It's not that Shimoto Yuan has never encountered opponents who are good at fighting. After all, the woods are big and there are all kinds of birds. Some people are just good at disgusting pitchers. But he can swear that he has been playing baseball for more than ten years and this is the first time he has seen them.
It's so disgusting that Hideji Kitahara is so stable - Hideji Kitahara is as stable as a machine, and it feels like he can hit the ball until the sea is shattered and the earth is shattered, but Shimofuji Haru doesn't dare to throw the ball that is too hit, so he can only go all out.
Now the opponent only wants to hit the ball and nothing else, but if you feed the opponent a comfortable ball, you can't guarantee that the opponent will change his mind and want to score points - the opponent hit a home run on the first pitch of the first inning.
Hit, Teng Yuan couldn't accept it at all.
This situation is very common in games. Sometimes the two sides are forced to enter a fighting state. The batter does not like the pitcher's ball path, feels that it is difficult to hit or cannot meet the tactical requirements, and is not willing to leave the field easily.
He will start to make destructive blows, and then he will start to play serious long shots until the ball he wants appears.
However, it was not an option to continue fighting like this. Shimofujihara wanted to walk Hideji Kitahara, but it felt like a loss to walk him after the fight had been going on for so long.
After taking a deep breath, he became serious, secretly exchanged opinions with the catcher, turned his back and changed the grip of the ball in his hand - or shouldn't it be called a grip, he only used his thumb and little finger to hold the ball.
, the remaining three fingers are placed under the ball, and then wait for the catcher to be ready.
The catcher also felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He squatted there with his butt slightly raised, and leaned forward as much as possible within the limits allowed by the rules - this was the first pitch of the first inning, was he about to be forced to use a trick?
Their previous tactical arrangements mainly involved the offensive aspect, and they studied how to deal with the "Koshien Monster" Kitahara Shuji, but it was not aimed at his hitting, but his weird fast straight ball pitching, but they never expected it.
Before it's my turn to attack, I've already been beaten by this monster to the point where I can no longer take care of myself.
Is it so miserable to live in the same era as a genius?
A trick is needed!
Hideji Kitahara is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time - his battlefield was a real battlefield, and he was very sharp. He immediately felt that the aura of his opponent was slightly different, and he immediately became more vigilant. As expected, Shimofujihara was pitching.
Qiu Shang fired his big move - he changed the posture of swinging his arms hard just now. Although he still moved his arms quickly, it gave people a light and airy feeling. Finally, at the moment when his arms were fully extended, he suddenly flicked the ball with his fingers.
Got out.
This is the "butterfly ball" that Shitohara spent a year practicing hard. It is also called a finger-flicking ball. It is called a finger-flicking ball because the ball is mainly bounced with your fingers, and the force on the ball that is popped out quickly is too complex.
, the ball rotates very strangely during flight and will generate a lot of turbulence, making the ball's flight trajectory unpredictable and as unpredictable as a flying butterfly.
Once the ball leaves his hand, not even Shimofujihara himself knows how it will fly, and the catcher is even less likely to know. The ability requirements for both pitchers and catchers are very high, and the biggest problem is that it is easy to misjudge the ball.
——The referee was also confused.
The ball bounced out, but its speed was still over 140, which is considered a good level for high school students. However, after entering the strike zone, it even drew a short S-shaped arc, causing Hideji Kitahara to predict.
His miscalculation was that the ball did not hit the center of the ball, and the sweet spot was not completely hit. As a result, the ball did not fly out of the third base sideline as he hoped. Instead, it was hit by the stick and turned into a ground ball, which rolled away from the field.
.
There was nothing he could do about it already. He reacted quickly, dropped the bat and ran away, running along the base line to first base. Now that the pitching fight was over, it was good to get on base and get a hit.
Yamatoura's infield fielding team began to move. The third baseman was nearest and immediately chased the ball. After preparing to pick up the ball, he passed it to the direction of first base and directly killed Kitahara Shuji. He was glad that he finally solved this difficult situation.
It was his opponent, but the first baseman looked horrified - it felt like Hideji Kitahara could run faster than a dog.
He quickly shouted to his teammates to move faster, and the third baseman moved quickly enough. He turned around and passed the ball to him, but when the ball was flying in mid-air, Kitahara Shuji had already fallen to the ground and slid to the ground with one foot stretched out.
That's enough for a first-run base.
The first baseman caught the ball steadily, Kitahara Hideji also skated to first base, and the first base umpire slashed his arm and shouted: "Safe base!"
Kitahara Hideji's foot touched the base bag, and the first baseman caught the ball. There may have been only a few tenths of a second, but Kitahara Hideji successfully reached base.
Many spectators began to applaud. Although this fight took a long time, it had to be said that it was very exciting. I couldn't imagine that this was a high school level competition - mainly because the big screen kept showing close-ups of Kitahara Shuji's face.
The way he focused on hitting the ball was so handsome that many girls who came to support him had heart attacks and didn't feel the passage of time at all.
Suzuki Noki also breathed a big sigh of relief, took out the breathing regulator and stuffed it into her mouth, took a few deep breaths, and felt very angry in her heart - Kitahara Shuji always refused to listen to her, and she clearly asked him to be more honest.
But they had to rush for bases, and they were unorganized and undisciplined. If they got injured, such as a sprained foot, they would have to go home collectively!
Hideji Kitahara stood up on first base and patted the dust off his body. He was troubled by the large stains on his baseball jersey, but he put it aside in a flash and turned his attention to Shimofujihara.
That pop-up ball is a bit interesting. Can you still pitch like that? Simply rely on the unpredictable trajectory of the ball to win?
The ball just now was difficult to hit. The trajectory of the ball changed too weirdly without warning, making it difficult for people to react. It was likely to be swung in the air, and even if it was hit, it would be difficult to hit the center of the ball. The sweet spot is prone to infield ground balls.
And the upright cannon's high-flying ball directly creates a situation where the defenders are suffocating or receiving kills.
As expected, anyone who can lead a team into Koshien has some unique skills, which should not be underestimated!
There he was recalling Shimofujihara's action just now. He moved his fingers and fingers together, and he was ready to turn around and try again. Shimofujigao kept lightly clenching his fists to relax his arms and finger joints - throwing a butterfly ball to the opponent.
It is also a huge burden for him. He was not prepared to use it in the second round, but there is no other way. Moreover, if Kitahara Shuji can handle this ball with ease, he will really have nothing to do.
At the same time, he was also a little disappointed. He didn't expect that despite his best efforts, Kitahara Shuji was still not eliminated. In the end, he got a hit and successfully reached first base. If he had known that this would be the result, he might as well have just walked.
Forget it.
He knew there was something wrong with him. His arm tolerance was not very good, and protracted games were not good for him, so he spent a year practicing the butterfly ball with the catcher, preparing to kill one after another, and use this trick to make a living in professional baseball in the future.
——Being able to lead the team to Koshien twice, he must have excellent talent in baseball, and he is also one of the well-known pitchers in college. It should be no problem to enter the professional baseball, and after entering the professional baseball, how can the first team have
For six to eight pitchers, he can be a starter or a reliever. He can be benched after three innings. Poor arm tolerance is not a big problem.
But this is a big problem for Koshien. No one in his team can completely replace him - in the first inning of the game, Private Daifuku had a man on first base and no one out, and he had already consumed almost 20% of the balls.
.
No more, if Kitahara Shuji comes again, he will have to wet his pants on the spot.
He dawdled there and started to get some rest time, which was similar to the usual Kitahara Shuji, while Yuki carried the bat into the right batting area, bowed his head to the referee to say hello in a cute way, and then glanced at the standing
Hideji Kitahara at first base.
Kitahara Shuji nodded vigorously at her, and then smiled softly - Yukiri, don't worry, I will take care of everything.
Xueli understood in an instant and cast her eyes on Shimotohara, eager to try - she wanted to hit the butterfly ball just now. It felt so powerful, and she could still swing the bat with all her strength. Even if one hit sent Shimotohara to the hospital again, she believed that the child
His father also had a way to make Shimoto Yuan not be angry with her and happily forgive her.
At best, I would wear a maid outfit to express my gratitude. It feels more effective than kneeling down - I wore it for Kitahara Shuji and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
In the live broadcast room of "Fighting Koshien", Soki Munemasa also let out a long sigh. There is no doubt that Kitahara Shuji is a genius. With a first-class pitching level in professional baseball and a very good hitting ability, he is definitely a rising star.
Rising Star.
Konishimiya Masako was also very satisfied. The longer Kitahara Shuji stayed on the court, the happier she became - she wished she could kick out all the other members of the private Daifuku team and let Kitahara Hideji vote for one person, but unfortunately it didn't work.
She was not idle just now. In addition to praising Soki Munemasa, she also praised Kitahara Hideji three times from beginning to end. At this time, seeing Kitahara Hideji successfully reaching first base, she was so happy that she smiled crookedly and sighed: "
Kitahara-kun is really awesome!"
"It is indeed very powerful, with strong hitting ability. The hit rate is frighteningly high. However, Shimofuji is also a very high-level player. The butterfly ball is one of the most difficult balls. I didn't expect him to be able to use it freely now."
Munemasa Soki also had to praise Hideji Kitahara's opponent, otherwise the two commentators would be one-sided and neutral. "This is really a high-level matchup, but next we have to look at the second player Fukuzawa."
He looked carefully at the close-up of Xueli's face and found that the bright eyes were full of excitement. He said with some joy: "It seems that Fukuzawa player is in good condition. The last attack incident did not have any negative impact on her."
, his psychological adjustment ability is very good.”
Konishimiya Masako looked at Yuki with displeasure. She checked and found out that Fukuzawa Yuki was the girlfriend of her idol, and she was so beautiful and had such a great figure. It was simply morally bankrupt - a rabbit was so big, and a
Look what a good woman she is!
But she didn't say anything. Xueli is now one of the representatives of the equal rights trend. Even many women who are not interested in baseball, especially professional women, are supporting her. There is no good fruit to be gained by attacking her verbally.
Munemasa Soki was looking forward to Yuki's performance, and he didn't care about his partner's reaction. He said to himself: "According to statistics, player Fukuzawa is the strongest player in the private Daifuku Academy. Let's take a look at this pitching match.
, let’s see who of the two players is stronger - this is the essence of Koshien, the collision of passion and passion...huh?"
With Hideji Kitahara's wonderful performance first, his expectations for this game increased by three levels, but he was stunned mid-sentence and found that the situation on the field was not right. Shimofujihara was using the four-bad Keihara tactic to send Yukiri out.
On base.
There's nothing he can do about it. He really wants to compete with Yuki. After all, this is Koshien. Keiyuan's walking tactics are easy to get scolded, and he will be regarded as having no courage and being a coward. What's more, if everyone in the game is beaten and Yuki is walked,
If so, it is definitely not a good thing for his pitching career - tens of millions of people will watch this game, and if such a thing as a full-out walk occurs, it will be considered as a direct admission of defeat, and baseball particularly cares about statistics.
As for the movement of statistics, this matter will definitely be recorded, and people will talk about it every ten years.
Even if it can't be called a stain, it certainly won't make you happy after hearing it. However, Shimotohara had just been fighting with Kitahara Shuji for so long, and he was still a little overwhelmed for the time being. He looked at Yukiri who was waiting to hit the ball.
, he didn’t really want to confront her at this time - between team victory and personal honor, he gave priority to the former, and directly sent Xueli away through four consecutive bad balls that were deflected to Xueli.
The bases are on.
Yuki was very disappointed, but had no choice but to slowly walk to first base. Kitahara Shuji was naturally forced to enter the bases and was pushed to second base. He was also very disappointed - he also wanted to learn the butterfly ball secretly, and Ichihara was forced to enter the base and was pushed to second base.
The base is a good position to observe, but the opponent missed the shot.
However, he could also understand Fujihara's thoughts. Yuki held the bat and stood in the strike zone. He had a domineering attitude that dominated the field, which really put a great sense of pressure on the pitcher - he wouldn't want to be with Yuki.
Just now, luckily Xueli is his catcher, otherwise Xueli would definitely drag him into a pitching duel.
Both of them were disappointed, but the private Daifuku Academy bullpen and the bullpen began to cheer and celebrate. No one was out in the first inning and there were people on first and second base. This was a clear advantage.
The atmosphere in the support box and bullpen of Yamatoura is low, and they don't feel good - walking away from the four bad guys is too bad for morale. It's okay in professional baseball, but it's especially easy for young people playing in Koshien.
It makes people feel frustrated.
Private Daifuku's third bat, Emiya Taira, was on the scene. He was originally the strongest bat in the team after Yukiri and the best at long hitting. But now, looking at Kitahara Shuji's performance, I have respect for him. I feel that he will be the team's leader from now on.
The third strongest bat in the field, Suzuki Nozomi continued to give instructions to the people on the field - continue to fight with the opponent's pitcher, but if there is a chance, you can also catch the person on base and score, turning the current advantage into a victory.
!
She was arrogant on the sidelines and quickly aroused the interest of the on-site director.
