Chapter 216 Arrangements and Start of the Mimenxi War

After that, senior Chris briefly introduced that Mimensi often uses bunts in the line and rarely makes fielding mistakes. It gives the impression that it is a defensive team.

Other seniors also added some important information, such as the fact that the four bats often hit fly balls, and that he has strong shoulders in the left field.

Afterwards, coach Kataoka used a few simple words to mobilize the morale of all members and relieve Kawakami's recent pressure.

"Tomorrow's fight will be smooth, follow Kiryu's battle!"

"Hi!" When everyone heard the coach's arrangement, only Xiandao looked confused. Shouldn't he just win one game?

"Letting you hit five sticks is acknowledging your strength. You must have guessed it, right? We need to hide your information.

However, even though it is an important first battle, it is understandable to go all out, and others will not think so!

Do you understand it? "

"Ok!"

Xiandao understood that he was already Qingdao's fifth stick, but he would try his best to hide his information, while ordinary teams like Mimenxi would not think so even if he was a fifth stick.

"However, if I discover your strength..." Coach Kataoka did not continue talking about the lower area, but Sendao was still frightened.

After that, it was disbanded, and except for a few people in Jianggu, others were allowed to act independently.

Sawamura got the starting starting job because of Furutani. He approached the coach angrily and told him that he would be ready, but was depressed when the coach answered in a small voice.

But after being called away by Chris, he followed happily.

Sawamura's face is very changeable.

……

On the day of the first battle, Qingdao showed the momentum and formation of a famous family.

The music department and cheerleaders are all available, plus there are 70 or 80 non-regular players, which in itself puts a lot of pressure on the non-prestigious teams.

And as a member of a famous family, you can feel the sense of honor and pride.

"who are we?!"

"The King of Qingdao!!!"

“Who sweats the most?!”

"Qingdao!!!"

"Who shed the most tears?!"

"Qingdao!!!"

"Are you ready to fight?!"

"Oh!!!"

“With the honor of our school in mind, we have only one goal, which is to dominate the country!

let's go! ! ! "

"Oh!!!"

……

Qingdao, who had just put away his things, first formed a circle and then performed a routine in front of everyone.

The atmosphere immediately reached a climax.

"let's go!"

"Oh!"

Following the order from Team Zhe, the players from Qingdao entered the stage.

Game start!

"The second round of the Nishi-Tokyo Tournament begins now!

The match between Seido High School and Mimensi High School! "

Qingdao attacks first in the game,

"Qingdao's five sticks are first-year players!" The audience discovered Qingdao's lineup.

"It's true!" It was obvious that these two spectators did not watch the spring game.

The audience for the Spring Tournament and the Kanto Tournament are not large, so there are many people who don't know Sendō. Not to mention these two, there are baseball fans who don't watch the Jingu Tournament, the autumn qualifiers, and even the spring Koshien.

"What an immortal! I started as a starter just after the entrance ceremony in the spring game. Didn't you expect to start in an important game?" A baseball fan who had watched the spring game nearby gave them some knowledge.

As for poor Fang Gu, no one knows him. Except for those who have watched it with his own eyes, basically no one knows about the game, and these fans will not go to the venue to watch the game.

"It's true! This is the first time Qingdao has made a first-year starter so soon!"

"That's right! It's probably the first time that not only Aomichi, but also the entire Tokyo area can be called a famous family!"

"Is it okay? Let the first graders start in such an important game!"

It’s no wonder that the audience is worried, the first game is too important, don’t think that it will be fine if it is a weak team.

The emotional state of high school students is extremely unstable. It is easy for problems to occur in the first game due to some incidents, and serious state loss. It is not uncommon for a famous family to lose to a rookie.

On the contrary, only by trying their best to win can the players be on the right track psychologically.

"It doesn't matter! Xiandao-kun is already a qualified starter, but the spring competition shocked me!

Didn't you see that number?

No. 8, that Isashiki gave way to him! "

Before the game started, there was already a lot of talk about Immortal Way.

The Qingdao side encountered some troubles at this time. During the practice pitching on the field, he was the starter. He was not the ace in the data, but the pitcher with the number ten as the first substitute.

"Number ten! Nanping Shou, third grade!

Served as a pitcher in first grade.

But he has never appeared in an official game as a pitcher since then.

I didn't think of it before, but the only reason I can think of is that he spent two years practicing low-shoulder side shots for this summer. "Even if Qingdao's information is rich enough and Chris's notes are comprehensive enough, he can only have these records.

"It's really scary!"

"Huh?" Xiandao's sudden opening attracted the attention of a group of people.

"Third-year students working hard for the last summer!

In other words, the tricks they have carefully prepared for two years are being used on us. Xiandao smiled slightly and continued to finish the second half of the sentence.

"No matter what tricks the opponent has, we just need to believe in our baseball." Coach Kataoka saw the words and decisively boosted morale.

"Hi!"

Facing an opponent with absolutely zero information, the pioneer is the unluckiest touchstone and the one with the heaviest responsibility.

Before the central line comes, test the opponent's intelligence as much as possible.

But in this way, you can't focus on the duel and get hits, but you can fight as much as possible.

However, facing such an unfamiliar pitcher, how could it be so easy for you to get what you want?

And you can't just shoot at such a ball that has no intelligence at all, otherwise it will be solved with one ball, and the Cheetah's face will probably be lost.

"Play ball!" With the referee's announcement, the game officially started, and the air defense siren sounded in the field.

"Kuramochi, I'm going to hit you!"

"Use your footsteps to disrupt your opponent's rhythm!" Kuramochi's information is no longer a secret, and it doesn't matter if the seniors shout it out.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"So slow!" Not only Kuramochi, but others also commented in their hearts.

If you know the pitcher's ball speed for a good ball, it can't be said to be a profit or a loss. Just like what Xiandao said, the game is still going to last!

And this ball also tells that this pitcher's ball is lower than Kawakami's posture and release point. It is a ball path that first floats up and then falls. It is a change that can only be made by a slow ball. Therefore, because the ball speed is slow, the change is relatively large, which will be very troublesome.

Even Immortal Dao watched attentively and could not waste time on an opponent who had no intelligence at all.

Xiandao felt relieved when he remembered that there were several hitters in front of him to help him test. (Why does it sound so awkward!)

The second ball started low, inserted into the strike zone, and made a small change to the inside angle when entering the strike zone.

Kuramochi, who originally wanted to swing the bat forcefully, stopped, and the result was a second strike.

But this is a correct judgment. This kind of slow and large-changing ball can easily be killed if it is shot without preparation.

"Hey! It's not like you! Kuramochi, cheer up!"

"Be more proactive and do your best!"

The OBs on the sidelines were more anxious than the other, but they didn't know that Qingdao didn't have any information about this pitcher, and it couldn't be said that they didn't understand the game.

"Hey! Where are you going? Immortal!"

Seeing this changing ball, Sendao became uneasy and walked out of the bench. Sawamura noticed this and asked.

"Go check out the bullpen!"

"I have no idea what it means!"

"Don't make any noise! ​​Sawamura!"

"Ah! Senior Chris!"

"Xiandao hopes to find an angle to observe the opponent's ball!

It seems that he also attaches great importance to today's first battle! "

"Oh I see!"

Just when Sendō found a good angle, Kuramochi missed the third ball!

Not to mention that Kuramochi, even Sendō, didn't see what kind of ball it was, but the magnitude of the change was there and very low.

Although the catcher didn't catch it, he still blocked it at first base and got one strikeout. (Strikeouts that are not caught by the catcher will be counted as strikeouts even if the ball is blocked.)

Xiandao's eyes lit up, his fishing style was very restrained in this kind of low ball.

He considered whether to aim for this shot.

The OBs who didn't know the situation felt that it was caused by Kuramochi's abnormal waiting for the ball.

"The bounced ball was handled very well!" Team Zhe discussed his judgment with Chun Sang.

"Ah! Sure enough, these two are not temporary hunting partners!"

Onisan had a brief exchange with Kuramochi before he stepped onto the strike zone. Sendō was too far away to hear, and the coach gave a signal to aim for a good hitting path.

He repeatedly noticed Xiandao's gaze, glanced at it, and then looked straight at the court.

Just ignored...

Miyuki also felt that the first game was not going well, so he called Furitani out and used throwing and catching to warm up in advance. On the other hand, he hoped to take the opportunity to understand and adjust Furitani's mentality and state. This guy was expressionless. It was hard to tell how he was doing, whether he was nervous or not.

Mimensi's catcher hopes to trick Onisan into taking action on the low ball, but not to mention that the coach gave instructions. Even if no instructions were given, Onisan's ability to identify the ball is the best in the team.

They also underestimated the famous players. Except for Sendao, a guy who doesn't distinguish between good and bad, and Junsang, who will take action as long as it suits his appetite, the others have also been trained for a long time and will not take action easily.

However, on the second ball, when he originally wanted to continue to play a low ball outside the corner cautiously, the pitcher missed the ball.

Fortunately for them, however, Onisan scored into the glove at third base.

Junsang, who had three goals, was demoralized by the Spitz's words of support for Senior Xi, and the first ball was missed magnificently.

"From the right side, the outside corner kick looks quite wide!"

When Sendō came back and was ready to bring his equipment to the field at any time, he heard Kuramochi telling Masuko-senpai what he saw on the strike zone.

However, at this time, Isashiki hit a fly ball to right field, but the opponent's right field retreated early. This was a position aimed at Jun-san who had a strong shoulder and hit hard.

The moment he saw the ball fly out, Sendō pushed back the bat he was about to take out.

Chunsang, who had just taken two steps, also stopped.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

Got killed!

Three up and three down.

There were some regrets in the audience, some were surprised, and some were worried, but Xiandao knew that due to the efforts of the first three seniors, this pitcher had no secrets.

It is really difficult for a pitcher with this kind of ball speed to hit the ball when the change of the ball is unknown.

But in turn, the hitter has more time to distinguish the ball and be more accurate.

If you know the type of ball in advance, you can give up even if the change-up ball is difficult to hit. Not to mention that this pitcher's change-up ball cannot be said to have weird changes except that the ball path is low. This kind of horizontal change of the ball means that it is difficult to hit the ball when it falls diagonally.

Moreover, the opponent is afraid of Seido's line play and has always used low balls from the outside corner to determine the outcome. The change ball is also a vertical low ball. For Sendou, who plays mainly American fishing and supplemented by fly balls to the left, this is him. of natural enemies.

This is good news for Xiandao, but not necessarily for Qingdao.

Although he had figured out the opponent's pitcher, Fangtani was starting for the first time after all. He scored first and tied the game, so the pressure on the pitcher was different.

Although Jiang Gu is a natural idiot.

Fukitani's first start made Mimenxi's Chiba coach feel that Seido was underestimating the enemy.

"Hey! Jiang Gu! Even if you are beaten out, I will still be preparing!"

Switch with me immediately, you have no physical strength! "Well, in the second half, Sawamura spoke his mind.

He was ignored by Jiang Gu!

"You guys can't ignore me! Jiang Gu, you bastard, look over here."

However, with Sawamura making such a fuss, everyone knew that there was nothing wrong with Feng Gu's condition.

"Please be quiet!" Xiandao came out from behind and slapped the brim of Sawamura's hat down, blocking his sight.

"What are you doing! Immortal! You scared me to death!"

"Be a little quieter!"

"Ah! Senior Chris!"

"Sure enough, Senior Chris's words are useful!" Xiandao sighed in his heart and walked towards the court.

Midway through the game, I heard Miyuki fanning Fukiya, saying that he had no intention of dragging the game to the ninth inning, and that he was aiming to strike out all players.

As a result, Jiang Gu was stunned when he said that this was what he had planned from the beginning.

Xiandao was speechless.

The audience had never seen Furuya Kanto compete before, and they became worried.

In addition, Fang Gu was so clumsy that he couldn't even catch the ball, and kicked him when he went to pick it up. The whole audience burst into laughter, and some viewers became even more worried.

However, knowing that Fukitani was such a Seido player, the support bench composed of the coaching bench and the substitutes was not that troublesome.

They were just worried about the condition of the thing.

Mi Menxi was really happy, even lucky, thinking that Jiangu might destroy himself.

After the fielding players relax and other exercises at their positions, the second half of the first inning will officially begin.

And Xiao Fanggu, starting from today, is destined to have his name deeply remembered by everyone.

Just like they remember Sendō Akira deeply in spring.

Unknowingly, Xiandao, who is also a first-year student, looks like a reliable old man in the eyes of the OB sect.

Although I am in first grade, I don’t want to feel like first grade.

　Please vote, everyone go to bed early and good night,

　　By the way, I mistakenly wrote that the third round of Qingdao is the first battle. I have corrected it. I forgot to mention it before.
