Go back to a few minutes ago,
De Chuan called a timeout!
"What should we do now?" The first person to ask was the catcher who should be in charge of the overall situation, Horii!
This is not because Horii has really lost his sense of proportion, but he has to take care of his pitcher's emotions.
Baseball is a sport that starts with the pitcher. If something goes wrong with the pitcher as the source, everything will be in vain.
In particular, their team only has one ace, and Japan's ace plot is very heavy.
If there is an absolute ace, then the playing time of other pitchers will be seriously insufficient, and there will be no possibility of a tough battle in terms of pressure resistance, experience, etc. Unless that pitcher has a big heart like Sendou, Sawamura, especially Sendou, there will be almost no mental state.
Because of this, you can only rely on this one person at critical moments.
Similarly, the coaching staff did not send anyone to pass the order. There is no doubt that walking is the best way.
But if there is a problem with the trump card mentality, then we can only bite the bullet and fight Sendou!
Just like Miyuki, do you really think he won't walk people?
Miyuki has walked people before, but Seidou is not allowed to walk. If he walks, the pitcher will self-destruct!
No matter Furuya or Sawamura, they are not the kind of people who can adjust their emotions and Fighting Spirit. If they walk people and their momentum is gone, the game will be over.
The so-called walks hurt morale and momentum. In the final analysis, only the pitcher is hurt. The self-confidence that has always been there has led to the ace's self-esteem being very high.
Professional players are basically not affected by Home Run because they are used to it and know that this kind of thing is inevitable.
But those students, especially those with some talents, grew up next to a group of ordinary people. The self-confidence they have accumulated over time is impossible to get used to. In addition, they are young, so they are prone to psychological problems.
The situation at this time was different from the second game. In the second game, I was really scared, and the game had just started.
This is a critical moment, and if we win it decisively, we can win the game.
A walk at this time means a complete admission of defeat.
This is the hardest thing to accept for a child who is very competitive. This is a middle school student who would rather fight to the death to retain glory than retreat!
"Intentional Walk!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Horii finished speaking, Kanda took the initiative to ask without any hesitation!
Horii was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was already prepared to die with Kanda!
"Isn't it incredible? That's right! This is not like me at all.
Although I don't want to admit it, this guy and I are not in the same dimension now!
To be honest, I already have a bit of a psychological shadow on him!
But even so, I still want to win!
End the game before it's his next turn!!!
If possible, end it in the second half of the inning!!! "
Here, for victory!
Ace swallowed his pride!
This result is the best for De Chuan, Sendou is walked, and there is no problem with the ace's mentality.
Admitting failure often requires greater courage than dying in battle.
Just like in reality, cowards choose to commit suicide to escape reality.
Therefore, there is a saying that sometimes it takes more courage to live than to die.
Because in that case, a happy death would be painless, but living would have to endure hellish torture. It was simply impossible to die!
"Kanda!..." I didn't expect that my partner would be so brave, Horii also secretly made up his mind!
"Huh! Now that it's like this! You have to win even if you die!" Taking a deep breath, Horii finished this sentence with great seriousness, and then turned around resolutely.
"Bad ball!"
"Four Balls!"
"Four Balls! This way both parties will share!
Unexpectedly, De Chuan made such a choice in this situation. This puts a lot of psychological pressure on the pitcher!
With such great determination, De Chuan's determination to win is evident. Be careful, Akagi Middle School! "
Even without the commentary reminder, Sendou can still feel it!
Kanda looked at himself with a sad and desperate look, but without any fear or regret, which were negative emotions that symbolized mental problems.
And all the body language of Kanda expresses a meaning! I want to win, and I don't care about anything. I just want to win this game, and I will win even if I die!
At this moment, Sendou knew that the walk was not the will of the team, but the will of the pitcher.
"Forget it! The same score is okay!"
Just like Sendou said, Sawamura was struck out, although the look of Sawamura being struck out was still funny, but.
"It's not good! This pitcher's condition has improved to a higher level!" Sendou took a deep look and walked down Pitcher's Mound's Kanda with an expressionless face.
Kanda's condition is unprecedentedly good, and even the ball speed has increased significantly. Imagine what it would be like to have the average speed of a straight ball similar to the previous highest speed.
Just know what information Kanda's three straight balls that struck out Sawamura revealed.
But the next moment Sendou laughed!
Because, he saw Sawamura's expression changed!
It should be said that not only the expression, but also the character, the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly disappeared as if it had never existed!
Obviously Sawamura felt the momentum contained in those three straight balls!
I feel everything Sendou feels!
The kind of determination that the other party can give up everything at all costs if they want to win.
But, what kind of person is Sawamura?
Anyone who has seen it knows that when he shook hands with Raichi Todoroki for the first time, Sawamura was no less shocked than he is now!
And what was Sawamura's performance at that time?
Feeling the opponent's determination to inject baseball, it inspired Sawamura's Fighting Spirit!
I definitely don't want to lose to his Fighting Spirit!
The same is true today. The opponent's state and determination inspired Fighting Spirit of Sawamura. It can be said that Fighting Spirit of Sawamura will not lose to Kanda at all!
"Good shot!"
"The batter is out!!!"
"Change the scene!"
In response, three consecutive strikeouts!
Easily solved the opponent's lower line attack!
You must know the pure personal attack power. Now De Chuan's lower position will not lose to one or two sticks!
It can be seen how far the state of Sawamura has reached!
Different from last year, last year Akashi had a group explosion, but strictly speaking, this group explosion did not include Sawamura. At most, he was a little more stable in controlling the ball.
Because the catcher couldn't catch his ball, he couldn't completely explode. So last summer, Tenzawa Village was in good condition, but he could only feel the frustration of being unable to use his strength!
But the person squatting in front of him now is Sendou, a man who can catch any kind of ball!
If the light wheel catches the ball, Sendou will not miss it even if Miyuki misses the ball continuously.
After all, his reaction and Dynamic Vision are not comparable to Miyuki, but as a catcher, Sendou cannot compare with Miyuki.
Even if he learned faster than Miyuki, he had only played four rounds in official competitions, not to mention that he hadn't used it for many years, right?
"Extra Innings! The game has entered Extra Innings!!!
And the condition of the pitchers on both sides is obviously different from before.
It seems that the game will not be easy to determine the winner.
But Akagi Middle School has the presence of Sendou-kun, and the pressure is still on the side of De Chuan. Let us adjust our mood and prepare to watch the next game! "
What only Sendou can see is the look in Sawamura's eyes!
Anyone who has read the original work will know that this is the look in Sawamura's eyes during his sophomore year of high school!
Or rather, it's the look in Narumiya Mei's eyes!!!
The chin is slightly raised, and the eyes give people a condescending and domineering feeling.
Sawamura is really like Narumiya Mei in some aspects!!!
But the difference is that Narumiya Mei gives people a feeling of arrogance and coldness, while Sawamura gives people a feeling of majesty!
Maybe it's because of the different eye color!
Although Sendou sometimes looks at people like this, Sendou's eyes put more pressure on people!
It's just that no one has seen it, because Sendou rarely shows paranoia about one thing, and most of them give people a gentle feeling!
"This pitcher is very interesting!" At this time, Takashima Rei in the stands had some interest in Sawamura!
It's normal for players to be in good shape sometimes and sometimes not.
But the state of Sawamura is obviously inspired by the opponent's Fighting Spirit, which is interesting. This is also a trump card qualification!
And it's a rare one!
This kind of person can maintain a strong Fighting Spirit at all times and often becomes more courageous with setbacks.
Because of this, Takashima Rei has decided that she will come to watch the next game.
She had already completed her observation of Sendou by the end of the game.
After all, we have decided to recruit Sendou at all costs. Today also proved that Sendou's performance was not accidental, so his actual level will not matter until he joins Seidou!
But today there was another person that she didn't pay attention to originally, so she decided to try it again!
The competition has entered a real fever pitch, and De Chuan as a whole gives people the feeling of seeing Bayonet Fighting!
The ball also began to be mainly straight balls, with Changeup interspersed from time to time. After the original catcher retired, the new catcher's distribution, although not brilliant, was not so rigid!
In addition, the straight ball is really difficult to hit today, so much so that sometimes I know that I can't hit any ball well!
He was suppressed by someone's strength, or to be precise, by the pitcher's will!
However, things in the world are so dramatic!
"Ping!"
"Crack!"
"Enter!!!
Extra Innings Eighth Inning In the first half, eight-bat Takada hit Home Run in left field with two outs!!!
Three to two!!!
The first to score is, Akagi Middle School!!! "
The situation is out of control!
Takada This damn fat guy has been eating for three years without open business!
This guy's batting average is very low, very low, but he really can't stand the hit!
The place has gone crazy!!!
With the condition of the pitchers on both sides, everyone thought they were about to enter the pitching station. However, not long after they finished speaking, they received a slap on their backhand!
Akashi opened up the situation, but the opponent still had a chance to say Yunala!
But the pressure is really on De Chuan's side!
Although the pressure is there, it will take at least 3 rounds before it is Sendou's turn. This is too sudden!
However, Kanda was still not affected. All he could do was throw the ball into his glove, so Takeda was struck out and the game was changed!
However, everyone understands that this is really going to happen!
Sawamura's exaggerated drifting ball cannot be seen by the audience from a distance.
But even the base fingers on the sidelines and even the bench are starting to see the ball move.
This kind of ball is simply not something that people (junior high school students) can hit.
(Just ignore him!)
Sendou: "Who are you saying is not a human being? Come here and make it clear!"
...)
"Crack!"
"The last straight ball! The game is over! Three to two!
Although due to the venue, Akashi was very unsuitable for the game after the rain at the start!
But as the game progressed, they won the game tenaciously and defeated their strong enemy De Chuan Middle School to advance to Semifinals.
It can even be said that they have won De Chuan, and they have already entered the door of Kanto Tournament!!! "
"Hahaha! Scared me to death! Well done!!!"
Do you think this is what Sawamura said? No no no! This is Coach Nakanishi who has been hiding on the sidelines for a whole game!
Coach Nakanishi is usually a very majestic and calm person, but who made this game related to his precious apprentice?
As the number one immortal, Coach Nakanishi can be said to be at the level of a crazy fan, and the usual ones have long been forgotten!
Anyway, in such a small place, you don't have to worry about being recognized!
However, what he never expected was that someone who knew him was not far from him!
"This is...! Coach Nakanishi of Wildcats Little League? "At this time Takashima Rei couldn't believe his eyes.
She can fit an egg in her mouth! (Who makes people talk small?)
Coach Nakanishi's level is very clear to Takashima Rei. When he just retired and returned to China, countless top high schools and universities tried their best to invite him!
However, Takashima Rei couldn't compare that honor-filled, unsmiling famous coach, champion coach, and Major League's former professional star with the man in front of him who looked more exaggerated than a 300-pound fat man!
"If Sendou would pitch the ball himself, these guys wouldn't even get a hit! "Coach Nakanishi didn't notice the stunned Takashima Rei at all. Looking at the figure in the field, he showed endless regret!
Of course, his voice was too low, even the people sitting next to him couldn't hear it, let alone Takashima Rei!
"No, he should inherit my mantle as a pitcher! Really!"
Although Takashima Rei didn't hear what the other party said, Coach Nakanishi just called Sendou's name, but she heard it clearly!
"That Coach Nakanishi is actually a fan of Sendou-kun? What is going on?
But this is a rare opportunity! "Thinking of this, Takashima Rei decided to go over and talk!
You must know that the Wildcats are very popular. Even if they enter Little Senior League in junior high school, many of those players will follow Coach Nakanishi's advice!
In other words, although there is no way to persuade him to leave his team, if Coach Nakanishi is solved, it will be equivalent to having a steady stream of backbone of the team in the future.
Thinking about Wildcats Little League's tactical execution ability and tacit understanding, it saves a lot of running-in time, right?
As long as other people have a tacit understanding with people who are born in wild cats, it will be a great thing.
Although the last few years entering high school have been bad years for wildcats, it has no impact at all.
It's really hard to write about rookies pecking each other. The game has to be bad but it can't be impressive. It really takes your life!
But now De Chuan has completely lost its use value. One of the last values is to let Takashima Rei see Sawamura. Otherwise, it is almost summer preliminaries, and it is logically impossible to watch so many games in a row.
The second final value is the contact between Takashima Rei and Coach Nakanishi. You will know what impact this has in the future.
I can't spoil it, but this foreshadowing will soon show that it is not like Coach Nakanishi and Miyuki. I haven't thought about the specific activation time. The earliest it will be after a few preliminaries in the summer of my freshman year.
This is still the earliest.
High school is really coming.
Keep asking for votes.
