The first round of the Qingdo High School Spring Competition has begun.
Their opponent is Yongyuan High School, a strong school in East Tokyo.
The two teams meet, and although the strength is not very equal, the audience thinks that there should also be a fierce battle. After all, Yongyuan High School has been very aggressive recently, winning consecutive battles.
The first to attack was Qingdo High School.
"Hip-hop!"
In the first half of the game, Qing Dao was the first to step into the strike zone, of course, was their No. 1 Kuramochi Yoichi.
Kuramochi completed an almost reborn evolution in the previous spring Koshien. With his speed and skills, he has attracted a lot of fans.
Now that he has just stepped into the strike zone, a group of fans immediately shouted his name.
"Kurachi!"
"Scud, it's up to you!"
"Show the strength of Qingdao High School."
This warm atmosphere made the freshmen in the stands envious.
When can they be like these seniors, and they can attract cheers from the audience as soon as they come on stage.
"Even if Kuramochi-senpai is not a top star, did he make such a big splash when he played?"
Hirota looked around and said with emotion.
"The seniors used to dominate the country before. Even if they weren't the core force, their fame followed."
Matsumoto said.
They have experienced this before.
The softball league in middle school was almost contracted by Sawamura Eijun alone. On the surface, it seems like he is a big star.
Every time Akagi Middle School played a game, Sawamura's name was called the most. At the most enthusiastic, he can even shout from the beginning of the game to the end of the game.
But even under such circumstances, the other players were not without a chance to make their mark. The few who performed well also won a small group of fans.
For example, Sawamura Eijun's two partners.
Fengxiang Ouichi and Matsumoto.
They are often mentioned, although most of them are attributed to Sawamura Eijun, but they are mentioned more often, and everyone is gradually familiar with them.
After getting familiar with them, it is natural to compare them with other top catchers in the country.
That's how fame came out.
And Oda, Yamaguchi, Hirota...
As long as they can perform well in the Akagi Middle School baseball team, their names will gradually be remembered.
This is what a good publicity platform can do.
Today's Qingdao High School is undoubtedly the best publicity platform among all high schools.
The nine main starting players even included several famous substitutes.
Ranked in the top 100 high schools in the country.
Of course, the vast majority of them do not have such strength, but if we really want to talk about their popularity, they can rely on the light of Qingdao High School.
Their popularity is among the best in the country.
"I see my blood is boiling!"
Takuma on the side rubbed his hands excitedly.
To say he didn't want to take his place would be an absolute lie.
At this moment, the most real thought in his heart was if he was standing on the strike zone at this moment.
What will happen?
He is very similar in style to Yoichi Kuramochi, even in the same position.
As long as it can show the value of existence, it is not completely impossible to replace it.
This dangerous gaze was keenly detected by Kuramochi on the field.
Although he wasn't sure who it was? But he knew that someone was eyeing his position.
"I'm really underestimated!"
Kuramochi always believed that he should be second only to Sawamura and Miyuki in terms of the firmness of his position in the team.
Unexpectedly, someone was already eyeing his position, and it was his intuition.
Not just one.
"If I don't take out two brushes at this time, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
The opponent in front of him was completely ignored by Kuramochi. What he really feared was his teammates in the stands.
If you are not at Qingdao High School, you will never understand how scary the people chasing behind you are.
In order not to be replaced, we must show better performance and better results.
coming!
Seeing the opponent's pitcher throw the ball out, Kurachi waved the bat in his hand unceremoniously, and slammed the ball out abruptly.
"Ping!"
His previous performance in Jiaziyuan left a deep impression on others. Opponents have been wary of his bunts.
In this case, even Kuramachi didn't find a good bunt opportunity.
Fortunately, he is not only a bunt, he can also strike normally.
Not to mention that he is quite confident in his ability to strike normally.
After the white ball was hit, it flew out.
Kuramochi threw away the bat in his hand and ran frantically towards first base.
He's so fast.
Once he ran with all his strength, the whole person was like a blue light and shadow, and instantly appeared in front of the first base.
At this time, the falling baseball was caught.
I don't know why, but the second baseman stepped back a lot and just caught the ball!
"Out!"
"cut!"
Kuramochi was a little unwilling.
But there is no way the other side's defensive performance is so good.
He is also helpless.
In the rest area of Qingdo High School.
Sawamura and Miyuki, who were about to attack, looked at each other and saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes.
The two most powerful players in Qingdao High School did not mean to underestimate their opponents at all.
"The other party's defense is targeted!"
Miyuki said thoughtfully.
Sawamura nodded affirmatively.
"Obviously, the opposing pitcher was trying to entice the batter to swing."
Koji, who looks very reckless, is very careful when he actually throws the ball.
Pitchers and defenses work well together.
Gives a feeling of invulnerability.
Miyuki and Sawamura are not the only smart people in Qingdo High School.
Kominato Haruichi, who played the second best, also realized this.
The other party is consciously using the fishing ball.
The best way to crack this pitch is to force the ball out.
In this way, even if the opponent's defense is prepared, there is no way to deal with the ball that suddenly deviates.
After having a plan in mind, Kominato Haruichi raised the bat in his hand high, and then held it the longest.
Long fight!
This scene was keenly noticed by the catcher of Yongyuan High School.
Has it been discovered?
Seeing Kominatsu's actions, the catcher of Yongyuan High School shivered subconsciously.
The response was so fast!
Should it be called Qingdo High School?
In the case that the routine is seen through by the opponent, the catcher of Yongyuan High School can only choose to fight hard.
He gave Koji a straight ball!
Although in terms of striking power, Kominato Chunichi's performance is not bad.
But his figure is there, even if he is very strong, where can he be strong?
