Chapter 196 The Second Banquet

"Xian Dao! How about you try switching pitchers? Give me your backbone!" Junsang joked after stroking his beard.

"Absolutely not! I won't do it even to the death!"

"Why do you have such a deep obsession? The same goes for pitchers and catchers." Miyuki also spoke.

“How about you think about getting a hit?

Still no hit today...! "Xian Dao was not so easy to talk to Mi Xing and gave him a sideways look.

"Huh?" Miyuki didn't expect that the immortal way would suddenly touch his heart.

Immediately, Xiandao glanced at him and raised his eyes provocatively.

Miyuki knew that what he said was that it was you who hurt his heart first.

Miyuki had asked this question a long time ago, and Sendao answered patiently, so speaking at this time was obviously looking for trouble.

"Well, forget it! Anyway, you have the power of the ball, but you don't know how to handle the ball, and you also have a change ball." The outfielder's ball eye cannot measure the speed, so although he knows that it is a fast ball and has the power of the ball, the others don't. Really want him to switch positions.

And this thing can't be forced. Although they didn't say it, the seniors also knew that there must be some reason why Xiandao didn't want to take up the two positions of surrender and capture.

Miyuki, who was heartbroken, had already begun to prepare. After all, he was the first hitter, and he would be laughed to death even if he didn't hit for another day.

Coincidentally in this situation, if Qingdao attacks first, both teams will start with six shots.

The last game, that is, the second half of the third game, Qingdao ended with five strikes, and now the fourth game, Hengxue, also ended with five strikes.

"In the second half of the fourth round, Seido High School's attack."

"Six sticks, catcher, Miyuki-kun!"

"Six sticks, catcher, Miyuki-kun!"

"Ping!"

"Snapped!"

"Ah! The pitcher flew the ball!" Miyuki himself couldn't believe it.

This guy lasted one goal...

"Pfft!" Xiandao took a sip of sports drink in the preparation area, and immediately squirted when he saw this scene!

However, only this kid can do things like take drinks to the preparation area.

"Ah haha, how shameless!"

"What exactly do you want to perform? Is it your debut as a regular star?

How about just making a funny collection? "

"You kid!" Although Miyuki knew he would be ridiculed, this was too harsh.

"Hmm... Fumino should have a video!" Xiandao saw that Miyuki still dared to talk back, so he thought about it briefly and retorted.

"...! I was wrong, please forgive me!" Miyuki was frightened...

It’s not unreasonable for Yu Xing to be cowardly. Just look at how much inventory there is in Xiandao’s aibo.

Miyuki often borrows it to watch...

"Seven sticks, strong hand, Immortal Lord!"

"Seven sticks, middle hand, Immortal Lord!"

"Okay, it's your turn, hurry up and get on the stage!" For Miyuki, this announcement is simply a life-saving straw!

Miyuki also somewhat understands the feelings of those who were bullied by him, but he just doesn't change. If he changes, won't there be no fun in life?

"Ha! Okay!" Xiandao came on the stage with satisfaction. (These two sluts!)

"By the way, that guy's ball control is not that good. He will probably decide the outcome with a straight ball!" Miyuki seemed to have thought of something, turned around and put a hand on Sendō's shoulder and said to him.

"Hoo? Then you still took action against that curveball!" Xiandao said heartily without turning around and giving him a sideways look.

"..." Mi Xing didn't expect that the other party would prick her heart when she was serious.

"What a mouthful! (Shut up!) Hurry up and get on the stage! Don't be killed so easily!"

"Well, don't worry! I'll be careful." Xiandao replied seriously.

"Ha! This guy!" Miyuki shook his head slightly.

"Confirmed again, this guy and I are the same kind of people." Miyuki did not look back this time.

They are informal and casual at ordinary times, but reliable at critical moments. This is what the two of them have in common.

However, the difference is that Xiandao can do two things at once, he is extremely serious in his heart, and his appearance can also switch between casualness and seriousness at will.

This is also the reason why Miyuki, who speaks serious words when he is serious, is hurt by the immortal way.

But Miyuki just can't get angry with him. You know he is serious, what else can you say to him?

"Now the one-out batter is the one who performed extremely well on both offense and defense today, the backbone player Sendō-kun!

The last time he hit the mat, Sendō-kun hit a triple!

That pass in the defense that just ended impressed me so much! "After the commentator briefly introduced the situation, he chatted with the guest next to him.

"Yes!"

“This hitter has no information at all. He swung the bat on the first pitch of his last at-bat, and he has no clue about his hitting habits.

The only thing I know is that this guy is very powerful and will fly very far when hit, and you must not let him get on base, so be careful! "Catcher Bai Yu is also very afraid of Xiandao in the strike zone.

"First goal! A slider in the inside corner! Unfortunately, the ball went a little wide!

The batter is completely silent!

Hengxue's throw didn't intend to give the opponent any time to breathe, and he immediately threw the second ball!

Voted! "

"Bad ball!"

"I see! Are the change balls here to disrupt my rhythm?

But it means nothing without getting into the strike zone.

What to do with a good shot? "

After two consecutive changes of balls, the situation became unfavorable for shooting.

“The first ball in the last game was an obviously bad ball and was taken directly, but this time it was not taken.

Sure enough, the ball was guessed on the last pitch?

Next ball, here! "

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Good shot!" Another change from the outside corner.

"This guy just wanted to swing the bat? But why did he stop?" Hengxue's catcher also began to become suspicious.

"Three consecutive changing balls! What a trouble!" Xiandao's mind sank.

"It's not good! That guy Sendao gave up the transformation ball completely. It wouldn't be funny if he was discovered." Minister Ohta said.

Minister Ohta is also very clear about Sendō's principles of ball selection, and this enthusiastic adult likes to take everything at face value.

"This makes me more sure that they will use a straight ball to decide the outcome with that bastard!

perhaps! "Miyuki said.

"Huh?" Minister Ohta played the role of a confused mascot.

In fact, Miyuki is not low-key, but the words have already been spoken, so let’s be tough once.

Even if no breathing time is given, there is actually enough time for Xiandao to think between the two balls.

"The next ball will be a straight ball from an inside angle, right? Probably!" Xiandao murmured in his heart!

The idea of ​​​​Sendō is that there is no harm in taking a gamble.

While Xiandao was muttering, the fourth ball had been thrown.

The immortal way of making up one's mind, retreating,...     "?"

And Xiandao, who was ready to swing the bat, suddenly realized that the ball was coming towards him!

"Ping!" Xiandao, who didn't have much experience in striking, was momentarily panicked, and his body's instinct reacted.

Force the ball out!

"The outside world!"

After being beaten out, Xiandao lost his balance and sat on the ground!

"Hey! Are you okay!" Chunsang was the first to shout, and the others were also startled.

Hengxue's ace Yi Neng took off his hat and apologized. It was obvious that the shot was missed.

But since Sendō doesn't have much experience yet, he can only rely on instinct in this situation. Just like Tanba's curveball, some first-year instincts are to avoid, while Sendō's physical instinct is to take the initiative and attack, nothing more.

There is no way to control this unconscious movement.

This has also led to the fact that a ball that is dodged is a bad ball and if it is not dodged, it is a touching ball. It has become the second lesson of the pursuit of immortality.

"Are you okay? Does your body hurt anywhere?" Senior Baishu, who was next to hit, ran up from the preparation area and asked to confirm the condition of Xiandao to see if it was twisted somewhere.

"It's okay, it didn't hit me, I was shocked!" Xiandao really didn't expect that the ball would miss so much.

You must know that due to his long wingspan, Sendō's position is in the middle of the strike zone to prevent inside corners from becoming a weakness, not close to the forefront of home plate like other hitters.

"Stand up and move around to see if there is any discomfort, such as a twist or something." Senior Baishu still wanted to confirm clearly.

Qingdao still faces a lot of injuries. Seniors Chris and Danba, who are three-year-olds, and Sendao's actions just now looked scary, so everyone is more nervous about this kind of thing.

Many second-year students don't know anything about senior Chris, but Hakushu and the other first troops are different.

After all, the current main force of the first army is a good friend of senior Chris, and he will hear it more or less. However, in the two or three years when the second army or not even the second army, there will be less communication.

After all, even if Qingdao deducts the first-years and makes up three teams, there are still 95 teams including the first-years!

Seeing the persistence of the seniors, and even a group of seniors from the bench came over, Sendao could only stand up and move around.

And Sendao wasn't completely reluctant. He didn't want to get himself injured with sequelae by playing baseball.

“It’s no different than usual, there’s nothing wrong with it, I’m not vulnerable to that level yet.

And it didn’t hit me just now, so don’t worry. "After feeling it carefully, Xiandao spoke to the worried seniors.

"That's it. If you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me, you know! You bastard!" Junsang said after confirming that everything was fine, and then nodded to Coach Kataoka.

Coach Kataoka also nodded and said he understood.

"Don't worry! Junsang! I'm not the kind of person who won't tell you when I'm hurt!"

All I can say is that it was a good idea to say what Immortal Dao said earlier, otherwise it would definitely break the hearts of a group of people.

So the game starts again...

This unexpected situation disrupted all the previous arrangements, whether it was the catcher's matchmaking or Sendao's guessing.

Xiandao didn't know if the catcher would change the distribution of the ball, and Hengxue didn't know how much impression Xiandao had on those few balls just now. (To put it bluntly, it means guessing each other’s thoughts and the impact of the ball path.)

At this time, Xiandao had given up guessing and didn't think about anything. He relied on his own body to judge. In other words, he changed from the guessing school of Miyuki to the beast of Thunder City.

The catcher decided to continue with the previous distribution of the ball.

Although the pitcher made a explosive throw, the ball he originally intended for a strike ended up being a foul ball, which was an unexpected surprise. Moreover, this bad ball gave the batter the illusion that the space for the strike was very large. . (Typical king predicts the move, but the opponent decides to be reckless.)

This batting also began a tense moment, with two good balls and two bad balls, and the batter had no way out.

"A curveball inside the corner from the strike zone to the bad zone!"

Obviously, the fact that immortality does not distinguish between good and bad balls has not yet been exposed.

"Inside corner kick? No, this ball is..." Xiandao resisted the desire to take action after seeing the ball.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

This way the ball count is full and both sides have no way out.

Even this situation is beneficial to the batter, because Hengxue doesn't want to let Sendao get on base. (Everyone should think so when seeing that speed, right?)

Xiandao thought so too, and he didn't think that Hengxue's catcher would guess that he thought so, and then use the bad ball to miss him.

“I saw an interesting statistic here.

Currently, although Sendō-kun has not played many high school games, counting today's game is his fourth.

Started four consecutive foreign games,

His batting average is over 90%. "While the pitchers were discussing the signal for the last ball, the commentator made a shocking revelation.

"More than 90%?" At this moment, Hengxue's ace pupils suddenly enlarged, and he was extremely surprised.

He was not the only one, even the players in Hengxue were shocked.

A high batting average in the short term is nothing new, but starting all of them is new.

This means that, except for four bad situations, touching the ball and the like, he hit almost all of them.

It cannot prove that Xian Dao is infinitely strong, but it can prove that he is definitely a strong hitter.

And a very lucky slugger.

However, after the simple surprise, Hengxue's catcher Bai Yu quickly returned to normal and played the secret signal.

Ace Yi Neng nodded, took a deep breath, and started pitching.

"Keep the ball low!" Yi Neng told himself secretly, recalling the last time Xiandao played on the mat!

"call out!"

"???" Xiandao saw the ball and raised three question marks in a row.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

It's true that the ball went into the catcher's mitt, and it's true that the ball was depressed, but this one hit the ground early and created a bounce ball.

This is also the reason why Xiandao has a question mark on his face.

"Bad ball!"

"Bad ball four!"

"Ping ping ping pong!" Xiandao dropped the bat and went to first base.

Yi Neng was too concerned with keeping the ball down, resulting in ball-handling errors.

He could clearly see Sendō's American scoop, and the bad ball in the outside corner was easily swept to the outfield.

In the end, he was overwhelmed by the pressure, at least for a moment, and made another mistake.

"Ah haha! That bastard was escorted out again!" (Why do you say again?)

“That bastard is on first base, but it’s actually no different than third base!

This will put pressure on the shooter. After entering the scoring circle, Hakushu will feel much more relaxed! "Miyuki also laughed.

"You have no right to say this!" Several third-year students on the bench complained to Miyuki at the same time.

"Ah ha ha! If only you were behind this guy, you bastard can only concentrate when the runner is in the scoring circle! Ha ha!" At this time, Kuramochi is not the best damage partner if he doesn't last the last hit.

Even Coach Kataoka couldn't help but glance at Miyuki.

Miyuki, one of Qingdao's specialty products, has a look of resentment on his face!

　Asking for votes….
