In the quarter-finals of Koshien in summer, Nishitokyo Qingdo High School played against Xinglong High School in Nagano Prefecture.
At the end of the fourth inning, the score was 2:0, and Qingdao High School took the lead.
In the first half of the fifth inning, Xinglong University attacked.
In the rest area of Xinglong University.
Feng Xiang Long Yi looked at Qi Hai Yao seriously for several seconds before his face relaxed.
"It's up to you, four sticks!"
"it is good!"
Some people feel overwhelmed when they are under pressure, while others perform better when they are under pressure.
Nanami Haruka belongs to the latter.
An ace and four sticks, such an identity brings only motivation to Nanami Haruka.
Walking into the strike zone, looking at the pitcher on the pitcher mound, Nanami Haruka's mouth shreds.
"The deviation value is really high!"
Originally, they only locked their opponent on Sawamura Eijun, and once Sawamura Eijun played, he would not be replaced soon. The reason is very simple, Xinglong University is sure not to let Qingdao High School pull the score.
As long as the score can't be opened, Sawamura Eijun can't easily end.
Just like now, if Sawamura is on the mound, the lead of Qingdo High School will not be extended. If the score was 2:0, Director Kataoka would not dare to rashly replace Eijun Sawamura.
But they made a mistake, that is, Qingdao High School dared to let the bench pitcher start in the quarterfinals.
As a result, Xinglong University was caught off guard!
They didn't do any reconnaissance on Qingdao High School's backup pitcher at all. Of course, this wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that the pitcher from Qingdao High School was surprisingly powerful.
"I can't let you continue to be arrogant like this. If you want to win, you must pull Sawamura Eijun off as soon as possible."
Nanami Haruka looked up at Sawamura in the outfield.
Sawamura, who was a few dozen meters away, seemed to sense Nanami Haruka's gaze, and gave him a big smile.
The current situation, for Xinglong University, is developing in the worst direction.
If they can't get rid of Danbo as soon as possible, the people of Xinglong High School will definitely think that they can't even deal with the backup pitcher, let alone the real ace Sawamura Eijun.
Such thinking is very dangerous.
It's easy to destroy players' confidence.
In order to prevent this from happening, Nanami Haruka must also behave.
The bat in his hand was raised, his eyes fixed on the mound without blinking, his stride was standard, neither forward nor backward, neither left nor right.
A quiet aura erupted from Qi Haiyao's body.
In the position of the catcher, Chris glanced at Nanami Haruka cautiously, and then gave Tanba Koichiro a secret signal.
"You should feel it, the hitter in front of you is different from the opponent we met before."
Um!
On the mound, Danbo nodded.
"Go all out and get rid of him!"
The first ball: the cross ball!
Since he learned to cross the ball, this new variation ball mixed with straight **** has replaced Tanba Koichiro's previous high drop and became his new decisive ball.
And Chris gave Tanba Koichiro the secret code, the first goal is the deciding goal.
Faced with this extremely challenging code, Tanba Koichiro nodded with little hesitation.
He believed in Chris's play, and he believed it.
As long as he can get the ball out of the way as Chris wants, it's sure to take out batters in the strike zone.
And it doesn't matter who the hitter is, it's the same!
The high-raised leg suddenly fell, and at the same time, the baseball in his hand roared out.
"Whoosh!"
Like a sharp arrow, the white ball suddenly appeared above the home plate.
On the strike zone, Nanami Haruka looked at the ball flying in front of him without swinging.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
Nanami Haruka's reaction was a bit beyond Chris's expectations. Judging from the feeling Nanami Haruka gave people before, it seemed that no matter what kind of ball Tanba Koichiro threw, he would definitely swing the bat.
But just now Nanami Haruka didn't make any movement...
Even if Chris has the ability to read people's minds, he can't read minds. His so-called ability to see through opponents needs to be based on the opponent's actions and small habits to judge the opponent's intentions.
But Nanami Haruka didn't do anything at all, whether it was his position or movement.
In this case, even Chris can't get more information from these things.
He now has only two points of information.
The first point is that the original attack strategy formulated by Xinglong College should be aimed at the sweet straight **** that Danbo occasionally appeared.
The second point is that Nanami Haruka was aiming, maybe not the cross ball.
Based on these two points alone, the information on Qi Hai Haruka's attack strategy is incomplete.
He needs more information!
With a plan in mind, Chris gave a secret signal to Tanba Koichiro on the pitcher mound.
With a high drop curve, it doesn't matter if you throw a bad ball, the important thing is to force the batter to do something.
On the mound, Danbo nodded.
Then he stepped and threw the baseball in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The white ball whizzed out.
This ball, in the eyes of others, is very sharp The baseball just flew straight at Nanami!
The onlookers could not help but break into a cold sweat.
On the strike zone, in Nanami Haruka's eyes, the previous picture had a different feeling.
In his eyes, Tanba Koichiro's pitching was as if the scene of the movie was suddenly slowed down.
Even the baseballs he throws are extremely slow.
So slow, really slow!
Slow enough that he could clearly see the spin of the baseball.
This feeling is very magical, every change in baseball is like a fixed film.
coming!
Finally, the extremely slow white ball flew over.
Then fall!
Move from the inner corner to the outer corner, falling from top to bottom.
It's like a naughty child who draws a line diagonally.
To stop this, you have to find the intersection of the swing and the diagonal line.
For Nanami Haruka, who is now in slow motion, this is not difficult.
"Buzz!"
The low sound of swinging the club swept through everything around.
The screen returns to normal.
The white ball that fell at a high speed was hit hard and swept away.
"Ping!"
Accompanied by a crisp and pleasant collision sound.
The small white ball was hit, then flew high, and finally flew all the way and flew out of the court.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"
In the stands of Jiaziyuan, all the audience were boiling, no matter if they supported Qingdao High School or Xinglong High School.
They were all excited.
How can a home run be missing on the field of Koshien?
From the beginning of the game, they had been looking forward to this moment, but they did not expect this moment to come so suddenly.
Well, it's not too late!
The score is 2:1!
