Seeing Kuramochi's speed, Ugumori was extremely surprised.

Like other teams, the perception of speed in videos differs greatly from that in reality.

I never expected Kuramochi to be so fast.

"That's right! Just hit the ball on the ground!"

"Your only advantage is your speed!" Sawamura shouted.

"Shut up!!" Kuramochi immediately yelled.

"Two bats! Right fielder, Shirazu-kun!"

This time, Kuramochi harassed Umemiya from the bases.

However, the opponent's experience is far superior to Furuya's.

After controlling one ball, and estimating the safe distance for Kuramochi to return to base, he stopped paying special attention.

At this moment, Shirazu adopted a short-sleeved stance.

"So you're already planning to use touch-based attacks so soon!" Owada Akiko exclaimed in surprise.

"Although we lost three points, it's still the first game, so there's no need to rush!"

Seidou wanted to express his desire to catch up first.

"It's all about willpower!" Mine Fujio continued explaining to his junior, explaining that this was what a senior was all about.

"As expected of someone who is very calm!"

"If we rush things, we're more likely to make mistakes, which will give us an opportunity to exploit!" Minami Tomo thought to himself.

"Puff!"

"The runners have started!"

At this point, the infielder was ready and waiting for Umemiya to pass the ball.

"Call out!"

"Um?"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"Safety!"

However, at the crucial moment, Shirazu-senpai put his bat away.

Since Shirazu-senpai was left-handed, it was a significant advantage for the runner on first base.

Kuramochi won once again with speed.

"Nice cooperation!"

"Well done!"

"When did these two people arrive?" Sawamura exclaimed in surprise.

This kind of coordination can't be mastered in just a few days, and Shirazu-senpai had only recently become the second batter.

"I see!

Is this Seidou baseball?

A blend of composure and assertiveness!

"Apply pressure from all sides: attack, defense, and base running!" Minami Tomo laughed after his initial surprise.

He hadn't expected that Seidou would develop such a coordinated playing style after such a short period of time.

Seidou is the Koshien champion, and other teams are more or less familiar with Seidou's baseball style.

Shirazu once again adopted a short-suit stance.

"Bite!"

This time, it was a genuine base-sending!

"Smack!"

"Out!"

"That's runners' third base!"

"Nice bunt! Shirazu!!"

"Third batter! Second baseman, Kominato-kun!"

"Go for it, Haru!!" Sawamura immediately offered his encouragement.

"Keep the attack!"

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Despair!"

"Huh!" Umemiya was taken aback by the opponent's first shot and instinctively raised his foot to kick the ball.

This time, it was Kuramochi and Koharu, who were running the bases, who were surprised.

"It hurts... yeah right! You bastard!"

Seeing Umemiya quickly pick up the ball, Kuramochi quickly returned to base. He had finally made it to third base and couldn't afford to be out so easily.

"Smack!"

"Out!"

Xiaochun was thus eliminated.

"That guy stopped it with his foot!"

"The third base runner is back!"

"If they get through, not only will they concede a run, but the batter will also be in second base!"

"And the next batter is a fourth-stringer!"

"Don't force yourself!" Inubushi Kouta a smile. (The one with the jagged teeth)

"It's alright! It just hit the protective gear!" Umemiya lifted her foot to show him.

"Foul!!"

"He kicked the ball with his foot!!" Sawamura exclaimed dramatically.

"No problem!" Kanemaru replied.

"Two out! Hold on tight!" Umemiya shouted, stretching out his hand.

"Oh!!!" Everyone responded loudly to Umemiya's words.

"Go for it, Ume-chan!"

"They are practically the face of the team!"

We can't let him continue like this!

"Sendou!" Miyuki thought seriously as he walked into the preparation area and looked at the high-spirited Ugumori.

"Fourth batter! Center forward, Sendou-kun!"

"Men, you know, they all have... their own world!"

If I had to use a metaphor... it would be... that star streaking across the sky!

Send it out! Immortal Path!!

Immortal Path!! Immortal Path!!

"It's finally Immortal Sendou-kun's turn!"

And there's a runner on third base!

"I wonder if Ugumori will challenge him to a duel?" Owada Akiko sighed.

"Being knocked out is only one point. Miyuki-kun and Maezono-kun, who has only recently begun to show his strength, are also formidable attackers."

Moreover, with two teams out of contention, Ugumori, whose morale is high at this moment, has no reason to back down! Mine Fujio affirmed.

Moreover, Ugumori's style is never one to back down; he prefers Head-on Showdown.

"This is the first time I've seen his face clearly today!"

"He's very tall and handsome!" Umemiya thought to himself as he looked at Sendou in the Batter's Box.

"Puff!"

"..."

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"Slow Curveball into the inside corner of the first ball!"

"Those two are so bold!"

Previously, the view of Kuramochi was always from the outside...

"The hitter isn't moving at all; he's not planning to shoot this ball!"

Want to observe the Ball Trajectory?

"This is nothing like Sendou-kun's style!"

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!"

"Puff!"

"Outside the boundary!"

"So fast!!"

"This way of playing basketball is just too exaggerated!"

"This guy is definitely different from the others!"

"We're after him!"

"Nice plum Ume-chan!"

"The second ball was a low straight shot to the outside corner... and the crucial point is that this ball was a bad one!"

"This is just Sendou-kun's style!"

Nobody knows which ball he'll let slip, and likewise, nobody knows which ball he'll shoot.

The key point is that he never cared about being harassed.

If you let your guard down just because you've caught up with Sendou-kun after only two goals, it could be disastrous!

"He'll feel more relaxed without it!"

The audience members were already chatting outside the venue.

"Watching the first ball go is understandable, but why take the shot on the second bad ball?" Minami Tomo frowned. No matter how many of Sendou's videos he had watched, he still couldn't understand this person's style of doing things.

As a treasure left by the previous generation, conquering the Sendou is a crucial part of conquering the Seidou Batting Lineup.

Minami Tomo was no stranger to the rumors of the Sendou, but he was not giving up and studied the Sendou all night long.

I want to know some of Sendou's habits and peek into his thought process.

However, all these efforts were in vain.

The only option left is Head-on Showdown, which is also what Umemiya wants.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Bad ball!"

"The third ball is a high straight shot to the inside corner!!"

"He didn't even shoot that ball!"

"There have been several instances of this kind of Ball Trajectory being hit in previous matches," Minami Tomo thought to himself, recalling Sendou's information.

Sendou's slicing shot against high balls in the inside corner is also a topic that people often talk about.

Although no one knows he's imitating Jun-san, it's because he's the one who uses it the most.

Could it be?

Is this guy aiming for a powerful curveball? Minami Tomo suddenly thought of a rumor about Sendou, which was also a possibility.

Sendou particularly likes to target the opponent's winning pitch and hit it as Long Hit to break the pitcher's confidence.

Minami Tomo hesitated for a moment when he thought about this, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

Subsequently, Minami Tomo gave a series of Signals to the audience.

Although they didn't know Minami Tomo's purpose, Umemiya and the others knew that he might have thought of something, and they had no objections.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Huh?" Sendou was surprised when he saw the ball, but he didn't hesitate to shoot.

"Ping!"

"Piu!"

"Puff!"

"Outside the boundary!"

"He's hit another bad ball in the outer corner!"

Moreover, this shot was further out than the previous one; was it indeed aimed at a powerful curveball?

Even if it's a bad ball..."Minami Tomo's heart was racing.

This is the tension of an impending Head-on Showdown with a powerful opponent.

The powerful curveball has the same trajectory as the Vertical Slider, so Seidou has always considered it to be Vertical Slider.

Since the change is vertical, it is naturally more advantageous at the outer corner.

That's why Minami Tomo deduced that Sendou was aiming for a powerful curveball when he kept hitting straight shots to the outside corner.

Minami Tomo was also very surprised that Seidou Batting Lineup, who had previously been very composed, was able to tolerate Sendou's risky actions in this situation.

Trailing by three points, with Kuramochi on Kuramochi, it was the fourth batter's turn to hit...

In this best-case scenario for Seidou, they would do anything to get at least one point.

However, Seidou's bench clearly indicated a laissez-faire attitude, and Minami Tomo had no choice but to accept it.

"We have the advantage in the number of goals!"

Now is not the time to pretend!

His opponent is the Japan's Number One, the strongest hitter in Japan!

Instead of hiding, this is a great opportunity to show our strength!

If you take down this batter with a powerful curveball!

There is no doubt that we will have the upper hand!

Disrupt him with Slow Curveball from the outside corner, then continue with powerful curveballs from the outside corner to decide the winner!

"We've been using the outside and inside corners alternately, but suddenly there are three consecutive shots to the outside corner with varying speeds. Even you couldn't hit those, right?" Umemiya whispered.

"Let's finish him off, Ume-chan!!"

Please! Fourth batter!!!

"Ume-chan!"

"This bad ball will do!" Umemiya thought to himself, raising his arm.

"Puff!"

"..."

At the moment of release, Sendou suddenly stepped forward and tensed his muscles, but did not release the ball.

This reaction would seem insignificant to others.

The natural reaction to Slow Ball following a series of Fastball.

"Looks like they're not planning to make a move!"

"So he was waiting for a powerful curveball, wasn't he?" Minami Tomo thought to himself.

At this moment, he admired Sendou's courage, or rather, he admired Seidou for allowing Sendou to be so willful.

Even when the opponent has created a situation that is unfavorable to him in many ways, he still does not call a halt.

"Boom!!!"

"Ping!!"

"Um?!!"

"Na?!!"

Even when the Seidou players thought Sendou wouldn't make a move, he suddenly did.

Minami Tomo's idea is wrong in one aspect; it's not just that the Seidou benches condone Sendou's willfulness.

But even the bench players on Seidou had no idea what this guy was thinking.

Therefore, when this ball was shot, the Seidou players also exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey! This isn't the deciding shot... but it's a bad shot!" Umemiya Seiichi muttered to himself, somewhat bewildered.

"Center fielder!!!" The catcher was almost the most incredulous, because this was a bad pitch from the outside corner, and it had actually been hit into center field.

The fact that this ball flew to center field is entirely due to Sendou's long wingspan and the fact that his bat is exceptionally long, even in the Major League.

In addition, this was Slow Ball, giving Sendou enough time to adjust his lateral angle.

"That ball went very high and very far!"

The center forward quickly retreated again!

The ball didn't fall! The commentator didn't even realize he'd said it again.

Because when Umemiya Seiichi just attacked, he shouted almost the same words.

Since they were both very tall, it was impossible to tell who hit the ball higher, but the difference was that this shot was faster.

"Call out!"

"Puff!"

"They're inside!!!"

"A two-run Home Run!!"

And if we only count the at-bats in the head-to-head matchup, then it's Home Run in three consecutive at-bats in the Autumn Tournament!!!

A few seconds later, with the fence as a comparison, everyone knew that Sendou's shot was about the same height as Umemiya's.

However, the ball was too fast, and its landing point was dozens of meters farther than the ball from the Umemiya.

"Yoshia!!!"

The shouts from the other side of Seidou had already pierced the sky.

The original three-point deficit was reduced to just one point in an instant!

"Another shot from the Main Gun!!!"

It was like a response to Umemiya's Home Run!

"Yo..."

"Yoshi yoshi yoshi! Yoshi! Yoshi!!" Sawamura was about to shout when he was interrupted by Head Manager Oota, who rushed out from behind him.

"My Yoshi-suk..." Sawamura protested loudly.

Sendou stretched out his right arm, striking a pose that showed off his muscles like a drawn bow, revealing his Back Number to the bench.

Sendou, who usually doesn't care about Home Run, instantly made the bench understand his meaning with this gesture.

"I'm still here!!"

There's absolutely no need to worry about three-pointers.

The regulars remembered Sendou, who still smiled even after being kicked out, and instantly felt very relieved.

Miyuki smiled slightly. Although he was also very composed, it was impossible for him to be without pressure.

Of all the contestants, Sendou is the only one who is truly not worried at all!

"Really!"

"Then it would be completely pointless for me to get to third base!"

Kuramochi glanced at the guy in the Batter's Box with a smile, made a mental rant, and then started running the bases.

When she ran, she showed no sign of being annoyed at having her spotlight stolen.

"It's fake, right!!!"

So handsome!!!

Soga!

This is the man who stands at the pinnacle of Japan!

"The supreme treasure left behind by the previous King... Sendou Akira!" Umemiya exclaimed dramatically, then looked up and thought to himself.

Such a blow was of no consequence to what this man was carrying.

"You bastard!!"

Wouldn't it be pointless for me to get to third base then?

"You bastard!" After Sendou returned to home plate, Kuramochi jumped up excitedly, placed his hand on Sendou's helmet, and made Sendou look down before shouting out his earlier complaint. (Difference in height)

"But well done! You bastard!"

"Their expression just changed!" Kuramochi then laughed and cursed, as if taking a deep breath.

"I told you I was in great shape today!" Sendou said with a laugh as he was being tormented.

"Who knows if what you said before was true or false?!"

"That leaves only one point!"

"Let's quickly catch up in that unpleasant score!" Sendou said with a smile, shaking off his teammates.

However, these words were very encouraging to everyone.

"Oh!!"

"Yoshia!!!"

I'm in a rush today, let's talk about it tomorrow. Goodnight.
