Chapter 29: Although I Don't Understand, It's Amazing!
Double kill!
One look, very smooth double play.
Fuqiu's first bat, who had hit the base first, was also eliminated at this time.
The scene was boiling, and the audience was pleasing to the eye.
In baseball, it's not just about home runs and strikeouts, it's also a pleasure to witness a great fielding.
The fans at the scene are like that.
They were very enthusiastic and gave encouragement to the friends of Qingdao High School baseball team. With applause, offered their respect and blessings.
In the rest area of Fuqiu High School.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly.
Although he had already expected that the game against the Qingdao High School baseball team would be difficult.
But he didn't want this situation to happen.
The players didn't seem to have much power to fight back at all. They just showed some performance, but they were immediately pushed down by their opponents.
You must know that the one standing on the mound now is not the world-famous Great Demon King.
Just a first-year rookie!
Even if he was a champion pitcher in the World Series, he hasn't had any outstanding performances in the high school field.
Belongs to the complete newcomer!
It is really depressing to be tricked by such a newcomer.
"Teach him a lesson!"
The middle-aged supervisor, who was upset in his heart, signaled their third stick.
Two innings with no one on base.
The third hitter of Fuqiu High School actually put on a bunt stance from the very beginning.
This is something that no one thought of before.
So after seeing it, they were all dumbfounded, and they didn't know what kind of expression they should show now?
"The game has just begun.
Are Fuqiu high school contestants crazy? "
Akiko Owada, a reporter for Baseball Kingdom Magazine, said in surprise.
It is said that after three days of farewell, Shibai is about to see each other with admiration.
This sentence is also very suitable for Owada Akiko.
As early as a year ago, when she had just joined Baseball Kingdom magazine.
She is still a baseball rookie who doesn't understand anything. Sometimes when I hear people talking about baseball, I have no idea what they are talking about?
At that time, it was hard for anyone to believe that this lady would become a great baseball professional in the future.
Of course, not many people can see this now.
But listening to her talk, it is difficult for ordinary people to treat her as an outsider.
In the case of two outs, it is very incredible to let the batter use bunt.
Not to mention that now that the game has just started, Fuqiu High School has no reason to do so.
By doing this, it gave people the feeling that they were obviously taking the pitcher of the Qingdao High School baseball team, and there was no other way.
This is only possible if you are not sure of hitting the opponent's ball.
Its purpose is to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, or to plan to win by surprise.
Did Wang Xi alone really push Fuqiu High School to that extent?
Ask yourself, Yamato Akiko really doesn't think so.
She never believed that the Qingdao High School baseball team was able to push the opponent to such a desperate situation.
But the reality is that the other party did just that.
Wang Xi on the mound did not change his approach because of the opponent's actions.
He commanded the defense of the Qingdao High School baseball team calmly, telling his friends where they should be.
After preparing everything, he opened his posture and shot the ball.
"Whoosh!"
The small white ball was like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into the opponent's heart.
The batter originally wanted to shake Wang Xi by bunting, but Wang Xi was not disturbed at all.
In desperation, he could only settle for the next best thing.
Put the bat in your hand back first, and then hit it out.
One advantage of spoofing is that it can block the opponent's pitching range.
In any case, as long as he puts on a bunt stance, it is impossible for the opponent to swing his arm at the bat.
In this way, the range of the opponent's pitching will be correspondingly reduced a lot.
Just aim down and swing!
With this in mind, the batter swung the bat in his hand fiercely at the flying white ball.
"Ping!"
He guessed right!
The white ball was aimed at the bottom of the strike zone and flew over.
And his bat just caught the trajectory of the white ball and sent the white ball flying.
The white ball that was hit flew far away!
Finally fell to the outfield!
And in the outfield, there were already people waiting there, waiting steadily for the baseball to drop.
"Snapped!"
"Out!!"
This outfield catch was also pleasing to the audience.
Unexpectedly, the offensive launched by Fuqiu High School would be dealt with by the Qingdao High School baseball team members so quickly.
Although the hitters got on the base for a while in the middle, they finally let them go up and down three times.
In terms of results, Wang Xi gave the Qingdao High School baseball team a good start.
"I didn't expect this first-year pitcher to perform so well."
Owada Akiko praised sincerely.
Compared with Kawakami in the first scene, it is very obvious that Wang Xi in front of him looks much more reliable.
He just joined the baseball team of Qingdao High School and is still a rookie in the first grade.
Wang Xi has such strength!
The potential of this child in the future is absolutely limitless.
Owada Akiko thought silently in her heart.
In fact, Akiko Owada didn't intend to say these words in the first place.
But she couldn't hide the words in her heart, so she said them unconsciously.
Hearing what she said, Fujio next to him glanced at his partner in surprise.
Seeing Yamato Akiko very uncomfortable.
"Senior, did I say something wrong?"
"The one who is really good is not the pitcher, but the catcher Miyuki, or should I say the Seido High baseball team!"
What Fujio said made Akiko Owada's brain boil.
She never thought that her senior would say such a thing, it's unbelievable!
"why?"
After watching baseball for a year, Akiko Owada thought she knew something about baseball.
But why the baseball world she saw was the same as the baseball world Fujio saw.
completely different?
Could it be that she watched a fake game?
Owada Akiko was very unconvinced by this, and directly raised her own question.
Since Fujio started, he didn't intend to hide it, but directly expressed his opinion.
"Is the number of outs due to the defense? Or the pitcher? This has always been a very difficult thing to judge. On the surface it seems easy to judge, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are many pitfalls in it. .”
"It doesn't mean that the defensive player must be credited for his beautiful defensive skills. It's not that the pitcher must be blamed if his ball is hit..."
Akiko Owada listened with question marks on his forehead.
She seemed to be able to understand every word Fujio said, but she couldn't think of any relationship between these words at all.
Once again, Owada truly realized that she was still far from the level of her predecessors.
At this time, she didn't even know what her senior wanted to express.
Looking at Akiko Owada like this, Fujio knew it very well. Tell her these theoretical things, and let her understand that these things are probably impossible.
At such times, the only feasible way is to give her practical examples.
"Just talk about the double kill just now and Gao Fei now!"
Sure enough, the topic was introduced here, and it successfully aroused the interest of Owada Akiko.
She really couldn't understand, whether it was the double kill just now, or Gao Fei this time...
"Let's talk about the double kill just now. This was designed from the beginning, and it was not improvised!"
Hearing this, Akiko Yamada couldn't believe it at first.
Then she thought carefully about what happened just now.
She had to admit that what Fujio said was probably true.
After careful consideration, you will find out. Wang Xi's shot seemed to be made on purpose, and he also deliberately moved out of position when defending.
Hand the ball to Kominato Haruichi to handle.
Kuramochi also ran back to second base early, so that he could cooperate with Haruichi Kominato and win a double play.
To say that all of this is a coincidence, seems really unreasonable.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
Since this incident is not a coincidence, the only reasonable explanation is premeditated.
It is naturally the director Miyuki who leads all of this.
As for the other contestants, although the same contribution cannot be denied, their roles are just actors.
Starring Wang Xi, assisted by two veteran actors, directed by Miyuki!
That's how they managed to win the double play by forcibly deceiving the players from Fuqiu High School.
"Since everything is designed, the biggest contributor of course belongs to the designer. In this process, although the other contestants performed very well, the director is the first!"
"There is one more detail that needs to be noticed here! That is, when Wang Xi saw the Xiaomin player behind him, he decisively gave up catching the ball and handed the ball to Xiaomin. From this point, in fact, It's not hard to come to a conclusion!"
Seido High's baseball team is strong!
There is a competitive relationship between their players, but at the same time they trust each other.
Wang Xi, as a champion pitcher in the World Series, how arrogant is he?
He didn't even need to interview Wang Xi, and put himself in Wang Xi's position.
Can I make such a choice myself?
I'm afraid it's a difficult thing.
It's so hard to trust someone.
"Besides, Gao Fei was also designed in advance."
...
What Fujio said had a great impact on Akiko Owada.
She originally thought that this ups and downs, not to mention that all the credit should be attributed to Wang Xi.
But Wang Xi, as a pitcher, at least has more than half of the credit.
But hearing what she said, she felt that she was thinking too much.
Wang Xi's role certainly exists, but it is definitely not as much as she imagined.
Baseball, of course, is not that simple.
In the second half of the inning, the Qingdao High School baseball team attacked.
For the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, they are already gearing up.
Can't wait to play!
"First bat, shortstop, Kuramochi!"
The first to stand on the strike zone is still the hard-core first batter of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Lord Cheetah, Yoichi Kuramochi.
His existence is very much like an engine for the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Once this engine is started, the offense of the Qingdao High School baseball team is bound to be fully fired.
If this engine hadn't started, the offense of Qingdao High School's baseball team would have been a bit weaker.
Today, the engine is ready to go.
His eyes were fixed on the mound.
He couldn't wait to see this little guy who could attract the attention of professional scouts.
...
