Chapter 242 A confrontation between lightning and flint

"Five sticks! Backbone, Lord Immortal!"

"Five sticks! Backbone, Lord Immortal!"

“This hitter is No. 1 in RBIs on this team!

The strange thing is that he will hit a lot of bad balls, and the real trouble is that he will often give up hits.

This is a double-edged sword. You have to keep the ball as low as possible and miss it a little. If he takes a shot, he will make money, but in this situation, you can't walk him.

Just like that one-bat, the super-fast footwork leads to a too high scoring rate after getting on base.

To be honest, this guy is the most difficult hitter in this line. "Coach Ukai is most wary of Sendo. This is not a hitter who can just walk and everything will be fine.

The batter can only walk when there is a runner in front of him or when there are two outs. The rest of the time, most of the time, he can only decide the winner.

"The first goal will probably be an outside corner kick!" It is not easy to hit the first pitch, so I made a bold prediction.

But after mastering the new ideas, even if he predicts the path of the ball, he will completely leave it to his body to deal with it, which greatly increases his fault tolerance rate.

"Fight it out! Immortal Dao!"

"Let's have a big one!"

As Sendō pondered, the sidelines were filled with songs of support and cheers from supporters.

Even though he has a longing for Qingdao and hates him because of his love, he will not look down upon the first-year central player standing in front of him.

This is the reputation that Xiandao has built with hard power.

Maki even had the idea of ​​being a player invited by Qingdao.

It seemed like he was consoling himself for Seido not inviting him. To be honest, Maki wasn't discovered because Rei-chan didn't watch his game.

Take Rei-chan's memories of the third grade. The reason Tanba was favored in the first grade was his height. It was impossible to remain indifferent after seeing Aoki's height. What's more, Aoki didn't have Tanba's mental problem.

Japanese high schools do not have a quota limit for sports invitation students, but they will control the expenses. But for Aoki, if Rei-chan has watched Aoki's games, he will not care about giving him a quota.

"You must keep it down! Maki! This hitter knows how to hit the ball in the American style." Yagi made a downward movement.

Aoki nodded cautiously.

"First goal!"

"Here it comes! Outer corner! Huh?"

Seeing that the ball was relatively high, Xiandao secretly got lucky and his body started to move. At this time, the ball began to change.

"Ping!"

"Bang!" The ball hit the ground at an extremely fast speed.

"The outside world!"

"It's so dangerous! It would be dangerous if this ball goes in."

"It's that feeling again! Before the brain sees the change of the ball, but before it commands the body, the body moves on its own.

Is this the sequelae of giving great authority to instinct?

It would be wrong not to say it is a sequelae, it is an advantage!

But, what is going on? "Xian Dao quickly recalled the process.

"I don't understand at all! What's the difference?" Because of the competition, Xiandao could only give up and continue thinking.

"This is the swing of a first-year bat! It's the first curveball he's ever seen, and looking at his swing, he probably didn't expect it to be a curveball at all!

Can it be beaten out like this?

It should be because this guy is of the same stature, so the difference in the ball path he throws cannot be too big!

But how should we match the ball? "

“Use low balls, balls off the strike zone, and high balls to defeat him completely!

Otherwise, you will have to face six and seven bats when there are people in the scoring circle, so you must be prepared to lose points.

There is a high probability of losing one run on a hit or a walk, so why not decide the winner here! "Coach Ukai was giving instructions.

There is no way, as I said before, Xiandao is very tall.

This means that the lower edge of his strike zone is much higher than that of others. If it is not biased enough, it will become an easy path for Xiandao who is good at fishing.

Laoda is the least afraid of this kind of up and down swing.

A low ball that deviates outward from the strike zone needs a higher bad ball to match it. This makes his drop ball not that useful against Xiandao.

It’s useless to be envied by others. Height is something you are born with. For example, Onisan’s short legs have a smaller strike zone than Sendo’s. Pitchers with poor control of the ball will throw a lot of bad pitches. The disadvantage is that they really hit the ball. Controlled in a very low position, he is very difficult to play.

It's very possible that the ball that was very close to the ground entered the strike zone. Do you think it's uncomfortable?

Maki restrained the small man and was in turn restrained by the big man who was good at hitting low balls. However, it was a pity that only Sendō barely qualified.

Tanba-senpai is tall enough, but his striking ability is...

In fact, these are just what Senquan's Ukai coach thinks, because he doesn't know the reason why Sendo takes action against bad balls, and he can't distinguish between good and bad.

"Talking!" Sendao muttered to himself like Tenjiu in autumn before swinging the bat.

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Yo Xi! I'm chasing him!"

"You can keep up with the rhythm! Immortal!"

"Hey! Xian Dao's shortcoming of not being able to distinguish between good and bad shots has not been exposed. It's really great. Even though he is often chased, he doesn't have to worry that the opponent will always shoot more bad shots than him." Senior Chris saw it. This situation is also very speechless.

"Hmph! There's no time to worry about his little shortcoming now!" Coach Kataoka snorted!

"Are those guys coming?" Xiandao on the court occasionally looked towards the audience and continued to talk to himself.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"I already have some impressions of the trajectory of the curveball. This straight ball..." Xiandao said that the ball was too wide and difficult to hit.

"This guy! Is he in such good shape today? Huh? Is this guy looking at me?

No, this guy is looking at the Qingdao logo on my team uniform with a longing look on his face?

correct! If I remember correctly, this guy wants to join Qingdao!

Later, I went to Xianquan because I didn’t have the courage to pass the general admission and the old man repeatedly invited me!

Is that why this guy is in such good shape? What a misfortune! "Everyone knows whether Xiandao's misfortune is about himself or Zhenmu.

While Sendao was still complaining, Maki had already raised his legs high.

"call out!"

"idiot!"

"Ping!"

"Hit!"

"Long ball path to left field!"

"Safety!"

"What a pity! If the left fielder hadn't been too far back, this ball could have reached third base." I don't know what this guy is thinking. Isn't it normal for the outfield to retreat when facing a slugging hitter?

"Hahaha! Nice strike!" Quanshui Commander Sawamura shouted excitedly.

"Nice blow!"

"I told you! No matter how good your condition is, you actually dare to throw two balls into one pitch. Baga!

Well,...although this shot is a bit wider. "Xian Dao will not admit how much luck was involved in this ball. Whoever said it was all a bare-bones hit depends on the results.

"You can hit this pitch too!" Yagi looked at Sendō at second base.

"Don't panic! It's just a coincidence that the ball almost went out of bounds.

Since there's nothing you can do if you put him on base, be prepared to lose a run! “Coach Ukai, who doesn’t absolutely trust the players, is still very involved in the competition.

Although he doesn't know how to use secret codes to give specific instructions on where to throw each ball, he doesn't really think that each team doesn't have a code decipherer.

However, there are still a lot of general commands, unlike Qingdao, which gives players such a high degree of freedom.

Xian Dao went to second base and directly presented his unique large-scale separation.

"That's it! That's it!"

"Use your steps to disturb them!"

"Concentrate on the batter!"

"You can do it today!" "This guy can really run! But he shouldn't run on the first ball, right?" He said and gave a secret signal.

"Snapped!"

"Safety!"

"Isn't this pitcher in great shape? He turns around so quickly!

However, stealing third base is impossible without leaving the base.

I like this exciting feeling. "Xiandao patted the sand on his body with a happy expression.

After all, fast and furious!

So Xiandao left the base again.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

This time, Sendō did steal a base without the first pitch. Although it was not the first pitch as the catcher thought, it was because Aoki's turn was a little quick.

You have to observe a ball and see if there is anything that can be used as information about second base containment and pitching from the back direction to help Sendō distinguish the difference between the two.

Otherwise, it would be really cool if he steals a base when he is being pinned.

A true ball, the immortal way has been found, but the reliability cannot be guaranteed.

After weighing the pros and cons, Sendo decided to steal the base later. He would rather try for speed than give away an out because of a wrong judgment.

Moreover, Xiandao is more confident in his speed than his striking ability. Although there are risks, he does not think he will lose.

“This time, steal a step and then get going. The right-hander has a bigger turn!

I had to be a little more cautious and that would be okay. "Xian Dao is very convincing.

This guy has a late advantage in the strike zone, and he has begun to instill concepts into his instincts before running the bases, allowing his body to make its own judgments.

At this time, Maki retracted his legs, but the next step of turning around was still pitching, and Sendao's legs were tense, staring closely at his raised left leg.

Among the information that Xiandao instilled into his instincts, there was a line in his heart. If the raised leg was higher than that line, the center of gravity would shift and he would be unable to turn around. This is what I just thought of. This method can be better than before. The start is just a little faster.

However, only Xiandao, who has such fast dynamic vision and reaction, can grasp the time difference.

After all, the pitcher's leg lift speed is not fast, but it is not slow either.

In that moment!

"Steal a base!" the second baseman yelled quickly.

"hateful!"

"Bang!" Maki still chose to miss the ball.

"Bad ball!"

But Masuko is a right-handed hitter, so the catcher needs to avoid the hitter to pass the ball.

Although the time required to bypass the hitter after extensive training is very short, it still has to be bypassed.

In the face of lightning and stone fire, every 0.1 second is precious.

However, Xiandao made a calm analysis this time when he stole a base, and he didn't know how many 0.1 seconds he gained for himself.

"Snapped!"

"Safety!"

Although it was a battle, and it was quite embarrassing. However, in this life-and-death duel, the victory of Xiandao was extremely obvious.

"Sure enough, this guy is in great shape. His reaction and delivery are so fast!" Sendao glanced at Maki on the pitcher's mound and thought to himself.

"This is the first time you're out! You can continue to observe the path of the ball before you are chased! Masuko-san!

All it takes is an infield grounder and I'll definitely be back at home plate! "

Xiandao's gaze was scorching, and Senior Pudding felt something.

"Maybe we will force points to be taken!" Xianquan, who didn't know Qingdao's strategy, preferred that Qingdao would force points to be scored first to ensure first-come-first-served score.

So Xianquan's infield stepped forward, but don't get me wrong, they had no confidence in preventing scoring. Xianquan's speed was ridiculous. Unless the placement was very favorable, such as in front of the infielder, it was basically impossible to prevent scoring.

Even if it does land in front of the infielder, they still have to work hard, so it can be said that the score is basically forced. As long as the ball hits the ground and does not bounce into the infielder's glove, they can catch the batter's out.

Sendō is so outrageous at third base. He normally doesn't give up points and can kill runners. He has a chance to score.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"Don't move! Don't you want to force points but strike instead?"

"Forget it! I've already hit two bad balls now, and I can't care about that much anymore! A straight ball with a low outside corner!"

"Ok!"

While Maki was getting ready, he looked face to face with Sendō at third base.

"Steal a base!"

When Maki was pitching, Sendō suddenly jumped out a few times, scaring Senquan's third baseman and quickly reminded him.

"Don't be confused! Decide the winner!" Both Maki and Yagi knew that this shot could not miss again!

"Wooga!"

"Ping!"

However, Sendō, who was originally just pretending to steal a base to disturb the runner running back, had just slowed down and before he could shift his center of gravity and run back, he saw Masuko-senpai hitting a grounder out of the corner of his eye, so he accelerated twice and went straight to home plate. .

Being able to accelerate instantly, then stop, and then accelerate again is probably something that only Immortals can do.

Sendō's performance was similar to that of a batter hitting a ground ball in practice and a runner on third base taking off the moment the ball and bat made contact.

Although Xiandao left the base early and took a few steps to steal the base, his starting point was already a little more than 20 meters away from the home plate.

Twenty-eight meters has a certain possibility of completing the scoring strategy. Of course, twenty meters is a stable score, not to mention that the runner is Xiandao.

"First base!" Catcher Yagi made the right call.

There was no pass back to home base at all.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

"Safety!"

In this way, Qingdao High School got its first point.

"What! That was just now!"

"Accelerating again after an emergency stop?"

"After completing such an action, that guy's knee was not broken?"

"It's really ba ke mo no!"

The audience was shocked by Xiandao's entire set of actions.

"Nice runner!"

"Hahaha! Nice base running immortal way!" shouted from Commander Quan Shui.

"idiot!!!

You actually did such a dangerous move, are your knees okay? "The immortality that returned to the bench was not all praise, but also lessons from the man in sunglasses.

　It's a little late today, and I wasted a little time organizing the last bit of language.

　　Finally, please vote for me
