Chapter 116 14 Foreign Academy Battle Five
Supervisor Guoyou looked at Cheng Gongming who came back with a black suit with a cold face.
"Who made you bat?"
Cheng Gongming immediately fixed on Harada like an electric shock. Didn't he feel that sending out a double play was too shameful, so he rushed to the base in a hurry.
"Take you off if you're messing around like this. Go get dressed and play."
Hehehehe, Tiantian knew that if he threatened him with this, he would be replaced!If he didn't do it before, he would still be substituted? !He has seen through it all, the supervisor always has a hundred reasons to take him off the field.He's going to be substituted anyway, so it's better for him to be cool and cool first.snort!
Ning Gongming didn't bring a spare jersey. Who brings a spare jersey when playing games these days? Isn't it just a bit dirty?
Two minutes later, Cheng Gongming happily put on Su Qing's spare jersey.Every time Su Qing plays a game, he will prepare several spare jerseys, especially after coming to Koshien, he has prepared more.Cheng Gongming found out how much Su Qing hated the black soil of Jiashiyuan, which was regarded as a sacred soil by high school baseball players.
Su Qing's height is about the same as Cheng Gongming's. Cheng Gongming doesn't need to worry about whether it fits or not when wearing Su Qing's spare jersey.
In fact, Su Qing did not say that what he threw to Cheng Gongming was the smallest jersey he brought. Unlike others, Su Qing was more used to looser clothes, while most of Daoshi's team uniforms were tighter. , so he specially customized some jerseys one size larger.
The one just thrown to Narimiya Naru was the team uniform issued by the real school.
Of course this is just a small episode.
After changing into a new jersey, Naruto Naruto felt much more comfortable. The summer in Koshien was really hot. Even if he only pitched two innings and didn’t exert much effort, Naruto Naruto was sweating all over. The new jersey, suddenly felt much better.
He weighed the chalk bag, and Cheng Gongming found that the chalk bag seemed a little wet. When he went down the hill in the last game, the chalk bag was still dry.
It seems that the pitcher from Foreign Academy is under a lot of pressure.
Thinking that most of the other party's pressure came from himself, Cheng Gongming's face burst into a smile.
Who knows that Harada looked at him like a fool at this time, and was inexplicably happy like a big-headed ghost. If you don't laugh, who are you laughing at?
Another minute passed, and after Inami's players were all in place, Narimiya Naru also threw out his first pitch of the half-inning.Both Harada and Narimiya Ming knew that it was difficult for the low-level lineup of Yang Xueyuan to pose any threat to Inashi, but people still have to pursue something, right?
Three strikes can no longer satisfy Cheng Gongming, he wants to pursue a more beautiful three strikes!
"The inside corner is low! A perfect straight ball just tucked into the extreme corner of the strike zone! The hitter was frozen!"
How can you cast a low inner angle and not cast an outer angle high to pull a diagonal line...
The hitter also guessed this, but he still missed the outside corner.
I couldn't seize the opportunity at all...
Nanako Okishima from the Western Gakuen looked at Narumi Naruto, who was pressing his cap on the mound to hide the smile on his face. This is simply a devil!
"Straight ball! Missed the swing! Three strikes, and three strikes again! Inami's Narimiya has set off his own strikeout frenzy in Koshien..."
Okishima ran back to the rest area with his head down, he is so useless...
Facing the next two hitters, Harada didn't let Narumiya no longer let him, and mixed some change balls in the straight ball.These two changeup balls were actually bad balls, but the batter swung without hesitation.
It can be seen that under Cheng Gongming's high-pressure control, the batters of the foreign school have begun to lose their positions.The hitters are already like this, the pitchers must have a hard time...
When Harada ran off the field, he glanced at the rest area of the Western Academy. Their ace Sato was sitting on the bench in the front row of the rest area with a towel, and he didn't look very good.
It was Daoshi's side who quickly ended a half-round, forcing the players from the Western Academy who hadn't rested for a long time to return to the field.That's right, for the current foreign academy players, the word "upper" can be used.
Sato was the first to run on the field, and when he reached the mound, he began to clean up the small hole that Narimiya had left before he pitched.Sato's height is much taller than Narimiya's, so his stride is also larger than Narimiya's, but it's not that big.
If he didn't deal with the small hole left by Cheng Gongming, he would easily sprain his ankle.
He flattened Narimiya Ming's hole, and then stepped on a small shallow hole at the approximate location of his pitch to make it easier for the next pitch.After Sato finished doing this, Inami's eight-stick Tsubasa Hirai also came on stage.
Hirai is also in the third grade, but he doesn't have Yoshizawa's ambitions. After graduating from high school, he will most likely choose to go to school. It would be better if he can go to school by relying on baseball, and there is no regret if he can't.In Quan Daoshi, only his mentality is the most peaceful, and it can be said that he plays stably.
There will be no memory buff bonus, nor will it suddenly stretch out at a certain moment.Well, Tsubasa Hirai didn't do much this summer.In short, Tsubasa Hirai is an ordinary but hard-working player.
Hirai Tsubasa no longer pursues hits. He only hopes to make some contributions to the team. How can he contribute to the team without hitting hits?
"Ball four."
Ever since he found it difficult to contribute to the lineup, Tsubasa Hirai began to work hard on his ball selection ability. During this period, the probability of making a wrong choice and being struck out was not low.But this thing is to fight!And Guoyou Supervision has never put pressure on him, so this makes him have a better attitude to fight for the four-ball walk.
So far, Hirai Tsubasa's ball selection ability has reached the upper-middle level of Inami.Occasionally, like Shirakawa, he can destroy a strike that may cause him to be struck out.
Hirai Tsubasa picked four balls to get on base, which undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Hirakawa. He had lost one of his two stable outs, and the possibility of hitting the line without missing a point against Inami was reduced by one point. ah!
Especially after Fan Shengmei put out the short stick without hesitation, the possibility of even catching a double kill was reduced.Hirakawa is a worry.
If possible, Hirakawa still doesn't want Inomi's advance tactics to be successful. Once successful, facing Karl Roth, Shirakawa, and possibly Su Qing, the probability of them losing points is not so high!
After struggling for a while, Hirakawa issued a double signal, one was for the infielders to step forward and the other was for Sato.At this time, let's see if we can use the changing ball to get a good number of goals.
As long as he has two strikes, he is not too afraid of Fan Shengmei's short bat.After all, after two strikes, if the hitter hits out of bounds with the stub, he will be out of the game directly.
In fact, Fan Shengmei is not a good short bat player. Every time it is his turn to bat, he is either out or has no one on base. His speed is not fast, and the surprise hit method is not suitable for him.
Putting out the short stick this time, he actually felt a little nervous.
It can be seen from this that Fan Shengmei is actually not a hitter who can clearly understand himself and understand the situation.Isn't the main reason why Guoyou Supervisor hasn't replaced him yet is that Daoshi's line play is already strong enough, so there is no need to change it?
Just like Hirai Tsubasa, he knows very well that what he does well is the icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't do well. As long as he doesn't contribute negative value to the team, the National Friends of Supervision can tolerate it.
At the same time, Tsubasa Hirai also knows that he can hang out, but he must not hang around in a muddle-headed manner. He occasionally tries to make his presence felt in front of Supervisor Kunitomo. Now that he has made his presence known, he also gives Fan Shengmei a chance, but this Is this really an opportunity for Fan Shengmei?
If Fan Shengmei can successfully complete the advancing tactics this time, then he can continue to hang out in Daoshi.But Fan Shengmei, who is still dreaming of blockbuster spring and autumn dreams, has not weakened her training, but her talent determines her upper limit.
Like Hirai Tsubasa, he doesn't have any amazing talent in hitting. Hirai Tsubasa has found a new way out for himself, so what about Fan Shengmei?
"Pong."
"Ah~ It's a pity that it's out of bounds again. Now there are only two good balls. If the next hit still fails, Fan Fan will be out."
Hirai Tsubasa, who was on the first base bag, was also worried about his teammates. In fact, it doesn't matter if Fan Sheng is not good at it. As long as he is not involved in the game, Kunitomo supervision is also acceptable.
What are you really afraid of!
Fan Shengmei's ball was pointed straight towards the pitcher. Sato directly caught the ball with his glove, and then easily passed it back to second base.
"Out! It's another double play! Pitcher Sato caught the ball straight, what a wonderful double play defense!"
Fan Shengmei's face was extremely ugly. Tsubasa Hirai, who ran back from second base, patted his partner on the shoulder and finally just sighed without saying any words of comfort.
When the two passed by Supervisor Guoyou, Supervisor Guoyou didn't express anything, but the icy aura that came with it still made Fan Shengmei shiver.
At this time, Karl Ross had already stepped into the strike zone, pressed the helmet with his left hand, and completely straightened the helmet.His right hand was spinning the bat, and the bat spun easily on Carlos' right hand, looking very cool.
Karl Ross just summed up his long experience off the court. First of all, when facing Sato's speed ball, he must not be fooled by his speed in the first half of the ball. He feels that he has sufficient reaction time.The final change is the deadliest!The final change is not slow at all, making it easy for the hitter to miss the ball.
There is also the slider. The bad ball rate is high. In fact, there is no need to chase the ball. The main reason is that the trajectory of the slider is too similar to the straight ball, which is too confusing. He must find a way to judge the slider stably. OK.
Sato's straight ball is actually not very powerful, just a few shots were relatively high, not bad.It's hard to imagine a pitcher who's so good with the breakup ball not being able to handle the straight ball.
But the fact is that if you can catch an out-of-control straight ball, it is not impossible to soar into the sky.
Karl Rose took a deep breath and swung the bat three times before standing still.
Looking at Karl Rose who kept making small moves, Hirakawa said that he had learned that there is still this way to delay time. Maybe when he returns to the rest area soon, he can teach it to other teammates and let them try it too.Anyway, it can be delayed for a while, but we can no longer follow Inashi's rhythm.
After confirming that Carlos would not make any more small moves, Hirakawa made a signal, and Sato finally nodded after shaking his head twice.
Up is the changeup?
"puff."
"ball."
The ball bounced into the catcher's glove at a relatively inner corner, and the catcher's movements were a little flustered. Obviously, the change of the ball was beyond his expectation, but fortunately, he reacted in time to stop the ball.
Hirakawa threw the ball back to Sato with some worry, obviously he didn't use many balls now, why did he suddenly have a ball control problem?
Hirakawa wanted to change the type of ball to adjust Sato's state, but Sato shook off both the slider and the straight ball.Pingchuan could only play the signal for the change ball again.This time Sato didn't shake his head immediately but waited patiently for him to be allocated a position.Hirakawa thought for a while, and finally decided to continue to trust Sato.
After Sato nodded, Hirakawa began to move his body towards the inner corner. If he wanted to bet, bet big.bring it on!Hirakawa stretched out the glove straight in front of him.
Seeing the ball so far outside, Karl Ross immediately lost interest in chasing it.But it looks like it's a changeup.
"Snapped!"
Hirakawa put the glove on the left side of his body, waiting for the final judgment of the chief judge.
"Strike!"
The referee raised his hand high and made the final call for this precise change-up ball that was tucked low into the outside corner.
Carlos frowned. He felt that there was a higher chance that the ball was a bad ball, but the referee gave it to him and there was nothing he could do about it.One is good and one is bad, it's okay, he still has many opportunities.
The third one Sato threw was still a changeup ball. Carlos finally couldn't bear it and swung the bat, but in the end he missed the sweet potato digging changeup ball.
After regaining his balance, Carlos gave himself a slap in his heart. Why was he so impulsive all of a sudden?The most important thing to avoid when playing ball is to be impulsive, especially when you know the ball is going to be a bad ball but you still swing it to give the pitcher a good ball!
Karl Rose exited the strike zone and began to adjust his mentality.And the catcher Hirakawa's brain is spinning at a very fast speed at this time, two good and one bad, Hirakawa naturally cannot stop thinking about striking out the hitter, as long as he can get the number of outs, this half inning will be over.
Hirakawa thought hard and finally thought of a ball type that they had not used in this game. Hirakawa excitedly called out the signal. Sato was a little surprised, but he still nodded.
After throwing three straight balls in a row, even Karl Ross, who doesn't like to guess the ball, couldn't help but think that the next ball would not be a changeup ball. Thinking of this, he would naturally extend down to the next ball. What ball will it be.
It's either a slider or a straight ball.
My mind couldn't help thinking, and my body was also ready for a slippery ball and a straight ball, but when Karl Rose saw the ball coming, he felt his face being slapped instantly.
The ball is so slow, it's still a changeup!Throwing four changeups at him in a row is really a memory of him!
After envisioning the possible trajectory of the ball in his mind, Carlos sent the bat out, but the trajectory of the ball in reality was very different from what he imagined.
"Curveball? Yes! Curveball! Missed swing! Strikeout! Facing Inomi's one-hitter Kamiya, Sato scored the key strikeout!"
This strikeout brought back the morale of Yang Xueyuan that had dropped for a while. When they ran off the field, the players of Yang Xueyuan all had smiles on their faces.
This is what an ace can do to a team!
