Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 261 Beginning

"First half of the first game! Daocheng Industrial is on guard!

Of course that’s the guy on the pitcher’s mound!

In this competition, the second-year ace who has not lost any points so far is Narimiya Naru!

And the one who caught his ball was the third-year batsman and fourth-year player Harada Masako!

Four of the starting nine are a hallmark of this team.

What they will face is the top line in the country.

Especially the 4-5 team consisting of Tetsuya Yuki and Akira Sendō is known as the number one 2-man lane team in the country!

"

"Number one in the country?" Sendō Ichiro asked.

"Yeah! Originally Seido's four-stick Yuki-kun was the top hitter in the country, and there were only a few people who could compete with him nationwide.

But Akila's strength is no weaker than Yuki's. The combination of two top hitters in the country is naturally the best in the country! "Coach Nakanishi explained.

"Really? I didn't expect my akila to actually do it!"

……

“Until you’re being chased, don’t take any shots other than easy shots!

Don't be afraid of getting struck out, just hit the ball you can!

At this temperature, as long as he increases the number of shots, even if he becomes a palace, the number of missed shots will increase! "

"Ok!"

The Qingdao players nodded collectively.

"Immortal way!"

"Ok?"

"You don't need to think too much, just enjoy the battle with Chenggong!

Haven't you been looking forward to it for a long time?

This victory or defeat! "

"Ah! But, Mr. Sunglasses!

Even if you don’t say it, I will do it! "Xian Dao chuckled.

"Let's go!!!" Captain Zhe shouted after seeing that he had finished speaking.

"well!!!"

……

"Facing Narimiya, who has no points, how Aomichi will attack him will become the key to the outcome of the game!" Owada said to the senior Mine in front of him in the press box.

"Ah! Compared with Daocheng Industrial, which has an immovable ace, Aomichi won by pitching, and it's true that the difference between victory and defeat lies in the strength of the pitchers on both sides." Even Minefujio couldn't say anything about the offense. When it comes to winning a game, although scoring depends on batting, compared to unstable batting, baseball ultimately wins the game on fielding.

Only solid defense can allow the line to slowly look for good opportunities.

"Cheer up!" Harada shouted as the batter began to take the stage.

"Oh!!!"

"In the first half of the game, Qingdao High School's attack,

A stick! Shortstop, Kuramochi-kun! "

Kuramochi chose to play left to better observe the path of the ball, but Naomi Miyazaki thought he wanted to bunt and steal a base.

Originally, it was true that he could observe the path of the ball better by playing on the mat, but who made Narimiya Ming's winning ball be a changeup ball!

This kind of ball is still more beneficial to right-handed hitters.

After all, he is not the third-year Cheng Gongming now, and the changes in his decline are even more sharp.

Inami's third baseman is always ready to step forward and handle bunts.

When Narumiya threw the ball confidently, the third baseman stepped forward quickly. Kuramochi did use a bunt stance, but he saw the path of the ball but did not release the bat.

Narimiya seemed to recognize that Kuramochi wanted to bunt, and Kuramochi kept using a bunt posture, but did not take action on bad balls.

If the third baseman wasn't such a famous player, he would have cursed and repeatedly stepped forward and backward.

In this situation, when the opponent is sure to bunt, the body will subconsciously not throw into the strike zone.

"Don't hit!" In Narimiya's voice, Kuramochi was escorted.

"Second bat! Second baseman, Kominato Ryosuke-kun!"

Coach Kataoka also started giving secret signals.

If you think normally, you will definitely bunt and send the bases to seize this rare opportunity. (These words sound so familiar...)

Kuramochi's large distance from the base stimulated Narimiya's nerves.

Speaking of which, this guy really looks a lot like Sawamura.

"Death!"

"Bang!" Ming Chenggong, who was not very good at containing the ball, started to play tricks on the first base, trying to contain the ball like crazy.

Sawamura would often do this kind of thing in the future...

Nari Gongming showed too much concern about the runner, which made people feel that he would make mistakes in controlling the ball, so Harada felt that Aomichi might let Kominato hit and run.

So Cheng Gongming was asked to focus on the attacker.

Just like in the pre-game meeting, Narumiya is not very good at containment but is quick with fast pitches.

It is this that makes it possible to relax.

Cautious yet bold, this kind of offensive baseball is Seido Baseball.

Whether it was because he slept well or because he was too excited about the duel with Narimiya Naru, Sendao was very energetic today and was much more focused than usual.

"It looks like he's not in the zone at all! Don't blame us for this!" Sendao thought to himself as he looked at Narimiya Naru on the pitcher's mound.

Kuramochi took a deep breath and stared at Narimiya Naru's feet. The moment he raised his feet...

"Steal a base!"

Narimiya's feet were fast, but Kuramochi's start was actually perfect.

"real or fake!"

"Is this a rampage?" Some viewers have already exclaimed.

"Don't underestimate people!" Harada didn't expect to steal a base alone at this time, but the infielder was full of vigilance.

"Snapped!"

"Safety!"

"Stealing a base successfully!!! It was so fast, even under the warning of the pitcher, the base stealing was still completed!

When this man gets on base, the scoring rate is high.

Unexpectedly, the first game brought us such a high-quality game. "

This also made Shirakawa intuitively feel that Kuramochi's fastest speed was almost the same as that of Karl Ross.

But thinking about Qingdao's recognition that the fastest man is not him...

Thinking of this, Bai He couldn't help but glance at Xiandao.

Xiandao, who was relatively focused today, really didn't see anyone looking at him, which is hard to imagine in normal times.

The goal has been achieved. Onisan made a decisive short hit. Since this ball was a sliding ball, it was almost a one-handed hit.

Harada, who was looking for stability, scored the number of eliminations of Onisan.

Then Chunsang aimed for the first goal under the coach's command.

Ning Gongming is not in very good condition right now, so I want to take this opportunity to defeat him and score some points.

But I don’t know what he thought, Chun Sang actually aimed for the inside corner kick.

"Probably a skating ball!" Sendō, who was preparing to put on a helmet next to Coach Kataoka, said.

"Huh?" Minister Ota was confused.

"Ping!"

Before Minister Ohta could ask a question, Jun-san, who was aiming for the inside corner, had already hit the sliding ball.

Although the ball path was not deep enough, it landed between the left field and the first baseman with Jun-san's blushing roar! “You’re kidding!” Narimiya shouted in surprise. This was obviously a sure-fire shot.

"The first one who comes to Qingdao High School scores!"

Although this goal had a lot of luck, it was indeed a very significant score for Qingdao.

"Immortal way! This is it?" Minister Ota asked his doubts.

"They are already on the alert for Ryo-san's bunt. Ryo-san is a skillful hitter who can handle any ball. Narimiya's straight ball is not good enough to even hit the bunt, so the opponent will most likely use a change ball.

That catcher also hopes to survive this crisis, right?

This way the situation will lead to them….

Rather than getting strikes, I prefer one ball to determine the outcome, so the only ball type is the slider.

According to the catcher's character, it would probably be like this! "

"Is this okay?"

"But this is just a matter of probability!" After saying that, Sendao walked out of the bench with the bat in hand!

"Here we go! The top two hitters in the country!

If it can survive this round of stringing, there is no doubt that Daocheng Industrial will still not fall behind in terms of momentum. Yang on the sidelines said to his teammates next to him as he watched Qingdao walk to the batting area and the preparation area for four or five strikes.

"Four bats! First baseman, Yuuki-kun!"

"A man! He has his own world! If you want to compare it! That is it! The star across the sky!..."

The third-year seniors stood in the front row and took the lead in singing the team's cheering song with the same shameless gestures they shouted last night.

Who can stand it when you turn sideways and stick your butt out?

Losing points so easily also made the Daocheng Industrial players understand that Qingdao was completely different from all the opponents they had encountered before.

"Huh?" Xiandao noticed that Cheng Gongming's expression began to change.

It turned into the looking-down face that Xiandao was very familiar with.

"Are you serious? This is the right thing!" Xiandao was not worried but became more excited.

"Azhe! Give it a big shot! One breath...!"

"Snapped!"

"Safety!" Before he could finish shouting, Chunsang was interrupted by a high-speed containment ball.

When Cheng Gongming became serious, his restraints became more sudden than usual.

"No need for any tricks, let's decide the winner! Zhesang!

It would be too wasteful to use tricks in such an exciting game. "Xian Dao said this to Team Zhe in his heart, and it seemed that he was saying it to himself.

At the same time, Narimiya Naru had already started to throw the ball. Throughout the action, his eyes revealed a deep murderous look and he looked down at the batter condescendingly.

"call out!"

"Baga! It's so good!"

Sure enough, the same event triggered the same result, Narimiya shot a straight ball from the center.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

But even though it is in the center, this ball is definitely close to 150 kilometers.

The team could easily hit the straight ball from the 150-kilometer ball machine, but missed this ball.

This is the difference between a pitching machine and a live pitcher.

"So fast! But this is...!

Rather than saying that he is strong, it would be better to say that that guy is going crazy!

You are totally trying to be brave! Such a start is an opportunity for us to attack in one go! "As an old acquaintance, Yuxing could tell at a glance that Narugong Ming was completely willful.

"If you can hit me!" an old man pinching his mustache said in a low voice on the sidelines.

"Hey! This is going to make you suffer!" Xiandao, who was waiting in the preparation area, relaxed when he saw Narugong Ming's current posture and sat down on the ground.

That gesture seems to say that if you throw the ball with all your strength, you won't be able to hit it even if it's easy.

However, this kind of ball will be hit out a big one after only a few times.

Narimiya Ming knew better than anyone that this shot was purely for venting his anger.

I was beaten out before to vent my anger.

At this time, a cheering song came from the audience again, and this time the female managers were also singing along.

Amid cheers from the bench, Narumiya's second pitch began.

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

This ball was a bad ball that went inside. Even the Zhe team turned their heads to avoid the bad ball. It was very close to his head.

The first ball in the center completely disrupted Harada's ball distribution, and now he can only hope to use a bad ball to open up space again.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

Sure enough, the next ball was a bad ball with a low outside corner!

"Isn't it true that Tetsu-san won't take a shot at this kind of ball and let the pitcher adjust his condition? Baga!" Sendao complained in a low voice about Harada's cunning, but his expression was full of appreciation.

Although Narugong Naru let the team swipe the ball very quickly, the stiffness of his movements was clearly visible to the naked eye, indicating that he was also nervous, or that there was something wrong with his condition.

I hope to use these two balls to adjust. Otherwise, once the ball is thrown like that and the change ball is out of control, it will not be like a straight ball, but it can also determine the outcome with speed. It is basically a throw.

Just when others thought he could almost throw a changeup ball, Sendō didn't think so. According to Harada's character, he would probably use a good ball to test Narimiya's state and Tetsu's state.

Then most likely he won't be able to throw a changeup. Sendō guessed that it would be a slider or a straight ball, and the possibility of a slider was higher.

Fingerball also requires condition to a certain extent. If the fingers are stiff, the amount of force exerted will have a great impact on the path of the ball.

However, for the fourth ball, Harada's match was indeed a straight ball from the outside corner!

The Zhejiang team grasped the opportunity but did not hit the center of the ball and it became a foul ball behind them.

"I see, you have grown up a little!

If it were you six years ago, you would definitely choose the most stable golf course.

But in theory, the straight ball is not bad, Zhesang is being chased, and he probably doesn’t dare to throw the straight ball at will!

The next pitch will most likely be a changeup or a fork!

I'm curious about what pitch they will use against me in the future? "Xian Dao is like a third party who has nothing to do with the competition at this time, with a lot of thoughts.

It can't be said that Sendō has eaten up Harada's character to death, but the pitcher's current situation itself does not have many options. Even if Sendō is used to match the ball, it will be about the same.

Even if you want to match the fork ball or changeup ball in advance, you have to consider the problem of missed shots in Narimiya's state. No one would dare to match it, including Miyuki.

Because the catcher who dares to match the ball is no longer bold, but can be said to be stupid.

It is absolutely impossible for Harada to let the situation lead to Seido.

Therefore, the next ball was a change-up ball, and Sendao was very confident because it was Narimiya Naru's winning ball.

What is the winning goal? That is a ball that the opponent cannot hit even if he knows the type of ball. At least the pitcher must have this confidence.

Although I can't remember the details, Naomi Naru in his previous life was very superstitious about speed balls. But Xiandao still remembers this.

So it is certain that there must be something wrong with Narimiya Naru's change-up ball in the last game. Although the speed of the ball that is easy to hit has completely dropped, it seems that it is not different from the full-speed pitch, but that kind of good ball path is good. The way the ball was played cannot be called a winning shot at all.

There is no way to explain this immortal way to teammates, but as long as you have seen it, you will know it, and there is no need to worry about it.

To be honest, if Narimiya's straight ball was two levels faster, the speed difference would be a bit more terrifying, and the change-up ball from the day before yesterday would be qualified to be used as an assistant for the straight ball.

Therefore, Sendao wanted to see what the change-up ball looked like as the winning goal.

　I feel so sleepy. I have to think carefully about the matchmaking for the protagonist tomorrow.

　　good night
