Chapter 180 Chapter 32
The next time they meet Daoshi, besides next year's autumn conference, the most likely time is Summer Jiashien, but they have to beat Didong to qualify.This difficulty was no less than their defeat of Dao Shi without both Su Qing and Cheng Gongming playing fish off the court.
In the end, Nanbo Matsubara put the notebook down again, obviously not planning to deal with this problem. Anyway, Ukumori hitters have a strong desire to swing and sometimes swing bad balls.
Tadano's technique is not used a few times at all.
After being struck out with five sticks, Mei Gong's expression was no longer as arrogant and comfortable as before.
He knew that going on like this would not work, opportunities were being wasted time and time again, and Dao Shi showed no signs of panic.Perhaps they can indeed consume slowly and wait for Hirano to start to go downhill, but once Hirano starts to go downhill, the score is so tight.
The pitcher who will be replaced, Mei Gong knows who it is without even thinking about it.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, even if Umemiya is arrogant, he has to admit the power of Narimiya Naru. This generation's number one pitcher at Neon High School is definitely not something that Ukusen can solve, unless he blows himself up. .
But the possibility of this is really too low. Matsubara wanted to alienate the relationship between Inomi's shooting and catching, because Tadano didn't look like a strong catcher at first sight, and Cheng Gongming was so proud. Those who watched him play Everyone knows.
Since the autumn competition, Tadano and Narimiya have not matched up. Whether this strategy can be successful or not, in fact, Matsubara is also retreating in his heart.And Tadano's excellent performance in this game also made Matsubara even more confused.
Even though he knew that their chances of defeating him were slim, Mei Gong still wanted to win!Want to win this arrogant Daoshi, who doesn't even take small teams like them seriously!
He wants to prove that there is absolutely no shortage of dark horses in this world!
But if they continue to entangle like this, they will not be far from losing.
Now that he's out, he's standing in the scoring circle, but he doesn't expect the rest of Ukumori's hitters to get him back.
However, if he can steal third base, he can score this point by forcing a score!
Mei Gong's foot left the base slowly again, but his eyes kept staring at Tadano. Even now their goal has not changed, and that is to defeat the weakest but also the most important point of this rice seed!
As long as Tadano is in chaos, no matter how strong Daoshi's other players are, they will be out of control in terms of defense.After all, catchers are the brains on the court!
If he succeeds in stealing bases, not only will he have the opportunity to score another point for Ukumori to tie the score, but he can also deal a heavy blow to Tadanoki. This kind of thing that kills two birds with one stone, Umemiya will not give up anyway.
"I want to steal a base again. Without the cooperation of the batter, do you really think it is so easy to steal a base?"
Su Qing glanced at Mei Gong, who was about to move, and knew what he wanted to do.
Ume Gong's ability to steal bases is indeed strong, but it is also inseparable from the support of hitters. If no hitters use tactics to threaten Tada, Ume Gong's success in stealing bases is completely dreaming.
At this time, Ukumori's supervisor did not give any instructions, which means that Mei Gong wanted to steal a base, and the hitter probably didn't know it.
Without a hitter to make trouble, Mei Gong still wants to steal third base, which is completely to send Dao Shi out!
Under Umemiya's gaze, Tadano could not remain indifferent. He looked at Umemiya as if he were a fool. He had never seen such an arrogant runner steal a base.
People's stealing bases are always secretive and secretive, and they can't wait to play defense to catch them by surprise.
Fortunately, Mei Gong, it's almost written on my face that I want to steal a base!
Tadano signaled again and asked Hirano to throw a diversionary ball, forcing Umemiya back to second base. He repeated the diversionary ball three times and Umemiya finally became less arrogant.
However, Tadano was still very steady with a bad ball from the inside corner to prevent Meigong from stealing bases.
But during the whole pitching process, Meigong was very obedient and kept not far from the second base.
Naturally, Tadano would not believe that Umemiya had changed his gender. Nature is easy to change but hard to change. The reason why he was so good was that he had to wait patiently for the opportunity.
Preventing May Palace from stealing bases is important, as is addressing hitters.
Although he only pitched 6 innings, Hirano's ball count has already exceeded [-]. Both the straight ball and the change ball are a little weak. If he doesn't let him go to the last bat, he won't be caught so easily by Umemiya.
In fact, it is best to change pitches at this time, but Supervising Guoyou obviously did not have this idea, and none of Daoshi's pitchers were called to warm up.
This is why Tadano had to start using a lot of framing techniques. It is already difficult for pitchers to deal with batters by themselves.
Maybe Meigong's attempt to steal a base at this time is not a bad thing for Daoshi. The possibility of Meigong's failure in stealing bases is far greater than the possibility of success. Ruined Ukumori's great scoring opportunity to get someone in the circle.
A light flashed in Tadano's eyes. Now that the plan has been made, the next step is to make attractive bait for the fish to bite.
As soon as Tadano stretched out his hand, he quickly typed out the new password.
Tadano asked for a high curveball, and the speed of the curveball was only slightly higher than that of the changeup.May Palace would have thought he had let his guard down when he saw him hit the curveball.
And when he starts running with confidence, that's the best time to catch him!
However, Tadano is still a little worried. If Meigong starts off with this ball, it will be a little dangerous.
However, Mei Gong still chose to wait and see for this ball. He did not choose to start at the first moment of the pitcher's throw. He missed this best opportunity and there was absolutely no reason to continue to start.
Instead, the hitter swung his stick against the high curve ball. Fortunately, Hirano's level was still there this time, and the ball finally fell down successfully, passing the hitter's bat.
"nice ball!"
Tadano stood up and threw the ball back to Hirano without even looking at Umemiya.
Mei Gong was actually a little anxious at this time. He had to get to third base before the hitter was cornered, otherwise it would be no different from choosing to force a score with two outs.
And Tadano seems to be starting to let his guard down.
Umemiya pretended to be moving to third base as usual, and immediately started running when the pitcher released the ball.
Hearing the urgent call from the second base, Tadano smiled. The fish was hooked so quickly, and he still had a lot of tempting operations to do.
The hitter wanted to cover for Mei Gong and interfere with the catcher's operation, but he didn't expect that the ball only went to a low angle off third base.
And there, Tadano had been waiting for a long time, and the moment he received the ball, he bounced and passed it to third base.At this time, even if there is a distance from the base, Mei Gong has just run less than half.
And Tadano's pass to third base was very fast. When Umemiya was more than two meters away from third base, the third baseman stretched out his hand holding the ball to assassinate Umemiya.
How could Umemiya be willing to give in so easily? Immediately, he came to a sudden stop and started running back. Yabe was not stupid, and directly chose to pass the ball to Shirakawa. Turning around, Shirakawa passed the ball to Yabe.
Bai He knew in his heart that at this time the last thing to do was to be in a hurry, the best choice was to reduce the moving distance of Mei Gong bit by bit.
Fortunately, Tadano was not stupid this time, and quickly came to third base to fill in after Meigong changed direction, otherwise Shirakawa would have to scold him for his end!
Seeing that he had nowhere to go, Umemiya rushed to the third base desperately, trying to bypass Yabe, but the path was so wide that he couldn't go around if he wanted to. In the end, Yabe easily touched Umemiya's sleeve with his gloves, and then ignored it. Meigong continued to pounce on third base.
May Gong fell on the third base bag, but in the end all that awaited him was an out from the linesman.
Meigong gritted his teeth and got up, his eyes turned red when he looked at Tadano. If he still doesn't understand that he was played by Tadano at this time, then he is really out of his mind.
Tadano was really startled by Umemiya's red eyes at first, but when he thought about it carefully, what was he afraid of? He didn't do anything wrong. They were opponents on the court. As long as he didn't violate the rules, he could use any method. It is not wrong to use any means to deal with Mei Gong.
So Tadano stared back.What are you looking at?The defeated one?
Meigong didn't expect Tadano to have the courage to stare back at him, and immediately came up angrily.
The line referee saw that the atmosphere of the two players was not right, and there was a possibility of a fight.Hastily said loudly.
"Runner quickly off the field, catcher back to home plate, game on!"
When Mei Gong saw someone fighting, he wanted to give the person who was fighting, but you meddle in his own business?In the end, when he saw that it was a line judge, his anger disappeared instantly.
If players don't compete with referees, they will only suffer losses.
So Mei Gong walked away step by step.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, so angry! !A good opportunity was wasted by him like this! ! !He will definitely be scolded by Nanpeng when he goes back, for sure!
Mei Gong went back to the rest area anxiously, ready to receive a scolding from the supervisor and Nanpeng Matsubara.Unexpectedly, not only did the supervisor not mention him, but after returning to the lounge, Matsubara Nanpeng handed him a glass of water.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Mei Gong took the water in a daze, won't you scold him?He wasted such a good opportunity?
"Take a good rest, we still count on you to continue to work hard."
"Uh-huh."
Mei Gong took a careful sip of water, and as soon as he sat down, someone immediately brought a towel and put it on him.
"Daoshi's pitcher is already at the end of his strength. In fact, if you wait patiently, our people will definitely be able to send you back. Don't be so anxious."
It's coming, it's coming.
"You've used a lot of balls, don't fight so hard next, rest when it's time to rest, otherwise I'm really afraid you won't make it to the end of the game."
"With your previous training camp, how could my strength be exhausted so quickly? I have no problem at all and I can definitely last another 9 rounds."
Matsubara shook his head.The current situation is really unfavorable to them, not in the score, but in the pitcher. Although Daoshi's pitcher is going to be unstoppable, he has three seats on the bench, and he can change as he wants. They It is true that there is no change, and once Mei Gong is changed, they will basically lose half of their lineup.
It can be said that this is the last chance, and Daoshi is likely to change pitchers.Unless the pitcher Dao Shi is worse than this one is replaced, they basically have no chance.
Tada, who squatted back to the back of the home plate, is very cool now, ha, call you arrogant!Plant it on my hands!
Now with two outs and no one on base, the pressure on the pitcher is not so great all of a sudden. Although there is a distance from the mound, Tadano can still feel that Hirano's expression is no longer so tense, and his whole body is relaxed.
That being the case, let's get rid of the beater in one go!
"Strike!"
The hitter is empty again, Yo Xi, this time it's two strikes.
As soon as Tadano moved his small hand, the final code was typed out, and he hammered his glove hard. Tadano was undoubtedly full of confidence in the result.
In fact, if Tadano looked at the expression of the batterer, he would find that the batterer didn't feel being chased at all, he was calm and composed, and even glanced at Tadano.
Inashi’s catcher likes to use the tiebreaker to solve the opponent when there are two strikes, and the most powerful pitcher for this pitcher is the changeup. If you don’t know the type of ball, it is really difficult to hit the changeup. Yes, it is no different from feeding cake balls.
What Matsubara said echoed in the batter's mind, and he just held the bat and waited patiently.
Changeup!
"Pong!"
Sure enough it is!
The moment the ball was hit, the hitter started running quickly, unwilling to waste any time, and Tadano took off his helmet in shock, watching Carlos, right fielder and second baseman running on the field.
Got hit again. Seen through
Although he didn't catch the ball, Tadano could see the trajectory of the changeup clearly. There was nothing wrong with this changeup, which meant that his distribution was seen through.
When Tadano was stunned, the runners had already crossed first base and headed for second base. Ukumori's players were very greedy, and as long as there was a slight chance, they would head for the next base.
At this moment in the right field, the fast-legged Carl Ross picked up the ball first. Looking back, the runner was running towards the second base and immediately passed the ball.
We must catch up!
Most of the time the ball runs faster than people, but that is in the case of short distances, and Carl Rose is a bit too far from the second base.
The runner slipped his foot and landed on the second base. At this time, Baihe had just received the baseball returned by Carlos, and he touched the runner with some unwillingness, hoping that he would rush over his head, leave the base bag, and be tagged by himself , but this kind of low-level mistake is not particularly panicked, how could a runner make it.
The double hit after two outs, if Meigong hadn't been out just now, the score may have been tied by now.
"For now, pause."
Tadano plucked up his courage, asked the referee for a timeout, and walked up to the mound. When Shirakawa and the others saw Tadano on the mound, they also gathered on the mound.
"Sorry, I'm a bit out of control."
Hirano touched his head and said embarrassedly.
"No, Hirano-kun's pitching is great! It was my distribution that was seen through, and I will find a way to change the distribution strategy next."
Tadano still won't shirk the blame that should be blamed, but this is not the purpose of his calling this timeout.
Although it is indeed his fault this time, it is also true that Hirano's pitching level has declined because of his physical strength.
Tadano hopes that Supervisor Kunitomo can replace Hirano to rest, and if Hirano continues to vote, it is really possible that Ukumori will overtake the score.
But he didn't have the courage to tell Supervisor Guoyou, so he called a timeout very schemingly, hoping to make Baihe and the others realize that Hirano's physical strength was no longer enough.
