The wind is approaching May, with a bit of heat.
Wang Xi on the pitcher mound felt clearer.
Wang Xi himself does not hate challenges. Although the process of challenges is full of various risks, it will also make people progress.
After all, you can't grow towering trees in a greenhouse.
If a good baseball player wants to grow up, in this process, he is bound to meet various challenges.
The reason why Wang Xi did not choose to stay on the treasure island, but set foot on a foreign land, was to challenge his own limits.
Encounter a strong enemy, and then defeat a strong enemy...
He believes that in the process, he will definitely grow more.
At the beginning, he rejected the invitations of other wealthy teams and chose to join Qingdao High School because Qingdao High School was the harshest place for pitchers.
After watching Eijun Sawamura's pitching, he became even more determined to defeat the Great Demon King at Qingdo High School!
Originally, he thought that with his own strength, even if he could not defeat Eijun Sawamura in a short period of time, he won the position of the ace pitcher of Qingdo High School. It shouldn't be a problem to become a rotation pitcher at Qingdo High School first.
In the process, he really didn't take other high school opponents to heart.
His purpose from beginning to end is only one, and that is Sawamura!
Unexpectedly, the strength level of high school baseball in this country is so terrifying.
It's not that he didn't know that Pharmacist High School's current momentum is very scary!
How can it be scary? Could it be that Pharmacist High School is really on a par with professional baseball?
He was able to challenge the profession in the beginning, and an opponent like Pharmacist High School is even more of a problem...
This is Wang Xi's original idea.
With his achievements in middle school, it is not unusual to have such an idea.
World Champion Pitcher!
Players of the same age, the first person.
If he didn't even have this arrogance, Wang Xi felt that he was sorry for his contemporaries.
did not expect……
He raised his head and looked at the sixth bat of Pharmacist High School who was walking on the field.
Wang Xi's eyes were full of complicated expressions.
He had been hit with a home run by Thunder City before, and before he could react, he was hit by Sanada again.
Total score: The situation on the field is two out, the runner is at second base.
Sanada, who was originally good at hitting straight balls, had no intention of using straight **** in the process of hitting just now. He swung the bat on the first ball, and aimed at Wang Xi's changing ball.
Wang Xi's eyes became deep.
At this time, he became more aware of what kind of team the Pharmacist High School was.
Who is the opponent in front of him?
Each of them cannot be underestimated.
In the rest area, Superintendent Kataoka did not give a signal for substitution, which means that for the time being, he still hopes that he can stand up.
A trace of happiness flashed in his heart, and the blood in Wang Xi's heart was galloping endlessly.
challenge! challenge! ! !
Only challenges can he accelerate his growth.
Although the scene in front of him was something that Wang Xi had never expected before, it did not hinder his next steps in the slightest.
Pulling off the stance, Wang Xi decisively threw the white ball in his hand.
Being hit with home runs and hits in a row should be a little bit of a murmur in the heart of a pitcher.
But Wang Xi didn't have it at all.
When he pitched the ball, his movements were smooth, and he could not see any stagnation.
"boom!"
Like a bullet that suddenly shot out of the Desert Eagle, Wang Xi's pitch caught people off guard.
The batter from Pharmacist High School frowned, his face a little hesitant.
However, he still resolutely swung the bat out.
In the words of their supervisor Hong Lei Zang, in this situation, they actually have no choice. As long as you don't want to perish, you can only fight.
There is still a chance to fight!
Once you give up, it's all over.
Hit it out!
"Ping!"
The white ball was touched and flew high.
Ono, who was in the catcher position, stood up and took a few steps forward, and firmly received the ball into his glove.
"Snapped!"
"Out!!!"
This is out, no doubt about it.
Three outs, offense and defense exchange.
After losing two points, Wang Xi managed to hold on to the first game.
Wang Xi, who successfully defended the first game, did not look relieved at all.
The strength of the opponent is beyond his imagination.
The sixth rank of Pharmacist High School, when I summarized the data from Qingdao High School before, I was obviously not impressed.
No impression, that is to say, the strength of the other party should not be particularly outstanding.
But the first time he hit, he hit a bullet ball?
In the rest area of Qingdo High School.
Director Kataoka, who was wearing sunglasses, showed no joy or anger on his face.
Wang Xi, who lost two points, looked guilty.
He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
"Being able to go head-to-head against the opponent with four sticks without fear. That's great!"
Supervisor Kataoka did not reprimand, but instead said.
Wang Xi's eyes widened in surprise.
He thought that the supervisor would definitely be angry. After all, if he wasn't stubborn and avoided the showdown with Thunder City, the result would be very likely...
"Go your own way and don't care what others think."
Kataoka said as if he could see through Wang Xi's heart.
"Supervision!"
Wang Xi was almost moved to tears.
Even his previous coach was not so good to him. Once it is willful, it will also be approved.
Unexpectedly, Director Kataoka is such a person.
"Within three innings, three points. After three innings, if the situation is unfavorable, I may also replace you and be mentally prepared."
Director Kataoka's tone was flat.
Unwilling flashed in Wang Xi's eyes.
He was instinctively reluctant to give up the mound just now. But at the same time, he also knew in his heart the intention of Supervisor Kataoka for this arrangement.
Three points!
This point difference is within the range of Qingdao High School. Once the point difference exceeds, it will be difficult for Qingdao High School to recover.
Apart from that, there is one more thing.
It will take time for Qingdao High School to recover the scores. It doesn't mean that the pharmacist can be defeated when the upper lip touches the lower lip.
Therefore, there is a limit of three games.
"Yes!"
Wang Xi's eyes became firm, and he would never lose another point.
On the lounge chair, Sawamura and Miyuki glanced at each other, and both saw a bit of surprise in each other's eyes.
Pharmacist High School played a routine in today's game.
Supervisor Kataoka was completely calculated by Thunder Zang...
As the most proud disciples under Supervisor Kataoka, of course they knew that Supervisor Kataoka would never give up. But they originally thought that even if Supervisor Kataoka took action, he should have passed a few rounds.
Unexpectedly, Kataoka was already planning a counterattack so quickly.
After two years of Koshien experience, it seems that not only the players in the baseball club of Qingdo High School, but also the director of Kataoka have made great progress.
In baseball, opportunities are fleeting.
If you are not sure about the most suitable time, choose the most suitable tactics.
That's not as good as, at the very beginning, go straight to full fire without giving the opponent any chance to react.
Director Kataoka's current approach is similar to this.
He wasn't sure, picking the best timing and tactics. So he didn't think that way, and didn't have the opportunity to be a pharmacist in the first place.
If it wasn't for that shame, he would have sent all the main force directly.
Of course, that's not a good idea either!
Possibly that was the real sinister intentions of Pharmacist High School.
Let Qing Dao be fully exposed to the spotlight.
You must know that there are not only supporters and fans of the two teams sitting in the auditorium of Jingu Stadium now.
There are other wealthy families who came to investigate intelligence...
Director Kataoka began to prepare for action, and Thunder Zang was not idle in the rest area of Yakushi High School.
"The lead is here, and it's snowballing. Let's expand our advantage, little ones!"
Bang Lei Zang was like a big bandit leader who came down from the mountain, fooling his disciples.
Enjoy the game!
Under Hong Lei Zang's earnest teaching, the players of Yaoshi High School, one by one, seemed to be entangled with Qingdao High School as if they had suddenly gone crazy.
Their garrison is quite dense.
It seems that there is no chance for the Qingdo High School players to bunt at all.
This is the case, of course, because of their opponents.
Kuramochi Yoichi!
In today's game, Qingdao High School's nine main players played five, and Kuramochi was one of them.
Before entering the field, Kuramochi looked at Wang Xi's low expression, and patted his shoulder heavily.
"Boy, don't get discouraged. You just need to think about how to deal with the batter next. As for the score, we'll get it back for you."
If the opponent is Sanada Junpei, Kuramochi really dare not take such a big deal.
Although Sanada's reputation is not as good as Sawamura's, Narutomiya is prominent. But the strength is real.
Even if Kuramochi is no longer what it used to be, he doesn't dare to say things like recovering the score in a big way.
But the opponent is Mishima is different.
Is Mishima the green onion?
If it is compared to hitting strength, Kuramochi may still be a bit jealous of Mishima But when it comes to pitching, he is really unambiguous.
After standing on the strike zone, Kuramochi opened his stance with great interest, posing as a possible bunt.
Even if they knew that Kuramochi was bluffing now, the fielders of Yakushi High School didn't dare to retreat.
What if it was true?
In the event that Kurachi really steals bases, who will be held responsible?
So even if he knew about this guy, he couldn't really bunt, and the fielders of Pharmacist High School didn't dare to relax.
"Ha ha!!"
Mishima on the pitcher mound laughed wildly.
His dream is to be the ace pitcher and fourth-pitcher at Pharmacist High.
Although he is still some distance away from the fourth, he has already become a starting pitcher.
It's a small step forward.
The next step is to replace it, and then drag Thunder City from the four-stick position.
Thinking about this picture in my mind makes me a little excited.
Mishima's eyes became excited, and he pitched the ball very arbitrarily.
"Whoosh!"
Mishima's pitch is like a savage plant that looks jerky, but is very resilient.
It's really not that easy to get out.
Even if the batter is Kuramachi, it won't work.
"There are two brushes!"
In this regard, the warehouse is also very recognized.
The opponent's pitching is indeed very threatening. If it was before, it would not be easy for him to hit it.
but now.
"In the past period of time, I didn't stand still!"
During the winter break, I can't play games, I can only do various exercises.
Previously, Kuramochi also felt very boring.
But last year, he didn't feel that way.
No matter how boring, it is the last year.
He cherishes every day so much...
It's hard work, and now it's harvest time.
