat, and then the baseball ruthlessly avoided the bat that wanted to get in close contact with him, got into the catcher's holster behind Mimensi, and kept it own "innocence".

"1 strike!!"

Because Isashiki Junya hit too hard, the helmet flew out, and even almost twisted his waist.

After regaining his strength, Jun Isashiki swung his bat very quickly in the face of another low ball from the outside corner thrown by Mimensi's pitcher.

"Roar ah ah one by one"

This time, the baseball failed to keep its "innocence" and was touched by the baseball in a comprehensive way. During this vigorous swing, the baseball was taken to the right field.

"Oh one one, hit it!"

"Isashiki run away!"

Jun Isashiki began to run the bases under the surprised look of the Mimenshi pitcher, and he was so angry that he didn't expect that Mimenshi's and him would all use outside corner kicks to decide the victory, tsk~

"Snapped!"

"Out, three out!"

"Offensive and defensive exchange!!!"

Jun Isashiki's hit was caught by a fielder who had been waiting deep in right field for a long time, and he was out of the game.

"Wow! The players from Qingdao actually got kicked up and down three times in the first round!"

"I didn't expect Mimenxi's right fielder to defend so far. It seems that they have studied Qingdao quite thoroughly!"

"That's right! The opening attack was actually solved like this."

The people in the auditorium were also quite surprised. The opening attack was so misfired. It can't be seen that Mimenxi is quite capable.

The first half of the first round ended with Qingdou scoring zero, and it was Qingdou's turn to defend in the second half.

"Come on, Fugu!" Miyuki also greeted Fugu Akatsuki who was opposite him.

I originally thought that I could score some points before Jiang Gu came on the field so that he could relax and shoot, but it seemed impossible.

"Let's pitch with the goal of striking out all batters later. I have no intention of dragging the game to the 9th inning. Go all out from the beginning, Fubuya! (ˊωˋ*)"

"That's what I planned from the beginning, Miyuki-senpai. (;[-]_[-])"

o((⊙﹏⊙))o, really, I just wanted to defuse the tense atmosphere, so I said these things to him. This kid has not changed at all.

While thinking, he passed the ball to Akira Fugu on the mound.

Gao Leng faced Miyuki and passed the ball, and then stretched out the ball cover and missed the ball. The ball hit the back of his ball cover and rolled to the ground.

Furutani's expression changed Σ(°△°|||)︴, and he ran down the mound to chase the ball, then accidentally kicked the ball with his foot, rolled a little farther, and managed to retrieve the ball.

The audience who saw this scene were all overjoyed, it was so funny.

Seeing this scene, Superintendent Chien Junichi of Mimenxi was also happy to knock on the railing of the rest area with the horn, "This first grader can't even catch the ball, and that first grader is so nervous that his whole body is stiffヾ(≧ ∪≦*)ノ〃."

Maybe they can’t even hit the strike zone, ╮(‵▽′)╭, thinking of this, Supervisor Qian Jian wanted their first hitter to pinch his cap to signal that he should not hit the ball except for missed pitches.

Mimensi's first hitter also pinched the brim of his hat to express his understanding.

After Mimensi's first bat came to the strike zone, he stood close to the home plate, raised his bat and waved it, and put on a striking posture, "Come on!"

"Start pitching!"

The chief referee raised his left hand to signal the start of the second half of the first round.

Seeing Mimenxi's first hitter standing so far ahead, Yuxing couldn't help gloating (￣y▽￣)~*.

Standing so close, he doesn't care what the consequences will be.Akatsuki Fugu turned his attention to the pitcher's mound, and next, will Fugu's starting start be good or bad? !
