"I didn't expect that my words came true! Kan!" When he found out that his opponent in the quarterfinals was Kiryu, Sendou sent a line to Hirobi Tate.
"Ah! Just right!
Don't have any regrets and fight with all your strength!
Last time Practice Match made you hit two Home Run!
I want revenge! "The introverted Hirobi Tate and Sendou talk a lot, which shows how quickly the relationship between the two has gotten closer in the past few months.
"Speaking of which! Our captain and Kan are both not very lucky!
We will play Xibang after the game, and Kyoma in the finals! "Sendou continued to send messages to complain.
Captain Tetsu's fortunes for the top eight Drawing Lots were extremely poor, and the first match's opponent, Kiryu, was naturally on the same schedule.
"Kyoma? The one with four pitchers like you?
Indeed!
Although the batting line is not particularly strong, the pitching staff is indeed very tricky, just like you!
During the special finals, just wait and see! "
After that, the two casually chatted for a few words and then went offline.
"It's almost time to forget the previous Practice Match!" Sendou sighed.
Indeed, although Practice Match got 13 points from Hirobi Tate, it was mainly due to the fact that Kiryu was not familiar with Seidou, while Seidou was familiar with Kiryu.
After all, Kiryu is the representative of Osaka, and the players in the Spring League are almost studied by famous families across the country.
That Practice Match can only be used as a reference.
After returning from Vending Machine, take a brief rest before starting War Council.
As for why it opens so late, the reason is not difficult to understand.
After all, the court is borrowed, and the days are very long in summer, so it is natural to practice at dawn as much as possible.
War Council Naturally, he has to wait until he comes back from the stadium, has dinner and rests.
Therefore, Sendou and others staged a farce with Vending Machine.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the Seidou players naturally gathered in the lobby provided by the hotel.
The video was ready, and Senior Chris also started holding his notebook and organizing the words.
"Our opponent tomorrow is the quasi-winner from last summer. Although the performance in the Spring League was not good, the abilities of each player were fully demonstrated, especially this strong line!
The overall strength of the wiring is stronger than that of Inajitsu.
The average back muscle strength of the team members exceeds 180 kilograms, and the balanced hitting line with heavyweight hitters will basically be Long Hit if it is hit. There is no such situation as Inajitsu where some hitters do not have Long Hit ability. The lower hitting line will not be weaker than us in terms of batting rate.
Center Batting Lineup with three to five sticks is also extremely powerful, not inferior to Inajitsu at all!
The previous Practice Match did not fully demonstrate their offensive strength, so they must not be underestimated.
Be prepared to lose a lot of points tomorrow!
Remember the detailed information of each hitter and the pitching array! "After speaking, Senior Chris tapped the table lightly with the pen.
Upon hearing this, several pitchers nodded at the same time. Tanba and Kawakami were extremely serious, while Double Pitcher had an obedient expression.
How exaggerated is Seidou Batting Lineup? The batting average in the lower position is not inferior to that of Seidou. Naturally, I will not talk about the situation of starting as a substitute. You must know that Seidou has hitters like Shirazu Miyuki in the lower position.
One can imagine how exaggerated Kiryu's plotting is. What is really scary is the balance, and it is completely different from Henggaku's balance.
"Then there's Kiryu's pitcher, and sure enough, he's still the same guy!
Hirobi Tate!!!
Kiryu High School is the absolute core of offense and defense, his ace and four sticks!
The average speed is over 140 kilometers, the maximum speed is 145 kilometers, the ball quality is overweight, and it has high-precision Four-Quadrant Control, so don't expect that the easy-to-play Ball Trajectory will appear in the short term.
Changeup has Slider that can slide from the high inside corner to the low outside corner, as well as a curveball that disrupts the opponent.
Moreover, his ball will not slow down due to fatigue, and the power of the ball will be strengthened, which was also discovered in the previous game Practice Match.
Because of the existence of this straight ball with both speed and power, hitters are more likely to miss Changeup and should pay special attention to it.
To be honest, it's really great to be able to play Practice Match with them in advance.
In Practice Match, although we scored a lot of points, on the one hand it was because we were unfamiliar with our line and did not have any specific tactics, and on the other hand it was the blow of Sendou and two Home Run.
Moreover, Sendou's Home Run is also aimed at Ball Trajectory, which is relatively easy to hit, and the opponent underestimates the enemy.
Therefore, the scores at that time cannot be used as a reference at all, and for tomorrow's game, they should also make arrangements based on the characteristics of each of our hitters!
So I think that in tomorrow's game, not only the pitching staff, but also the performance of the batting line is also very important. If you lose points, you can only rely on the batting line to recover. If you can't score, you can't win the game.
Playing our style is the key to tomorrow's game.
This is a battle of offense and defense at the same time, and it will be a brutal battle. "
Although this was all Senior Chris said, the players also had solemn expressions and fell into brief contemplation.
"Tomorrow will be a brutal battle!!!" Coach Kataoka said without giving everyone much time to think.
After all, they have done everything they can, and they know the precautions. All that is left is to see how they perform.
Coach Kataoka's speech naturally attracted everyone's attention.
"But! You are the ones who defeated that Inajitsu Narumiya Mei.
Kiryu is very strong, but due to the existence of Narumiya Mei, his overall strength is definitely not as good as Inajitsu.
We have done all the preparations that need to be made.
No matter at any time, don't forget to attack. Putting pressure on your opponents through various powerful attacks is Seidou baseball!
Trust your baseball!
And, head up and hold your chest high to face tomorrow's battle! "
"Hi!!!" Hearing what the coach said, the seniors looked at each other and smiled, and finally shouted in unison.
"Tomorrow's starter is Tanba! You!
As the ace of the team, lead the team! "
"Hi!!!" As the strongest opponent Koshien encountered during his trip, Seidou also used his trump card.
"Furuya I will not arrange for you to field in the outfield tomorrow, focus on pitching.
Kawakami, and Sawamura!
You must also be prepared at all times Bullpen! "
"Hi!!!" the other three on the pitching staff responded.
"Tomorrow is a battle for all, and then rest early!
If you are serious about dominating the country, just win! "
"Oh!!!"
Seidou's howling at being provoked by Coach Kataoka will not be shown for the time being.
a few hours ago...
"This is the final of the West Tokyo preliminaries!
After not seeing each other for a few months, both shooting and playing have experienced evolutionary growth.
Although I don't know why Tanba made such a low-level mistake, Koshien made all adjustments.
It was after this game that they ushered in their second evolution. "Kiryu's Coach Matsumoto brought everyone together and played the Seidou vs. Inajitsu match almost from beginning to end.
Although many parts are fast-forwarded, many parts are also highlighted.
This way players will be more impressed with their opponents.
"Especially these first graders, Furuya Satoru! Sawamura Eijun! And Sendou Akira!
It can be said that without the performance of these people, Seidou is likely to be blocked in the finals. Now the one standing next to Koshien is Inajitsu.
Needless to say, Furuya's high Fastball. The last Practice Match was in a training camp. From now on, the ball speed dropped sharply due to the fatigue of the training camp, and we didn't want to be hit by us, which caused problems in controlling the ball. That's why we scored so many points!
Sawamura Eijun, needless to say the characteristics of this man, his level of evolution is even higher than that of Furuya. It can be said that this man's explosion ended Inajitsu's final pounce.
Compared with when Practice Match almost always hit straight balls in the center, his ball control is completely different.
Not only can he control the high inside corner position, but he can also control the tricky Changeup like Carter Ball.
As for the low outside corner shot in the end, it was probably an accidental shot due to good condition.
But Koshien has only been on the board for three games, so stay vigilant. "
"Hi!!!"
"The real trouble is this man!" The last thing left on the projector was a photo of Sendou's last Home Run running the bases.
Coach Matsumoto's face was full of solemnity. He really didn't expect that these first-year pitchers had grown so much. It should be said that Coach Kataoka didn't expect that Coach Kataoka would actually give these two first-year pitchers so many opportunities.
However, it was impossible for Coach Matsumoto to meet. The day after they left, Tanba suffered a broken bone, which gave these two pitchers a chance to grow up quickly...
Sendou's growth was within his expectations, but the growth rate exceeded his expectations.
Sendou Practice Match, although being a center hitter was still a little less interesting, as a starter who is the core defensive backbone, he is definitely the best in the country.
A large number of appearances naturally means rapid growth for these first-year players. As famous players, they have seen too much.
Last year, there were two super newcomers, namely Xibang and Inajitsu!
Kiryu has no shortage of newcomers like this either.
"According to the strength shown by Sendou-kun and Home Run, [Baseball Kingdom]'s evaluation is absolutely correct!
Japan's Number One's hitter will not have a second choice, and Sano Shuzo is not even qualified to carry his shoes!
This was obviously revealed when his state reached an incredible level. The level of the first two seats was his true level at that time. There is no doubt about this.
However, judging from the first two games of Koshien, compared with the first few games played by Inajitsu, Sendou-kun once again ushered in leap-forward growth.
It won't be the undisputed Japan's Number One, who is also the top hitter!
And after placing Yuki behind him, his attack ability and destructive power are even more terrifying!
Although Koshien has not shown his base running speed, you should know very well how fast this man is.
Even if the distance between the bases is twenty-eight meters, it is definitely less than three seconds for this monster.
And even one of their sticks, or the fastest runner in White Dragon, would take at least 3 seconds.
(The fastest speed from first base to second base for White Dragon's top runner is 3.1 seconds. It seems that he is still far away from the base. Sendou definitely does not leave the base, so it feels extremely exaggerated.) "
After Coach Matsumoto finished speaking, Kiryu also had a deep memory of Practice Match. Sendou's completely amateur-level bunt allowed him to use his speed to hit a single.
Not to mention the subsequent consecutive stolen bases, it can be said that their mentality collapsed against Sendou's speed.
I know deeply that he is a runner who stands on the base and wants to make people call fouls, and is so strong that he commits fouls.
And although the short game between Inajitsu and Sendou was also bad, it was at least much better than when they faced them.
Others who are fast, such as Kuramochi, have really good hitting ability and just don't let him get on base. But to suppress Sendou and not let him get on base, they don't dare to have any extravagant hopes.
In addition, his follow-up hitter is still Yuuki, which is really not good news. The destructive power of this attack is really mind-numbing.
"You must not pile up too many runners in front of Sendou. You can try to fight him when there is no one on the base or there is someone on first base.
But it must be in a situation where Home Run cannot be typed.
Although this kind of hitter who pursues Long Hit has amazing destructive power, it is still relatively easy to deal with compared to hitters of the same level who pursue batting average.
After that, if there are many people on the base, avoid Yuki and decide the winner with the next batter!
Kan! You can do it! "Finally Coach Matsumoto looked at Hirobi Tate with a smile.
Just like Hirobi Tate's impression, their coaches are only gentle during games!
Hearing the coach's words made Sendou addicted and scared Miyuki. A smile like a skull hung on his face again.
The answer is of course self-evident!
Even in his previous life, Hirobi Tate was a high draft pick, and professional teams were very excited about his pitching ability, otherwise it would be impossible to compare with Sano Shuzo and Harada Masakatsu.
After all, one of these two people is Monster Batter, and the other is a high-quality catcher that most teams lack!
Catchers in professional games are sometimes replaced more frequently than pitchers. If the ball is slightly deflected, the weak part of the hand will come into contact with the strong ball, so replacements are necessary.
After all, the nerves in the human hand are extremely sensitive to touch, especially the fingers. This is what the so-called ten fingers are connected to the heart.
"Also! Have you also remembered the information of other people on the other side?" Coach Matsumoto confirmed.
"Hi!!!"
"We were unlucky, the schedule was unfriendly.
But if you win the championship under such circumstances, needless to say the gold content, I believe it will be the most proud thing in your life.
Moreover, Furuya Satoru, Sawamura Eijun, and Sendou Akira will definitely be great players in the future. Winning against them, even when they are rookies, is definitely something to be proud of.
Especially this man! Sendou Akira!
If this person is not seriously injured, he will definitely become a big shot that shocks the world in the future!
Imagine what it will be like to think back in the future that such a big shot lost to you!
It must be great, right?
So... you have to win! "
"Oh!!!"
That's it, it's a coincidence!
Kiryu's players were also taught by Coach Matsumoto and screamed!
Please vote!
Although asking for leave makes me feel inexplicably guilty, the 12 votes still hit my little heart a bit!
