Strictly speaking, the ball landed behind the third base bag and bounced out of bounds after landing.

The outfield retreated to defend against Sendou's Long Hit, and the infield had to defend against his bunt. This zone happened to be hollow.

"Sendou-kun forced the ball out, left field stepped forward..."

"Ku! ku! ku! ku! ku!"

"Crack!"

"Safe!"

"Double from Sendou-kun! A hit that doesn't require a slide!"

"Nice! Sendou!"

"Nice strike, Sendou-kun!"

"Although the posture is a bit awkward!"

They scored three points in the first game, but their own attack was suppressed by zero points. It was a big blow to Seidou, but Sendou's hit gave everyone a boost.

Sendou is on base, and it's not a two-out situation, so the score is almost guaranteed.

The pressure suddenly used this as an outlet and all the pressure poured out.

"So fast!" Player Meikawa Academy gulped as he looked at Sendou cleaning up the sand on his body.

Even though we know he is fast, the feeling off the court and directly are completely different.

"That Ball Trajectory will also be beaten out?" Yang Shunchen turned around and glanced at Sendou.

Sendou smiled slightly if he realized it.

Then he looked at Batter's Box, or to be precise, at Furuya.

Who knows how Furuya is feeling now.

"Boom!!!"

Furuya's aura is fully output!

"It's out! The aura is out!"

"Furuya! Now is our attack! Take your aura back!"

"Six bats! Third baseman, Masuko-kun!"

"Now there is a runner on second base with no outs, and on top of Batter's Box is a six-bat Masuko. It is an excellent scoring opportunity for Seidou!

Oh!!! This is off base! It is indeed the style of Sendou! "

"Ah haha! Keep putting pressure on him!"

Yang glanced at the batter, suddenly turned around and threw it behind him!

"Crack!"

"Safe!"

"It really doesn't work? This man is too fast!" For once, Yang put some pressure on Sendou, but he was not ready to vote for Pickoff Throw again.

Masuko glanced at the bench, Coach Kataoka had no reaction.

"There was no reaction from the Seidou bench. It seemed like it was left to the players themselves. This shows that Seidou's coaching staff didn't care that much about the three-point difference!

This strong line gave them enough confidence!

At the same time, this posture will also make the players full of confidence! "Mine Fujio, the reporter on the sidelines, explained to Owada.

"That's it!"

"First goal!"

"Steal a base!"

"Stealing the first pitch? This one is on second base!"

"Crack!"

"Damn it!"

"Crack!"

"Safe!"

"Solo stolen base successful!!!

This means that no one is out at third base, the ball count is one ball, and there are no strikes. What will you do? Meikawa Academy! "

"Be prepared to lose one run, there's nothing we can do about this runner!" Yang hit Signals at the catcher, indirectly commanding the entire team.

"Forced points!"

"Ding!"

"First base!"

"Poof!" Just as Yang shouted, the sound of a base slide came from home plate.

"Crack!"

"Out!"

"Forcing points taken successfully!!!

Seidou regained a point! "

"Nice runner! Sendou!"

"Nice run!"

"Nice bunt Masuko-san!"

"Nice! You bastard!" When Sendou returned to the bench, Jun-san and others began to ravage him!

After being let go by the seniors, Sendou walked up to Furuya. At this time, Furuya could no longer control himself.

"I told you, don't be anxious! We will get it back point by point! It's different from someone with evil eyes!" Sendou put his left fist on Furuya's heart, not forgetting to insult Miyuki.

Furuya looked at Sendou blankly just like when Kiryu was moved by Miyuki.

Miyuki was slapped in the face at that time, but Sendou kept his word.

"Crack!"

"Ahaha! First baseman's glove!" As soon as Sendou finished speaking, a certain Black-bellied Glasses felt cold.

"Look!" Sendou didn't look back and pointed at Miyuki behind him with his thumb!

Furuya nodded slowly as if in agreement.

"Trust our line, trust me!

Later, as the representative of our first grade, suppress them and stand at Pitcher's Mound, you will be the trump card! "

"What are you talking about?" Miyuki's mean voice came over.

"Boom!!!" However, the next second, he saw Furuya's aura, which was about to overturn the ceiling of the bench.

"I know! I will suppress them!" Furuya answered in an unusually formal manner, looking a little cute.

"But don't use too much force!"

"Yeah!" Furuya looked serious.

"Crack!"

"Good ball! The batter is out!" At this time, the eight-bat Shirazu was struck out.

"Let's go!"

"Hi!" Furuya used honorifics to Sendou.

Then, aggressively, he walked towards Pitcher's Mound step by step.

"What did you say to him? He's so imposing!"

"Ah! I said I am different from that Black-bellied Glasses, and I do what I say!

During the war, Kiryu spoke big words, but was easily solved! "Sendou Tell the truth, but his truthfulness is more lethal than ridicule.

"Uh!..." Miyuki's face was covered in cold sweat.

Furuya, who was completely mobilized by Sendou, Fighting Spirit, solved the three batters with full firepower.

However, considering the high temperature, it is not clear how long Furuya can last. Sawamura has been preparing. He just needs to maintain his condition and hold on a little longer.

And this experience is also a kind of nourishment for progress.

"Crack!"

"Good shot!"

"Furuya, your bat is very far away from the ball!

Watch the ball carefully before playing! "Izumi Commander Eijun of Bullpen was commanding madly, although when this guy hit, the bat was basically dozens of centimeters away from the ball.

"Come on! Furuya-kun!"

"Fight it out!"

"Crack!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

After Furuya was eliminated, it was Seidou's turn to hit the line in the second round.

"Crack!"

"Good shot!"

"You can't expect Four Balls, and there are no good balls. This kind of pitcher is really annoying!

Although I have been mentally prepared to drag that bastard down, I can only do my best to take action! "

"Ping!"

The ball was familiar again, as the ball hit the first baseman's glove.

"Calm down! Kunimi! You still have time to pass it over steadily!"

Yang calmed down his teammates with just one word.

"Crack!"

"Out!"

In the end, the ball became longer than the leg...

"Short legs are a flaw!" Sendou glanced at his long legs and murmured in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Miyuki didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing!" Sendou knew that he was a little swollen, so he accidentally said it.

Just kidding, if Miyuki knew what he said, wouldn't something happen?

"Don't don't mind don't" Sawamura looked at Kuramochi who was resting after running the bases and wanted to comfort him. He thought for a moment and said this.

"Just don't mind (don't care), you just make me more angry!"

"Hahaha! Sure enough, this guy Eijun is so interesting!"

If Sendou is the easiest one to face the bribed referee, Onnisan is the one who struggles the most.

Facing Changeup who suddenly appeared from the corner, Ryo-san was helpless and hit the pitcher's glove.

"Did that Ball Trajectory and Changeup fight out through obsession?

There is also the first-year five-bat player who also played previously.

As expected of a famous team, no matter what kind of hitter they swing, there is no hesitation.

Two points! At least two more points are needed to push this team over the edge. "Obviously hesitating about the existence of Sendou, Yang increased the safety margin.

He didn't know when Sendou would hit base again.

Sendou is the hitter he has the most trouble with. Other hitters can just hit out and suppress subsequent hitters, but if there is no runner in front of Sendou, his scoring ability is too scary.

Even if there are enough outs, the runner in front of Sendou can be used as a sacrifice.

In the past, there was no such tactic simply because there were no runners as clueless as Sendou. Sometimes, famous players would do whatever it takes to get a point.

The dignity of a famous family is victory!

Holding a short bat and hitting a four-bat bunt are never uncommon for famous players.

The key score when Seidou lost to Inajitsu last year was from the four-stick strike.

It can be seen that in a battle between two evenly matched teams, nothing is more important than victory.

The offense and defense of both sides in the third game ended here.

"Wouldn't all my efforts the day before yesterday be in vain? It won't help at all!" Sendou said helplessly when he saw the attack in this round and stood up.

"That's not the case!

It's just that Yang's ball control is so good. In fact, because of your presence, it's hard to suppress us with that straight ball.

It's just that Changeup is interspersed in the middle to double the difficulty.

But when his Changeup is also seen through, even if there is no guarantee that he will be able to hit it, there will definitely be a large number of hits.

It's rare!

You, who usually shout that the game has just started, are actually anxious! "Ryo-san comforted me gently.

But that smile, Sendou couldn't be moved. Maybe the usual impression was too deep. This gentle smile made people feel that it was thorny.

"No! I'm just afraid that the beating I received that day was in vain!" Sendou whispered.

"Furuya!!!

I can trade with you anytime!

By the way, change someone now!!! "

Furuya completely ignored him.

"Ignore me again!"

However, when the temperature began to rise, the first person to comfort him was Sawamura.

"That's not good! We have to score quickly!

Give up Changeup on the next pitch and try chasing some hard straight shots! "

Sendou said that the hard ball is a bad ball that has never been touched before and has a lot of deviation.

The bench is also thinking about the replacement issue.

Head Manager Oota Of course, I recommend Kawakami first.

It cannot be said that he is a Kawakami chef. It can only be said that from a spectator's point of view, Sawamura's balls are too ordinary, and he can only hit an inside angle straight ball.

Head Manager Oota hadn't seen his pitching in Batter's Box, and at this time, he didn't know much about Sawamura's big heart or these aspects of the pitcher.

With so many factors involved, no one can rest assured about Sawamura.

As for Kawakami's ball control, it can be said that Yang and Teitou's little Taiyou are better than him. At this time, little Taiyou is not ace yet.

It can only be said that a layman like Head Manager Oota only sees the surface.

At the beginning of the inning, in order to avoid being struck out and to wear down Furuya's physical strength, Meikawa Academy began to take the initiative to attack, using bunts to disrupt his rhythm.

This damaging move was previously used by Sendou on Akashi, and Practice Match of the Kokudo Hall and Sawamura also used it on Sawamura.

They just bully players who have little experience in professional competitions, unstable ball control, and insufficient training.

They wanted to force this method to make Seidou substitute early and disrupt their rhythm. In their understanding, the only one who deserved vigilance in the follow-up shot was Kawakami.

Maybe they don't have enough intelligence on Kawakami, but new pitchers usually get chances to score easily when they come on the court.

For high school students, momentum is very important. After all, they are not experienced professional players.

The same reason why Sawamura was chosen as the follow-up pitch instead of Kawakami is [only Kawakami is left], and [there is Kawakami], and the impact on the players' mentality will be minimized, and Sawamura's pitching has also been personally tried by the coach.

And those protective gears that Kanemaru was so scared to wear, didn't they prove that he thought he couldn't escape?

Sawamura started a riot as soon as he heard that he was going to play and leave.

It also made Sendou and Miyuki realize that Furuya's game today would also come to an end.

It's not that Furuya can't persevere. This summer, Seidou adopted a follow-up pitching strategy. That is, the less each pitcher plays, the less information other teams have about Seidou Pitching Lineup, the more advantageous it is.

After all, all four pitchers of Seidou have problems. Those who cannot withstand research can only grow through games so that the opponent's intelligence cannot keep up with their growth.

Furuya also realized something, and instead worked harder. Although he struck out two batters, it also exhausted the last of his energy.

Fast Forkball couldn't make Furuya relax.

Feeling that your physical strength is draining away, people like Furuya Sawamura who have no control will unconsciously exert force. There is no way.

After walking four batters, he was replaced by Sawamura.

Furuya is even more unwilling than in the original work. Sendou just repaid his expectations a round ago.

When it was his turn to prove his worth with pitching, he was replaced, which made him extremely unwilling.

Sawamura's appearance also caused an uproar in his own team. After all, only a few people saw what happened last night. He was asked to pitch in the first game for the purpose of training and to lead the score.

At this time, at such a critical moment, anyone who does not know the inside story of replacing him will question it.

But the coach's order is absolute, and they, the substitutes who haven't even been on the bench, are even less likely to question anything.

Furuya was having trouble with Pitcher's Mound as always, and Miyuki had some reaction after directly speaking harsh words.

In the end, Miyuki and Sawamura cooperated softly and hardly, and Furuya could only hand over the ball even if he was more unwilling than in his previous life.

On the one hand, he knows that he has really reached his limit. On the other hand, he trusts Miyuki already Sawamura. He still has a little admiration for Sawamura, although it is only in terms of personality.

But we also recognize the strength of Sawamura.

Furuya felt guilty for Sendou, angry that his body was not up to par, and unwilling to give up, and slowly walked away from Pitcher's Mound.

It took me a long time to write this chapter today, I can't say I'm stuck! There was just something wrong with the wording. Every time I was not satisfied with the wording used to express a meaning, I deleted and rewrote it, and almost didn't make it in time.

Finally, please vote!
