"This is for you! Kazuya!
The goal is to earn a good number of straight balls! "
"Poof!" Narumiya Mei took the second ball without hesitation.
"Ping!"
"Ah!" Tanba, who wanted to suppress this round, opened his eyes wide.
"Left field!"
Furuya's lack of experience showed up again. He actually stepped back step by step while watching the ball flying at high speed in the sky.
"Furuya! Run back at full speed! This ball won't go out, but it will go very far!" Sendou glanced at the parabola and immediately shouted to Furuya.
Furuya was already sprinting obediently after Sendou said "Run back at full speed!"
If it was Jun-san, Furuya's reaction might not be so fast.
"Yo Xi!!!"
"Oh!!!" The audience obviously couldn't catch the ball and already cheered.
"Although I can understand the issue of instability in the pitching lineup, there are many opportunities for two inexperienced first-year players to participate in fielding." Coach Kunimoto thought.
"It feels good this time too!" Narumiya Mei finally showed a smile.
"Boom!"
"The left field wall! Straight hit!!!
The runner on first base returns! Eight to seven!
The game is back to one point difference!
It's like using actions to prove that the points you lost will be earned by yourself!
Narumiya Second base Timely Hit!!! "That's right, at the critical moment Narumiya Mei will not forcefully rush to third base like before, but will stop at second base obediently!
Looking at Narumiya Mei, who was holding his left arm high and looking down at all living beings, Miyuki sighed inaudibly.
"Nice strike! Ming!"
"Naru-kun!"
"Narumiya!"
"It's really amazing!"
"Click!"
At this time Coach Kataoka took a step from the bench!
"Ah!" Senior Tanba glanced in the direction of the bench sadly.
"Change pitcher?"
"Seidou is finally giving up the trump card?"
"There is nothing we can do! When the straight ball is already targeted, his Changeup has a very limited impact on the hitter!
The next batter is Yamaoka who hit Home Run before!
At this critical moment, Seidou doesn't want to take any risks! "
The three members of the Academic Team made guesses one by one.
"Seidou High School Notification of changing players!
In exchange for Mr. Tanba, it's a pitcher! Kawakami-kun!
Nine sticks! Pitcher, Kawakami-kun! "
Although he was unwilling to give in and hated his performance after being beaten by Home Run when he first came on the field, as a senior, Tanba lowered his head and adjusted his mentality.
"Kawakami!"
When Kawakami ran in front of him, Tanba called out to him.
"Tanba-san!" Kawakami looked at the sad Senior Tanba and murmured in a low voice.
"You are the ace from now on! Shoot hard!" He put the ball into Kawakami's glove and squeezed the ball hard like a legacy.
This is the last thing he can do as a senior and a member of this team.
"Tanba-san!" Looking at Senior Tanba who was smiling at him, Kawakami was speechless and choked.
"Tanba!" Captain Tetsu called to stop Senior Tanba who left with his head lowered.
"We will win!
Again!... will definitely make you stand on Pitcher's Mound again! "
Tanba I don't know how many times I have cried!
He didn't dare to turn around!
"We will get revenge on you!" shouted Jun-san in right field.
Kawakami swallowed a mouthful of spit!
This is the biggest difference between him and Sawamura. Kawakami feels the burden, but cannot turn it into motivation.
This is the decision made after the conversation between Coach Kataoka and Sendou.
The game has not yet reached the real Final Inning, the score is also one point ahead, and the pitcher is allowed to make some mistakes, giving him a chance to adjust.
Kawakami is not the kind of player who has the ability to perform stably when one ball determines life or death.
In that situation, he is likely to have problems, and his big heart is the life-saving straw at critical moments.
This is what Coach Kataoka thinks clearly from Sendou's words.
At the very least, judging from past performance, a big heart like Sawamura can still keep Fighting Spirit resisting for a while.
Moreover, Sawamura's ball cannot be caught in a short time, but it is the most suitable for players to decide life and death.
Due to Sawamura's immaturity, the fewer innings he plays, the more advantageous it is in theory.
The rest is left to fate.
This is the tragedy of not having a decisive ace. Furuya dare not replace him easily, which can only make him a loophole in the left field.
Fortunately, due to the tactical rationality of this training method, the method that most hitters practice the most, and which is also the most beneficial method for runners, is to hit right field.
This led to the famous players who were trained professionally and often forced themselves to play in right field.
Although left field is comfortable, there will always be some problems due to lack of training.
This is also the precious thing about Harada, Sendou, Wide-angle hitting, who can freely move to the right or left.
However, the number of balls going to left field is only relatively small, and loopholes are still loopholes. If he is targeted, it will be very dangerous for an inexperienced outfielder like him to handle poorly hit balls.
Not to mention that Onisan was injured and there were holes in the infield defense.
This is also a knock-on effect of a weak pitching staff.
Otherwise, it's just that Ou Nisang is injured, or he is selected in the left field. With the terrifying fielding range of Sendou, one and a half can be used.
But with both holes at the same time, Sendou has no way to guarantee that they can be completely filled. It can only depend on the on-the-spot reaction, but cannot guarantee anything.
Now all Seidou can do is pray, Kawakami don't be overwhelmed by the pressure and jump to the bottom.
Without the presence of Sendou, Coach Kataoka would not be able to turn this small corner at all.
Of course, in the previous life, Tanba ended early due to the heat and insufficient joint warm-up. Seidou cannot be so spare. In Eighth Inning, there are still two and a half pitchers who can make up for it at any time. In a long relay situation, even if Coach Kataoka turns around, he dare not go to Kawakami in advance.
(Furuya can only be counted as half, after all, his current situation with someone on base is too unstable.)
Then again, the fact that Tanba was not injured was also an unintentional act of Sendou, and it can't be said to be a prophet, it can be regarded as a butterfly effect.
"Axian! Be careful with your vote!
The next hitter to watch out for is Long Hit!
Don't forget your own characteristics! "Miyuki said to Kawakami, whose expression was a little stiff.
"Yeah!" Kawakami took a deep breath, put down the pressure temporarily, and responded.
"Six bats! First baseman, Yamaoka-kun!"
"Come on! Yamaoka!"
"Destroy him before he has a firm footing!"
"Yamaoka!"
"Axian!"
"Senior A Xian!"
"Let's solve it one by one! Ah Xian!"
"Let them fight here!" Pudding-senpai spoke again.
"Concentrate on the batter!"
"Axian! Let's deal with him here!" Maezono's loud voice interrupted.
"Kill them one by one!"
"Bottom of the Eighth Inning! No one out, runner on second base!
The batter is Yamaoka who has the ability Long Hit!
Can the reliever Kawakami suppress this inning and bring the lead to Final Inning? "
"Don't be afraid to swing short and use your swing to put pressure on the pitcher!
This pitcher has a very delicate heart! "Coach Kunimoto thought in his heart.
Of course, the pitcher's weaknesses have been communicated long before they started, and the players naturally know that this is just Coach Kunimoto talking to himself.
"That's great! The more critical the situation, the more you need to stay calm!
Even if there are still two bases open, even if you put two people on base, you only need to deal with the third person! "Kawakami recalled Senior Chris's guidance, hoping that he could regain his composure.
Senior Chris To put it bluntly, we should do our best to obey fate.
"It doesn't matter! You can hear the surrounding sounds clearly!
Such a wonderful game! If you say you don't want to play, that's an absolute lie!
I will attack with all my strength for every out count! "Kawakami stared at the batter and kept cheering himself up!
"First goal! Be careful! Even if it's a bad goal, it doesn't matter!
The rare side shot should be used as much as possible Strike Zone!
Is this also your specialty?
Ah Xian! "
"Huh!" Before pitching, Kawakami took a deep breath again.
"The beginning is the most important! Kawakami's psychology is too fragile. In this situation, we must give him some assistance!
Seniors! "Sendou looked at Pitcher's Mound's Kawakami and thought in his heart.
Kawakami is such a pitcher. If he is allowed to regain his mentality, his ball control and side shots will make him an extremely difficult pitcher in a short time.
But once the pressure is too much, it is easy to collapse, which is helpless.
Therefore, he is more suitable not as the last pitcher, but to consume the innings in the middle. At least there is a pitcher on standby behind him, so that he is safe whether in the middle or at the end.
If it collapses, replace him and the team will still have a chance to react, otherwise Seidou may really be tricked to death by him at the critical moment.
The previous life was theoretically more risky, but if Kawakami and Sawamura were interchanged, Kawakami would not be under so much pressure even if Final Inning was in crisis.
If Kawakami lasts until the second half of the ninth inning with two outs, and the situation ends with one out, Sawamura will end up with Seidou having a high probability of winning the game.
That kind of situation wouldn't give Sawamura a chance to think too much, it's because he was too smooth that he would think too much.
However, Coach Kataoka still hopes that Kawakami can finish the pitch in this game. As long as he is in the state, Kawakami is still very stable.
No one in Sawamura knows his status, he is a double-edged sword.
"Kawakami was ordered to board the board in the face of danger!
An eye-catching first goal! "The commentator was the first to speak after seeing Signals's surrender.
"Phew!"
"Ping!"
"Phew!"
"Bang!" This ball brought up a huge cloud of smoke, but it was quite far from the boundary line.
Kawakami is a side pitcher. When facing right-handed batters, the angle of Outside Corner Ball is too exaggerated and is of no use to Changeup.
For left-handed hitters, it's also an exaggerated Diagonal Fastball.
"Out of bounds!"
Kawakami looked at the smoke and dust and still swallowed.
But he knew he couldn't show weakness.
"Okay!"
"Good shot! Ah Xian!"
"Come on!"
"Yoxi yoxi! This is Kawakami!
Very impressive!
That's it! That's it! "Head Manager Oota kept cheering Kawakami.
"Phew!"
Kawakami tried to calm down, but his heart was beating fast.
The expression is also a little stiff.
However, fortunately there was a pause in the middle. After further adjustments, Kawakami adjusted his mentality.
"Call out!"
Yamaoka Seeing that this is Inside Corner Ball, the angle of this ball is not so exaggerated!
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
"Good shot!"
Yet when he swung the bat, the ball seemed to escape the bat.
However, the roar caused by Yamaoka's swing of the bat hit Kawakami like wind pressure.
Make him breathe!
"Slider! The swing was empty! Two good balls and no bad balls, the batter was chased after only two balls!" The commentator does not care what state Kawakami is.
"One more ball!" Kawakami, with a stiff expression, thought in his heart.
"The ball is very sharp!" Ninomiya said.
"Does the striker get the number of strikes on the first pitch and he has Fighting Spirit?" Yang guessed.
However, no matter what the audience outside the venue guessed, it was impossible to imagine the ups and downs of Kawakami's heart.
"Yo Xi!"
"Deal with him! Ah Xian!" Just look at the expressions of the guys in the support area, led by Maezono with loud voices, and you can tell that they can't see Kawakami's expression at all.
"Yamaoka! Don't be afraid!"
"Fight it out!"
Inajitsu's side is also not to be outdone.
"Huh!" Yamaoka saw this and held the bat shorter.
This hitter is as strong as Pudding-senpai, but his ability as Long Hit will not be ignored just because he holds a short bat.
"Hey!" Kawakami made a meaningless sound and threw with all his strength.
"Phew!"
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
It was a bad pitch that lured the batter, but Yamaoka remained calm.
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Slider in the outside corner! Departed again Strike Zone! Bad ball!
This time the number of balls is two good balls and two bad balls! "
"You can see it clearly! You can see it clearly!"
"You can hit it! Yamaoka!"
"Let's use this ball to decide the outcome!" Miyuki's layout is over, and what's left is a head-on confrontation.
At this time, Narumiya Mei is slightly off base!
If you want to attract the attention of the defense, even a little bit, I hope to help Yamaoka.
No one is out now, and Seidou, who doesn't want to lose points easily, can't just ignore it.
Otherwise, even if we get Yamaoka's outs and let Narumiya Mei move to third base with one out and three bases, facing the forced run by the skill hitter Hirai Tsubasa, will we give this point?
If you give it, it will be divided equally. If you don't give it, it will be like a chicken and an egg.
Of course this is completely regardless of his situation.
Narumiya Mei doesn't want much.
"Run if you want! The important thing is the hitter!" However, Miyuki is equally confident in his shoulders and has a strong personality. His target is still the hitter.
If you are beaten out, everything will be in vain.
"Come on! Use this ball to finish him off!"
"Phew!"
"Ping!"
Yamaoka held on tenaciously!
As a four-stick candidate, he has no obvious weaknesses.
He's also a tough hitter when he holds a shorter bat.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
"The ball is full!"
Every swing of Yamaoka is a kind of pressure for Kawakami.
"Phew!"
"Boom!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" After just a few balls, the pressure had already made Kawakami start to pant.
"Phew!"
"It's over!"
"Crack!"
"Four Balls!"
The tenacious Yamaoka won this war of attrition, and allowed Kawakami to throw a lot of Ball Trajectory to give subsequent hitters more opportunities to observe.
I finally finished it. I was really thinking and writing at the same time. I have to go to sleep.
Finally, ask for votes.
