King's Green Road

Chapter 414 16. Fanwai Rongchun is in Daocheng

Minister Lin Tian in the rest area of ​​Daocheng looked at the current situation of the stadium,
Looking at this future ace who was given high hopes, he muttered happily: "One is out, no one is on base..."

Eijun on the mound looked at Kuramochi, who had been knocked out by him, and pursed his lips slightly: I actually got the first out in the big game. Facing Qingdao High School, I didn't lose my composure. dare not face it.

Immediately Rongchun closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

So, no matter what, he will perform well in this game, no matter who the next hitter is, he will go all out.

Harada Masamori at the home plate was also very happy. After all, he put the position on the base and thought it would be difficult to drive the opponent off the base. However, Eijun, a junior, surprised himself. The pinning technique is indeed very strong.

The most important thing is that the timing is really good, and it seems that he understands Kuramochi's series of actions. After all, it was obvious just now that Kuramochi has been stared at first base by Eijun. Who would have thought that this guy would actually Really that bold.

Eijun, on the other hand, thought that the other party would do this, and it succeeded.

After thinking for a while, he immediately put his mind on dealing with the second blow. Qingdao's second blow is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his striking skills are very strong.

At this moment, Ryosuke Kominato on the strike zone also watched the situation on the court, and he was inevitably a little surprised that his junior was pinned out, and he also had a general idea of ​​what he should do next.

If Kuramochi was on the bases, he would definitely push the bases, but now the result is that there is no one on base after an out, so the only thing he can do is to consume the opponent's energy and the number of pitches as much as possible, and choose four balls base.

Eijun, the straight ball from the outside corner of the first ball doesn't need to be deliberately thrown in the strike zone, but don't deviate too much. After all, the opponent's ball selection ability is very good. If it is too far, it is equivalent to giving the opponent a bad ball.

At this moment, Harada moved his right hand slightly between his crotch, instructing Eijun to throw the first ball.

After Eijun nodded immediately, he took advantage of the opportunity to lift up his footsteps and picked up a lot of dust, stepped forward quickly, and then threw the baseball in his hand.

The pitch from the outside corner!
After Kominato Ryosuke judged the approximate path of the ball, he felt that the ball was quite easy to hit, so when he swung the bat in his hand, his eyes happened to see that the baseball was about to collide with the bat near the outer corner of the home plate. When it was on, it slid slightly invisibly towards the outer position again.

Is it actually a change ball from the outside corner? !

Ryosuke Kominato, who was standing on the left side of the play area, secretly complained that this change was too subtle, and he was not sure about it.

It is also difficult for him to hit the ball perfectly with the bat in such a posture, so relying on his extraordinary striking skills, he instantly switched the bat held in his right hand to his left hand, leaned forward, and held the bat with one hand. The bat hits the ball.

But then regretted it.

He might as well have missed the swing, at least he has another chance to swing the bat instead of being scored directly.

"Chong!"

"Is this posture true or false?!"

Eijun, who threw the ball, was surprised for a moment, but he still ran forward very quickly, just because although Ryosuke Kominato hit it with an excellent posture, the ball almost went towards him. rolling on the front,
"It's like holding a bat with one hand!"

Liangsang's striking technique is really powerful, and Chunshi is equally powerful. Is this the striking technique inherited from Xiaozuo's family? !
"Eijun, pass over to first base!"

Harada Masamori at home plate also directed Eijun to pass the baseball in his hand to first base when Eijun ran to pick up the ball.

Winning Kominato Ryosuke, this goal couldn't be easier.

"I got it!"

Eijun responded to Shimoharada-senpai after picking up the ball. At the same time, he turned around cleanly and quickly passed the ball into the glove of the first baseman.

"Out!"

Kominato Ryosuke, who was heading towards the first base, was blocked and out when he was two steps away from the first base bag, which made Daocheng sweat. The speed was quite fast, and he was almost caught by this guy hit base.

I really can't see it, Qing Dao's second player's speed is quite surprising.

Minato Ryosuke, who was out, still had a smiling expression on his face, seemingly indifferent, but his right hand was tightly clenched into a fist.

The color of the eyes is even more obscure.

When Kuramochi in the rest area of ​​Qingdao saw Kominato-senpai running the base, he still found out the clues. As a partner, he is still very familiar with his senior, is he injured?Or is there some other reason?
So far, with Kominato Ryosuke's exit, the situation has also come to two outs.

At this time, Qingdao ushered in a clearing line.

"Ah Chun! Please!"

"Isashiki—!"

At the same time, the Qingdao spectators on the first base side of the stands were not very happy, looking a little sleepy, unexpectedly the first inning offense was so difficult.

"It's only the first game!"

"calm down!"

"Come on! Qingdao!"

"Isashiki, come on!"

But they are still very enthusiastic to cheer for the team they support, hoping that they can work harder in the future and not be suppressed by the opponent.

At this time, the voice of the commentator also came from the sky above the court.

[Although the first inning in Daocheng ran into a crisis of someone on first base!However, with the efforts of Sawamura from Daocheng, the base runner was eliminated. In such a situation where no one hits the base and two outs, it is also the turn of Qingdao to clear the bases. What will happen in the end!Please look forward to the next exciting game -! ! 】

[Third bat, center fielder, Isashiki! 】

"Ah Chun, this pitcher's ball seems to move when it reaches your hand. It should be 90.00% sure that it is a weird ball. You must pay attention to this when you hit it, otherwise it will be easy to miss it."

When Ryosuke Kominato passed by Isashiki, he still gave instructions very responsibly.

"Ah! I see!"

Isashiki then walked onto the field with the bat in his hand.

A first-year pitcher, a quirky ball that moves the ball at hand, and a carter ball, tsk, it's really unusual!

But no matter what, I'll call it out.

"Although two people are out, and there is no one on the bases, they meet Qing Dao's strong bat, but the pitcher Daocheng is only a freshman, so it may be difficult to win smoothly, right?"

Looking at the situation in front of him, Owada Akiko sighed.

"Isashiki Jun is a hitter who is good at hitting any ball to the right side of the court, and Seidou should really hope that he can definitely have an advantage in the first inning..."

Mine Fujio felt that he would not misunderstand Aomichi's plan, but wouldn't Daocheng know?For sure.

"However, the specifics will depend on how much Daocheng, a first-year pitcher who turned out to be born out of nowhere, can play in this competition."

At this time, on the side of the Seido bench, Director Kataoka stood at the entrance of the rest area, and gave a signal to Jun Isashiki on the strike zone——

[After deciding on the ball to play, don't hesitate——! 】

Jun Isashiki touched the brim of his hat and received the signal.

At this time, Harada Masamori at the home plate did not sit still, and directed the players in the infield and infield to defend a little to the right. At that time, the Daocheng players were also ready to catch the ball and block the offensive at any time.

Infield hits, outfield sluggers, goofs and grounders can all happen.

Especially this one who swings very boldly, likes Qingdao's third club which seems to be messy but has traces, but his strikes are not reckless at all.

If you don't pay attention, you will be careless and underestimate the enemy.

Harada Masamori moved his right hand between his crotch a few times, made a series of signal signals, and then looked at Eijun seriously.

As long as this hitter is successfully dealt with, we will take over the dominance of the game——, Eijun, you know that, right? !

The hitter on the strike zone is a guy who likes to hit the pitcher's first pitch, so you must be tricky on the first pitch!
After seeing Harada-senpai's password, Eijun also knew how powerful Isashiki-senpai was. It was really common for the ball to be sent flying in the team practice before.

He nodded knowingly, and then threw the baseball in his hand.

"call out!"

Jun Isashiki, who was on the strike zone, was also closely watching every move of the pitcher Narimiya Narigami, no matter what he must continue to hit the line.

Facing this freshman this time, Isashiki Junya still inevitably seemed a little nervous. One was the continuous pressure of hitting the line, and the other was the uneasiness about the unknown strength of this pitcher, which made his nerves extremely tense.

"Come on... I will call out!!"

Come on, give me the inside corner!
Isashiki, who was thinking like this in his heart, couldn't help but be delighted when he saw that the pitcher's pitch was really coming towards the inner corner at the next moment.

Great...as I predicted...? ! ! !

It's a pity that before Jun Isashiki was happy, the baseball changed. It was not the small change that Ryosuke Kominato said, but a relatively large angle of refraction. This is undoubtedly a change ball from the inside corner!
Carterball no doubt! !

Jun Isashiki didn't expect that Daocheng's pair of catchers would throw a Carter ball when they faced him with the first shot. He really wanted to thank him!Soulless guy! ! !
Even if it's a carter ball, he has to hit the ball to him——, bastard, don't underestimate my swing! (#-_-)
"Whoa. Whoa!!"

Isashiki yelled and swung the bat in his hand at the baseball with all his strength, which was actually extraordinarily powerful.

"Chong!"

The white ball that was hit soared high into the sky from the home plate, and then turned into a white light and flew towards the sky.

The commentator's impassioned and emotional voice came from the radio.

[Seomichi's Isashiki-san hit the first pitch with a swing!oh!But it looks like he hit the ball high!However, Daocheng's infielder defended, but the position was a bit wide, so will this ball fall in a very interesting place? ! 】

"Second baseman, step back!"

At the same time, Harada Masamori at the home plate changed his expression when Jun Isashiki hit the ball, but he still reacted quickly and got up immediately. Then he lifted his mask and shouted loudly to command the second baseman Tsubasa Hirai who was defending the infield. Because at this moment, the flight path and approximate fall position of the baseball are in the sky above him.

This guy, Eijun threw the ball so cunningly, this guy can still swing the bat completely... His posture is out of shape! !
At this moment, Harada's heart was filled with shock towards Isashiki Jun.

"Fall for me! Fly over——!"

Jun Isashiki, who threw away his bat, ran towards the bases while paying attention to the movement of the baseball, and secretly prayed that the ball would land safely.

"boom!"

Because the infield defense is a little bit to the right, and the outfield is the same reason, it is a coincidence that baseball is one step away from the distance. A ball that can be scored under normal defense conditions is so easy to come to meet it. Center fielder Cal Ross, second baseman Tsubasa Hirai and shortstop Shirakawa who came to assist landed in the middle of the three-point line, and it was relatively silent.

The damn baseball hits.

Cheng Gongming: No way! ⊙⊙!
Seeing the baseball hitting just like that, Cheng Gongming opened his mouth wide and raised his triangular eyes, he couldn't believe it.

"What are you guys doing? It's so useless to let the ball hit the ground, isn't it? How can you feel at ease when you throw the ball later!"

"Student is watching you!!"

"Don't be so unmotivated! Come on!"

Standing in the left field, Cheng Gongming couldn't help but yelled and mocked his defensive players, with a heartbroken and disbelieving expression on his face.

If he changes positions, he will definitely catch him.

"Where did the usual training results go!! I can't even catch the ball at this position, it's really a waste of training!!!"

Hearing this, the players on the Daocheng field really wanted to tie up their aces and beat them up. They had never seen such an arrogant and jumpy pitcher.

They also knew that they had screwed up this time, but they didn't need their ace to yell like that, thanks to the fact that the pitcher wasn't Cheng Gongming.

Otherwise they would have been talked about even more.

"It's okay, two outs! Come on everyone!"

Eijun smiled and encouraged his teammates loudly on the mound, not affected by the hit at all.

Everyone in Daocheng: Wow!This junior pitcher is really a little angel, especially compared to their arrogant ace. Fortunately, they have such an angel junior to save their little hearts.

Alas, the junior is really too good-tempered.

"For the sake of my juniors, I won't argue with you. After all, my juniors have forgiven your stupid actions so generously. As the ace, how can I criticize you stupid guys!" ㄟ(≧ ◇≦)ㄏ

Cheng Gongming looked at Rongchun on the mound and couldn't help sighing.

If it's him, comfort these guys who are not good at such things, I'm afraid they are thinking about peach! !Dream faster! !After the game is over, I must teach him well, so I can't be so good-tempered.

These guys are going to push their feet.

Daocheng team members: "..."

Destroy it!Can you still have such an ace? ! !

At the same time, the excited voice of the commentator was once again floating on the court.

【Ah, it fell——!The ball landed right in the middle of the second baseman, center fielder and shortstop!After seeing the ball fall, Isashiki-san hit the first base safely! ! ! 】

[Qingdao High School scored another hit! 】

Jun Isashiki, who was standing on the bag at first base, raised his clenched left hand and shouted, "Ahhhhhh!!"

He continued the stick.

The move of this hit once again ignited the passion of the audience in the stands.

"Oh--!"

The supporters in the Seido stands also raised their hands and responded loudly to Jun Isashiki's yelling on the field. It seems that there is still a good chance.

After all, the next club is their four trump cards.

Miyuki in the rest area also looked at Eijun Sawamura on the mound. He was a little uneasy for no reason. He always felt a little too smooth. It didn't really feel like it was true. Daocheng sent him up. Level? !
While that's nice, it's clearly not enough.

In addition to the first round being a bit unfamiliar with his pitching, it is not difficult for them to score hits later.

Maybe there is something to be seen in this matchup with the four sticks?After all, the strength of the Zhe team will not be solved so easily.

"What, are you worried?"

Chris glanced at Miyuki with a worried expression.

"One thing, I don't know why I feel that Daocheng's first-year strength will not be so simple, and I feel a little uneasy."

Miyuki expressed his feelings with a wry smile. To be honest, his intuition in this area is still very accurate, so even if Yuuki Tetsu also played, he was not at ease.

"Don't worry, we have experienced so much, we won't be stumbled by a little difficulty, does Yuyuki think we can't win?"

Chris smiled slightly when he heard the words.

"Senior Chris, you are right, it's still early!"

Miyuki sighed and nodded to show that he understood, but his eyes were still fixed on Yuuki who was stepping up to the strike zone.

[The next hitter is Seidou High School's main gun - fourth batter, first baseman, Yuki-san! 】

Amidst the cheers from the audience in the Qingdao stands and the cheering music from the band, the man with the number "No. 3" on his back stood calmly and solemnly on the strike zone with a bat in his hand.

As a result of Qingdao's hard work in attacking, the defensive players in Daocheng changed their previous thinking.

They began to fear their opponents.

After all, Daocheng didn't really regard Qingdao as an evenly matched opponent even at the beginning, just because no matter how you look at it, Qingdao is weaker than them on paper, but the result is that if you don't pay attention, it is very likely that they They will lose the game, so they don't dare to be careless and underestimate the enemy.

At the home plate, Harada Masamori glanced at the man on the strike zone fearfully, then turned his gaze to the mound and smiled. Eijun, who had a non-slip powder bag on his left hand, frowned slightly.

Fine, no problem.

He couldn't help but rejoice that it was Rongchun who encountered such a situation. If Ah Ming, tsk... the picture is so beautiful, he dare not think about it!
Especially the guy who doesn't forget to yell in the outfield.

"Azhe, hit it! This is the time to go all out. Get the score!"

Amid Isashiki Jun's shout, Eijun on the mound calmly dropped the powder bag in his hand, and the look in his honey-colored eyes became more serious.

At first glance, it seems to be extraordinarily awe-inspiring and inviolable.

"call out!"

At the same time as Isashiki yelled, Eijun suddenly restrained the ball very abruptly, and almost let Isashiki, who was concentrating on cheering Yuuki, out of the game.

"Snapped!"

Thanks to Isashiki's pure distance from the base, he managed to touch the bag of first base a few tenths of a second before being tagged.

"Safety!"

Jun Isashiki stepped on the base bag and patted the dust on his body, and then glanced at Eijun on the mound in fear. He was really almost pinned out. It was really dangerous, this guy really pinned down The technique is amazing, and the number of outs that won Kuramochi is definitely not an accidental relationship.

His expression changed!It seems that he is more serious about confronting us.

Miyuki, who followed Furutani to keep fit and returned to the rest area of ​​Qingdao to prepare for the attack, was also the first to notice the change in Eijun.

It was a catcher's intuition.

After getting the ball from the first baseman, Eijun looked at Zhezu in the opposite strike zone. He suddenly wanted to see what it would be like to play against Zhezu now, so Eijun completely ignored the home plate. The catcher in his own house throws the baseball in his hand toward the home plate willfully.

"call out!"

White. Idiot!This ball is so easy to play!Moreover, he actually ignored his secret signal. Is this a bad habit that Eijun learned from Ah Ming? !
Subconsciously, Masamori Harada naturally regarded this move as a failure to learn from Narimiya Ming, rather than Eijun's nature. It can only be said that these two pitchers, both junior and senior, have presented their own personalities to the players. .

And it also made everyone ingrain this impression deeply.

Although Harada Masamori thought of excuses for Eijun, he was really overwhelmed by his junior's willful and reckless behavior.

This is the strongest hitter in Qingdao, and he is so reckless.

"Shh!"

Yuki on the strike zone, no matter whether it was random or premeditated, naturally he would not miss this ball, and quickly swung the bat in his hand.

"Snapped!"

It's just that the baseball got into the catcher's glove one step faster than Yuuki's swing, making a crisp sound.

Is he swinging slowly?
Yuuki Tetsu was also very puzzled after seeing this ball. He obviously swung the bat according to the accurate ball speed, right?

At the same time, the big stone in Harada's heart, who caught the ball indirectly, finally fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was not thrown out, otherwise it would really be the end of the rhythm.

But I didn't expect Rongchun to throw such a pure red straight ball with the same initial velocity and tail velocity, but... no matter how amazing the shot is, this guy is still too messy. ()
This ball also stunned the audience present: "..." Doubting life, why do they feel that this ball seems to speed up halfway? !Are they wrong, or there really is such a ball.

And it's still in the red, Daocheng is really a little too courageous.

A few minutes later, the broadcast also heard an unbelievable commentary:

[For the first ball, Sawamura from Daocheng chose to throw the ball into the red... Facing Qingdao's four main guns, he actually chose to have a decisive showdown!And this straight ball is extraordinarily pure and clean, reaching the best! ! ! 】

On the press seat, Owada Akiko also stood up in shock:
"How about a showdown with your opponent at this time? Although this straight ball looks very good, it's a hit!"

After speaking, she looked at her boss Mine Fujio with puzzled eyes.

"Of course no problem! It's impossible for a pitcher who seems very cowardly at this time to be the starting pitcher in Daocheng! If this first-year man has no courage and strength, he will not be in Cheng Gongming. This ace is still a second-year man. With a third-year substitute and a second-year substitute, we can still get ahead."

Fujio Mine also answered questions for his assistant.

Owada Akiko nodded after understanding something, then sat down quietly and continued to watch the next game.

Miyuki, who had put on the equipment in the rest area of ​​Qingdao, also had a dignified look on his face. Sure enough, this first-year's strength was still hidden, but he didn't know how much was hidden. I hope the deviation value will not be too high.

At this time, the duel between Eijun and Yuki on the court is also in full swing.

The current number of balls has also come to one good and two bad balls. Yuki's selection of balls is quite accurate, and basically no bad balls are missed.

In such a stalemate,
Owada Akiko also saw a little way, "Based on the current number of pitches, Senior Feng, is this Daocheng pitcher throwing too hard?"

"Yes!"

Fujio Mine looked at Aomichi in the rest area on the first base side of the field and nodded. It was obvious that in the second half of the game the ace would be put on the field, and Aomichi's chance of scoring would be even slimmer.

Qingdao should really want to take advantage of Qingdao's line play to score points and take the lead at this time when the freshman is playing.

On the Daocheng side discussed by Akiko Owada,
Harada Masamori has nothing to stop his junior from pitching the ball so hard. After all, there is no problem in possession of the ball. In addition, as Mine Fujio guessed, Narimiya Ming will indeed appear in the finale in the second half of the game.

It just depends on what step Rongchun can make first.

Anyway, the meaning of supervision is similar. At the beginning, I really thought that I would change Ah Ming if I couldn't hold on anymore. I didn't expect Rongchun to perform exceptionally well.

This made Guoyou Supervisor not want to replace him too early.

After all, the current situation is completely within the controllable range for them, and there is no need to worry about not being able to score at all.

"Chong!"

Facing Eijun's fourth pitch, Yuuki's swing can be said to have completely caught up with his pitching speed. He didn't hit the baseball flying from the mound very cleanly like before. .

It's just that the ball was not hit well, the baseball flew straight backwards, and then hit the fence behind the home plate.

"The outside world!"

Looking at Yuuki who hit the ball, Harada Masamori's expression was shocked: This time he was able to keep up completely, and it really won't let us kill it easily... It seems that we must not be negligent.

Thinking of this, Masakone Harada made a secret signal.

Come on, show everyone the tip of the iceberg of your strength, but you must control the change and angle of the ball.

Eijun on the mound smiled slightly after seeing the signal.

Yuuki on the strike zone also sensed it, as if the next shot would be very difficult, so he couldn't help but hold the bat in his hand tightly, watching every move of Eijun on the mound.

"call out!"

coming!A changeup—? ! ! !

"Shh!"

Yuuki Tetsu also watched the baseball belatedly enter the catcher's mitt. He really didn't expect that this freshman could actually change up the ball.

And it was slightly different from the changeup that Cheng Gongming had mastered.

"strike out!"

The Qingdao players all opened their eyes wide at this moment, showing a look of surprise, shocked by this ball.

"Three people out, switch offense and defense!"

How. How? It's not just disrupting the timing of hitting the ball. Unlike Cheng Gongming's changeup with a spiral downward trend, this changeup moves slowly with irregular changes, making it difficult to grasp the changing trajectory.

This is Eijun Sawamura's unique changeup.

Miyuki took a deep look at Eijun on the pitcher's mound, and couldn't help but smiled wryly. It really wasn't that simple, and his strength was hidden deep enough.

The first half of the first game came to an end.

At this time, the commentary in the broadcasting room of the stadium is still explaining the game on the stadium to the audience present with respect and responsibility:

[Although it was the first time to pitch in this competition, Sawamura Eijun scored three outs perfectly and ended without losing a point——! 】

　Because I went back to my hometown and did a nucleic acid test, I was on the way and didn't have time to update, sorry!
　　PS: The update is a bit busy in my hometown for Chinese New Year, the update is uncertain, and it will return to normal at least until February 2th. I try to take the time to write Braille
