Chapter 159 The Last Summer

After the practice match with Sakura Girl,

"What a pity!" Fumino said on the way back!

"Where? It's not a pity at all! Total defeat! Only three points!" Xiandao spread his hands.

"I'm not talking about a competition!"

"what?"

"You have no chance to show off!"

"What a pity? This has nothing to do with pity, right?"

"But, I always feel like you want to hit me!"

"Maybe!"

"However, it's really unbelievable! There is no guarantee of victory even with absolute poor personal strength! I'm afraid this is only possible in baseball!"

"what does it mean?"

“Although I don’t know much about various sports, I usually hear that even in team sports, if the individual strength gap is too big, one person may lead a group of beginners to win against a strong team!

Can baseball actually limit personal abilities to this extent? "

"Ah!" It was impossible not to feel aggrieved in this practice match, so Xiandao admitted it generously!

"Is it really okay? Are you still living in Nagano today? You have classes tomorrow!" Sendao confirmed again that this girl will not go back on the last day of Golden Week.

"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! I can get up early tomorrow and take the Shinkansen back! I can reach Tokyo in less than two hours!"

……

Xiandao really wanted to say, what time should I get up at this time! Can we go back today?

But seeing Fumino's triumphant and happy smiling face, he held it back!

Sendao swore that he didn't say that just because he looked cute now.

This woman is terrible when she gets angry!

No one else would interrupt the conversation between the two, not even Sawamura, who could interrupt when Fumino-san, whom he respected, was chatting.

This game actually subverted Xiandao's understanding. Although he knew that individual strength was strong, it would be difficult to play a decisive role in determining the outcome when the overall strength gap between the two teams was huge.

But with Sendao, a monster who is so unsolvable in both running and fighting, in the line, he only scored three points.

It’s impossible to say that I’m not feeling aggrieved!

There are a lot of runners in front of the strong stick, which provides stable scoring opportunities. This strong stick also has super-fast feet.

Such a monster is actually restrained!

The reason for being restricted was actually the pile of batters in front of him.

Regardless of the gain or loss of one or two points, and focus on the victory of the entire game, this is the tactic that a true professional coach in college baseball can think of.

This tactic made Sendao know how insignificant individual strength is in baseball.

The principle behind the restriction of immortality is also very simple.

It is indeed difficult for Sendō to fight him one-on-one, and he can steal bases quickly even if he is given a walk. It can be said that apart from going directly to home plate when he steals bases, there is nothing the Sakura Girls can do against him.

But when runners are piled up and you walk him, there will be a runner in front of him. This means that he cannot use his speed at all and steal bases as he pleases.

He can steal bases, but the runner in front of him can't. If he wants to run, the runner in front of him has to run with him, so just kill the runner in front of you. After two outs, even if Sendō is at third base, he can't steal it. to the score.

In order to achieve this goal, they even frantically walked Kondo in front of him with the bases empty, leaving Sendō with a runner in front.

In this way, even if Sendō wants to steal bases, he can only follow Kondo's pace, and his base running threat will still not be used.

Apart from the bases-loaded walk and a free run, Chicheng's three-pointers were all scored by others. After all, walking Xiandao is a natural accumulation of one more runner.

In contrast, it was difficult for Sawamura, who was in the middle to decide the winner, to suppress the opponent's luxurious line for an entire game.

How luxurious is the Sakura Girls' batting line? During Japan's representative selection, several Sakura Girls were selected to become regular members of the representative team. They are softball players, and the World Series is hardball.

In other words, several of them have suppressed the top players in the country in the field of hard ball.

Sawamura, who had lost no points in the first few rounds, was beaten in the last few rounds. Although he didn't play well and didn't fly far, he still lost points wildly after consecutive rounds.

……

In the evening, Fumino unexpectedly did not let Sendao give her tutoring, but the two of them chatted while looking at the stars.

They all fell asleep before they knew it. When Fumino woke up the next day, he found that he had slept all night holding Sendao's hand.

"Maybe it's a nightmare!" Fumino thought!

Looking at Sendao who was still sleeping soundly, and recalling the scene where Sendao put his left hand on his head and caressed her while chatting, Fumino couldn't help but kiss his forehead.

Then Fumino left quickly. In order to stay in Nagano for one more day, she had to catch the Shinkansen before dawn today!

……

A week later,

"The battle groups are out!" Teacher Sano announced in the club room with the battle list!

"We treat everyone the same, right? Our goal is to fight until all teams enter the country!!!

Ha ha ha ha! ! ! "Sawamura Chuuji shouted!

Even if Chicheng wins the championship in the fall, the autumn games are just training games, which means Chicheng is not a seeded team...

Chicheng himself didn't feel anything about this result, he was already used to it.

But when the lots were drawn in the summer, the powerful people in Nagano remembered this, and suddenly they all felt bad.

After all, this shit stirrer is no ordinary shit stirrer!

The winner of the autumn competition is actually not a seed, that is, those strong teams are likely to run into them in the first game!

Sure enough, there is an unlucky guy, and he is an old acquaintance!

"The second battle is at Demei Academy!"

"They are really unlucky!"

"Tokugawa advances from eight to four! Then it's against Oio in the semi-finals! The grouping is not very good, but Oo is still a little bit worse. If we win Tokugawa, we will basically be sure to enter the country!"

After starting to look at the battle table, Sawamura stopped talking, while others were commenting.

However, Xiandao's eyes suddenly became dull!

"What's wrong? Immortal Dao?" Sawamura saw something was wrong with Immortal Dao, so he asked.

Sawamura spoke and others stopped talking and looked over.

"Unfortunately! We are so unlucky!" Xiandao shook his head and said!

"It is true that our grouping is not very good, but we are already very strong, so we still have great hope of winning, right?" Aoki said seriously.

"What a pity! Why did we meet again?" Xiandao did not answer Aoki's words!

"Huh?" Now everyone looked curiously at Xiandao's gaze.

"What a powerful enemy!" When everyone turned their heads following the immortal gaze, they were all turned to stone!

Sendao was looking at his opponent in the first round, which was Kirisi Middle School.

The reason why everyone is petrified is...

"Why did we meet this enviable and powerful team again, and it was the first round again!" Sure enough, Xiandao started to complain. Come to think of it, last year's Xiandao had a similar tone.

Are you afraid that the cheerleaders are all girls and fill the entire support bench?

Everyone was shocked by their cheerleading team last year, which caused the performance in the first few games to go a little wrong!

They ignored the unscrupulous immortality and continued to talk about their sincere opponents!

In my true heart, I don’t want to recall the cruel and tortured game against Wuxi last year!

At the same time, Tokugawa and Deming were secretly crying out for misfortune. It should be said that they felt like they were going crazy! Especially Deming, who should he talk to to reason with Chicheng in the second round?

After all, Deming Academy, which is considered a prestigious school, is going to have to go out for a second round this year because of Chicheng, a king-level super troublemaker!

With such a weird battle list, what did Chicheng do this year?

Why are all the wealthy families I met along the way familiar?

But whether it’s crying or funny, the lottery is over, so it can’t be changed and time will slowly pass by!

A week later, Chicheng finally faced the most threatening team in Xiandao's eyes for the second consecutive year.

(By the way, wipe your saliva first!)

"hurray! hurray! hurray! hurray! hurray! hurray! hurray! hurray! hurray! hurray! hurray! hurray! hurray! hurray!

come on! come on! Wuxi! Wuxi!

come on! come on! Wuxi! Wuxi! "

The cheers were exactly the same as last year, the cheerleaders wore familiar short skirts and didn't mind the faintly exposed panties.

"They must be mentally attacking!" Xiandao said seriously while staring at the cheerleaders with an envious look on his face!

"Yeah!" The difference from last year is that several of Chicheng's children were led astray by immortality and lost their innocence, so he nodded from behind!

Wakana helps the forehead!

"Turn this anger into strength and fight!" Ohno said!

"Oh!!!" The person who responded to him was actually Takada, a fool!

"Akio, a simple and honest person who is only interested in eating all day, actually...!" Xiandao is a bit incredible!

(Who does this depend on? Those who are close to the ink are in trouble!)

In this weird atmosphere, the game begins!

And Tokugawa, the seeded team, is still a major team, and they have a detective team to investigate and videotape!

What Xiandao didn't know was that his arrival still had some weak butterfly effects.

Rei Takashima, who was supposed to be in Nagano, did not come to watch this game!

After the game started, the people who were squatting like huskies under the cheerleaders, drummers, and girls from the support group seemed to have changed their faces.

One hit by Ohno, two hits by Aoki, and three hits by Kondo...,

The ball hit by this unlucky boy happened to fly into the third base glove!

The biggest contrast is the immortal way!

It’s like a husky turned into a tiger!

The moment he came on stage, the cheering cheers from the audience completely overwhelmed the opponent's support team composed of thousands of young ladies.

Then a home run cleared the bases!

But then Sawamura performed a fancy strikeout play, and the scene instantly reversed.

Omura, who was following Sawamura, played steadily, and then Oyama started, and they succumbed to the little sister's short skirt!

However, it didn’t matter that these guys who were seduced were unreliable. With their outstanding performance in the upper lane, the 5th game ended early, 11-.

Then, the licking dogs who were acting abnormally were pulled away by Wakana! …

Then the immortals once again enjoyed the scene of countless girls being sad together.

That heart-wrenching feeling, as if I had done something unforgivable.

"Sure enough! Let me just say, our luck is really bad! A team like Wuxi is too scary!" Xiandao said helplessly at the end of the game.

"Yeah!" At this time, Chicheng was of one mind!

Even Wakana couldn't bear this last scene!

"However, it is so enviable! Their players! They are so good!"

"Yeah!" Only the licking dogs nodded at this time.

If someone could give Wakana a paper fan in this scene, she could teach these licking dogs how to be human instead of being huskies!

Although the game ended in such a dramatic way, the scout teams of each team still found the key, and Chicheng's line became stronger again.

However, they didn't see why they had become so much stronger all of a sudden, and they always felt a little inconsistent! (The sense of dissonance is of course the direction to aim at.)

The people from Deming are the ones who are crying the most, because the second round starts tomorrow.

If Xiandao knew what this investigator was thinking, he would definitely say something like Three Kingdoms!

"Haha! I didn't expect that!"

If the other party knew about Three Kingdoms, they would probably reply with a line about the same character.

"I really didn't expect that!"

The first battle is very important for a competition. The state and process of the first battle will sometimes affect the end of the competition.

Chicheng, who won the first battle, bought fireworks to celebrate, but those who performed abnormally were lectured by Mr. Sano himself!

For their next opponent, Deming Academy, this day has been extremely difficult!

In the end, they accepted the reality and showed their full strength.

The second round of battle came quietly the next day!

With Sendō's batting average of 100% since his first appearance in the fall, the audience for the Nagano junior high school summer tournament was comparable to the high school regional qualifiers.

And what's even more frightening is that except for the people from the opponent's own school who come to cheer, everyone comes to see Xiandao.

After all, Xiandao has always lived up to everyone's expectations.

This is how the second round begins,

Deming Academy attacks first!

Even though I had learned about Sawamura's full pitch yesterday, there was nothing I could do except being shocked.

The batters are getting out one after another!

Although Deming's defense held on tenaciously in the first game.

In the second game, the opening hitter was the four-bat Sendo. When he came on the stage, the support was like a superstar coming to the home court, which already greatly damaged the morale of Deming Academy!

This is the first time in my three years of junior high school that I have seen such a terrifying competition environment, and the audience can be so scary.

Xiandao, which is equivalent to playing at home, makes Deming have no idea of ​​resistance!

Convey!

The catcher stood up and walked without hesitation!

The results are obvious!

First pitch, stolen base!

Second pitch, stolen base!

Two straight strikes and a runner on third base!

For Sawamura, is there any difference between two good balls and zero good and zero bad balls?

It has become a regular tactic, bunt to send the fairy back to the base!

Even if the other party knows, they can't stop it!

Sendō left the base significantly, and the ball was almost hit by the bunt bat. The moment it hit the ground, Sendō had already returned the base!

What is electric light and flint? This is called electric light and flint!

If anyone had a stopwatch, they would find out.

Sendō, who was more than 5 meters away from the base, only took 2.5 to 2.8 seconds to cover the remaining 20 meters.

To use a saying that immortals often say!

"Are you flying there?"

Isn't this instant burst of start-up speed and instant acceleration ability just like flying by?

　As I progress through the chapters of the plot, I let myself go, hoping to make the boring running plot a little more lively.

　　I should have said that! The plot of the fall of the second grade and the summer of the third grade is shorter than everyone thinks.

　　It would be a spoiler to say anything more up to this point.

　　Please vote for me at the end! It’s down to single digits again, folks.
