"Second bat, second baseman, Nakajima-kun!"
"Second bat, second baseman, Nakajima-kun!"
"Come on! Nakajima!"
"Fight out, Nakajima!"
"Hold on! There are still two outs left! Akashi!"
"A showdown! ×N!" Both Chicheng and Nakajima had this idea at the same time.
"The competition between De Chuan Middle School and Akagi Middle School has reached a fever pitch.
Now it's the bottom half of Final Inning, with one out and runner on second base, the score is 3 to 1, and Akashi is leading.
Is Akashi keeping the score? Or will De Chuan see you through the reversal? The winner will become the quarterfinals. I didn't expect that the three rounds of this summer's competition would be so exciting.
Akashi is ready for the shot, the eye-catching first goal! "
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Ah!!!"
"It's a pity that it's out of bounds, but it's already passed through the infield, doesn't it matter? Now all nine people from Akashi are in the infield!
But there was no movement on the Akashi bench. It seemed like it was just a coincidence! "
Although this is the case, Sendou feels that Nine-Man Infield's fielding has reached a certain stage. From his point of view, the batter did not force the ball.
Moreover, Soft Baseball flew farther, and he could only be sure of the high fly ball if he rushed out from the infield to catch it.
"If you fight again next time, just change it!
Originally, I planned to back off if I was unlucky and lined up with a center hitter. "Sendou said to himself in his heart.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!" The ball rolled behind the catcher!
"It only took two balls to chase down the batter. Can you suppress it and get the second out?"
"Not good! I didn't hit the ball well!" At this time, the batter was also blaming himself.
"Akashi didn't intend to give the batter time, third ball!"
"Damn it! Fight!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"It's so dangerous! The ball flew out of the infield again, aren't you ready to take action?
Sure enough, Akashi's Back Number 10, Akagi Middle School's actual coach, Sendou Akira!
Already adjusting, the outfield is starting to retreat, which is natural. De Chuan's hitter already has the ability to penetrate the infield. "
"But it's not just that. I said that their attacks are a bit familiar. They are imitating us and moving the attack point forward!
Sweep it out with force? In this way, we can't just walk three, four or two without thinking! "Sendou added in his heart after hearing the explanation.
"Speaking of which! I'm a fan of Sendou!"
"Uh!" Sendou paused after hearing what the commentator said, and suddenly said this sentence: The soles of his feet softened. Fortunately, due to his strong physical ability, he regained his balance by relying only on the strength of his calves.
"Hahaha! It's a joke! It's a joke! I'm a fan of Sendou Akira in SD! Apparently Sendou-kun's father is the same! Although it sounds like a tongue twister!"
"Hey! Uncle, this joke is not funny at all!" Sendou complained in his heart.
In the words of explaining the active atmosphere, Sendou has completed the arrangement. The outfielders have withdrawn from the infield but are still Infield Shift. The infield also prevents bunts. At this time, everyone is under too much pressure. If they are caught off guard, it is too easy to make a mistake.
"Nice layout, it seems that the student coach is not just an ordinary baseball enthusiast.
But my purpose has always been only one! "Coach Kunimi said in his heart when he saw Akashi's change of formation.
What he didn't know was that Akashi was also helpless. Although Sendou had already guessed his purpose, he couldn't speak to prevent the people being targeted from being too stressed. In this case, it would be better to let them perform on the spot.
"Akashi's adjustment has ended and the competition will resume.
Captured at Signals, ready, ready!
The fourth ball! Voted!
Hit! But unfortunately it was another bad goal! However, the ball was almost caught by the right fielder who just retreated! "
"Damn it! Even though it's all in the middle, are these guys adjusting the speed of the ball?"
However, Signals gradually became quiet when he saw Signals on the bench!
"The fifth ball!"
"Steal a base!"
"Bunt?!" Sawamura saw this bunt and twisted his wrist almost instinctively, wanting to become Rebound Ball! (He did it several times in high school!)
"Step!" But his instinct hurt him this time. What was in front of him was not Miyuki, Chris, or Sendou.
"The catch was missed! The catcher missed the catch! The ball rolled behind him, and the batter gave up the hit and ran to the base!
That's one out and three bases!!! "
"Ah!!!" Sawamura was in a trance at that moment!
But it was only for a moment, and he immediately started to encourage his teammates. This should be the biggest difference between Sawamura in junior high school and high school!
Because I could only rely on him in junior high school, and he was the one who really caused trouble for others in high school.
"Three bats, first baseman, Sumiyoshi!"
"Three bats, first baseman, Sumiyoshi!"
But the sound of the broadcast brought them back to reality. The last time Center Batting Lineup was beaten out by Sumiyoshi, and then four walks were given, and it took five to survive.
This time, I originally planned to give the opponent a point and a walk and then face off against the six-stick. De Chuan's six-stick is also the same blind gun type as Takada, but it is not good at catching points, so Sawamura has an advantage against him. The winning rate will be very high against him with two outs. It really means that if you win, you will make a lot of money and if you lose, you will not lose.
But the missed connection just now completely ruined this tactic. It can be said that the situation has reached a critical moment of life and death.
If you can't get any of the three Center Batting Lineup outs in this round, you will have to fight them one after another.
"Sumiyoshi give us another hit! Reversal them!"
"Concentrate on the batter!"
"Change your mood!"
"Don't be nervous! Takeda!!!" All kinds of support sounds echoed from the sidelines of the game!
"Bang!" Sawamura threw the magnesium powder belt to the ground and felt that the world was very quiet at that moment.
His concentration was extremely concentrated, and his state was up.
"Pa!" The sound of stepping boomed!
"Phew!"
"Crack!"
"Good ball!" The catcher missed the ball again, but was blocked by Takeda with his body, and the ball was missed.
"In this case, the ball speed has increased? You won't keep pitching like this and try to strike out, right?" Sumiyoshi was joking to himself in his heart.
For the second ball, lift your legs, step, and swing your arms in one go.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"The power of the ball has also improved! And he was almost caught. And he had no intention of slowing down, and he didn't care if the catcher couldn't catch it.
In other words, you don't have to worry about the catcher missing a catch and losing points, but you still want to have a showdown with me, right? "Sumiyoshi sighed inwardly when he saw that there was no sign of moving forward, but a high fly ball that hit the guardrail behind him.
"Yo west! Another two-goal chase!"
"Damn it! I can't catch it at all! But I won't let the ball roll behind me even if I die!" Takeda Fighting Spirit was equally high-spirited.
And at this time Sawamura's Fighting Spirit reached its peak and you could hardly hear what others said, and maybe even ignored Signals!
Although Takeda now has nothing to play with Signals, because Signals all makes Sawamura increase or decrease the speed of the ball.
"Pa!" Sendou slapped his forehead!
"Finally Wild Run at the last moment? And I think you know that, right?
The previous pitching that suppressed one's full strength has lost its effect!
We have no retreat! Did he lose by missing consecutive passes? Or will he be beaten until he loses? Or should we survive this crisis?
This time it's real, everything is out of control!
The rest is up to you! Eijun!
And A Shin don't let the ball roll behind you! "Sendou's eyes are deep, he can only wait now!
"Pa!" Sawamura stepped forward again!
"Steal a base!"
At this time De Chuan launched an attack, and the third base runner directly Stealing Home!
"Bunt!"
"Ping!"
"Bunt!
Hit!!! After landing, it bounced directly over the first baseman's head, and the first baseman began to retreat to chase the ball!
It was too late for third base, and the score was scored!
Akashi's Backup Position is very timely!
Sumiyoshi has reached first base!
safe!!!
This ball became Infield Hit!!!
One point difference!!!
Now it's still one and two with one out and the reversal runner on first base!!!
Can De Chuan Middle School be reversed?!!! "
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Sawamura gasped looking at the result!
But apparently he was not affected at all!
And this shot just happened to be due to the angle and the soft ball that bounced far.
"But having said that, Akashi's Backup Position is a little weird! Normally it should be the pitcher or the right fielder who makes up first base, right?
Their pitcher didn't move but their second baseman and right fielder Backup Position were there. Is this to save the ace's energy? "After the duel ended, the commentator also began to review things that he had no time to talk about before.
"Four sticks! Backbone, Ike!"
"Four sticks! Backbone, Ike!"
The word "four sticks" in this situation feels like the lady on the broadcast bit her very hard. Maybe it's an illusion, but it's a lot of pressure for Akashi!
As the fourth member of De Chuan, his level is close to that of Tokyo Little Senior League First Team.
This kind of amateur team is still far behind the professional Little Senior League.
It can be said that if five Little Senior League who have experienced three years of training in Little League, even if they are in the first year of junior high school, are thrown into De Chuan, they will easily occupy the upper position and drive these people to the lower position.
The three members of the Knuckleball academic team in the original book are most likely substitutes for a professional team like Little Senior League. They have never been starters, and the four players are only quasi-starters.
If it were a baseball team in a junior high school club like Sawamura, there wouldn't be such a big competition.
"It doesn't matter, that guy Eijun has no problem! Now we have no choice!
Attack!!! "Sendou cheered secretly in the audience.
"Come on! Chi! We're still one point away. Let's reverse them!"
"Ah Chi! Come on!" Just after scoring a goal, De Chuan's morale was greatly boosted!
However, Akashi as long as Sawamura and Fighting Spirit, and Sendou still don't hesitate, they can still fight.
"De Chuan's morale has reached its peak!
But Akagi Middle School's trump card showed no sign of retreating!
Point to point!
What a great game! "
Lift your legs, step, throw your arms!
"Crack!"
"Good shot!"
"The swing was empty! The four-stick Ike also missed the straight ball!"
"That's it! Ei-chan!"
"Come on! Ei-chan!"
"Come on! Eijun!" Wakaba was also praying behind.
"Don't back away! Chi! I can keep up with your words!"
"Hey! Is that magnitude of change really true? Is it so exaggerated?
If it's too exaggerated, you can call it Knuckleball, right? "Ikeuchi was extremely upset, but his statement was also an exaggeration. Sawamura's ball was not as exaggerated as he said.
Sawamura's expression was serious, the corners of his mouth were slightly twitching, and he even felt a little arrogant!
Still acting like the same mold!
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Out of bounds!"
After two consecutive goals, Chi was completely at a disadvantage.
"Hey! Does the power of the ball increase with every pitch? Are you kidding!" But what Chi didn't know was that it would be difficult for the catcher behind him to catch these balls if he didn't swing the bat.
This is also Chi's swing against Quirk Ball. When he is waiting for the ball, if he takes a step back, he is likely to miss or hit Ground Ball or a fly ball, and it is still a powerless hit!
He could only be glad that he didn't take a step back!
"Not good!"
"Ping!" After Chi missed, a very high fly ball appeared.
"Catcher!!!" Everyone at Akashi and the audience who supported them were shouting!
"Crack!"
"Out!"
"Ah!!!"
This moment! The whole place was blown away!
A huge crowd was cheering!
"The game is not over yet!!!~" At this moment, De Chuan's five sticks shouted loudly and heartbreakingly!
For a moment, the sound gave people the illusion of being heard over everyone else.
The scene became quiet again, and everyone saw that the five-bat hitter's eyes were red and bloodshot, like a murderous tiger.
Everyone was shocked!
"The game isn't over yet!" he shouted again.
"How could we lose here! How could we be allowed to lose here!"
"Five bats, third baseman, Egawa-kun!"
"Five bats, third baseman, Egawa-kun!"
As if to cooperate, the lady on the radio called his name!
This scene is very intimidating!
Even Sawamura's state was interrupted, as if he had recovered from that selfless state.
Strictly speaking, Sawamura's selflessness has only disadvantages but no advantages. It is not the state of entering the zone like in Kai Wushuang or Kuroko's Basketball.
"The game is indeed not over! But since you are like this, I can't compete with you anymore!" So Sendou ruthlessly chose to walk him.
If he hadn't roared out this way to keep Sawamura in shape, Sendou would really have had a showdown with this five-stick player. To exit that selfless state, you have to pay attention to methods. If it was his Signals walk, it is very likely that Sawamura's status would decline.
Then he is seeking death. Since the five sticks helped him so much, Sendou will of course choose the method with the highest winning rate to decide the outcome.
"Intentional Walk? Akagi Middle School chose to walk this five-baller! It seems that Sendou-kun felt that the players on the court were shocked.
Indeed, the six-bat hitter behind is Fukushima or No Hit! The winning rate in a decisive battle with him is the most reliable, this is baseball! The most tactical sport! "
"It looks like the next batter will probably be the last batter of the game! Two outs and the bases loaded! There's still one out!"
