chapter 77

Boom!

The baseball slammed into Shinji Kanamaru's back, causing him to let out a scream.

"You... You kid did it on purpose, right!! "

Shinji Kanamaru covered his back and asked in a hideous and angry voice.

"I'm sorry!"

Sawamura bowed decisively and apologized.

"..."

Chris was speechless for a while.

He really didn't expect that after Sawamura changed his grip method, the inside corner kick thrown was so outrageous.

"Shhh!"

Akiko Owada, gasped: "It hurts to watch!" "

Feng Fujifu swallowed his spit: "This kid's way of pitching is really interesting..."

...

Boom!!!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise next to Chris.

Ugh --

Passers-by and reporters outside the venue turned their heads one after another.

See you then!

Miyuki took out the ball in the glove and passed it to Asad.

The next moment.

Asad threw the ball again.

Boom!!!

The heavy sound of a baseball hitting a glove came out again.

This gave the reporters a complete understanding of what made that loud noise just now.

"Although I had heard that Asad's pitching was fast before, I was still a little frightened when I saw it with my own eyes."

Akiko Owada exclaimed.

"If the ball is strong enough, it's almost unbeatable in a high school league!"

Fujio Mine gave an evaluation.

"Indeed!"

Akiko Owada nodded approvingly.

She has also been a journalist for some years.

The speedball players I have seen so far, each of them has made a lot of names.

The best of them!

It's also killing all sides on Koshien!

Of course...

Provided the ball is strong enough...

"In other words, isn't there another speedball player in seido?"

"Where did the other 'monster' go?"

...

The other side.

Yoichi Kuramoto, who bought a drink from the vending machine, is preparing to return to the stadium to continue training.

I didn't expect it!

When passing by the indoor driving range!

I actually saw Furuya lying in it and sleeping!

"This..."

"This kid actually slept in such a place with a big grin..."

Yoichi Kuramori was originally very pleased.

Because although the temperature has risen a lot, the first-grade Furuya has never missed training.

However...

Held on for so many days!

In the end, I chose to be lazy!

Saying!

Be lazy, be lazy!

How can you sleep in an indoor field where people often pass by!

This lazy level is also too bad!

Wrong!

Why am I bothering about his laziness!

Kuramori Yoichi shook his head.

Put all kinds of cranky ideas aside.

Then, gritting his teeth, he walked to the side of the valley.

He took a deep breath.

And then roared in the ear of the valley:

"Hurry up!!"

"Hurry up and pitch for me in the cowshed!!"

Furuya was shocked and was so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes.

After looking up and seeing Senior Kuramoto, he was suddenly a little embarrassed.

But...

It's really hot!

So Furuya stubbornly said:

"That..."

"It's so hot today..."

"Let me rest a little longer..."

Yoichi Kuramori was quite speechless.

"It's summer!"

"Of course it's hot!!"

"Okay, let's go to training!!"

"Don't go again, don't blame me for telling the coach !!"

Hearsay.

Furuya sighed.

But I still had to get up and walk outside.

No way...

If the coach knows that he is lazy...

To punish him, it will definitely deprive him of the opportunity to play ...

"That's right."

"Remind you first."

"This summer, it seems to be hotter than usual."

"Be mentally prepared now..."

Kuramori walked behind, while reminding the trough.

But in the end, he suddenly remembered that Furuya was from Hokkaido.

For Furuya...

It's the first time to experience summer in Tokyo...

Could it be because the body can't adapt to this temperature...

Looking at the tired back of Furuya.

Yoichi Kuramori fell into deep thought.

...

Shout!!!

Boom!!!

Walking to the bullpen, the extremely tired Furuya threw a straight ball at the top speed.

This loud noise.

Yoichi Kuramoki, who was walking towards the guerrilla position, turned his head to look at Furuya.

"Isn't it not adapted to the high temperature here?"

"How did you get back to your usual state as soon as you pitched the ball?"

"Weird little ghost..."

But.

It's okay to see Furuya.

Yoichi Kuramori didn't pay too much attention anymore.

...

Tokyo.

Nerima area.

Mingchuan High School.

"Hey! Don't run away! "

"Shut up! Who wants to run away! Let the horses come! "

The baseball team member standing in the batter's bench clutched the bat and looked seriously in the direction of the pitching machine.

"I let go of the ball!"

The player in charge of controlling the pitching machine reminded.

The words fell.

He puts the ball in the pitching machine.

Shout!!!!!

A white light at a speed that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

He passed past the batter's bench and slammed into the green net behind him.

The players standing behind the green net were so frightened that they retreated one after another.

"Well..."

"It's terrible..."

"This is a straight ball at 160 kilometers per hour!"

"If you get hit by this ball, you will really die!"

See this scene.

Akiko Owada, a reporter who came from Asad specifically, exclaimed, "Set the speed of the pitching machine to the fastest." "

"Is it really to deal with Asad and Furuya?"

Coach Akikawa Ogata Issei shook his head.

"It's basically impossible to hit in a short period of time."

"The fundamental purpose of this exercise is to get the eyes used to this speed."

"Asad and Furuya are both first-year after all, although their ball speed is fast, they are definitely not good at ball control."

"As long as we are used to high-speed balls, then our players can calmly judge those are bad balls."

"By then..."

"Maybe you don't need to swing the bat, you will be sent to base with a bad ball by the opponent."
