"Sendou! How about you try switching pitchers? Give me your backhand!" Jun-san joked after stroking his beard.
"Absolutely not! I won't do it even to the death!"
"Why do you have such a deep obsession? The same goes for pitchers and catchers." Miyuki also spoke.
"How about you think about getting a hit?
Today is still No Hit...! "Sendou was not so easy to talk to Miyuki, and gave him a sideways look.
"Huh?" Miyuki didn't expect Sendou to suddenly hit his heart.
Immediately, Sendou glanced at him and raised his eyes provocatively.
Miyuki knows that what he said is that it was you who hurt his heart first.
Miyuki asked this question a long time ago, and Sendou also answered patiently, so speaking up at this time is obviously looking for trouble.
"Well, forget it! Anyway, you have the power of the ball, but you don't know how to control the ball, and there is Changeup." The outfielder's ball eye cannot measure the speed, so even though they know it is Fastball and have the power of the ball, others don't really want him to change his position.
And this thing can't be forced. Although they didn't say it, the seniors also knew that Sendou must have some reason why he didn't want to take up the two positions of surrender and capture.
Miyuki, who was heartbroken, had already begun to prepare. After all, he was the leadoff hitter. Even if he didn't hit for another day, he would be laughed to death.
This situation, coincidentally, if it is Seidou First Attack, both teams will start with six bats.
The last round, that is, the second half of the third round, Seidou, ended with five sticks, and now the fourth round, Hengxue, also ended with five sticks.
"In the second half of the fourth round, Seidou High School's attack."
"Six sticks, catcher, Miyuki-kun!"
"Six sticks, catcher, Miyuki-kun!"
"Ping!"
"Crack!"
"Ah! Pitcher Line Drive!" Miyuki couldn't believe it himself.
This guy lasted one goal...
"Pfft!" Sendou took a sip of sports drink in the preparation area and sprayed when he saw this scene!
However, only this kid can do things like take drinks to the preparation area.
"Ah haha, how shameless!"
"What exactly do you want to perform? Is it your debut as a Kaixing?
How about just making a funny collection? "
"You kid!" Miyuki knew that he would definitely be ridiculed, but this was too harsh.
"Well..., Fumino, there should be a video!" Sendou saw that Miyuki dared to talk back, so he thought briefly and said
"...! I was wrong, please forgive me!" Miyuki was frightened...
It's not unreasonable for Miyuki to be timid. Take a look at how much inventory there is in Sendou's aibo.
Miyuki is often borrowed to watch...
"Seven sticks, strong hand, Sendou-kun!"
"Seven sticks, middle hand, Sendou-kun!"
"Okay, it's your turn, hurry up and get on the stage!" For Miyuki, this broadcast is simply a life-saving straw!
Miyuki also understands a little bit the feelings of those who were bullied by him, but he just doesn't change. If he changes, won't there be no fun in life?
"Ha! Okay!" Sendou came on the stage with satisfaction. (These two sluts!)
"By the way, that guy's ball control is not that good. He will probably decide the outcome with a straight ball!" Miyuki seemed to have thought of something, turned around and put a hand on Sendou's shoulder and said to him.
"Hoo? Then you still hit that curveball!" Sendou glanced at him heartily without turning around.
"..." Miyuki didn't expect that the other party would prick her heart when she was serious.
"What a mouthful! (Shut up!) Hurry up and get on the stage! Don't be killed so easily!"
"Well, don't worry! I'll be careful." Sendou replied seriously.
"Ha! This guy!" Miyuki shook his head slightly.
"Confirmed again, this guy is the same type of person as me." Miyuki didn't look back this time.
They are informal and casual at ordinary times, but reliable at critical moments. This is what the two of them have in common.
However, the difference is that Sendou can do two things at once, being extremely serious on the inside, and can switch between casual and serious appearance at will.
This is also the reason why Miyuki was hurt by Sendou when he was obviously speaking serious words.
But Miyuki just can't get angry with him. You know he is very serious, what else can you say to him?
"The one-out hitter who performed extremely well on both offense and defense today is Sendou-kun, the mainstay!
The last time he hit the mat, Sendou-kun hit a triple!
That pass in the defense that just ended impressed me so much! "After the commentator briefly introduced the situation, he chatted with the guest next to him.
"Yes!"
"This hitter has no information at all. He swung the bat on the first pitch of his last at-bat, and he has no clue about his hitting habits.
The only thing I know is that this guy is very powerful and will fly very far when hit, and you must not let him get on base, so be careful! "Catcher Shirau is also extremely afraid of Sendou among Batter's Box.
"First goal! Slider from the inside corner! Unfortunately, Ball Trajectory missed the ball a little!
The batter is completely silent!
Hengxue's throw didn't intend to give the opponent any time to breathe, and he immediately threw the second ball!
Voted! "
"Bad ball!"
"That's it! Changeup are you here to disrupt my rhythm?
But it makes no sense without entering Strike Zone.
What to do with a good shot? "
After two consecutive Changeups, the situation became unfavorable for arrest.
"The first ball in the last game was an obviously bad ball and was taken directly, but this time it was not taken.
Sure enough, the last one who played the seat was guessed Ball Trajectory?
Next ball, here! "
"Phew!"
"Crack!"
"Good shot!" Another outside corner Changeup.
"This guy just wanted to swing the bat? But why did he stop?" Hengxue's catcher also began to become suspicious.
"Changeup scored three goals in a row! What a trouble!" Sendou's mind sank.
"That's not good! That guy Sendou has completely given up on Changeup. It wouldn't be funny if he was discovered." Head Manager Oota said.
Head Manager Oota is also very clear about Sendou's principles for selecting balls, and this enthusiastic adult likes to take everything at face value.
"This makes me more sure that they will use a straight ball to decide the outcome with that bastard!
Probably! "Miyuki interfaced.
"Huh?" Head Manager Oota played the role of a confused mascot.
In fact, Miyuki is not too low, but the words have already been spoken, so let's be tough again.
Even if no breathing time is given, there is actually enough time for Sendou to think between the two goals.
"The next ball will be a straight ball from an inside angle, right? Probably!" Sendou murmured in his heart!
Sendou's idea is that there is no harm in taking a gamble.
As Sendou murmured, the fourth ball had been thrown.
Sendou, who made up his mind, retreated...
"?"
And Sendou, who was ready to swing, suddenly found that the ball was coming towards him!
"Ping!" Sendou, who didn't have much experience in hitting, was a little panicked for a moment, and his body's instinct reacted.
Force the ball out!
"Out of bounds!"
After being beaten out, Sendou lost his balance and sat on the ground!
"Hey! Are you okay!" Jun-san was the first to shout, and the others were also startled.
Hengxue's ace Ino took off his hat and apologized. It was obvious that the ball was missed.
But since Sendou doesn't have much experience yet, he can only rely on instinct in this situation. Just like Tanba's first grade instinct is to avoid the curve ball, but Sendou's physical instinct is to take the initiative and attack, nothing more.
There is no way to control this unconscious movement.
This also leads to the fact that a ball that is dodged is a bad ball but is not dodged and is Hit-by-Pitch, and becomes the second good ball in chasing Sendou.
"Are you okay? Does your body hurt anywhere?" Shirazu-senpai, who was next to hit, ran up from the preparation area and asked to check Sendou's condition to see if it was twisted somewhere.
"It's okay, it didn't hit me, I was shocked!" Sendou really didn't expect the ball to miss so much.
You must know that due to the long wingspan, Inside Corner Ball will not become a weakness. Sendou's position is in the middle of Batter's Box, not close to the forefront of Home Plate like other hitters.
"Stand up and move around to see if there is any discomfort, such as a twist or something." Shirazu-senpai still needs to confirm clearly.
Seidou has faced quite a lot of injuries. Senior Chris has been there for three years, and Senior Tanba. In addition, Sendou's actions just now looked scary, so everyone is more nervous about this kind of thing.
Many second graders don't know about Senior Chris, but Shirazu and several First Team are different.
After all, the current main force of First Team is a good friend of Senior Chris, and he will hear it more or less, but in the two or three years when the second army or even the second army is not, there will be less communication.
After all, Seidou is rich enough to form three teams even if the first grade is deducted, and there are ninety-five with the first grade!
Seeing the persistence of the seniors, and even a group of seniors from the bench came over, Sendou could only stand up and move around.
And Sendou is not completely reluctant. He doesn't want to get himself injured with sequelae by playing baseball.
"It's no different than usual, there's nothing wrong with it, I'm not vulnerable to that level yet.
And it didn't hit me just now, so don't worry. "After feeling it carefully, Sendou spoke to the seniors who looked worried.
"Then let's do it. If you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me! You bastard!" Jun-san confirmed that everything was fine and then nodded at Coach Kataoka.
Coach Kataoka also nodded to show that he understood.
"Don't worry! Jun-san! I'm not the kind of person who won't say anything about my injuries!"
I can only say that it is great that Sendou said this so early, otherwise it would definitely touch the hearts of a group of people.
So the game starts again...
This sudden situation disrupted all the previous arrangements, whether it was the catcher's distribution or Sendou's guessing.
Sendou doesn't know if the catcher will change the distribution of the ball, and Hengxue Chucat doesn't know how much impression Sendou still has of those few balls just now. (To put it bluntly, it's just guessing each other's thoughts, and the influence of Ball Trajectory.)
At this time, Sendou had given up guessing, thinking about nothing and relying on his own body to judge. That is, he changed from the guessing style of Miyuki to the beast style of Raichi Todoroki.
The catcher decided to continue with the previous distribution of the ball.
Although the pitcher made a explosive throw, the Strike Zone ball he originally wanted turned into a foul ball, which was also an unexpected surprise. Moreover, this bad ball gave the batter the illusion that Strike Zone had a very large space. (Typical King predicted the move, but the opponent decided to be reckless.)
This batting also began a tense moment, with two good balls and two bad balls, and the batter had no way out.
"Curveball inside corner from Strike Zone to bad zone!"
It is obvious that Sendou does not distinguish between good and bad balls, it has not been exposed yet.
"Inside Corner Ball? No, this ball is..." Sendou resisted the desire to take action after seeing the ball.
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
This way the ball count is full and both sides have no way out.
Even this situation is beneficial to the batter, because Hengxue doesn't want to let Sendou get on base. (Everyone should think so when seeing that speed, right?)
Sendou thought so too, and he didn't think Hengxue's catcher would guess that he thought so, and then use a bad ball to miss him.
"I saw an interesting statistic here.
At present, although Sendou-kun has not played many high school games, including today's game, it is the fourth game.
Started four consecutive foreign games,
His batting average is over 90%. "While pitching Signals to discuss the last ball, the commentator made a shocking revelation.
"More than 90%?" At this moment, Hengxue's trump card's pupils suddenly enlarged, and he was extremely surprised.
Not only him, but also the players in Hengxue were shocked.
A high batting average in the short term is nothing new, but starting all of them is.
This means that except for the four bad ones, Hit-by-Pitch and the like, he hit almost all of them.
It cannot prove that Sendou is infinitely strong, but it can prove that he is definitely a strong hitter.
And a very lucky slugger.
However, after the simple surprise, Hengxue's catcher Shirau quickly returned to normal and hit Signals.
The ace Ino nodded, took a deep breath, and started pitching.
"Ball Trajectory has to keep it down!" Recalling the last time Sendou hit the mat, Ino secretly told himself!
"Phew!"
"???" Sendou saw the ball and had three question marks in a row.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
It's true that the ball went into the catcher's mitt, and it's true that the ball was depressed, but this ball hit the ground early to form Rebound Ball.
This is why Sendou has a question mark on his face.
"Bad ball!"
"Bad ball four!"
"Ping ping ping pong!" Sendou dropped the bat and went to first base.
Ino was too concerned about pressing Low Ball, resulting in ball control errors.
Sendou's American Style Lifting Hit, he could see it very clearly, and the bad ball in the outside corner was easily swept to the outfield.
In the end, he was overwhelmed by the pressure, at least for a moment, and made another mistake.
"Ah haha! That bastard was escorted out again!" (Why do you say again?)
"When that bastard goes to first base, it's actually no different than third base!
This will put pressure on the shooter. After entering the scoring circle, Shirazu will feel much more relaxed! "Miyuki also laughed.
"You have no right to say this!" Several third-year students on the bench complained at the same time Miyuki.
"Ah haha! If only you were behind this guy, you bastard can only concentrate when the runner is in the scoring circle! Haha!" At this time, Kuramochi is not the best damage friend if he doesn't last the last hit.
Even Coach Kataoka couldn't help but glance at Miyuki.
Miyuki This Seidou is one of the special products, with a look of resentment on his face!
Asking for votes...
