Chapter 40: White Bear Arrested

On the baseball field of Yakushi High School, everyone was stunned.

When the same scene appeared in front of them for the third time, it was impossible for them not to be shocked.

Everyone was surprised. They looked at Li Lei who was throwing the ball in disbelief.

Even at this time, if someone told them that Li Lei had no magic, they would not believe it.

Especially those first-year players, the look in their eyes when they looked at Li Lei showed not only shock, but also a hint of resentment.

That's it, and you still say it's not magic?

Previously, a first-grade friend personally asked Li Lei if he was using magic?

Just like when they first started competing with the seniors, Li Lei controlled the baseballs and kept falling out of bounds.

He's now controlling those baseballs, too, flying into his own glove.

How did Li Lei tell them in the first place?

Li Lei told them sternly that all this was a coincidence.

The same scene appears three times in a row?

Is this also a coincidence?

Facing the resentful looks from his friends, Li Lei smiled awkwardly.

He didn't explain anything.

Facing the second- and third-year seniors who were the last to play, Li Lei decisively used the cross ball, forcing the opponent to miss the swing.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"strike out!"

"Three outs, exchange offense and defense!!"

Li Lei successfully scored three outs and helped the freshman team hold on to the game.

The second- and third-year players on the Yakushi High School baseball team are huge.

If they were just guessing before, now they are sure that it will be difficult for them to get any hits from Li Lei in the next game.

The score will eventually be fixed at 3:3.

This made the second- and third-year players on the Yakushima High School baseball team feel extremely uncomfortable.

Even though it was a tie, they didn't lose.

But don't forget, they are seniors.

The fifth grade and the third grade participated in the Mathematical Olympiad competition together. In the end, both of them scored 90 points.

Will that student in fifth grade be happy?

This is what the second and third grade players on the Yakushi High School baseball team are thinking in their hearts right now.

Shunpei Sanada came in to pitch, and the freshman team's lower hitter came in to bat.

After the first-grade friends returned to the rest area, they immediately surrounded Li Lei.

They didn't want to know anything else. They just wanted to know if Li Lei's pitch just now was any good.

"How can you not have a more handsome name for such a handsome pitcher?"

The friends are very motivated.

They also helped come up with various names, the most popular of which was Brown Bear Entering the Net.

The name is inspired by a popular tennis anime.

But baseball is different from tennis.

In the end, the friends unanimously decided to name Li Lei's pitch White Bear Net.

This name is a pun.

On the one hand, it is said that a white baseball, like a white bear, cannot escape Li Lei's glove.

On the other hand, it is also describing the hitters on the field.

No matter how hard the seniors tried, the baseball they played could not escape Li Lei's control.

Faced with the enthusiasm of his friends, Li Lei had no other choice but to passively accept it.

He could only nod.

Although Li Lei said nothing and chose to accept it passively.

But that doesn't mean that his heart wasn't touched at all.

What I have to admit is that despite the average level of the first-year friends around him, their abilities are limited...

But their intuition is really very accurate.

It is estimated that even the second and third grade seniors have not seen how Li Lei did it?

But the friends around him, especially the guy Mishima, actually guessed some clues.

That effect is indeed not magic, nor is it the result of Li Lei's deliberate manipulation.

It's one of his changing balls.

Sanada Junpei quickly scored three outs, and the two sides exchanged offense and defense.

At this time, the game has reached the first half of the eighth inning.

Li Lei's first opponent is Junpei Sanada of the senior team.

The last time he lost points was led by Sanada Junpei.

The second- and third-year players on the Yakushima High School baseball team still have high hopes for Sanada Junpei.

Even Todoroki Raizo, who was guest referee, showed great interest in the upcoming showdown between the two.

Under everyone's attention, Li Lei threw the baseball in his hand.

The senior students who had suffered losses from him before unconsciously widened their eyes.

Regardless of whether they really saw something or it was their intuition as players. They were very sure that the ball Li Lei shot now was the same ball he shot against them before.

Shunpei Sanada in the strike zone has obviously realized this.

Coming again?

But Sanada is different from the other second- and third-year seniors at Yakushi High School.

He is a man with brains and a man who is willing to use his brains.

There were three batters before him, and after the ball was hit, the baseball bounced directly in front of the pitcher.

Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities for such a change.

Either the batter misread the position of the baseball when he swung the bat, so he raised the bat.

Or the baseball fell while flying.

Only in these two cases, when the baseball hits the bottom of the bat, will it bounce directly to the ground when it flies out.

Let Li Lei on the pitcher's mound grab the ball directly into his glove.

The first possibility, if there is only one batter, the probability is very high.

But this happened to three batters in a row, so this guess is obviously unreasonable.

Then the only reasonable explanation is that Li Lei's changing ball is unpredictable.

He threw a pitch that was somewhere between a straight ball and a fast pitcher, so that's what happened when the batter hit the ball.

It's not that complicated to hit this kind of ball.

Sanada Junpei came up with two plans.

One is a super powerful swing, similar to that of Thunder City, which can send the ball flying even if the bat hits a little bit of baseball.

Another way is for the batter to lower the bat slightly when hitting, which should be able to restrain the opponent's pitch.

The first type is that the requirements for the hitter to swing the bat are too high.

Sanada Junpei obviously can't do it.

So he chose the second option. When he swung the bat, he deliberately lowered the bat a little.

The reduction is not large, only about two or three centimeters.

This was a very risky choice, but after Sanada decided to do it, he swung the bat without any hesitation.

"Buzz!"

Under everyone's gaze, the bat hit the white baseball, and the baseball that was hit bounced back up.

The ball flew very high, but not very far.

After flying only seventeen or eight meters, the baseball began to fall from the sky, and then plunged into Li Lei's open glove.

Li Lei, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, didn't move a step. He effortlessly caught the ball in his glove.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

Compared with Li Lei's previous three performances, his performance this time is undoubtedly the most like White Bear in Arrest.

The moment Li Lei caught the ball, the entire stadium seemed to have pressed the pause button.
