Chapter 45: The Flying Bat

Taniyama is under a lot of pressure!

After throwing less than three innings, he sweated as much as he did during the entire game when he played the regional game.

Although he looks big and thick, he is actually a very careful person.

He noticed this detail a long time ago, but he kept silent about it. As the captain and ace of the team, he has his own concerns.

He was afraid that once he spoke out about his lack of energy, the whole team would collapse.

The team finally made it to Koshien. This is the wish and dream of the team, the school, and all teammates.

He doesn't want to drag down the dreams of all his partners because of his own problems.

No points were dropped in the previous two innings.

Even though his body was already feeling exhausted, he was silently persuading himself.

Those who can hold on must be able to hold on!

It's just a game.

As long as you do your best, you will definitely be able to survive until the last moment of the game.

Tenacious will sustains him, and it also sustains his pitching.

Even though the pace of the game was much faster than he had imagined, he persisted tenaciously and barely kept up with Qingdao's pace.

Because the main force did not play, the hearts of the Qingdao friends who saw this scene couldn't help but sink slightly.

Once the opponent catches up with the rhythm of his side, it may take a lot of effort to solve them.

After watching the last game, I don't know what Supervisor Kataoka thinks? Temporarily adjusted the team's lineup.

So much so that the freshmen and substitutes, who were completely unprepared, just stood on the court.

Although at the beginning, relying on the skills honed by the players' hard training and strong personal strength.

The Qingdao High School baseball team has a slight advantage.

But it is not so easy to completely defeat the opponent.

In order to achieve this, the friends of Qingdao High School baseball team must put in some effort to make it possible.

This is the process that the game should have, but the appearance of Wang Xi broke this process.

To be honest, although these substitutes of Qingdao High School baseball team are not weak.

But compared with Xiangyang High School, its strengths are limited.

At least it's not the kind of gap between latitude and longitude.

To put it bluntly, with his strength, he played a game against the friends of Qingdao High School baseball team. They are fully qualified and have the strength to do so.

If it is said that during the game, Supervisor Kataoka did not replace the main players.

Then this game is likely to be deadlocked for a long time before the winner can be determined.

After all, this is only the first game of Xiangyang High School, and each of their players has a terrifying amount of physical strength.

It is not so easy to drag someone to death with physical strength.

However, just when the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team began to accept this, another accident happened on the field.

The first-year rookie Wang Xi took the lead in scoring a clean double base slam.

No one out, man on second base.

At this time, it was Kijima's turn to strike second.

Director Kataoka's substitutions were thorough, and all the players who could be the core players in the Seido High School baseball team were replaced. Naturally, this also includes their main second baseman, Haruichi Kominato.

And the player who replaced Kominato Haruichi was Kijima in front of him.

With the head of a monk, his figure is not burly, and even a little slender.

In terms of height, Kijima has no advantage even if he is standing with Haruichi Kominato.

To be honest, he didn't have a strong sense of presence in Qingdao High School's baseball team.

But when Qing Dao was choosing first-team players, if he was able to stay in the big waves, his strength must be beyond doubt.

Being able to stay in this position must have corresponding strength.

Kijima also realized that this was a very, very important opportunity for the Seido High School baseball team.

It would be a pity if they didn't catch it!

In order not to regret it later, he adopted a rather conservative tactic.

After two strikes, he hit the ball out of bounds over and over again, trying to pick four strikes.

Kijima thought about this matter very clearly.

If his tactics can be successful, then of course it couldn't be more perfect.

Even if it does not succeed in the end, it will not have much impact on the overall situation.

The sweat on the opponent's face couldn't stop.

Although it is the weather in August, it is so hot.

But the game has only just started two or three innings, and the pitcher has already wiped his sweat five or six times.

It's not normal.

Although it is not clear what the specific reason is?

But there is one thing, Kijima is very clear in his heart.

That is the opponent's physical strength, which must have reached a very dangerous critical value.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be sweating so much.

After making this judgment, Kijima keenly realized that if he continued to entangle with the other party.

Even if the four bad guys are not selected in the end, overall, it is very beneficial to the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Realizing this, he made a quick decision.

Choose to continue to entangle, and finally hit the ball one after another.

"Bad ball!"

"The outside world!"

"Bad ball!!"

...

The two entangled with 13 balls, and finally Kijima successfully picked four balls and was walked to base.

The blow that Wang Xi gave them was already heavy enough.

Now with the selection of the four bad players this time, the situation facing Xiangyang and the others is even worse.

No one out, man on first and second base.

In the rest area of ​​Xiangyang High School.

They have not been supervised with any sense of presence. At this time, they finally couldn't sit still, and they stood up and called a timeout.

After calling a timeout, he specifically ordered a young player to go to the court to spread the word.

After the game restarted, Xiangyang High School made targeted adjustments.

Ono was walked on the third bat, and the situation became a full base.

Xiangyang High School had already made up its mind at this time, to confront Masaki Yuki head-on behind Ono.

Unlike the Qingdao High School baseball team, they don't know anything about others.

Although Xiangyang High School did not regard the Qingdao High School baseball team as its first imaginary enemy from the beginning to the end.

But the reputation of the Qingdao High School baseball team is really too great!

So much so that before the game, the players of the Xiangyang High School baseball team collected enough information.

This information is very detailed, not to mention the main players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, they even have records of the team's unique substitute players.

For example, the fourth club, Yuuki!

Among the first-year players in the Qingdao High School baseball team, Yuuki's presence is very dazzling, and he scored the most home runs.

For the Qingdao High School baseball team that lacks strong hitters, this is a scarce talent like a pie in the sky.

For such a player, Xiangyang and the others naturally did not study.

Yuki Shoji has a strong strike force and a very good swing. He can force the ball out without hitting the center of the ball.

These are the advantages of Yuki Shoji.

Accompanied by these advantages, there are also some small flaws inherent in Yuki.

For example, his attack accuracy is not enough!

Often swinging the bat and falling short...

Gu Shan handles the ball well, and can change the ball very sharply.

It is perfect for dealing with such a general Yuki.
