Although I'm jealous, it's not time to gather yet.
Kuramochi temporarily suppressed his crazy jealousy.
"There's one more game left! Ei-chan!"
"Oh?"
"If you are on this team, you can definitely go! Koshien!"
"Huh?" Sawamura had forgotten about this a long time ago and looked at everyone in confusion.
"Who knows, I will be able to debut at the national level in the first grade!"
"That's really awesome!"
"We will definitely support you!"
Sawamura is silent!
"This Baga must have forgotten about this a long time ago!" Sendou interjected.
"Huh?"
"Yeah! There's only one game left, so let's go to Koshien!
Just doing your duty in every game is already very hard!
Seniors, we are all very powerful people, worthy of respect, and very handsome!
There is a guy who makes people very angry! His character is worse than Sendou. (Sawamura perspective)
I just want to keep fighting in this team! "
"Baga! If you really think about it, it will really be like our middle school slogan!
Go and dominate the country!
Seniors are the last to retire! "
"Huh? Dominate the whole country?"
"This is senior the Last Summer! Defeat means retirement!
There is only one reason! "
"Retire...!"
"Uh!" Just when Sawamura was shocked as if he knew this for the first time, Sendou saw a figure walking over.
"What's wrong? akila!" Wakaba asked.
Then everyone saw Sendou looking in one direction, so they followed his gaze.
"Ah!"
"Then..."
"That's not it?"
"Why are you here! Aren't you injured and need to recover?" Sendou said directly.
"Have you even omitted the honorifics?
And I'm not injured enough to have to lie in a hospital bed and not be able to get up!
And it's rare that I come to watch your game. Is this your attitude? "
"..." Sendou's mouth twisted!
"Ozawa-san! Don't care! Sen-chan has always been like this!" Ono took the initiative to explain.
That's right, this person is Ozawa who came to watch the game today.
"Sorry!" Sendou whispered.
"However, Seidou's performance is worth watching.
... nice game! "Ozawa ignored Sendou's apology and finally praised in a low voice.
Ignoring doesn't mean not forgiving. She is not an unreasonable person. It is normal for the two of them to quarrel. No one cares that much.
"Thank you!"
"Although it's a little early to say this, your opponent in the finals is probably Inajitsu, the overlord last summer!
I will come again for the decisive victory. Don't just lose! "
"Baseball is a thing where you can't determine the outcome without playing against anyone. No one can win all the time!
They are all professional players, do they still need me to teach them? "Sendou said helplessly, with a look like you are so childish.
"This...!
Of course I know this! But, as a hitter, personally you can't lose to their ace!
That's enough! ...
It's really not cute at all! You! "Ozawa came closer and said.
She has really changed a lot in the past few years. Faced with Sendou, the social beating that came in advance, she is no longer the powder keg that ignited when they first met.
Instead, it has some intellectual beauty and a sense of grandeur.
"I'm not going to guarantee any results, but it's definitely the most interesting game.
I have been waiting for this day to come! "When Sendou recalled Practice Match, Fighting Spirit burst into flames on the spot.
I remember feeling at that time that I might have met an opponent I couldn't win, and my blood boiled.
"Hoo? It's rare for you to be interested in other players!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who will lose to Inajitsu?
Stop saying some unlucky words to me before the game starts!
We will never lose!!!
Repeat it to me! "Jun-san has jumped out and strangled Sendou's neck.
"It hurts...!"
"Pain is what it takes!" As he said that, Isashiki added a little more force.
"Pfft! Haha!
Your senior is much cuter than you!
My name is Ozawa Mutsumi, please give me some advice! "Ozawa extends your hand generously!
"Uh!..." Jun-san, a straight man, looked at Ozawa's hand in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Ozawa looked at Isashiki with a funny look on his face.
"Ah! No! Please give me some advice!" Jun-san showed the etiquette when treating the referee, held Ozawa's hand and bowed.
"Then I'll go back first. Since you admire Inajitsu so much, I want to take a closer look. I won't watch their game today to keep it a bit mysterious.
Then after the finals, if you win, goodbye! "Ozawa After shaking hands, he turned around and left. After turning around, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his original three-point heroic spirit became stronger.
"So handsome!" Haruno looked at Ozawa's back in the distance. Although he didn't hear what she said, his actions were already impressive, with a look of admiration on his face.
"Damn it! How dare you say such unlucky words!
And I know such a handsome and beautiful elder sister, but she didn't introduce her to me!
If Mutsu-san hadn't taken the initiative to introduce himself, wouldn't he have completely missed the opportunity to speak?
Bagaya Road! "As he said this, Spitz had already used all his strength to punish this junior.
"So that's the point...!" Sendou wanted to complain like this, but was already speechless.
In any case, Jun-san is also one of the representative figures of Seidou's strong shoulders, which Sendou "feels" the most.
After the lesson, Isashiki put Sendou down, otherwise someone would die.
On the other side, Sawamura has also been sanctioned by the second game!
Ounisang's hand knife was brought down with a single strike. His expression was as if he found out that his brother-in-law had cheated on him and went to vent his anger on his sister.
The little fat face is gloomy and cute.
Xiaochun, who was following next to her, was like the sister who had been cheated on, and she was still talking to her man...
Sawamura, who stood up with his head covered, was knocked down by Kuramochi, who was already crazy with jealousy.
Kuramochi had a gangster expression on his face, and Akashi's friends were all shocked.
"Come here quickly! Sawamura! Inajitsu's game is about to begin! Kula!" Kuramochi was so jealous that he couldn't control his expression.
Next to him, Ounisang, with his back to them and his little hands behind his back, looked like it had nothing to do with me and I didn't see it.
"Okay..., it hurts! It always hurts more than usual!" This is Sawamura. It's impossible for anyone else to not be able to tell the difference between this time and usual times. Normally, he wouldn't fall to the ground like this.
"That's an illusion! Bagaya road!"
When Kuramochi said that the game was about to start, Sendou's eyebrows jumped!
"Stop talking nonsense! That guy Kuramochi can't bear it anymore!"
"That's it!"
Sendou understands, Coach Kataoka is indeed gathering, but not now.
Ou Nisang didn't hear the guy called Sawamura, Kuramochi!
It was purely caused by jealousy. Sawamura would definitely not realize that there was plenty of time before the start of the game, so he would not be in a hurry so early.
"Then... let's take this guy away!
Please come again and cheer for us! "After turning around, Kuramochi changed his face decisively, and said with a sunny face to Wakaba, whose head was full of black lines.
...Sawamura was surprised by Kuramochi's gentle tone of voice.
"Come here! Kula!" Then in the collective black line of Akashi's friends, Sawamura was dragged away with a bad attitude again.
"Walk faster!" Ounisang added another blow with his hand.
"The younger... the younger generation abused me!..."
"It's time for us to leave! Haven't you been looking forward to the showdown with Narumiya?" On the other side, Jun-san let go of Sendou.
"Okay!
Then... goodbye! "He said hello to his friends and left with Fumino!
Sawamura, who was dragged away, waved his little hands to say goodbye to his friends.
"Compared to Koshien, I want to keep fighting in this team!" A Shin sighed as he looked at the backs of the two people.
"I really want to hear what Ei-chan said!" Akio said.
"Speaking of it! Really..."
"There's one more game left! Ei-chan! Sen-chan!"
"We really want to see them appear on the Koshien stage!"
The companions also waved their arms towards the two of them, and Ono raised his hands in an exaggerated manner.
"Koshien! I forgot about it too! There is really only one game left!
So fast! Time..." While walking with everyone, Sendou didn't realize until his friends mentioned it that Summer Preliminaries was about to end.
"Ha! Narumiya Mei! Finally, the day has arrived!" But soon, he became excited because of the opponent he was about to encounter.
Sendou This heart, which has been silent all this time, beats so powerfully, this is the first time in this life.
Sure enough, after returning, Sawamura looked at Kuramochi from time to time with a puzzled look on his face.
Because, they dragged Sawamura back, but ended up resting on the bus...
At twelve thirty, Seidou everyone entered the stadium.
As soon as I entered the stadium, I saw everyone at Inajitsu warming up.
Having said that, it was quite interesting for them in the venue to collectively complain about Narumiya Mei, but it was a pity that Sendou couldn't hear it.
As the favorite to win the championship, there are many people watching the game even on weekdays. If Sendou hadn't gained popularity, there wouldn't have been so many people watching the game in the morning.
"Crack!!!"
"That bastard seems to be in good condition!
The sound is so loud! "After Jun-san spoke, no one answered. Everyone looked at the figure solemnly.
"This is our destined opponent. If we can't hit his ball, we won't be able to get tickets to Koshien." Miyuki thought in his heart, but immediately turned to look at Sendou.
"How's it going? That ball!... Can you hit it?"
"If it's just a straight shot of this level, it's more than enough! But he doesn't have the engine running at full speed yet!
Moreover, there are no absolutes in the world of baseball. In basketball, absolute strength differences exist.
But in the world of baseball, any hitter may be struck out, even if the pitcher is just an amateur pitcher! "Sendou said solemnly.
However, what Sendou did not say is that, conversely, there is an absolute difference in strength in the baseball world. Top pitchers may be hit by amateur hitters by chance, but consecutive hits basically do not exist.
This also indirectly shows that No Hit has such a rare record of not losing points. It is no wonder that Narumiya Mei had the courage to get angry with the coach in the previous games.
"How strange! You also have this expression!
What's wrong? Are you scared?
Are you trying to find a way for yourself by saying this? Reason for defeat? "Miyuki feels like he has the upper hand in a dispute for the first time and is about to reach the "peak" of his life.
"No, it's excitement! It's better if you can't win!"
"Huh?"
"I would only be worried if I could win easily!
Why did I focus so much on him? "
"You...!" Miyuki found that he seemed to have underestimated the strength of Sendou's character.
"The stronger the opponent, the better?"
"Yes! Only then will I have the motivation... the motivation to defeat him!" Sendou recalled Coach Nakanishi's praise of himself. He knew that in terms of talent, he would not lose to anyone, so there was nothing he could not defeat.
It just depends on the power. If possible, Sendou really longs for an opponent who can truly compete with him in every aspect.
Although he said he was arrogant, it was really hard to come across.
"Everyone is watching! Everyone is watching here!
Then it's better to take a closer look!
Small hopes and dreams, I will turn them all into despair! "
By the way, he is not the only one who has the same sentiment as Sendou. Narumiya Mei is also a highly touted pitcher.
It can be said that he is now a pitcher at the Nippon Professional Baseball level.
(Japan's Starting Pitcher played in one of the World Series. The ball speed was not as fast as Narumiya Mei. Changeup didn't have so many changes and could control the ball better!)
"Crack!!!"
"What a sharp ball! If you add Changeup like this, you won't be hit easily!" Even Xiaochun, who played accurately and was ranked number one in the team, said this, which shows how difficult it is.
Of course, Xiaochun is different from Sendou. Sendou's explosive reaction speed and other talents allow him to have more time to watch the ball.
Therefore, the analysis from the two perspectives is still quite different.
However, it would be really uncomfortable if the strikes were inaccurate.
Narumiya Mei It's not very difficult to hit just a straight shot, but it's also very difficult to hit, especially the few shots that happen to reach full ball speed, 148 kilometers, which are really difficult for high school students to hit.
Even Captain Tetsu wasted the first time.
A straight ball of this level, coupled with Changeup, to be honest, with Narumiya Mei in top form, even hitting Captain Tetsu depends on luck.
The fundamental reason is that the straight ball is too fast, attracting too much energy, otherwise it will really miss. Even if it is a straight ball in the center, not to mention Narumiya Mei can barely control the ball to the four corners.
Again, except for Knuckleball pitchers, the speed of the straight ball determines the pitcher's upper limit.
If the straight ball is not enough to restrain the hitter's energy, then it is useless no matter how versatile the Changeup is, just like the Fast Forkball of Furuya. Its characteristics are fast ball speed and fast falling speed, but the power of the ball and the straight ball ratio are negligible.
Fast Forkball is extremely dependent on straight balls.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and that is the repeatedly mentioned sinker with an average speed of over 160 kilometers. The Ball Trajectory does not rely on a straight ball. You know that the possibility of being hit is very low. Any straight ball can make this ball desperate.
However, this kind of ball cannot be thrown a few times in a game, and even this level of ball has not been hit before.
Major League In the hitter survey, this ball was not ranked first in difficulty.
It just so happens that this chapter is exactly 4100 words, no more and no less, not a single word is missing.
By the way, I changed the full situation of Jingu Stadium in the previous chapter. I found that this game was played on a weekday, which was completely different from the situation in the finals where there was no place to stand. Generally speaking, there were almost no people in the outfield stands during that game. There should be thousands or even seven or eight thousand people in the stands on both sides. It would be like this without this number. I don't want to change the details repeatedly because of this.
