Jun-san's Lecture
Before, Furuya relied on his ball speed to make it difficult for others to hit him, but in front of people who are familiar with him, it is easy for them to find his weaknesses.
Jun-san had long wanted to blast this ball out to dampen Furuya's "arrogance."
Furuya looked on in disbelief as he saw how perfectly his bad pitches were caught.
"We were immediately subjected to the baptism of the seniors!"
"And the next hitter is..."
"It's a pity... If it were the Summer Team, they would have to face Sendou Yuuki's attack with no outs on second and third base!"
I really want to see it!
"Haha! Are you a devil?"
How could they even think of such cruel things!
After all, in these Red and White Battle, there's no way to guarantee a win for the attacker!
"Where?! So, isn't that how Seidou's opponents have all come from?" The audience member who had wanted to see the Sendou Yuki duo retorted, unconvinced.
"That's true!"
It's already a rare thing for a top-tier team to have even one of the nation's best hitters.
Who would have thought that Seidou in the summer would not only have Yuuki, but also a monster like Sendou in the first year!
It's likely that we'll never see two such well-balanced hitters on the same team again.
Even Azuma Kiyokuni last year, was in his third year when he became the nation's top hitter.
Even if another hitter like Azuma Kiyokuni appears next year, it's impossible for him to reach Yuuki's current level in his second year and recreate the Sendou -Yuuki combination.
"So I'm curious to see what kind of sparks will fly when the two of them team up again after their baptism at Koshien!"
"Alright! Alright! Yuki has stepped into the Batter's Box, the match is about to begin!"
Let's give the players some space!
"Jun-san!"
It really is true!
"The seniors are all so energetic today!" Kuramochi whispered to Isashiki-senpai at second base.
Although they played seriously in the Red and White Match, the seniors were in absolutely incredible form!
"Of course! Baka yarou!"
We're here to teach you a lesson!
What kind of rubbish were they playing in the previous matches?
If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't substitute, I would have liked to go up and take your place in the attack!
"And while I'm at it, I'll kill you all too!"
"Lesson?
I see! I'm so sorry to have worried you!
"Hmph!..." Upon hearing Kuramochi's words, Isashiki-senpai let out a soft snort, his tone softening considerably.
"Hey! Kuramochi!" Isashiki-senpai spoke softly in a normal tone.
"Hi!"
You guys!
Their strength is definitely not bad; at least the opponents they faced in the preliminary rounds could have been easily defeated early.
But you guys, when you're in the Batter's Box, you're thinking too much about useless things!
This resulted in their abilities not being fully utilized, which is why they played such an ugly game!
Making concessions to others is not teamwork!
Everyone did everything they could, and everyone worked together as a unified whole to achieve their goals.
That's true teamwork, just like what we just did!
Kuramochi hearing Jun-san's words, Kuramochi's eyes widened in surprise.
"If you can't adjust your mindset, our Seidou might become known as the one-man team of the Sendou this autumn!"
Is this okay?
You guys... are seniors!
That's all the advice I have for you. Now it's time for a lecture.
"Give me the best you can do, you bastard!!!" The usually calm and collected Isashiki-senpai suddenly turned vicious again at the last sentence.
Kuramochi was taken aback by Isashiki-senpai's sudden change of expression.
However, Kuramochi also realized his mistake.
This is also the result that our predecessors wanted to achieve.
"Fight it out!! Tetsu!!" Just as Kuramochi was stunned, Isashiki shouted loudly.
It turns out that home plate is ready, and the game is about to start again.
"Puff!"
"Piu!"
"Thump!!!"
"Nice shot!"
"First ball Fast Forkball, misses!!!"
"No outs on second and third!"
Have you adjusted your mindset? Furuya!!
Cheol- Captain Tetsu, who had just missed, looked at Furuya, who seemed to be spitting out air as if he were pouting, and his face was full of satisfaction.
Miyuki stood up and stared at Captain Tetsu, his expression grave!
"As expected, it's impossible to escape unscathed from this situation!"
If you're going to throw a fastball, now's the time!
"Puff!"
"Piu!"
"Thump!!!"
"Bad ball!!"
"Oops!!
They're teammates... but it's so exciting!!
"This showdown!!" Senior Itai exclaimed excitedly.
"Puff!"
"Piu!"
"Thump!!!"
"Nice shot!"
"This at-bat has been throwing Fast Forkball in a row!!"
"The runner is on third base, he's really strong!" Oni-san thought to himself.
"Snort!
"It looks like I'm running away!" Isashiki-senpai thought to himself.
"With one bad and two good balls, when will you finally throw the ball?"
Straight ball!! "
Captain Tetsu smiled at Furuya again, then turned his gaze to the figure of Sendou behind him and glanced at him.
Refocus!
"Puff!"
"Could it be... that he's going to throw a third quick pitch..." Senior Itai exclaimed as he saw Furuya's pitching spot from the side.
"Piu!"
"Ping!"
"Call out!"
"A hit in front of left field!!!"
"As expected of the fourth batter!!"
That kind of bad ball went into the outfield!!!
"Third base runner returns!!"
The runner on second base...
"Stop!"
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
Upon hearing Leizhi's shout, Isashiki-senpai immediately stopped, and almost instantly a flash of white light passed before his eyes.
A large group of people looked in surprise at the first-year student in the outfield.
"Huh? Tojo?"
These are really nice shoulders!
"That guy was originally a pitcher, wasn't he?" Isashiki-senpai asked.
"Don't give up! You bastard!! Don't give up being a pitcher!!!" From Isashiki-senpai's shouts, those who knew the inside story could tell that he hadn't forgotten what happened before.
Captain Tetsu remained stationary at first base.
This Natural Airhead could never have thought about Tojo, but he knew his former partner very well.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Tojo, except for Captain Tetsu, who only glanced at him before fixing his gaze on the person next to him. Sendou had already run to Tojo's side.
Based on his understanding of Sendou, he didn't know if third base would be eliminated after this misdirected play, but he was definitely going to be eliminated.
For Captain Tetsu, being on a different team from Sendou is a new experience.
Because of his personality, Sendou finally came to him with a new idea, and he listened from the side and then the two of them began to experiment.
The duo, renowned throughout the nation, was led by the junior, Sendou.
That's why they spent a particularly long time together.
Captain Tetsu was also extremely happy to see new juniors emerging.
This shows that the team still has great potential.
