Chapter 31: Don't be mad, be careful to slap your face
The next opponent of Seidou High School baseball team is Shinkong High School, a wealthy family in Kyoto, and their strength is unquestionable.
"We played practice competitions before, and it was at this time last year. The score was seven to ten, and we lost three points."
Minister Ota tells everyone the previous information.
According to the previous newspaper, Seido High School baseball team has no advantage and is even quite dangerous. However, from Minister Oda's expression, there is no sign of too much worry.
"The other party is very tricky!"
Friends were talking a lot.
"At that time, Xiuze's pitching was not yet mature, and Zhang Han and Yuyu did not join the team either."
Minister Oda had a little smugness on his face.
Although they lost a bad game a year ago, they won't be sure who loses.
In the first round, he defeated Daocheng, defeated the city junior high school, and defeated Baoxian University. Not only the contestants, but even Minister Ota was much more energetic than before.
This Jiaziyuan may have a team that is above them, but it definitely does not include the level of Shinkwang High School.
At least you have to go to Kiryu and Nishibon High School at Osaka to steadily defeat the Seido High School baseball team.
As for other teams, they are at most comparable to Qingdao, and most of them should be less powerful than them.
This perception made Minister Oda unconsciously arrogant.
"Don't be careless! After all, we haven't fought for a year. What's the point in the opponent's strength has now grown? We don't know."
Supervisor Kataoka always believes that he should not be careless and underestimate the enemy.
No matter who the opponent is, they must be prepared 12% to ensure that Seido High School baseball team goes further.
"yes!"
Friends, everyone is extremely respectful.
On the day of the competition, the sun shone brightly. The August sun was extremely vicious. Even though the competition had not started, Zhang Han had already had fine sweat on his body.
He was pretty good. Several seniors around him looked even more embarrassed than him, and some of them had sweat on their faces.
In such hot weather, competitions are a great test for the players' physical strength and endurance.
"The third round of the Kokoen Competition, Seido High School competes to Shinkwang High School, and officially begins!"
With the announcement of the commentary, the competition officially began.
This game was the first attack of Seido High School baseball team.
The routine is similar to before, but this time it was a bit unexpected. The one who took the lead in the attack area was not the captain of Seido High School, and Kakuei Tanaka, known as the Seido offensive engine.
Instead, he replaced Tanaka's position.
The contestant was not tall and looked only about 1.6 meters tall. He squinted his eyes and could not see much expression on his face.
"Seidou High School Baseball Team, what the hell is this?"
"This is the last game of the group stage. If you win, you can advance to the quarterfinals. Is Seido High School crazy?"
The fans in the stands were confused at this time. They really didn't understand what medicine was selling in the Seido High School baseball team?
Could it be that they have given up on this game?
It shouldn't be!
Shin Kong's strength should be inferior to Seven Dora. At least judging from the games played by the two teams before, Shin Kong is not as good as Seven Dora.
It’s Shin-Kiang to give up, it’s no way to Sei-Dao!
Or does Seodo look down on Shinkwang, so he did not send all the main force up? This explanation seems a little more reasonable, but people still cannot accept it.
Seido is on the front line better than Shin Kong, and is not that much stronger. The two teams will play with all their strength, and the winner will be 46.
Seidou High School Baseball Team accounts for 60%, and Shinkwang accounts for 40%. If Seidou intends to let go, he may have all his advantages, and he will not have time to cry in the end.
They couldn't figure out why Seodou High School cut off its own arms and replaced Tanaka, one of the core players, to a little guy who looked very weak.
"Is he a high school student too?"
On the pitcher mound, Shifang, the pitcher from Shinkong High School, frowned and muttered.
In fact, that person is not very short. In a class in high school, there are always a few people around 1.6 meters tall, sitting in the front.
So this size is not that unbearable.
But that's the class after all, and it's different from the current situation.
Among baseball players, it is rare to see the size of the person in front of you.
Is he really OK? Didn’t the Seidou High School baseball team send me to tease me?
Before he knew it, a little contempt appeared in Shifang's eyes.
His expression was clearly visible to the man in the attack area.
"I'm despised!"
It was obviously the first time I stood on the stage of Jiaziyuan, but there was no tension in this man's heart.
He looked at the man on the pitcher mound calmly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
If someone looked down upon, if someone else was replaced, he might be furious. But the man in the attack area could not see anything at all. He just narrowed his eyes tighter, narrowed into a slit, and looked at his opponent in that slit.
This young man has always believed that when he can do something, try not to make noise.
No matter who the opponent is, the truth is the same.
His opponent, the pitcher Shifang, is the famous character. Among the national pitchers, his strength is also among the best. Today's game is also called the confrontation between spears and shields.
Shield refers to the super pitcher who controls five types of change balls.
On the other hand, the reason why he was asked to replace Tanaka was to deal with this strongest shield.
Here comes!
"call out!"
Shifang on the pitcher mound made his first goal very casually.
His completion is extremely high, not only mastering five sharp changing balls, but also having excellent ball speed and ball control.
"Bang!"
The first ball, Seido did not swing the baton.
The ball speed on the monitor is 138 kilometers. This ball speed may not be considered very fast, but it is definitely enough.
The ball possession position is also very good, at the edge of the outer corner.
It seems that it is obvious that bullying people. It is bullying Ryosuke Kokoto is short and it is difficult to get outside corner kicks.
"That's it!"
"Children, I still want to compete with our ace. Go home and have a drink of milk!"
In the stands, the supporters of Shinkong High School were smiling very happily.
From their perspective, Ryosuke Koko didn't even swing the baton for the ball just now, and he was obviously scared. In this case, they won the first one and were eliminated. Is there any question?
No! No doubt.
In today's game, victory is destined to belong to them. As for the media before the game started, most of the media were more optimistic about Seido, because they were completely blind.
What is the strongest line-up? That's because if you don't touch them, if you touch them, the so-called strongest line-up is just a joke.
The people from Shinkong High School are very proud.
In the rest area of Seidou High School, the friends were not very disappointed.
Although it was the first time that the small player was on the court, they all had great expectations.
They think that as long as the game continues, there will definitely be interesting things to happen.
On the contrary, those guys from Shinkong High School, who looked down on Ryosuke so underestimated, and didn’t know if they would feel particularly painful when they were slapped in the face.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
"nice shot!!!"
Two consecutive goals, without any bluff, all shot to the good ball.
Ryosuke Konori in the attack area seemed to be really scared. Facing these two balls, he did not wave the bat at all. He watched the baseball fly past his eyes, and remained indifferent.
Then, with almost no stop, the third ball from the ten directions flew over.
Chapter completed!
