Chapter 50: Butterfly Ball (Part 1)

"Oh my God..."

"What was that?"

"One-stop robbery! Even in the professional arena, there has never been such a shot. ”

"That little guy, who is sacred?"

"Qingdao High School Baseball Team, the first baseman, the man nicknamed Cheetah, Yoichi Kuramochi."

Kuramochi is on fire.

Even though this was just the first official game of the summer tournament for the Qingdao High School baseball team.

But because of the previous achievements of the Seido High School baseball team, their game is still very eye-catching.

There are four or five on-site media alone.

Once such a scene happens, it will soon become known after the media rendering.

Kuramochi, it looks like he's going to be famous.

The fans at the scene were also crazy.

Originally, they came to see the Qingdao High School baseball team game just to experience the lively offensive mode of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

To put it bluntly, people are here to crack down.

I didn't expect to see such a wonderful picture before watching the refreshing blow today.

Such an experience, even in the past decade or even decades, is probably unforgettable.

These kids are amazing!

The players from Sakurasawa High School performed decently.

They may not be very strong, but they are not that weak.

In this case, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team can have such a wonderful performance and play.

That shows that their strength has already surpassed that of young players of the same age.

And with this kind of strength, it is not only Zhang Han and Yuuki, who have already become famous.

Even the players on the team who look ordinary are extraordinary.

In this shock, people seem to have forgotten about the outcome of this game.

In their opinion, the question of victory and defeat is no longer necessary to continue to think about it.

How could a Qingdao High School baseball team with this strength lose to a dark horse team that emerged from a corner of the wall.

Fans who have this idea, the biggest expectation for the game now is that they don't know how far these guys from Sakurasawa High School can hold out in the face of the powerful Seido High School baseball team?

I just hope that they can be a little stronger and not surrender too soon.

In that case, there will be nothing to see in this game.

In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the friends were very excited as if they had won the game.

Kuramochi had just returned to the rest area, and everyone took the initiative to surround him.

"It's amazing!"

"Cow plus!"

Even Zhang Han took the initiative to extend his thumb.

"You're not human!"

This is not a polite remark, Zhang Han does feel this way.

From first base, to second base, to third base, and finally back to home plate.

In the beginning, the warehouse did go well.

But then go to third base, especially back to home plate.

Ryosuke Kominato is not out yet.

It takes not just speed, but also guts and luck.

The most important thing is the sense of smell that perceives the timing.

The warehouse holder who is on the base bag is really very different, and his whole person seems to shine.

Comparing his heart to his heart, Zhang Han, whose speed is also not slow, if he is in a situation where he is just in a position.

I'm afraid it's going to be hard for him to do it.

"Hip hop!"

The expression on Kuramochi's face was also excited.

Although he steals the base on the base bag, it is commonplace.

But like now, it's the first time I've run back in one go.

I'm afraid that in the history of high school baseball, such examples are also rare. It may even be that he is the only one.

In this case, Kuramochi was of course very excited, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

When Zhang Han saw it, he sat up from the rest chair and gave a thumbs up.

"Amazing!"

"It's a shame......"

Miyuki, who was changing his equipment and preparing to fight, shook his head.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were all on Miyuki.

When everyone is happy, this guy can always pop up and sweep people's interest.

Kurachi's eyes were about to breathe fire.

He is polite to Yuyuki on weekdays, but he didn't expect this guy to be so eyeless at a critical moment.

"What's the pity?"

Cangzhi didn't care about being reserved, and took the initiative to raise this problem.

Not only was he curious, but the other friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team also turned their heads around.

Zhang Han vaguely thought of what Yu Xing wanted to say.

But he still didn't understand why he was saying these things when everyone was most excited.

Is this unclear, disappointing?

In his impression, Yu Xing has always been a person who knows the importance very well, when did his emotional intelligence become so low?

Or is it that this guy only shows his knowledgeable side when he is facing himself.

"Today's game is our first game, and it would be nice to play it once when we were competing against Daocheng Industry or the third high school of the city university."

Isn't that nonsense......

No matter how well-known the Qingdao High School baseball team is, no matter how much it is favored by the media.

Because their opponent in the first game was Sakurasawa High School, which was previously unknown, everyone took it for granted that in today's game, the Seido High School baseball team must be a sure winner.

There's nothing to focus on at all.

So the attention of today's game is actually not very high.

If it is the collision of the two giants in West Tokyo, the degree of attention will be completely different.

It is even possible to broadcast live on TV.

If it was really on that occasion, Kuramochi would be able to complete such a one-time one-stop robbery.

After that, he didn't even have any too dazzling performances.

This time alone is enough to make him famous.

This kind of memory point is even more useful than real results.

If Kuramochi chooses to participate in the professional baseball draft instead of college, his baseball stealing performance alone will be enough to squeeze him into the first two rounds.

The fly in the ointment, in such a game with little influence, staged a dragon thief.

Although it feels amazing, considering the strength of the opponent, especially when Sakurasawa Ko passes the ball from a long distance, he has to touch the ground first.

Everyone will inevitably put a big question mark on the performance of the position.

Kurachi, who was originally very happy, suddenly felt eight tenths lower.

Yu Yuki felt sorry for him, let alone him as a client.

He felt his heart twitching.

"You're too bad at chatting."

Zhang Han said helplessly.

"I am an encouragement to him, lest he be carried away by the temporary honor."

"You say that, people still want to thank you?"

Zhang Han was almost speechless.

"We're teammates, so thank you no more."

Yu Xingtian said shamelessly.

Zhang Han was really speechless, rolled his eyes, and sat back on the rest chair.

No matter what his mood is, no matter what the team is like right now, it seems like nothing can be done for him, a player who has been sent to the cold bench.

He can only be a melon-eating masses.

What else can be done?

That's probably when you see your teammates doing well, raise your hands and applaud them.

It's solidarity.

In the stands.

The player with the camera watched the stolen base several times.

When they inquired about the information before, they thought that Sakurasawa High School was doing well, and it should be able to cause a little trouble for the Qingdao High School baseball team.

In this way, they can observe the performance of the Seido High School baseball team players and the lineup of Seido High School.

Unexpectedly, Sakurasawa High School, which they had high hopes for, was in a one-sided and suppressed state in the process of playing against the Seido High School baseball team.

Although the game has just begun, the difference in strength between the two sides has been laid out.

In this case, even they silently solidarity with Sakurasawa High School in their hearts. They themselves don't think that Sakurasawa High School has any chance of turning around.

"I'm afraid this is the end of the game."

There are not a few people who think like this.

Even Sakurasawa High School's own friends were greatly shaken in their hearts.

So much so that they had to shout a timeout and gather all the friends together to discuss countermeasures.

Sakurasawa had previously envisioned a situation where they would play against the Seido High School baseball team. The most important thing for them is not to drop points.

But now, they are one point behind, and given the situation at hand, they have very few chances of being able to get it back.

"Already, is it completely out of play?"

You must know that the game has just begun, so it is too early to draw conclusions?

Today's game, they weren't done yet.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, they seem to have no hope.

What to do?

Do you want to give up?

Almost every little friend in Sakurasawa High School has such a thought in their hearts.

And then quickly, they snuffed out the idea.

Before this summer competition, the players from Sakurasawa High School also put in a lot of hard work.

Despite the strength of the Seido High School baseball team, it was so strong that they felt desperate.

But if they want to give up and surrender like this, they obviously can't accept it yet.

It was also at this time that Professor Kikukawa, who had been inactive in the rest area, took advantage of everyone's pause to call a player to come forward and give the order.

"What did the professor say?"

For Kikukawa, who has been silently supporting them, the friends are still very recognized in their hearts.

When they were in trouble, they were more than willing to listen to Professor Kikukawa's thoughts.

The professor said that the situation is already like this, and no matter how much he is annoyed, there is no way to change it. Let the past pass, do what is in front of you, and don't forget what our strengths are. ”

After the little contestant finished speaking, he looked nervously at the seniors around him.

After thinking about it for a while, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

'We knew it was going to be our last game. Regardless of the final result, go all out! ”

The friends nodded in unison.

Apparently they agree with this statement as well.

"Then what should we do, captain on the field."

Inamoto, a shortstop who took a Sherlock Holmes stance, pointed to his companion and asked.

"How it was done before, how it is still done now."

Chang Xuming has recovered, and he has completely figured it out.

The reason why Sakurasawa High School was able to play here safely and soundly is why they are qualified to challenge the Seido High School baseball team, which is the No. 1 in the country.

It's because of his hard work.

His kind of pitching is about a state of mind.

No matter what kind of situation you encounter, you can't panic, and you must fight your opponent steadily.

But before, because the opponent was the Seido High School baseball team, he was almost naturally excited.

So much so that when pitching, I didn't maintain my state of mind.

How can this wrestle with the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team?

The game resumes.

No one is out, no one is on base.

The score on the field was 1:0, and the Seido High School baseball team led by one point.

The ball counts two bad balls and one good ball.

Standing in the strike zone now is Ryosuke Kominato, who is known as the demon beater in the Seido High School baseball team.

It was he who used as a decoy before, cooperating with Kuramochi all the way through the hurdles and returning to home plate.

Now, the point they want has been taken by them.

Ryosuke Kominato's attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn.

Originally, he was aggressive, and he hated to draw all the attention of the pitcher to his body.

Now, the whole person is restrained, like a harmless baby.

Then if you really look at him like this, then I'm afraid you won't even know how to die.

The words demon beater are not a joke.

Sakurasawa High School's players, facing such an opponent, it stands to reason that there is no possibility of negligence in any case.

But when Chang Xuming was pitching, many people felt that he was not serious.

The guy stepped out so lightly, and then threw the ball out as if he were throwing a ball.

Baseballs fly slowly.

"What the hell is this?"

Although Chang Xuming's pitching before, the speed was not fast.

But at that time, he was still in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school, and by and large, there was no problem with pitching.

But now?

That is, the pitching speed of the third grade of elementary school.

So much so that many people at the scene were very worried, can this guy throw the ball into their catcher's glove?

If not......

They can't imagine how Sakurasawa High School will fight next?

Isn't it possible to send away all the beaters of the Qingdao High School baseball team?

This thought appeared in the minds of everyone at the scene.

Including the friends in the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, they are basically confused now.

They really don't understand, what does Chang Xuming want to do?

Even if it's a quirk ball, it's not that dependent on ball speed.

But you can't throw the ball too slowly.

Once the ball speed is slow to a certain extent, the opponent can hit the ball lightly.

Ryosuke Kominato, who was originally going to be entangled for a while and completely defeat the opponent's pitcher.

After seeing the flying ball, I changed my mind.

Despite the expression of the opposing pitcher, he looked serious, as if there was nothing wrong with it.

But his pitching has been messed up.

It should be the stolen base of Kurachi, and it has successfully affected the opponent's pitcher.

Thinking of this, Ryosuke Kominato, no longer intended to drag it out, he waved the bat in his hand cleanly.

"Ping!"

Just as he thought, the baseball was knocked out by him.

It's just that the touch of the shock in the hand is a little discordant.

The baseball that had been knocked out flew high, flying forward for almost seventeen or eighteen meters, and then began to fall.

Ryosuke Kominato, who spread his bat and ran forward, suddenly became ugly.

Originally, he thought it was his own delusion, but now it seems that it is not.

He really didn't hit the heart of the ball, and the baseball not only flew slowly, but also didn't fly far.

"Everything was expected by the great god!"

Inamoto trotted all the way to the underside of the baseball, and then jumped to his feet.

"Smack!"

Steadily tucked the baseball into his glove.

After landing, he rolled on the spot and got back on his feet.

"Genius guarding, experienced, just different."

He excitedly held up his gloves and signaled that he had taken the ball.

"Out!"

The referee saw that the living treasure had played enough, and then announced the result.

There was no suspense in the result, and Ryosuke Kominato was out.

One person is out, no one is on base.

In the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team.

The friends erupted into a series of sighs of regret.

"What a pity!"

"These guys from Sakurasawa High School, they must be too lucky......"

"It happened to fall within the range of the guerrillas."

"What the hell is that stinking guy doing? Did he think he could be famous? ”

Everyone is feeling sorry for Ryosuke Kominato.

Zhang Han's eyes narrowed slightly.

Chris turned his head to look at Zhang Han, and just happened to see his small movements.

"I've noticed it, it's really Zhang Han."

Not only Zhang Han, but there were also four or five people in the Qingdao High School baseball team, who were also aware of the danger and abnormality.

Previously, they speculated that although Nagao Akira had a slightly different pitching style from Sawamura.

But in terms of results, the two of them should be the same type of players.

In other words, Chang Xuming should also be a quirk ball pitcher.

It's just a quirk pitcher who is different from Sawamura.

But now, four or five people, including Chris and Zhang Han, have realized that their previous thinking was wrong.

This is no ordinary quirk ball.

"It's too bad luck!"

Next to stand in the strike zone is the third batter of the Seido High School baseball team in this game, Miyuki Kazuya.

After this guy stood in the strike zone, he was very decisive, and Chang Xuming's first ball, he swung the bat.

As a result, the bats and baseballs staggered, and neither was able to touch the other.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!!"

Originally, Miyuki was just guessing, but after a blow, he completely confirmed his previous thoughts.

This is not a quirk ball at all, but a butterfly ball known as one of the magic balls.

I really didn't expect that in high school baseball, I would be able to meet such a pitcher?
