King's Green Road

Chapter 418 20. Fanwai Rongchun is in Daocheng

The first half of the three innings started,
Eijun cooperated tacitly with Harada Masamori, and quite neatly solved the eighth-ranked Kadada and the ninth-ranked Hakushu.

Then, with two outs and no one on base, he paired up with Hiroshi Kuramochi again.

"Hi--!"

"How's the game going? I just finished my studies and wanted to use my phone to watch the game to pass the time, but found that my phone was out of battery!"

At the same moment, in a store in Tokyo, Hirakawa, a third-year high school student in the city, pushed the door in at this time, 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 sternly rejected him just now, but now he came here looking for an excuse, 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 isn't Cheng Gong pitching?!"

At this time, the duel between Yoichi Kuramochi and Eijun was being broadcast live on TV.

Kuramochi saw the ball and then swung the bat, hitting the ball cleanly to the right of the mound. Eijun quickly stepped aside, but a figure flashed behind him, it was Daocheng's shortstop ——Baihe.

"Snapped!"

After Baihe caught the ball, he made a neat turn and passed the ball to Shan Gang who was waiting at first base.

"Out!"

"Three people out, switch offense and defense!"

In the first half of the third inning, Seidou was once again beaten by Eijun, a first-year pitcher.

"cut--"

Cang Mo glanced resentfully at the pitcher on the mound who smiled brightly at him. He used to be his junior. If he was his junior, he wouldn't think anything of it, but the point is not that this is his opponent. Feeling very uncomfortable.

Eijun: "..."

He just smiled politely, completely unaware that his performance was completely misinterpreted, or that he was no longer a junior at his school after all, so Kuramochi naturally didn't have much intimacy.

"No way, that ball didn't pass through! Daocheng seems really difficult to deal with! What a pity!"

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

"Are you cheering for Qingdao?"

A fat third-year player from the city sat at a table beside him, looked at his teammate with a regretful face very strangely, and asked Hirakawa in an incredible way.

"I'm not cheering for either party!"

It's just that anyone who is an individual can see that Hirakawa's words are absolutely wrong, and he is obviously very worried for Qing Dao.

On the side, the former captain of the third year in Daocheng, Daqian, saw the true state of the freshman in Daocheng, and his expression was very serious: "His ball looks very stable, and there are no mistakes, especially compared with the freshman in Qingdao. It's terrifying to be calm, and Qing Dao seems to be difficult."

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

His heart is naturally biased toward his own friends.

But according to the current game format, the situation is really not very optimistic, come on Koichiro!

In the second half of the third round, it was Daocheng Industrial's turn to attack again.
The starting players of Qingdao also returned to the field defense again, and their expressions did not relax at all. They really had no advantage at all compared to now, and according to the state of Daocheng, Daocheng was waiting for work.

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

"It's so fast, even watching TV, I can feel the power. The pitching speed of this first-year Seido pitcher is really ridiculous." Takeda, a third-year player from the city's third-year high school watching the game in the store, saw the pitch. Jiang Gu, who made the shot, couldn't help but exclaim.

"However, from a clear perspective, the dominance of the competition so far is very stable on Daocheng's side...Although this first-year performance is very brave, and the speed is very bright..."

Kamijou, who was beside Takeda, also stuck his chin, echoing some of his own opinions.

"Although it looks very gorgeous, the players in Daocheng are not just for display. They are also constantly throwing foul balls in every bench. He will not let him easily strike out them..."

Zhutian's next words also stunned the city university players present: This is really the case, and it really is not easy to solve.

"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 spoke this time and answered Hirakawa's question.

"They probably want Jiangu to last until he can't do it in his current state, so they don't plan to finish the pitch if they go all out. In addition, 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, Pingchuan also suddenly realized, and responded with a sentence, but the next sentence made everyone silent.

"But...isn't there Cheng Gongming behind Daocheng? And although the speed of this first-year Daocheng is not amazing, everyone knows that he is actually more stable than Jianggu!"

It's really dangerous!They actually forgot this point just now. Nariya Ming and Tanba Koichiro are completely different pitchers. Replacing the first-year starter together and letting Ace play will only be more stable for Daocheng, while Qingdao will be more stable. It is at stake.

Hearing that the city's junior high school students who were present at the scene were also inclined towards the more friendly Qing Dao, their hearts suddenly turned cold.

"Whoa, No. 6 batter in strikeouts!"

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

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?"

Immediately, Chris began to look through the information he had recorded, "56 balls... Daocheng has always hit foul balls often, so the number of balls is much more than I originally expected..."

Speaking of which, Chris was also surprised by this discovery.

At this moment, Jiang Gu returned to the rest area with everyone sweating profusely, not looking very good.

"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 turned slightly pale and kept panting.

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 round.

After all, it has been a few months since I came here from Hokkaido, but this is the first time I have experienced such a hot climate in Tokyo, and I can't fully adapt to it. It's really bad.

He had to prepare for the worst.

Eijun is also ready to play again, and the fourth game is about to start. So far, neither of them has scored. No matter what, he will not let Senior Yuki and the others succeed.

"Are you nervous?!"

Cheng Gongming flashed in front of the resolute Rongchun at this moment, and asked curiously.

"No, I always remember Ming-sang behind me."

Eijun looked at Cheng Gongming who appeared in front of him and shook his head, then smiled slightly. To be honest, he really felt quite at ease.

This feeling that someone can rely on behind, and the feeling that the game will end without worrying about losing points is really good.

Cheng Gongming: Hey, what are you talking about?

"That's right, and you haven't allowed the opponent to score yet. You have to believe that you are very good. The most important thing is that you are Cheng Gongming's promising successor. Be confident."

Cheng Gongming coughed and said solemnly.

The corner of Eijun's mouth twitched, this is really a smooth climb, looking at Narimiya Naruto, who is particularly senior, he feels that as long as he works hard in the next time, Naruto-san will have confidence in him no matter what he does No doubt about this, it feels very close at hand.

Look, how optimistic and confident Ming Sang is towards him now!

"Well, I understand!"

Eijun was crazily surprised and suppressed the urge to laugh, nodded obediently, and then refused to leave.

He couldn't hold it anymore.

Mingsang is really a very simple guy! !

The other Daocheng team members sighed silently, except for Tadano, a little fan of Cheng Gong who was particularly envious of Rong Chun.

This trump card is probably hopeless in front of Rong Chun.

This filter, this gesture of trust.
