"Hey! Please give me some energy! Didn't I just get up a few minutes earlier..., twenty minutes!

Look how energetic Sawamura is! "Isashiki-senpai cursed.

"But I'm just so sleepy! Eijun is such a energetic person.

Well..., I don't know what animal woke me up in the morning. I really wanted to stew it. "Sendou said terrible words seriously.

"Animal? What animal?"

"I don't know, I don't even know what the sound was. It was just a loud sound. When I woke up, the only thing left was dogs barking. It was probably a dog fight!

Didn't the seniors hear it? "

"No! Are you too sensitive to the sound? Or did you hear it wrong? But since there is a dog barking, it should be right!

Doesn't matter? There is a competition today! "

"Ah!!! It's okay! I'll just wash it off with cold water in a while. Eminem!" Sendou yawned first, then took a big mouthful of meat, then took a sip of water, and swallowed it in a few times.

"Tanba! How are you doing today?" At this time, Senior Chris walked towards Senior Tanba and asked gently.

"It should be good, I think!"

"I don't look tired at all!" Senior Chris pulled out a stool and sat down.

"Bah!" At this time, someone walked into the cafeteria again, and crisp footsteps could be heard.

moment...

On the second grade side, Kawakami opened his eyes wide, Miyuki opened his mouth, and Kuramochi opened his eyes wide while clenching his teeth, also looking surprised.

Over there in the third grade,

Captain Tetsu looked towards the door normally, and Miyauchi-senpai blew out a breath from his nose.

"Ah!" Jun-san lost his voice with his mouth wide open and his eyes wide open.

"Huh?" Sendou, who had just stuffed his mouth with meat, saw Jun-san's expression was a little strange.

"Ah! Well... well..., Mas... well..." Sawamura was speechless.

Sendou turned his head curiously, and his eyes widened instantly.

What came into view was Pudding-senpai's shiny bald head.

Mainly Masuko's head is big and round!

Sendou was so surprised that he forgot to chew, and instinctively swallowed the meat. His body involuntarily picked up a glass of water and took a sip.

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough!" Then he choked!

"Have a meeting after breakfast!" At this time Coach Kataoka and Rei-chan came in.

"Hi!"

"Start from here at seven o'clock."

"I know!"

"Then, the bus..." At this time, the two people talking finally saw Pudding-senpai at the door.

"...!" There was a brief silence, which made Masuko sweat all over.

"Masuko...! What do you want to show?"

"Pfft!" When Sendou heard this, he was about to drink some water to calm down his shock, but it all came out on Captain Tetsu in an instant...

Not just Sendou, almost everyone couldn't help it.

Although most of them were covering their mouths and laughing.

"That's too much! Supervision!" Kuramochi said while laughing.

"By the way, what's going on with your head! Masuko!" Jun-san also smiled and managed to say a word, he couldn't help it!

"Do you want to change your image?"

"I forgot to put on the accessories when I was shaving my head..." Pudding-senpai slowly explained with a red face.

This time everyone laughed even more.

"It suits you very well! Masuko-san! The pressure doubled instantly!" Kuramochi burst into tears when he said this.

"My stomach..., my stomach hurts so much!..." Miyuki laughed while holding his stomach.

"That's great! We have a partner!" Ounisang chuckled and teased Tanba.

Senior Chris next to him had a smile on his face.

Only Senior Tanba is extremely serious.

"Good..., so painful!" Sawamura's smile was even more exaggerated. He covered his stomach and raised his head, laughing while his whole body was trembling.

"You're laughing too much! Sawamura-chan!" Masuko couldn't help but complain.

"That's it!" Sendou somewhat understood what the animal just mentioned was about...

"No! You have to forget about this quickly, huh!" Then the guy remembered that he was going to stew the other person, so he decided to forget about it.

"Woo!" At this time, Masuko-senpai found that the coach and Rei-chan were also covering their mouths and laughing, and they stopped immediately.

"There's nothing we can do about what has happened! But don't make such small mistakes during the game!" the coach said, suppressing a smile.

Then the laughter can reach the sky.

"How can I eat this food! Puff puff! Haha! Burp! Haha! Cough cough!" Sendou was thinking seriously but his body was no longer under control.

However, after ten years of smiling, Sendou feels less sleepy after doing this.

Summer Preliminaries finally reached the Semifinals game, and the next three games will be played at Meiji Jingu Stadium.

This day is July 29th. The match between Seidou and Xianquan Academy is at ten o'clock in the morning, and the match between Inajitsu and Sakurazawa High School is at twelve fifty.

It can be said that no matter which game it is, it is very hot.

When Seidou arrived outside Meiji Jingu Stadium, the weather was not bad, so I squinted for a while in the car.

"Here it comes! Seidou!" Fans outside the stadium shouted when they spotted Seidou's bus.

Then came the warm welcome.

By the way, he put Sendou's hat in his bag. This guy doesn't like to hold it in his hands, and he also doesn't like to wear things on his head. Yesterday, he couldn't help wearing a helmet. Today, it's definitely impossible to show off the hat's hairstyle...

In this life, Sendou is a little showy.

As Kuramochi said, after Masuko-senpai went bald, the pressure doubled, and he no longer looked like a good person.

Sendou I think I heard some fans calling Isashiki Spitz.

"How is your status?" Jun-san asked after arriving at the stadium.

It seems that Sendou didn't sleep well and Jun-san is very concerned.

"It's okay! Same as usual! But today's pitcher is not easy to deal with. Compared with the curve ball, the straight ball is the most troublesome.

However, thanks to that Sunglasses Uncle, I can get used to it in one seat at most! That guy's Ball Trajectory! "

"Ha! How about one shot?"

"No one can say for sure!"

"This! You humble bastard, you didn't do this before!" After saying that, Jun-san performed the secret technique of strangulation.

"Jun-san! Speak up! Don't do anything!"

However, Sendou was thinking about yesterday's practice. Coach Kataoka only didn't tell him what to throw Ball Trajectory when he was playing, which resulted in his hit being a bit miserable yesterday. (He thinks...)

"The game officially begins now!

Top of the First Inning, Seidou High School attack,

A stick! Shortstop, Kuramochi-kun! "

"The supervisor asked us to observe Ball Trajectory thoroughly in the first round. We can't just be eliminated casually!" Kuramochi, with this thought in his mind, stood on the left batting bench.

"Crack!"

"Good shot!"

"It's so tricky! And the gap at this angle..." Kuramochi watched Low Ball's outside corner of the first ball.

The information he saw gave him a bad premonition.

Maki's height reached 195 centimeters. Xianquan's coach taught him how to use his height to throw the ball and take small steps so that when he releases the ball, he can stand very high and the point of release is also high.

With Tanba's sloping shoulders, the ball release point is not much higher than his height because the sloping shoulders have some lateral angles.

But Maki has an absolute height advantage. His wingspan is much longer than that of a short person even if his arm strength is poor. What's more, Maki's wingspan is not as long as Sendou, which is considered ordinary. This results in his ball release point being visually as high as 2.5 meters.

In addition, Pitcher's Mound itself is higher than home plate, and when pitching Low Ball, it is simply a large diagonal line from top to bottom. Moreover, because of its figure, the power of the ball is even stronger than that of Coach Kataoka. This straight ball is not ordinary difficult to hit.

Coach Kataoka yesterday's practice was more targeted, but the hitter also knew the situation of Ball Trajectory in advance, mainly because he had never met the opponent, so it was a temporary sharpening.

So even if there are high imitations to practice in front of him, Coach Kataoka is already prepared for the first few games, at least not getting points in the first round. This is because he doesn't know the opponent's coach's stable-as-an-old-dog style of play.

The low straight ball and the curve ball created a gap, which allowed Kuramochi to be chased quickly.

"Crack!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

"Second bat! Second baseman, Kominato Ryosuke-kun!" (Since Seidou's twenty-man list has brothers Kominato, both of them are broadcast with their full names)

"Ryo-san! Generally speaking, this guy's straight ball is very close to the coach's, but the ball is very powerful, the angle is wider, and it is difficult to hit when it is thrown to a very low place!" Kuramochi made a simple summary when he came off the court.

"Well! This round is all about observation! If you want to score, just leave it to those monsters!" Ounisang was thinking very broadly.

"How's it going? Maki's ball!" Jun-san went to the preparation area, and Captain Tetsu, who was holding a helmet, came up again. These seniors are really concerned about Sendou's recent state. After all, Sendou has made great adjustments in hitting. It is normal for everyone to be concerned, although it can't be seen from the outside.

"You can't see much from the side. The gap of this straight ball is really big. I'm afraid even if you adapt to Ball Trajectory, it won't be easy to hit well.

After all, the contact surface of the bat is somewhat narrow!

Huh? "

"Huh?" After finishing speaking, Sendou saw Captain Tetsu's cute expression and replied with "Huh?". There were just a few question marks on his head! (Captain Tetsu brand Natural Airhead expression)

"Well! It's nothing!" Sendou gave up explaining, it was too wasteful.

"Oh! In short! Just master the rhythm by yourself." After saying that, Captain Tetsu also walked out!

From Sendou's point of view, this guy obviously doesn't understand. To prevent Sendou from continuing to chant sutras, it would be embarrassing for him not to understand.

"Ping!"

"Crack!"

At this time, after Ryo-san struggled with some balls, he also hit Ground Ball.

"That's good. In the first inning, we need to firmly suppress Seidou's top line. If it's the four-bat turn with someone on base, the risk is too high.

The subsequent hitters are not easy to deal with, especially Seidou of Summer Preliminaries, who has the highest score of five, Sendou Akira, and Miyuki Kazuya of seven! "Coach Ugai thought while holding his chin.

Seidou's scoring thing is not that Captain Tetsu is unstable, but that Captain Tetsu is too stable. It is Captain Tetsu's credit for everyone in the scoring circle.

Then there were two prodigal guys, Sendou and Miyuki, collecting corn. This is how Sendou became the team's scoring champion. Who knows how many times he intercepted Miyuki's good opportunities. Plus, he had a lot of Home Run, so he collected all the little corn he had, leaving Miyuki crying and fainting in the toilet.

The coach's order is to observe Ball Trajectory, even if it is Captain Tetsu, he must obey it, unless he encounters Ball Trajectory who is easy to fight.

As for Sendou,..., it's not that Coach Kataoka gave him the privilege, it's really this guy's ability to distinguish between good and bad balls..., giving him restrictions only tied his own hands.

This game Jun-san also ended with Ground Ball. The big angle straight ball was still uncomfortable compared to the curve ball.

In the second half of the first game, Sensen Academy's attack was completely aimed at Senior Tanba, which floated up and could not be suppressed. It was an extremely easy to hit straight ball, but Seidou's defense was too strong. Although the opponent was allowed to hit the base twice, it was still suppressed with zero points.

"Four bats! First baseman, Yuuki-kun!"

"A man! He has his own world! If you want to compare it! That's it! The star across the sky!!!

Fight it out! Yuuki..., Yuki..., Yuki...! "

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

"Xian..., it really makes me feel bad!" While the drum band and the bench accompaniment were preparing the second verse, Sendou looked at the Xianquan scoreboard with the word "Xian" and felt inexplicably unhappy.

"Tetsu-san! Get on base!"

"If there are people who can be beaten in the first round, it's these two guys!" Ounisang said with squinted eyes, looking at the backs of Captain Tetsu standing in Batter's Box, and Sendou in the preparation area.

Different from the previous life, when faced with unfamiliar pitches, even if Captain Tetsu could catch Ball Trajectory in the first round, no batter could follow up.

But the four-rod and five-rod combination of Captain Tetsu and Sendou gives people more expectations.

Not to mention the duel, I don't dare to play casually even with walks. You can't walk two at the same time!

Although Xianquan could indeed tell if the situation was not good in the first round..., it was only the first round.

"Play!"

"Facing this hitter, we must fight Low Ball!"

"Phew!"

"Crack!"

"Good shot!"

Faced with such a large-scale Ball Trajectory, Captain Tetsu's calm personality prevented him from swinging the bat rashly.

"This guy! Is the power of the game increasing?" Sendou looked at the tall Maki with some confusion.

"Crack!"

"Bad ball!"

"Outer corner, inner corner! Sure enough, the inner corner won't throw Strike Zone at all!"

"Whoops"! "

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

The third pitch is a curveball from the outside corner!

"Phew!"

"Um? "Seeing the fourth ball, Captain Tetsu frowned.

"Ping!"

This ball bounced high on the ground in front of me, and other people were passed through...

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Out!"

But facing Maki who was tall enough, he jumped up to catch it and then passed it to first base!

"One out! One out! "After getting the elimination number of Captain Tetsu, Xianquan's morale was greatly boosted.

The whole audience started shouting and encouraging each other.

"What's wrong? Tetsu-san! "Sendou's expression wrinkled slightly when he saw Captain Tetsu coming back.

"No! Ball Trajectory is similar to the coach's, but it's not easy to play well without knowing Ball Trajectory!

The last ball hit the fuzzy area on the edge of Strike Zone...

But enough observation!

Your words are fine. "

"I thought this was a compliment! "Sendou thought to himself.

For Sendou, who does not distinguish between good and bad balls, there is indeed no such trouble as Captain Tetsu.

But saying this to Sendou doesn't sound so good.

Captain Tetsu definitely didn't think that much, so Sendou forgave this Natural Airhead.

This game is not that important, so it is impossible to exaggerate as much as Yakushi Game. It may even be shorter than I thought, although I don't know how much I will write.

Finally, I'm asking for votes.
