After winning the game, everyone also met Fumino who came to watch the game and had dinner together. Sendou personally sent Fumino to the station.
Sunday,
"Let's go, guys!" Sawamura shouted.
"Oh!!!"
"Hurry up and get in the car!" Sendou picked up his collar and got in the car like he was carrying vegetables!
"Hahahaha!" Everyone who just responded also laughed when they saw this scene.
The two cores of Akashi can continue to fight as always. In fact, everyone is quite nervous and curious. After all, you can only know what a strong school is when you see it.
"Crack!"
"So fast!"
"This is just a practice shot, right? A serious shot would be faster!"
"How many kilometers is it? That straight shot."
"Is this what tyranny is?"
"There are a lot of people watching the battle!"
"After all, we are from a famous family!" Although the content of the conversation was quite negative and envious, the tone of several people was indeed becoming more and more optimistic.
After all, I grew up next to Sawamura. In many cases, they are also heartless, but they are just a little more delicate on this basis.
A few minutes later, the game officially started, Akashi First Attack.
"Crack!"
"Strike!"
"So fast! Sen-chan is faster than what you voted for us! What the hell!"
"It looks like the second half of 130 kilometers. This is just my second year. I should be able to reach 140 kilometers next year!
But the ball control is terrible, basically Changeup. Are there also straight balls and bad balls? "
Sendou seemed to answer questions and self-analysis, but with a complimenting tone, he really sounded like a coach.
It's just that his complimentary stance is a bit inappropriate.
"In the first round, just observe first! Look at their playing style!" Thinking of this, Sendou stood up and played Signals on the court.
So the batter began to swing the bat cautiously.
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Sure enough, this pitcher's ball control is very bad, and he is clearly good and bad, but this is their important first game, and the one who plays will definitely be the ace, but why is he the ace?
I'm afraid his Changeup should be a good match for straight balls. "Seeing the second ball Sendou continued to analyze in his mind.
"Strike! two!"
"Strike! three! Batter out!"
"It's really tricky! It takes a long time to get used to this straight ball. Don't you want to throw it? Changeup!"
"Strike! Batter out!"
"Strike! Batter out!"
"Change the field!" the referee announced the decision after a very emotional pause to gather his emotions.
"Yo west! In excellent condition!"
"Let's defeat them all in one fell swoop!"
"End the game early! De Chuan!"
Three consecutive strikeouts also aroused the emotions of the audience. Although the audience was mostly neutral except for the parents of both parties and the students of De Chuan.
Neutral viewers will generally support the stronger side. Of course, if the weak one shows their strength, they will immediately switch sides. After all, King's victory is compared to the bottom victory over the top. The bottom victory is always the most popular.
"It's so annoying! I'm going to shut up these people!" Sawamura said and was about to go out, but Sendou snatched him back.
"Stop causing trouble! Baga!"
"How do you feel? It's basically a straight shot, but it's still hard to hit, right?"
"Well! It's already very difficult to hit this straight ball. And it's impossible for this pitcher to rely only on straight balls, right?" Aoki said.
"Yeah! But just try your best! His poor ball control means that the easy ball will definitely come back. When the opportunity comes, you must seize it!" Sendou said.
"Okay, it's our turn to defend. Forget about attacking and concentrate on defense! Enjoy the game! Don't do anything you regret because of nervousness!"
"Oh!"
"Ping!"
"Bang! Out"
He found it difficult, so why not Deming?
I'm afraid the opponent's coach doesn't even know what moving is!
If you respond like Sakura Women's University, plus Metal Bat and Sawamura have two points of retraction, I'm afraid Sawamura's ball will not be so easy to use.
Instead of being like now, I don't even know what happened to the ball, I just wonder if my hand feels strange.
So under this strange feeling, the two sides fought strangely, the same Three Up Three Down.
In the first half of the second game,
"Heixiu!"
"Huixiu!"
"A!... huixiu!"
"Strike! Batter out!"
Okay, Sawamura made three happy air swings, and the fun began!
However, the game was not exciting, but in general it was impossible to defeat the Akashi player with three goals.
Even if the lower position player encounters one or two balls more or less, it will still be no problem. Who allows them to have Batting Practice Pitcher with the same ball speed or even faster ball speed and excellent ball control?
In the second half of the second inning, due to fielding skills and hardware problems in the fielding range, the runner once reached second base, but in the end he came back without any danger.
In short, the game went through three innings without any danger. In the fourth inning, Akashi's Ono hit the bases through irregular bounces. Although the batter behind him, due to his excellent base-feeding tactics and his hard-working base running ability, also pushed him to third base. However, the key hit could not be hit, so he had to change the field unfortunately.
In the second half of the fourth game, Deming relied on Metal Bat's striking surface and power to force his way into the boundary, but his defensive response was insufficient and he lost two points in a row.
(If you don't use full strength and the change is small, you don't need to stand too far forward! I think!)
Even if no one noticed his quality, the deadlock was finally broken, and the opponent was not stupid. He would definitely swing the stick regardless in the next game.
However, Akashi everyone was helpless.
Even though he was mentally prepared to be beaten, Akashi, who fell behind for the first time in several games in recent months, was still a little anxious.
And the result of being anxious is strikeouts! Strikeout! Strikeout!
Sure enough, in the next game, the opponent's coach yelled frantically not to care about the mess, and just swung the bat with all his strength to hit the ball, and beat these rookies with high-speed return balls.
After hearing this, everyone began to feel a little unbalanced, as if they were weak and eager to achieve success, which led to an increase in mistakes.
Although there were no low-level mistakes like those in the summer, their shortcomings and weaknesses were severely exposed like masks or scars against a team strong enough to grasp them.
However, Sendou is not a fuel-saving lamp. He used another method. To put it bluntly, he asked them to readjust their mentality and play with the attitude of learning, observing, and enjoying the game. Changeup completely gave up on the non-appearance of Changeup, and after gradually adapting to the ball speed, the hits began to come out. Now, when the opponent sees that Akashi has adapted to the ball speed, he also starts to show Changeup, Forkball and before the change, Dynamic Vision has not surpassed ordinary people, so it is completely the same as the straight ball trajectory in the early stage.
At this critical moment, Sendou cracked the opponent's catcher's distribution strategy, and finally got two points from De Chuan at Final Inning, but the score at this time was already 8 to 2.
The game ends until the last batter Akashi is out.
In this way, there will be no official competition for the first grade of junior high school. As for whether there is Practice Match, I will study the schedule! Organize your thoughts. Good night
