Volume 3: Hot Summer Chapter 031 The Sorrow of Qingshan High School
Qingshan High School did not collapse after falling behind in the score.
Instead, they let go completely.
At the beginning, when they played against the Qingdao High School baseball team, the players of Qingshan High School were very cautious. But now that they were behind in the score, they were a bit reckless and acted recklessly.
They were very bold both in attack and defense.
From the perspective of the Seidou High School baseball team, if they just wanted to win safely.
So at this time we must absolutely not follow the pace of Qingshan High School.
For Qingshan, at this time they can only mess up the situation and then take advantage of the situation.
Only in this situation do they have a slight chance to reverse the game.
As for Qingdao, as long as they can maintain their current advantage, they are basically sure to win.
In this case, there is absolutely no need for them to go crazy with Aoyama High School.
But Qingdao High School did not choose this safest approach.
In other words, they have no way to choose the safest approach.
If the opponent is the city's third high school or Daocheng Industry, Qingdao High School can naturally use every means as long as they win in the end.
But if the opponent is someone else, the giants will not do that because they cannot afford to lose that person.
They have no choice but to use such cowardly tactics against grassroots teams.
So they have to attack, so they can't be cowardly, they can only fight.
The audience soon discovered that the pace of the game had quickened.
In the top of the third inning, Hidezawa struck out two batters and forced Aoyama's eighth batter to hit a ground ball.
The condition is as good as ever.
Following closely behind, Qingshan High School was not to be outdone.
They no longer hid their strength. Xifeng Lie and Kujo teamed up to make the batters of Qingdao High School baseball team go up and down three times.
For a time, the two sides were evenly matched.
If the game continues at this pace, it will basically be a test for pitchers on both sides.
See who can hold out.
In the lounge area.
Coach Kataoka looked at the third-year players from the city university on the stage and made adjustments to the lineup.
The ace pitcher Hidezawa, who had performed perfectly, was replaced by Jun Isashiki as the outfielder.
The pitcher was replaced by Danbo.
Isajiki Jun, who had a mustache, was unwilling to do that.
There are also three people who have just joined the first team and got the main numbers.
Kazuya Miyuki has already secured the position of the main catcher of the Seidou High School baseball team.
When Chris was just injured, many people were optimistic about the third-year player Masuda and the second-year player Miyauchi.
I think no matter how we rank them, it will not be the turn of the first-year students.
But now, basically no one mentions Masuda's name anymore.
Everyone is optimistic about Yuki!
Another newcomer, Zhang Han, has two home runs, two hits, and one walk so far.
And, six RBIs.
His performance in the batter's box was second only to fourth batter Higashi Seikoku and even better than fifth batter Yuki.
On the other hand...
So far, the performance has not been very good either in hitting or in defense.
Although there were also times when he had hits and performed well.
But compared with the other two newcomers, the gap is frighteningly large.
If he continues like this, it will be difficult for him to maintain his position as a main player.
This can also be seen from the arrangements made by Director Kataoka.
In order to retain Hidezawa's strength, coach Kataoka replaced him from the pitching position.
The person who was replaced was Jun Isashiki, not Gao Junming.
This is very telling.
To put it bluntly, doesn't Coach Kataoka think that Jun Isashiki is now the weakest link of the Seidou High School baseball team?
The third high school student at the city university also realized the profound meaning of Coach Kataoka.
In fact, at this time Kataoka was already very sure that Seidou would win this game.
Even Kataoka was no longer thinking about this game, his eyes were already on the next game.
The third high school in the city!
That is the real enemy of the Seidou High School baseball team.
The players from the city's top three high schools did not leave just because Qingdao began to reserve its strength.
They gained a lot from watching the game this time.
Xiu Ze's condition, Zhang Han's attack...
All of them brought great surprise to the city’s top three high schools.
It was undoubtedly a great fortune for the city's third high school to be able to discover these things before the game with the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Otherwise, if they met Qingdao without knowing the situation, Coach Tahara would not have the confidence to lead the city's top three high schools to the end.
In this case , they certainly hope to get more intelligence.
They also sincerely hope that Qingshan University can be more powerful.
Put more pressure on Qingdao High School.
It would be best if the Seidou High School baseball team could capsize here.
Then they are so lucky!
But unfortunately, Qingshan High School is destined to be unable to meet the wishes of the city’s top three high schools.
When the game reached the fourth inning, Qingshan High School reached a small climax.
While Seidou was changing pitchers, Tamba, who had just come on the field, had not yet fully adapted to the rhythm of the game.
The second player successfully reached base.
No one is out and there is a runner on first base.
Later, with , Tamba adjusted himself.
And successfully dealt with the second and third batons from Qingshan High School.
The situation became, two outs, a runner on second base. (Nijo took the opportunity to advance one base.)
It was the fourth batter's turn to bat, and the west wind was strong.
Carrying the expectations of the entire Qingshan High School team.
At this time, Xifeng Lie increased his concentration by 120%.
After two balls of struggle, the third ball finally came from Tamba's straight ball.
Xi Fenglie attacked fiercely.
“Ping!”
The small white ball flew over Zhang Han's head and into the outfield.
Hidezawa, who had just replaced Jun Isashiki, was unable to stop the ball in time.
All I could do was watch the baseball pass through.
“It went through!!”
The players from Qingshan High School were extremely excited, as if it was New Year's Day.
Nijo, who was at second base, drove straight back to home plate and helped Aoyama High School score the first point.
The score on the field became 2:1.
The performance of Qingshan High School cannot be said to be inferior.
Even the supporters of Seidou High School baseball team applauded their tenacity.
The referee allowed them to celebrate for about 10 seconds before continuing the game.
It looks like everything is moving in the right direction.
The players from Qingshan High School were also greatly encouraged.
They have no intention of .
But it is precisely in such an atmosphere that the sadness of Qingshan High School is more clearly highlighted.
Even though the score is 2:1, even though their performance has been comparable to that of Seidou High School up to now.
But except Xifeng Lie, no player from Qingshan High School thought they could win the game.
In fact, including Xifeng Lie, everyone knew very clearly how big the gap between the two sides was.
The reason why he didn't give up was simply because of his own character.
It’s not because of his rational judgment of the game.
