Chapter 169: Great Demon King, Debut! (2 in 1)
"Out!"
From the perspective of the spectators outside the field, the small white ball returned to first base almost at the same time as Kuramochi.
Looking at the past from their point of view, it is even difficult to tell which of the two is earlier?
But standing at the position of the first base lineman, it is not difficult to distinguish this matter.
The baseball was clearly one step faster than Kuramochi, reaching the player's glove.
Kuramochi is out without any doubts.
Even so, the lineman at first base still feels very incredible.
At that time, the third baseman jumped to the position of the ball, almost thirty meters away from them.
If the contestants are standing, this is not a difficult task!
But when he just threw the ball, he passed the ball back so quickly and accurately in a half-squatting awkward position.
This is the first time he has seen it in real life!
In the past, I have only seen professional players perform like this in the highlights of professional baseball games.
This is the first time to see a real person and make such an action.
Yuda.
Originally the first baseman of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, the strongest hitter, and the fourth bat.
Going to third base now.
Unexpectedly, the performance was not inferior at all.
Despite a third base fielding, there are some similarities.
But he was able to perform so well that it didn't look like he was fielding third base for the first time.
Could it be that before, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team had targeted their own lineup.
Did you do a lot of practice and adjustments?
In the rest area of Qingdao High School baseball team.
Everyone was a bit at a loss about the performance of their opponents.
Osaka Kiryu High School Baseball Team,
It really turned into a team they were completely unfamiliar with.
In the past, although the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team could feel that they were very strong.
But the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team have always believed that it is not too difficult to solve their opponents with their strength.
This should be an easy thing to do.
As long as they show their true strength and want to eliminate the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, isn't it just minutes?
But now it seems that things are not that simple.
"I used to hear people say that an excellent pitcher can bring about tremendous changes to the team. I still have some doubts, but now it seems that this statement may be true."
In the stands, a fan of the baseball team of Qingdao High School said with emotion.
He didn't lose a game of the Qingdao High School baseball team's game at Koshien, and watched them all.
It is precisely because he has watched all these games that he has such feelings.
Whether it's the Jinzu Nong I met before, or the current Osaka Kiryu.
In theory, it is difficult for these two teams to pose too much threat to the Qingdao High School baseball team.
The Kings Qingdao High School baseball team has completely crushed them in terms of strength.
But now, because of the addition of excellent pitchers, both teams have exploded with extraordinary strength.
During a game against Seido High School's baseball team.
Demonstrated strength that can compete with it.
Jin Zunong was better at that time. Although their pitchers were strong, the strength of other players was obviously insufficient.
If we target them, it won't be too difficult for the Qingdao High School baseball team's friends to deal with them.
But Osaka Kiryu is different.
On this point, Fujio, a senior reporter from Baseball Kingdom Magazine, summed it up best.
"The Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team is essentially different from the Jinzunong that the Seido High School baseball team had encountered before. The Jinzunong High School baseball team is completely a one-man team. Although the other players trained well, but Their style is firmly imprinted deep in their bones and has not changed. This is why it is difficult for other players to carry the banner after their ace collapsed. In contrast, Osaka Kiryu is different .They are wealthy…”
"Any major baseball team maintains a strong competitiveness in major baseball games. Even in the years when Seido High School was in decline, they had a first-class presence in West Tokyo games. Other giants are very competitive. It is possible to be eliminated by them in an upset."
This is the giants!
No matter how weak they are, they still have the capital to take off.
Just give them a pair of wings to take off, and these teams will be reborn in an instant.
What kind of level did Morishita and Takamiya reach?
No one can make an assertion.
But it is obvious that because of the addition of the two of them, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team has the possibility to take off.
The two of them are those wings.
Because of the existence of wings, even other parts have also evolved.
The excellent performance of Kiryu Osaka comes from this.
Of course, this also requires a prerequisite.
If you want to take off, you must have the capital to take off.
Say you're an eagle cub.
Once you learn to fly, you can fly thousands of miles.
But if you are just a hen, even if you are given a pair of eagle wings, you will not be able to flap high.
"Obviously, that's the case with Kiryu Osaka now."
They've been completely transformed by the addition of good pitchers and catchers.
Now even if he plays against the Qingdao High School baseball team, he has the capital to compete with it.
"So it's possible that Osaka Kiryu High School will defeat Aomichi today?"
Owada Akiko analyzed very reluctantly.
She herself is a fan of Seidou High School, and the headquarters of Baseball Kingdom Magazine is in Tokyo.
Whether it's her own position or the company's position.
Of course she didn't want the Qingdao High School baseball team to encounter any obstacles on the way to becoming legends.
But now it seems that it is really possible to evolve into that situation.
"That's not the case! Don't forget that their opponent is Sawamura-san."
In theory, as long as you don't drop a run in a baseball game, your side can't lose.
This fully demonstrates the importance of defense.
But the problem is, you can't win if you don't score!
The Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team has been greatly strengthened on defense due to the addition of excellent pitchers and catchers.
Although it is not clear yet, will they be able to completely suppress the Qingdao High School baseball team?
But obviously, they already have such a possibility.
This also means that they have the qualifications to play head-to-head with the Qingdao High School baseball team.
But just having such qualifications is far from enough.
If the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team really wants to beat Seido High School, and then accomplish even more ambitious goals.
Defensively alone, restraining the Qingdao High School baseball team is not enough.
They had to find a way to get points from Eijun Sawamura.
Only by scoring points in the hands of the big devil Sawamura Eijun, can the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team really have the possibility of being reborn.
Only then will they be able to gain an advantage in the next game and win.
If this is not possible, even the players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team can temporarily suppress the Seido High School baseball team's offense.
Nor can it prove that they already have an advantage in the game.
It's too early to tell.
Not to mention, until now, they have only solved one position.
The truly terrifying hitter of Qingdao High School's baseball team hasn't been online yet.
While Akiko Owada was discussing with Fujio, there was a new change in the game on the court.
"Ping!"
Haruichi Kominato, who hit the second bat, finally hit the ball after struggling with the ball a few times.
The ball he hit looked particularly tricky, and the direction it landed was also a gap for defense.
"Nice job!"
"Run!!"
The rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, which had been a bit low morale just now, suddenly glowed with life.
The players were all excited. If they didn't think it was impossible, they all wanted to play in person and acted for Xiao Minouchunshi.
This kind of opportunity is rare.
As long as the ball is on the ground, it is almost a matter of course for Haruichi Kominato to hit the base.
At this moment, a vigorous figure suddenly appeared.
The speed of this figure was so fast that many people didn't even notice it before he ran over.
They took it for granted that the ball must have gone out.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.
The man was very beautiful and blocked the ball decisively.
So much so that the friends who were carefully prepared by the Qingdao High School baseball team were stunned.
Who can tell them what happened just now?
Why does the shortstop of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team suddenly rush out to catch the ball.
The most important thing is that they caught the ball.
Are you angry?
The ball was directly caught.
In less than 5 minutes of the start, the players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team had already scored two outs.
And they were all very clean exits.
Sawamura Eijun, who was about to go on the field to attack, specifically asked Kuramochi and Haruichi Kominato.
He wanted to know how these two little friends evaluated their opponents?
Sawamura Eijun, who got the answer from the two of them, not only did not have any pleasure in solving the puzzle.
Instead, he was even more confused.
Both of them talked a lot. Obviously, although they were dealt with during the attack, they still completed their tasks excellently and launched an investigation on the other party's intelligence.
But the strange thing is that the conclusions drawn by the two people are completely opposite.
Kuramo insisted that the opponent's shot should be a change ball.
Although the range is not very large, the effect is first-class.
Haruichi Kominato also admitted that baseball has changed slightly.
But he didn't think the shot was a change ball, it should be a straight ball.
It's just that this straight ball is mixed with something he doesn't know, so it looks like a change ball.
"Since it is a straight ball, where does the complicated change come from?"
"Didn't you see Sawamura-san's pitching? Isn't he the same?"
Take Sawamura Eijun as an example, the answer is yes or no.
Sawamura Eijun's pitching has been beyond the understanding of ordinary people many years ago.
In this way, with a confused head, Sawamura Eijun stood on the opposite side of the pitcher.
He stood on the strike zone, scrutinizing with piercing eyes the guy who would become his opponent in front of him.
Morishita!
According to Yujing Xun, this kid usually has a very low-key style, and he hasn't won any outstanding achievements.
So people tend to ignore his existence subconsciously.
But in fact, his strength is absolutely not inferior to anyone.
The players who were in the same class as them, and those who had played against Morishita, all spoke highly of Morishita.
This is a player with extremely high talent and his own strength has reached a certain level.
How is his strength?
It's still an unknown.
However, considering the giants Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, in such a crucial game, let him start directly.
Then how can his strength not be inferior?
According to what Kuramochi and Kominato Haruichi said, this little guy's ability seems to be quite strange.
Even the spectators ordered the dishes.
Although I don't know the specific process, but looking at the way the two were eliminated, Sawamura Eijun can also guess that it is very close.
Haruichi Kominato and Yoichi Kuramochi, although they have not reached the strength of the top star players in the country.
But according to Sawamura's usual observations, their strength has long been extraordinary.
They have gradually formed their own systems.
Being able to get rid of these two people proves the strength of the other party.
It was not difficult for Sawamura Eijun to judge that this was a target worthy of his full strength.
This is a very rare opponent.
Although the opponent is a year younger than him, Sawamura Eijun will not underestimate the opponent's ability because of this.
In fact, on the former Qingdao High School baseball team.
It's not that Sawamura Eijun has never done similar things.
Talented people come out from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.
On the baseball field, it is really normal for one generation to succeed the next.
In the Yangtze River, the waves behind push the waves ahead, and each generation is stronger than each generation.
Especially for players of Sawamura Eijun's level, even if he still has a goal ahead, with Sawamura's current efforts and persistence.
He also believes that one day in the future, he will be able to catch up.
But those who came after them were different.
No matter how fast I ran ahead, I could always feel the footsteps of those who came after me.
This made Sawamura Eijun not dare to relax at all.
He knew very well that once he was in the lead, he would be overtaken by someone.
Then if you want to recover the gap, I am afraid it will not be so realistic.
His own talent limits him.
Age limits him too!
So when facing challengers, Sawamura Eijun is no less inferior than facing those enemies.
He is just as serious.
In the process, he showed his ability to suppress the bottom of the box.
In any case, the opponent must be resolved.
"Let me take a good look at it, what kind of abilities do you little guy have?"
Kuramochi and Minato can be dealt with in a head-to-head duel.
Although this seems to be due to the defense of Osaka Kiryu High School.
The pitcher was lucky enough to escape the attacks of the Qingdao High School baseball team again and again.
