Chapter 72: 3 Strikes, 3 Strikes Again
"The information prepared before now seems to be unusable."
There was disappointment in Ochiai's eyes.
In fact, ever since the Jinzunong High School baseball team beat Qingzhengsha, the Qingdao High School baseball team has already started preparing for the match against the opponent in front of them.
Facing such a sudden opponent, the Qingdao High School baseball team has much more experience than the players of the Jinzunong High School baseball team. Before the game, they not only collected the video footage of the Jinzunong High School baseball team in Koshien in detail, but even investigated their performance in the regional competition.
After reading the opponent's game data, even Supervisor Kataoka and Ochiai had to feel that this opponent is really troublesome.
Their strength itself has reached the level of a wealthy family.
But he didn't have any reputation at all before, so he was caught by surprise during the regional competition, passed all the way, and advanced smoothly.
Even the strongest wealthy school in the area did not form any effective resistance to them.
It was the same when I arrived at Koshien. The journey went smoothly, as if it was a matter of course, and he appeared in front of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Even Qingzhengshe, one of the giants, failed to force out the opponent's real cards when facing this opponent.
That's why Ochiai was annoyed.
You said that Qingzhengshe is also a wealthy family, how can it not have such strength?
In such a fierce game against others, he couldn't get a single hit.
Even gave up 17 hits.
Even if it is trash, this is trash, too trash!
Originally, the coaching staff of the Qingdao High School baseball team thought that since the opponent had already played against a giant like Qingzhengshe, they must have shown all their cards in that game, but they didn't realize until today's game I really underestimated the opponent in front of me a little bit before.
That's not accurate either.
They didn't underestimate the opponent in front of them, but they overestimated Zhengshe's ability.
think anyway,
Qingzheng Society is also one of the top powerhouses in the country. It's nothing more than losing the game, it's impossible to find out what kind of hole cards the opponent has, right?
If that's the case, wouldn't Qingzheng Society be removed from the top teams?
In fact, it's pretty much the same.
Although Qingzhengshe is still in the ranks of the top teams with a shameless face.
But compared with those real top teams, the gap between their strength is already obvious.
It can even be said that it is not a team of the same level at all.
When the Qingdao High School baseball team prepared the materials before, it used the game between Jinzunong and Qingzhengshe as a reference.
At that time, the friends of the baseball team of Qingdao High School believed in it with all their hearts.
The players of the Jinzunong High School baseball team have squeezed out all the potential in their bodies when facing the top giants in the country. That's why they were able to beat Qingzhengshe 4:0 in that game.
But now, that's not the case at all.
The players of the Qingdao High School baseball team suddenly discovered that in the previous game, Jin Zunong hadn't tried his best at all. They only played a part of their strength and easily defeated Qingzhengshe.
This is not good news, especially for the boys on the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Nobody did their best!
The Qingdao High School baseball team used the data of that game as a reference.
It's a joke.
It's not like Qingdou hadn't considered this possibility before, thinking that the pitcher might be hiding a tiebreaker.
Although the friends don't think that the other party still has that kind of energy.
If Jinzu Nong has hidden strength, why didn't he show it in the match against Qingzhengshe?
You must know that although they won that game, judging from the results, they still crushed and won.
But in fact, their game was not all smooth sailing.
During the game, there were also many twists and turns.
Especially at the beginning of the competition, when they participated in the Koshien competition for the first time, they were still a little nervous, and even had a little crisis.
It was not used at that time, so what cards could there be?
Although I think so in my heart, the players of Qingdao High School baseball team will not be limited by their imagination.
They can still come up with various hypotheses, which is also a kind of thought exercise.
At that time, the friends of Qingdao High School baseball team had such an idea. If it is said that the other party has hidden strength, in what direction might it be hiding it? After much deliberation, the only reasonable and possible existence is probably only Yoshida.
After all, the strength of this guy was unknown at the time.
Maybe he's hiding a changeup or two.
After this hypothesis was put forward, the Qingdao High School baseball team also specially studied tactics in response to this hypothesis.
Even if he has a hidden lore, it should not be the type that can be used for a long time.
It is useless when playing against the Qing Zhengshe, and it will not be used easily when playing against them.
In this way, there is no difference for ordinary players.
Just aim the ball the way they were aiming before.
Sawamura and Miyuki who may be used by the opponent with a lore shot.
Just don't worry about it.
The Qingdao High School baseball team is 10,000% assured of the strength of these two players.
Even if the opponent really has some lore shot, just use it once or twice.
If it is used for a long time, it will definitely be cracked.
For this, the coaching staff is still very confident.
Not only the opponents, but also prepared for this game.
The players of Qingdao High School baseball team also prepared a lot for this game.
It's just that it seems that their preparations have not had the desired effect.
They didn't think of the lore ball that they thought would never be used lightly.
Koki Yoshida used it on Kuramochi and Miyuki one after another!
In other words, there is not much restriction on pitching with this kind of pitch.
It is a conventional weapon that can be used for a long time.
In this way, the attack tactics prepared by the Qingdao High School baseball team before were equivalent to being cracked.
If the opponent takes this kind of ball as a regular ball, then this kind of ball will not be solved.
The boys on the Seido High School baseball team had a hard time getting hits.
How can you score when you can't even get a hit?
In the first half of the second inning, the three hitters of the Seido High School baseball team went up and down three times.
Two were struck out and one went high.
The super ace Yoshida of Jinzunong High School has shown unparalleled pitching ability.
The Qingdao High School baseball team, which was originally full of momentum, was severely sniped.
Up to now, he can only go on the field honestly to defend.
In the second half of the second inning, it was the Jinzunong High School baseball team's turn to attack.
The first hitter to stand on the strike zone is the ace Yoshida of the Jinzunong High School baseball team.
He is not only the team's ace pitcher, but also the team's strongest hitter.
In the previous two games, he scored countless hits.
This is also an opponent that should not be underestimated, even Sawamura Eijun did not dare to be too careless.
In the previous two games, Yoshida was in the strike zone 11 times and scored a full 10 hits.
Although I couldn't hit a home run in the end, it was somewhat regrettable.
But he scored a full 6 outfield hits and 4 infield hits.
Its attack strength is sturdy, and it is also second to none in the whole country.
At least.
As far as this Koshien is concerned, no one has surpassed him in hits.
Against such an opponent, even Sawamura Eijun did not dare to relax too much.
After communicating silently with Miyuki, he opened his posture and prepared to throw the ball.
Yoshida was also looking at Sawamura.
Kouki Yoshida is the spiritual leader of the baseball team of Jinzunong High School. His performance directly affects the attitude of the friends towards Eijun Sawamura.
In this case, the burden on Yoshida is very heavy.
He can't get out of the game easily, it is best to use his strength to hit Eijun Sawamura's ball.
It doesn't matter if you can't get hits for a while.
At least he has to touch the ball.
Use practical actions to tell the little friends behind me that even Sawamura is not a real demon.
They have absolutely no reason to be afraid.
At least hit the ball first! On this basis, if you can hit the ball out of the way and get a hit.
That would be even more perfect!
With this in mind, Yoshida stared at Sawamura on the mound with his eyes wide open.
Yoshida was ready to swing at the slightest move on his part.
His positive attitude successfully attracted Miyuki Kazuya's attention.
The guy is very promising.
After seeing Sawamura Eijun's pitching, the opponent still has such courage and confidence.
Miyuki didn't know whether he should admire the other party's courage, or be amazed that they were not afraid of death.
It doesn't matter, for them, it is a dream for their opponents to swing actively.
come on!
Miyuki played the signal for the change ball.
He's about to unlock Eijun Sawamura's change ball.
Sawamura Eijun was addicted to throwing straight balls before.
Suddenly asked him to change back to the change ball, but he was still not very willing.
But there is no way, this is the opinion of my partner.
From the point of view of ball distribution, even Sawamura Eijun has more experience than Miyuki.
He is actually not as good as Miyuki.
Since Miyuki gave such a suggestion, he has nothing to say.
He opened his posture and threw the baseball in his hand fiercely.
"Whoosh!"
The white ball roared towards him, and it came to Yoshida in the blink of an eye.
Yoshida had originally made up his mind that as long as the ball was good, he would swing.
Now the whole person is in the strike zone.
His stunned expression was in stark contrast to his previous positive attitude.
Miyuki secretly laughed!
Does Jinzunong High School have any other advantages? He couldn't tell.
But there is one thing, he understands now.
The Jinzunong High School baseball team is very good, at least they think well.
But the actual ability is not the case at all.
I was too cautious myself.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the opponent is just watching Sawamura Eijun's pitch for the first time.
How could he hit it?
Not to mention the changes that come with baseball, just the weird pitching posture is enough to make the opponent drink a pot.
Because I can't see the point where the ball is released, from the strike zone, Eijun Sawamura's ball speed is frighteningly fast.
"Three strikes!"
"strike out!!"
"strike out!!!!"
Including Yoshida, the hitters who played in the second inning of the Jinzunong High School baseball team were also out.
In the process of being out, many of them didn't react at all. What happened on the court?
Eijun Sawamura had six strikeouts in a row.
After the game reached the third inning, the Seido High School baseball team quickly dropped a single out.
Let Jinmaru, the ninth bat, go against Yoshida of the Jinzunon High School baseball team.
Some are too hard for him!
Three strikes, three strikes again.
