Chapter Seventy-Seven: Five Thunders! (1st Update)
Double Kill!
On the baseball field, what a blood-boiling scene.
The supporters of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team were a little incredulous that their team was able to perform so well.
The two teams on the pitch are both top giants, and it is too difficult to expect them to make mistakes. It is precisely because everyone makes fewer mistakes that there are fewer wonderful performances on the field.
There is no savior in danger, there is no shipwreck, there is no general's head in the army......
Without these wonderful embellishments, the two teams are like martial arts masters on equal footing, competing for internal strength.
The inside is ferocious and abnormal, but there are not many clues on the outside. At least the supporters in the stands, it is difficult to see the real subtlety.
They felt that the game was going quickly, but in fact the time was not slow at all. The game had just reached the bottom half of the seventh inning, and the two teams had been playing each other for nearly two hours.
The game has lasted an hour and 57 minutes so far.
In the heat of 34 degrees Celsius, they came to a wonderful showdown of skill and endurance.
Now, at last, let them see the wonderful guard.
It's not that Qingdao High School made any mistakes, it's that their Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team is too strong!
"I'm afraid this game will be very difficult for Qingdao High School!"
The reporter of Baseball Weekly, with the pen in his hand, brushed and wrote in his notebook.
His judgment was also the judgment of the vast majority of people at the scene.
The score is four points apart, and if the Qingdao High School baseball team can recover one or two points, even if it is just one point, they have a lot of hope.
But now, they have been out of the game twice, and their hope of recovering the score is probably very slim.
Then there were only the 8th and 9th innings, two offensive opportunities. With a gap of four points, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team has just changed pitchers.
The chances of the Qingdao High School baseball team being able to catch up with the score and overtake are quite slim.
This is not alarmism, but an objective analysis.
What a shame...
In this game, Zhang Han broke the home run record of the freshman in Koshien, and by the way, he also set a new scoring record. Dongqingguo won the 5th home run, although there is still a distance from breaking the record, but even this result is enough to be proud of the others.
Not only them, but if you really want to talk about it, there are many players in the Seongdo High School baseball team, and they are all very good. The ace Hidezawa, who had just been replaced, and Kakuei Tanaka, who killed the ace of Kiryu Osaka, were silent, but Tetsuya Yuuki had extremely lethal power. And Yukiichi, who is still a newcomer, is not inconspicuous, and has excellent strength and potential......
Seido High School's baseball team is definitely a star.
If the opponent they meet is not Kiryu Osaka, it is not the top national powerhouse known as the Cosmos team.
Maybe they can go further.
But the reality is so cruel, because in reality, there are no ifs.
"Ping!"
In the face of the Shura-like Kanhiromi, Yamada couldn't stabilize it and hurriedly swung his bat.
The baseball, which was knocked out, bounced high and finally landed in front of Masaoka on first base.
Masaoka took two steps forward, stopped where the baseball had fallen, and steadily picked the ball into his glove.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team also realized that the situation on the field was very bad.
When they returned to the rest area, they all gathered around Kataoka.
When the team is alive and dead, they need their own oversight to show them the way forward.
"Baseball, not basketball or football, there's no time limit. Even if it is two outs in the bottom half of the ninth inning, it can theoretically be reversed by more than a dozen points or even hundreds of points. As long as the opponent hasn't taken the last number of outs, anything is possible. ”
Kataoka didn't let everyone pay too much attention to the score gap between the two sides, and he knew very well that the gap was enough to make anyone despair.
If the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team had focused all their attention on this aspect, they would have been able to raise their hands and surrender now.
Instead of scaring themselves, let everyone concentrate on what they need to face in front of them.
"Do what we can first, and then think about the rest. Hold on to this game first, we still have two more offensive opportunities! ”
As a teacher of Mandarin, the art of speaking is truly extraordinary. Instead of letting the players bask in the sadness of falling behind, he guided them and told them to focus more on their chances of counter-attacking.
I have to say that the players really eat this set.
After a long sigh of relief, they thought that their overseer was right.
Didn't they just take the opportunity to score six points in one game before? On that occasion, they also blew up two pitchers by the way.
If they could, they can now.
Isn't it Kiryu Osaka? If you have the ability to let the horse come, who is afraid of whom?
The players of the Qingdao High School baseball team are also completely out of the way at this time. In fact, at this point, the strategic goal they set for Koshien has already been completed, and it is of course good to be able to win, and it is not unacceptable to fail.
In particular, the opponent is Kiryu Osaka, who is known as Team Cosmos.
Even if the game is lost, it is just the friends themselves who feel uncomfortable, and it is natural for them to lose to the outside world, and it will be strange to win.
After all, the Seido High School baseball team has just re-emerged, but Osaka Kiryu has always been the top in the country.
The friends who put down their burdens performed very well, they won two outs in succession, and although there are people on the base bag now, they have not lost points.
Two outs, someone on third base!
In the rest area of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.
Takahiro Matsumoto maintained his smiling appearance, watching the duel on the court, constantly tapping his fingers on his arm.
He knows very well that the game has reached a critical moment, and the final result will be known soon.
At this time, the Seido High School baseball team will never miss the opportunity to fight back.
If you play smoothly......
He didn't need to worry as much as he did now.
But now, the play on the field is obviously not like that, so he can't help but worry.
What a stubborn opponent! Even a four-point lead is not reassuring.
"Anyway, find a way to score another point."
Matsumoto gave a code to the players on the field.
The hitters and runners of Kiryu Osaka on the field nodded slightly, and then took a short stance.
With two outs, what is he going to do?
The players of Seido High School are a little unclear.
And they can't be indifferent, since the other party has taken action, they naturally have to follow suit.
Several infielders, including Zhang Han and Tanaka, consciously moved forward.
Stand ahead!
After Qingdao was ready, Tanba took a deep breath and threw the ball.
At this moment, the batter who had been playing a short game suddenly put the bat back and swung it again.
Scam beating?
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, one by one, are also experienced in a hundred battles, and they reacted immediately.
But apparently they guessed wrong, the other party is not just cheating, but also fighting and running.
The runner on third base, after seeing the ball being hit, rushed to home plate non-stop.
Now that the ball has gone out, the possibility of Seido High School blocking the runner on third base is almost zero if he doesn't catch the ball at the first time.
They can only hope that they can get rid of the beaters.
"Smack!"
Because Zhang Han and Tanaka were both in the front, the baseball fell behind them, and they didn't pick up the ball at the first time.
Fortunately, Zhang Han was fast, and after the baseball rebounded on the ground, he caught up with the ball and pressed the ball in his glove.
But when he got up, he passed the ball to Yuuki at first base.
At this time, it's too late!
The moment before the baseball approached Yuuki Glove, a white figure passed over first base.
"Safety!"
The linesman on first base gave his judgment fairly.
The score is valid!
The Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, which was already four points ahead, scored the fifth point in the lead.
The score between the two sides became 13:8.
The fans in the stands couldn't help but sigh one by one.
Qingdao High School baseball team, I'm afraid this time I don't have a chance at all. Even though they performed well, there was no way, who made the opponent better?
"Not necessarily!"
Not everyone on the field has the same opinion.
At this time, some people still think that the Qingdao High School baseball team still has hope of turning the tables.
"The score gap is too big, even if the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team can toss, it is difficult to reverse this situation."
The fan next to him asked loudly.
Even though he is a supporter of Seido High School's baseball team, he is also more willing to let Seido win the game from the bottom of his heart.
But the education he received did not allow him to talk nonsense, he wanted facts to seek truth and use facts to explain everything.
The immediate result, no matter how difficult it is for him to accept, there is no way to change it.
"Six outs, the core hitter only had time to play once, and there was no second chance to play. Even if you score, even if you have a home run, it is impossible to catch up with the difference of five points! ”
The five-point gap is tantamount to five thunderbolts to the players and supporters of the Seido High School baseball team.
They need to find more than three scoring chances to have a chance of equalizing or overtaking the score.
And the remaining blows, there are only two rounds!
"The six outs you mentioned are when the hitter doesn't score hits, and if the number of hits scored reaches a certain number, the core line will have a second chance to play."
Although Fujio doesn't think that the Seido High School baseball team can really turn the game around, he doesn't think Seido will accept defeat willingly.
Especially the three hitters who are in the core position, they are by no means the kind of people who will give up.
