"It was too dangerous just now!" Sendou, who was sitting down, seemed to be replying to Fumino's sigh just now.
"Is baseball so exciting? It's obviously going to end soon!"
"No, the baseball game only starts with two outs in the last half of the inning. For student baseball games, anything is possible! Because there is no time limit in baseball, and there is no tie-breaking system in sports like tennis and volleyball. You must be ahead by two points to determine the winner, and you have to switch offense and defense when you score one point.
Baseball, on the other hand, will not switch offense and defense when scoring or tying a score because of fairness, giving the opponent a chance to counterattack.
Once you miss at this time, you will not be given any chance. This is the terrible thing about baseball!
For this reason alone, baseball is the scariest sport.
Because no matter how many points you are behind, it is just the beginning. If you cannot hold on to the final number of outs, the game may be lost.
This situation is still beneficial to the offensive side. After all, the pressure of Final Inning is the same for everyone on both sides. The offensive side only needs the hitter to have a big heart, but the defensive side must have everyone with a big heart. It is a kind of awareness like playing basketball and shooting the winning shot.
However, it is not all an advantage for the attacking side, that is, the smooth play cannot be changed. Basketball shots can give the team the strongest heart and scorer, but in baseball, it can only be someone's turn to withstand this pressure.
Baseball is more of a psychological contest than a technical contest. There is a saying in professional baseball that baseball is 30% intelligence collection and analysis, 50% tactics, and technology and coordination only account for 20%.
But in my opinion, 50% of tactics, excluding fixed routines, are basically psychological. No matter how complex the tactics are, they are systematic, which means there are ways to crack them.
If there is a psychological problem, you can only replace someone. Have you ever watched an NBA basketball game?
There are not many players in the entire NBA history who can truly maintain a stable performance under any circumstances. "Sendou explained with emotion the terrible thing about baseball that came to his mind at the moment.
(This is also the reason why I say that the baseball tactics in Da Zhen and Mitsuru Adachi's works are much weaker than Diamond A. Ace of Diamond's famous coach plays intelligence analysis warfare and psychological warfare just like professional baseball.)
"It's really exciting to talk about!"
"But as expected, we won this game!"
"Didn't you just say that?"
"Eijun has a big heart that can overcome such difficulties, and his ball is terrible!"
Even though the pitching rhythm in baseball is very slow due to Signals and the pitcher adjusting his mentality, the two of them talked from one good pitch at the beginning to two good pitches and one bad pitch now. The number of pitches is that Sawamura should throw the fifth pitch.
The batter has no retreat. It can be said that he was able to hit two foul balls and it was very obvious. Although Fighting Spirit was strong, his talent and hard work were not enough to help him defeat Sawamura.
"Damn it! Damn it!" The beater kept roaring in his heart, not resenting anyone, but feeling sad or desperate for his own powerlessness.
He wanted to continue playing, even if he had already performed beyond his level. His body was already warning him that he had reached his limit. Facing the opponent's constant straight shots from the center, he could only reach this level. He felt extremely desperate for this disparity in strength.
Now everyone watching can already see the result, just watching how long the hitter can pester the pitcher who has obviously regained his energy, and silently waiting for the end to come.
"He was so exhausted that it was luck to hit the ball.
The last ball, throw it into the inside corner! "
Finally,...
"Crack!"
"S... Stri... ke! The batter is out! The game is over!" The head coach, who served as a temporary guest player for Qinghe, announced the final result with choked sobs.
"Youxia!!!" Sawamura clenched his fists and shouted loudly at the moment of the announcement.
Regardless, everyone inside and outside raised their arms and cheered loudly and ran towards Pitcher's Mound!
For Akagi Middle School, it was their first baseball victory in so many years. Most people cried, even if it was just an ordinary Practice Match game.
Looking at a group of people... except for Wakaba, she watched eight young men hugging each other and crying regardless of their appearance, and secretly licked her tears.
"It's finally over! What a lot of twists and turns! We were really unlucky today! But it also exposed a lot of weaknesses.
This summer vacation has not been in vain, all that is left is to prepare for Autumn Tournament. Although Autumn Tournament is not a qualifier for the national competition, it will be a good place to accumulate experience. (This is what I set up. Don't worry about it anymore!)" Sendou said while sitting on the bench, and then he turned his head.
"Why are you crying!"
"I'm not crying!"
"Okay!" Sendou said as he stood up and took off his hat as a signal to Coach Takei before walking over.
"Line up!"
"Salute!"
"Thank you for your advice!" The players from both sides bowed to each other and started chatting separately.
"We lost today, let's have a chance to play games together in the future! We will definitely win next time!"
"Let's compete next time!" This is the voice of Sawamura.
at the same time!
"What a good game! In every sense of the word! Right! Sendou-kun!"
"Yes! Seniors! Thanks to you, we have benefited a lot, and we found a lot of problems in this game, mainly experience and mentality problems! Of course, technical problems are bigger. I can only find some aspects that can improve quickly. There are really too few of us!"
"Same for us. It turns out that this Baseball Club is just an ordinary school sports club. Maybe these children never dreamed that they would have the opportunity to play such an exciting game! Maybe this is a beautiful memory for a lifetime! Will there be a chance to play Practice Match again next time?"
"Then it will be after the autumn competition! We are about to return to Nagano. By then you will be the new team!"
"That's right! You all still have a lot of room for growth, especially since all of you are in the first grade.
You don't need to form a new team to re-run, and you will become stronger. I am afraid that our main selection will be reduced by half after the autumn, so we must be merciful then! "
"By the way Sendou-kun, haven't you considered joining?
The coach has said this to you more than once! ..."
"Stop it, senior, I know everything that uncle wants to say, but I'm sorry, I really have no interest in playing baseball."
"That's it! Okay, then see you in the fall!"
"Well, see you in the fall!"
Finally, Sendou shook hands with his senior, and then led everyone away under the watch of Coach Takei!
