The original intention of the diamond ace

In the fifth inning, it was Jingyuan again, this time reporting five bats.

At this time, most people have seen Qing Dao's strategy: it's actually not complicated. In order to save more energy, at the beginning of each round, except for the one with the fastest foot, respect each other indiscriminately. Call in the first hitter, then let the next bat hit a double play.And compared to the offensive four evils, Jingyuan is almost effortless.

The advantage of this strategy is that it can not only save a lot of balls in a game, but also face fewer hitters.But compared to its disadvantages, it is still quite uneconomical. In any case, it allows the opponent to hit the base without any effort.

At this time, there were bursts of discussions in the stands, and many people looked at the stadium with ambiguous eyes.

"Oh~ I didn't expect that someone would choose to fight like this in the game! Qingdao looks down on Ju Moda too much, Ju Moda is probably going to be mad!! This game is also quite interesting, hahaha -"

……

"Although it should be because there are no pitchers in the team that can be rotated, but those who dare to play like this are also quite confident in their skills!"

……

"Speaking of which, is this pitcher really a freshman? Why hasn't he played before?"

"I remember he was in it, maybe it was the second game, right? The innings were not long, and it didn't affect him too much."

……

"...But, but how can they make their opponent play a double kill?"

"Throw some tricky strikes! I have to say, Qingdao, whether it's the pair of pitchers, supervisors, or fielders, how can they be so bold? Once a long hit is hit, the runner can go to third base The risk is too great. Or do they trust this pitcher so much?"

……

On Jumoda's side, the supervisor gritted his teeth, "Hehe! We only got a hit in the last inning, so we dare to come in this inning. But this is also our chance, let's go!! Let them regret their stupidity at this time! "

Six Bats walked up to the strike zone and looked at me coldly.

I blew off the excess powder on my hands and looked calmly, almost arrogantly, at home plate.

After I threw the ball, my pupils shrank and I squatted down immediately.

"Steal the base!"

"Snapped!"

"out!"

"At this time, the runner on the first base unexpectedly chose to steal the base. Unfortunately, the catcher saw through Ju Moda's intention and blocked it in time. One out!"

After that, I settled the next six or seven bats in a steady manner, and exchanged with three outs.

In the second half of the fifth inning, most of Qingdao's hitters were already familiar with the pitcher's pitch, but due to the emptiness of the pitching line, the supervisor hesitated, and decided to let him persevere.But then, Qingdao's hitters seized the opportunity, hit several hits in a row, and finally scored first in the middle of the game.

The supervisor decided to replace the pitcher without hesitation and sent in a second-year pitcher, but this pitcher had just started the semifinals two days ago, and his condition was not very good, and he barely ended the inning without dropping a point.

In the sixth round, Qingdao still chose Jingyuan when facing the eighth or ninth bat.

"Oh! Come on, you arrogant brat—"

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect the finals of Jiashien to be so exciting!"

……

The eight batter kept trying to interfere with us on the base pack, but I just glanced at him and struck out the nine batter.The next stick was still a double play, and this half of the round was over.

In the second half of the inning, the second-year pitcher was still in poor form, but Qingdao still failed to catch his mistakes, and both sides failed to score in this inning.

Seventh inning.

"Oda, let's start this game, the opponent can already keep up with your fastball and changeup."

"OK, all right."

……

Before they had time to feel lost for Qingdou, the audience was surprised by Oda's curve ball again.

"Oh! So he still has such a powerful change ball!"

……

"Which Little League player did this pitcher play in high school? Why hasn't he heard of such a powerful pitcher before?"

……

"No wonder the supervisor of Qingdao dared to let them report the batter, isn't this pitcher pretty good!"

……

In the second half of the round, it was as if he was inspired by the momentum of the defense, and the line exploded, the second point!

Jumoda’s supervisor decisively changed the pitch, and replaced it with the trump card that had just pitched two rounds—Hongo Masamune.

Hongo seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, and he broke out immediately, quickly striking out the hitters below, and the offense and defense were switched.

In the following games, Hongo and Oda seemed to be competing, and their condition was getting better and better. The hitters on both sides failed to break through the opponent's defense.

Finally, at the end of the nine innings, Qingdao won the game 0:2...

The next day, we went back to school by car.

After returning to school, we were not nervous about the intensive schedule, but were surrounded by reports and curious crowds.

'Double kill notice? !Devilish first grade! ! ! '

'Oda Kazu!How many star pitchers does Qingdo have? '

……

"Huh?! Oda! Haven't you been a little too arrogant recently!"

"Almost all of you..."

"It's really enviable! That strategy of yours isn't just trying to show off!!"

...I smiled at them a little embarrassedly, "No, no..." "No..."

There are also more people peeping at me outside the door.

"Which one is Oda?"

"That's the one, the one with the blue eyes!"

"Oh! Is it a foreigner?!"

"I heard it's a mixed race?"

……

We didn't make a fuss for long, because the fall competition was coming soon, and the third grade was about to retire, and the new team hadn't been built yet.Compared with the competition, the supervisor and the coach are busier...

Most of the people have even started to compete secretly. After all, the retirement of the third grade means that 12 people will be selected into the first army!

The days are back to the usual practice...

Supervise the room.

"Then it's decided..." Coach Ochiai narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard.

"Well! There are still many things that need to be adjusted and tried in the future, but the autumn competition is about to start, and I hope to have your help." Director Kataoka bowed to him.

"It's okay, this is what I should do." Ochiai waved his hand casually.

……

Evening, training ground.

"... Takatsu... Kuki... Okumura Misshu, Yui... Seto... Kagami... The above 12 people will be added to the first army. Starting tomorrow, we will start practicing with the first army as the core!"

"Yes!"

A few days later in the morning...

"Let's welcome the new captain to say a few words!" Minister Takashima said happily.

Sawamura walked up to the front with a silly and sweet smile, "Being selected as the captain, I am also very frightened. After that, Xiaosheng will not disappoint everyone's expectations, work hard..."

"Eijun, you still laugh so stupidly." Xiaochun said with a "kind" smile.

"Appeared! Devil Spring!!"

"Yes, yes!" Tojo echoed happily.

"Tojo you!"

"Puff puff!" I secretly laughed.

...and so Eijun finished his speech.

"Next, invite our vice-captain!"

Kanemaru walked to the front a little bit embarrassed, "Well... I'm the vice-captain, uh, not... um, my name is Shinji Kanamaru..."

"Kinmaru! You stutter too much~" Tojo said in a low voice.

"I see! That..." Jinwan's eyes became more and more fierce, "...Well, eating is still very important!... That's it... Thank you!" He walked down a little stiffly.

"Hahaha!" I smiled "whispered".

'Are these seniors really okay? ...' The first grade below suddenly felt a little uneasy.

……

That's it, the new team is built!
