A long time has passed.
The scene erupted again into deafening cheers.
The sound of terror.
It makes the players feel like they are in a stadium with a 10,000-peoplem
Visible!
Asad's home run!
What a shock it brought to the audience!
...
Perhaps it was the relationship between being blasted out of home run by Asad again.
The state of Mimensi's pitcher was completely shattered.
The ball thrown was even worse than before.
Wait until you finally make up enough for 3 eliminated people.
Mimensi in the fifth inning...
Already lost 25 points...
It can be said!
The gap between the two sides is so large that the immortals can't get it back!
...
Fifth inning.
Second half of the round.
Ignoring Sawamura's resentful gaze, Kataoka insisted that Kawakami replace Sawamura.
Shout! Bang!
Shout! Bang!
...
Kawakami's ball speed is not particularly fast.
But the ball is pretty good.
So I can perfectly throw myself in the position that Miyuki wants.
Coupled with the psychological defense of everyone in Mimensi, it was also affected by Asad's home run.
As a result, the performance becomes very poor.
...
When Mimensi's three hitters were eliminated.
The referee raised his right hand and shouted loudly at the same time:
"Game over!"
"63-0, seido wins!"
"Win!"
"Fantastic!"
"The pitchers held the game perfectly!"
"Cast beautifully!"
Seido's support group shouted happily.
"Huh? It's only been 5 innings and it's over? "
Sawamura was surprised.
"If the score difference is too large, you can end the game early."
Asad said with a smile.
"How big is the difference?"
Sawamura asked curiously.
"At the end of 5 innings, the difference reached 10."
Asad replied briefly.
"So..."
Sawamura nodded abruptly.
Then.
He ran to the pitch with the crowd.
That's when it was there.
Sawamura heard a cry coming from the Mimensi rest area.
Follow the prestige.
Sawamura saw Mimensi's coaches and players crying.
"This..."
The joy of winning slowly dissipates at this moment.
For some reason, Sawamura had a sad feeling.
"If it's us who lose..."
"Then we'll be like them..."
This moment.
Sawamura remembered the junior high school days, and the discomfort that filled his heart because of losing the game.
With this discomfort.
Sawamura followed Asad and walked into the team of seido.
On the other side of home plate, there were all the people in Mimensi.
"Salute!"
"Thank you for your advice!"
When the post-match ceremony is over.
The two walked up to each other and shook hands.
"Since we lost so badly, then we have no regrets."
"But you guys have to come on!"
"You must go to Koshien!"
Cheer in the face of Mimensi's encouragement.
Seido's response was only one sentence - we will definitely dominate the country!
So far!
The second round of Seido's competition is officially over!
Carrying a crushing victory, seido entered the third round!
...
Afternoon.
After returning to school.
Chris called Sawamura and Furuya aside for a reflection meeting.
"Although the first game is important."
"But both of you are pushing too hard."
"Furuya!"
"If you still throw like today, the opponent will only study you thoroughly, and then your high-speed straight ball will not be of any use!"
"Sawamura!"
"You performed well before you double-killed your opponent."
"But after that,you threw 4 bad balls in a row to send his opponent to base!"
"In other words..."
"Do you really know what control means?"
"..."
After some preaching.
Sawamura and Furuya are sweating profusely.
But Chris was right, and they couldn't argue with it.
"Grams... Senior Chris, where is Asad? "
"Why didn't this introspection call him over?"
In order to divert Chris's attention, Sawamura mentioned Asad.
"Asad's pitching is perfect, there is not the slightest problem, so there is no need to reflect like you."
Chris said bluntly.
"Speaking of Asad, I suddenly remembered
that when Asad first entered the team, he also had poor ball control, right?"
Miyuki suddenly said.
"But..."
"Months have passed!"
"Asad's ball control has changed from a weakness to a strength!"
"You two have been standing still!"
"Do you really practice ball control?"
In the face of Miyuki's questioning.
Sawamura and Furuya were speechless.
The practice of ball control must have been done...
But the number of exercises ...
Ahem...
The other side.
Rei Takashima and Coach Kataoka are touring the stadium.
As Takashima walked, he said, "Compared to spring, our offensive power has increased a lot. "
"But..."
"Asad's batting, where should I put it?"
"Judging from the previous performance, no matter how many times it is, Asad's performance is very good!"
Kataoka said in a deep voice, "I've been thinking about this too. "
"With Asad's striking ability, the probability of him sending runners to base/back to home plate is close to 100%, or even 100%, at least so far I haven't seen him miss a blow."
"If there is no one on the base, then his blow can make himself on the base."
"And then relying on super speed, you don't need the help of the hitter, and you can steal to third base."
"Next, as long as a teammate plays a passing roll, then he will definitely be able to return to home plate."
"But if you only put Asad in 1 stick, it is a waste of Asad's long-term playing ability!"
"In this year's practice tournament and official competition, Asad hit more home runs than Yuki!"
"So."
"According to my thinking, I would love to put him in a 4th."
After Takashima pondered for a moment, he said, "It's better to ask Asad." "
Kataoka shook his head: "I will asked him when he came back from his first medical examination at the hospital. "
"His answer was 1 stick."
"Tell the truth."
"1 is pretty good."
"Because of Asad's strike ability."
"It can affect the mentality of the opponent to the greatest extent."
"This will also allow seido's next offensive to continue more smoothly."
Rei Takashima smiled.
"I asked." "
"It's not asking him how many shots he wants to play."
"I wanted to ask him which of his long and short plays was stronger."
Kataoka was stunned for a moment.
"Seriously, we seem to know that he is strong in long and short plays."
"But which is stronger."
"It's not very clear yet."
"Go, go and ask now."
