Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 378 Crisis in the first game

"Third goal!"

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Sink! The hitter hit a point, out of bounds!"

"That's it! That's it! Suppress him!"

Fortunately! "

"The Palace of Stars!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Seeing that the ace had the advantage, the Xibang players were extremely excited.

"Immortal way!"

"Get out!"

"The timing is right!"

The Qingdao side is also cheering hard, but they are not willing to lose to the opponent in terms of momentum.

"Phew! The change ball pitcher is indeed difficult to deal with!

There’s also a slow curveball and a vertical slider for the game-winner!

It seems that my strength is only at this level!

No matter what, for whatever reason, I was called four sticks before!

I'm really happy!

There is someone in the scoring circle and scoring is the job of the four sticks, isn't it?

Definitely send the Cheetah back to home base!

hateful!

One day, I will get back the dignity I gave up today! Xiandao took a deep breath, looked at the bat in front of him that was held by his hands like a swordsman, and thought to himself.

Subsequently,

"Huh? Four bats..., holding the bat too short?

Is this... the consciousness of the first graders? "Tongshan was shocked when he saw the immortal way that gave up the dignity of two fingers wide.

Normal first graders have not yet experienced the cruelty of high school baseball, so they enjoy the game to the fullest.

The desire to win is not as scary as the third grade.

What's more, such a top hitter in the country rarely holds such a short bat, and that's in the first inning.

In addition, the immortal way itself is a striking posture without raising the legs, and now it is completely like a slave.

This is a posture that is achieved by sacrificing long-hitting ability and pursuing accurate white ball concentration.

"Immortal way..."

"I really didn't expect that this guy would take the initiative to hold a short bat!"

A group of people on Qingdao's bench were also very shocked, which was enough to show how much Xiandao wanted to win.

"This guy!" Senior Chris understood what Xiandao's desire to win was, and it was entirely for them, the third graders!

……

"But this hitter's explosive power, even if he is like this, he should have the ability to hit long. The outfield cannot let them advance." Kiriyama also quickly analyzed the situation.

There is someone on third base, and the fourth baseman takes the initiative to hold the bat short, but he cannot give out a walk at the beginning and ruin the morale of the start, so he must be cautious.

"here!"

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Low straight ball from the outside corner! It was hit out of bounds again!"

Today's referees are particularly tolerant of the outside corners, which means that the referees who call the ball a good ball are all shot by the Sendokai.

The referee will call a bad ball today, and even Sendao can tell that it is a bad ball.

Invisibly, it conceals his weakness in outside corner kicks, which does not distinguish between good and bad shots.

"Can I still reach it if I hold the bat shorter? The hitting range is really wide!

Moreover, he almost missed the sinker just now, and he took a shot against a faster straight ball.

As expected of a four-bat hitter, he would have been empty-handed by another player.

about there! Use this ball to finish him off! Fortunately! "

"Ok!"

"Huh!" Miyanouchi took a deep breath.

“It’s almost time to decide the winner!

But with two outs, I won't be able to hit any good pitches. I've already realized this, so I hold a short bat!

And after the straight ball, there should be a change ball!

A slow curveball or a slider?

pick one of two!

Wait a moment! Kuramochi-senpai! "While Gong Nai was adjusting his breathing, Xiandao was also analyzing the situation.

"Xian Dao! With your footwork, you can get on base even with a ground ball!

Of course I would score at the same time!

Since you have such a big awareness, I don't think you care about hitting ground balls!

It’s not shameful to hit this pitcher with just an infield hit for the first time!

If it’s four sticks! Call me right here! "Kuramochi was ready to rush to the base at any time, staring at Sendao.

"puff!"

"Huh? Are you aiming for the ground ball?" At this time, Kiriyama saw Sendō lengthening the short-handled bat again and made an instant judgment.

"call out!"

"Yo Xi! The same trajectory as the previous straight ball!

This way, even if you hit the ball, you will be very sleepy..."

At this time, the ball also began to fall diagonally... and it slid vertically!

"Ping!"

This harsh sound interrupted Kiriyama's thoughts.

At the same time, Kuramochi began to charge!

"Left field!"

“Miyanouchi’s winning goal was hit!

Left field is backing off like crazy! The ball is high but the speed doesn't look very fast. Can you catch it? "

"Get down to the ground!"

"Clap!"

“Inside!!!

home run! !

In the first half of the first inning, with two outs and a runner on third base, a four-bat hit gave Aomichi High School a two-run lead!

This is the job of the four sticks! "

"Yo Xi!"

"coming!!!"

"It was a home run right from the start! I'm in great shape today!"

"That bastard! Wouldn't my run to third base be in vain?

It's obviously hard to show off your performance! " Kuramochi, who returned to home plate before the ball even hit the ground, cursed with a smile.

However, this feeling is really great!

Sendō swore that he just wanted a hit on this ball.

But it doesn't matter now!

When Sendō returned to home base, he high-fived several people waiting at home base.

"He hit a home run in the first place! You can really do it!" Returning to the bench, senior Isashiki said.

"It just happened!

Thanks to Chris-senpai's information, the ball really fell at an angle of about 45 degrees!

There is obviously no video from the batter’s perspective! Xiandao looked at Senior Chris and replied with a smile.

“Although there is no batter’s perspective, I made some assumptions based on the trajectory and landing point from the pitcher’s perspective!

But Xiandao, what I gave you was only the side video, but it didn’t even have the pitcher’s perspective!

And that ball is not easy to hit! "

Senior Chris is telling the truth. Such large-scale changes are difficult to deal with.

For example, an ordinary straight ball is just a point to the hitter, and its trajectory will not change much. So just aim at its initial trajectory and then fine-tune it a little bit.

However, this kind of large-scale displacement of the ball will change from a point to a line, just like a ball flying by one's side. It must be accurately intercepted from a point in the middle.

Moreover, since the changing ball is thrown from the front, the change is still three-dimensional, which means that not only do you need to accurately intercept the horizontal point, but you also need to have a good sense of space to judge the distance change of that point.

Therefore, for pitchers whose ball speed is not slow and who mainly change the ball, they usually start to collapse after the end of the game, and it takes a long time for the batter to adapt.

Only Chris-senpai was surprised that Sendō hit the ball out on the first pitch.

Even if he knew it, this kid watched the pitcher's pitching video for several hours yesterday.

"is it?

I just looked at his side movements, combined with what Senior Chris said, about a forty-five-degree drop, and I probably simulated the trajectory in my mind! "As a matter of course, Xiandao said something that made people stunned.

"Hey! Simulation? Is your guy's head a computer?"

So a lot of people touched Xian Dao's head in a funny way.

“This is really an exaggerated sense of space!

The winning pitch that I was absolutely confident in was hit by a home run in the first inning. Even if it was Xibang's ace, it would be impossible for him to be completely unaffected! "Senior Chris sighed in his heart as he looked at the slapstick scene and the figure being comforted by the captor.

……

"Sorry! Fortunately!

It was my mistake in matching the ball! " Kiriyama, who stepped onto the pitcher's mound, took the initiative to take responsibility, hoping to relieve the pressure on the ace.

"Do not!

There’s nothing wrong with your matchmaking!

Was it guessed? "Hoshizhi Gong lowered his head and said slowly.

"Forehead!……

That's probably it!

Suddenly he has a longer bat and steps! The scene where we were entangled with each other while holding a short bat before joining together! " Seeing Ace like this, Tongshan could only answer honestly.

"That's really awesome! Even if you guessed it, you typed it out the first time you saw it!" Miyanouchi still lowered his head, making it difficult to see his expression.

"Just like the rumors! This guy's dynamic vision, reaction speed, ball sense and space sense are all very exaggerated!

Coupled with the monster's general athletic ability, it's not impossible to hit him! " Before Kiriyama could respond, Hoshinomiya continued to speak.

"However, don't be too discouraged! The home run is just good luck. The hitter himself was also surprised!" Kiriyama finally found a chance to speak and consoled him.

"I know! I actually don't care too much!

However, it is better to seal the vertical slide ball first!

There is a risk of missing the shot! "Having said this, Star Palace seemed to be relieved and raised his head.

"I understand! Then let's focus on sinkers and slow curveballs!" Kiriyama also understands that even if he doesn't care, his body's instincts will be affected.

No matter what, the opponent is only a first-year player, and he hit his most confident ball on the first pitch. It is not difficult to understand that the body's instinct may shrink at the last moment.

At this time, the ace cannot be allowed to miss the shot. He can only accumulate confidence through subsequent shots to regain control of his body.

"Be careful with the next five sticks!

Although his long hitting ability is inferior, there is no doubt that he is a hitter of the same level as the previous four bats and builds!

No need to pitch well, it doesn't matter if the numbers go against him and you walk him!

The most important thing is to adjust the status back. "Tongshan stuffed the ball into Hoshinomiya's gloves and gave his final warning.

“Breathe…huh!

Breathe in... exhale!

I see! "After taking a few deep breaths, Hoshinomiya replied.

“Please! Fortunately!

We can’t lose any more points in this round! "After Tongshan finished speaking, he turned around and ran back.

In fact, Hoshinomiya was not the only one who was shaken by the impact. The monster hitter at third base was even more impacted. After all, as a teammate, it was Shuzo Sano who hit the most winning goals for Hoshinomiya.

However, Sano quickly turned shock and shock into motivation and excitement.

It was the excitement of facing a strong person.

"Maybe this guy is stronger than me!" It was this blow from Sendao that gave Sano this idea.

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

"Man! Everyone has his own world!

If you want a metaphor! That's it! That star across the sky! ! !

Fight it out! Knot~city~!

Knot~city~!

Knot~city~! "

"Take this opportunity to kill him in one go! Azhe!"

"Chesang!"

"Che Sang?" At this time, the commentator asked the guests for their opinions.

“This is the scariest part of Qingdao’s line-fighting.

When a four-bat hit was enough to break the pitcher's soul.

Even if the pitcher has a strong will, allowing him to reluctantly continue to stand on the mound, he still has to face another hitter of the same level.

If he is hit out beautifully again, I am afraid that no matter how good the pitcher is, it will be difficult for him to suppress the subsequent hitters.

That is to say, he was completely defeated!

Moreover, Qingdao's subsequent hitters also all hit hard, which is a vicious cycle.

"

"That is to say?" the commentator asked cooperatively.

"In other words, if he is beaten out by five bats, Sibang will have to consider changing pitchers and let the ace go to the outfield to adjust.

Even if he can come back, Xibang's outfield can only rely on substitute outfielders to protect it.

I didn't expect that such an unexpected situation would occur as soon as the game started! "

The situation is actually similar to what the commentator said.

Think about how Yao Shi beat the senior high school in the game at the beginning of the game. Wasn't it the flat home run that hit the city in the beginning?

Then the next batter hit a one-run home run and collapsed.

If Zhenzhong hadn't collapsed and gone to the outfield, how could Yaoshi have scored so many points among the city's top three players.

Behind Honglei Shi, Qiuye, who is really responsible for defeating Zhenzhong Yao, can he compare with Team Zhe?

Therefore, the cheers from the Xibon support bench are like the final battle.

Qingdao also showed no weakness. This was an opportunity to defeat the opponent's ace in one go.

"Huh!" Team Zhe took a deep breath in the strike zone!

The team knew very well that with no one on second outs and such a situation, the ball thrown to him would not be an easy pitch.

Moreover, even if he is directly sent out, it is not unbelievable.

In fact, when the catcher squats down, the team has already realized that no matter what kind of ball it is, it is at least much better than a direct walk.

There is still crazy accompaniment and cheering on the sidelines, and the Zhe team has also entered the state.

but,

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!...Four!"

"Is it really still a recommendation?" Qingdao's supporters sighed.

"Fortunately! You..." What they didn't know was that Kiriyama looked at Hoshinomiya in disbelief.

"Damn it! I can't hit the ball!"

At the last moment, the body suddenly became weak!

Didn't you expect that home run to have such a big impact? “It’s been tough for Palace of the Stars on the mound, too.

The four bad goals this time were not intentional, but the ball was out of control.

After the Zhe team entered the state, the relaxed natural body put too much pressure on the pitcher. Coupled with the deep impression of the previous home run, Hoshinomiya's body actually felt a little afraid.

Although he is not pitch-phobic like Sawamura, he has a bit of that feeling.

It's the body's fear of being beaten out again.

Kiriyama could only call for another capture timeout, run up to communicate, and buy Hoshinomiya time to make adjustments.

The Aces must not fall here or their summer will be over.

　Please honestly ask for votes...,

　　By the way, I had always forgotten that the score of Kiryu's previous battle was fourteen to eight.

　　When I was scoring before, I thought about the six-point difference and muttered fourteen to eight. I wrote a seven and then the referee announced the result and went up to the front to argue about a seven. Fortunately, a book friend reminded me that the difference was fourteen to seven. It wasn’t until I got six points that I realized I made a mistake.

　　Thanks to Gigabit Book Friends for the reminder!
