There was a bit of eagerness in his eyes.

Kuramochi had watched Li Lei play a practice match with the Seido Second Army before, and that match left a very deep impression on him.

To this day, it is still unforgettable.

From that moment on, the young man has been looking forward to this moment of duel.

"Let me take a closer look at the pitcher who has become famous recently."

Li Lei is now very famous among pitchers in Tokyo.

It is precisely because of his existence.

It has given wings to the Pharmacy High School baseball team, a team that others must take seriously.

He made the Yakushi High School baseball team even more powerful.

Not only against ordinary strong teams, the Yakushima High School baseball team can have an overwhelming advantage.

Even if it's a game against the city's junior high school baseball team.

The Yakushi High School baseball team can crush the opponent.

In the end, it was through that competition that the pharmacist became famous.

Players on the Seido High School baseball team have already studied this.

As the core member of the team, Yoichi Kuramochi wanted to see what was going on with Li Lei's pitching?

"The pitcher who mainly uses change balls used a lot of straight balls in the previous game against the city's junior high baseball team. And the straight balls were extremely sharp!"

The information about Li Lei was recalled in my mind.

Kuramochi Yoichi narrowed his eyes.

He didn't allow himself to miss any detail.

He wanted to see through Li Lei's pitching strategy.

Then he could adjust his own hitting strategy based on Li Lei's pitching strategy.

"bring it on!"

What kind of inner drama does Kuramochi Yoichi have?

Li Lei didn't pay attention at all.

He just took a deep breath, raised his leg on the mound, and dropped it hard.

As his body's center of gravity shifted, the baseball in his hand also flew out.

Everything flows like clouds and flowing water.

Li Lei didn't seem to be competing against anyone at all, but simply threw the ball in his hand.

Looks casual.

But the speed of the ball thrown by Li Lei was somewhat extraordinary.

"stop!"

The white baseball suddenly appeared in front of Kuramochi Yoichi with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

So fast!

Although I knew before that Li Lei's pitching speed was not slow.

But when they actually faced each other on the strike zone, Kuramochi subconsciously opened his eyes.

The speed of the ball was a few minutes faster than he expected.

The baseball seemed to appear in front of him in the blink of an eye, and then passed through him.

Kuramochi Yoichi wanted to respond, but was unable to do so.

He was ill-prepared.

There was no way to take action at this time, so he could only watch helplessly as the baseball passed in front of his eyes.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Kuramochi, who has always been very active in attacking and was well prepared, didn't even take action?

He didn't even show the intention of taking action.

This is obviously abnormal.

The friends in the dugout of the Seido High School baseball team quickly noticed this.

But because at this time, the two sides have not yet decided the winner.

Even if they have something in mind, they don't dare to speak at this time.

They were afraid that speaking suddenly would affect Kuramochi Yoichi's striking state.

Kuramochi shut his mouth.

At this time, he had no intention of talking nonsense.

His attention was completely focused on Li Lei, who was throwing the ball.

Straight ball!

The ball speed is 141 kilometers! (It is displayed on the big screen.)

Kuramochi's feeling is correct.

Li Lei's pitching speed was indeed much faster than they had known before.

"Today's first-grade students are really unlovable. They are all as strong as monsters."

Kuramochi complained in his mind while staring at the flying baseball.

He already missed the first ball.

On the second ball, he had to take the shot no matter what.

With Li Lei's ever-changing ball-changing methods, once he is chased by Li Lei.

Kuramochi wanted to hit the last ball, not to say it was a daydream, but it wasn't much different.

Therefore, Kuramochi must hit the second ball.

"stop!"

Just when Kuramochi had just made up his mind, the white baseball had already flown over.

Kuramochi secretly gritted his teeth.

He stared at the flying baseball without blinking, and used all his strength on his two arms to grab the bat.

My fingers were a little white from exerting too much force.

I saw the right time for baseball to come.

Kuramochi Yoichi swung the bat in his hand very decisively.

It's now!

However, although he swung the bat, the baseball did not act according to his wishes.

When the baseball approached the strike zone, it suddenly dropped rapidly and successfully avoided the incoming bat.

The two pass by each other.

Kuramochi Hiroshi's swing missed.

The white baseball passed through the strike zone and landed accurately in Watanabe's open glove.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

The ball counts two strikes, zero strikes, and the batter is forced.

Things in this world are so unreasonable sometimes.

The more you fear something, the more likely it will happen.

Just like now.

Kuramochi Hiroshi was thinking about it and was unwilling to fight Li Lei until the last ball.

But in the end, he still had to face this.

"Fingerball, this guy's pitching routine has changed again!"

Kuramochi groaned secretly in his heart.

In the seating area of ​​the Seido High School baseball team, the average players also frowned.

"The situation seems to be worse than expected!"
