"You let Furuya pitch to Fast Forkball at third base? That's not your style!" Back on the bench, Sendou said to Miyuki.
"Oh? Isn't he very strong?" Miyuki retorted with a smile.
"Being strong is different from this desperate style!" Sendou said lightly.
Miyuki saw Sendou's sarcastic expression and knew that this guy was deliberately teasing him, even though it was all true.
"To be honest, I had no choice at the time!
I always feel that if it were your character, you would definitely match the ball like this!
If it cannot be stopped, it may affect the status of Furuya. "Miyuki saw that Furuya's attention was not here and said in a low voice.
"What did you say to that guy? Something like that that would definitely stop them?"
"Are you Shunfeng Ear?"
"Well, forget it!" Sendou doesn't want to argue with Miyuki here.
Especially Miyuki looked very excited and wanted to challenge Sendou's mouth again.
Apparently he had forgotten about it, Sendou was about to go to the preparation area and wait.
However, when I saw Sendou starting to wear helmet protection, I realized this and quickly put away my excitement.
"Sendou!" Coach Kataoka said before the game started.
Sendou heard the sound and looked over.
"Center Batting Lineup in this round is a crucial round!
And Combination Technique between you and Yuuki might have been guessed by Coach Matsumoto.
So your linework will be key!
Please! "Coach Kataoka said seriously.
"Don't expect too much from me!
No one knows for sure when it comes to hitting, and a strong hitter may be struck out by a weak pitcher.
It is possible for a weak hitter to get Home Run from a strong pitcher! "Sendou raised his chin slightly, smiled... and said softly.
"Souga!...,
Then... let me put it another way,
... Don't be solved easily! "Coach Kataoka smiled. (Please feel it for yourself, it would be boring if you wrote everything down.)
"As you wish!" After saying that, Sendou turned around and left, his back looking unusually free and easy.
Back Number is so dazzling in the eyes of Coach Kataoka.
"Supervision!" Head Manager Oota didn't understand a word.
"It doesn't matter!" Coach Kataoka didn't want to explain.
Although the players don't know the meaning, seeing that expression is enough.
If this man failed, there would be nothing to complain about. It was just their bad luck.
The seniors have already formed this atmosphere since Sendou almost single-handedly brought them to the stage of Koshien.
a few minutes ago,
"This round is the most important round!
Sendou's playing mat will be provided by me. "Coach Matsumoto called Nagumo to the bench and said seriously.
"I know!" Nagumo nodded.
"I used to think of him as a guy who relied on talent and had no brains. It was a big mistake!
If you want to conquer this line, Sendou-kun is the absolute key. "Coach Matsumoto said.
Nagumo reminds me of what the coach said, Sendou can see the pitcher's miraculous skill in holding the ball at second base.
There is no objection to what Coach Matsumoto said, that Sendou is the core of Seidou Batting Lineup.
Thinking back to Sendou's previous batting, deliberately targeting Inside Corner Ball's insidiousness, they also understood that Sendou's brain was definitely not the kind of hitter they had in mind before the game who was not good at picking balls and swung the stick randomly.
He also knew that he couldn't lose a single point in this situation, so that he could deflect the momentum to his side.
As for why Coach Matsumoto doesn't always direct, the reason is very simple.
It's not that Coach Matsumoto's ball matching is so brilliant, but it's as a surprise attack.
Moreover, a pitcher who does not have a complex pitching system like Yang Shunchen, and who is sharpening his skills in the field, is very likely to be deciphered Signals.
If this situation is deciphered Signals, you can basically surrender.
Coach Kataoka aimed at Outside Corner Ball with a combination of punches before, and no one could stand it again.
"It's really enviable! There are so many players who can think independently, especially Sendou-kun and Miyuki-kun. It will be very easy to command like this!" After briefly explaining again, Nagumo waved his hand to let Nagumo walk onto the court. Coach Matsumoto sighed in his heart.
Just what Sendou did just now, helping the coach increase his power in selecting the ball, really surprised Coach Matsumoto.
Otherwise, it would not have been so late to discover that Seidou had already targeted Ball Trajectory, and the discovery was only due to good luck in looking at the scorebook.
Coach Matsumoto would be scared now, if it weren't for a strange look at the scorebook, and tried it out for the sake of being conservative.
If the player they were testing didn't happen to be Sendou, they might really have been taken away in a wave.
The two coaching heroes have the same view. They both believe that the first and possibly most important key point of this whole game that may become the turning point of the game is Sendou's playing position.
"In the second half of the seventh game, Seidou High School's attack,
Three sticks! Left field, Isashiki-kun! "
After a short pause between rounds, with this announcement, it was announced that the game had officially entered meat grinder mode.
Both coaches took a step away from the bench, stood facing each other with their arms crossed, and stared at the court.
"It's my turn, bastard!" The players naturally knew how crucial this game was and wanted to get the upper hand, so Isashiki walked into the court with what they thought was the most ferocious expression and posture.
Vertical Crab Step with a low center of gravity...
"Jun-san! Helmet!"
However, he forgot to wear a helmet again, and this guy is a habitual offender when he is the first hitter.
When Jun-san lost his momentum and went back to get his helmet...
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Don't imitate, and... you are shouting too slowly!" Kuramochi, who had just handed Jun-san the helmet, kicked Sawamura next to him, who had an inarticulate expression and an "evil" expression.
My brother is almost becoming an old father. Two words - I am tired!
"The second half of the seventh game! Both sides will usher in the fourth round of Center Batting Lineup three-stick start. The game finally entered the final moment of life and death.
Shocking changes may occur at any time, so please watch carefully. "
"Come here!!!" With the roar of Isashiki-senpai, the game officially started.
Nagumo looked at the bench, as if confirming something.
Coach Matsumoto nodded seriously as if to emphasize.
The catcher then lowered his right hand flat and stood up.
"Intentional Walk?!!!
The catcher is on his feet!!! "The commentator's confused exclamations could be heard in the audience.
The entire audience was also extremely confused and couldn't understand it at all, including the coaches and players of other teams.
Seidou There are only a few people on the bench who can understand the meaning behind this walk.
Coach Kataoka stared at Coach Matsumoto, who was holding his chest opposite.
"Supervision?" Head Manager Oota was a little flustered, because the coach opposite was really famous, and most humans have the fear of the unknown.
"It's confirmed now! The opponent wants to have a showdown with Sendou and completely grasp the trend of the game." Senior Chris said in a somewhat relaxed tone.
Behind this relaxation, there is a serious look in his eyes.
At this critical moment, Senior Chris couldn't laugh.
"Ah! The other party knows very well that Sendou is the key to our win!
It is also the one who must decide the outcome! "Coach Kataoka, who was standing diagonally in front of Senior Chris, replied without looking back.
Head Manager Oota looked left and right and couldn't understand at all, what does this have to do with sending Isashiki.
"In a situation where no point can be lost, and we are facing Sendou, who is difficult to suppress, in order to block his pace, it is necessary to have a runner in front of him.
Direct walks can also help pitchers conserve energy.
Moreover, in a head-to-head decision with four bats without any scruples, the pitcher will probably report his condition only because of this walk. "Miyuki seemed to be giving answers to everyone else, telling the answers to the previous two guessing conversations.
"Souga!
Indeed, as long as Sendou is on base, there is basically no difference from a triple.
Hahaha! "Head Manager Oota also responded with a smile.
Only he could laugh so loudly at this time.
Everyone has forgotten that the guy squatting in the preparation area is only a first grader.
But one of the top wealthy families in the country, the first line in the country, Main Gun... of Seidou High School.
Moreover, everyone from top to bottom of both teams, as well as tens of millions of viewers across the country who have watched the Seidou game, have no objections.
If you were a guy who had no interest in baseball, you would never believe that the person he was talking about was a first grader.
Even experts cannot believe it, but those who transcend human understanding of the world are so-called... true geniuses.
"Bad ball! Four!"
Isashiki threw the bat behind him, pointed his fist at the guy behind him, and slowly ran towards first base.
Everyone felt nervous.
"Four sticks! Backbone, Sendou-kun!"
At this moment, the entire audience, no matter which side they support, no matter what their purpose is.
Everyone focused their attention on the figure who stood up slowly, casually put the bat on his shoulders, kept a relaxed posture, and walked towards Batter's Box!
"The key matchup of this game!
Ace versus Four Sticks!
Which side controls the direction of the game?!!!
Where is the ace's will? Or is it the self-esteem of the four sticks? "
The commentator can tell that Sendou has the self-esteem of a genius.
The guy with more terrible talent also has more terrible self-esteem.
And for such Sendou, Hirobi Tate who still maintains Fighting Spirit, naturally has a very strong will and Fighting Spirit.
"I'm afraid that the three sticks that sent out Seidou were also to block Sendou-kun's progress.
It seems that everything is for the layout of the four-stick Head-on Showdown! "Today's guest said.
This suddenly answered everyone's doubts.
"Speaking of which, Seidou's opponent in the finals, Coach Kunimoto of Inajitsu, also said this in the interview after Regional Preliminaries's finals.
And it seems that the same tactic has been used in the game. "At this time, the commentator was inspired and found some information among the documents in front of him.
"Then, this banquet will be interesting!
A pitcher who is attracting professional attention and a monster with twenty-five Home Run just four months after entering school!
What kind of sparks will there be? "
Kiryu had already begun to adjust his position at this time, everything was in accordance with the instructions of Coach Matsumoto before the start.
Guard in the middle of the infield and retreat in the outfield to avoid Long Hit's defensive position.
Since Sendou has a runner on first base, Infield Hit is a profit for Kiryu.
If the position is not tricky enough, it will be difficult for the ball in the outfield to form Double Hit.
After all, there is a drag bottle in front of Isashiki, which is holding up the speed of Sendou, so Isashiki cannot run to third base, and Sendou can only stop at first base.
"Ah... oh!
You have also made various considerations! "Sendou walked up to Batter's Box and stretched his body and said.
"That's right!" Nagumo replied casually.
"This guy!!
Very relaxing! This is a critical moment! Aren't you a little nervous?
What is this guy's heart made of? "Nagumo dealt with it casually, but in his heart he was in such a relaxed state that his hair stood on end.
He had never seen or even heard of such a big-hearted player.
After swallowing, Nagumo looked at the bench.
I feel so lucky that I don't have to match the ball myself, and I can also learn something through the coach's matchmaking.
After all, the experience gap is obvious, and Nagumo is not a strategic genius. Like Huo Qubing, a genius Western military strategist, he sees through the essence of tactics and is completely adaptable to changes, so experience is still very important to him.
Coach Matsumoto also frowned.
Although I couldn't hear what Sendou said, I could still see the relaxed expression clearly.
In this situation, he can still maintain a calm and relaxed posture, and cannot expect any hesitation or deformation of his movements in his swing.
However, he just frowned and immediately gave the first Signals.
Then Nagumo used the throw to catch Signals to convey the supervision's ball distribution.
It can also confuse opponents.
Hirobi Tate, who also knows how to supervise the ball distribution himself, will naturally not hesitate to Signals.
This is also the prestige of the supervisor all year round, giving players endless confidence.
Just like the famous generals in ancient times, the soldiers' morale is high when they stand there, because some generals represent victory.
"Hey?" Hirobi Tate raised his leg after making a weird laugh.
Sendou I am so satisfied looking at that smile, I just can't get enough of it!
"Poof!"
"Phew!"
"Crack!"
"Good shot!"
"First pitch Slider! The batter missed!!!" the commentator shouted.
In this crucial game, every ball is worthy of his crazy output (roar).
"First goal Slider!
The matchmaking has completely changed! That bastard! "Isashiki cursed at first base.
Then, Nagumo looked at the bench again.
Then Coach Matsumoto gives Signals again, this time with some meaningless fake Signals added. (After all, they are also at a professional level)
"That's it! Has the person playing the ball changed?"
At this time, the soft voice from Batter's Box sounded like thunder in Nagumo's ears.
"This man... just one ball and two Signals has seen through everything?
How is this guy's brain structured? "Nagumo really doubted life and looked at Sendou in disbelief.
Nagumo Now I really want to complain.
Body and mind, all in one?
Are you a biological child of God? Moreover, it is the only one and the one I prefer the most!
I had a headache again today, and I couldn't measure it, so I didn't know what High Blood Pressure was, so I went to bed first.
This is also the reason why I am writing this so early today, before my thoughts are distracted by my headache.
