Chapter 121 Beating Meng Chuan

Chapter 121 Beating Meng Chuan

The state of luck and momentum also resulted in the originally weak team having the capital to compete with the strong team.

A desperate nine-man infield, a bases-loaded tactic that made people's hearts pick up in their throats, an exciting double play, then an inconspicuous low-down line, a well-timed hit like a basin of cold water, and finally another hot-blooded invincible. Forced to cheer up.

Don't underestimate the role of this timely hit. This one point can be said to have changed the direction of the game. Fortunately, Chicheng adjusted well, otherwise it is very likely that consecutive hits will open up a huge score.

Baseball is such a terrible sport. Once the momentum is gained, it can take away the game and make the game lose suspense in an instant. Apart from the pitcher breaking out in this situation, there is no way to interrupt the batter's momentum. After all, the batter will still stay at home plate during the fielding timeout. state.

In just half a game, people saw so many ups and downs, making this game extremely exciting, no less than the battle in Koshien.

……

"The pitcher started swinging! It's a throw!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"Straight ball inside corner! Bad ball!"

"Second ball!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"This shot is a good shot from the outside corner! But Ohno-kun hardly makes any moves!" The commentator finally expressed his doubts!

"Let's try this ball again! Use the same ball path to trick him into swinging!" Takase gave the secret signal!

"Do you want to hit the next ball? Sen-chan!"

What the commentator doesn't know is that Ohno has been looking at the bench every time the opponent confirms the secret code. When the secret code is confirmed, Xiandao will also give Ohno a very concealed secret code!

"Pretend to swing the bat and hit the outside corner, then pull it back in the middle? Yosi!"

"The catch signal has been determined! The third ball!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"It was a bad ball on the outside corner, and it was a slider, but the batter saw through it and took the bat back in time! I didn't expect to be able to maintain such composure in the final inning!"

"Damn it! Keeping this up will only be detrimental to us! Get a good number first and then kill them with the slider!"

"Sen-chan!!!" At the same time, Ohno looked at the bench again!

After reading the code from the bench, Ohno nodded slowly.

"The pitcher's got his arm up! Ball four!"

"Is it coming? Straight ball from inside corner!"

"Ping!"

"Hit!!!

The straight ball from the inside corner was hit! The runner got off to a fast start and the ball was already traveling through the infield! The backbone has stepped forward!

The batter has passed first base! Can you make it? ...safe! ! !

In the first half of the seventh inning of the final game, Chicheng Middle School finally got its first hit! ! ! "

"Yo Xi!!!" Ohno, who ran to second base, waved his fist and shouted loudly!

No matter what his personality is, it’s hard to hold back after being suppressed for so long and he finally breathes a sigh of relief, and Ohno himself has a cheerful personality!

"Ouch!!!" the bench responded.

"Are you stupid? Are you suffering from chuunibyou? I have goosebumps all over my body!" Xiandao mentally complained.

But the clenched fist in his left hand also proved that he was happy for his partner again!

"In the final inning, Chicheng finally got a hit! It's really not easy! The last inning almost collapsed because of that one run!" The commentator also sighed slightly, but immediately continued to broadcast the situation.

“Now that the runner has appeared, it’s a perfect opportunity to tie the game!

Can Chicheng seize the opportunity? "

"Second bat, right fielder, Aoki-kun!"

Baseball is so wonderful. You don’t know when and what kind of opportunities will appear. Even small people must be ready to bear the burden of winning or losing the game at any time, and one hit can determine life or death. This is the scary and interesting part of baseball!

"This second-stringer is a skill hitter and doesn't have strong hitting ability, but he does the basic bunt and fly ball very well. Be careful about his hits and kill their runner if there is a chance!" The catcher gave instructions with a coded signal.

Very correct command, but based on normal conditions!

"Are you free to express yourself before the command?" Aoki saw Xiandao's code and smiled slightly.

Different hitters have different requirements. Aoki is the kind of player who uses his brain, so he doesn't need to ask too much. As long as he is reminded of the key balls in advance, the rest can be left to his own judgment.

So Aoki made a bunt gesture!

“If you want to bunt, come on!”

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!" Aoki deliberately missed the ball and was completely fooled by Aoki who took back the bat!

"Damn it! Are you interfering with us? What should we do? Continue to miss? No, then the only thing we can do is suppress them with strength. If you want to short-score them, just hit them. Come on!"

When he confirmed the code, Xiandao sent a code to Aoki!

then,

"Steal a base!"

"Here it comes! Inside corner kick!" Aoki took back the bat again! This time he swung it out directly.

"Ping!"

"Nani? Another inside corner kick! And it's a hit and run!"

“Hit and run, Chicheng Middle School and the school cooperate tacitly, the runner steals the base, and the batter swings the bat!

This ball was just a single to the inside corner, and now it's zero out, one or three!

Can junior high school students play such a tacit hit-and-run tactic? ! ! !

Moreover, the runners' baserunning is obviously well-trained and not a temporary tactic, which shows that they are proficient in baserunning!

And next is the center line of Chicheng Middle School! "

Although he couldn't see how this center line was better than other high-position lines. Even Kondo, who has four bats, did not perform well today. This explanation is in line with outsiders’ opinions. Except for Sawamura, all the players from one to seven are pretty much the same. And Sawamura, plus Takeda, who has eight bats, and Wakana, who has nine bats, are all just making up the numbers. The hitters, although Sawamura's bunt is pretty good, they don't know.

This summer, Chisei has almost never used tactics such as solo stolen bases in important games. It should be said that there is no chance. And last fall, no one paid attention to them, which led to the fact that Chisei is good at small ball tactics. In the Nagano area, only Deming People in the small area of the academy know it.

The tactics that have been trained hard for a year appear in front of the public for the first time, and it is such a mature tactical coordination, which is of course surprising.

"Three sticks, the backbone, Omura-kun!"

Tokugawa was stunned by the continuous hits, but the broadcast told them that they must face the next batter immediately.

"Do you want to call a timeout? But I don't have any idea what the opponent will do, and I didn't expect them to hide it so deeply. The running, hitting and running can't be practiced in a day or two! Damn it!" Takahashi said hesitate!

But the next second, after seeing Kanda's firm eyes, he gave up the idea of calling a timeout.

“That’s right, just hold the hitter down.

Can he still steal home base when the runner reaches third base? "The catcher calmed down a bit!

"Infield warning is mandatory to score points. As a weak player, you can use any tactics!" At this time, coach Kunimi also gave his instructions.

"The devil is going to hit and run! We can do it though.

But this time, it was just a simple runner stealing a base and the batter confusing the batter with a bunt. "Xian Dao explained in his mind, but if he didn't explain, no one would be able to tell.

At this time, Omura's eyes widened instantly when he saw Sendao!

"Is the first goal coming?"

"Inside corner kick!!!"

"Ping!"

"Another inside corner kick?" Takahashi also looked shocked!

"That's the first pitch!!! It's the inside corner again! This one goes through the infield again, and the runner on third base returns the score!!!

The runner on first base went to third base! The batter also ran to second base as a matter of course!

One point of the wonderful offensive and defensive game in the previous game was overtaken in an instant, and it was a crisis for Tokugawa Junior High School! ! ! "

"Yo Xi!!!" The situation really turned around. The team that had almost collapsed before instantly recovered and scored again, and its morale soared again!

"Timeout! Please!" Takahashi immediately called timeout!

"pause!"

……

"What happened? Suddenly?" Takahashi heard Kanda whisper as he ran to the pitcher's mound.

"Probably, it was targeted, right? The inside corner! And the bat basically doesn't swing at the outside corner!" Takahashi recalled that Ohno completely ignored the bad ball in the outside corner, and didn't even observe the path of the ball. He thought it was very likely that he would let it go when he saw it was the outside corner. Lost!

But they couldn't possibly know that it was a problem with the code, because this series of psychological guidance made them think they were only targeting the inner corner.

"Is that so?" Kanda's eyes were even pleading. Before, Chicheng's scores were not as strong as they are now.

This shows how big of a blow it was to him!

"It should be like this, but it is definitely impossible to hit it in a normal duel. But they are in really good condition today! According to their swing, they shouldn't hit it so far, two doubles!" With the intelligence and the special guidance of Immortal Dao, this possibility is the highest possibility they think, and aiming so well can only be attributed to the state.

This is indeed the case. Even if they deliberately aim and know the path of the ball, hitting it that far is very difficult for the strength of Chicheng Middle School. But what they don't know is that even if they are in great shape, it is difficult to hit so well. The biggest reason is that they know it in advance. But it's impossible for them to think of it.

"Anyway, I won't let the inside corner ball enter the strike zone. Focus on the outside corner and try to keep the ball as low as possible! This is the only way now!" The catcher said this. It can be seen that if their ace outside corner ball is thrown, If the strike zone is high, the ball path will be unreliable and high. If the strike zone is higher, it means it is easier to hit!

"Ok!"

"No one is out now! The infield should be careful! Give this guy your full support!" Takase said and began to walk back.

"Sorry!" He apologized to the referee and squatted down.

"play!"

"Four bats! Second baseman, Kondo-kun!"

"Come on! It's time for Kondo to show his fighting spirit as a man!" Sawamura shouted at the right time.

"Although we have to focus on the outside corner, we must make other pitches to distract the opponent!" As a qualified catcher for a strong team, he still understands these basics.

"Bad ball!" The first goal was a bad ball from the inside corner.

"Bad ball!" Bad ball from the outside corner of the second ball!

"Good shot!" The third ball was a sliding ball that slipped from the inside corner to the middle!

"The fourth ball! Just use the ball in the outside corner to grab a good ball! Then use the slider to finish him off!"

"Stealing bases! ×2" Double stolen bases on second and third base!

"Ping!" The response was Kondo's decisive strike!

"Hey! Wait a minute! The winning goal is on the next goal!" Takahashi doubted his life.

"Right field!!!" But there was no delay in reminding him!

“Long line hit to right field, the furthest hit of the day!!!

But the right fielder makes the save! ! !

Take the kill! ! !

Such sincere double stolen bases were returned. One out, second and third base! ! !

This ball is a fine play in right field! The savior rides alone! The arc of this ball is very low. If it hits the ground, there is no doubt that it will lose two points in a row!

At that point, we were instantly two points behind!

Sure enough, baseball is terrible! "

"What a risk! It was almost over! If we lose two points at this time, our morale will be..." The consequences of the ball landing are really unimaginable.

After all, they just lost to the opponent a month ago. Although there were various reasons such as consecutive battles and observation of the ball, the defeat still had some psychological impact, especially for a group of junior high school students.

"And that idiot is next! That's two out!" Takahashi thought to himself.

It's no wonder that he wanted to play blindly for two consecutive games, and Sawamura didn't use bunts in the last game. He just thought that five bats were to comfort his flamboyant character.

"Five bats! Pitcher, Sawamura-kun!"

"Just throw it with all your strength! This guy can't hit it, so you can save some energy. Our infield defense will help you defend it." So, this tactic that didn't even warn them about bunts harmed them.

Although, he knew in advance that he would not be able to defend against Sawamura's forced scoring.

"Stealing bases! ×2" double stolen bases again.

"call out!"

"Forced points?! This guy can bunt?"

"Ding!"

"And it's brilliant?!" Seeing the ball rolling along the first base line, Takahashi was caught off guard again.

“Forcing points taken successfully!!!

The runner on third base returns! reverse! ! !

In the first half of the seventh inning, Chicheng Middle School scored two points in a row to reverse the situation! ! !

The second base runner also ran to third base. Although five outs were out, it was now two outs and three bases. The key leader was Chicheng Middle School! ! ! "

"How on earth are we going to suppress them? These continuous attacks!" Takahashi had completely lost his cool. He was even more shaken than Kanda.

If you let your mentality sink like this, it will end immediately! This has nothing to do with strength! Even when he asked the infield to pass the ball to first base, he forgot that the infield made his own judgment, which shows his wavering!

"What should I do?" Takahashi.

"What on earth is going on? I didn't expect Chicheng Middle School to hide so deeply, a combination attack of small ball tactics? And it's such a tacit and mature attack coordination!

Running the bases, bunting, hitting and running, and putting pressure on the opponent with the runner on the base are not something that can be learned overnight! In other words, have they prepared a feast for us long ago?

Are these people really junior high school students? "Catcher Takahashi is not the only one who is shaken, but their coach Kunimi is also the same.

　Sorry, Tokugawa's catcher changed his surname to Takahashi, and Takase and Oo's catchers had the same surname.
