Seidou's Counterattack
"Don't let yourself get taken care of so easily!" Sendou whispered as he passed by Miyuki.
"I understand!" Miyuki nodded.
For the Seidou players, Sendou's victory was a given.
Therefore, no one would think that Sendou's ability to hit the ball would make it seem like the pitcher is easy to defeat.
However, Miyuki was different.
"That person is truly impressive!"
They've already lost two points so quickly!
"I'm sorry everyone!" Umemiya said with a smile to the guards behind him.
"Don't worry about it, Ume-chan!"
"That's a monster!"
"Right!
Just suppress the subsequent attackers!
"Sure enough, everyone takes it for granted that the Sendou should be driven out!"
"In that case, I can't be easily defeated!" Miyuki thought to himself seriously as he looked at the other party's shout.
"Fifth batter! Catcher, Miyuki-kun!"
"Aim and fire!!"
Fight them out! Fight them out! Fight them out! Fight them out!
"Hit it out! Hit it out! Let's hit a Home Run!" The stands were singing Miyuki's cheering song, even though part of the lyrics had already been changed.
"Nice strike!" Coach Kataoka said to Sendou, who had returned to the bench.
"Thank you so much!"
"Puff!"
"Ah!"
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Outside the boundary!"
The duel on the field has begun. First, a fastball to the outside corner was thrown, followed immediately by the second ball!
"Puff!"
"Beep!"
"..."
"Ping!"
Seeing the Slow Curveball from the inside corner, Miyuki forced himself to hold his ground and forcefully swept it out of bounds at first base!
"Nice ball!!"
"They're pressing us!"
"Nice Ume-chan!"
"You're not using your core strength!!!"
You just wanted to touch the ball, that's why you can't fly very far!
You need to snap your waist!
"Look like this, you need to be careful with your waist..." Sawamura shouted as he demonstrated.
To be honest, Sawamura's backflip was very standard, and his explanation was exceptionally accurate, but...
"...!" Miyuki was speechless.
It's embarrassing to listen to this idiot, but if you don't listen, he's still right.
"Please, Miyuki!"
"Fight back!"
However, the people on the bench couldn't stand it anymore and cheered for Miyuki, easing his embarrassment.
"It seems like he can't even get the timing right!" Owada Akiko sighed, watching Miyuki to play well.
"After all, it's difficult for Inajitsu to even make a move on the line!"
They are really good at exploiting the difference in ball speed!
"And they have a hidden trump card!" Mine Fujio said.
"But Sendou-kun caught the Slow Curveball perfectly!"
That person cannot be used as a reference...
That's a monster who can hit any ball, no matter what kind!
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Outside the boundary!!"
"There are absolutely no easy shots to play!" Miyuki sighed inwardly.
"NO! How can I not even hit a straight shot?" Sawamura shouted, shaking his head frantically with his hands on his head.
Kanemaru, who was standing next to him, was completely stunned.
"They really know how to make their presence felt!"
"This guy!" Sendou said with a smile as he watched Sawamura's performance.
"Outside the boundary!"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Nice Ball!"
"The attacker is out of timing!"
"Let's finish him off, Ume-chan!"
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"That bastard! No matter where I vote, it's all..." Umemiya cursed inwardly.
Although Miyuki is still unable to find the right timing for his shots, he can maintain a steady pace and avoid hitting bad balls.
Just like Oni-san of Summer, the difference is that Miyuki has the ability to Long Hit.
Therefore, Ugumori dared not let his guard down at all.
"Outside the boundary!"
"Bad ball!"
"Damn it! So close! We've already reached the maximum number of balls without even realizing it!" Umemiya lamented the near miss of the ball into the Strike Zone.
"Yoshia!!"
"Beautiful shot selection!!"
The substitutes in the stands sang even louder.
"How could it be resolved so easily?"
I am different from the immortal Sendou!
No one compares themselves to the Sendou...
If I get taken out so easily, then the next batter... everyone will think he's just that kind of pitcher!
Only a monster like Sendou could hit his ball at the very beginning of the game!!!
"We absolutely have the upper hand!!!" Miyuki at Umemiya.
"Miyuki!
The Sendou has given everyone the confidence to win; now it's your turn!
"Give everyone confidence that they can win!" Kuramochi thought to himself as he looked at Miyuki in the arena.
"Very good!
Let's settle this once and for all!
Use the ball that guy didn't have time to throw!
I'll solve this with a powerful curveball!
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Vertical Slider!" Miyuki has been struggling with this shot, and a major reason for this is his wariness of it.
Since I've never voted before, I could vote anytime.
When the ball count is full, the chances of making a shot are higher.
"Ping!"
"Yoshi! They've broken through the infield!!"
"Center field hit!!"
Miyuki successfully reached second base!
At this point, the reason why Coach Kataoka had mentioned before the game was to aim for center field becomes clear.
Kondo Daiki, this main hitter is indeed an excellent player.
However, he is better suited as an infielder, such as a shortstop, and would definitely not be inferior to star shortstops.
His physique and build make it difficult for him to complete a direct pass deep into the outfield.
This pitch is a case in point. Although it went very far, Kondo Daiki was very fast, so it was just a single in front of a center.
The second baseman has already run to the outfield to cover as Backup Position.
Therefore, with an extra step in the process, even the fastest relay cannot make a difference.
Miyuki's speed wasn't particularly fast, but it wasn't slow either.
"Yoshi! Two shots in a row!"
The Seidou Batting Lineup's counterattack has begun!!!
That's right!
"You finally understand what I meant!!" Sawamura shouted, spreading his hands.
Kanemaru was stunned by Sawamura's shamelessness.
"A-Yuan! Keep going!"
"Yoshi ya!!" Maezono shouted loudly when he heard the cheers from the bench.
"Asshole!
"They actually realized it!!" Umemiya laughed and scolded.
Sure enough, for him, facing off against a formidable opponent was the most exciting thing.
Umemiya's personality also determined the style of this team.
"Even more impressive than I imagined!"
But thanks to Watanabe's video and materials!
It allowed me to anticipate some of the trajectory in advance!
"Besides, that Home Run wasn't entirely ineffective!" Miyuki thought to himself as he removed his protective gear.
In fact, when Miyuki saw that it was a "Vertical Slider" before he threw the ball, he thought he would be lucky to get to first base.
But the change was surprisingly sharp, and the Ball Trajectory became somewhat easy to hit.
This shows that Sendou's Home Run still affected his ability to execute such a precise Changeup.
I had some things to do today and wrote late. The second half of the chapter is still a bit incomplete. I'll finish it and post it tomorrow!
Feel sorry!
