Chapter 32: He is Monster
Fourth inning.
Second half of the round.
Hiromi struggled to throw the ball.
But he had performed well before, but he only played the infield high flying ball.
At last.
was easily taken out by Hiromi.
"Very good!"
"Cast beautifully!"
"Perfect pitch!"
The Kiryu rest area constantly heard the sound of teammates' support.
On the field.
Hiromi bowed his head slightly, and the front of his baseball cap covered his face.
"Hellish running..."
"Hell pitching practice..."
"Hell strength training..."
"Hellish hard practice..."
"And this stage where I can show all the results thoroughly..."
"The game was really fun!"
Hiromi, who was intoxicated by the competition, cracked his. mouth and laughed.
Because it looks scary on the outside, it is scary to laugh, just like the treacherous laughter of bad people.
"This... What's going on with this kid? "
Sakai, who had just stepped into the beater's seat, was instantly startled when he saw Hiromi's terrifying smile.
It's not just him.
Everyone in seido was also stunned.
Sawamura looked even more disgusted: "He... What is he laughing at?! "
And Kiryu's side.
Everyone was excited.
"Out... Appeared! "
"Akan's sissy smile!"
"That guy is so excited now!"
...
On the pitch.
With a terrifying smile, Hiromi , he threw the ball.
It's fast!
The trajectory of change is also more psychedelic!
No matter how hard Ichiro Sakai tries, he can't touch the ball with a bat!
After three good balls in a row.
Ichiro Sakai was directly eliminated.
The first player who appeared after that, Yoichi Kuramochi.
Facing Hiromi, who entered a state of excitement, it was also difficult to resist.
...
When the position is eliminated.
Offensive and defensive exchange, the fifth round begins.
"Asad, I will give the code word [Quick Finger Ball] in this game, be mentally prepared."
Before playing, Miyuki also said to Asad.
"No problem."
Asad nodded.
"Quick finger ball?"
Everyone in seido was shocked.
"Asad, when did you practice?"
Sawamura was even more surprised than anyone else.
He trained with Asad every day, why had he never seen Asad cast it?
"I just entered the school and practiced in private, just mastered it some time ago, and then told him."
Asad pointed at miyuki and replied.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you? "
Miyuki raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at his teammates in surprise.
"Never said it!"
Jun Isashiki shouted loudly.
"Well, not a word was mentioned!"
Ryosuke Kominato echoed.
"The straight ball that surpasses the high school level, and the strong ball control, even if it is put in Koshien, it is enough to dominate."
Vice Minister Rei Takashima pushed his glasses and looked at Asad who walked towards the court in surprise.
"And yet..."
"Asad actually learn new ball, and our monsters have become even more terrifying!"
Hearsay.
Coach Kataoka nodded in agreement: "Yes!" To be honest, I didn't expect him to suddenly master this ball. "
"But with a quick fingerball."
"The threat of his straight ball will be further enhanced!"
"If the physical strength continues to strengthen, Asad can completely complete the entire game alone."
As soon as these words came out.
Sawamura, Furuya, and Kawakami, who were sitting next to them, suddenly felt great pressure in their hearts.
"Nope!"
"After the game, the training volume must be doubled!"
Kawakami secretly made up his mind in his heart.
No more effort.
Not to mention this year, you may not be able to play next year.
"Stamina!"
"Control!"
Flames burned in Furuya's eyes.
With Asad, a super teammate, his desire to exercise his physical strength and control the ball is even stronger. At
Sawamura is also silently making up his mind, and he must work harder next.
"Huh~~"
"The coach and deputy minister must have done it on purpose!"
Chris saw the fighting spirit of the three pitchers become extremely high, and instantly understood why the coach said this.
Apparently!
Coach Kataoka is using Asad to stimulate them!
As for the coach said that the finished shot, the probability is actually not large!
Because!
The summer competition schedule is tight!
After a fight, before you can rest well, you have to play the next game!
And so on and so forth....
Even the iron man cannot withstand such a high-intensity competition!
So!
Coach Kataoka probably also hopes that Sawamura and the three pitchers can grow up quickly!
That's the only way!
Only by seido can you dominate the country!
...
On the pitch.
"Phew!"
"It's in great shape now!"
"No matter how fast you go, you feel like you can hit it!"
Kiryu's four-stick pavilion Hiromi stood in the beater's seat and said to Asad with a terrifying smile.
"Huh..."
"Obviously I have been knocked out of two strikeouts, can I still laugh?"
"This guy really likes to play."
"Although the smile is very scary..."
"But..."
"It's not so easy to get out of our monsters!"
Miyuki also chuckled and gave Asad the command to quickly fork the ball.
"Do you use it in the first place?"
Asad muttered in his heart, holding the baseball's right hand and changing his gripping gesture.
Originally, it was a four-suture straight ball grip.
And now.
It is a special grip for a quick finger fork ball.
That is, the index and middle fingers are placed on a pair of parallel sutures of the ball, and the remaining three fingers hold the ball together.
The ball hits home plate.
It will be affected by gravity and fall suddenly, causing the batter to miss the swing.
"Come on!"
"Let the audience be amazed by your performance!"
Miyuki also looked at Asad expectantly.
"Come on, come on, come on!"
Hiromi held the bat tightly, staring at Asad's movements even sharper.
"Phew!"
Take a deep breath.
Calm your mind.
Immediately, Asad threw the ball hard with a quick finger grip.
Shout!!
The baseball turned into a white arrow of light and rushed to home plate.
"Here it comes!"
Hiromi's eyes kicked, and he swang his bat in an instant.
However!
Just when the metal rod is about to hit the baseball!
The galloping baseball fell without warning!
Wow!
The sound of the wind waving the stick sounded!
The smile on Hiromi's face disappeared in an instant!
"Refers to..."
" quick Finger ball..."
Hiromei's eyes widened in amazement, and her pupils were filled with disbelief.
"That..."
"So fast ball speed..."
"Actually... It's not a straight ball..."
In the Kiryu rest area, Coach Matsumoto and the players were also shocked by Asad's skills.
Their brains!
Once again, it became a blank!
"Perfect quick finger fork ball!"
In the rest area of seido, Coach Kataoka's eyes lit up.
As a pitcher.
He could see it.
Asad's quick finger ball.
The ball speed is clearly over 150.
And Asad's straight ball is also more than 150 per hour.
After the combination of the two.
This will be Asad's most terrifying weapon.
Because!
The opposing batter, there is no way to judge whether Asad is throwing a straight ball or a quick finger ball!
To know!
After a speed of more than 150 per hour, the flight time of a baseball in the air is very short!
Almost in the blink of an eye!
The baseball had already flown from Asad's position into Miyuki's gloves!
In such a short time!
Just facing a straight ball with a speed of more than 150 per hour is a big problem!
And now!
And on this basis!
Beware of Asad's fast finger ball!
Frankly!
Coach Kataoka felt for a moment that Asad was already invincible in the high school baseball world!
"The combination of straight ball and fast finger ball seems to have a feeling of invincibility!"
Vice Minister Rei Takashima said with a smile.
"Eh..."
Minister Ota hesitated and said, "Although Asad's straight ball and fast finger ball are indeed very strong, this is only a quick finger ball thrown once after all. "
"Wouldn't it be too early to draw conclusions so early?"
Hearsay.
Coach Kataoka said lightly: "Although Asad is only in the first grade, once he arrives at the competition, he will definitely not do anything that he is not sure of. "
"If he really didn't master the quick fingerball, he definitely wouldn't have told Miyuki."
"But since I took it out."
"It proves that Asad has enough confidence to ensure that most of the fast finger balls will not make mistakes!"
As soon as these words came out.
Minister Ota was instantly speechless.
I could only obediently close my mouth and watch the game quietly.
...
On the pitch.
Ryosuke Kominato chuckled and said, "Standing behind Asad, I feel that the previous training has been done for nothing." "
Yuki nodded: "Yes, this kid's strength is too terrifying." "
"So far, it seems that he hasn't been beaten by anyone, right?"
Ryosuke Kominato: "Don't say that Asad hits, just touching the ball is a very difficult thing for batters!" "
Staying in the outfield, feeling very lonely, Jun Isashiki shouted, "Hey! Asad! "
"It's good to let the other side play a ball!"
"Standing all the time, bored panic!"
Of course.
Shout is so shouted.
But in his heart, he definitely didn't want Asad's ball to be hit.
After all.
Even the second place in the country in last summer's competition could be suppressed by Asad.
That shows Asad's pitch.
Placed on this year's national championship it can also have a great effect.
...
Shout!
Sharp breaking sound!
Asad threw the second ball!
This time it's a four-suture straight ball with a speed of about 154 per hour!
But the quick finger ball just now left a deep impression on Hirom's mind!
As a result, Hiromi's energy was distracted a lot on the fast finger ball!
The action that caused the swing of the stick caused hesitation and slowed down!
Boom!
No surprises!
The baseball grazed Hiromi's bat and got into Miyuki's gloves!
"Good ball!"
The referee shouted.
Followed by.
Asad threw the third ball in pursuit of victory, which was still a straight ball.
But Hiromi is very entangled.
He always thought that this ball might be a quick finger ball.
But...
Reality told him that he had guessed wrong again!
"Good ball!"
"The hitter is out!"
The referee loudly announces the result.
"Abominable!"
Hiromi swung his bat in annoyance and smashed it on home plate.
"Huh..."
"With the impression of a fast finger fork ball, both Hiromi , and the next hitter, had to be distracted by the fast finger fork ball."
"Straight balls with speeds above 150 per hour are not easy to deal with."
"Now it's time to distract yourself..."
"You guys..."
"It's over..."
The corners of Miyuki's mouth turned up slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh.
...
The next two hitters.
With the wonderful cooperation of Asad and miyuki, it was also easily eliminated.
Subsequently.
Offensive and defensive exchange.
It was seido's turn to attack.
The first hitter this time was Ryosuke Kominato of Seido.
For Kiryu's catcher.
He definitely only wants to send the opponent to base with 4 bad balls.
Because it will be more labor-saving.
But just before he went on the field, Coach Matsumoto specially ordered that he face it head-on.
In the opinion of Coach Matsumoto.
With Asad around, Kiryu's probability of winning will be low.
So.
Simply change the purpose of the next competition to: Hiromi training
Specific method:
Naturally, it is a line that confronts seido head-on.
Coach Matsumoto believes that fighting with the national level will give Hiromi a lot of practical gains.
This will be of great help to the upcoming national competition.
...
Thereupon.
Hiromi 's every ball gave his all.
Straight balls, curveballs, sliding balls and other balls are continuously played according to the instructions of the catcher.
And Ryosuke Kominato, who is extremely powerful, as long as he sees that the ball thrown by Hiromi will fly into the good ball area, he will directly knock it out of bounds.
As for the ball that flew into the bad ball area, Ryosuke Kominato didn't care.
Because he has not yet reached Asad's level of 'no matter what kind of ball, he can play out of bounds'.
So.
The ball that should be put.
Still have to put.
Don't be too greedy.
