Chapter 62: Taking Control of the Game
"Let's play!"
Such a good opportunity in the fifth game, but failed to score.
This must have hurt the Seido High baseball team. This is how it is in a game, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
Although the Qingdao High School baseball team is still ahead of the opponent by a full four points. But just now they completed a wonderful defense, and their momentum soared all of a sudden.
Although it was not enough to overwhelm the limelight of Qingdao High School's baseball team, it definitely had some impact.
Originally, Qingdao had the upper hand, but since they won the wonderful defense, the two sides did not say that they were fighting each other in terms of momentum. At least Qingdao High School's advantage was not so obvious.
A good performance will give players confidence.
This is the case with You Liang's comprehensive players. Relying on their excellent performance before, they now look like a rainbow.
Originally, the audience thought that You Liang had already given up the game, and the score was four points short.
You Liang's comprehensive momentum is not strong either.
It is completely impossible to see that they have any chance and hope to fight back.
But it's different now. With the wonderful performance just now, You Liang's comprehensive player has once again shaken his prestige.
Although the scores were not close, their aura soared, and they looked no worse than Qingdao High School at all.
Although the audience still don't think they have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
But I have to admit that they do have the qualifications to compete with Qingdao.
"Do you know your responsibilities now?"
Before entering the field to defend, Sawamura and Akatsuki Yugu stopped him.
I want to have a good communication with him.
"Solve all opponents and get the number of outs."
In the end, I didn't expect the answer given by others to be more accurate than the standard answer.
"Then let's get started!"
Thus,
Miyuki and Sawamura Eijun stopped talking nonsense.
What Jiang Guxiao said is not wrong, for them now, the most important task is to get the number of eliminations cleanly.
As a pitcher on the team, as long as he stands on the mound, he must bear certain responsibilities.
It's like now, because of Youliang... Comprehensive's excellent defense, their players have rekindled their ambitions.
At the same time, the players of Seidou High School's baseball team were somewhat stimulated.
This is the current situation.
As the pitcher standing on the mound now, Jiang Guxiao is wearing the uniform of Qingdao High School, so he has the responsibility and obligation to suppress the opponent's momentum.
They cannot be given any chance of resurgence.
This is also the responsibility of the trump card!
If Jiang Guxiao can do this, there is no doubt that he will go one step further.
Originally, Miyuki and Sawamura Eijun planned to explain the pros and cons to Furutani Akatsuki and teach him how to control the game.
But judging by his posture, the young man wouldn't listen at all.
Fortunately, all changes remain the same. Although he doesn't understand the reason behind it, he knows how to do it.
Know how to do it!
For Jiang Guxiao, neither of them dared to have too high expectations.
If they can do this, they are already very content.
The competition restarted, and You Liang's comprehensive player, really unwilling to be lonely, made another moth.
They took the lead on the ninth bat, trembling all over, and put on a bunt stance.
If possible, he would not want to do it.
Jiang Guxiao's ball speed is too scary!
Even standing in the normal strike position, he was trembling with fright. Not to mention this bunt stance.
But Director Sakaki in the rest area put on an appearance that I like you.
There is no way for him to refuse.
"No one out! No one on base! What a bunt in this situation."
Someone in the audience couldn't help asking in doubt.
Someone next to him immediately answered: "Under normal circumstances, no team would do this. But You Liang, since they did this, it can also be seen how much pressure the pitchers put on them!"
As long as there is even an iota of confidence that hitters can hit Furugu's ball, they can't do it.
It is precisely because they have no confidence at all that they use this method to disrupt Jiang Guxiao's rhythm.
Miyuki, who is the catcher, is amazed at what Youliang Comprehensive High School did.
They did study Qingdao High School thoroughly, even Jiang Guxiao, who was a backup pitcher, was thoroughly studied by them.
If Jiang Guxiao encountered such a challenge half a year ago, he would have scratched his head.
But now, he is no longer what he used to be!
Qingdao High School has improved, not only the big devil Sawamura, but everyone else has actually grown.
It's just that some people grow more, and some people grow less conspicuously.
Jiang Guxiao is naturally the same.
It's time to show off the results of your hard work!
Seeing Miyuki's signal to himself, Akira Furutani nodded slightly, and then threw the ball.
"boom!"
This guy's pitching looks forever enviable.
The speed is scary, and the quality of the ball itself is also high.
The hitter trembles to touch the ball with his bat.
In fact, he just bit the bullet and did it like this, and he didn't expect to actually meet it.
"Ping!"
Unexpectedly, he really touched it, but the baseball bounced immediately after touching his bat.
The rebound went towards Jiang Guxiao.
The Qingdao High School baseball team's hard training on weekdays finally began to show results at this time.
Jiang Guxiao caught the ball and passed it to the front yard of first base.
"Snapped!"
"Out!!"
So without any suspense, the ninth batter was out.
Returning to the ninth bat in the rest area, he was immediately paralyzed.
Thinking of Jiang Guxiao's incomparably quick pitching, he really wanted to die.
Why can't I think about it so much, after listening to the supervisor's fooling me.
Where is that kind of ball that ordinary people can hit?
Isn't this a joke?
Qingdao successfully won the first out, and You Liang's comprehensive goal was also achieved. They successfully destroyed Jiang Guxiao's pitching rhythm.
Didn't let him continue to score strikeouts.
For this result, Supervisor Sakaki is quite satisfied.
He originally wanted to try again and see if he could get another hit.
But unfortunately, this idea is doomed to come to naught.
Jiang Guxiao, whose rhythm has been destroyed, has not weakened the power of pitching at all, but seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
"Ping!"
The first hitter, Bai Lai, hit the ball, and the ball bounced directly to first base.
Qianyuan blocked the ball effortlessly.
Mae Hwan, who missed a home run, felt worse than anyone else.
This kind of him is especially hard-working when defending.
God was more kind, the ball flew to him and was stopped by him.
Two outs, no hits.
The last number of outs, Jiang Guxiao's win was more brutal.
He directly struck out his opponent and completely established a strong position.
"strike out!"
Three outs, exchange of offense and defense.
In Youliang's comprehensive rest area, the excitement in Dongshan's heart has not yet been fully released.
He is bragging to the friends around him.
Before he could blow a few words, the offense and defense were switched!
"Why so fast!"
Dongshan muttered in dissatisfaction.
His words were a wake-up call to Supervisor Sakaki.
Although he successfully broke Jiang Guxiao's strikeout rhythm.
But it didn't completely destroy Xiang Guxiao's pitching rhythm.
The opponent's rhythm is still very fast, and firmly grasp the initiative.
Unknowingly, Youliang Comprehensive High School has been led by Qingdao.
Eijiro Sakaki, who discovered this, couldn't be happier anyway.
Even in the second half of the sixth inning, Higashiyama successfully let the bottom hitter of the Seido High baseball team go up and down three times.
There was no smile on Director Sakaki's face.
He realized that the game was developing in an unpredictable direction.
As for You Liang's comprehensive players, they still don't know anything about it.
On the contrary, the players of Qingdao High School's baseball team showed an incomparably adaptable appearance to this sudden fast-paced transition.
At this time, Supervisor Sakaki couldn't help but think of Eijun Sawamura.
Qingdao High School baseball team should adapt to this rhythm, because it is in their team.
Some people eat by this rhythm.
