Private Daifuku was very resolute in implementing the tactics, seizing every opportunity to fight with Shimofujihara. Even the players who were not good at attacking did their best to fight - Daiwaura High School lost points first, and Private Daifuku was even more unhurried.
, everyone performed stably.
Shito En had no choice but to accept the challenge, and at least managed to eliminate the remaining two bats of Private Daifuku in the first inning, leaving Kuroki Sokatsu, who was standing on first base, unable to score. Finally, it was Yamatoura High School's turn to attack.
At that time, the game had already passed forty-seven minutes - he felt like he had played four or five normal games.
What a long first half!
For Yamatoura, the situation is already quite bad, and Daifuku's tactics are obvious. Everyone in the bullpen communicated for a while, and they felt that to cope with the current situation, they must grab points, and they must grab more points, and strive to win in Shimodo
They couldn't sustain enough points before, so they might still have the strength to fight in the second half of the game. However, they felt that it was difficult to suppress Hideji Kitahara by relying on long hitting, so they planned to rely on short hitting to advance layer by layer as expected.
If you get a chance to steal a base, you'll steal it. In short, it's an infield brawl with Private Daifuku.
However, the situation was not as good as they expected. The private Daifuku Academy was actually unique in terms of preparedness.
Soki Munemasa in the live broadcast room was also surprised and found that Private Daifuku was not as weak as he thought. In other words, their training intensity was very intense and very targeted. Except for Kitahara Shuji and Yuki, the remaining team members singled out one
They were all weak in the past, but together, this group of people showed a style that was no less than that of a strong team, and their tacit understanding was extremely high.
Konishimiya Masako couldn't quite understand the details, but asked curiously: "Senior Munemasa, do they want it in the outfield?"
The current defensive formation of Private Daifuku on the field is indeed strange. There is no one in the outfield, and the three outfielders are squeezed into the edge of the infield to help defend the bases. The original baseman and shortstop are pushed into the bottom of the base line, which is clear.
Fight the blow with all your strength.
They just stand there waiting for the opponent to hit the ball, minimizing the time for the opponent to hit the bases after the hit. The relative price paid is that the outfield is completely unguarded. If the opponent succeeds in a long hit, there will be no one in the outfield to catch the ball.
, not to mention returning the ball to the infield, the opponent has plenty of time to go straight to third base, and maybe he can run around in a circle and return to home plate to score.
It was also the first time for Soki Munemasa to see this kind of defensive formation. It was like no defenders were needed in a football match - although this was legal and no one said that defenders had to stay behind, it was really a desperate move.
He couldn't help but sigh: "They have great confidence in the players from Kitahara."
This is a team's absolute confidence in the strength of the pitcher. It cannot be replicated at all. It is a bet that the ball thrown by Kitahara Hideji cannot be hit by the opponent. Soki Munemasa looked at it for a while and found that Yamatoura was still against Kitahara Hideji.
He really has no ability to play for a long time - it might be possible to switch to a professional team. Hideji Kitahara should be sent to the American major leagues immediately, and he should not stay in a college arena like Koshien.
Yamagaura High School's first attack was fruitless. The power of the ball thrown by Kitahara Shuji was too great, which made it exponentially more difficult for them to hit the bunt. One person failed to get on base, and the two were simply caught. They were defeated directly, and their morale was even worse.
Feeling depressed, the competition has officially entered the track set by the private Daifuku Academy.
There was no change in the score in the first five games. Private Daifuku still fought proactively with Shimotohara. Owaura High School couldn't do anything with Private Daifuku's shameless offensive and defensive tactics. In the end, Shimofujihara was cruel and did not bother to attack with weak attacks.
After getting stronger, I wanted to compete physically with Hideji Kitahara. I felt that the exchange of pitches between the two pitchers was acceptable. When it was Hideji Kitahara's turn to bat for the second time, I took the initiative to fight with him. In the end, I realized that it was useless and beat Kitahara for a long time.
Xiuji's expression was calm and he didn't even break a sweat.
Then he met Xueli again when his momentum was weak, and he didn't dare to walk Xueli anymore. Walking one person on the entire bench was really a huge insult to the pitcher. He was worried that his situation would be worse later, so he chose to face it this time.
After testing Xueli, Xueli decisively hit a home run.
At this point, Fujihara completely collapsed, his physical strength and energy were gone, the ball speed dropped significantly, and mistakes were made frequently. In the pitching duel, people who could have been easily suppressed could not be suppressed. Private Daifuku's entire line
Begins to fully bloom.
More than an hour later, amid the piercing air-raid sirens, Yamatoura High School lost with a score of 0:11. They could only dig in the soil sadly to commemorate the summer, which ended for many students who entered Koshien for the first time.
The junior students wept silently, feeling that they were really humiliated by the loss. This was the first time they had seen a team that did not need outfielders.
Private Daifuku was naturally elated after making it through the second round, and the remaining teams unanimously turned their attention to this strange and strange team - it was not as easy to deal with as expected, and it was not entirely owned by one person.
The team needs to study the countermeasures carefully.
However, this could not stop the private Daifuku Academy from pursuing the victory and defeating Aonagawa High School three days later. The game was quite boring, with neither side scoring a point until the fourteenth game. When they were one game away from losing the game, the opponent's
The pitcher got tired first and hit a "bye home run" to the third batter, Miyahira Emi, ending the difficult game 3:0 - both Yuki and Hideji Kitahara were walked.
Standing on the base and watching, Hei Emiya hit a home run, and each of them scored one run.
In this situation, one point is enough, three points are extra.
After the game, Aonokawa lost and lost again, and was scolded by the audience, thinking that they deserved to lose - it was such a lack of courage, and they actually walked both opponents throughout the game, let alone losing, even if they won, they should be considered losses.
.
Aonagawa High School didn't even dare to fart, and didn't watch the next games. He went straight back to his hometown in despair, but he was furious as hell - these bastards really can't stand and talk, so why don't you come and fight with this pair of Koshien
Try fighting the monsters, at least we almost won!
The private Daifuku Academy successfully entered the top eight, and the whole country was shocked. Kitahara Shuji was so popular that the limelight directly overshadowed Yuki-Japanese people admire strong people, and Kitahara Shuji can shoot and fight with one person.
The genius who ensured his team entered the top eight of Koshien is very in line with the Japanese aesthetics and is naturally very eye-catching. What's more important is that he has a particularly good image.
Through live broadcasts and recordings on TV and the Internet, his unique charm has reached the eyes of tens of millions of people, and even formed a snowball effect. Even female audiences who don’t like baseball are talking about him.
After watching one of his games, I wanted to watch him a second time, and even wanted to invite others to watch, but Kitahara Shuji didn't dare to go out. During his vacation, he wanted to take Yuki out to have a big meal, but as soon as he ran to the street, he
Hundreds of people gathered to watch, and they had no choice but to drag Xueli and flee.
There were many reporters who wanted to interview him, and even more reporters who wanted to expose him as a scandal. Suzuki Noki originally wanted to give the team a day off as a small reward for winning the game, but it turned out that the situation was not right, so she had to force it.
All team members were ordered to remain in confinement. No one was allowed to be interviewed. No one was allowed to go out without permission. Even for daily warm-ups, they could only sneak out.
Yuki was disappointed that she couldn't go out to play. Hideji Kitahara could only cook and feed her, and then hid in his room to apply ointment on his arm.
Because the three rounds of the game went into overtime, he threw nearly 200 balls in total. Of course, there were not so many pitches with full power, only more than 130. Among them, there were some bad balls interspersed to drag down the CD, and he tried his best to
He tried to lower his pressure, but it still made his arm joints very uncomfortable and felt terribly astringent, as if the machine needed to be filled with lubricant.
He was raised in the house for two days, his condition improved slightly, and then he participated in four rounds of battles.
The opponent in the third round, Aonagawa High School, was scolded for not having a head-on confrontation, but the opponent in the fourth round, Miyaminami High School, couldn't do anything about the weird tactical system of Kitahara Shuji and Private Daifuku - there was really no solution, so here's the answer
It's like when high school students participate in competitions between elementary school students. No matter how passionate and fighting the elementary school students are, it's all in vain because their absolute strength is there.
They would rather be scolded than try to kill Kitahara Shuji. However, they had two high-quality pitchers and a strong line. They felt that they were not without the strength to fight. As a result, the game reached the 13th inning, and the whole team was stunned.
The audience was booed but still did not change their behavior - they really wanted to win, and would rather be scolded to death after the game than to win.
But walking two people in a row also has extremely bad consequences. With the cooperation of their teammates, Kitahara Shuji and Yuki kept trying to score points on the bases. Finally, after Kuroki Sokatsu succeeded in a sacrifice hit, Kitahara Shuji slid dangerously.
On base, there was only 0.1 seconds before the hit was successful - the opponent was extremely guarded against the hit, and the cooperation between the fielding players was not inferior to that of Private Daifuku. It took until the thirteenth round before Private Daifuku caught a small
Chance.
Daifuku won 1:0 in the fourth round, and the intervals between games were getting shorter and shorter. Hideji Kitahara felt his arm becoming more and more uncomfortable. He could only grit his teeth and persist. If nothing happened, he would hide in the room and apply ointment and massage himself - those elementary prescriptions.
None of the three medicines provided were effective for the current situation, and he could only rely on massage to recover.
But before he could recover, the five-round battle began again the next day.
If they win this game, they will advance to the finals. Both teams are very motivated. Of course Kitahara Shuji also wants to win, but the opponent Tenshu Boys' High School in the fifth round is not a good opponent. No matter what the outside world thinks, they just want to wear him to death——
- All teams have no good way to deal with this extraordinary pitcher like him, so they just try to compete with him for arm endurance.
The two sides reached a stalemate in the eighth inning. Suzuki Noki keenly discovered that something was not right with Kitahara Shuji. His ball speed began to slowly decrease - it began to fluctuate around 160, far from being above 165 at the beginning of the game.
Tengzhou Men's High School also discovered this, refreshed its energy, and defended even more vigorously, but unexpectedly its own pitcher began to make consecutive mistakes.
Hideji Kitahara came back from the first round and his arms couldn't bear it anymore. The pitcher from Tenshu Boys' High School also fought continuously from the first round. In fact, his arms couldn't bear it either and he was very tired. In fact, both sides were grinding their teeth.
Persistence, and the competition is the most training one. After fighting hard one after another, the strength of the private Daifuku team has improved slightly. Under the command of Suzuki Noki, they fought to the death and performed exceptionally, hitting consecutive hits and hitting the bases.
Scored one point for sending Xueli back.
Private Daifuku took the lead to get a point worth thousands of gold, and then Kitahara Hideji gritted his teeth and fought hard to hold on to the last game. As a result, the game was 1:0 again. Private Daifuku advanced to the finals, only one step away from the cyanosis flag.
.
The effect was sensational. All the viewers in Koshien felt like the rise of a legendary pitcher - a female supervisor, a female scorekeeper, a female team manager, a female player and a first-time player. No matter how you look at it, this is a team that is going to lose. Now
It is expected to raise the flag of cyanosis, and as the core ace of this rookie team, Kitahara Hideji, what is it if not a legend?
However, Kitahara Shuji's arm condition is not good.
