v2 Chapter 37： : 5th inning

The most important position on a baseball team is the pitcher.

How much influence does a pitcher have on a team?

To give the simplest example, if the strength of this team is weak, then the weight of pitchers in this team is equivalent to 70-80% of the entire team.

It's like Eijun Sawamura was in the Akagi Junior High School baseball team before.

The Akagi Middle School baseball team has also dominated the country twice. If there is only one time, it can naturally be attributed to fluke.

This is not a problem.

But it was able to dominate the country twice, and the Akagi Middle School baseball team was a fluke to achieve such a great achievement.

Not so appropriate!

The first time to dominate the country can be put aside, the second time the Akagi Middle School baseball team dominates the country, its own strength must account for a large proportion.

But if you compare the strength of Akagi Junior High School Baseball to all the players combined with other teams. You will find that the baseball team of Chicheng Middle School is far less powerful than other teams. At that time, there were more than 6,000 middle schools in the country.

In so many schools, the strength of the Akagi Middle School baseball team may not even be ranked in the top 100.

Then why did the Akagi Middle School baseball team dominate the country in the end?

The reason is actually very simple, because their ace pitcher is Sawamura Eijun.

Because of the leadership of the ace of Sawamura Eijun, the overall strength of the Akagi Middle School baseball team has been raised to about 80% of the level of Sawamura Eijun himself.

That's why they were able to achieve that!

So they can dominate the country for the second time.

Friends who are familiar with baseball actually understand this truth.

A good pitcher can definitely change the strength of a team.

Even in a strong team, such as a giant like Qingdao High School.

The importance of pitchers cannot be ignored.

Long before Sawamura Eijun joined the Qingdo High School baseball team, in fact, the Qingdo High School baseball team had also trained many talented and potential players.

But in the end, they still didn't score in Koshien for several years in a row.

Why is this?

A very simple reason is because in the past few years, the Qingdao High School baseball team has not encountered a good pitcher who can really be called an ace.

So even in such a giant team, the importance of a good pitcher can account for 50-60% of the entire team.

Sometimes even more!

The strength of the baseball teams of Fujioka High School and Qingdo High School is naturally incomparable.

But since their ace Dahe reinvigorated, Fuqiu High School has been clinging to Qingdo High School.

He didn't give Qingdo High School a chance to react at all.

The score between the two sides remained at five points and did not open.

This continued until the second half of the third inning.

The Qingdo High School baseball team attacked, and their fourth baseball team, Miyuki Kazuya, was the first to stand in the strike zone.

At this time, the big river on the pitcher mound looked like a rainbow.

Since he lost five points in the first game, the guy is completely happy.

He has put down all the burdens in his heart and threw himself into the game wholeheartedly.

It can't go on like this!

After Miyuki stood on the strike zone, he thought to himself.

He was very clear in his heart that Qingdao High School baseball's requirements for this game were not just to win.

Not just to win, but to win beautifully.

In the first round of the game, although the Qingdao High School baseball team won in the end, it was not good-looking.

Carrying the title of king, the team's performance was not domineering at all.

Although the media touted it as always, there was no lack of ridicule in the words.

Thinking of the opponents, there are also many people who are gloating. They may have begun to **** with the spiritual victory method, and the Qingdao High School baseball team has burned to the point of running out of fuel.

When they play against Qingdao High School, they might be able to win easily.

This kind of thinking is very dangerous!

After all, high school students are still a group of minors. Since they are a group of minors, the game will be greatly affected by emotions.

It is not impossible to play smoothly and show 120% of the strength.

To avoid this situation, the Qingdo High School baseball team must tell everyone with a clean victory.

The king's green road is the king's green road!

Their strength is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

They want the name of Qingdao High School to hang over their heads like a sharp sword!

"Ping!"

As the captain of the team, Miyuki accomplished his task very well.

He hit the flying baseball neatly.

After hitting the ball, he also showed a smile at his opponent at Fuqiu High School.

The opponent's pitching route was almost identical to what he had guessed.

This feeling is very good, completely see through the opponent's feeling.

"Safety!"

The baseball landed in the field of defense, and Miyuki ran to second base in one breath.

The situation became no one out, and there was a man at second base.

The opportunity to score just appeared!

Director Kataoka in the rest area gave a secret signal to Mae Sono who was ready to strike.

After receiving the code, Maeyuan decisively took a bunt stance.

His performance like this is undoubtedly a ruthless victory over the opponent's army.

The players of Fuqiu High School had to make changes, and the players began to move forward.

The goal of Qingdao High School seems to be obvious.

They should have planned to use the sacrificial method to send Miyuki to third base first.

These guys on the Qingdao High School baseball team played this hand very well.

Supervisor Kataoka even specifically mentioned the offensive concept of the Qingdo High School baseball team in an interview with the media.

Their philosophy is fairly simple.

"We prefer to get the points we can get before we get the hits that we're not sure about."

As the so-called pocket is safe.

Only when this score is obtained can you prove that this score is yours.

Otherwise, even if you are full at 123 bases, the score on the field will not change in the slightest.

Supervisor Kataoka's remarks have been regarded as a golden rule by many strong teams.

The biggest fear in baseball is greed.

How many points have to be won in one go!

Once you have this kind of mentality, it is easy to become a bear breaking sticks, breaking one and throwing another.

In the end, it may even become an empty pig's basket...

Once you understand the opponent's attack concept, the opponent's next actions will naturally be easier to guess.

Fuqiu High School was ready, but did not want the players of the Qingdo High School baseball team to act according to the script they arranged.

"Ping!"

The front garden of the fifth bat, very decisively, took back the bat in his hand, and then swung the bat out.

Cheat and beat and run!

Because the former headmaster had such a loyal face, the players of Fuqiu High School had never thought about it...

How could he play such a trick?

Without the slightest bit of precaution, he was given a routine by Qianyuan.

The baseball landed, and the front garden went very smoothly to first base.

There's not much to say about this, and even for the Qingdao High School baseball team, it could even be counted as a surprise.

This time their main intention was not the front garden.

It was Miyuki, who was originally at second base.

After the baseball was played, Miyuki had already judged it based on where the baseball fell.

This ball has it!

Almost at the same time as this thought appeared, Miyuki rushed out and rushed directly to the third base.

When he was about to reach third base, he saw Ono, the running instructor on the side of third base, giving him a signal.

Keep going! Keep going!

Miyuki didn't look back, but he could guess.

Something so interesting must have happened behind him that the fielding fielder didn't even have time to pass the ball back.

it is good!

Miyuki shouted in his heart, and he crossed the third base without stopping and headed straight for home plate.

The outfielder from Fuqiu High School also picked up the ball at this time and hurriedly passed the home plate.

In an attempt to get their catcher to kill Miyuki.

But where can it be?

Miyuki's whole person is like a wild beast, and he is approaching home plate at this time.

Seeing the opponent's catcher come out, he also changed his direction non-stop.

"Safety!"

The training of the Qingdao high school baseball team is very comprehensive and thorough.

What kind of situation do you face? What should players do? The same plot, they have no idea how many times they have practiced

It is absolutely invincible when used at critical moments.

In this way, the Qingdo High School baseball team scored the sixth point!

Regrettably, it was only the sixth point.

After that, Xiao Gu, who came on the court, played a double play.

The pitcher Dahe, who just dropped a point, was not affected.

After dropping points, the pitch was still very calm.

Very beautiful calculation of Akatsuki Fukugu.

You must know that this is not an easy task, and Akatsuki Fukugu swings with all his strength for any ball.

If one fails, it is not impossible that the ball is directly swept out by Xiao Gu Xiao with brute force.

Fortunately, he succeeded, not only solved Xiaogu Xiao, but also scored two outs.

After two outs, Tojo hit the ball and was picked up by the second baseman at Tomioka Middle School.

Three outs, offense and defense exchange.

So the game came to the fourth inning.

Wang Xi, who has completely unlocked the bullet ball, is as magical as ever.

He was very nice with three outs and gave no hope to the Fuqiu High School players.

In the rest area of ​​Qingdo High School.

The coaching staff also spoke highly of Wang Xi's performance.

"It's a little too much for bullet balls!"

"This also means that classmate Wang Xi has a very clear understanding of what is going on with him..."

Director Kataoka said with praise.

It was because Wang Xi knew exactly what was going on with him that he made such a pragmatic choice.

Absolutely not bluffing, nor in the slightest sloppy.

In this way, use your best ball path to solve the opponent.

If the Qingdao High School baseball team only had a pitcher like Wang Xi, he would never have done this.

Always need to leave a little trump card, to deal with other opponents.

Obviously, the Qingdao High School baseball team is not the only pitcher Wang Xi.

Therefore, Wang Xi is naturally much more relaxed. He can show his strength at will to solve his opponent.

He can't hold it, or his pitch is broken.

It doesn't matter either.

In Qingdao High School, there are several people who can replace him.

In the second half of the fourth game, Qingdao High School attacked.

Including Kurochi was all solved by the ace throwing the big river.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team really didn't realize it before. I didn't expect that the ace pitcher of Fuqiu High School, Dahe, was actually a slow-heat pitcher.

Once the game dragged on, his state slowly came out.

Now even the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, it is not an easy thing to solve him.

So the game came to the fifth inning.

Whether the Qingdao High School baseball team can effectively play five innings in advance depends on how many points they can score in this inning?

This is of course a very important thing for the Qingdao High School baseball team.

It's just that no one thought that at the beginning, their opponents gave them a blow to the head.
