On October 11, the weather was sunny and even a little hot. There is not a strong sense of autumn in Tokyo as a whole. It only rained for a few days and then changed its mind and the heat returned.
Baseball boys are more accustomed to this kind of weather.
Equally enthusiastic were the spectators and reporters outside the stadium.
"Why did there suddenly become so many people?" The first two games were obviously fine.
This question was answered when another group of people appeared, "Inami's game is behind us again."
And what he didn't say, 'After winning both games, it's time for tit-for-tat again. ' So there were a lot of reporters who got wind of it, and they could write a notice in a sports weekly about the meeting of the kings again or something like that.
"Ah——" Narumiya Mei on the opposite side also spotted Seido. He did not rush forward rashly, but stared at the pitcher until the opponent turned his head.
Narumiya Mei made a very arrogant expression and pointed his nostrils at Kōshū.
Kōshū looked around gently, and with lightning speed, he raised his hand horizontally and wiped his neck, signaling to cut his throat.
Then Narumiya Mei gestured to a height and saw it was 1.9 meters. Then he grabbed some air, threw it on the ground, and crushed it with the sole of his shoe.
"Slightly, slightly, slightly," Kōshū made a face, and quickly turned his head back before the opponent could react, leaving his breath to the opponent.
Kuramochi also noticed the movement here, and reminded him not to look at the pitcher on the other side, "Are you naive or not? It's not until the next game yet."
"Hmph, you have to use children's methods to deal with children." Kōshū replied.
"Tch", I really don't know what kind of character this person is. The more I get to know Kuramochi, the more I feel I can't figure out his character. In front of the supervisor and coach, he acts like an adult and does adult things. When he is with Lang Zhi or Eijun, he will show his flaws, which is extremely childish.
"Hurry up, we're about to enter."
Kōshū Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat. It was a rare feeling. Before he even entered the court, his heart was beating fast and yesterday's training was flooding into his mind.
Whether it works or not, I can still cast it. These questions are very simple, but he can't give himself an answer now. He must build up some self-confidence through actual combat.
"Play ball!"
Time quickly pushed the game into the first game.
The starting pitcher is still Furuya, and his ball speed is still very fast. He throws the ball into Miyuki's glove, almost advertising to Kataoka Manager how good his condition is.
"It's amazing, that ball speed!"
Everyone in Kawasaki's Dugout had expressions of wonder, except for the four bats in the batting preparation area who had solemn expressions on their faces, "It's different from the video or in the audience. When you watch it at such a close distance, the ball seems to be alive. Is this what professional players look like in high school?" '
Without giving him a closer look at the game, Seido has already been Three Up, Three Down this round.
"Three out, switch sides!"
In the auditorium, the audience, who were used to seeing this kind of scene, applauded.
"By the way, Seido's original ace hasn't been on the field, will Furuya take away his ace status?"
"Based on the current situation, Furuya can definitely be regarded as Seido's trump card."
"Sure enough, ball speed is everything!"
Miyuki naturally shouted to Furuya who was coming off the field, "The condition is very good, just keep it like this!"
"You're a great guy!" Kuramochi supported from behind.
With such encouragement, Furuya looked at Kataoka intentionally when passing the entrance of Dugout.
But Kataoka turned his attention to the court, "It's still the original arrangement."
In an instant, everyone saw that the light on Furuya became weaker.
"Pfft haha, Furuya, just accept the reality!" Eijun was gloating at the side. He was very happy at the time because Kataoka Manager had already made arrangements yesterday.
"In the game against the Kawasaki Academy, every pitcher has a chance to play. This is the last actual training before the head-on confrontation with Inomi."
In this case, Eijun will play at least two games today.
The fact was just as he expected. In the first half of the fourth game, Furuya was still in very good condition. When he came off the field, he deliberately took his steps a lot lighter. He was afraid that if his steps were too heavy, he would 'wake up' the supervisor. But how could the supervisor forget his arrangement, "Furuya, you are still hitting in this inning, but the pitching at the beginning of the fifth inning will be -"
"Bang - oh shit, my condition is still at its highest point!" Everyone heard the shout from Bullpen, and couldn't help but feel a little speechless. How could such pursuit of performance be useful...
But——
"From the beginning of the fifth round, let Sawamura take over!"
'No, is it really useful to pursue performance like this?! '
Kōshū crossed his arms on one side and looked at everyone's reaction with amusement, "Really, everyone is really forgetful. When he first entered school, wasn't that guy just asking for attention on Red and White Game?" If it weren't for his character and his strength, it's a matter of debate whether he could have entered First String. '
"Eh? Let me play!" Eijun's eyes were filled with tears and snot. "General, I thought you were going to forget me. It's my turn starting from the third game! I will never let you down!"
"Hey, hey, hey, when did I say that you can play from the third game on?" Kanemaru complained on the side. He is also a being who is not as strong as others. He always sees Eijun fighting for opportunities through various shameless methods, which makes him feel itchy.
But he still couldn't lose face when he fought so shamelessly. This situation made Kanemaru not only pay attention to Eijun involuntarily, but also envied and hated Eijun from the bottom of his heart.
Kawasaki Academy, at the beginning of the fifth inning, just when the Fastball pitcher went down, and they were about to breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to fully display their strength, they encountered another strange left-hander.
"It's so hard to catch the timing of this pitch!"
"Out!"
Kawasaki Fourth Batter was out first. He gripped the bat and trotted off. He didn't know why his heart was complicated, 'Can a pitcher who is not on the roster, and a pitcher who has a high probability of not being drafted by professional baseball, have such a level? '
"Yo... oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!" Eijun was so frightened by the opponent's four swings that he almost stuttered.
"Don't shout if you're nervous, it will expose the fact that you are a fool!" Senior Kuramochi was behind, wishing he could go up and give the pitcher a kick right now.
'That Cutter works well. 'Kōshū was warming up on the sidelines, feeling the sights from all directions, 'Hehe, Daoshi must be watching too. '
Just as Kōshū thought, Narumiya Mei jumped up in the audience, "Look! He came out to practice shooting, so the theme of the end game will still be him!"
