"In the end, the sharpest curveball was chosen, the hitter Tanaka-kun did not catch the most accurate arc, and he couldn't pick up the high shot, the pitcher was on the front ball, and was successfully picked up by the starting pitcher Tanba-kun of Seido, three outs, offensively and defensively, and the remaining three-base runner, Seido High School did not allow the Red Sea Sagara High School to score further!!"

The offensive that was very stubbornly blocked, Tanba who did not give the Red Sea Sagara High School to further expand its advantage, this is very important for the next rhythm of Qingdao High School, as long as the pace is not messed up, in the face of the Red Sea Sagara High School's line, Tanba Koichiro still has considerable confidence, which will not let Kataoka Supervisor and Ochiai Hiromitsu's strategic intentions fail, it doesn't need much, as long as he can survive the first half, Tanba will complete the minimum pitching task, of course, this is a poor plan, under normal circumstances, Superintendent Kataoka and Hiromitsu Ochiai naturally hope that Tanba can survive seven or eight rounds, so that Shigeruno, who has just experienced a fierce battle in the finals, can recuperate in this first round, which is the best result for Seido High School.

"Well, it's just one point, in this case, the advantage of the Red Sea is not so obvious."

"By the way, those five sticks just now were a little anxious, right?"

"It should be Qingdao's capture that made him anxious."

"It's really a favorite to win the championship."

"The first point to get a point depends on whether the Red Sea can be used, in terms of momentum."

"And the most important thing is the garrison in the second half of the game, the Qingdao line is an even more terrifying existence, at present, it seems that the comprehensive combat power is going to surpass Xibang, right?"

"Yes, if the momentum can't be suppressed, let the Qingdao line bring up the rhythm, the Red Sea will be uncomfortable."

The first game of attack and defense that came to an end, whether it was the opening strong attack of the Red Sea University or the tenacious defense of Qingdao in the follow-up, showed a very high level of competition.

Let the spectators in the stands show different looks and talk to each other.

The contest between two famous schools.

They are looking forward to the best competitive conditions and performances of Qingdao and Red Sea.

On the third base side, in front of the Seido High School bench.

"There's nothing wrong with pitching, you have to keep your composure, especially the control of the low ball, and don't give the opposing side a chance to play easily."

Koichiro Tanami who returned to his bench.

Superintendent Kataoka clasped his hands to his chest and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Overseer."

Tanba gently lifted the brim of his hat, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and immediately replied in a loud voice.

Lose points in the first game.

This is not a comfortable thing for Tamba himself.

The strong attack on the opposite side also brought him a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, he only stopped at one point, otherwise, Tanba could have foreseen how difficult his situation would be next.

"Hmm"

Superintendent Kataoka bowed slightly, and the expression on his face softened slightly.

After all, Tamba is a pitcher that he has trained himself for more than two years.

And this is his last summer tournament.

Naturally, Superintendent Kataoka wants Tamba to put his best foot forward and bring out the highest level of pitching.

"Tambosan, I still want to compete...

Perception as a pitcher, or should I say a certain kind of acuity peculiar to Shigerun.

Shigerno could more or less detect a trace of the restless thoughts hidden in the depths of his heart by Tanba's predecessors.

Are you not willing to be a substitute for your high school career?

"Tambosan, sometimes it's a little childish and cute."

The corners of Shigero's mouth raised a beautiful arc, smiled lowly, and whispered.

"Huh? Did you just say that? Ashin? ”

Kuramori, who was wiping his metal bat and preparing for the blow before going on the court, raised his head and asked with a look of confusion.

"I'm saying, Tamba's predecessors unexpectedly have a cute side."

Shigeru Ye smiled lightly, and what he said was indeed the truth, but Kuramochi felt a chill attack, and his face showed a trace of obvious disgust, as well as a trace of horror to look at Shigeru Ye in front of him.

Even the children's shoes of Minato Harushi who had just handed warm water to Shigerno were stiff, standing in place, looking at the ace senior in front of him in a daze.

Kuramochi: It's a comedic change of expression.

Ling Maoye's eyebrows raised slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of playfulness in his pupils.

Let Kurachi roll his eyes angrily.

This ace of his own family is really going farther and farther on the road of bad taste.

"The importance of the opening dominance, I don't need to say more, you should all know very well, the rhythm can never be so easily grasped by the opponent, in the second half of the attack, try to put pressure on that pitcher as much as possible, not necessarily seek hits and scoring, but to apply the pressure exactly to the past, curb their momentum and rhythm, understand!?"

Superintendent Kataoka stood in front of the bench and looked at his players and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Overseer!!"

Shigerun, Tetsukuro, Kuramochi, Isashiki and others immediately responded in a loud voice.

On the first base side, in front of the bench of the Red Sea Osagara High School.

"Matsuoka, you understand, right? The importance of this first game. ”

Superintendent Koizumi looked at his beloved apprentice in front of him with a solemn expression, and said in a calm tone.

"Yes, Superintendent, rest assured, I understand."

The Matsuoka realm nodded heavily, held the brim of his hat, and answered loudly.

"Good!"

"So! Let's go! ”

"Oooo

"In the second half of the first inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, the first bat, the shortstop, Kuramochi-kun."

"Come on, Kurachi."

"Get that point back"

"It's up to you, Ace, to defeat them all."

"Definitely going to get to the base, Kurachi."

"Matsuoka-kun, let's take them one by one."

"Qingdao, Qingdao, Qingdao."

"Sagara, Sagara, Sagara."

The two teams continued to sound in support, and who was unwilling to easily give up the momentum and dominance.

Especially for Red Sea Daisagara High School.

They were even more desperate to further define their lead in the first game.

"Come on, soul dull guy, let me see how strong your so-called strongest pitcher in Kanagawa is!?"

A metal bat held tightly in the palm of your hand.

Kuramori's pupils showed a fierce look.

"Whether it is the strongest or not remains to be discussed, but it is definitely more than enough to deal with your Qingdao High School."

A tall figure stepping on the pitcher's mound.

The ace pitcher of the Red Sea Daisagara High School, Matsuoka Kairen, had a sharp cold light beating in the depths of his eyes.

“playball！！”

Accompanied by the words of the presiding judge who fell.

Arms raised high.

Aiming in the direction of home plate, the left arm flung firmly forward.

"Huh"

The shadow that jumped out suddenly flickered in front of him, and when it was approaching the inside corner.

"Coming!?"

Positions that respond in a timely manner.

"Huh"

It was already a metal bat that was swinging very quickly.

But it's still hard to catch the shadow of the ball that hits straight in.

"Boom!!"

A roar in the upper side position.

"Good shot!!"

The cold ball striker that ran past.

With the words of the presiding judge's judgment that fell.

The cold color on Kuramori's face became more and more intense.
