Seeing Sendou who didn't have time, he silently ran back to the left field!

Although he can paddle during training, he absolutely cannot do it during competition. He is not the big loser like Miyuki, who dares to paddle even in official competitions.

But Sendou feels very uncomfortable all over. I don't know why, but there is a very strange feeling, like being bitten by a poisonous snake, and my whole body is cold!

However, he was not allowed to think too much during the game. He tried his best to control the frequency of his mind wandering while preparing for the next defense!

After all, there are several people on base now!

If a Double Hit appears, it will be tied!

Sendou vaguely remembers that in the anime, Seidou seemed to be a lot ahead at the beginning of the game. Why is the difference now only one point?

He didn't force things he really couldn't remember, but it was true that he remembered it wrong.

The score of the first two games of the original trajectory was, Seidou scored four points in the first game and three points in the second game.

Ichidai San was two points in the first inning and three points in the second inning. Seven to five points were two points behind!

Now it's the first game and Seidou scored five points, and the second game scored two points. Ichidai San High Two points in the first game and four points in the second game now!

The score is now seven to six!

The difference between one run and two runs in a baseball game feels really big to people's senses. You can't blame Sendou for remembering it wrong.

His memory itself was very vague, so it was certainly impossible to remember such an unimportant plot, even if he had watched it no less than twenty times in his previous life because he liked it the most!

After all, who would pay so much attention to the detailed scores? After that, there was just a vague, sensory concept!

"The situation is not good! Tanba-san's mentality is broken, it will be difficult to guide! Being a catcher is hard work! It's too brain-burning!

And it's easy to get injured! "

Sendou looked at Miyuki communicating with Tanba, feeling a little gloating? Sendou himself doesn't know, after all, the current situation is not very optimistic.

But how can I put it, Sendou is very happy in that situation where Black-bellied Glasses is struggling!

Seeing that Signals was sure to be arrested, Sendou temporarily put away all his thoughts and lowered his center of gravity, like a tiger that could explode at any time.

What he didn't know was that Coach Kataoka safely handed over the situation to Miyuki. After discovering that Sendou had just 'flyed' to the right field, he had been staring at Sendou!

This caused Sendou to feel cold all over, and his instinct was to make him look around!

At this time Tanba has already begun to make a pitching posture!

At the same time as he threw a deflected Outside Corner Ball, the runners on first and third base started at the same time, and the batter also swung the bat!

Everything was in vain, Miyuki used his strong shoulder to get the runner on first base just like in the original story, and couldn't even slide the base.

Directly three outs to change the field!

Haruno in the audience sighed, and even Fumino responded with approval.

However, Coach Tianyuan was so angry that he still resented Miyuki for choosing Seidou!

Coach Kataoka raised an eyebrow, not because of Miyuki's performance, but because he had been staring at that bastard in the left field!

The reason for raising his eyebrows was that he noticed that Sendou stood up after Tanba took action!

And he also heard the subsequent results through the commentary. What does this mean? It means that his ability to judge and react to the ball is too fast!

Every time he discovers something special about Sendou, Coach Kataoka secretly curses this bastard for wasting his talent!

But whether Sendou or Miyuki, these two losers can only change them slowly.

"First, Four Balls caused a crisis situation, and then he threw some good shots and was hit hard ga?

Tanba, what have you done in the past two years? "

Senior Tanba Of course he will be scolded as soon as he returns to the bench.

If he is not injured, he has no weakness in handling the ball, but once his mentality breaks down, he will be easy to play, or who can bear it?

The real peak period should be the inning he pitched before the training camp when he faced the first graders before getting injured. The straight ball was accurate, Changeup was weird, and with that Forkball, it can be said that he was a trump card.

Although Miyuki reminded Tanba to pay attention to the importance of the straight ball, he didn't say anything more. This proves that before his injury, his straight ball was not as good as Coach Kunimoto said in the finals. From time to time, there were weaknesses in his ability to hit the ball.

But after the injury, the blank period will greatly affect the feel. Unless Amakusa and Sendou are geniuses who don't need to practice, even Major League pitchers will have some problems if they don't touch the ball for a day, let alone a month's rest.

So now Tanba is so strong and has such a glass heart, it makes people heartbroken!

"Kawakami, you will be the one to vote in the next round!"

"Hi!"

"Before the opposing pitcher calms down, knock them down in one go!

Understand the game this game! "

Now that the ace exploded, it was impossible for Coach Kataoka to keep him on the court. He lost six points in two games. If it weren't for Miyuki, the final savior would have been tied!

It's impossible for any coach to accept that his team's scoring is so strong and it's so easy to catch up.

And the wiring thing is too unstable!

So you need to take advantage of the opponent's pitchers before they recover, and use your hot hitting skills to score a few more points to defeat them!

Coach Kataoka originally wanted to say something to Sendou, but after thinking that he was the leadoff hitter, he decided to wait until the second half of the inning!

Sendou's current strength is indeed qualified to compete with the current Manaka. I hope he gets off to a good start!

What should I do if I put pressure on him, causing him to be easily eliminated and let the other pitcher find his rhythm?

Therefore, Coach Kataoka took one look and swallowed what he wanted to say!

And Sendou saw that Sunglasses Uncle obviously wanted to say something to him, but in the end he didn't say it, so he was a little confused!

"Am I being left alone?" Sendou really wanted to ask, but he still came on the field with the bat in hand!

Don't ask, just ask, Coach Kataoka is too scary, he doesn't dare!

He behaved extremely conscientiously!

"Seven bats, left fielder, Sendou-kun!"

"Seven bats, left fielder, Sendou-kun!"

To be honest, after entering high school, Sendou felt that the huge advantage he had in junior high school was gone.

Especially after seeing the high school level Changeup in this game, he firmly believed in this idea. If an out-of-form ace is so powerful, that Narumiya Mei must also be terrifying, right?

However, Sendou also knows that there is another opportunity for rapid growth after entering high school before the summer.

Gradually adapting to the rhythm and ball speed of high school baseball, formal training, and the baptism of summer games will allow me to continue to improve, but I don't know what level I can achieve at that time.

However, now Sendou still has to focus on the present!

Sendou looked back at Shirazu-senpai. The current Shirazu is not as good as the third grade center hitter.

But fortunately, the strength is balanced, and the attack strength is stronger than Kuramochi, which means that it has the ability to play in the upper position. This Seidou Batting Lineup is very scary.

Sendou, who was standing at Batter's Box, was also considering whether to trust his senior. After all, he had led Bi from childhood to adulthood, so he was not used to it for a while.

And Sendou, who felt the pressure, also knew that it was too difficult for Home Run to compete at this level.

"It's decided! If it doesn't work, try to be steady first." Finally, Sendou made up his mind and took the pose!

Otherwise, if you encounter a blanket while grazing, why don't you let it go?

"This hitter's wingspan advantage, coupled with the advantage of the outside corner of the bat, is so great!

For a hitter with such a long wingspan, Inside Corner Ball will be a weak point, but his stance is a bit far back, so it's unclear how effective he will be! "Shimizu looked at Batter's Box's Sendou, who was also sitting and thinking.

Home Run in the first game left a deep impression on him. Although the ball was a straight ball, and his advantages in possession, posture, wingspan, bat length, etc. caught them off guard, the line was not easy to hit. If it was Captain Tetsu, he would not have shot at all, and he would be out!

It is still necessary to admit that the physical characteristics are different, and the catcher who calms down will not be so easy to deal with.

What really worries Shimizu is the state of Manaka, even though he was at his peak level just after the last ball.

But can he remain calm in the face of this guy?

So,

"Crack!"

"Bad ball!"

"Hey! It's too dangerous!" The moment the ball was thrown, Jun-san wanted to seek justice for Sendou!

This ball is a bad ball in the inside corner. The key is that even if Sendou is positioned far behind, he is still very close to him. If it is the batter who is facing the front of Batter's Box, it is Hit-by-Pitch.

This ball startled Sendou, and he leaned his upper body back to hide!

Shimizu is helpless, Manaka has not recovered yet, was the last game just a flash in the pan? Are you still obsessed with this hitter?

What can he do? But it is certainly impossible to walk a first-year kid, let alone throw a straight ball into Strike Zone!

The two quickly decided on Signals, and there was no way they would back down!

What Shimizu didn't know was that Manaka had already begun to reflect on himself and caused trouble to the team again!

He is trying hard to calm down!

"Second ball! Shot!"

"Crack!"

"Bad ball!" The referee judged the ball and still gave it a bad ball!

But Shimizu was an unusual surprise. The high-speed Slider in the inner corner of the ball did not reach the level of the peak Manaka, but it was a bit close!

It can be said that it is a little better than the state before being Miyuki Home Run at the beginning.

But this ball Sendou was startled. He avoided the straight ball that was hit before. This ball, he retreated like a conditioned reflex!

"Hard balls, are they so scary? Eijun That guy is not afraid at all!

Yalu!

But that's the fun part! "

After being frightened, Sendou didn't want to become more and more frightened like ordinary people. Instead, after reacting, he licked his upper lip, revealing Fighting Spirit!

He couldn't accept that he was less courageous than Sawamura and could be intimidated so easily!

"The ball is very powerful!" Shimizu encouraged Manaka, and at the same time discovered the fear of Sendou just now!

"This kid is still in the first grade and is afraid of Inside Corner Ball!"

However, Sendou's opposite reaction to ordinary people misled Shimizu again!

"One more goal!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

But the smile he showed just now was slapped in the face again by Sendou's decisive swing of the bat!

This is the third time! But fortunately, unlike the previous two times where it was Home Run, this ball was a foul ball that was obviously not played well!

Shimizu even doubted whether his smile was a flag. Otherwise, why did he feel that the fear he had before this first-year brat was gone?

Is this the power of Flag?

"Sure enough, this Changeup is not easy to hit! He almost got out!" No matter how struggling the opponent's catcher was, Sendou also looked lucky. The opponent's hitter suddenly returned to normal, and Slider all scored Strike Zone! (You, a guy who doesn't distinguish between good and bad, are really unconvincing when you say this!)

Sendou does not differentiate between good and bad, but only during a duel. It does not mean that after the duel, he will not compare his stance to determine whether the ball he just shot was a good one!

To put it bluntly, he just played too few seats and had too little experience to distinguish between good and bad!

The fourth ball!

"It's over! Missed again!" Seeing the position of Manaka, Shimizu cried out. This is a three-bad ball!

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

"???" The next second, Shimizu was surprised to find that the cute first grader actually swung the bat!

In this way, it is both bad and good, but it is in their advantage. Happiness comes too suddenly!

But Coach Tawara could see something through Sendou's annoyed expression. After all, he had so much experience, and he was a professional coach and not one of those Nagano coaches!

While Rei-chan holds his forehead with one hand, the placement of Sendou is as troublesome as Miyuki's weakness of withering without a runner in the scoring circle.

There is no way, Sendou is indeed talented, but because he lacks experience and cannot accurately distinguish between good and bad balls like his ball-handling talent, he can only be targeted.

Of course, you have to be strong in targeting. If Home Run is beaten like those Nagano gang, then you can only give it a walk!

At this time, Coach Tawara passed what he observed to the field with Signals.

(Actually, they are told to throw a bad ball that seems good but not bad, and test it out, but the catcher can understand what he is trying to test based on the previous situation!)

And Sendou was also helpless about being chased. The trajectory of Slider just now had some impact.

So he sighed and picked up the bat with determination!

At the same time, Ichidai San, who received the instruction, shot and started preparing for the fifth ball!

"Phew!"

"Huh?"

The moment the opponent was about to release the ball, Sendou discovered that the ball was coming from the outside corner again. He had made up his mind before he stepped on Batter's Box. When he was being chased, he used Ground Ball in the direction of third base to stabilize his hand and use his footwork to ensure that he was on base.

After all, he is the leadoff hitter to ensure that the best way to get on base is in the opposite direction to third base. Although this guy can't bunt, facing the current Manaka, he is 100% sure, but it is still relatively easy to sweep it into Ground Ball with the bat.

In contrast, the team now needs to urgently defeat Manaka. They just watched Manaka start to recover, so they can only make this decision!

Sendou took another shot at a bad ball, and the ball landed smoothly in bounds, although the landing point was not very good.

However, this is not a problem!

"Ku! ku! ku! ku! ku!" Everyone in the field was stunned. Even Oomae was a little distracted when Sendou flew to first base!

"S... safe!" Even the linesman was a little stunned. He had never seen this speed with his own eyes.

He wanted to say, "Son, you should run the 50-meter and 100-meter track and field.

What kind of baseball are you playing? This is delaying people! "

There is a status other than today! I finished coding so far ahead of schedule. I originally thought this section would be quite difficult to write, but I didn't expect it to take more than an hour less than the estimated time.

I'm going to have dinner, guys, and I'm asking for votes before I leave. See you tomorrow.
