Chapter 149 Competition Anxiety

Just when Horii had just rejected all his previous ideas and understood what the other party wanted to do!

"Ding!"

"No, this is a safe infield hit!" Aoki thought correctingly while running the bases!

The ball pops down the third base line!

It was obvious that he couldn't stop it, so Horii asked for a pass to first base again!

Then an accident happened!

Aoki, who was running, kicked the ball with his left foot toward the court!

In an instant, everyone on and off the court was petrified!

But just like at the beginning, today's Lady Luck is on the side of sincerity. The ball was not kicked out of the field but clearly flashed towards the outfield behind the pitcher's mound!

The pitcher had no time to react, and not only that, but the outfielders were also caught off guard!

So by the time the outfielder completed the catch and pass, Kondo had already jumped to third base!

This accident actually had no impact on Tokugawa, but it frightened Chicheng.

The reason is simple. On the surface, it looks like Chicheng advanced two more bases.

But everyone knows that Tokugawa's pitching was unable to prevent the stolen base. If this accident did not occur, he could have stolen the base to third base.

So there is no difference in the result. If the ball is not out of pure luck and is kicked out as a foul ball, then the runner will have to return to base, and Kondo will have to return to the strike zone and add a strike to be chased.

This accident was a huge gain for Tokugawa, and the current situation was not a loss either.

Baseball is a sport that is prone to various unpredictable accidents because the field is large, the ball is fast, and the field is easily affected.

"I'm scared to death! All kinds of accidents happen in baseball!

I have never heard of this accident before! "

Xiandao was also shocked on the sidelines. Seeing that he was lucky, he sat back on the bench to relieve his heartbeat!

At the same time, I realized again the uncontrollability of baseball, which was really exciting!

Even if a professional player faces a junior high school student, no one can guarantee where the ball he hits will land. No matter how strong the defensive athletic ability is, it is impossible to completely cover the huge court.

When luck comes, the weak team will have magic balls in succession, and even the professional teams will not be able to withstand it!

This situation does not occur in other sports.

This surprise made the atmosphere in the venue a little more relaxed!

"Four bats, pitcher, Sawamura-kun!"

"Four bats, pitcher, Sawamura-kun!"

Seeing Sawamura appear, Horii waved his hand and the infield stepped forward!

Chicheng is no longer the unknown team it was back then.

As the team's ace, Sawamura's main characteristics have already been exposed!

As his team's main opponent in Nagano, Sawamura's "powerful" hitting ability is even more popular among Tokugawa players.

Therefore, it is inevitable for the infield to step forward, but Chisei's strong base-stealing ability and Sawamura's bunt ability still cannot prevent Chisei from scoring!

So Kondo successfully returned to base, and Sawamura was out. Tokugawa Junior High School finally got the precious number of outs.

Losing three runs in a row was the consequence of allowing Chiseong's batter to get on base. For an amateur junior high school level game, Chiseung's tactics were too rogue.

And this is not the time to be happy, the hitter behind Sawamura is also one of Chicheng's representative hitters.

"Five sticks, stalwart, Omura-kun!"

"Five sticks, stalwart, Omura-kun!"

If calculated according to the current Chicheng line, Kondo's hitting power is first, then Omura, who is ranked behind Sawamura in the ranking, is second.

Especially now that we have just one out, if Omura comes in behind...

The Tokugawa players will have to endure torture again!

It was enough to lose three points, and one was already out, so Tokugawa threw three change balls against Omura!

After striking out Omura with four pitches, the six-bat Oyama took advantage of the influence of these three change-up pitches on subsequent batters, and hit a straight ball and hit the infield high.

This game is finally over!

When the court changed, the biggest cheers of the day erupted in the court. Tokugawa, who had lost zero points in the autumn competition, lost three points in the first game against Chisei!

It took nearly 20 balls to lose three points in the first game, and Tokugawa was under great pressure!

"In the first half of the second game, Tokugawa Junior High School's attack!"

"Five bats, second baseman, Egawa-kun!"

"Five bats, second baseman, Egawa-kun!"

Under such pressure, as the pioneer in the second game, Jiangchuan, who has strong fighting spirit and refuses to admit defeat, is the most suitable. This can be regarded as a kind of luck for Tokugawa!

Chicheng's attack is a bit long, so the layout from the previous game is of no use!

Takeda also understood this, so he asked for an inside corner kick for the first ball to deepen the batter's impression!

This ball also successfully got the number of strikes!

Sawamura, who is obviously still in form, is a difficult pitcher to attack!

In addition, the current competition is still on Chicheng's side, and Sawamura's condition is even a little too good!

However, for hitters, they will not be affected by the atmosphere of the game.

After all, in the summer, in such a desperate situation, this guy was the man who used his fighting spirit, fighting spirit and momentum to force his teammates to cheer up and complete the comeback.

Compared with Xia Tian, ​​Tokugawa's biggest improvement was this Jiangchuan. After three balls, he swept the ball out of the infield with one hit!

And he successfully ran to second base!

This suddenly made the previous accumulated depression disappear.

As if to say: "See! We are not suppressed, we are evenly matched!"

After that, even if he was still a little immature, Egawa, like the previous players of Chicheng, left the bases by a large margin and put pressure on Sawamura!

At the same time, it was Fukushima's turn to hit the line, and Xia Tian personally sent Chicheng to the guillotine to behead the man.

Seeing Fukushima come on stage, the eyes of many people in Chicheng began to turn red. Xia Tian's blow was really too painful. Just in time to respond to that sentence, the enemies were extremely jealous when they met.

However, the game did not go as Chiseong expected. First, Jiangchuan stole a base and successfully reached third base.

After that, Fukushima used a bunt to force a distinction and recovered one point for Tokugawa.

The score is three to one, one out!

However, Tokugawa's attack in this round ended here, and the next two batters were also eliminated one after another!

Coincidentally, in the same lower position, Chisei, eight-bat Takeda, and nine-bat Wakana were all struck out in the same lower position in the start. Ohno, who was batting in the second round, also struck out after struggling with 6 balls!

The second game has also come to an end!

But Kanda’s pitch count has exceeded 30!

This game will most likely go over 100 goals!

Moreover, the confrontation between two evenly matched teams becomes more and more difficult to resolve as they fight.

"First half of the third round! Tokugawa Junior High School's attack!"

"Nine bats, pitcher, Kanda-kun!"

"Nine bats, pitcher, Kanda-kun!"

Does a baseball game have to be weak if it has nine bats?

The answer is no. On the contrary, the more famous the family is that has no shortage of players, the nine sticks' striking strength is the strongest in the lower line.

This is the case with Tokugawa. Kanda's shoulders are very strong and he has great feel for the ball, so if he was not a pitcher, his batting average would not be nine!

At least it's on the same level as your team's center hitter pool and others!

So in Nagano, no one will underestimate this guy's striking power!

This round is a smooth start for both sides!

"play!"

"Be careful! Ei-chan!"

"An eye-catching first goal!"

"Ping!"

“A straight ball from an inside corner, this ball was completely missed!

The outside world! "

"And then, the second ball!"

"Bad ball!"

"Third goal!"

"Good ball!"    "The batter has been chased, fourth ball!"

"Snapped!"

……

"nice shot!"

"Hitter! Out!!!"

"Watching a strikeout! The sincere pitching made full use of the inside and outside corners, and finally it was a straight ball from the inside corner!

Now one is out! "After a short silence, the commentator loudly told the audience the ending!

"One bat, shortstop, Mito-kun!"

"One bat, shortstop, Mito-kun!"

Tokugawa's strong hitters also continue to appear. As the top hitter in the second round, it is obvious that he will not give up his attack easily!

“Fortunately, in the last round of batting, these top hitters didn’t see a few of Ei-chan’s balls!

Otherwise it will be hard work! " Zhutian said happily in his heart.

"Here! Since Sen-chan told us to be stronger, we don't have to be polite!"

"The center again?"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Sure enough, the ball moved!" Mito chose to watch it this time, and at the same time he also felt with his own eyes the reason why the previous baton was wiped out by one ball!

"But, this guy's ball control in the outside corner is not very good!" Mito thought when the second ball from the outside corner came.

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"It still doesn't work!"

Mito was a little helpless. He only saw Sawamura's three goals in this game. It was still very difficult to play well!

However, he is not worried about this. It is not difficult for Sawamura to hit the ball. Although it is very fast, it lacks power. The real problem is the evolved defense.

The game is only in the third round, and there may be a fourth round in this game!

The longer the game drags on, the worse it will be for Chicheng!

But this is the end of the dozen seats in Kobe!

Even though he held the bat short, the third pitch was a clean infield ball that flew high into the infield.

Behind him, Nakajima and Sawamura spent 7 goals before being solved!

Chisei is also easy to hit at first, but Horii adapts to Chisei's hitting on the line. Although there are some rogues on the base, his hitting ability is not completely unstoppable.

In addition, the pitcher also began to know how to incorporate changing balls into the straight ball. Although he used more balls, he still allowed Chicheng to go up and down three times!

After all, in this round, there are not only two people who can beat Aoki Kondo, but also Sawamura, a big loser!

Strictly speaking, Aoki is not a real strong hitter. Although he has improved a lot compared to Xia Tian and his batting average is not low, it depends on who the opponent is.

The third game ended with Sawamura's three-game happy streak!

At the beginning of the fourth game, Chicheng was still having a hard time!

Tokugawa's game started with three strikes!

Moreover, Tokugawa's hitters have also begun to completely pursue batting average, adopting a hitting posture without raising their legs, holding the bat shorter, and moving the hitting point forward like Chisei.

Takeda and Sawamura had a hard time, but in the end Sumiyoshi hit again and reached second base, completing two consecutive hits.

All I can say about this is that Tokugawa is the best at catching people.

"Four bats, center field, Mr. Chi!"

"Four sticks, center field, Mr. Chi"

With no outs and a runner on second base, there are four batters in the batter!

At this moment, Takeda had a flash of inspiration and had a bold idea in his mind.

But the current situation doesn’t require that much risk!

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

Since Takeda followed Sendō and learned a lot of ball-matching thinking, it was difficult for his opponent to guess his ball-matching.

The third ball was once again a straight ball from the center and was hit out of bounds by Chi!

Unexpectedly, Sumiyoshi on second base suddenly stole the base at this time. It turned out that he had observed Sawamura's two pitches and found the opportunity to start.

Even though his baserunning wasn't great, he couldn't handle the suddenness, and Takeda's shoulders were weak!

But Sawamura still followed Takeda's request and threw the fourth inside corner kick!

This is an extremely high-quality pitch. The pool was not played well and resulted in a ground ball out!

It seems that Tokugawa still can't do it in the middle of the game when it comes to forcing four-stick bunts to score points!

As time goes by, even if the inside and outside corners cooperate, under the pressure of Tokugawa center hitters and Sawamura's ball control problems, the suppression ability begins to decline!

What’s interesting is that the four-bat hitter was eliminated in two consecutive batters, while the three-bat and five-bat hitter was hit in two consecutive batters!

Yes, the five-bat Jiangchuan hit again, but this ball was a ground ball, rolling into the no man's land between three games!

Tokugawa pulled the score in again, and the point difference was only one point!

But this time, Jiangchuan didn't dare to steal bases!

Chicheng has enough defenses against stolen bases, and his base-stealing skills are still too immature. A sudden attack is okay, but continuous attacks are not enough. He is not a particularly fast runner.

Six-bat Fukushima wanted to bunt, but Coach Kunimi stopped him!

The hitters behind Fukushima are not as good as him, so we might as well let him try!

It is true that the game starts with two outs. This is based on the situation that the batting line is not weak. Let alone the junior high school team, even the famous high school team cannot guarantee the strength of all the hitters on the entire batting line.

The result was that six and seven sticks were solved in succession!

After that, the two sides began to engage in a defensive battle. Tokugawa used pitchers to make up for his defensive tacit understanding, while Chisei used his tacit understanding to make up for his weakness in shooting.

Under the pressure of Tokugawa's top line in the third round, Takeda had no choice but to use what he had thought of before.

He called a timeout and dictated his thoughts. His idea was very simple, which was to let Sawamura add some speed to the ball. If he couldn't catch the ball with his full strength, just a little speed would be fine!

The purpose is to turn the original maximum speed into an average speed after speeding up!

To put it clearly, the speed of Sawamura's ball is between 110 kilometers and 120 kilometers, the maximum speed is less than 120 kilometers, and the average speed is less than 113 kilometers.

After speeding up, basically every ball is about 118 kilometers.

The price is that the ball control is more unstable. After all, Sawamura's throwing posture is very amateur, and he has not specially trained to control the ball!

It just strengthens the stability of the lower body and lays the foundation for future ball control training.

The outside corner could not be shot, and the inside corner had to be in the middle. However, there was a speed difference between the two kinds of balls. Seeing that Tokugawa could not suppress the line, he did not break out, but he lost two points before changing his tactics.

Chicheng also scored an extra point, and the two sides tied the score and entered the final game!
