"The third ball!"

"Ah! Ugh!"

"Soldiers!"

"Hit Changeup!!!"

"Yo Xi! Fly away! You bastard!"

But the ball didn't fly very far as he said. Carlos ran as casually as a walk and caught it in two steps.

"Damn it! Are you kidding!" Sawamura and Jun-san are the same model!

Just when Spitz was pitying his ball that shouldn't be pity, Narumiya Mei started kicking the dirt.

"Hoo? The guy who didn't get angry even after being hit Inside-the-Park Home Run actually got angry when Changeup was touched. Is he so confident?

That kind of ball!

However, he is worthy of being the ace of last year's hegemony. Has this adjusted him? "Ozawa on the sidelines could tell at a glance that Narumiya Mei was going crazy just now.

You only need to bring yourself a few years ago to know what this is like. After Ozawa was beaten out by Sendou, he was kicked much harder than Narumiya Mei.

"What a risk! This ball was hit just a little too high! It seems that this kind of ball cannot be thrown casually!"

However, their awareness of Changeup should be deep enough!

The rest is the real test. Can you suppress these two people without Changeup? "

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

After all, it was already the third round of tying. Although he didn't dare to continue using Changeup, Harada struck out Yuki for the third time in a row. Harada was not so ambitious.

In fact, in my heart, Harada also felt that it was really great to be able to stop at Kominato's place in the last round.

If it was Isashiki's turn in the last round, Yuuki will be the lead batter in this round!

They are in a dilemma!

Facing Yuuki itself is very stressful. Even if it is resolved, it will be the same as the last round. With no one on the bases, I will face the pervert Sendou.

If Safety Bunt comes again, it will be difficult for them to stop consecutive stolen bases and finally score with a sacrifice hit.

This situation can only be dealt with by taking advantage of Sendou's current short game, which is still a bit bad, and using a straight ball like Fastball, or a drastically changed Forkball.

If one of the two choices is guessed, it will be a disaster!

Facing the Sendou of Lifting Hit, the falling ball can also be played as Long Hit.

If you rely on the outfielders to guard against Safety Bunt, the infielders have to step forward a little more than the normal Infield Shift.

Sendou is not a hitter without Long Hit ability, but a pervert with great ability, so the outfield cannot come forward yet.

Then there is a huge space directly in the infield and outfield. As long as the ball falls there and reaches base easily, this situation can only allow Sendou to hit a foul ball and strike out. After thinking about and guarding against so many situations, even if it can strike out, it becomes impossible. It is simply a choice between two cups of poison.

How could Harada not be lucky? As for allowing Captain Tetsu to get on base, Sendou can also bunt the bases, and no one is out at second base. They are also under great pressure, and there is also a Miyuki lying in wait behind them.

Instead, they can only rely on Narumiya Mei strikeouts or infield fly balls to force through the crisis.

This situation may occur in actual combat or competition, but it cannot be so unwise in strategy. After all, it is not a cruelty, and you cannot rely on luck to win before the game starts, right?

With the elimination number of Isashiki, Harada feels more at ease!

This way they have a lot more choices, just pitch the ace and use all the players to get the number of outs of Captain Tetsu.

If you get hit, there's nothing you can do about it.

The difference between one out and no out is really huge!

Because unless all four or five bats are on base with one out, it will be Masuko's turn with two outs.

To a certain extent, Narumiya Mei, which has a variety of high-quality Changeup, is Nemesis of Masuko.

Even if Masuko has a short game record, with his size, as long as he steps forward a little, he can only compete with his own Nemesis.

Baseball is really a very brain-intensive sport.

As commanders, Coach Kunimoto and Harada have to consider various complex situations, and even think about probabilities and accidents.

"Phew!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

This is already the fifth ball that Captain Tetsu has struggled with!

"The number of balls is two good and two bad!"

"Phew!"

"Ping"

"Out of bounds!"

Yuki's constant entanglement made Harada feel heavier and heavier, and he knew that he could not drag it on any longer.

In a sport like baseball, if there is no absolute speed and exquisite Changeup, the batter's bat will not be able to touch the ball.

Then as the number of balls increases, the hitters will become more and more adaptable.

At the same time, the pitcher's physical strength will also be worn away, affecting the level of pitching. After all, pitching requires mobilizing the whole body's strength to explode at one point. That moment can be said to be an anaerobic exercise.

Not to mention, Seidou is one of the top hitters in the country in four or five at-bats. Not throwing a single ball is to make these two hitters more accustomed to his ball at the same time.

It was a threefold loss.

"Crack!"

"Bad ball!"

"The seventh ball was a straight ball from an outside angle at full speed! But it was obviously offset by Strike Zone, and Yuuki had no reason to swing the bat!

This means the ball count is full! It's time to decide the outcome! "

Harada typed Signals while looking at Yuki.

Narumiya Mei also nodded seriously!

"Phew!"

"Ping!"

"Hit it! Diagonal Fastball behind the outside corner! Perfectly captured!

The ball is very deep, can I get in?

But the ball was not high enough, and Carlos, a strong player, had quickly retreated, received the kill, landed, Home Run, and confiscated Home Run!!! "

Although he was hit, Narumiya Mei's power was no joke, so the ball didn't fly very fast, which also gave the commentator the opportunity to say such a long speech.

However, the speed of this explanation is also worthy of praise.

"Do you want Home Run?" Next to Sendou Ichiro, the girl who just knew what Home Run was said excitedly.

The people next to me were a little speechless, and they even forgot which side they were from.

She was surrounded by viewers who supported Seidou. I can only say that it's a good thing they couldn't understand what she was talking about, otherwise it would have been very exciting (embarrassing)...

"Crack!"

At the last moment, Carlos stepped on the wall under the guardrail net, jumped slightly and caught the ball extremely hard!

Sendou said that I had seen this scene before. It was almost the same in the previous life, and the one who took the kill was also Captain Tetsu in the third round...

"Really? Is this the so-called self-correction of time and space?" Sendou joked to himself.

"Received... received it! A super fine play from the stalwart Carlos!

Inajitsu also showed a solid outfield defense that was not inferior to Seidou!

Kamiya Carlos, this man's defense is not inferior to Sendou Akira at all!!! "

"Aren't you going to lose? That monster would probably be one step ahead of me, and then jump up and catch it easily!

My goal was a little forced!

However, it can be considered my luck to receive it! "Carlos did not lose himself as the commentator boasted. (I really want to abduct him! Go to Seidou, like my last book, Seidou Three Gods Speed Runners, so cool!)

Captain Tetsu also had a look of disbelief on this. Even Natural Airhead was a little shaken, even if it was just a little bit.

"It's amazing! He ran straight to the landing point!" Owada Akiko of Press Box stood up and said in surprise.

"Being able to show this kind of performance in this situation shows the overall strength of the Inajitsu team!

For Seidou, the opportunity to respond to the previous points lost was blocked in this way!

This will also have a huge impact on morale!

This will give him more advantages in the subsequent duel with Sendou.

And just as the commentator said, the fielder's defensive ability is not inferior to Seidou!

And there is the absolute ace Narumiya Mei!

Such Seidou pressure! "Mine Fujio's mouth grew bigger and he thought.

It was a rare recognition of the commentator's statement. He usually didn't like the commentator's exaggerated remarks.

Although sometimes a blind cat encounters a dead mouse.

Mine Fujio's vision is generally very accurate. If we talk about the last game, Narumiya Mei put "the pressure of losing one point on Sakurazawa's players" on Pitcher's Mound.

In this game, all members of Inajitsu are putting pressure on Seidou Batting Lineup, "Not only do they have to face Narumiya Mei who is in great shape, but they also have to face Inajitsu's solid defense even if they are lucky enough to hit the ball."

If Sendou cannot continue the magic of being the first to take the seat, then even if Seidou is in the lead, the situation will begin to lead to Inajitsu.

After all, Seidou's pitcher is flawed. No one knows when Daocheng's hitting line will break out.

From the big screen, he could see Yuki's wavering clearly. The four sticks were like this, which showed the huge impact.

It can only be said that Mine Fujio doesn't quite understand Sendou's character. The fact that Sendou will be affected is the only thing he misunderstood.

In other respects, as long as Sendou fails to hit a hit, the situation will begin to turn as Mine Fujio thought.

This is what happens under normal circumstances...

"Five sticks! Backbone, Sendou-kun!"

"What a strong pressure! But this situation is interesting!" A person who didn't know what pressure was got up excitedly!

"...! That's right! We still have Sendou!"

"Please! Sendou!"

Even the substitute Seidou in the audience panicked.

"With two outs and no runners, there's no better situation than this against this man!

You don't need to worry about his Safety Bunt, just let him get on base if he wants, and just have a showdown with him! Ming! "Harada expected that Sendou would not be able to attack in this situation.

Indeed it is!

For Sendou, Safety Bunt's hitting the bases is a sacrifice for the team and victory, and it is also a way to relieve his own pressure when he competes with Narumiya Mei.

When there is no profit from striking, there is no need to do that.

What Sendou didn't expect was that Narumiya Mei actually restrained Pudding-senpai so much that he didn't even notice that Masuko would be restrained.

Although it also has something to do with Sendou being excited about his upcoming duel with Narumiya Mei.

"The first at-bat was a coincidence, and the last at-bat was based on footwork. I never felt like I had any advantage against you.

There was no need for a bunt in this inning, and even a hit was given. Apart from improving some morale, it had no other impact on the game.

Thinking about it this way, if I let that Spitz know, he will definitely scold me again and stop me from saying demoralizing words, right?

However, this way we can compete without any worries.

I am no match for you, I know this very well.

But!

After all!

Baseball is this kind of sport that can ignore the huge gap between the two sides!

So, please let me feel your power!

Narumiya...ring!!! "

"Yalu! You actually looked at me like that!

Don't think that just by hitting two goals, you're above me!

It just so happens that we have accumulated so many accounts. From now on to the end of the game, let's settle them in one go! "However, Sendou Fighting Spirit's full eyes were interpreted by Narumiya Mei as provocation.

There is nothing that can be done about it. From what happened before and the conversation three days ago, Narumiya Mei couldn't have guessed Sendou's true thoughts. He was so self-aware...

"Call me out! Bastard!"

"Watch the ball with caution!"

The seniors who were emotionally affected cheered Sendou on, obviously they also realized the importance of this one.

"Sendou!!!"

"Akila!" Fumino simply clenched his fists in front of his chest.

"You shouldn't be the type to be defeated by pressure like this!" Ozawa thought in his heart.

"You said it so beautifully, just call me out! You brat!" Azuma Kiyokuni also whispered viciously.

Although Azuma Kiyokuni also knows how difficult it is, he is even more unwilling to think about Sendou being eliminated.

"Phew! Come on!"

"A showdown! ×2!"

At this moment, the ideas of Narumiya Mei and Sendou are in perfect agreement!

"Phew!"

"Ping~!"

"Out of bounds!"

"First goal Slider! Missed, out of bounds!"

"Ah! Sendou takes action against this tricky Ball Trajectory again!

It's obviously a bad ball! Why can't that guy tell the difference? "Head Manager Oota scratched his head with both hands.

"It's not that he can't tell the difference at all, but when he hits, he trusts his bat more!

Instead of trusting the referee!

Probably! "Actually Senior Chris is not very sure either...

"What really worries me is... was he angry just now?

Then the opportunity that can really affect Narumiya Mei is probably this round.

Sendou! "Senior Chris watched with full attention the two people who were about to face off in the second wave.

"Phew!"

"Missed?"

"Crack!"

"Bad ball!"

"The second ball was obviously far away from Strike Zone, a bad ball from the inside corner!

Sendou-kun dodged it nimbly! "

Although the ball was still a little short of the body, Sendou, who could see it clearly, still dodged it just in case.

"Although I got a bad ball number, this ball is even more difficult to judge the next step of shooting!

This ball has absolutely no reference value. "Sendou glanced at Harada and thought in his heart.

An out-of-control ball, Sendou didn't dare to confirm where it would have been thrown if it hadn't been out of control. Didn't Tanba also throw bad balls in the outside corners into straight balls in the center!

Then he was beaten out...!

"Why can't I encounter such a good thing?

Or is it that the first person to take the seat has used up all the good stuff?

Then there is really something wrong with this banquet! "Even if he is relatively excited today, Sendou cannot completely eliminate his tendency to wander off.

I really didn't expect that I would receive 30 recommendation votes and 6 monthly votes even on a day off. Thank you all so much.
