The two people walked to the side one after another. The third graders who were not prepared to strike looked at the backs of the pair of first and third graders.
"Tanba is becoming more and more ace-like."
"Hmph," Miyauchi looked at his friend, "Tanba is still growing up to this day." He still remembered the original Kōichirō, who was so big but so shy. He was obviously a very strong pitcher, but standing on Pitcher's Mound, he felt that it did not belong to him. It was probably his experience as a substitute in junior high school that created this character.
Of course, there were people who were thoughtful enough to see the silent exchange between those two pitchers.
"Tsk, this guy really knows how to summon seniors." Kuramochi is a careful and straightforward person. What he is least good at is facing people like Kōshū who are more delicate. Because he can detect the influence of the other party, but feels that the other party's approach is damn right. This leaves him with nothing to refute, so he hates this passive feeling.
"Haha, what are you talking about?" Miyuki had just taken off his protective gear and picked up the bat.
"You have also noticed that your junior really doesn't like to express himself." Kuramochi likes to call Kōshū the junior of Miyuki. After all, the first time he knew about this person was from Miyuki.
"What's wrong with this? Wouldn't it make the whole Pitcher Lineup more united? Don't you like the way they fight?"
"Tch, there is supervision anyway. Everything is based on strength. Those little thoughts will have no effect. If you have half the thoughts he has, you won't be unhappy with senior Tanba." Kuramochi insisted on his own ideas. Of course, Miyuki's statement was correct, but he had to maintain the consistency of his previous statements.
"Are you careful..." Miyuki tapped his bat. "Well, whatever you say is fine, it's my turn to play."
"Two dozen no-hitters."
"Long-winded!"
Senior Masuko had already hit a double hit earlier. In order to prove that his batting ability could rank sixth, Miyuki chose the ball very carefully. As a result, Four Balls Walk was chosen.
"Haha." He smiled awkwardly.
At this time, in the second half of the fifth inning, it was Seido's turn to attack. There were people on first and second base. Teito's pitcher was certainly very impressed with the pitcher who hit Home Run in the previous inning.
"Bad ball!" The high inside-angle ball that went straight into the chest failed to destroy Furuya's striking posture.
Immediately following a high straight ball to the outside corner, it was hit by Furuya and landed next to the right field wall.
"It's been hit again, that one must be a bad ball." Probably in this game, except Furuya himself who was confused, everyone else, whether friendly or enemy, was shocked by Furuya's game. His performance was very surprising. In two consecutive games, his pitching performance and batting performance improved together. Home Run hit a double and Seido directly won 3 points.
Furuya, who is the hero of Seido, was welcomed by Haruichi and Kōshū as soon as he came off the stage. He was fed two glasses of water and wiped away his sweat.
"Eijun... is on the stage." Furuya belatedly saw that Eijun was already jumping on that Pitcher's Mound.
"Hey, you didn't forget, you're going to play too." Tanba handed over the gloves, "Remember what I just told you."
"Yeah." Furuya nodded obediently, and then went to the left field. It was the first time he stood in the left field in an official game. His first glance was still at Pitcher's Mound, 'It's so far away from Pitcher's Mound. I really want to pitch.'
"I will let them keep fighting. Please help everyone who is guarding the back!" Eijun once again delivered his routine speech on Pitcher's Mound.
"Pitch quickly, you bastard." Kuramochi looked at himself, a junior pitcher, and for some reason suddenly felt a little resentful.
The first goal, the so-called third chapter of Sawamura Legend, was carried out by the opponent's five sticks from the beginning.
"Huh?" Furuya was in a very frustrating situation in the first two games, but Eijun seemed to open up the situation instantly, "Time!"
Miyuki rarely called a timeout after the first ball, "You should use the new posture you studied before, just so we can see how this posture works when facing strong teams." Because Sawamura is still throwing unsteadily, the two people agreed at first that they would use the old posture to throw the ball, which would be slightly better in controlling the ball. After all, they haven't thrown much in two weeks.
"Hi!"
After being kicked from behind by senior Kuramochi, the game restarted.
In the first half of the sixth inning, Teito keenly felt something different in the sixth bat, 'This pitcher's posture? Have you raised your legs this high before? '
But time did not allow him to think too much. The pitcher lifted his leg, stepped forward, released the ball, etc.? Why can't I see the ball release point? I don't know where the ball is going to go when I swing the bat at this time!
'Ah, the ball suddenly came out.. '
"Good ball!" The batter faced such a pitching posture for the first time. He released the bat in a hurry and missed the swing. He looked back at the catcher's glove. At this time, he discovered, didn't this guy almost hit the red center position? Why was it so difficult to hit?
"Hahaha," Kōshū looked at the batter's confused look and laughed out loud while lying on the railing.
"So, why are you suddenly interested again?" Haruichi asked.
"Don't you think Eijun is a very hot-blooded person? I like him very much." Kōshū threw a straight ball, and Haruichi, the opponent, although it was not a confession to himself, suddenly felt that the atmosphere became anxious, and 'Peng——' blushed.
"Like... what does it mean." Of course Haruichi knows that Kōshū is a foreigner. When talking about foreigners, they will be associated with their enthusiastic expressions, but Kōshū is obviously Chinese, and they are both Asians, so they should be very reserved! So, should I tell Lang Zhi?
"Eh? What's your expression?" Kōshū suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his Japanese, and reiterated. "I like it because I can't be like him. Although I really want to, I can't do it, so I like it."
'Envy-envy? 'Lang Zhi's brother said another word that he needed to understand for a while, so should this sentence be used to report to Lang Zhi? What Lang Zhi said was, 'Retell to me all the conversations between my brother and that guy Eijun'. Only Haruichi, who had played very well with him recently, would agree to such an excessive request.
"Haha, it's actually about expressing your aggression or ambition frankly. If you are not someone with whom you have a good relationship, you will be hated by others if you do this."
'Although I don't quite understand it, I'm probably praising Eijun. ' Seeing that Kōshū stopped talking, Haruichi also paid attention to the game itself.
As a result, in the sixth inning, apart from Teito's six-bat hit, Eijun quickly got three outs with very few balls.
"Almost all of them are ground balls that were disrupted by bats."
"Is that pitcher's ball that hard to hit?"
Teito's Dugout, the discussion about the fast pitcher just now is still hot, this new pitcher has caused a lot of topics.
"You will understand when you go to bat. It is very difficult to grasp the timing of that guy's pitching." The batter who came off the field could not describe what he saw, so he could only say this.
It was in this background sound that Teito's supervisory eyes swept around Dugout opposite, "Kataoka Manager is really lucky. We have received so many good seeds this year, and now West Tokyo's situation is even better. Let's fight, let's fight. When you are exhausted and meet us at Koshien, it will be even better." '
Today I continued to work on the post-project evaluation ppt. The manager praised me for making the ppt look good. I understand what she meant was, if it looks good, do more of it.
