Chapter 266 Magic Ball

“In the second half of the second game, Daocheng Industrial’s attack!

Four sticks! Catcher, Harada-kun! "

"Please! Four sticks!"

"Shut up!" Harada retorted Narumiya's inappropriate cheers.

"Thump thump thump thump! Hi!!!"

"Thump thump thump thump! Hi!!!"

"Thump thump thump! thump thump thump!"

"Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump! Harada!"

With the appearance of the four sticks, the support seats of Daocheng Industrial also became lively.

"It's out! Daocheng Industrial's four sticks!"

"I will never let go of a good ball!"

The shooters of the Academic Team were singing along on the bench, without thinking that after the butterfly ball missed, it was just a throw and catch...

"Kill him! Bastard!" Qingdao's Spitz had already begun to roar.

"That's right! While Jiang Gu is in good condition, let's suppress them!

Even Daocheng Industrial cannot remain indifferent! "Xian Dao said to himself in his heart.

That’s right! "I won't remain indifferent!"

Due to the existence of the Kunyou coach, even Xiandao dared not think that Daocheng Industrial would collapse due to the situation on the field. In fact, there was almost no possibility of them wavering.

In this regard, even Coach Kataoka, who is good at motivating players, cannot do it. It is not because of Coach Kataoka himself, but because of Daocheng Industrial's record over the years, which makes them extremely proud. They have a glorious tradition.

This tradition allows them to firmly believe that they will win. In their eyes, winning and entering Koshien is a matter of course. These traditions allow them to maintain stable performance regardless of their advantages or disadvantages.

Qingdao has not won in the summer for too long. Without this kind of confidence and tradition, even Chun Sang in the previous life was unable to suppress the joy of winning when the final count was eliminated.

Although it is a famous family, although it maintains the top combat power in the country, Qingdao, which has not won a key battle for a long time, is destined to lack some confidence when facing teams of the same level. It is impossible for everyone to be like Xiandao. The stronger the opponent, the stronger he will be. The happier.

Sendo has been without tension for too long, just like Saitama thought when the underground man appeared in the dream in the first episode of One Punch Man.

Just like what Daiki Aomine said in Kuroko's Basketball: "I am eager for an opponent who is equal to or even stronger than myself to appear and have a happy showdown!", their hearts have been silent for too long.

Others are ordinary people. In the past, their lives have always been about winning and losing. What they desire more is victory, but this desire is a desire that has never been won, so it is easy to show fatal signs when victory is about to be within easy reach. The flaw!

Rather than the kind of self-confidence that purely believes that one can win, the real desire is to strive for victory at all costs.

How did Qingdao lose last time? To a large extent, they don't want to win enough.

They fought hard enough during the competition, but they had never experienced a true death match. As a result, in the end, they actually ignored the fact that a team like Inami who really wanted to win was desperate to pursue victory.

To a certain extent, they also lacked this awareness. It was not that they were unwilling to give up but that they could not change their thinking. In the end, they forced four sticks to score points and took the lead. Narimiya Ming suppressed Qingdao's final counterattack with an absolute difference in strength.

Dongqing could only watch helplessly and watch the team's defeat.

Overall, first-year Cheng Gongming doesn't have the so-called absolute strength.

But this thing must be combined with the actual situation. As a relay or a shut-down pitcher, it is not easy to deduct points from him in a short period of time. In a short period of duel, the first-year Narimiya Ming also has a certain degree of absolute Strength.

This year's third grade students have learned from last year's lessons, but it is impossible to change their thinking in a short time.

Therefore, in the previous life, Qingdao's ability to persist largely depended on the pace of a few first-year calves who were not afraid of tigers and behaved recklessly.

In this life, Immortal Dao is a bigger troublemaker. Because of the state of the wheel at the critical moment, I am afraid no one can compare with Immortal Dao.

In the words of Qingfeng in Black Basket, Sendō's state when facing Narimiya Naru is, "He has been longing for an opponent who is equal to or stronger than him, and this extremely tense battle will be useless if he does not win." It makes sense.”

It's just that the game has just begun, so this state is not very obvious. For example, senior Chris just discovered that Xiandao paid more attention to some details than usual, and was much less distracted than usual.

You must know that Xiandao usually stands in the strike zone. Sometimes, even when the pitcher raises his leg to throw, he can take the time to look in another direction. When the pitcher is about to release the ball, he will look in the direction of the pitcher again.

However, fighting spirit is always fighting spirit, and fastball players like Feng Gu can only choose to confront him with hard power.

Especially now the condition of Xianggu is still very good.

At least he has not forgotten the teachings of immortality. Although it is not as effortless as when he was at the peak of his physical strength in the previous game, the extra strength that his body can't help but add is not too much now.

"Don't use too much force on your arms!" Fang Gu muttered silently before shooting.

When the body is relaxed, the overall movement looks a bit gentle, but the ball thrown is not gentle at all.

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

The first ball was hit to the guardrail behind him, and Harada was very tenacious in keeping up with the ball.

The first time he saw Fukiya's ball in the strike zone, even Harada almost missed it.

"Very good! The ball is very fast!"

"Nice ball Fang Gu!"

"call out!"

"Boom!"

"Bad ball!"

"The ball is very powerful!!!"

"Keep attacking!"

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

After making adjustments, Harada, who shot earlier, still shot a little slower. Although he hit the ball accurately, he couldn't hit the ball at the right time and could only go out of bounds.

"Will you still swing late like this? What an incredible first grader!" Harada immediately gave up the idea of ​​​​long hitting and held the bat shorter.

Once there is someone on the base, the player has to use a fixed position to prevent stealing the base, causing the ball speed and power to decrease.

Harada sacrificed himself and pursued getting on base to create opportunities for his teammates to attack the valley.

This is what was said before, Daocheng Industrial's desire for victory led them to be unusually decisive.

"The fourth bat actually held the bat too short?" Even though he had seen Inami's decisiveness last year, Miyuki was still surprised by this spirit of sacrifice.

"Relax! Just like that guy from Sendao said! If you use too much force, you'll be dead!" Miyuki thought in his mind while raising his gloves after giving the signal.

Jiang Gu nodded deeply.

"Hey! Feng Gu! You can throw that fast finger ball higher boldly! ... Throw it higher!" Fang Gu's heart resounded with the words of immortality.

"Pitch it higher! They'll swing at it! Sendō-san said so...!"

"call out!"

"Straight ball!? ×2!" The catchers of both teams at home plate thought at the same time!

"No! That bastard's suggestion!" Miyuki immediately remembered what Sendao had said to Fangtani before, and he chose to believe that Fangtani was not a missed shot. Even if he missed the shot, it would only hit his protective gear. As for whether it hurt or not, he decided He knew it himself.

"boom!"

And Harada took action on this "easy-to-play golf course". They originally gave up the lob and aimed at this barely-playable golf course.

What's more, he knew it on the first ball. The speed of the ball in Xianggu didn't give him any room to think. If he couldn't seize such a good opportunity, he would have to shoot for balls that landed differently every time.

"We got it!" Just before the bat made contact with the ball, Harada also felt that the ball was there.

"Snapped!"

However, just when the bat and the ball were still tens of centimeters away, the ball suddenly dropped rapidly and dodged the bat as if it had come alive!

"nice shot!"

“The batter is out!!!”

"what!!!"

"Yo Xi! Strike out four people in a row!"

"This boy is in great shape!"

"Fanggu-kun!"

"Don't do this! You're going to be exposed!" Then Kanemaru saw Furiya using that unreliable catching posture again, and shouted speechlessly.

Sure enough, Fang Gu didn't catch the ball!

Every time Fanggu couldn't catch the ball, he would open the opening of the tip of his glove so small that the ball wouldn't even go in. Only if he could catch it would he be able to catch it...

"I was scared to death! I thought it was a straight ball! I almost missed it again! But if you can throw such a ball, the real headache is the batter!" Miyuki was frightened by this ball and was sweating all over.

This is also the unfriendly aspect of the fast fingerball, which is known as the last magic ball of the 20th century. It is hard to get used to the ball, which has the same speed and path as a straight ball before the change. If the ball suddenly misses, only a ghost can catch it.

"What are you doing? Four-bat hitter!" Narimiya walked up with the bat in his left hand, as if he was going to hit someone, with a step that he didn't recognize.

"Sorry!!" Harada said angrily.

"That fast crossball is exactly the same as a straight ball! Look at the pitcher's condition, which is not good!" In fact, Harada was really worried about the game.

Jiangu's current state doesn't look like he can fight quickly!

Moreover, Daocheng Industrial must consider the opponent's four pitchers, and the estimation must not be based on the premise that Qingdao's pitcher has problems. Moreover, there is a three-point difference now. No matter how you look at it, it is an absolute disadvantage for Daocheng Industrial.

They gave up the high-pitched pitches, which were easy to hit, and they would keep an eye out for fast finger shots, so it would be difficult for the batter to miss the fast finger shots like the one that made Kashen miss. .

And a hitter whose pitch is too low will not hit such a too fast pitch. Even if he is not chasing such a low pitch in the strike zone, he will not hit it. Instead of playing with the power of the ball, it is so fast and pressing. Such a low straight ball is so hard to hit, wouldn't it be nice to wait for a better hit?

But this kind of ball is neither too low nor too high, and it cannot be called a particularly hitable ball. Being able to throw a fork ball that reaches this quality before changing is a nightmare for hitters.

After all, the fast finger ball is a magic ball that only begins to change when it is in the batter's hand, and it is difficult to distinguish it from a straight ball before it changes.

Of course, Jiang Gu would not think so much.

He saw that as long as he did what Xiandao said, the hitter would take action obediently, and he was also the main gun of Daocheng Industrial. Now he admired Xiandao even more.

However, Miyuki now has new ideas. He knows the bench strategy very well, and he hopes that Feng Gu can support as many games as possible.

Although he didn't know that the coaching staff wanted Furitani and Danba to shoot the entire game, the longer Furitani lasted, the greater the pressure on the opponent.

Who makes Qingdao have more pitchers? If Futani lasts too long, the remaining pitchers will have less time to give Inami a hit every time he strikes one. If Futani can last six innings, think about it! In the remaining three innings, three pitchers were defeated, even if Inami was calm, he would be anxious.

Although it is super unrealistic to support six games...

But here’s the meaning!

The ballpark was still roaring in response to Furitani's strikeout.

"Five bats! Pitcher, Narumiya-kun!"

To be honest, hitters like Narimiya Naru are Miyuki's favorite type.

Not only does Miyuki understand Naru's character very well, but Narimiya Naru is very direct when attacking, but he doesn't have the almost wild instinct of Todoroki and Sendō.

"Shoot when the ball comes!" Narimiya's hitting theory is very similar to Koharu's, but it is not something ordinary people can do.

This requires a lot of striking talent.

Narumiya stood in the batter's box, and the sounds of cheering for Fukiya could still be heard from the sidelines. The main first-year strikeout of the opponent's four bats was still too exciting.

"It's so noisy!" Ao Jiao Ming was definitely not happy about other people being in the limelight.

Tanba-senpai, who was practicing pitching with Miyauchi-senpai nearby, was also stopped and asked to take a rest.

However, due to what Sendō said before, Senior Miyauchi did not ask him to learn how to bench, but asked him to continue moving his joints.

It was an unintentional act by Immortal Dao, and it was almost certain that Senior Tanba's sprained feet in his previous life would not appear.

To achieve this level of joint movement, unless Tanba-senpai suffers from some related disease and it affects his sports career, the sprained foot incident is likely to occur.

"Don't worry about it so much! Just suppress him with a straight ball with all your strength." Miyuki's strategy for Narimiya Naru is still to rely entirely on the speed and power of the ball to suppress him.

With Narimiya's physique, it is difficult to resist Furuya's pure suppression of ball speed and ball power (brute force), unless there is someone on base and the ball speed and ball power are greatly reduced with a fixed posture.

"Boom!"

"Ping!"

"This guy..., let's throw some kawaii shots that are worthy of a first-year player!" Narumi Narimiya got angry when he saw Fukiya's straight shots, and he was so competitive.

"Boom!"

"Ping!"

Although Narugong Ming could see it clearly, he was obviously suppressed by the power of the ball for two consecutive goals.

When the bat hit the ball, there was an obvious movement of retreating, which showed that Narimiya couldn't hold the bat steady at that moment, and he was obviously suppressed by brute force.

At this time, Jiang Gu was just like in his previous life. He looked at Cheng Gongming with great fighting spirit and even forgot about the teachings of immortality and started to increase his strength.

However, things like afterburners will not have an impact on the straight ball at this stage when the physical strength is still sufficient.

But if we don't get back to that state, it will be difficult for Harada to hit the fast finger ball that makes it difficult to distinguish, causing it to miss.

Only that kind can be called a real magic ball.
