Chapter 21: The Offensive Nature of the Saigo War
It's just that you can't lose the game in such a fiasco, the spring competition is a reference to the summer competition, or a microcosm, if your own team is out of the spring competition in the form of being abused by blood, it is definitely not a good thing for the entire team of Saigo High School.
Even if he loses the game, he will definitely make Qingdao High School break two or three teeth, which is the only expectation that Superintendent Simon has for his players.
"Yes!!"
"In the first half of the fifth inning, Saigo High School's attack, eight bats, pitcher, Jouchi-kun"
Steady, as long as it can be steady, the victory of this game is within reach, this is the only thought of Inoue's senior when he stands on the pitcher's mound.
Compared to Koichiro Tanba in the second grade.
The third-year Koji Inoue seniors are much more mature and stable than Tanba in terms of mentality, and they will not be arrogant because of big advantages, nor will they collapse because of big disadvantages, complete the responsibilities they should complete, and do what they can do, this is what Koji Inoue requires of himself, and it is also Koji Inoue's definition of his position in this team.
Koji Inoue is well aware of his strength.
Every time you get on board.
I always remind myself in my heart that I should be cautious in my pitching, and I must not make the slightest mistake.
Do not seek merit, but seek no fault.
Strictly speaking, this idea of Koji Inoue is not the idea that a trump card should have, Inoue's consciousness, and it is definitely not a trump card that bears the team's desire to stand on the pitcher's hill, or it should be said that because he is too self-aware, which leads to Inoue's seniors being too cautious and subtle at the pitching moment, the kind of idea that the team must not lose points because of their own mistakes, cannot be said to be wrong, but for the ace pitcher of the team, But it has become the biggest constraint for Inoue's predecessors.
The so-called ace pitcher must be able to dare to carry the expectations of the whole team at certain moments and fight bravely.
And that's exactly what happened.
Koji Inoue is also easy to be found by opponents in the game.
Koji Inoue, who didn't dare to really let go of the attack.
"Huh"
At that pitching moment.
There will definitely be reservations, there are gaps that may be found.
"Whew!!"
"Pong!!"
"Oh oh oh, after swinging the ball in the low position in the outside corner of the first ball, eight sticks, Jonachi-kun grabbed the trajectory of the jet ball of the Seongdo ace Inoue Jun, and successfully pulled it to the left field!!"
"Whoosh"
"Left outfield!?"
"Smack!"
"Safe base!!"
The precise pulling, perfectly capturing the blow of the center of the ball, Saigo High School Ace Castle, very meticulously grasped the trajectory of the jet ball of the Inoue seniors. A precise guide shot pulled the ball out and successfully stepped on the first base, and at the beginning of the first half of the fifth inning, it was the signal to attack.
"Good ball, Jonai."
"Well done, Jouchi-kun."
"Don't admit defeat, the game is far from over, it's just five points, you can chase it back casually."
"Come on, Saigo High School."
It's not a huge support group, it's not a very loud cheering voice, but you can feel the hot emotions in it.
Whether it's the players on both sides or the fans in the stands.
I don't want to see the defeat of my own team here!!
"Nine sticks, stalwarts, Takahashi-kun."
"It doesn't matter if it's stealing the base and sacrificing the attack, concentrate on dealing with the beater, Inoue-senpai, I'll be in charge of the runner!!"
At home plate, Senior Chris looked solemnly at Senior Inoue on the pitcher's mound, and calmly gestured a code.
The senior Inoue on the pitcher's mound also nodded slightly.
It's just one base, there's no need to worry about it at all, the point difference is enough, the important thing is to get the number of outs you should win, and that's it.
Koji Inoue is very clear in his heart.
Unfortunately, sometimes, when you think there is no problem, it is when the problem is coming.
"Huh"
"Huh"
"Smack"
"Good Ball !!"
After the first ball was straight in the outside corner of the ball, accurately avoiding the batter's bat, and drilling into the ball sleeve behind Chris behind him, on the second ball, Chris was very decisive with a shoot ball that was close to the inside corner.
This is a transverse refractive sphere that is similar to a cutter and the opposite of a cutter.
And the cut ball can be described as two sides of the same coin.
Roughly the same grip.
The subtle differences, as well as the difference in the direction of the finger force at the moment of the shot.
As a result, the chipping ball and the jetting ball are two seemingly identical, but fundamentally different change balls.
It is also a laterally changing ball, and although Inoue's predecessor's jet ball cannot reach the high-speed refraction change of Shigerino Shin, the arc of refraction is not as exaggerated as Shigerino's cutting ball.
However, the most proud deciding goal that is the third-year ace Inoue senior.
on the change in refraction.
Inoue Senpai has his own unique perspective.
Delicate and delicate variations.
As long as the hitter can't catch the ball, it's a win!!
This is the pitching philosophy of Inoue Senpai.
The middle finger and index finger are brought together, and the tiny induction on the fingertips.
Inoue senior's impressive steps forward, pouring all the strength of his body into his fingers, the right arm that suddenly fell off.
"Huh"
Flashing moments.
A flash of aurora flew out from the fingertips of Inoue's seniors.
The moment when the white light shines.
The straight trajectory of the ball suddenly formed a refractive arc towards the inside corner when the ball close to the center burst into home plate.
"Very good ball path!"
A moment of joy flashed in Chris's senior's pupils.
A dark shadow struck.
The swinging forward.
"Huh"
In Chris's senior's suddenly constricted pupils, a piercing sound of metal grinding sounded.
"Pong!!"
A vigorous and violent roar rang out at the moment.
"Oooh oh oh!?"
In the astonished looks of the thousands of spectators in the stands.
"Whoosh"
A white light shot up from home plate.
Flying in the sky, he galloped towards the center left outfield.
"Hardcore!!"
Almost 0.5 second collision.
It will be at the moment when the ball flies out.
At home base, Chris quickly stood up and shouted in the direction of the outfielders.
"I'm already chasing, how can I fix !!?"
In the direction of the outfield, as early as the moment when the ball flew out.
As a stalwart, Isashiki was already reacting quickly after 0.5 seconds, and at the moment of making a corresponding judgment, he was quite decisive and retreated and ran.
Towards the center of the left field in the middle line.
He looked at the flickering shadow above his head.
Izuoshiki, who was running wildly underneath, gritted his teeth and struggled to follow the ball on top.
However, it's a pity.
The reaction of Izuoshiki's seniors was not unpleasant.
After all, I still couldn't catch up with the ball that was perfectly captured in the center of the ball.
There will be three positions left before the ball will be played.
"Huh"
"Snap"
The standard arc fell on the trajectory, and the ball suddenly fell and landed on the surface in the middle of the center and left field, making a dull sound.
