Diamond Ace: Qingdao King

Chapter 112 Chapter 41 Pharmacist Battle 16 Last Strike

Chris is Sawamura's tanker, calming him down a bit.In addition, he doesn't have to worry about containment at all, so it's easier to cast.

Chris patted his gloves and signaled that Sawamura had made a good shot, so take your time and don't rush.However, his line of sight crossed the mound covertly and landed on the runner on second base.

The second base runner, Yuta Mishima, is a little far away from the base, trying to steal it?

If it is normal, this possibility is actually not too great.But now that the game is coming to an end, Pharmacist is in a state where no one is out, and it is their best time to attack, so it's okay to fight hard.

So, still have to pay special attention.

Chris aimed for third base again, to see if he needed a reminder.As a result, at this glance, Chen Xin had already secretly moved forward, not to mention, and even moved to third base.

Chris couldn't help but smiled, he was really a worry-free teammate.

In this case, he is in position in many ways. He should have made an arrangement with the pitcher in advance, at least a reminder.But considering that the pitcher is Sawamura... Chris decided not to say anything, because if he said it, it might cause a big problem.

Cough!

But even after this kind of thing, you don't need to tell Sawamura, it's right, it won't blow up.

~
On the other hand, Chen Xin felt extremely surprised. That's what Chris saw just now, right?

Haha!

It would be funny if the pharmacist runner at second base actually chose to steal.

This kind of behavior of predicting stealing bases in advance and preparing to kill the opponent, let alone an amateur, is very, very rare even in the top major leagues.

The stealing of bases in the major leagues is generally in the process of stealing bases and entering the city. Everyone reacts quickly, so it is basically carried out at that time.Coupled with the fact that each other has data, you can generally know what is going on by looking at the data.

But you can predict and prepare in advance. The entire major leagues only die a dozen times a year, and most of them are when first base is stolen and second base is stolen.

looking forward to! !
However, he also felt that Pharmacist's runners tended to steal bases. Although the opponent was not small, it seemed that it had nothing to do with fast legs.

but……

Who says big guys can't steal bases?
In the past, the catcher on their team was still one of the slowest players in the major leagues, and they often stole second base and third base?Although the overall number of times is not compared with that of fast-legged fielders, the success rate is also surprisingly high.

After all, his ability to grasp timing is very outstanding, which completely makes up for the disadvantage of footwork.

What's more, this is a high school level game now. Even if you are really big and haven't experienced long-term knee torture, how slow can you go?

Of course, this is not the reason for an absolute judgment. It is mainly the shoulders and legs of the opponent. Others can be deceiving. In his eyes, some subconscious movements of these fresh and tender wild hands are still invisible to him.

That being said, Chris is really good.

~
Chris gave Sawamura a password here!The four-seam fastball is the most basic for other pitchers.

Even if the opponent's four seams have just been figured out not long ago and are still in various unstable states, there is no way. Sawamura's own ball speed is very slow. If they want to catch, they must consider all points. On top of Sawamura's already slow ball speed, add some weird changing balls to increase the risk.

If Yakushi's runner is allowed to advance to third base, Sawamura will become a time bomb on the field.

With an erratic ball like Sawamura, if his glove leaks, he will directly let the runner come back to score.So second base is almost the last baseline they set.

Can not be broken.

~
Sawamura on the mound didn't know what was going to happen, he just nodded at Chris's dribbling, and was very excited!
Do you actually trust yourself so much? !
Will definitely vote well! !
Sawamura's eyes widened, he took a deep breath, and raised his legs high...

"Snapped!"

The point where the free foot landed is a bit weird, but the body is still softly turned around, and the arm is swung far away~
call out! !

The fingertips jumped out of the white ball, but Sawamura was stunned, no! !Master why did you stand up! !

Was the ball not shot well?
what? !

Of course Chris was up early in the morning, almost at the same time as the second base runner's stealing start.

"Snapped!"

The moment the ball entered the glove, it fell into his hand. The white ball fell to the other hand almost as soon as it entered the glove, and he quickly swung his arm and passed it to the third base!
Chen Xin, who had been prepared for a long time, took a step forward to catch the ball and put it into the glove. With a low touch, he easily tagged Mishima Yuta who had stolen the base.

"OUT!!"

"1 out!" Chen Xinbi gestured and passed the ball back.

As soon as he lowered his head, he met Yuta Mishima's angry eyes.

"Sorry, I have fast legs." Chen Xin said with a smile: "But your ability to catch timing is great. This time, the catcher discovered it early in the morning, haha. It's worth commemorating."

Yuta Mishima: "..."

Who wants your analysis and comfort?

The back of walking away can be said to be very angry!

"Ha!" Chen Xinyuan moved, and touched the gloves with Cang Chi who came over: "Continue to continue."

……

After the cheers in the waiting room, it was not calm. Miyuki hung up the ice pack and looked at the field speechlessly: "!!"

Hey hey hey hey!What about the one you agreed to cooperate with me?
Although it is not containment but stealing bases, it is also very exciting!
Others may not feel that something is wrong, but he is a catcher, and he sees it better than anyone else. The big reason why the stealing base went well this time is that he guessed in advance that the runner of the medicine man would steal the base!

But since it was Sawamura on the mound, it was even more exciting.

Thinking of this and looking at Danbo, I hope he can adjust his mentality as soon as possible.

But now the score is tied, and the game is at the end, Qingdao is actually at a disadvantage.

After all, Yakushi's sequence has just come to the center of 456 bats, and Sawamura is the kind of pitcher with a lot of ups and downs, so the risk is even greater.But Qing Dao's sequence came to the latter part.

At this time, the position of the ninth position is crucial.

Can Kataoka Supervisor's stick arrangement bring Aomori the possibility of being ahead?

Kuramochi's blow today hasn't achieved anything yet, now that it's been two rounds, he should have done something, right?

"boom!!"

"boom!!"

The field is still fighting, but after Tamba's rapid pitching before, suddenly putting on a pitcher like Sawamura, he just created a speed difference for the batters.Coupled with the weird release point and tail strength, the hitters are really difficult to hit. After a few sticks, they made two infield ground balls.

It was an easy end to the half round.

"Oh Si!!"

Sawamura was so excited!he!Sawamura Eijun!Once again stepping on the board in a crisis situation!And it was perfect, solving the opponent.Simply fantastic! !

"Crack!" The teammates who ran over patted him on the back with gloves, or hugged his neck, all of which seemed much gentler than before.

Sawamura was still a little unaccustomed to it, and stared with a vigilant look on his face.

Chris was also amused by him.

There is one thing to say, although Sawamura's character does not seem to be very reliable at ordinary times, but in such a situation, he actually performed very well when boarding the board.

After all, there are bases left by the pitcher in front of him when he comes up, and it's when the opponent's momentum is high after the opponent has just scored.

The tail is still beautiful.

However, the current situation is not easy. He and Sawamura have already done what they have to do, so that the half round ended smoothly, and they did not continue to lose points.Now... the most important thing is how to score the line.

His eyes fell on the field. Although Pharmacist's pitcher looked a little tired, his ball might still be difficult to hit. 789 bats...he'd like two guys to hit base if possible.

As long as Chen Xin can extend the first time to the second one, then Qingdao will be stable! !
This is also his last summer in high school, so of course he wants to get closer!
Koshien! !

……

The imagination is of course very beautiful, but the momentum of the pharmacist is currently strong. Sanada Junpei got on the board early today and lasted until the end. He was not willing to give up at this time. He was in good condition for a while and struck out seven or eight times in succession. Stick, Aomichi, now it’s Kuramochi Yoichi’s turn with the Nine Sticks.

"It's a pity." Chen Xin was lying on the guardrail, with gloves stuffed in her butt pocket, and she didn't feel that the tense atmosphere on the court had any effect.He poked Chris and said, "If I were Supervisor Kataoka, I would have changed to Sawamura first, and you can also type it later, and then replace it if there is a follow-up."

Chris said matter-of-factly, "Unknown."

It is true that he is confident in his strike ability, but he has never fought against Sanada Shunpei, so what he said now is empty.It's just that it's a pity that the eight-stick substitute hitter is right.

Because the one who came up to play is a bench player who has not yet found his form, and it is the first time he has come into contact with a pitcher like Shinpei Shunpei. It is not easy to play well.

"But there's nothing to worry about." Chen Xin said, holding her chin: "Anyway, it's a tie now. Sanada Junpei doesn't seem to be able to hold on for long, and it's useless for us to have two pitchers."

Seeing that he didn't finish his sentence, Chris continued, "And then?"

Chen Xin immediately said proudly: "Of course, the most important thing is because it will be my turn to attack soon. No matter how close it is, I just need to fight back. Even if I can't fight back, I will run back, haha!"

Chris smiled, feeling much more relaxed.That's right. Soon, it will be their turn to take the lead.

~
The dugouts were quiet, not even the pitch.

Kuramochi is the last batter in Aomichi's 9th down. As long as Sanada Junpei eliminates this last one at a discount, the game will return to the restart stage.And they will take the initiative again.

On the contrary, if the hitter hits base, then Pharmacist is about to usher in the most terrifying hitter in the game.

Even if there is still the best Ryosuke Kominato in front of him, the pressure on Sanada Toshihei is extremely huge.After all, his body has reached the load limit, and Ryosuke Kominato is a player who is particularly good at stalking, so it is not easy to solve it.

Now the score is tied, the role of the pitcher is huge, and their pharmacist... the pitcher is poor.

"call!"

Sanada Junhei let out a long breath, looked at the hitter on the left strike zone, and threw the ball.

Do your best!
It's a speedball!A speedball that is slower than the previous two hits!

Kuramochi knows that he should be more cautious at this time!After all, what looks like a fastball might also be a jetball.

But he can't wait, and he doesn't want to wait any longer!

It's a speedball!Just hit it out!It's jetball, it's just one strike behind! !
Now there is still a choice! !

The bat swings out. This is his most determined swing of the day! !In the previous two rounds, you have to adapt and consider the hitters behind, it is really rigid!

Just this once! !

The ball didn't run! !
Kuramochi's eyes widened, it's a speedball!

"state!!"

Hit hard and the ball is pushed in the direction of third base.

Hongleishi reacted quickly, but his gloves were not able to stop the ball, he bounced to the ground, and jumped out quickly.

Kuramochi rushed to the first base as soon as he shot the stick, watched the instructions of the first base runner, stepped on the first base bag with his foot, and quickly turned to the second base.

He has quick feet and good coordination.The over-base bag hardly slowed him down too much. A sliding base, when the ball was passed back to the second baseman, he already stood up with a finger pad.

9 times, two out!Second base!

"Ha!!" Kuramochi gasped slightly, and shook his fist at the rest area!

He's on base!

As long as he can hit the base, with his footsteps, he is the biggest threat on the base pack! !
Kuramo patted his trousers, left the base bag a little bit, and lowered his body, making it clear that he was about to steal the base.

Behind him is Kominato-senpai, haha!Still the same as before! !

Everyone said he was on base and the seniors were pushing.But in fact, having seniors behind him to attract the pitcher's attention also gave him a more directional environment for stealing bases.

Kuramochi has let go of everything now, he glanced at the rest area, and saw that Director Kataoka did not give any additional instructions, so he understood that this meant operating according to the situation at will.

You can steal bases! !
Even if it fails, the next blow will start with Senior Minato, and then Chen Xin!
No problem at all!

If you succeed, at third base, anything is possible!
Kuramo moved two more steps, and suddenly remembered the pitcher's shoulder problem that Chen Xin said before the game!

His gaze involuntarily fell on Sanada Shunhei's shoulder.

Sanada Junhei turned his back to him, he couldn't see clearly what he was doing, and how he communicated with the catcher, but the lines of the shoulders were extremely clear.

What did Chen Xin say at the time?drop, run!Relax and run!Droop, run! !
Kuramochi nodded to Ryosuke Kominato who was on the strike zone. The two of them had been working together for a long time, and Ryosuke Kominato would know at a glance whether they were going to steal a base.

The stick is tight!Act like you're going to be aggressive.

Kuramochi slowed down his breathing, and when Sanada Shunhei's shoulders sagged a little, he put his left foot on the ground, and he rushed out like a cheetah!

Steal a base! !
"Junping!!"

Sanada Junpei knew that someone was stealing the base, but his action was already open, and there was nothing else he could do except throw the ball to the catcher quickly!

"Snapped!"

But the ball was high in the wide open, and the catcher caught the ball and got up and quickly passed it to third base~
"Snapped!"

That's too late!

Kuramochi has climbed to third base!
"Hee-hop!!"

~
Chen Xin jumped up in the rest area, so powerful that she stood on third base by herself!Classmate Cheetah is very powerful now!
