Chapter 35: The Long Story of the Eighty-Meter Miracle (Part 1)
No one is out, there is someone on first base.
In the first half of the seventh inning, the Osaka Kiryu top hitters, who had been suppressed by the Seido High School baseball team, finally began to show their hideous fangs.
They, it's out!
Just as the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team had guessed before, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team prepared a killer move against them.
It's just that in the previous game, the killer move has not been taken out.
"It's so calm!"
"It's worthy of Mr. Matsumoto, and there is really a set."
Superintendent Kataoka, who was in the rest area, frowned slightly.
"If we come up with the so-called killer move at the beginning, we can also find a way to crack it in the rest of the game. At this time, with only three rounds left in the game, it will be difficult for us to come up with a way to crack it. ”
Coach Ochiai is also breathtaking.
There is really nothing to mess with who can become the first overseer in the local area.
This is the case with the Kunutome supervisor of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team, and the same is true with the Matsumoto supervisor of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.
Minister Ota rubbed his hands nervously.
Seeing that they were about to win the game, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team suddenly came to such a hand.
Could it be that they have no other choice......
Thinking about it, Minister Ota set his sights on the outfield of the Seido High School baseball team.
The real ace in their team who wears the number 1 shirt is there right now.
If the Qingdao High School baseball team wants to win today's game steadily, it doesn't seem so difficult to do.
They are three points ahead of their opponents, as long as the team's real ace Zhang Han is replaced, today's game is equivalent to winning.
It's just that Kataoka's attitude is very resolute.
Since he decided not to let Zhang Han pitch, he would not change easily.
This is also the reason why Minister Ota is nervous.
Send Zhang Han on the field and use his lightspeed ball to clean up the hitters of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.
It should not be difficult.
If Zhang Han is not allowed to play, only the team's remaining two pitchers will be relied upon. Eijun Sawamura, a first-year, and Kawakami, a second-year pitcher who has not yet played.
To tell you the truth, Minister Ota really doesn't have much confidence.
Not to mention confidence, he only has to worry now.
Because he knew very well in his own heart that it was absolutely impossible to rely on these two first- and second-year pitchers to ensure their current advantage.
Kawakami, who didn't play in the second grade, said that Sawamura must have reached the stage of the end of the strong crossbow.
Even though he only played two or three innings.
But the players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team have obviously seen through this guy's reality.
"Ping!"
The second batter who followed the court sent the ball flying very cleanly.
The moment the baseball flew out, the batter also ran to first base as fast as he could.
The reaction of the Seido High School baseball team was definitely not slow, and after the fielder stopped the baseball, he passed the ball directly to first base.
But the speed is still a step slower.
The hitter ran to first base without a hitch.
And that's not all, when the boys of the Qingdao High School baseball team pass the ball to first base.
The guy who had just run to second base was like a hungry wolf that smelled fish, and frantically pounced on third base.
"So fast!"
"This decision is too fierce, isn't it?"
The fans in the stands were amazed.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team also have a feeling of chilling all over their bodies.
Once the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team really decides to explode their strength, the power they can burst out, even the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, can't be taken lightly.
No one is out, there are people on first and third base.
Miyuki, who was in the position of the catcher, felt a moment of weakness.
The players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team did not actually prepare any conspiracy, but used their genuine strength to persecute Sawamura Eijun.
They stood up front and largely blocked Sawamura's inside corners, which Eisumi Sawamura excelled at.
If that's all he wants, Sawamura Eijun can still rely on his bizarre pitching posture and fight with the quirk ball.
The scariest thing about the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team is that they have completely given up their plans to play long when they face off against Sawamura Eijun.
Based on a steady swing of the stick.
Whenever you have the chance, sweep the baseball into the air.
Speaking of which, of course, this is not an easy thing to do.
For a fighter to do this, he or she must have superb striking skills and the speed of the fighter must not be slow.
In addition to playing well, there is also a very important reason why the player was able to get on base.
It's that they're moving fast enough.
I was able to get on base before the Seido High School baseball team could pass the ball back.
Not only the second base, but also the speed of the first baseman, also made the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team suffer a lot of losses.
That's what they are capable of.
And it's not just one player who has such an ability, it's an ability that most of their players have.
It's horrible!
Later in the game, when the players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team began to get acquainted with their opponents, they began to show their hidden hole cards.
The combat effectiveness they were able to display was simply appalling.
The Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team in this state has never been seen before at Seido High School.
Previously, the Seido High School baseball team played against Kiryu Osaka, and they were always on the side behind them, and they were the chasers.
The comprehensive strength is not comparable to others, so naturally they are not eligible to enjoy this kind of treatment that only those with strong strength can have.
Until today.
The fully grown Seido High School baseball team can suppress the big brother before him.
The friends of the Seido High School baseball team really realized that the team that won the most championships in the history of Koshien was definitely not in vain.
They are really a set.
Even if it is not their strongest era, the combat effectiveness they say can be displayed is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary teams.
So don't look at them now ahead, if you don't get it right, the situation could be reversed dramatically.
In order to avoid this, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are naturally more careful.
But it didn't work......
The white baseball was knocked out.
"Short, escort?"
The sudden scene caught the friends off guard.
Masuko ran desperately forward, trying to pick up the ball and pass it to home plate.
The Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, as the third baseball player of the core hitter, is a star player known for its striking strength.
Will you choose to play short when no one is out and there are people on first and third base?
Isn't that a little too incredible?
Masuko is not slow.
Although he hadn't thought of it before, he wasn't prepared at all.
But the countless drills before have formed inertia in his body.
There is no need for the brain to give instructions, and his body is naturally able to respond.
It's just that this ball, halfway through the roll, I don't know what it touched and suddenly turned.
This made Zengzi Tho, who had been rushing all the way, pounce into the air.
"Irregular bouncing?"
"Can you hit a short fight and hit irregular bounces?"
"There's no way to do it, the ground of baseball is not a basketball court, so it can't be so flat."
This is unlikely, but not impossible.
It's a pity that the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are now in such a situation.
When they reacted, wait until Masuko finally catches up with the ball and takes it into his glove.
It's too late.
The runner who was originally on third base had already started early before Sawamura threw the ball.
When the ball came out, he turned irregularly, and he was back to home plate without a hitch.
Help the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team score the fifth point in today's game,
Although the Seido High School baseball team is not a team that is known for its defense, they have always been talked about for their strong attacking power.
But as one of the top giants in the country, combined with Kataoka's superintendent's hellish garrison practice.
Unless the pitchers on the Qingdao High School baseball team collapse, it's really hard for them to drop so many points in a single game.
That's the case with the Seido High School baseball team right now.
Lost a full five points.
The score on the field became 7:5.
The gap between the two sides has once again been reduced to only two points.
And that's not all, the offense of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team is far from over.
Not only did the runners on third base go back, but the runners who were originally short hitters have also successfully reached first base.
For the friends of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, this is obviously a windfall.
As for the runners who were originally in the first category, they took this opportunity to trot all the way, past second base, to third base.
So now the situation on the field is still that no one is out of the game, and there are people on first and third base.
The supporters of the Seido High School baseball team in the stands were completely stunned.
From their point of view, the Seido High School baseball players are about to win the game.
How did it end up like this?
They are a little difficult to accept......
Or rather, there is simply no way to accept it.
One by one, they pouted, and they didn't know what to say.
But the attitude has spoken for itself, and the wind on the field is starting to change.
In the rest area of the Kiryu High School baseball team in Osaka, Superintendent Matsumoto looks like he is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.
"It doesn't need much, just a point or two. You can't rush your prey, or they'll be desperate. ”
Superintendent Matsumoto has already guessed that the hidden danger of Zhang Han's pitching on the court is definitely not small.
That's why the Qingdao High School baseball team is so resolute, basically not letting their aces pitch on the court.
But that's all about the general situation.
Once the Qingdao High School baseball team was really pushed to the edge of the cliff.
It is not incomprehensible that the Qingdao High School baseball team, which has fallen into a frenzy, has made some radical reactions.
In Matsumoto's opinion, that's even 100 percent going to happen.
So we can't rush it now!
This time, we have to level the score as much as possible, and the real decision of the game is in the last game.
Supervised Matsumoto's plan is good.
It's just that their players seem to have gone crazy.
Especially at this time, the fourth stick that stood on the blow to go, the children of the pavilion Guangmei.
Anyone can see that Hiromi Kan is in a state of great exhaustion.
He only threw about a hundred pitches tonight, which is not a lot of pitches.
But because the opponent was the Seido High School baseball team, the challenge he faced was unprecedented.
At this time, his physical strength was also on the verge of limit.
But he's in excellent form.
His fighting spirit is very high, and his mental strength forces his physical strength, developing his potential to an unimaginable situation.
All in all, he was able to hold on.
Not only can I hold on, but I can also perform very well in the process of the game.
His eyes were fixed on the pitcher of the Seido High School baseball team, that is, Sawamura Eijun, a first-year student.
It was this guy before who struck him out.
"Revenge!"
"Hit him with the baseball he stole from the stinky boy!"
Hiromi Kan's face showed a smile like a demon.
It looks very hideous.
Sawamura Eijun on the pitcher's hill took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
His previous self-confidence had long since begun to know which country he had been thrown into.
These guys from the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team have completely found a way to fight him, and they can easily knock the ball out.
That's too hard for a pitcher!
So much so that Sawamura Eijun couldn't think about it at all.
Once he thinks about the situation of these blows, he doesn't know how he should hold on?
The only thing he can do now is drag these guys from the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.
Throw the ball out with all your might.
The hope of winning the number of outs is pinned on the fielders who are guarding.
"Whoosh!"
A white baseball, whizzing out.
Miyuki Kazuya, who was in the position of the catcher, had an extremely ugly face.
The moment he saw Sawamura throw the ball, Miyukichi also knew that he was a first-grade friend.
I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore......
It's not that Eijun Sawamura's strength is not good, it's not that he is not qualified to pitch on the Koshien court.
It's just that his opponent is too strong!
Team Cosmos, Kiryu Osaka.
Even these teams that are now participating in Koshien are really sure that they can suppress their pitchers, and they can count them on their fingers.
Sawamura Rongjun's strength is not bad, but it's a pity that this first-grade junior brother is still a long way from this grade.
He is not Zhang Han after all.
It is impossible to have the qualifications of a top player in the first grade.
"This point, it's here!"
In the rest area of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, Superintendent Matsumoto's face showed the appearance of Ji-joo in his hand.
This first-year pitcher who suddenly appeared on the Qingdao High School baseball team bluffed to scare them.
I really want to rely on such a first-year pitcher to eliminate their Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.
Qingdao High School baseball team is too naïve.
Their Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team is definitely not an opponent that can be solved so easily.
"Ping!"
The baseball was pumped out of the way.
The baseball that was knocked off flew high and landed in the field.
The baseball landed directly above Zhang Han's head.
There is no problem with this ball being caught.
The players and supporters of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team did not dare to expect Zhang Han, the first person in the second grade, to make such a low-grade mistake.
But they didn't mind.
Although the ball will be caught by Zhang Han, the distance between the baseball and home plate is a full seventy or eighty meters.
In general, a distance of more than 60 meters is enough for a runner to run back to home plate.
More than 50 meters, it's not that you can't challenge it.
Stretching this straight-line distance to seventy or eighty meters, even if Zhang Han was a man with a light-speed ball, it was impossible for him to stop him.
The third-base runner of the Kiryu High School baseball team in Osaka directly gave a code to the runners on the third base.
Look at my gestures, as soon as the guy catches the ball, I drop my hand.
The runner on third base nodded heavily.
Even if this point is a certainty, they will give it their all.
This momentum must be brought to the fore.
Even if they soon chase the difference between the two sides to just one point, the situation is still that they are behind.
If they can't show this indomitable momentum, how can they suppress these hateful guys in Qingdao High School baseball in the following games?
Almost everyone on the scene thought that this ball would be 100% caught.
And the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team will also use this high-flying ball from the outfield to successfully score another point.
Shorten the score gap between the two sides to one point.
The only one with different ideas on the scene was probably Zhang Han.
Even the other friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have already made a bad prediction about the final result at this time.
Zhang Han looked at the baseball that was about to fall, and his body slowly retreated, leaving a buffer zone of four or five meters.
Then he took a deep breath.
"What does he want to do?"
Many female fans of Zhang Han seem to have telepathy, and their eyes stay on Zhang Han's body.
They desperately want to know, what kind of plans does Zhang Han have?
A lot of cameras followed.
The purpose of the camera turning over is not that they think Zhang Han can turn the tide.
It's just because after the camera stays on Zhang Han, there is a great probability of increasing the ratings.
It is precisely for this reason that the classic scene was filmed by the camera from different perspectives.
People saw Zhang Han retreating, and in the process of the baseball falling, the whole person ran forward like crazy.
The acceleration of five or six meters increased his speed to an extremely terrifying level.
In the face of the falling baseball, he caught it with his gloves, and then ran forward three or four steps without stopping.
In the course of three or four steps, he had passed the baseball from his glove to his left hand, and then his arm seemed to be covered with bowstrings.
"Bang!"
A white baseball, whizzing out.
Like a laser, it instantly crossed a distance of dozens of meters and appeared directly in front of Miyuki Kazuya.
"Mom!"
"It's ???"
Before the results came out, the spectators in the stands stood up excitedly.
Obviously, they were pleasantly surprised by such a goal.
It was worth the trip.
The Koshien tickets I bought this time are worth the ticket price.
"Smack!"
After Miyuki receives the ball, he presses down.
His gloves just pressed against the large Kiryu runner who had fallen down.
The gloves touched the player, and the player touched the base bag at about the same time.
The referee has no way of telling which one is faster?
Although there is no way to judge objectively, he must have his own ideas subjectively.
Such an amazing 80-meter long pass, if the final result is not touched?
How much of a pity is that?
"Out !!"
Once out, it's a classic in Koshien history.
Double Kill !!
