"An opportunity?" But seeing Coach Ochiai's expression as if he were watching the game, Rei-chan didn't dare to ask any further.

However, she guessed that Sendou himself definitely knew, and she could just ask him that night.

Coach Ochiai also acknowledges Coach Kataoka's approach to training Sendou.

First, roughly fill in the fatal technical flaws in the original Immortal Sendou so that he can become a combatant immediately.

He then focused on strengthening those technologies that could bring about a qualitative change in him.

Those details that require time can be addressed gradually, while accelerating his evolution through numerous formal matches.

Even someone who doesn't understand sports knows that a year of intensive training might not be as fast as the progress made in a few tough battles.

Coach Kataoka simply didn't expect Sendou to become a regular starter so quickly, then move into the Center Batting Lineup, and finally become Cleanup Hitter comparable to Yuki at Koshien.

His original plan was to have him serve as a pinch hitter for the ace, and then try to promote him to starting outfielder in the summer.

As a result, before summer even arrived, this guy had already evolved into the team's center hitter...

Kuramochi, recalling Isashiki-senpai's words, sat silently on the bench, secretly resenting his poor performance in the previous match for causing his senior to worry.

"Why are you sitting on the bench without saying anything, Senior Kuramochi?"

They're only down by three points; if the bench isn't lively, morale won't be boosted!

Sendou is about to change the score!

"Oh?... What's wrong?" Sawamura saw Kuramochi sitting on the bench and started making a fuss, but he could tell from his expression what had happened.

However, Kuramochi didn't say a word, and Sawamura, unusually tactful, withdrew.

On the other side of the field, Miyauchi-senpai was in a terrible mood; he was completely disturbed by Sendou's actions.

He got two bad shots right off the bat, and he didn't dare try the third one.

"Snort!!

This kid definitely knows we want good shots.

But we had no choice but to invest...

However, now we have no choice but to Head-on Showdown!

"Take advantage of his low point and teach this kid a lesson!" Miyauchi-senpai exhaled heavily through his nose, thinking to himself.

"The number of ball types Tanba has now... even this kid couldn't possibly guess what the next ball will be!"

Bring it on!!"

"Um!

That's incredible!

Before, I never dreamed that I would one day be able to have a serious Head-on Showdown with you!

Winning Koshien... my progress...

To a large extent, it's the glory you brought us!

As a senior...

The only thing I can do for you is to do everything in my power to solve your problem!!!

"Puff!"

"Fushi!"

"Call out!"

"Boom!"

"He did make a move, but with the ball falling at this angle, it will only go out of bounds!" Miyauchi-senpai thought to himself.

His eyes widened immediately the next second.

"Ping!"

Miyauchi-senpai watched as the bat, almost perpendicular to the ground, scooped up the falling Forkball.

"Call out!"

"Puff!"

The ball traveled in a small parabola as it passed through the infield!

"Yoshi! A single for center!!" Kanemaru shouted immediately.

"Is this... a low point?" Miyauchi-senpai was starting to doubt his life.

"As expected of the fourth batter! He's so reliable!!"

"The first hit of the day for the active team!"

And he even made it to second base!

"You can't tell at all that you've had a month of rest!"

"Yes!"

Normally, a hit in front of a center doesn't reach second base, even for Captain Tetsu.

Because when facing the Captain Tetsu, many powerhouse outfielders won't back down much.

However, when facing Sendou, any team with the form to decide the outcome of the battle will retreat to a position where they can run to the fence in a few seconds.

Fortunately, in order to block Sendou's short game, only Captain Tetsu and Pudding-senpai moved up to third base, while the second baseman didn't move.

One of them was chasing the ball and the other Backup Position; otherwise, Sendou could have jumped to third base with his speed.

Although for Sendou, with no runners ahead, it seems like there's no difference between second and third base...

However, statistically, there is a difference Double Hit. (laughs)

"Did you guess that ball just now?" Oni-san asked, leaning closer.

I guess so!

Two balls already, I don't think Miyauchi-senpai would throw a fastball into the Strike Zone.

Therefore, I think it's Changeup.

Although I couldn't guess which type of Changeup it was, I left it to my body to decide.

"Still the same old way, the same animalistic attack style as Tetsu!"

"I'm a little different from Tetsu-san!" Sendou said with a smile.

Onii-san didn't say much, just a strange smile on his face.

There are two differences between Sendou and Captain Tetsu's attacks.

Although both players rely on their bodies to make judgments when throwing, the fundamental difference between Sendou and Captain Tetsu is that Sendou thoroughly analyzes and thinks before throwing the pitch.

To help the body narrow the aiming range as much as possible, the pitcher should completely rely on the body to make the judgment when throwing the ball.

The "Gossip Tetsu" doesn't have that much thought process; he simply observes the ball to decide whether to shoot, leaving the rest to his body to handle.

The second difference is that although both rely on physical judgment, when Captain Tetsu observes the ball, his brain makes a simple judgment: whether it's a good ball or a bad ball, and whether to shoot or not.

The Sendou, however, entrusts all of this to the body itself.

After asking the question, Oniisan returned to his previous position, completely ignoring Sendou's presence.

Normally, with a runner on second base, between the two shorts, one of them will go to second base to defend, depending on the characteristics of the next batter and runner.

However, because it varies from person to person, runners are Sendou, and there are no runners ahead of them, so the only option is to ignore them.

To put it bluntly, if you want to run, you'd better get to third base and stop getting in the way...

At that moment, Miyuki walked into the Batter's Box with a serious expression.

At that Miyuki, Miyuki recalled the words Coach Kataoka had said to them after the match between Cheng Xiang and the others.

Especially the sentence, "He couldn't realize the importance of securing even one point, which led to that kind of performance!"

Miyuki equated this statement with "If the team doesn't realize the importance of securing even one point, they won't win the game!"

One point!

First, we need to play steadily and get at least one point!

Seeing Miyuki's serious expression, Sendou was slightly surprised, but then he understood what was going on. After a slight smile, he began to move away from the base in large strides.

This Good-for-nothing Duo who are always inseparable have a tacit understanding between them that's no joke.

The reason why it's impossible to replicate Sendou Captain Tetsu's tactics is simply because Miyuki and Captain Tetsu are different types of hitters, not because they lack chemistry.

Sendou has already understood Miyuki's will and thoughts.

It hasn't been suppressed yet... Adjusting my sleep schedule is still a long and arduous task; I can only continue to work on it tomorrow.

Finally, I'm asking for your votes... Goodnight everyone.
