Curse Shirou

The crisp sound of hitting the ball sounded on the court, and the first ball thrown by the Mariners, with a cautious and a little weak momentum, lobbed high to the boundary fence of the right field.

The opponent's catcher was still in shock. He didn't expect that the rookie would dare to swing the bat on the first ball, and he could hit the tricky inside corner straight ball.

The pitcher Kira was also shocked, but he is a professional baseball player. When he couldn't see whether the ball was out of bounds, his first reaction was to participate in the field first to prevent the opponent from rushing to two bases in a row.

"This ball... landed in bounds! Not out of bounds! Mariners right fielder Inoue picked up the ball and passed it back, no, it was too late! The runner's footsteps are fast, and he has already passed first base. This is going to go straight Second base?!"

Chanyuan Shier ran past first base at a uniform speed that he had trained before, and when he saw the opponent's defender picked up the ball, he immediately felt that he could go to second base.

However, his "uniform speed" is already a national sprint record for normal people. The first baseman only felt a gust of wind passing by, and shouted a reminder in a daze:

"Watch out! He's aiming for second base!—"

"Can the Mariners hold? The BlueMars runner reaches second base! The referee's decision is—"

"Safe!"

The referee at second base waved his hands flat to indicate that it is valid to go on base.

"Cut, damn it!"

The opposing second baseman reluctantly picked up the glove. He had already caught the ball at the first time, but this guy approached too fast, and in the end he was one step too late.

"There is someone on the second base with no outs! In the opening game, BlueMars hit a bat and left fielder Zenin Shier, and he played a tight attack! Next came the BlueMars second batman Yuichiro Tanaka, a 178cm tall right hitter, and his batting average this season...Tanaka Can you grab the first point for BlueMars—"

Don't grab it, idiot.

There's no money in being sent home normally.

Chanyuan Shier stands a little outside the second base with his arms folded. As long as he is not too far away from the base, this is considered a normal position. He can run at any time, and he can return to the plate at any time without being pinned out by the pitcher.

But it was only 3 minutes into the game, and no one would have guessed that this guy was crazy enough to steal third base.

In a baseball game, the second base is the least difficult to steal, because the second base is on the diagonal of the home base. After the catcher catches the ball, he must pass it to the opposite corner of the rhombus, so that the fielder can catch it, which virtually increases the number of passes. ball time and fielding difficulty.

The risk of stealing third base is greater, because the third base is on the straight line to the right of home plate, the distance is very close, and there is no cover from the pitcher's mound, so the stealing operation can be easily spotted.

Once it is not done well, it is tantamount to suicide, and a score point is lost in vain.

Compared with stealing third base, the current baseball world is more accustomed to relying on slugging. As long as the batter hits a long slugging outfield, the runner on second base can also return to home plate in time to score.

As for home plate stealing, it is almost unheard of in the game, because the base stealer has to start running the moment the pitcher throws the ball. Under normal circumstances, the third base runner will catch the ball as soon as he runs off the base. tantamount to suicide.

And returning to third base may be passed by the catcher to third base, and the third baseman may be tagged out. Therefore, the failure rate of stealing home base is extremely high. After all, it is impossible for people to run past the pass.

Kira, who was on the mound, did not expect that the opponent would choose to steal a base directly when there was no out and someone on second base.

In addition, as mentioned before, the second base is directly behind the pitcher's mound, and he was unprepared, and he had already sprinted to third base as soon as he pitched the ball.

Zenyuan Shier ran together, and even Yuichiro Tanaka, who was second best, was taken aback. He didn't see the coach send a secret signal just now!

On the field, the Mariners' fielders keep an eye on the batter, and the third baseman and first baseman stand forward, so that the contraction can deal with the infield ball in time, but the disadvantage is that they can't guard against the steal runner faster.

Therefore, when the catcher's face changed drastically, and he shouted for third base and passed the ball, the third base guard realized something. He turned his head and saw the man who was about to hit the base with five meters left.

Facing the third baseman whose face turned livid, Zenyuan Shier was not polite, and slid his left leg straight to the base.

Although the third baseman received the ball, he was still two steps away from the base bag, and it was too late to stop the sliding base, so he could only watch the opponent successfully steal the base.

"Get on base—"

The referee raised his hands flat, establishing the ending of the three thieves.

"Unbelievable! BlueMars actually chose to steal third base at this time, and they succeeded!"

The commentator didn't even need to brew his emotions, he just got excited.

"It's a no-out third base! The balls are good and bad, and the pressure is on the Mariners! The BlueMars one-bat runner is very fast, and now he only needs a long hit or a bunt, and he can go straight. Take home plate!"

"Well done, Zen Garden!"

"Take the point, Tanaka! Give me the ball hard!"

The cheers of the players came from the BlueMars rest area, and Director Takagi also made a signal, indicating that Tanaka would take a point first anyway.

The second pitcher Tanaka nodded slightly to express his understanding. On the opposite side of him, Kira did not expect the crisis to come so soon, but after all, he was a 27-year-old seasoned pitcher, so he was not so easily shaken.

Now that the bat runner has reached third base, it is impossible for him to steal home plate again, and instead he can concentrate on batting the other batter.

As long as the hitter can be struck out, no matter how fast the opponent runs, it is useless!

Kira's eyes became sharper. This time, his pitch was even stronger than before. He smashed the batter's plan with two crossed balls. Adding in the strike pitch when the opponent stole the base just now, it happened to be three strikes. Directly knocked out the opponent with two strikeouts.

Yuichiro Tanaka had no choice but to end, and then it was BlueMars' third turn, Haruyota Haru, who carried the number 06, played.

There is usually no time limit in baseball games. Each half inning is based on the number of outs of the offensive side. As long as the offensive side has three batters out, the half inning is considered over, and then the two sides switch offense and defense.

After Tanaka was struck out, the game came to the top half of the first inning. With an out, there was a man on third base, and Kazuharu Yota entered the batting zone and waited.

Pitcher Kira was also ready, but just as he was about to pitch, as if to provoke him, Zenyuan Shier left third base, not hiding his intention to steal home run.

What are you kidding...

Nobumitsu Kira had bulging veins on his forehead, trying to ignore this guy, but it was only interfering with his handling of the third stick anyway.

However, as a right-hander, he pitched sideways facing third base, so Zenyuan Shier was far away from third base, which was basically tantamount to playing tricks under his nose.

This guy!

In the end, Kira couldn't hold back and threw a third base pinch ball.

But Zenyuan Shier's outburst was too fast. Within a second of passing the ball, he quickly stepped on the plate, and the third baseman had no time to catch the ball, and the containment was completely useless.

"Hey, the number 6 with the stick is waiting for you to pitch, don't keep staring at me, Mustache."

Zenyuan Shier said to Ji Liang with a bad face, and successfully offended both friends and enemies.

"Small, mustache?!"

On the beater's seat, Jiuchun also jumped angrily:

"'That' No. 6?...Damn it, you scarred mouth! Haven't you remembered my name yet?!"

The author has something to say:

I recommend "Diamond Ace", which is not the same as "Game of Thrones". It is a particularly passionate baseball animation. It is also the first animation I have ever seen where the heroine is a tire. Haha, and senior Chris is really handsome
