As soon as the expert reaches out his hand, he will know if there is any!
Originally, Tsuchihara and Marian had not thought about why they would lose to Aoi Ren. They always thought that in the first round, they lost to Ren because of their guilty conscience.
Now it seems that it is not so simple.
In the strike zone, the man standing was like a monster, standing in front of them.
It's not a psychological problem, and it has nothing to do with the previous grievances.
It is simply powerful!
Aoi Ren now feels very similar to Nagano's first hitter, Matsumoto Ken. Although the attacking styles of the two are completely different, they feel the same danger, and the danger makes people shiver.
Tsuchihara turned his head to look in the direction of the bullpen.
"I believe in you!"
In the bullpen, Takeshi Ryu didn't say a word, but his eyes conveyed such a will.
Tsuchihara's heart clenched fiercely, and the coach's expectant eyes deeply stimulated him.
"Deal with him with the best pitch!"
Tsuchihara passed on this idea to Marian.
On the pitcher's mound, the braided braid let out a long breath and opened his eyes abruptly. It was as if they were being forced into Liangshan now, and there was no way out at all. If they want to find Akagi's flaws, first of all, they must not make mistakes themselves, they must solve Fengxiang and Sawamura.
In the cowshed of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.
The assistant coach gave Takeshi Ryu a strange look and asked, "Do you really believe that our players can get back to their state and solve their opponents by themselves?"
Takeshi Ryu stared at the court with a pair of sincere eyes and replied in a low voice: "Don't be joking. It's just a bunch of little brats. If you play well, everything will be fine. If you don't play well, it's not that there is no such thing as an instant collapse. Possibly. I'm just guiding you in a good direction!"
The assistant coach of Nagano Metropolitan couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Clang!"
After the first ball, the second ball was blasted out of bounds by Aoi Ren.
Although the number of goals is now two strikes behind, in terms of momentum, Ren is one better. It felt that Nagano Metropolitan's pitchers and catchers had been completely suppressed by Aoi Ren.
Sawamura, who was waiting for the table, watched more.
No matter how strong Ren's performance was, he was chased by two strikes after all. One more strike and a strikeout. On the whole, the fight between the two sides is actually half a catty.
The next outcome depends on...
In the cowshed of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.
"Very good, with two strikes ahead, you can make good use of those three bad balls."
Nagano's assistant coach said excitedly.
Takeshi Ryu beside him disdainfully said: "Now both sides are holding back, whoever backs down will lose. Even if we win this duel, it doesn't make any sense."
"In the next ball, Marian deliberately threw a Ball to deceive the bat, or Ren hesitated to swing the bat because he was worried that Marian might throw a bad ball. Then the person who hesitated in his heart would lose."
"Then who do you think will win?"
Although the assistant coach doesn't understand the specific reason, he still thinks what Takeshi Ryu said is reasonable.
"I know who can win, it's a matter of a few brats. However, we Nagano City will definitely not lose."
The assistant coach listened with a question mark on his forehead.
Takeshi Ryu smiled without explaining.
"Clang!"
On the third ball, Marian threw the ball into the strike zone without hesitation, and Ren didn't hesitate in his swing.
After the baseball is hit, it falls between the first baseman and the pitcher, that is, in front of the second baseman.
Takeshi Ryu's face was a little gloomy, and the decisiveness of Marian and Tsuchihara was beyond his expectations. In his impression, although these two guys are talented, their mentality is not mature.
How should I say this, it should be said that the two of them are not the kind of leading players. They are all good assistants and can play their own roles in their own positions. But it is difficult for such a player to lead the team forward in the position of catcher and pitcher.
The huge pressure will make it difficult for them to bear.
Just like the ball just now, the two should be hesitant to use the bad ball. But when Marian was throwing the ball just now, he didn't hesitate, his pitch was full of extraordinary fighting spirit.
"Out!"
The second baseman catches the ball. After receiving the ball, he immediately hits the first base and knocks Ren out.
As soon as he was out, no one got on base, and it was Sawamura's turn to strike.
"Eijun, Eijun!!!"
"Eijun, come on!"
"Look at you, Sawamura-senpai!!!"
The friends from Akagi Middle School also seemed to feel the difference in their opponents and took the initiative to cheer for Sawamura.
Although Ren's shot was good, it didn't penetrate Nagano's defence. This made the friends who supported Akagi feel a little uncomfortable.
"This defence is really solid!"
Sawamura frowned slightly as he looked at Nagano Metropolitan's garrison. To be honest, Ren's ball just now was not slow, and such a ball did not penetrate the defence of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, which gave him a two-point surprise.
In middle school, there are not many teams with the such garrison. Coupled with Marian's ball power and speed, it would be difficult for Akagi to score another point from Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, and even hits would be difficult to hit.
"Clang!"
After entangled with two balls, Sawamura swung the ball to fly, and after the baseball flew out was caught by the third baseman.
"Out!"
Akagi Middle School had a third batter and a fourth batter, two super strong players, Aoi Ren and Sawamura Eijun, who were eliminated one after another.
Under the leadership of ace pitcher Marian, Nagano Metropolitan Middle School finally managed to regain a fortune.
Next, they struck out Akagi's fifth batter, giving Akagi three hits and three outs!
"Three outs, the offence and defence are exchanged."
In the second half of the fourth round, Nagano attacked.
Because no one had hit the base before, their line-ups in this game started from the first bat.
Before hitting the field, Takeshi Ryu suddenly stopped the first club that was ready to play.
"coach?"
The first batter looked at Takeshi Ryu in confusion.
"You should aim at the inside corner for the first shot."
"why?"
The hitter was puzzled.
Takeshi Ryu smiled lightly: "I did some statistics, and the probability of Sawamura's first shot is 70% from the inside corner, 23% from the outside corner, and 7% for the change ball. You've seen him throw before if you bet on the first ball. You should be able to hit the ball."
"Yes!"
The batter rushed to the strike zone as if he had obtained the magic weapon for victory.
The assistant coach of Nagano Metropolis looked at Takeshi Ryu with very suspicious eyes.
"Coach, have you really counted?"
"Don't be stupid, I have that skill. But the first shot of the first round Sawamura shot from the outside corner, and he is not a typical pitcher who likes to attack outside corners. The first ball of this inning, the probability of hitting the inside corner should be relatively high. ."
"What?"
The assistant coach was stunned: "What if you guessed wrong?"
"It doesn't matter if you guess wrong. Anyway, it's a blind cat who kills a mouse. It's good if you touch it, and there's nothing to lose if you don't touch it."
