Chapter 144: Fierce Battle! (2 in 1)

Summer Koshien, 1/4 finals.

The match between the Nishitokyo Seido High School baseball team and the Nagano Xinglong High School baseball team is in full swing.

After the end of the 4th inning.

The score of the two sides is 3:2.

The friends of the Seido High School baseball team, while keeping their ace Sawamura Eijun.

Still firmly suppressed his opponent.

Although there were a few twists and turns in the process, judging from the final result.

Overall, it's pretty good.

They firmly grasp the initiative and take the lead.

In the eyes of Supervisor Kataoka and the entire coaching staff of the Seido High School baseball team, this kind of experience is only good for the young players of the Seido High School baseball team.

Perhaps it is because of the overpowering relationship of the big devil Sawamura Eijun, and the dependence of the boys on the Seido High baseball team on the big devil.

There has been a growing trend.

Basically as long as the team encounters difficulties, they will immediately think of Eijun Sawamura.

I thought that Sawamura Eijun could solve it.

This is not a big problem for the Qingdao High School baseball team itself.

After all, Eijun Sawamura was originally the spiritual leader and soul of the Seido High School baseball team.

If he doesn't stand up at the critical moment, who will stand up?

But this is not a good thing for the other players of Qingdao High School baseball team.

Too much dependence on a certain person, once there are accidents and problems with that person, or the performance is not good.

The whole team will be in trouble!

For other players, this situation is particularly serious.

People are lazy.

Once there is a dependency,

It is likely to lose initiative and the ability to actively deal with things.

When things really developed to that stage, it would be an extremely heavy loss for the entire Qingdao High School baseball team.

An experience like today's game.

For the entire team, especially for other players except Sawamura Eijun.

It's a very good experience!

Encountering a crisis will also make the players reflect.

Let them see their shortcomings and make up for them in the future.

Very good, very good!

Either in terms of process or in terms of results.

Director Kataoka was very satisfied.

From what he saw in front of him, this game was very helpful for the improvement of the entire team of Qingdao High School baseball team.

After winning this game, the semi-finals and finals after that, I believe the players will live up to his expectations.

This is not the most important thing, for Supervisor Kataoka, what makes him feel most gratified is.

The growth of the players themselves!

Especially the third grade players.

After they left the Qingdao High School baseball team, they will not disappoint people with such experience in the game.

They will definitely use their own way to prove to everyone that they have their own way of baseball.

The game continues.

The Qingdao High School baseball team, who scored a point in bunt, really wanted to use up all the luck they had accumulated in the next matchup.

Jiang Guxiao, Qianyuan...

Hitting high flying balls one after another, the white balls flew high and then fell down.

He was firmly held in his glove by the fielder of the Xinglong High School baseball team.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

"Snapped!!"

"Out!!"

This process is both clean and neat.

The two of them had little resistance and were eliminated by their opponents.

Three outs, exchange of offense and defense.

The game came to the 5th inning. In the first half of the 5th inning, Xinglong High School attacked.

The fourth inning was like a roller coaster ride for the Xinglong High School baseball team.

Most of the time, they didn't even have time to react, and they fell down from a high place.

They overtook Qingdao High School, and before they were happy, they were overtaken by Qingdao High School again.

This kind of experience, not the person involved, it is difficult to tell what clues.

Only those who have personally experienced it can truly understand what that feeling is like?

The contestants of Xinglong High School were still immersed in the roller coaster of emotions before, and had not completely calmed down.

At this time, they met Jiang Guxiao again.

To be honest, Jiang Guxiao at this time is not without flaws.

Compared with his perfect state at the beginning, Jiang Guxiao now inevitably gives people a feeling of being strong on the outside but capable on the inside.

It still looks great!

But if the batters can observe carefully and calmly, they will find that the current Jiang Guxiao is the same Jiang Guxiao when they first played against them.

It's like two different people.

The previous Jiang Guxiao was so strong that he was almost a foul.

That is the real gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and destroying Buddhas.

Really, no one can stop it!

But the current Jiang Guxiao is not like that at all.

Although the speed of the ball has not dropped much, the vitality attached to the pitch itself has not been left much.

As a result, the quality of pitching has dropped a lot.

With the strength of Xinglong University, if they can study it calmly.

It may not be impossible to discover the clues and flaws.

It's just a pity.

Jiang Guxiao was in trouble, and the players from Xinglong High School had no less trouble than him.

When their players faced Jiang Guxiao, they seemed to be scared out of their wits.

The state is extremely wrong.

Three times, five times and two divisions, all of them were out.

Among them, he also scored two strikeouts, bringing Jiang Guxiao's strikeout count to nearly 10.

Although this game allowed him to surpass Sawamura, it is somewhat difficult to win the strikeout record in a single game.

But there shouldn't be any problem in completing a record of his own.

Three outs, exchange of offense and defense.

Miyuki Kazuya, who returned to the rest area, didn't know what he should say now?

Let him praise Jiang Guxiao against his conscience, he really can't do it.

Judging from his own feelings, Jiang Guxiao's condition is really not good.

Even, even his usual state is not as good.

In this case, such remarkable results can be achieved.

Miyuki also can only sigh with emotion, the opponent's help.

Without the cooperation of the lower hitters from Xinglong High School, Jiang Guxiao would never have gone so smoothly and won the strikeout.

Miyuki couldn't do it without a conscience.

But to criticize, he felt a little inappropriate.

Two strikeouts, three hitters on the other side.

This performance, if not good enough.

These little friends really don't know what else they should be able to do?

Miyuki was also having a hard time for a while.

He finally opened his mouth and closed it again without saying anything.

there's always a solution to any problem.

Even if some things are said in advance, the effect may not be much better.

It might be better to wait until a crisis is really encountered, and the effect may be better.

The game came to the bottom half of the 5th inning, and the Seido High School baseball team attacked.

Today, the Qingdao High School baseball team has a very luxurious configuration of hitters.

It is the seventh shot to hit Baizhou, which is full of strength.

Followed by Tojo as the eighth pole.

Ninth bar.

Well, don't mind this.

Just the combination of these two people is enough to cause headaches.

The Qingdao High School baseball team has great confidence in these two teammates.

"Senior Baizhou!"

"Call out!!!"

In the last inning's offense, the boys from Qingdao High School's baseball team had already taken the initiative.

Qi Haiyao, who seemed to be in good shape, was also conquered by them.

In this case, they should really make persistent efforts to expand the score.

3:2!

The gap between the two sides is only one point.

Although from the point of view of the situation, the boys from Qingdao High School baseball team took the absolute initiative.

But to be honest, this score is not safe.

It doesn't need much, maybe one hit is enough to change the situation on the field.

In this case, the best way for the Qingdao High School baseball team to stabilize the situation is.

Expand the score!

One point is not guaranteed. In fact, if you lead by one point in a baseball game, the probability of being overturned is very high.

Almost thirty percent.

But two points is different. Once the gap reaches three points, it will be even more.

At that time, even if the players of Xinglong University want to make a comeback, it will not be an easy task.

Baizhou, who was the first to stand on the strike zone, put on a posture of being ready for battle.

Nanami Haruka on the mound looked expressionless.

He was very calm, assuming a throwing posture, and then threw the small white ball in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

Facing the flying baseball, Baizhou's response was not as cautious as before.

Obviously, the ball that Qi Haiyao threw was the way Baizhou wanted to hit.

In this case, he naturally has no reason to escape.

The bat in his hand roared out, facing the flying white ball, he slammed it hard.

"Ping!"

The bat hit the white ball, and the white ball was hit high.

Again, Goofy!

In the rest area of ​​Qingdao High School baseball team.

The atmosphere is very bad.

Before, Qianyuan and Jiang Guxiao were dealt with by such high-flying balls.

This made the friends of Qingdao High School baseball team very puzzled.

I don't know what kind of tricks the other party used to achieve this step?

It actually allows the hitter to hit so many high-flying balls.

On the second base of Xinglong High School, their second baseman opened his glove and confiscated the ball in his glove effortlessly.

"Out!"

Tojo, who played immediately after him, learned the lesson of Hakushu.

In addition, he himself is particularly good at dealing with pitchers like Qi Haiyao.

During the duel, it gave the Qingdao High School baseball team a great surprise.

"Ping!"

The white ball finally fell into the gap of the defense.

Before the Xinglong High School players could react, Tojo ran to first base logically.

One out, man on first base.

Except for the core Kominato, Sawamura, and Miyuki.

In the entire team, Tojo was the only player who contributed to the attack.

It's just a pity that his contribution didn't play a role.

It's over!

Kanamaru, the ninth bat, hit an infield bounce.

The baseball bounced straight into the glove of pitcher Nanami Haruka.

Qi Haiyao turned around and passed to second base, and the second baseman passed to first base.

"Out!"

"Out!!"

Double kill!

With the appearance of this double kill, the situation on the court also changed a lot.

The game has been played until the end of the five innings, and the score of the two sides is still 3:2.

Xinglong High School, who was suppressed by the Qingdao High School baseball team, was very tenacious.

During the game, he clung to the Qingdao High School baseball team tightly.

"I didn't expect it to be such a fierce battle!"

Akiko Owada in the stands was amazed at the game in front of her.

The performances of both sides were too wonderful, too fast.

It's dizzying.

Unexpectedly, without the big devil Sawamura on the mound, the two sides would fight so inextricably.

If it was before the game, when someone was being interviewed, they would say something like this.

I'm afraid they will all be ridiculed.

What is Xinglong University?

Although it has performed well in the past two years.

But that also depends on who you compare with.

Compared with the current strongest team in the country, Qingdao High School baseball.

They are nothing!

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a result in the end.

"The strength of Xinglong High School has always been very good. The Seido High School baseball team lost a lot after throwing away Sawamura. From this perspective, the two teams are almost evenly matched."

For Fujio, he was not at all surprised by the situation in front of him.

The strength of the two teams is very good.

It is really normal to be able to have such a performance.

The game came to the 6th game, and it was also the most critical game of this game.

As a result of their original confrontation, although the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team had a huge advantage, they wanted to completely solve the Xinglong High School baseball team.

It's not realistic either.

There is always no way to widen the gap!

On the contrary, it was Xinglong, because of their indomitable performance, the situation on the court began to tilt towards them.

In this case, the game came to the 6th inning.

This is a very critical moment for both teams.

Xinglong High School wants to find an opportunity to completely change the situation on the court.

Now their turn to play the line is the third round, which is naturally the best opportunity.

On the other hand, the Qingdao High School baseball team was also in this inning, and it was their turn to hit the line.

They also hope to open the score through this round of duel.

Throwing off Xinglong High School's pursuit completely, he won the game in one go.

Both teams are ambitious.

Waiting to launch an attack!

Xinglong High School was the first to launch the attack.

Their first stand on the strike zone was the first batter, Oda Honsen.

In the previous two duels, they lost to Xiao Tian of Jiang Guxiao.

So far, he has not shown the potential to hit the ball.

It's hard!

At least from the standpoint of the Qingdao High School baseball team, it might be very difficult for him to have the chance to really make that step.

Before the start of the 6th game, Miyuki specially told Kogu Akatsuki.

The significance of this game!

If Jiang Guxiao can perfectly solve the opponent in this round.

Then the Qingdao High School baseball team had to face the situation.

Relatively speaking, it will be much looser.

If Xinglong High School fails to perform in this round, the possibility of Jiang Guxiao casting the entire game will be greatly increased.

if not.

I'm afraid Kataoka Supervisor's replacement will not be as hesitant as before.

Excessive consumption of Sawamura Eijun's potential is of course not advisable.

But in just two or three innings, dozens of balls were thrown.

This difficulty is equivalent to a warm-up.

The burden on Eijun Sawamura's body is much smaller.

If the situation requires it, Kataoka Supervisor will not hesitate.

"You have to live up to it!"

...
