Chapter 71: West Tokyo Top 4
One game, nine points! !
The fans who came to see the match between Pharmacist High School and Xianquan Academy were dumbfounded at the result before them.
There was disbelief in their eyes.
Although during this period of time, the various performances of Pharmacist High School were indeed very strong.
Otherwise, it is impossible to disrupt the situation where the three giants in West Tokyo stand side by side, and they also entered the Spring Koshien and became the quarterfinals of the Spring Jia.
Many fans began to like Yaoshi High School, and began to like the seemingly unscrupulous Hong Leizang father and son.
They can not only provide the audience with jokes, but also present exciting games to the audience.
Especially Honglei City!
His carefree hitting style is very rare in the current high school baseball world. Some people even say that he is the strongest hitter of this era.
For various reasons, this statement is not widely accepted. After all, there are quite a few players with strong fighting skills across the country, and no one dares to say that Hulei City can beat others without a head-to-head confrontation.
Being able to get such a nomination proves the strength of Honglei City, which is no small matter.
Otherwise, he would not have sparked such a topic.
But no matter how optimistic the audience and fans are about Pharmacist High School, how much they recognize their strength. The audience never thought that the match between Yaoshi and Xianquan would achieve such a result.
It's incredible!
The opponent is not the kind of team that can be manipulated by others, but a traditional strong school in West Tokyo, a former semi-finalist, Xianquan.
Although Xianquan has never been able to advance to Jiaziyuan, their progress in the past few years has been recognized by the vast majority of people.
Everyone generally believes that Xianquan's strength is still very good, and can even be a benchmark for West Tokyo.
Unexpectedly, a team with such a strong strength could not even survive a game against Pharmacist High School.
Nine points were lost in the first game, and the situation on the field became 9:0.
How can I fight this?
Originally, the strength of Xianquan Academy was not as good as that of Pharmacist High School,
How did they catch up with such a big score gap at the beginning?
Those fans who originally supported Pharmacist High School now feel a little sympathetic to Xianquan Academy.
The progress of the next game was similar to everyone's expectations.
In the second inning, the substitute pitcher from Xianquan Academy broke out and took out the low hitter from Yakushi High School.
Although in the process, let a hitter hit the base.
But finally no points were lost.
On the other hand, Yakushi High School did not send their ace Sanada to the mound in the first two innings.
Instead, a malnourished-looking freshman was sent in.
The freshman seemed to have been hollowed out by alcohol, his eyes were full of dark circles, and he looked listless.
The contestants of Xianquan Academy were of course very angry, and vowed to make Yakushi High School look good.
Even underestimated their fairy spring.
I didn't expect that guy who seemed to like reading pornographic books and watching movies with two or three people.
After actually standing on the mound, it seemed like a different person immediately.
The formation of troops is quite organized, and the defense command of Pharmacist High School is orderly.
Both games completed the defensive task very smoothly without losing a single point.
In the next third game, the top hitters from Pharmacist High School re-entered the field.
These guys who looked like hungry wolves had no plans to let Xianquan replace the pitcher.
They all showed strength far beyond their peers. They scored two home runs alone and helped the team score a full three points in one go.
As a result, the score became 12:0.
It can be described as spring breeze.
Of course, the result of being too complacent is not very good. The complacent Pharmacist High School made a mistake in the next defensive process, and lost two points inadvertently.
The score became 12:2 again.
Although there was such a small accident, it did not affect the result of the entire game.
Under the bombardment of Pharmacist High School, the game ended early in five innings.
The score of the two sides is 15:2.
Serious Xianquan, even if he doesn't have the ace real wood, his defense is very methodical.
In four rounds, they only lost six points.
Facing Pharmacist High School, which has the most violent offensive power in the country, with a substitute pitcher, he scored such a performance.
Neither was their performance, totally indefensible.
But the nine points in the first round inevitably became the shame of Xianquan Academy.
1/4 finals, 15:2, five effective games.
Whether this is unprecedented in the history of West Tokyo is still unknown. But what is certain is that such an outcome must be very rare.
Xianquan Academy is destined to be crucified on the pillar of shame.
I believe that the next day's newspapers and various media, while boasting about the strength of Pharmacist High School, must not forget to ridicule them.
Because of the quick end of the battle, Pharmacist High School became the second team to advance to the semi-finals after Qingdao High School baseball team.
At the same time, on another court, another quarter-final also came to an end.
The two sides in this game are the third-year high school in the wealthy city of West Tokyo, and Cheng Kong Academy, which is known for its violent line-up.
Chengkong Academy's performance in this competition is very conspicuous.
Their second-year pitcher is already very mature, and he kills all directions with a single-handed screwball.
Coupled with the frenzy of playing lines, it gives people the feeling that their strength is unfathomable.
Although the giants performed very well and scored a lot, the team with the most points so far is still Cheng Kong.
Although they played one more game than the giants, this performance is still eye-catching.
The audience is looking forward to the match between Cheng Kong and the third high school of the city.
And this game is not the same as that of Pharmacist.
In the game of Pharmacist High School, although the opponent Xianquan Academy was also very good, it is a traditional strong school in West Tokyo.
But to be honest, the fans don't think that Xianquan is really capable of winning the victory from Pharmacist High School.
It can be said that it is reasonable for Xianquan to lose.
What really surprised everyone was that the Yaoshi High School baseball team could lead by so many points.
And it was a game that ended early in five innings.
In their original imagination, although Xianquan could not beat Pharmacist High School, it would definitely hinder Pharmacist High School to some extent.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like that.
This is where everyone was really surprised.
Kecheng Confucian Academy is different from the city junior high school in this competition.
The audience is really not sure, who will win this game?
When the game started, it was exactly as everyone imagined.
It was quite intense!
The trump cards of the two teams are firmly in control of the initiative of the game.
No one was able to lose points.
The two sides finished three rounds with a record of 0:0.
This is a fiery pitching battle, with the giants of the city's top three playing the line, and Cheng Kong Academy's violent line.
In the duel at the beginning of this game, he completely became the ear of the deaf, just a decoration.
What everyone saw was the performance of Tianjiu Guangsheng and Cheng Kong's sophomore pitcher.
The two of them fought extremely fiercely, and there was no winner.
In this way, the game came to the fourth inning.
The hitters of the city's third-ranked high-ranking giants were superior in their skills. They discovered the opponent's flaws first, and took advantage of the gap in the opponent's defense to score two points in one go.
The score became 2:0.
On the other hand, their ace Tianjiu also fully demonstrated their aptitude as a top pitcher in the country.
Using extremely tricky changeup balls, he kept scoring strikeouts.
Completely controlled the initiative of the game.
In the following games, the two sides fought each other for several rounds without giving in.
In the process of playing against each other, someone once hit the base bag.
But no team can turn this situation into a score.
They consume each other like this, to see who can't hold on first.
At the end of the five innings, the score was still 2:0.
The real change in the game came in the sixth inning!
In this round, Cheng Kong's second-year ace appeared injured. He accidentally touched his wrist because he stepped forward to catch the ball.
Although he himself stubbornly wanted to continue pitching, the doctor at the scene told him that he could no longer continue to pitch.
So Cheng Kong's trump card can only exit with regret.
As is often the case in high school baseball games, luck can sometimes become a part of strength.
From this point of view, the city's top three high schools are undoubtedly lucky.
It was not their trump card that was injured, but the opponent's trump card.
The ending of Chengkong Academy is naturally more tragic.
They had a little hope of rising just now, but they had to face the heavy result of the ace's withdrawal.
As soon as the ace exited, the gap immediately came out.
Lost two runs in the sixth and three runs in the seventh.
By the end of the seventh game, City University Sangao had already led Cheng Kong by a full seven points.
on the other hand.
Tianjiu was very dissatisfied with the exit of the opponent's ace.
He felt that this game was not played happily!
At this time, the supervisor of the third high school in the city took the initiative to find Tianjiu to release him.
"Never sympathize with your opponent, that is the biggest insult to your opponent. All the high school players who can stand on the court and play to the present are prepared to face any results. The greatest respect we can give to our opponents is to show Do your best."
As a hot-blooded boy in the second year of middle school, he is still weak.
Tianjiu was fooled by his supervisor.
In the ensuing pitches, he really went all out, scoring six strikeouts in a row.
In today's game, he won a full 13 strikeouts alone.
Tianjiu even thought that he had created the strikeout record in this competition.
After the game, I saw the strikeout data of Akira Furutani, the baseball team of Seido High School.
He is speechless again!
Those guys on Wangwang Qingdao High School's baseball team counted as one, and they were all monsters.
Even if the ace pitcher Eijun Sawamura did not play, they could still kill their opponents in seconds with a substitute Akira Furutani.
By the way, it can also set a record for strikeouts in this competition.
His 13 strikeouts are nothing compared to that.
The Seido High School baseball team also ended early in seven innings.
But Jiang Guxiao had more strikeouts than him.
In this way, the top four in West Tokyo came out one after another.
They are the Kings Qingdao High School baseball team.
Up-and-coming Super Dark Horse Pharmacist High School baseball team.
And the baseball team of the city's junior high school, which is ready to pull down the Wangwang Qingdao High School baseball team.
The last 1/4 finals will also determine the final semi-finals of West Tokyo.
The two sides of the game are the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team and their opponents. They have passed all the way and reached the quarterfinals of the Ximo High School baseball team.
Although the game was played last and not over yet, the audience had no doubts about the result.
The one who can win this game must be the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.
If there is any doubt about this game, it is that this game does not know how many innings it will end?
Is it going to be a full nine innings, or is the seven innings over early?
Or, it ended earlier.
