Chapter 23
Qingdao Rest Area.
When Lin Tian came back.
The coach also asked why he came down suddenly.
To this.
Lin Tian gave the same explanation.
When the coach and the others listened, they looked at Lin Tian’s gaze, full of disbelief.
Played baseball for so long.
It was the first time they had seen a pitcher take the initiative.
And Kataoka Tetsushin, who served as an ace pitcher when he was a student, was shocked even more than others!
He remembers clearly!
At the beginning, once he climbed the pitcher’s hill, he said that he didn’t want to come down!
“……”
Kataoka Tetsushin opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
But he was too shocked to think of what to say for a while.
And.
How much physical strength Lin Tian has.
Kataoka Tetsushin is ‘very clear’.
In his opinion.
At the end of the 4th game.
Lin Tian’s physical strength should be exhausted.
It’s just that Lin Tian said that his body was very excited and could play for a long time, so Kataoka did not replace Lin Tian.
So.
Now I heard Lin Tian say that he was out of state.
Rationally speaking, Kataoka also knew that it was not suitable to stay on the field.
But…
Lin Tianxia is also too decisive…
If you change to someone else.
Even if he was hit a home run because of lack of physical strength.
Although I feel guilty, I definitely don’t want to walk down the pitcher’s mound.
It can be said.
Lin Tian took the initiative to withdraw.
Directly to Kataoka Tetsushin will not work.
But.
The game continues.
This kind of bizarre thing, just leave it to digest slowly after the game.
As for now.
Of course, the instruction to give substitutions.
After all.
Lin Tian had no physical strength.
Kataoka couldn’t force him to play.
No more.
As a coach.
He also can’t keep a pitcher without physical strength on the court.
……
“First half of the sixth inning!”
“Qingdao High School changes pitchers!”
“In place of Lin Tian, it is the pitcher Drop Valley!”
Not long after, the on-site broadcast came the news of Qingdao’s replacement.
“Drop Gu Xiao?”
“Isn’t he a first grade?”
“Obviously Lin Tian has been strikeouting opponents, why should he change people?”
“Is Qingdao’s coach having a brain problem?”
“……”
The audience continued to question it.
All kinds of filthy words keep coming out.
“Coach, I’m sorry to let you be misunderstood.”
Lin Tian sat in the rest area, listening to the vulgar scolding sounds around him, and said a little apologetically.
“It’s okay.”
Kataoka replied lightly.
When he was a student, when he first climbed the pitcher’s hill, he was also questioned many times by countless people.
I have already practiced the ability to ‘automatically block scolding’.
……
On the pitch.
Sunset has already walked to the pitcher’s mound.
Then.
Started his solo show.
“Phew!”
Xie Guxiao blew his fingers lightly, and calmly assumed a pitching posture.
Then.
With all your strength.
Throw the ball in his hand at the catcher Miyuki Kazuya.
Boom!
With the sound of a baseball hitting a glove, the scene instantly became quiet.
The audience who just questioned the coach/Xianggu Xiao.
Only to feel that in the void, it was as if someone had slapped them hard.
……
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In the middle of the vast course.
From time to time, there was a heavy noise.
It was the sound of Akira Hitani’s high-speed straight ball hitting Mikoichiya Miko’s gloves.
And every high-speed straight ball appears.
will put a lot of pressure on the batter.
So that those batters almost subconsciously swung the bat.
But…
They couldn’t hit again….
So!
Although the balls thrown by Xie Guxiao are all on the high side, as long as they don’t swing the bat, they are real rounds…
But because Yokohama’s batters all swung their bats, a bad ball turned into a good one!
And the behavior of these batters!
It also let them taste the grievance of being strikeouts from Gu Xiao’s body again!
“Oh my God!”
“Strikeouts and eight strikeouts in a row?!”
“No… Incredible! ”
“Another incredible monster has appeared in Qingdao!”
“I originally wanted to say that that kind of super fast high-speed straight ball is very physically exhausting, Lin Tian can’t hold out until the ninth game, but I didn’t expect that this Guxiao could actually throw such a fast ball!”
“It’s the ninth inning, can you continue to maintain strikeouts?”
“I don’t know if it’s my illusion, although this Falling Guxiao’s pitch is also fast, but his ball seems to have all deviated from the good ball area?”
The appearance of Sunset Dawn.
The audience seats were detonated again.
Countless people were discussing around Guxiao.
Of course.
Some people also began to compare Guxiao and Lin Tian.
And then.
People who have been fanned by the valley Xiao circle.
and people who were fanned by Lin Tianhuan.
Because they all think that the object they support is the strongest in the team, they quarrel.
……
“Hmm.”
“Although Guxiao can’t put most of the ball into the good ball area like Lin Tian.”
“But that’s about the results.”
“It’s similar to Lin Tian.”
“Since I came on the court until now, it’s all strikeouts.”
“Both of them are so good that they can’t tell that they are in the first grade…”
At the outermost periphery of the audience, after analyzing a wave of reason, endless sighs emerged in his heart.
“@%……”
Seeing the performance of the valley is so perfect.
Listen to the praise of the surrounding audience and Kominato Haruichi.
Sawamura’s face became a little hideous because of envy.
……
Meanwhile.
Falling valley on the field.
The final round of pitching begins.
High-speed straight ball after struck.
Let the opponent grit his teeth and want to hit, but the bat and ball, every time is passed by.
Boom!
The last ball thrown by Sho Shimitani also dodged the batter and flew into Mikoichiya Miko’s gloves!
“The hitter is out!”
“Game over!”
The referee immediately shouted.
The second half of the ninth inning was a Seido offense.
But on the scoreboard at this time, it was Qingdao who was ahead.
So.
Follow the rules.
The second half of the ninth inning does not need to be held, and Seido can be declared the winner directly.
“Hey! Did you record the game just now? ”
“You have to be careful with Qingdao this year.”
“It seems that after going back, I will have to repeat this game a few more times.”
The scouts of the major colleges and universities left the stadium with a full harvest.
……
On the pitch.
Yoichi Kuramori happily jumped on Sunset Xiao’s body: “Ahhahaha, you guy voted well!” ”
Ryosuke Kominato who came over couldn’t help but praise: “It’s beautiful!” ”
Since joining Seido.
It was the first time he had experienced a game he could win so easily.
Lounge area.
Kataoka Tetsushin showed a smile for a long time.
You can see it.
He is also very happy to keep a clean sheet against Kanagawa’s famous baseball goal.
“But…”
“After this game…”
“Lin Tian and Xianggu will be thoroughly studied by other schools!”
“Lin Tian is okay, his ball control has been trained to a very good level after so long training.”
“Today’s pitch.”
“Most of it went into the good ball zone.”
“But the valley doesn’t work, every ball is a bad zone.”
“That’s why the opponent doesn’t know how to get so many strikeouts.”
“If known by the opponent.”
“Then it will be difficult to eliminate the opponent with a straight ball from Gu Xiao.”
“There is still some time before the summer conference, so we have to let the valley focus on improving possession.”
