Crack

Wakana passed the ball to Nobu Nakagawa at first base. The position was slightly off. Nobu Nakagawa opened his glove to catch the ball.

"Pop!"

The baseball entered the glove, but Nobu didn't catch it, the baseball bounced out of his glove. When Nobu picked up the ball and ran back to first base, Tenryuji's sixth batter had already run to first base ahead of schedule.

From the strike zone to the first base, it is only more than 20 meters. Any defensive error is fatal at this time.

"Safe!"

Before the referee's voice at first base had completely fallen, he saw Tenryuji's sixth batter running to second base non-stop. This really surprised the first-base referee. He has been a referee for many years. This is the first time I have seen a runner who barely managed to run to second base.

Wait a minute, it seems to be all right. The wonderful garrison adopted by Akagi Middle School completely gave up the second base. With no one guarding the second base, the runners can of course keep going.

"Safe!"

Two outs, and there is someone at second base.

At this time, the supporters of the Brotherhood of Hearts in the stands were all dying of frustration.

They really didn't expect that Akagi Middle School would make a defensive mistake at this time, which is really a pity.

"Could it be that the Goddess of Victory is on vacation today? Otherwise, why are we Akagi so unlucky?"

"Her aunt is here, let's be considerate."

"They haven't lost any points yet, so don't say something depressing."

…

At the same time, the bald army, who had been dealt with by Sawamura for four or five consecutive blows, and was a little dull, suddenly came to the spirit at this time.

"Tenryuji, Tenryuji!!"

They shouted the name of the team over and over again, hoping to convey their strength to the players on the field.

"We are the top eight in the country! We won't lose to a small team that doesn't know where it came from."

"The King's Way! Tenryuji!!"

Thousands of bald heads, shouting in unison, looked like a gang of underworld gangs gathered together, still very scary.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura's face was terrifyingly cold. He already vaguely understood the plan of the old man of Tenryuji, Hiromitsu Yamano. I have to say, this old guy has really vicious eyes.

Sawamura has directed all his firepower to himself as much as possible. The old guy still saw through Akagi's flaws at a glance.

In the cowshed of Tenryuji.

The assistant coach has already admired his head coach. The layman watches the fun, the layman watches the doorway. He was different from those in the audience. He was keenly aware of the problems that had just occurred in Akagi Middle School.

From the position where Wakana passed the ball to the first base, it was just over twenty meters, not even twenty-five. Passing and receiving at this distance are the basics of baseball. Even if the average team can't do it, the team that reached the semi-finals of the regional competition is unlikely to make such a low-level mistake. The last time they can also pass the ball with a bounce!

But with this kind of pass and catch, the player from Akagi just now made two mistakes.

The first one was Wakana's pass, which was two meters wide. This forced Nobu Nakagawa to leave the first base in order to catch the ball. The second is Nakagawa Nobu's catch. He can still catch the ball when he stays in place. Once he catches the ball while moving, he makes a mistake.

Through these two superficial phenomena, it is not difficult to draw conclusions.

That is, the basic skills of Akagi Middle School are not solid enough, and their training is not thorough enough.

Actually, they knew about this for a long time, but they forgot about it unknowingly during the game, which is really strange.

"Teacher Yamano, how did you see it?"

Ask if you don't understand. As a good student, the assistant coach is still very humble.

The old man Yamano said with a smile: "People tend to subconsciously focus their eyes on gorgeous things, thus ignoring some key details. Just like Akagi, the reason why you have been addicted is that their pitchers have been performing tightrope walks. . Magical floats, superb straights, and then limiting yourself to the ball in the outside corner. The pitcher puts so many restrictions on himself, you think, like this, I can't win?"

In fact, you really can't win, you can only sink under the superb skills of the other party.

"Seeing the other person's unparalleled tightrope walking skills, all you think about is how to increase the sway of the tightrope so that the tightrope walker will fall. But in fact, you ignore the tightrope person who is more prone to problems than the tightrope walker. Although their job is easier, but if it is unstable, no matter how well a tightrope walker walks, he can't fly."

The old man Yamano said confidently: "We will win this game!"

"Clang!"

After the sixth batter, the seventh batter of Tenryuji Middle School used the exact same bunt. After the ball was hit, it rebounded very quickly. Wakana didn't have time to pick it up, so she could only pin her hopes on Renya as a shortstop.

"Look at me!"

Renya usually speaks softly, but at this time he is very manly. After he picked up the ball, he sent it to first base.

This time, the straight-line distance was longer than before.

Nobu, who had just made a mistake in catching the ball, hadn't regained his strength when he saw the baseball flying again.

"I…"

His body responded subconsciously and caught the ball very beautifully.

Just after receiving the ball, his mind went blank for a moment, and he kind of forgot what he was going to do next.

what's next?

He remembers Sawamura once told him that it is best to step on the base bag to catch the ball so that the runner will be out of the game. If it's too late, determine the runner's position and decide whether to kill him directly or go back to the base.

At this time, the batter was already close to him, and it was definitely too late to return to the base.

"Watch me touch you!"

Nobu Nakagawa anxiously used his gloves to touch the batter who ran over.

The runner at Tenryuji seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect that Nakagawa, who just made a mistake, would react so quickly. It's not great, but it's already a bit of a look.

However, it's still too tender!

The runners at Tenryuji, facing the sweeping gloves, jumped directly and used the sliding base.

Nakagawa Nobu watched helplessly as the runner disappeared from his eyes, feeling strange in his heart, what about people?

"Safe!"

The referee at first base also applauded this wonderful matchup, so he shouted loudly.

Nobu Nakagawa looked at the runner on the first base in shock. Why did he just disappear?

From the audience's view, the ordinary sliding bases have a different perception when they face off on the court.

"Back home!"

Just as Nakagawa was stunned, he suddenly heard Ren's anxious cry.

Home base, why?

Nakagawa didn't understand, but he still passed the ball back to Ren, and then he saw a scene that he will never forget.

At the position of the home plate, the sixth batter of the original Tenryuji had already pounced on the base of the home plate.
