Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 379 Advantages

“No need to say anything, just take this opportunity to adjust your breathing!

Next up are six bats for power hitters! " Kiriyama, who stepped onto the pitcher's mound, said to Hoshinomiya.

"Ok!"

……

The two didn't have much additional conversation. After seeing Hoshinomiya's breathing become steady, they returned to home base.

"Six bats! Third baseman, Masuko-kun!"

After Masuko walked into the batter's box, Coach Kataoka gave a code signal to the players on the court.

"Fortunately! Suppress it!"

"Stop them here! Please! Ace!"

"Masuko-senpai, come on!"

"Get out!"

……

"First goal! Low outside corner!

Two is out, no problem!

Calm down and just fight the batter! "

"Hmm! Phew!" Star Palace exhaled.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

“Nice ball pick!”

"The pitcher can't hit the strike zone!"

"Hoshinomiya-senpai! The ball is very sharp!"

"It's not bad! I've recovered a lot in ball control, and I probably made the shot with my glove." Kiriyama was quite satisfied with this first ball.

Of course, the Qingdao side also discovered this.

Coach Kataoka continued to give instructions.

"Second pitch, a slow curveball to the outside corner!

To get into the strike zone

Throw your most confident pitch here! "

"puff!"

"Steal a base!"

"Nani? Stealing a base with two outs? This is the first inning!

Fortunately, don't be affected! " Kiriyama quickly raised his head and observed the conditions of the runners and pitchers.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Snapped!"

"Safety!"

“Successful stolen base!!!

This means there is someone on second base!

Yuuki-kun made a bold move that was not afraid of being eliminated at all, and he succeeded in one fell swoop. "No one in the audience thought that Yuki would choose to steal a base at this time.

Kiriyama also breathed a sigh of relief. It was a minor matter for the runner to reach second base. The main reason was that he didn't want the pitcher to recover. Fortunately, Hoshinomiya was not affected.

"Nice ball!" Kiriyama shouted to Hoshinomiya sincerely.

Hoshinomiya nodded to Kiriyama. He was indeed startled at that moment. Fortunately, he calmed down and successfully entered the strike zone with the change ball.

The ace adjusted, and the next step was to decide the outcome with the batter.

"Here! The referee is very lax about the outside corners today, even a slight deviation will be considered a strike!"

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Wooga!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Yo Xi! I'm chasing him!"

"Suppress him! There's still one more goal left!"

"The timing is perfect! Masuko-senpai!"

"Tangle him with foul balls! This pitcher can't hold on!"

At this time, Masuko-senpai also looked at Coach Kataoka as usual.

Coach Kataoka also gave a secret signal as usual, and it was hard to tell whether it was true or false. However, with two outs, Nishibon also completely targeted the batter and was not affected by the Aomi bench.

If you are out of the game, you may be nervous about what the other party will do!

After two outs, there is basically no maneuverability.

"Last pitch! A sinker into the inside corner, right at the batter's feet!

The cheater takes action! "

Xibang also decided to have another showdown.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Yo...,???"

"Ding!"

"Safety strike? Are you kidding me?"

In an instant, Tetsutei and Masuko on second base started running at the same time.

"First base!"

"Snapped!"

"...!"

"Out!" The runner and the ball arrived at very close times. The referee hesitated for a second and still gave the decision of out.

"Three out! Change the field!"

"Phew! It scared me to death!" Tongshan exhaled fiercely when he saw the result.

He never dreamed that Qingdao would give such an instruction, nor did he expect that such a big body could run so fast.

Almost the entire Xibang defensive formation was taken aback, but luckily they changed sides.

"Mine-san?" Owada looked at Minefuji next to him.

I hope seniors can give me an explanation.

“I didn’t expect Qingdao to be so bold, stealing a base with two outs and hitting a safety!

However, Seido's purpose should be to put pressure on the pitcher!

Rather than really aiming to grab points.

It is difficult for a change-up pitcher who has shown signs of recovery to be beaten by the start, so he simply uses this strong offensive posture to put pressure on the opponent.

In this way, Xibang will be alert to such sudden attacks throughout the game, thinking and preparing to deal with various situations.

If there are too many things to think about, problems will easily arise, and at worst, it will increase the physical exertion of the pitcher. "

"Physical fitness?"

"Yes! You need to think too much, and the state of concentration will definitely consume more!

In particular, Qingdao uses this kind of strong attack to prevent his opponent from relaxing at all times, which will consume a lot of physical energy. Moreover, the temperature today is not generally high. The team that is lagging behind will have the most difficult time! "

"I see!"

……

"Nice runner! Masuko-senpai!"

"Nice bunt! Although it was almost a pity!" Sawamura was praising Masuko-senpai's bunt again.

“Although we were a little unlucky and didn’t get on base, our goal has been achieved, using our all-round offensive attitude to launch attacks non-stop.

The temperature is so high, the opponent's pitcher can't pitch the whole game, so let me pull him off the mound early! "Coach Kataoka gave high praise to the attack in the first game.

"Hi!!!"

"The next step is to defend! Miyuki! Furuya!

If we can suppress it with zero points, the rhythm of the game will undoubtedly lead to us.

Suppress them and get the perfect start! "

"Hi!" Miyuki agreed with a smile.

"Let's go!" Team Zhe said.

"Oh!!!"

……

"What an unexpected start! Brother Kataoka!

We can't lose to them either! "Xibang's coach Nishiji said to the players.

"Oh!!!"

“In the second half of the first game, Xibang High School’s attack,

One stick, strong hand, Mr. Nakagawa! "

"Sure enough, midfielders are all fast runners!" Sendō from the center field complained alone.

"Come on! Monster Prince!"

"Let me take a good look! Your high-speed ball!"

"Keep striking out the batters!"

Fang Gu also received many fans in Koshien, including uncles and young ladies.

The uncle naturally thinks that the name of the high-speed ball is a romantic idea, and the young lady basically just cares about her appearance.

I guess many people don’t even know what a strikeout is…

"Fight him out! Nakagawa!"

"You can also try safety strike!"

Xibang's leadoff hitter is second-year Nakagawa. Although Xibang is dominated by third-year players, there are still three second-year starters.

"Phew! Let me see it! Your high-speed ball!" Nakagawa glanced at Fangtani on the pitcher's mound and thought to himself.

"There is no need to save energy or test it!

Come over with all your strength!

This is something you can do too! "Miyuki laid out his gloves carelessly.

Fang Gu raised his arms high.

"puff!"

"piu!"

"Boom!!!"

"nice shot!"

"148!"

"The ball speed is so fast right from the start!"

"That's it! The Monster Prince!"

"Fanggu-kun!"

Just one ball lit up the Koshien stadium, and this was Akatsuki Fukitani's pitch.

"What an oppressive force!

I couldn't help but take action on bad balls.

The floated straight ball seemed to be alive!

This pitcher is probably more difficult than what you see in the video! "Nakagawa couldn't help but glance at Fukutani again. He happened to see Fukutani not receiving Miyuki's pass again.

The cute look also made him a little dazed.

"puff!"

"piu!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Ah! My palms are numb! Although the ball path is very straight, it is not easy to hit!

Is this a straight shot for this man? "

"piu!"

"Boom!"

"nice shot!"

"Batter's out!"

"Quickly finger the ball! I can't catch a dozen seats!" Nakagawa walked down the court helplessly.

"Two sticks! Shortstop, Nanase-kun!"

"Nanase-san! This guy's ball feels like it's moving around! It's very difficult to hit!" Nakagawa walked down and gave some simple suggestions to his senior. He couldn't tell anything from a single hit.

"is it?"

"piu!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"piu!"

"Boom!!!"

"Bad ball!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"piu!"

"Boom!!!"

"nice shot!"

"Batter's out!"

"150!"

“After the cross ball, it’s a 150-kilometer straight ball at the end!

The batter strikes out!

I got two strikeouts in seven balls. I was in excellent condition today! ! ! "The commentator shouted excitedly.

The audience in the stadium was also very satisfied with Fang Gu's performance. He didn't save any energy at all and threw the ball with all his strength from the beginning. It was really fun to watch.

After quickly getting two outs, the situation has clearly turned towards Qingdao.

"Three sticks! Catcher, Kiriyama-kun!"

"Kiriyama please! Fight him out!"

"Don't let the first-year kid continue to be arrogant!"

"Jiang Gu! Don't get carried away!

It’s just starting now! "

"Suppress him!"

"puff!"

"piu!"

"Boom!"

"nice shot!"

"150!"

"Here we go again! 150 kilometers!!!"

"Nice ball Furuya!" Miyuki stood up and threw the ball to Furuya.

"Although the ball path is in the middle!" Miyuki complained after squatting down again.

"Boom!"

"nice shot!"

"Ping!"

“The ball was hit high! It didn’t fly out of the infield!

Got it, three outs to change the game! "The commentator saw that Onisan easily caught the ball, which had already covered up the referee's decision.

"This is really an incredible first grader!" Coach Nishidera sighed as he looked at Fukiya running down the pitcher's mound.

"What a great start! There was no self-destruction at the start today!

Don't ignore me! Fall to the valley! "Sawamura stepped forward as soon as he came back from Fanggu, but the child still couldn't speak.

"You are not complimenting me like this! Eijun-kun!" Xiaochun reminded from the side.

Koharu was like an old mother, taking Kanemaru's place. After all, Kanemaru couldn't take care of Sawamura on the bench.

"This is the situation! Keep putting pressure on them!

Don’t be afraid of striking out, put pressure on the opposing pitcher, and get them to pitch more.

Of course, don’t let it go when a good golf course appears! "Coach Kataoka did a simple pre-war mobilization. The policy has already been decided, and the rest depends on the players to implement it.

"Hi!"

“In the first half of the second game, Seido High School’s attack,

Seven sticks! Catcher, Miyuki-kun! "

"Fight it out! Miyuki!"

"Don't drop the chain even if there's no one on the base! You bastard!"

"Get out!"

Following the accompaniment, Miyuki walked into the strike zone!

"Although this hitter doesn't have a high batting average, he scores a lot of points, so be careful!"

"Yeah!" Returning to the bench, Hoshinomiya, who had almost adjusted, was about to start showing off his difficult side as a change-up pitcher.

In particular, this change-up pitcher has two change-ups that can make batters miss the ball, and they have fast enough ball speed and good enough ball control. Although one change-up ball that makes the hitters miss has been temporarily blocked.

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Ping!"

"Bad ball!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"nice shot!"

"Batter's out!"

After struggling for several balls, Miyuki was struck out.

Later, Fanggu and Hakushu were in similar situations.

Here comes the real highlight,

“In the second half of the second game, Xibang High School’s attack,

Four sticks! Third baseman, Sano-kun! "

"Here he comes! Nippon's monster hitter, Sano with four sticks!!

The first showdown between a monster hitter and a monster pitcher! "

"Come on! Fall to the valley!"

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

“Quick cross-ball for the first ball!

It is completely different from the previous match-up. It seems that the intention to solve the four-bat situation in this game is extremely clear. "

"This is a fast finger ball! It falls at such a fast speed, so it is really difficult to hit it!

It's a straight ball that will fall! "Sano was also surprised by the power of this shot.

As a result, the fighting spirit of this four-sticker was also inspired.

Sano is a powerful heavyweight hitter with exaggerated long-hit ability, but his accuracy is naturally a little less.

But the pressure a hitter puts on a pitcher is no joke.

No pitcher likes to have his bat touch the ball.

"puff!"

"piu!"

"Boom!!!"

"149!"

“Straight ball to the outside corner!!!

Sano swung empty again! "This kind of heavyweight duel is so fast-paced. The commentators are a little impressed by Qingdao's throwing and catching. They are not afraid at all!"

Sano was also a little helpless. The first ball he saw was a fast finger ball, and the second ball was a straight ball. He couldn't grasp the swing timing at all, and it was just two good balls.

The difficulty of winning the first place in Jianggu, which is completely unfamiliar to me, is no joke.

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"The third ball is also a fast finger ball!

The batter didn't swing! "

"What a risk! I almost made a move!

Four bats can't be struck out by three balls so easily! "Sano showed a scary smile, and his chin seemed to be elongated, which was very scary.

Another Yan Yi face, but this face will not be addictive even if it is seen by immortals.

In other words, Xian Dao has already been seen on the big screen.

He trembled when he saw it.

There's no way the chin is too long and the mouth looks like a triangle.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Boom!"

"nice shot!"

"Batter's out!"

"The fourth ball is another fast finger pitch! Four pitches and three change-ups. Sano, the monster hitter, swung and struck out!"

"Yo Xi!!!" Sawamura from the bench was the first to jump out.

　It's late again...,

　　Finally, please let me go to bed, good night everyone.
