Chapter 223: Stealing the Ball!
Not to mention the players, even the referee was stunned for a while before he figured out the reason.
Then he announced.
"Out!"
Of course, let him make a decision so quickly. Kuramochi's open glove and the small white ball in his glove are indispensable.
Until now, most of the players on the scene finally understood what was going on with this coquettish operation?
In the rest area of Qingdao High School baseball team.
All the friends in the first grade were full of admiration.
They were really amazed by Sawamura and Kuramochi.
Looking at Eijun Sawamura's posture just now, he is about to throw the ball.
At that time, almost everyone was paying attention to what kind of ball the big devil Sawamura Eijun would throw in this crisis situation?
Who would have imagined that Eijun Sawamura didn't even have a ball in his hand at that time. They made up their minds from the very beginning and used the ball hiding tactic to deal with Miyuki on second base.
This thing looks simple, but it is very difficult in practice.
Don't forget, Miyuki is also the captain of Seido High's baseball team. No one knows more about Qingdao High School baseball team than he does.
To put it bluntly, these players who are now fighting against the Tokyo Stars are Miyuki Kazuya's closest comrades in arms.
They wanted to play tricks in front of Miyuki, but it was not easy at all.
As long as any cooperative player shows a slight flaw, it will arouse Miyuki's vigilance.
It turned out not, not at all.
During this process, none of the contestants showed any flaws.
Miyuki is also thinking about this matter, based on his understanding of these guys, not all of them are so scheming.
If Sawamura Eijun's plan had been discussed in advance by them, then there would definitely be flaws.
Since no flaws are seen now,
That means that this matter was not discussed in advance.
It was decided temporarily, and most of the players did not know it.
Only Sawamura and Kuramochi really know about this strategy.
Miyuki is indeed the captain of Qingdao, and this matter really made him guess.
This strategy was thought up by Sawamura temporarily, and he didn't tell anyone else.
It's just that when everyone dispersed, they suddenly touched Kuramochi.
Kuramo felt that there was something extra in his glove.
Who is Kuramo?
If it is covered with hair, it is more refined than a monkey. He still can't figure out what Sawamura Eijun wants to do?
And this guy is still a showman. After getting the ball, he pretended to be nonchalant and returned to the shortstop position.
Afraid that Miyuki would see through their plot, Sawamura Eijun even deliberately pulled the catcher to speak.
This virtually gave the players of the Tokyo Stars a strong psychological hint.
This psychological implication is that Sawamura Eijun intends to deal with the opponent in a dignified manner next, because the ball he is going to throw is of a high level, so he specifically confirmed with the first-year catcher.
What exactly did they say on the mound? It is naturally impossible for the people who eat melons to know.
But this does not prevent them from making such brain supplements.
And they take it for granted that their guesses are accurate. Sawamura Eijun at this time must have thought so, and would definitely do so.
Based on their understanding of the Great Demon King, it was reasonable for Sawamura Eijun to make such a move.
In this way, Sawamura Eijun and Kuramochi cooperated to build the plank road in the open and keep the warehouse in the dark.
While attracting the attention of the Tokyo Stars, the other side is also ready for both hands.
Not only did he fool other people, but also Miyuki Kazuya.
After Sawamura Eijun put on a stance, Miyuki impulsively wanted to steal the base directly.
The result was reversed.
In the rest area of Qingdao.
The friends are full of praise for the performance of the players on the field.
Of course, not everyone understands what happened?
Chen Ping looked blankly at the cheery teammates around him, listening to their praise of Sawamura Eijun and Kuramochi-senpai.
A very huge question in my heart just rose up inexplicably.
What exactly happened just now?
Why is the opponent out?
And these guys in front of me, why are they so happy?
He doesn't understand, really doesn't understand.
When Chen Ping raised this question, Yujing Xun, who had nothing to do, was taken aback.
If Chen Ping hadn't raised this question himself, he would have almost forgotten that there is still a layman in this team.
"The tactic just now is called hiding the ball. Because the risk is extremely high, most people would not use it. Especially in the current situation, if the opponent sees it through, the consequences may be very serious."
"I see. It's because Kuramochi-senpai bumped into Miyuki-senpai with a baseball, so he was tagged out."
"That's right!"
"Then why are you all so surprised?"
"It's mainly because Sawamura-senpai's choice was beyond everyone's original expectations. At first, everyone felt that he would definitely fight head-on. Didn't expect him to play such a move?"
"Isn't it natural to do the opposite?"
Chen Ping's inadvertent sentence pierced Sawamura Eijun's mind.
He used tactics just because he saw that the opponent had already made careful preparations.
Since winning by surprise, it must make the other party unexpected.
So even though the risk was high, Sawamura still used this tactic without hesitation.
From the results alone, he should have done quite well.
It's just that the risks involved cannot be summed up in a few words.
The game continues.
After the sixth inning, the game officially started. In the second half, the Qingdao High School baseball team attacked in the first half of the seventh inning.
The hitters who played in the middle and upper ranks before have already finished their fights.
Now it's the turn of their lower hitters to attack.
The first to hit the strike zone was Okumura, and he replaced not only the catcher's position of I Kaoru.
At the same time, he also took over Yujing Kaoru's strike position.
Playing at this time, as it should be.
After standing on the strike zone, Okumura glanced at the scoreboard with concern.
The score above was 5:4, and the Qingdao High School baseball team had only one point left to lead.
The young man thinks that the game has just reached the seventh inning, and this score is not safe.
If possible, he hopes to solve the problems for Eijun Sawamura.
It is best to be able to hit the ball and recover a point smoothly.
Not much, just one point is enough.
Okumura had a vague premonition in his heart, if he could hit the ball at this time, he would help the team score a point smoothly.
Then he felt that they should be able to win this game.
Senior Sawamura is still strong, and he still has so many wonderful ideas.
No matter how capable these guys of the Tokyo Star Team are, Okumura doesn't believe that they can be completely unaffected.
The gap of two points is enough to push them into a desperate situation.
At that point, the more flustered these players on the Tokyo Stars are, the better things will be for them.
Thinking of this, Okumura raised the corners of his lips unkindly.
Even though he was cool by nature, he was extremely excited at this moment.
If he can hit the ball here, he will definitely win the favor of Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai.
Okumura thought well.
If he can really prove himself with performance in such a game.
To put it bluntly, his position will be more consolidated.
Really wait until one day Miyuki leaves the team, he will also become the most powerful contender for the No. 2 catcher position.
However, in the next scene, Okumura was severely slapped in the face.
When he saw the ball thrown by Narimiya Ming, Okumura knew that he had thought too much before.
Such a ball, let alone he hit it beautifully.
It is already extremely difficult to be able to meet it.
To put it bluntly, he couldn't even touch the ball.
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!!"
"nice shot!!!"
"strike out!!!"
Not only Okumura, but the two hitters who played later, Kanamaru and Aso, also didn't get any benefits.
Got knocked out by three strikeouts!
