Chapter 54: A Million Swings!(1/2)
"how do you want to do it?"
Supervisor Todoroki Leizang's words kept echoing in Li Lei's ears.
What should he do? What should he choose at this time?
Li Lei took a deep breath.
He knew very well that the choice he made at this time did not only represent himself.
It also represents the decision of the Yakushima High School baseball team.
"If you just want to win today's game, letting Sanada-senpai play immediately is definitely the best choice."
Even as a pitcher.
Li Lei also highly recognized Sanada's pitching ability.
Even though the core of the city's junior high school baseball team is strong, they are all very brutal.
But after all, this is their first time playing against Sanada-senpai. Sanada-senpai's pitching will definitely scare those guys.
There is no doubt about this.
But Li Lei didn't want to do this in his heart.
"oh."
Supervisor Todoroki Raizo responded and did not continue.
Obviously he knew very well that Li Lei had not yet made up his mind at this time.
He wanted to wait until Li Lei made up his mind before telling him his plan.
"But our opponent is not just the third high school student from City University. Compared with the third high school student from City University, I think Qingdao will be more difficult to deal with."
Although the Seido High School baseball team has had a poor record in recent years, it has been unable to reach Koshien for several consecutive years.
However, the momentum displayed by this year's Seido High School baseball team is completely different from previous years.
They are very motivated this year.
Not only that, but the attention this team paid to the Yakushima High School baseball team was a bit unusual.
Compared with the current game, Li Lei believed that the one with Qingdao would be more difficult.
Since they had retained Sanada as their trump card before, of course this trump card must be used to maximum effect.
Compared to now, the match with Qingdao is undoubtedly more suitable.
"That makes sense, but you have to be clear about one thing. If you don't replace Sanada at this time, it means that you have to rely on your own strength to fight against the city's junior baseball team. Let's not talk about it. This time, when you play against the core of the city’s top three high schools for the third or even fourth time, can you still guarantee your current performance?”
This is the true purpose of Supervision Todoroki Raizo.
Otherwise, if he really wanted to change someone, he could just make the decision directly without discussing it with Li Lei.
"I can't guarantee that I won't lose a point. The opponent is a junior from the city. In the next game, I will try my best to control the points lost to less than three points."
Although the current Yakushi High School baseball team is only one point ahead of its opponents.
But if nothing else happens, they will continue to score points in the future.
Under this circumstance, if Li Lei really controls the dispute to within three points, the probability of the city's senior baseball team winning the game is still not small.
Supervisor Todoroki Leizang was quite satisfied with Li Lei's answer.
He smiled and nodded.
But there is an ugly saying that he still has to say.
"It doesn't matter if you continue to pitch. However, you have to consider one issue. Our team's defense is not on the same level as the opponent's."
There is no doubt about Li Lei's strength.
But it's not that easy for him to do what he said.
The Yakushi High School baseball team has a weak defense, which is a huge test for Li Lei.
"This is also in my calculations."
The City University Junior High Baseball Team quickly scored the last out, switching offense and defense with three outs.
The game also came to the second half of the 5th inning.
City junior high baseball team offense.
The first to step into the batter's box was the fourth power forward of the city's junior high school baseball team.
Different from last time.
This time he stood in front of the strike zone and acted extremely low-key.
He stood firmly in the center of the strike zone, raising the bat with both hands.
"call!"
Hearing the cheers from the stands, he remained unmoved.
At this time, Da Qian seemed to have put all his attention on Li Lei.
"You're so anxious, do you want to fight out?"
Although the opponent's performance was very low-key, Li Lei, standing on the pitcher's mound, could still clearly feel the urgency and determination of the power forward.
He seemed to be determined to hit the baseball out no matter what.
Facing an opponent with such high fighting spirit, Li Lei grinned and revealed a sneer.
The three strongest bats in Nishi Tokyo, the top hitting maniacs in the country.
"Then let me try it!"
Li Lei opened his stance and very decisively threw the baseball in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The white baseball whizzes in.
The power forward in the strike zone did not take a shot.
"Snapped!"
"Bad ball!"
Huge cheers came from the dugout of the city's junior high school baseball team.
Even the slightest mistake made by Li Lei made these three-year high school players extremely excited.
"Is it so accurate? We can only fight in the strike zone."
Li Lei took a deep breath and threw the baseball in his hand again.
"Ping!"
This time, the baseball was knocked out of bounds.
"The outside world!"
The number of balls is good and bad, and the opponent's fighting spirit is high.
Li Lei had a smile on his face.
He felt that the fish had bitten his hook, and he was about to pull back the fishing line.
"The last ball!"
Li Lei's two fingers holding the ball were slightly spread apart.
He wants to finger the ball quickly!
With the preparation of the first two goals, the power forward will never let this one go.
But unless he guessed Li Lei's pitching strategy in advance, even if he hit the ball, the baseball would just bounce into Li Lei's glove.
On the surface, Li Lei seems to be walking a tightrope on the tip of a knife.
But in fact, Li Lei has done countless operations like this.
Understand your opponent's thoughts and then throw the ball to just the right spot...
Only when these two points are met at the same time, the baseball that is played will follow Li Lei's wishes.
Whether it's the baby swallow returning to its nest or Li Lei's magic balls.
Strictly speaking, this is the same routine.
It's just that the usage is different.
Just like now, he doesn't plan to strike out the power forward, he just wants to get the out number as soon as possible.
So he resolutely chose this kind of ball.
The white baseball comes roaring.
Ohmae, who was on the strike zone, had a serious look on his face.
