Chapter 38: The deciding ball!(1/2)
The game entered the first half of the second game, and the score on the field was still 0:0.
The game did not result in any score, not even a single effective hit...
Logically speaking, this should be a very dull scene.
But the fans on the stage watched with excitement.
The offense and defense of both sides is really exciting.
They couldn't move their eyes away at all, their gazes seemed to be frozen, firmly locked on the playing field.
Perhaps because they were too focused on watching, even their own job of cheering was ignored by them.
Everyone said nothing and just concentrated on watching the game.
Compared to a stadium that accommodates less than 10,000 people, this scene is undoubtedly too quiet.
But no one at the scene felt sick.
no way.
Who makes them already firmly attracted by the duel on the court?
"Fourth bat, third baseman, thunder!"
The monster first grader of the Yakushima High School baseball team faced off against Koshien's top eight pitcher, Kaname.
What a thrilling showdown?
How could they bear to miss it.
In the dugout of the Yakushima High School baseball team, Director Todoroki Raizo's eyes were flashing with intense little flames.
"You should understand, Lei Shi!"
Although judging from the situation in the first game, the two teams were evenly matched.
Although the city's junior high school team is one of the top clubs in the country, the Yakushima High School baseball team did not fall behind at all when they competed against them.
But this is only a superficial phenomenon after all.
Compared to the city's junior high school baseball team, the Yakushi High School baseball team undoubtedly has more minor problems.
If you really play the game at a normal pace.
I can’t say 100%, but there is at least a probability of more than 80% that the Yakushima High School baseball team will become a loser.
"If we want to win, we have to take a different path!"
Supervisor Todoroki Raizo believes that his precious son will definitely understand this truth.
So this showdown is particularly crucial for them.
"At least get one hit!"
As the strongest hitter on the Yakushi High School baseball team, there is nothing he can do if he even hits the city with a pitch from the city's junior ace.
Then they don't have to play the next game.
The belief that the players have always insisted on will collapse...
Everyone looked at the stadium expectantly.
Even Li Lei, who was preparing to attack, was no exception.
As the team's true ace pitcher, he also started in this game.
Li Lei can do many things on the court.
But there was only one thing that he couldn't do no matter what. He had to ask his friends for help.
This point is to win points from the city's junior high school baseball team.
If Honglei City can take the lead.
Li Lei believed that he and Sanada would be able to bring the Thunder City back to home base.
Not much is needed.
Even if it's only one point.
As long as the Yakushi High School baseball team can take the lead, Li Lei will be confident in controlling the rhythm of today's game.
"Please, 4 great!"
I didn't feel the ardent expectations of my team mates and the thunder and lightning on the court at all.
All his attention now has been focused on the batter.
"Come on, throw it over!"
In the catcher's position, the catcher of the city's junior high school baseball team, Gao Jian, clearly felt the aura of Hong Leishi.
"This opponent is unusual, be careful!"
Manaka on the pitcher's mound received the signal, which was almost imperceptible, and nodded.
Then, he threw two test balls one after another!
"Ping!"
"ping!!"
Honglei City didn't even wait for a single ball, they all went out of bounds.
"The outside world!"
"The outside world!!!"
Although at this time, Honglei City was already being chased by its opponents.
But everyone present, including supporters of the city's junior high school baseball team.
No one spoke sarcastically.
They could feel the heavy pressure coming towards them.
"This guy?"
Looking at Hongleishi's indomitable swing, he has told everyone with practical actions that he is not that easy to solve.
At least this kind of ball won't work.
"We can't keep arguing. Our team only has one ace. If we struggle with a certain batter too much, Zhenzhong will not be able to pitch until the end of the game!"
Gao Jian, who was at the catcher's position, was shocked by Todoroki's swing.
But he himself did not give up thinking.
Although the opponent's momentum is overwhelming, it does not mean that they have no chance of winning.
"Although the opponent made two swings, we also scored two good shots. Let's deal with him head-on!"
Takami gave the signal to Manaka on the mound.
Use your winning shot, a sliding ball that suddenly changes direction at a low angle, and it is impossible for the opponent to hit it.
Even the top players in the same grade are often unable to do anything when faced with a real winning goal.
Not to mention, this is a freshman on the Yakushima High School baseball team.
Even if the other party shows very good potential.
But in the final analysis, he is just a little kid in first grade.
bring it on!
After receiving the signal, Kaname Manaka didn't hesitate at all, he stepped out in one step.
At the moment when the ball was released, Manaka put all his strength on the two fingers of the ball.
"Whoosh!"
The pitching is extremely sharp!
And this is not a straight ball, but a changing ball.
Facing such a ball, Thunder City in the strike zone did not show any fear on his face.
On the contrary, his eyes were full of surprise.
"This is it!"
When watching the game video before, this kind of ball had been simulated countless times in Hongleishi's mind.
He couldn't wait to see it live and have a duel.
It's now!
As soon as baseball near the strike zone changed, it was targeted by Thunder City.
The bat in his hand roared out.
"boom!"
