Game 4.
Second half of the round.
With Mikoichi also eliminated by Yokohama’s pitcher.
Lin Tian, as the 7th batter of Qingdao, walked to the batter’s seat again.
While!
Facing the first shot of the Yokohama pitcher, Lin Tian swung the bat without hesitation.
Shout!
From forces above the national level.
Let this ball instantly hit the ground under the third baseman’s crotch.
By the time the third baseman realized that Lin Tian had hit the ball, the baseball had already bounced behind him.
Tread!
Lin Tian casually threw the metal rod aside, and then quickly rushed to first base.
As in previous matches.
Lin Tian’s physical strength was exhausted a lot.
So.
This time, the running speed was not as fast as in the second game.
But the baseball landing point is too tricky!
Even if the third baseman picks up the ball as fast as he can!
But the ball he passed had just flown over the pitcher’s hill, and Lin Tian had already reached first base!
“Wow!”
“This kid is on the base again!”
“And like in the second game, swing the bat when the opponent throws the first shot!”
“The most important thing is that the target position of the hit is really fantastic!”
Auditorium outside the venue.
As Lin Tian hit first base.
In an instant, there were countless more discussions.
If we talk about the audience before.
Just conquered by Lin Tian’s pitch.
Then the current audience’s mind was also conquered by Lin Tian’s blow.
“Lin Tian’s performance is very stable!”
In the Qingdao rest area, Takashima Rei said in surprise.
She originally thought that after Lin Tian consumed a lot of physical strength, in order to save physical strength to pitch, she would give up this blow.
Even if you don’t give up.
It is also impossible to hit the ball accurately in the crotch of the third baseman as in the second game.
However!
The reality is!
Lin Tian’s strike level did not drop in the slightest!
“Coach.”
“At the next game.”
“I think I can move Lin Tian’s rod forward.”
Captain Tetsuya Yuki advised head coach Tetsushin Kataoka.
“I have plans to do that too.”
Kataoka Tiexin had already seen that Lin Tian’s mentality was countless times stronger than Danba’s.
Even if it’s the first time on the field.
I can still perform steadily at the level during training.
This kind of performance.
If you don’t put the stick first.
It was inevitably too wasteful of Lin Tian’s strike ability.
……
On the pitch.
Lin Tian looked at the Yokohama pitcher and looked at himself from time to time, and couldn’t help laughing.
The heart said, “Don’t look at me. ”
“I’m not going to waste my physical strength on stealing the base this round.”
Pitched 4 innings in a row.
And the second game ran at full strength many times.
Even the physical strength at the national level consumes most of it.
So.
Lin Tian’s current physical strength.
It was no longer possible to support him running at full strength.
The decrease in speed means that the success rate of stealing bases will be greatly reduced.
Of course.
Even if it can steal the stronghold.
Lin Tian didn’t plan to steal either.
After all….
If Hakushu and Sakai hadn’t hit the ball, wouldn’t Lin Tian have wasted his strength in vain?
It’s like the second game!
Lin Tian fought hotly, and used all his strength to get a stealing base!
And when he reached third base, he also pinned down the pitcher of Yokohama 5 times!
Result….
Hakushu and Sakai didn’t hit a slightly better rolling earth…
Caused Lin Tian’s previous efforts…
All
blind….
If the physical strength used to steal the base in the second game was saved, Lin Tian felt that he could shoot one or two more rounds.
……
8th stick.
Kenjiro Hakushu strikes.
After some battling with the Yokohama pitchers.
He didn’t even touch the ball and was eliminated.
9th stick.
Ichiro Sakai stepped into the batter’s seat.
And his end.
As in Hakushu.
……
“Fortunately, there was no theft just now.”
“Otherwise, it will be a waste of effort.”
Lin Tian praised his wit in his heart.
……
“Offensive and defensive exchange!”
With the referee’s order.
Lin Tian put on baseball gloves and entered the field with his other teammates.
Then.
Stand on the pitcher’s mound.
Threw 9 extremely fast high-speed straight balls neatly.
Hitters in Yokohama.
There is no way to take this kind of ball.
Every swing of the bat will usher in a falling short.
When the third batter in the 5th game was eliminated, the attack and defense were exchanged again.
And in this round of attack.
Qingdao played well and scored one point again.
2-0！
After that, the sixth inning.
Lin Tian was under the gaze of many spectators.
Give it your all.
Throw fast, high-speed straight balls in a row.
However
After knocking Yokohama’s first hitter strikeout….
Lin Tian found that there was not much strength left in his body…
Thereupon.
He put the baseball in his hand on the ground.
Looked at.
Everyone in Qingdao and the audience were stunned.
“This is?”
“What happened?”
“Why did you suddenly drop the ball?”
When the audience saw Lin Tian’s actions, they were all full of doubts.
“Match suspended!”
Miyukiichi also came to his senses and said something to the referee.
The words fell.
He got up and ran to the pitcher’s hill.
First baseman Tetsuya Yuki, second baseman Ryosuke Kominato and others also ran quickly towards pitcher Mook.
“Lin Tian, what’s wrong with you?”
Miyukiichi asked as soon as he came over.
“Didn’t you say that before?”
“My body is very excited, so even if I have a lot of physical exertion, I can still maintain my previous level of pitching.”
“But…”
“Now it’s cooled down…”
Lin Tian spread out his hands and said the reason bluntly.
“Huh? Cooled down? ”
“Why did it suddenly cool down?”
“Also, how do you know?”
After hearing this, the doubts in his heart increased.
“After people exit the state of ‘self-forgetfulness’.”
“The body will be very tired, which is how I am now, so I naturally notice it.”
“So.”
“Now if I continue to stay on the field, not only will I not be able to play any role, but I will also drag everyone down.”
“In order not to affect the team.”
“I’ll go down and rest first.”
Lin Tian said, and in the surprised eyes of Mikoichiya and the others, he smiled lightly and walked towards the rest area.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a pitcher who voluntarily dropped the pitcher hill…”
Ryosuke Kominato muttered.
“Not to mention the pitcher’s hill, other positions, few starters voluntarily give up.”
Yoichi Kuramori said with some emotion.
“This kid is overmature…”
The pitchers Miyuki has seen in the past, even if they are too tired to pitch anymore, are reluctant to walk down the pitcher’s mound.
But what about Lin Tian?
You don’t need an order from the coach, you go down yourself….
