"Ping!" The attacker's blow quickly passed through the infield defense line.
"Nice strike!"
"Now it's two outs with runners on first and third base!"
The attacker is clearly Akagi Middle School, the runners are Kondo and Akio (this guy runs slowly), and the hitter is 6th Batter Oomura.
"He should further lose weight when he goes back, otherwise he can go to third base!" Sendou complained next to him.
"Crack!"
"Strike!"
"Still according to the original plan? How bold! Sen-chan!" Oomura, who had swung empty once, saw that there was no instruction from the bench, so he concentrated on deciding the outcome.
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Changeup give up everything!" Thinking back to Sendou's previous command.
"Aim for the straight ball that grabs the ball!"
"Ping!"
"Ah! Yoxi!" A very beautiful parabola.
However,
"Crack!"
"Out! Game over!"
"4 to 3! De Ming Middle School wins!"
"Lost! But it was such a good game!" When the players were communicating with each other, Sawamura said to the other player.
"I thought we had made great progress and you guys weren't idle either! Haha!"
on the other side,
"Coach Yashiro, thank you for your advice!"
"Sendou-kun To be honest, I was really shocked! I didn't expect that your team's hitting has made great progress in just half a month! There were a lot of hits today!"
"Thank you! It's true that last time we caught an error and scored on the bases. We did have some hits today, but Deming's players have improved a lot!"
"No, Sendou-kun, it's just that we understood it after all, so we carried out Infield Shift. Even so, we still can't stop your tactical cooperation. It's such a tacit understanding."
"You've won the prize!" Teacher Sano also said beside him.
"By the way, I heard that your Practice Match's results have been pretty good recently!"
"It's not bad! Counting today's game, we won 9 out of 10 games, and we haven't even played against any of the stronger teams yet."
"That's really a good result!"
"Then let's go back first!" Finally Sendou was ready to close the team.
"Then see you on the field in the summer!"
"Hi!"
The facts are indeed as Sendou said. After everyone started to master the new striking posture, they started to practice Practice Match continuously for actual combat.
Because the opponent was relatively weak, Akashi practiced his fielding to a certain extent, but his number of hits and runs also began to increase.
Similarly, the boring basic practice of running for so long, nearly a year, is a great contribution. The hitter no longer relies on the state, but can also hit the hits like before. Sawamura's pitches rarely have obvious deviations, like before, even if the ball does not change irregularly in the inside corner, it is still afraid of hitting someone.
The score of the game was similar to that in Autumn, and the same was true for Deming. The opponent was also a new team in Autumn, and their defensive coordination was not good. Akashi made many mistakes and lost control, and there were basically no actual hits.
In autumn, Deming also reached the quarterfinals and was only separated from Semifinals by a thin line, but this ranking was meaningless compared to Nagano.
After Autumn Tournament was stimulated by the competition between Akashi and Sakura Women's University, he worked harder, which made the Deming become a lot stronger. They were also surprised by the changes in Akashi.
Therefore, this autumn battle is between a new team like Deming that has not been well integrated and has a weak foundation, and a team like Akashi who is in great form. In addition, Ground Ball's luck has made a draw, and the current game is between two serious teams.
"It was so fun to play today! But it's such a pity that we were so close to a tie or even a possible reversal!" Sawamura was flushed and very excited on the way back.
"And I didn't expect that Deming has become a lot stronger! It's really amazing!"
"So autumn is just for major teams to hone their new teams, and summer is the real competition! Everyone did a great job." Sendou also rarely poured cold water on the competition.
"Yi ye, yi ye, yi ye, it's not that good!" Sawamura said with his left hand on the back of his head, his face full of pride.
"You worked very hard too!"
"Hey? What did you just say?" Sawamura looked at Sendou in disbelief. To be honest, he was a little carried away, but he was still prepared to be poured cold water on him. Sendou's sudden compliment made him unable to react for a moment.
"Ah! Wuwuwuwu!" Sawamura was about to shout excitedly, but the person next to him quickly covered his mouth with quick eyes and hands.
"Haha! But don't get too carried away! There are still five games to come! Among them, Sakura Girls and De Chuan Middle School are the highlights. That Coach Mitani will not miss your ball. Be prepared, and you can't throw the ball with all your strength. This game is just waiting to be blown up brilliantly! But there shouldn't be any Long Hit, which will be very helpful for everyone's Tokyo Area fielding!
And De Chuan! Although the strength is far inferior to Sakura Girls, they use Metal Bat. For us, the wiring is the same as Sakura, very strong!
And it's very verbose and annoying that you want to go to the whole country all day long, but if you don't defeat De Chuan, you can't go to the whole country. "
Everyone was silent for a while!
"Ha! Don't worry too much. If it doesn't work this year, there will be next year! They will change the team members again after this summer, and we will get stronger without needing it." Sendou saw everyone's silence and started to let everyone relax, but Sawamura didn't like to hear the words.
"We will win! I... wuwuwu!" But just halfway through Sawamura's words, he was muffled again.
In fact, Sendou is very clear that even the current Akashi will not be the opponent of De Chuan who just formed a new team in the autumn, let alone now.
The gap between the two sides is still very large. Although it is not completely impossible to win, it is no different from being lucky.
Moreover, Sendou is the kind of person who excludes luck when making estimates. Luck can only be used as a surprise and cannot be added when making self-estimations.
This time Practice Match was interested in Sawamura. Out of curiosity, Practice Match applied for Practice Match with Akashi, and did not regard them as opponents at all. The same Sendou also wants to know to what extent De Chuan has evolved compared to Qiu. Although he doesn't think he will win, Sendou also doesn't think there is any chance, and the gap will be so big next year. It can be said that the two sides hit it off.
In the following days, Akashi played several consecutive games with Practice Match, but the only games he did not play were with Sakura Girls and De Chuan. However, these two games were ranked relatively low, so Akashi finally breathed a sigh of relief after a series of games!
Although continuous fighting allows the body to quickly turn technology into its own, it is also a huge drain on energy.
