"What was that just now?"
"Double steals after two outs!!!"
"Sure enough, it makes sense to watch this game from afar."
"The Koshien final, the West Tokyo Derby. This is really worthy of the performance of this game."
"Are Tojo and Kuramochi?"
"I didn't expect that in addition to a few star players, Qingdao High School has such powerful players!"
The spectators in the stands, their eyes widened in surprise, their mouths wide open and pouting endlessly.
Of course they had reason to be surprised, and what just happened was indeed enough to surprise them.
"how exciting!"
Akiko Owada, a reporter for Baseball Kingdom Magazine, said with admiration.
Although she couldn't see anything exciting, the performance of Qingdao High School just now made her have the urge to stand up and applaud.
Even if she didn't know much about baseball, she knew that her intuition didn't come out of nowhere.
The two players on the Qingdao High School field should have completed a very remarkable performance.
Fujio, who was beside Akiko Owada, looked as if his eyes were about to pop out.
The so-called layman is watching the fun, and the expert is watching the doorway. The audience, or people who know nothing about baseball like Owada Akiko, just superficially feel that Qingdo High School's performance just now is very good.
People who are really familiar with baseball, the world they see in their eyes, is far from simple.
Just like Fujio.
What he felt in the match just now was a wonderful cooperation.
The chances of holding the original position are actually not large.
If he is determined to attack, it is hard to say whether the players of Daocheng Industrial High School can stop him.
Hirano is not weak, although Kuramochi is already familiar with his pitching.
But if you want to say that Kuramochi can play steadily, he will hit the ball.
But not necessarily.
Even if he can hit the ball steadily, he still needs to hit the iron wall of Daocheng Industrial High School.
The probability of actually being able to hit base safely is about 40% to 50%.
Originally, this probability is not impossible to bet on. After all, there is no batter who can safely say that he will be able to win a hit. It is very rare to have a 40-50% certainty.
But in the case of two outs, this gamble becomes very risky.
And there is another situation that has to be faced.
That is, once Kuramochi fails to get on base, the situation will become quite embarrassing.
Then, before Sawamura Eijun and Miyuki Kazuya entered the strike zone, there must be some vacancies on the base.
Hirano, the backup pitcher of Daocheng Industrial High School, can once again use full-base tactics.
To know.
The ace pitcher of Daocheng Industrial High School, Ming Nagiya, stayed on the field. Even in the previous game, he had been physically exhausted.
But as long as he can still play, he should be able to stand on the mound. The game is now in the second half of the sixth inning.
It survived this core attack.
When it's the next time the core hits the line, Narutomiya will be able to pitch the ball.
In such a situation, Yoichi Kuramochi had to get on base no matter what.
And the difficulties he faces are extremely huge, and it is not so easy to get on base successfully.
Only by considering these, can we understand how good Kuramochi and Tojo have performed just now.
Kuramochi is known for his speed.
For Kuramochi Yoichi's bunts and steals, Daocheng Industrial High School adopted a strictly guarded attitude.
Their first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop.
All adopt different degrees of forward defense.
Surrounding the entire short-swing route was airtight, giving Kuramochi no chance of stealing bases at all.
In this case, Kuramochi seemed to have no choice but to confront the batters at Daocheng Industrial High School.
The players from Daocheng Industrial High School probably thought so too.
So after adopting strict defense, they firmly believed that Kuramochi could only choose to confront them head-on.
Unexpectedly, Kuramochi did the opposite.
Instead of doing that, he took a bunt and stolen base.
However, in the face of the net-like defense, he did not seem to be particularly wise by using the bunt method.
At this time, Tojo's performance becomes crucial.
He wants to be abrupt, in the heavenly net arranged by Daocheng Industrial High School. Help Kuramochi to open a hole.
Only then did he steal bases earlier, and the second baseman of Daocheng Industrial followed back.
Despite this subconscious action, it only delayed for a few tenths of a second.
But it is enough.
Kuramochi took advantage of the tenth of a second time difference and successfully ran to first base.
The situation turned into two outs with a man on first and second base.
Qingdao High School's cooperation in this process is simply amazing.
"This is definitely not something that can be thought of on a whim."
Fujio was very sure of this in his heart.
Only by doing a lot of practice on weekdays can such an amazing performance be completed in the competition.
Moreover, this style of offensive tactics is not the characteristic of Supervisor Kataoka.
The person who came up with this set of strategies should be him, right?
In the rest area, Ochiai stroked his chin and mustache.
That's right, it's me!
Ochiai had a smug smile on his face.
He had already discovered the biggest problem with Qingdao High School's offense right now.
That's how to improve the on-base percentage of No. 1 Kuramachi Yoichi.
As long as Yoichi Kuramochi's on-base rate can be improved, the offensive strength of Qingdo High School will definitely be reborn.
To this end, he did come up with a lot of ways. The attacking routine in front of me is just one of them The second baseman, Kominato Haruichi. "
At this time, the blow of Qingdao High School was the turn of the second best Kominato Haruichi.
He dragged the wooden bat in his hand and walked to the strike zone.
At this moment, his eyes were bright and clear.
No impurities at all.
He raised the bat in his hand high, and stared intently at the plains on the pitcher's mound.
hateful!
As the situation continued to deteriorate, Tadanoki, who was in the position of the catcher, frowned subconsciously.
If they got two outs under the premise that there were people at first and second base, the situation would be favorable for Daocheng Industrial High School.
But the current situation is that with two outs, the people from Qingdao High School went to first and second base.
Now they are very close to their ideal goal.
How to do?
Tadano tree asked himself, but couldn't think of a good way.
At this time, it seems that there is no way out, there is a choice.
Then don't choose!
With a ruthless heart, Tadanoki gave Hirano on the pitcher mound a secret signal.
In the strike area, Kominabharu City seems to have a good idea on the surface.
In fact, he had the same feeling in his heart.
In this game, Hirano-senpai suffered a lot.
And every time he was hit, his performance was very interesting.
In order to be able to find form, his first ball is generally thrown.
Straight ball from the outside corner!
coming! ! !
Just as Kominato Haruichi thought, it was a straight ball from the outside corner.
He stepped out directly and hit the ball with the wooden bat in his hand.
"Ping!"
After the white ball was hit, it flew off the side of the second baseman.
The hits appear!
