"That guy is talented enough, I guarantee you!"
Hearing Sendou's assurance, Teacher Sano smiled slightly and felt completely relieved!
Of course no one will say these words to anyone else!
Not long after Sendou left, Sano made arrangements for Practice Match with the Tokumei Academy as he had talked with Sendou before!
Teacher Sano hung up the phone and looked at the door of Staff Room, suddenly his heart moved.
"Sendou, that guy, has been spending more and more time practicing recently.
Think about it carefully, last year, that guy found it troublesome to even go to the stadium and watch them practice!
If you say it, it can be done!
Let's take this team across the country! Sendou! "
Except for Teacher Sano, Staff Room, which was already empty, echoed these words!
"One! Two! Three! Four!"
The players on Sports Field shouted slogans as if in response!
This autumn's battle list happens to be released on the same day as Deming Practice Match!
Teacher Sano's luck finally exploded. In the first few rounds, Akagi Middle School was almost from an unknown school and had no strong opponents.
Everyone was in a good mood because of this, feeling that their team was finally about to turn a corner!
The time has come to Practice Match day!
"Today is the same as before, enjoy the game, no bunting!
Have fun!!! "Sendou Unexpectedly, everyone issued such a pre-war declaration!
"Be happy or something like that!
... We have been working hard! Inside! "After hearing what Sendou said, everyone was not used to it! Even a little overwhelmed!
Everyone has worked desperately this year, but they are too weak so they can only practice to death!
Precisely because practicing to the death prevents them from seeing their surroundings, except for the joy of victory, they have completely forgotten that the baseball game itself is a very interesting sport.
So Sendou hopes to relax and enjoy the game this time Practice Match!
"Enjoying the game is an emotion that only the strong deserve to enjoy! So enjoy the game!
The moment the bat hits the ball, it's the highest, isn't it?
We are strong now!!! "
"We are strong!!! (Quote the words of Slam Dunk!)" Everyone finally shouted wildly!
"Come on!!!"
"Oh!!!"
"They are so powerful! Those guys!" Someone on the other side sighed when they heard the Akagi Middle School players yelling in unison with such momentum!
"That's right! Those guys were pretty bad at fighting last year!"
"They were a bunch of beginners last summer!
What a terrible growth! "The people talking about Deming have already started chatting.
Neither Deming nor Akashi intends to reveal too many tactics, but they will not let anything slip during the game!
What's more, Autumn Tournament according to the schedule, unless the two teams reach the finals, it can be said that they will not meet!
And this is impossible!
"Sendou-kun! What magic did you use to transform this team?
Just like you shouted, you are strong!
No team will dare to underestimate you anymore!
With your strong batting, let's sharpen our ace and pitching staff! Otherwise next summer will be terrible! "Coach Yashiro sighed inwardly after hearing the contestants' conversation!
The game begins!
Tokumei Academy First Attack, Akagi Middle School Batting Second.
"Enjoy it! Speaking of which...
Ha!
I will let them fight out, everyone on the defensive, please!!! "Sawamura said to himself, as if he was struck by something, and shouted this sentence that he would only shout after high school.
"Yo west!!!"
"Ei-chan! Enjoy the game!!!"
"Enjoy it? It's fun!" Hearing Sawamura's promotion, Tokumei Academy's bat hitter was also infected in his heart!
"Come on! Akashi!!!" Finally, he shouted passionately, announcing the official start of the game!
After passing through a lot of Practice Match recently, Takeda has also regained the feeling of being a catcher and Sawamura's throwing and catching partner!
"First goal!"
"Crack!"
"Good shot!"
"Inside Corner Ball!"
"This guy's ball control is better than last year! And the ball speed is not slow. Is it 120? That ball just now!" This is what Deming's hitter said about Sawamura!
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Ping!"
"Crack!"
"Out!"
Finally, Infield Fly was played!
Two bats hit the infield Ground Ball, two out!
However, the three-stick hit Infield Hit, and the four-stick attack continued. As expected, Sawamura's pitching is not easy to get used to, but it is not completely impossible to hit!
Sure enough, the five sticks were solved!
The perfect opportunity in the first inning was wasted, but the batter of the Tokumei Academy was extremely relaxed, at least it was not difficult to score!
And the game also came to the attack of Akashi!
Since bunting is banned, they also plan to completely listen to Sendou's advice to enjoy the game, so everyone plans to compete with each other on the mat!
Akashi, who has been playing dull games, seems to have some energy!
Just like some carefree children playing on the field for fun!
Deming's players also saw their expressions, there was no trace of nervousness!
But I don't know why, but I feel that the other person will not become weaker because of this kind of relaxation!
I felt validated quickly!
"Ping!"
"Passed it! Nice job! Double!"
Ono hit the mat perfectly for the first time!
Then,
"Ping!"
"Bang!" Fly ball in the outfield!
"Out!"
"GO!"
"Although I'm told that I can't bunt, I also want to try a fly ball!" Aoki murmured in a low voice!
"Safe!"
Actually,
"I also want to hit an outfield hit, damn it!" Aoki also complained to himself in a rare moment!
That's one out, third base!
"Ping!"
"Yo west! Beautiful blow! Beautiful Timely Hit!"
With this Timely Hit, Ono at third base leisurely returned to home plate to score!
Kondo also quickly ran to second base!
"Uh! What's going on? This team!" Coach Yashiro, who was smiling just now, felt as if he was being strangled by the neck!
Coach Yashiro also discovered a problem. Although he knew that Akashi's lane line had become stronger, it was still surprising to see such a blow in the first game!
Although the score of Akashi and Practice Match was exaggerated, their opponents were weak after all, and they themselves were able to end the game early!
Such a weak team simply can't see the strength of Akashi's line play, but combined with last year's line play, he thinks it won't be too exaggerated!
But the facts gave him a big slap!
"Ah! youxia!!!"
"Good shot!"
"Batter is out!" After the slap, Sawamura's strikeout gave him another laugh!
"This guy hasn't changed at all!"
"Ping!"
"Another hit!" But the subsequent hit of Oomura made him put away his smile again!
That's two outs with runners on first and third base!
He understood clearly that except for Sawamura, everyone else in this line has become stronger!
It's simply an evolution!!!
Then Oyama still hit a single!
That's two to zero!
Runners on first and second base!
Just when Coach Yashiro and even Sendou felt that this attack was about the same!
"Boom!"
"Ping!!!"
"Crack!"
"In! Three-Run Home Run!" Akio hit when the opponent's pitcher wavered.
"Yo west! That's 5 to 0!"
"Akio That guy finally hit the ball!"
"Now it's three strikes!"
"Ping!"
"Huh?" The pitcher was already on the verge of collapse. If you include this ball, it was the seventh time he was hit! (This is counting hits with the bat, not hits!)
"Crack!"
"Out!"
Unfortunately, the position of this ball was not very good and it was caught by the outfielder!
The pitcher finally took a breath!
Got 5 hits in this inning alone!
"Three outs to change the game!"
"I don't care!"
"What a pity!"
Everyone is also comforting Takeda!
"A Shin! You can ask Eijun to shoot one more inside corner. If the score difference is too big, just focus on the center!" At this time, Sendou hugged Takeda's shoulders and whispered!
"Huh?"
"Practice more fielding, and I don't want this game to end early. Let the game last seven rounds and let everyone have a good time!
In addition, that guy Eijun has been a little carried away recently! "
"You are avenging your personal revenge!" Of course Takeda wouldn't say this out loud, he didn't want to die!
"Okay! It's none of my business if you lose in the end!" Takeda agreed!
"Don't worry! It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. The purpose of today is for everyone to have fun, practice defense, and suppress Eijun's momentum!"
Sendou It's okay to say so, and the five-point difference is enough!
In this way, the game begins to develop in the direction of practice and exhibition games!
But as long as the opponent doesn't react and end it early, it doesn't matter!
So,
"Ping!"
"Crack!"
"Out!"
Although it is geared towards exhibition games, Akashi's defense has been upgraded, and you won't miss any hits if you don't play well!
But even so, the opponent still kept hitting out, and the score began to rise!
In the second game, I don't know what Coach Yashiro said, but the opponent's pitcher also started to have some Fighting Spirit!
However, it is still a bit too young for Akashi, who is already so impressive!
The scores of both sides of the game began to rise alternately. In the final third inning, Tokumei Academy began to change pitchers!
Now that the game is like this, practicing the pitching array is also a good experience, and the ace really can't hold on!
The change of pitcher, the new guy's psychological quality is very good, and he is playing from the lower position. Even so, it only slightly slowed down Akashi's momentum!
The score remained at three points and did not open up, but the subsequent high-up line hit the pitcher again!
Since the opponent was also scoring, the point difference stopped expanding again after reaching four points!
The court echoed with the sounds of various blows, and Sawamura's tenacity has always withstood the test.
Especially because he loves to show off in front of his friends, he never wavers even if he keeps losing points!
Finally, in the second half of the sixth game, Akashi's line broke out completely. A wave of seven consecutive hits started by Ono pushed the score to seven points!!!
Under tremendous pressure, Deming's line completely collapsed!
The game ended without scoring any points in the first half of the seventh game!
Deming had one extra round of attacks, and since Akashi was the leader, he missed the last round of attacks, so Deming also saved his life!
The final score was fifteen to eight!!!
It can be said to be an extremely exciting strike battle!
It's a pity that there are no spectators, otherwise it would be a very entertaining game!
In this game, Coach Yashiro completely recognized the evolution of Akashi's line play. It can be said that it is no weaker than last year's De Chuan Batting Line, and is even a little stronger!
Moreover, this year De Chuan is also facing a rental situation. Although many main players have stayed in the team, the weakening of their combat power has been limited. However, it is not clear to what extent the team has integrated.
But after all, the Akashi in front of him has not changed a single person compared to last year. The gap in this tacit understanding is terrifying!
Both sides of the game had a great time, but Tokumei Academy's pitching staff was a little uncomfortable.
And Sawamura looked tired, but this guy definitely wouldn't be hit, after all, he couldn't throw the ball with all his strength.
And Sendou also joined the team and became his tool, cough cough cough! Full-time catcher! He is not afraid of anyone!
"Today was a really good game! We are very happy! The rest is to cheer each other on!
Autumn, no, see you next summer!
You must watch our match against De Chuan. Also, let's play De Chuan next summer! Sendou-kun! "
Finally, when shaking hands, Coach Yashiro and Sendou said this!
Tokumei Academy They will meet De Chuan Middle School in the third round!
And Coach Yashiro knows that it will be difficult for him to defeat them and enter the country in the past few years.
And it is not an exaggeration to say that Akashi is the strongest team in school history.
Coach Yashiro He saw it in this team, breaking De Chuan Middle School's hope of monopolizing the right to play in national competitions!
So he doesn't mind becoming a pioneer to help Akashi obtain information about De Chuan Middle School!
"Thank you very much! Coach Yashiro!" Sendou and Teacher Sano bowed their thanks to Coach Yashiro at the same time!
"Thank you!!!" Others at Akashi also bowed together after seeing it!
"It doesn't have to be like this! Be careful on the road!"
"Goodbye!" Akashi said everyone got on the bus!
No team heard any news about this exciting and exciting game!
Since Coach Yashiro is determined to help him, of course he will not leak it, and Sendou, an old yinbi, has been hiding his plans and only looking forward to overthrowing De Chuan Middle School next summer, let alone that.
Although it is only autumn now, Akashi everyone can already feel that the whole country is waving to them!
"We will definitely go back across the country next year!"
The sky seemed to be filled with the voices of everyone in Akashi!
"This should be the layout for autumn! Little Sano!" The day before Autumn Tournament's first battle, Sendou and Teacher Sano discussed Autumn Tournament's arrangements and ideas alone!
"So you've thought about it a long time ago! You probably haven't told anyone about this! Then next summer will be interesting!
In such a short time, I think De Chuan will be caught off guard!
And we can enjoy collecting information about them this fall! "Teacher Sano blushed slightly with excitement!
