Chapter 234 vs Ukusen 4
In fact, today is Hongo's real debut, but Hongo has always been sullen, so no one knows if this guy is a little bit excited.

"Oh~ Hongo was very energetic as soon as he started today." The audience was very enthusiastic: "The ball speed and height are especially suitable for standing on the pitcher's mound."

Some people who are familiar with him are even amused: "This boy from Hongo's family, when we were young, all the kids in our family were playing in the mud outside, but he was the only one playing with the ball. He's really awesome."

"But he defeated two batters with just 6 balls, which is awesome, and they all struck out!"

"The overall strength of Goo Mo is really great. I watched a lot of their practice games. They have quick tutorials and good arms. Now it seems that the pitchers are also very good. It's not just one finger, but the entire pitching group is very strong."

"Yes! In addition to Hong Kong, that blond foreigner is also very good!!"

Someone from the side chimed in and asked, "Which blonde? There are two of them! They're both amazing."

"I've only seen one, the ball is super fast!!"

"There is also a shorter guy with blond hair. His balls are very interesting~"

"what is it call?"

"Watakuji."

"Oh! Be sure to pay attention next time~"

"Look over there, Xingxiu's people~ I'll watch them in the next game, I heard the ball is very fast."

The audience on the side didn't take it seriously, they put their hands together and said, "The hometown is also very fast~"

……

Hongo, who was being talked about by the audience, was digging dirt on the pitcher's mound with his head down, preparing to face Ukumori's third batter.

Although it seems to others that he is still expressionless, only he himself knows how fast his heart is beating now!Fortunately, I didn't ask him to represent, otherwise I heard that he can measure the heartbeat~
Hongo touched his chest under the cover of his gloves~
boom!
boom! !

My heart is beating so fast, I can't stop it! !
He took a deep breath, but the blood in his body was still so excited that it was almost boiling...

Different from the previous exchange match, this time is a decisive match. If they fail to win, not only will there be no further opportunities this summer, but the rumors about the baseball center and Guma baseball club will also intensify.

In fact, he is not hiding his personality of worrying about gains and losses. On the contrary, he has always been very confident.Since his junior high school days, his ball speed and ball control ability have been far ahead of those in his class.Even... it can be said to be conceited.

He was so conceited that he felt that as long as he relied on himself, even if it was a team in the countryside, he could pull out a team that could break into Koshien.

But it wasn't until he entered high school and joined Gu Mo's baseball club that he realized that his thinking was too naive.

Not to mention the outstanding fielders on the team, the pitching staff... How come there are so many good pitchers gathered in a team from a rural school like Gumo?

Ball speed, ball control... each has its own characteristics, and they are not lost to themselves at all.

He even once had a relationship with himself that was too weak.

But looking at other teams, he feels that he is already very strong. It is actually quite distressing to be constantly swinging in this contradiction.

Of course, he was confident about this game, but he didn't understand why he chose to be today's starter in such an important game? !For him, Coach is the undisputed trump card! !
My feet scraped the soil next to the spikes on the spikes, and I raised my head to face Shen Yuan at the second base~
Oh~ Speaking of which, this brother he met for the first time in many years is also a monster.Although Shen Yuan is guarding second base at the moment, he is also a good pitcher...the ball speed is faster than his own, but he seems to only know fastball~
This made him wonder if his father had amazing baseball genes.But when I thought about how the opponent couldn't even hit the ball and was so slow, I couldn't say what the hell I was thinking about writing.At this moment, the two people's eyes met, and Shen Yuan smiled and made a two-out gesture: "Awesome!!"

Hongo turned around with a dark face and looked in the direction of home plate, his ears feeling a little hot!He is not a primary school student and does not need such praise.And he shouted so loudly~ Didn’t he look at the batter who was walking towards the strike zone and was stunned?

Before Shen Yuan came back, he had always acted as the eldest son of the family, but... he had never been praised so straightforwardly.

When Shen Qin at home plate saw him looking over, he clapped his glove and asked him for a 'four-seam fastball'.

Hongo's speedball was originally a Japanese straight ball. After adjustments at the center of the hemisphere, it became an American straight ball that follows a speed path and can run.

There will be a rapid lateral displacement to the right at the end~
However, his slider with a very high degree of co-orbit is going to the outside corner, so while the co-orbit is confusing, there are completely different displacement directions, which is indeed very troublesome for the hitter.

Shen Qin was half kneeling on his left leg, squatting there relaxedly, thinking that it might not be easy for him to hit such a straight ball well in high school.I have to say that Hongo is really amazing~ From spring to now, how long has it been adjusted? !

Hongo nodded, and squinted his eyes while adjusting his breathing... The sun was so beautiful today, and both his brother and the protector were wearing sunglasses, otherwise he felt that he would have to face that scorching gaze. .

When he landed with his free foot, the white ball was thrown out from his fingers and spun towards the home base!
Still very intimidating~
But the batter's bat came out at this moment...

The batter squinted his eyes: It’s hard to hit with a normal strike, but can’t he still hit with a short bat?

"when!!"

Accompanied by the unique hitting sound of a metal rod, the horizontal stick hit the ball~
However, due to the displacement, it was not the head of the club that hit the ball, but closer to the middle of the bat.

Although the batter's original intention is to steal, if he succeeds, he rushes to get on base, if not, he continues with the next ball, and the left and right are intimidating Gumo~
But who would have thought that he didn't hit the ball well, and the ball fell directly in front of the pitcher's mound.

"Ahhh!!" The batter yelled and rushed to first base! !Isn’t this too confusing? !

Hongo's speed down the bases was very fast, and he directly picked up the ball and passed it to first base~
Abe stepped forward and stretched out his hand~ The pass was precise, and he caught it very easily.

"Snapped!!"

Easy solution!

Three outs, three on and three down, 7 balls easily ended the first half of the inning.

Shen Qin stood up almost as soon as he got downhill in the countryside, and was about to walk aside and wait for the pitcher to touch his glove and give him a thumbs up. After all, unless he slipped, he would definitely win this half of the inning.

"#!!!!!"

But who would have thought that as soon as he opened his legs, he heard a loud roar from the pitcher's mound, and his whole body jumped up in fright~
What are you doing?

……

Shen Qin shook the goosebumps all over his body, and looked in the direction of the roar~ It shocked you, me and him! !Facial paralysis Hongo, what is this for? !

Hoo, hoo, he just yelled, and after yelling, he walked off the field as if nothing had happened, which was even more inexplicable.

As a result, the person's face suddenly returned to its original state, and he walked to the sidelines and went back to the lounge.

"(⊙_⊙)?!" Shen Qin blinked blankly, feeling helpless while taking off his protective gear~ It is actually very common for pitchers to yell a few words when they are excited, but most of them are in special cases.

For example, solving a batter with the bases loaded, the last inning with a small score difference, etc...

But it's just the beginning of the game.

Hongo doesn't seem like this type of player~ If you insist on relying on the first time, it doesn't make sense. After all, newcomers like to pretend to be calm, even if they are already swearing in their hearts. You still have to look calm and calm on your face.

Of course, he thought it was quite cute.

Shen Yuan's summary is more incisive: "So all the ruthlessness in the second phase are paper tigers? Fake?"

Coach was delighted: "Are you talking from experience?"

The whole family laughed as soon as this was said, because Shen Yuan was like this when he was that age.Always keep a straight face and act cool~ As soon as you leave the house, everyone will look at you with your chin, giving you an arrogant feeling.In fact, it's just a joke inside.

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to these people who started to laugh at him. He gave his cheap brother Hongo a little encouragement and went up to get ready with the bat. After all, the exchange of offense and defense didn't take long, so even if He wanted to talk, but he didn't have enough time.

As the second player, Shen Qin also went up with a bat. Today, the family of them are all holding colorful bats. After all, there are many audiences and media at the scene, so they can take this opportunity to make a publicity.

Shen Yuan greased the bat, then handed it to Shen Qin, and then put the weight on his own bat, wishing he could turn the bat over and show everyone the panda's head on the bottom of the bat.He has a big box of patches like this, and each one is super cute.

But Shen Qin doesn't like this, because every face of Yuanyuan's panda patch is flushed. In his opinion, panda black and white is already invincibly cute.

"I didn't expect to see a slider at the high school level. I'm really looking forward to it." Shen Yuan is a little excited at the moment. These 'old' baseball players like the kids who like to play the most~ What's more, these kids not only I like to play, and all of them play very well.

Shen Yuan smiled and said: "In my entire career, I have only played sliders with two players, but I have not played with a single player."

"Normally, this ball is difficult to practice. If it is not matched well, it will be difficult to achieve long-term effects. I have only played with one person~" Shen Qin said with a smile: "But it is indeed suitable for Mei Gong. His ball speed It's not fast at first~ If you want to develop professionally in the future, multi-ball is good~ But after watching the previous videos of them and Wang Gu, I think it's good for him to take the route of specializing in hitting. He has a good figure and looks explosive. Not bad, geez, I really want to get his data.”

Shen Yuan took off the weighted ring: "Isn't it already there after this competition? It's just that the sample size is a little smaller."

As I said that, I went to the field~
Offensive and defensive exchanges, the second half of 1 inning.

Shen Yuan walked up the strike zone and looked towards the pitcher's mound~
Speaking of which, Mei Gong is really a typical player at this stage with a rather outstanding figure.At this age, there are actually many people who are over 1 meters tall. Even in this country where the average height is not very high, there are always some children who can draw bars very quickly.

But pumping represents rapid growth, usually in this case, if there is no corresponding exercise and diet to keep up quickly.Then it is easy to become a thin bamboo pole.

The Huajing on the team was like this before. It was hard to raise some meat in the past six months.

But Mei Gong is well-raised~ Or, Mei Gong is the best figure he has seen in this world at this level~
Even Hongo was a little 'thin' when we first met.

Tsk tsk~ Look at Mei Gong, this leg, this butt~
Umenomiya shivered on the pitcher's mound. He always felt that the second baseman's eyes looked a little strange.

Shen Yuan was very friendly, and even smiled back, who would have thought that when the other party's plane bounced in the head, he would turn his head away again.

"Forehead……"

Classmate, your hairstyle is very handsome, and your personality is also very cool! !

Thinking back to myself in high school again, probably... really annoying? !
Standing on the mound helplessly, he shook his bat at Mei Gong: "Don't shoot the fastball."

……

Shen Yao in the lounge held his forehead and poked Coach: "The style of play he plays now is quite annoying, isn't it?"

"Haha~"

Shen Yao muttered: "No wonder people used to say that he always likes to take the initiative to provoke."

……

In fact, Shen Yuan himself did not have the consciousness of being provocative, he just saw interesting children and wanted to tease them.But it is obvious that Mei Gong is not an ordinary child, and is even a particularly difficult one among them.

oppression?Cruel? ?He's the one at the top.

Maybe some pitchers would feel a lot of pressure because Shen Yuan and the others were standing in the strike zone~ but that person definitely couldn't be Umenomiya.

Mei Gong held the ball in his hand, squinted at Shen Yuan~ the smile on his face looked a little...

Shen Yuan blinked~ Can't find a suitable adjective?Just feel a bit fierce?
But regardless of whether the enemy is fierce or not, the stick still has to be hit!Besides, Mei Gong is quite handsome, how can he be scary?God knows that he faced the authentic shoehorn face when he was playing professionally, and he didn't scare the duck!

However, as today's first hitter, his task is very critical, not only can't hit passionately, but also has to face the hitter seriously.

The main purpose is to get a few more balls and touch the referee's strike zone.Let the children in the later stages of the next stage be able to accurately screen.

Huh? !

A speedball coming from the front~
Shen Yuan smiled...

The inner angle is low, about 2/3 more balls than the strike zone~
"boom!"

"The outside world!!"

ha!I said I was good at playing fastball, but the other party would play fastball, not bad~
Turn around and ask the referee: "If I didn't swing the ball just now, would you call a strike or a pass?"

The chief judge was stunned~This...

It's not that it's difficult to answer, but it's been a long time since anyone asked him this question.

These days, even in professional baseball, no matter how old the qualifications are, players generally don't question or consult the head referee, let alone raise the middle level.

So when I was asked this question out of the blue today, I still didn't react. After a while, I nodded: "It will be a good shot..."

"clear."

The chief judge stared, what do you understand?
