Chapter 65, Practice Competition ()

"Forget it! Let him observe a few more balls first! The game is still long!" Coach Takei finally gave up the idea of ​​bunt.

"Don't shoot casually, watch the ball more!" Coach Takei directed the court.

"I don't know why, but I have to obey the coach's orders!" Morishita, a three-ball pitcher, could only obey the coach's request.

"It's so dangerous! It scared me to death! Ei-chan's ball is not as difficult to hit as I thought! Sen-chan also said that you need to use your brain more, so let's get an inside angle first to see the form!"

"Snapped!"

"strike!"

"Not moving? Are you observing something?" Takeda saw that the opponent was observing the ball and was a little overwhelmed, so he looked at the bench, but Sendao gave him a signal to follow his own pace, so Takeda gritted his teeth.

"Did you move to the left just now? Am I not dazzled?" Morishita saw some clues but still couldn't believe it.

second ball,

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!" The second ball was also from the inside corner but missed a little.

"It must have moved!? And the amplitude is too small, I can't be sure at all."

"Wait! Wait!" Before Morishita had finished thinking, he had already started to throw the third ball.

"Right in the center!"

"Ping!"

"The path of the ball was too good, so I accidentally shot it! But the feel was really wrong!"

Unfortunately for the batter, the ball rolled in front of the first baseman and then passed back to second base for a double play!

"Coach, the ball seems to have moved when it entered home plate. The amplitude is very small. I'm a little unsure." Morishita said to Coach Takei after returning. Normally, it is not easy for batters to detect it. However, the ball sense is relatively keen. Pitchers can still spot clues if they can observe.

"That's it! It's a moving ball! But if the deflection is imperceptible to the hitter, it won't have much impact on the hitter. It's just that our players' swings are not mature enough."

"No matter how cheap it is, just stand at the front of the strike zone. Although this pitcher's ball speed is very fast (for a junior high school student with a soft bat, 120 to the second half of 120 is indeed fast!) But it's not so fast that it can't be hit. At this level, you don’t need to play long, as long as you take your time, you will definitely score. Don’t take this to heart, and guard this round.”

"Oh!!!"

The game officially started at this time. After Coach Takei took over the ball distribution, Sendō temporarily gave up on deciphering the ball distribution ideas, and the two sides entered a pitching war.

Although Chicheng often had defensive reaction problems and allowed the opponent to get on base, he still defended tenaciously. In the fifth inning, the opponent recovered two runs, leaving only two innings left.

The opening was a bit big in the early stage, and the opponent began to feel troublesome. Chicheng Junior High School's defense was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The mistakes began to decrease, and the reactions began to become faster. No matter how much I simulated actual combat in the past few months, it was impossible to achieve the effect of actual combat. That kind of tension, after getting used to the competition, the previous practice began to burst out.

In the first half of the sixth inning, Chicheng once again got a chance to score. With one out, there were people on second and third base, and the batter was Omura who was ambushing the 6th bat. There were two good balls and three bad balls, and the ball count was full.

"Omura, if you can see it, fight it out!"

"Come on! Morishita, suppress them!"

The fight between the two sides has reached a fever pitch. At this time, the pitcher is ready to start throwing the seventh ball.

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Whew!!!" Omura took a deep breath. In this game, he was almost cheated twice, swinging at the slider, and once he was lucky enough to enter the strike zone, and he might be out at any time.

"One point! I want another point!"    "Two points! We must suppress them, absolutely!" The two sides faced each other tit for tat.

Omura did not expect that he would experience such an important match, and similarly, Morishita felt that he was just participating in a club activity. He did not expect to encounter such an exciting and exciting competition.

The eighth ball,

"Straight ball? No, slider!" Omura thought the ball was a straight ball, but when he was about to swing, he realized it was a slider and stopped immediately.

"Snapped!"

“Strike! Batter out!!!

Three outs, change of field! "

But the ball fell ruthlessly into the strike zone!

"Ah!!!" Morishita opened his arms and roared loudly at this moment! ! !

"Ah!!!" The players on the bench at Qinghe Stadium also roared together! ! !

"We can catch up, there are still two points left, we haven't lost yet!" Everyone roared with this will.

"Ha! These boys! But...this is baseball!"

The world of baseball never lacks blood and excitement. This is what makes baseball interesting.

"Damn it!" Omura whispered this word and turned around silently to leave.

"Don't mind! (It doesn't matter!) We are still ahead!" Everyone also comforted Omura.

"Change your mood! The game is still going on!"

"Hahaha! That's right! This is baseball! I really want to keep playing!" Sawamura said, looking at the pitcher's mound with shining eyes.

"In the last two games, everyone in the inner and outer fields stepped forward to defend!"

"Is it true?" Everyone laughed when they heard Xiandao's words. It was so exciting at first.

"The balls they hit don't fly far. If they can suddenly break through our defense, we will give up, otherwise we won't give them a point. How about it? It's exciting, isn't it?" Xiandao said with a smile.

"What's exciting or not? This is a bayonet fight!"

"That's right! Momentum is more important than anything else. This is a game of will. Baseball is all about psychology! Make them surrender! Go ahead!"

"Oh!!!"

In this highly tense situation, whichever side feels the pressure will lose. Xiandao uses this extreme method to create the strongest offensive. This extremeness inspires the fighting spirit of his partners, even if this Being strong cannot overwhelm the opponent's psychology. As long as your partners maintain their best condition and perform at a super level to finish the game, it is enough. When people are extremely excited, they will be at a super level like taking stimulants. Unless something happens, like a basin of cold water, this momentum will be extinguished.

Although Qinghe didn't know what happened, he still felt the determination of everyone in Chicheng Kingdom through this huge shout.

At this point in this practice match, no one wanted to lose, but with the presence of Coach Takei, Qinghe was not affected by the momentum. Instead, it stimulated the opponent's nerves even more, and the intensity of the match escalated again.

The score difference was only two points, and there were still two and a half innings left in the game.

Both sides are in unprecedented good shape, and no one knows what will happen until the last minute.

The outcome is only known when the referee announces the end.

　Is it my imagination? I feel more and more deserted. Finally, I would like to ask for various props on a daily basis and thank you for my first order. Thank you!

　　Finally, I would like to thank book friend Rong Chaichai for the reward of 200 starting coins, thank you!
