" Miyake Teruhiko hour, and his top speed can reach 140 kilometers per hour. His ball control is slightly better than Hoshinomiya's. His Changeup are curveball, Slow Curveball and Slider!"
Although a straight shot is slower, it has a high spin rate and is quite sharp.
The key is how to distinguish between curveballs and Slow Curveball while dealing with Slider attacks under the Four-Quadrant Control!
However, his mental fortitude is not as strong as that of Ace Hoshinomiya! " Senior Chris said quietly, referring to this pitcher's information.
Of course, the players are also very clear about this information.
"This kind of crisis feels like something we haven't seen in a long time!"
We've been relying on Sendou to get things going all along, and we third-years don't want to give up so easily!
They didn't want others to think that only Sendou and Tetsu were dangerous fighters in Seidou, and that the others were no big deal.
I know my responsibilities, and I also know that I may never be as good as those two people.
But only this time...
Just wait! A reliable junior!
"I will definitely make them fight you to the death!" Isashiki gripped the baseball bat tightly.
This man doesn't know how to hold a short bat, nor does he need to.
"Come on, you bastard!!!"
"That's it! Rumble, Isashiki!"
" Evil Oni Senpai!"
"Don't lose, Teruhiko- senpai!"
"Given this situation, let's try a slightly off-target shot to see how Teruhiko is doing!"
If the referee had just slightly skewed the line today, he would have given the ball a good score!
bring it on!"
Having seen the Signals, Miyake Teruhiko quickly adjusted his breathing!
He knew that as long as they got one elimination, no matter who it was, they had already won more than half the battle.
However, the opponent was also very aware of this, and since it was Center Batting Lineup, they were exceptionally tenacious, which put a lot of pressure on Miyake.
Everything in the team fell on his shoulders.
Moreover, in order to conserve his ace's energy, he pitched until the very end before being replaced yesterday.
I'm feeling fatigued right now, and my performance at the start of the game is easily unstable.
Therefore, he was very worried that something might happen to him.
Moreover, Isashiki was indeed aiming for the first ball of the game; he would definitely take it if it suited his taste.
At this moment, Isashiki only wanted a single base.
"Hoo! Ha! Hoo!"
"Puff!"
"Here it comes! First goal!"
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Puff!"
"Outside the boundary!"
"Pfft!~" The entire Seidou bench exhaled!
"Pfft!" Miyake and Saibang also exhaled to relieve the pressure.
The ball landed just behind third base, very close to the sideline, which startled both sides.
Jun-san has the skill to hit any ball to the right doesn't mean he can't hit it to the left.
"His first goal was quite sharp and his Ball Trajectory was very good. Teruhiko's form is by no means bad!"
But what impact will this swing have?
However, once you hit a good shot, there's no need to be too timid.
here!"
Come on, you bastard!
"Come on! You bastard!" Jun-san kept muttering to herself.
The pressure is obviously immense.
Seidou's luck in this game was by no means bad. What's truly terrifying about baseball is that, as the offensive side, you have absolutely no right to choose which batters will shoulder the burden of this Death Struggle.
If it's a two-out match, ending with one out, and the batter happens to be the weakest batter, then it's truly a situation where no one can help you.
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
" Slider!"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
Isashiki-senpai forcibly stopped the bat.
The angle of this Slider is so similar to the previous straight shot Changeup he initially thought it was a straight shot when he first saw it.
Fortunately, the Slider wasn't as well-executed as Narumiya Mei's; Jun-san's paddle selection ability was even better than Captain Tetsu's.
Narumiya Mei's Slider was almost hit by Jun-san, but Captain Tetsu was unable to hit it and could only make it out of bounds.
Therefore, it was Seidou's turn to bat at Isashiki, which was very lucky.
"With two consecutive outside shots, the batter will probably have a hard time reacting to the inside shot. Use this ball to trick him into shooting."
"Bring it on!!"
"As expected, the spirit of third-year students is not simple!" Seeing Isashiki's strong Fighting Spirit, Miyake Teruhiko swallowed, but he did not show any fear.
He's not the only third-grader with no way out!
All of Saibang's players, except for Ichinose base, are currently third-year students in the infield.
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Na..."
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"141!"
The ball speed was displayed on the big screen. Every ball in Koshien has its speed displayed, after all, it's the home stadium of a professional team.
"The third ball was a straight shot into the inside corner!!"
"What a pity it was a bad ball!"
"That was close! I almost made a move!"
Although the chopping swing is Jun-san's specialty, his explosive power is not as great as Sendou's.
Therefore, he cannot complete such a swing with a 140 km/ Fastball.
"This person really knows how to watch football!"
Two bad things and one good thing!
But they'll quickly turn the score around.
here!"
"Call out!"
"Call!"
"Slow... curveball!"
"Yalu!" Isashiki forcibly twisted his body, controlling the bat at the last moment, just like when he hit Narumiya Mei's Changeup.
"Ping!"
"Guerrilla!!"
"Ah!" Isashiki as fast as she could, using all her strength.
"Call out!"
"Puff!"
"Smack!"
"Plop!"
" Isashiki-senpai!!"
" Jun-san!"
Isashiki had just reached base, dramatically fell to the ground, staring intently at the umpire.
They didn't care about the pain they were in.
"Safety!"
"Yoshi!!!"
"Did you see that, you bastard?!" In that instant, some unknown force caused Jun-san to stand up and roar to the sky!
"Are you alright?" The referee came over to ask about Isashiki's condition.
"No problem!" Isashiki didn't want the match to be paused like this.
Although it was only for a moment, Isashiki saw that the opposing pitcher was clearly somewhat stunned. Even though he shook his head to adjust himself afterward, it showed that the pitcher was definitely not in his best condition.
"No! You need to be checked, the game is suspended!" The referee refused him and issued an official timeout.
This also gave the other side more breathing time.
"I'm sorry, Sendou!"
"We clearly had a chance!" Sendou stepped forward to check, Isashiki apologized quietly.
What are you talking about?
That's enough!
"It's much better than not seeing any good plays, or being automatically drafted!" Sendou comforted him softly.
"Ah! Then it's up to you now!"
"Four batters!!" Isashiki glanced at Sendou in surprise, then closed his eyes and whispered.
He was surprised by Sendou's words, because it was clear that Sendoh was taking all the responsibility and pressure upon himself.
Therefore, Isashiki, as the senior, was somewhat surprised and unwilling, but in the end, she could only resign herself to handing the task over to this man.
Even though he knew that Sendou was already very tired.
The pitchers didn't play consecutive games, but the others had a high-intensity game every day, so the third-year students' stamina was definitely not a problem.
However, since his physical condition was not good to begin with, Sendou was visibly tired.
No matter what, this guy has only been in high school for four months!
Furthermore, he had not received any training in youth or Little Senior League, and since he was playing in center field, even if the ball wasn't in center field, he still had to run over to Backup Position, which resulted in a lot of physical exertion.
When facing strong opponents, most of the opportunities are created by this guy's bat!
They also often played the role of saviors in defense.
That's why they, the third graders, were unwilling to accept it!
Finally, after a brief consultation and massage by the doctor, Isashiki was determined to be fine, and the competition was allowed to continue.
However, Miyake's expression remained completely expressionless.
"Fourth batter! Center forward, Sendou-kun!"
"Oh!!!"
"Ah!!!"
" Sendou-kun!"
"Fight back!"
This outcry!!!
The game has finally resumed! No outs on first and second, batter in fourth!
Seidou has been given a chance to prevent the match from ending!
Will they be able to seize this opportunity?
The opposing team's fourth batter hit a beautiful Long Hit right in front of him, and the audience was eagerly awaiting Sendou-kun's response.
Sendou walked into the Batter's Box with his left hand gripping the bat, took a few deep breaths, and got into position.
"No matter how monstrous he is, he's still a first-year student!"
Have you finally started to feel fatigued after a series of matches at Koshien?
And everything in this game is on your shoulders!
This guy is definitely not as invincible as he looks! Teruhiko!
Miyake also understood Kiriyama's meaning through Sendou's actions.
When he first learned that he would be going to have to decide the game with this batter in the Strike Zone, he was really unsure of himself. Geniuses are creatures that defy imagination.
For the first time, he realized that the genius before him was, in the end, just a human being.
He's also a first-year student, so he'll feel tired.
"Since you feel tired, don't blame me!"
When you're tired, it's harder to concentrate, and your thinking can even slow down. Let me further distract you!
"The first shot you've been holding your breath for, the one you're really eager to take." Kiriyama gave the Signals for the first shot.
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"What happened? Weston's pitcher and catcher? He threw a bad pitch that was way off target!" the commentator said, puzzled.
"Yosh! That's it!" Kiriyama glanced at Sendou, who had an expression that suggested he wanted to make a move but managed to suppress it.
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Puff!"
"Outside the boundary!"
"A high-speed Slider from the Inside Corner Ball! Unfortunately, it went behind him and became a throw-in!"
"Can he still hit it? This guy is really illogical!"
"We're both so tired!" Kiriyama abandoned his desire to quickly decide the outcome.
Even after making this move, Sendou was still panting heavily.
" Sendou! Fight your way out!"
"Come on!"
" Sendou-kun!!"
"Damn it! What are you doing, Sendou!" While the others were cheering, Sawamura had an angry expression and muttered under his breath.
" Sendou!!!" Sawamura shouted at the last moment!
His loud voice was so penetrating that Sendou couldn't help but look over.
"Look at you covered in sweat, it's really embarrassing!"
Enjoy the game, and you won't feel tired—isn't that what you said?!
Isn't this game worth enjoying?!
Who was it that said they were starting to find baseball somewhat interesting?
Isn't it you, you bastard?
Who's being controlled by those messy thoughts and pressures right now?!
"Beat him to a pulp, then come back to the bench and let me teach you a lesson!!"
The guy on the bench realized that he was talking well at first, but suddenly the conversation went off-topic, and then the others covered his mouth.
"Phew!!!" Sendou looked up and exhaled the longest breath he had taken that day.
"I never dreamed that I would be reminded by you one day!"
But you're wrong about one thing!
Eijun!
Pressure is something that doesn't exist for me; it's just that I really want to Long Hit.
The physical fatigue and the tactile sensation in my hands when hitting Long Hit... I became a little too obsessed.
So much so that I forgot that, not only is it harder to fly further with more effort, but even striking well becomes difficult. Thinking of this, Sendou lowered his head and readjusted his posture, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Suddenly I'm not out of breath anymore? But the fatigue won't go away."
Give him a Slow Curveball to the outside corner!
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Call out!"
"Pfft! Smack!"
"Outside the boundary!"
"This guy plays ball!!!"
Ichinose passed through his defensive range without any reaction whatsoever!
But that makes two good shots too!
"We're after him!"
"Go! Sendou!"
"I see. Is the longer breath you're using to relieve this fatigue?" Seeing Sendou exhale slowly after hitting the ball, Kiriyama understood why his playing style had suddenly become more ferocious.
This is the real showdown.
"You can't just throw Slow Curveball anywhere, it'll get hit!"
"Shoot the ball here next!"
"Um!"
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
Another bad shot that went way off target. Kiriyama watched as Sendou, who was about to shoot but held back, once again looked at him.
"With so much accurate ball control, Teruhiko has built up a lot of confidence. Now it can be said that this is an excellent opportunity to decide the outcome!"
A low, outside Slider! A bad shot that clearly veers off course, then slides into the Strike Zone.
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Pfft!" Sendou realized it was the outer corner and instinctively moved his right foot forward.
"Hmm?" Realizing it was a bad ball, the bat, which was halfway through its swing, began to slow down. Then, noticing something was wrong with the spin, it increased its power again.
"Secondary acceleration? Even if it hits, it'll only be..." Kiriyama saw it too, but balls that use secondary acceleration usually don't fly very far.
"Ping!!"
"Oh!... Left field!!!" When the bat and the ball met, Kiriyama knew something was wrong.
He quickly stood up and shouted.
The left fielder, who had already retreated, turned and retreated.
"Call out!"
"Oh!!!"
"Will they go in?!"
"Bump!"
Finally, the ball hit hard near the junction of the Home Run fence and bounced to the edge of the field.
Because in outfield, as long as the ball lands in the field, it's considered in the field no matter where it bounces. Akashi Seiya, who was almost near the fence, had red eyes.
