Chapter 187
"...In this way, in this cartoon-like game, the Chiyoda High School Field Football Club, which was only established for one year, defeated the Nippon University junior who had dominated the country three times, and successfully entered the finals of the Nishi Tokyo Players Rights Conference. In the finals, Chiyoda
Will compete with Waseda Industrial High School, this school
The school once produced superstars like home run king Sadaharu O, and now they also have the well-known player Shintaro Kiyomiya. Kiyomiya hit 107 home runs in the just-concluded semifinals and became the all-Japan home run leader.
The college student with the most..."
The TV kept broadcasting news about Arata and Chiyoda, so that it took the Furuta family twice as long as usual to finish breakfast.
Probably because the Bon Festival is approaching, the number of people who care about Koshien has increased significantly these days. According to the quota allocated by the conference, the Tokyo area has two qualifying places. And Chiyoda is only one step away from getting the right to compete in the Nishi-Tokyo Conference.
The last battle remains.
After breakfast, Arata arrived at the school accompanied by Liangzi. However, when they arrived in front of the school, they found that the place had been surrounded by reporters.
In front of the main entrance of the school, the teachers used warning tape to create an entry and exit passage, and the team members who arrived here were surprised and hurried into the school under a flash of lights.
"Arata, you must work hard in the next game!"
"Thank you, thank you for your support!"
"What do you think of Kiyomiya? He just broke the Japanese high school home run record!"
"Arata, do you still have contact with Miyazawa Masami? Did she congratulate her on reaching the finals after the last game..."
…
Faced with these trap questions from reporters, Arata just hurriedly said sorry and walked quickly into the school gate. Although Majiang did send him a congratulatory message yesterday, this kind of thing is not a reporter's
We can know that. After all, both parties’ offices have reached a unanimous decision to seal the matter.
However, since these media who came to interview had obtained the interview rights of the Asahi Shimbun, it was naturally unacceptable to give no response. Therefore, Ushijima-senpai simply left it to the manager of the field team, Kato Aya, to handle this kind of matter.
…
"I really didn't expect that all of us would actually reach the finals. It feels like a dream!"
"Hahaha……"
In the lounge, everyone was still immersed in yesterday's victory. When they thought about the four teammates who played in the last game and eliminated Ri Dasan with long hits, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Okay, I think yesterday's game will be enough for all of you to remember for a lifetime. But in the next game, our opponent is Waseda Industries, which is a completely different team from our previous enemies. Because in the next game
On the field, we will experience the strongest line so far!"
"Supervisor, you mean Shintaro Kiyomiya?"
"Yes, it's Kiyomiya! In the last game, Koichi Kotani has found a way to restrain the floating ball. I think Hayami's supervision cannot ignore our game, and Kiyomiya will definitely find a way to hit the new ball."
Too much floating ball. So,
In defense, I hope the pitchers can make more changes in pitching. Try to prevent Qing Gong from taking advantage of his long-hitting advantage. If necessary, we can also choose to walk Qing Gong with four bad balls like the juniors did in the last game, and then think about it.
Find a way to kill him..."
Hearing that the supervisor paid so much attention to the strong hitter Shintaro Kiyomiya among his opponents, everyone couldn't help but take a closer look at this high school student who had hit 107 home runs. However, when they thought about going to Osaka for another game, everyone couldn't help but
Curb your desire to win this game.
…
"Arata!"
After Director Ushijima reminded everyone of the arrangements for the next game, he asked everyone to recover physically. Only Arata was left alone by Director Ushijima.
"Supervision!"
"If I guess correctly, you have mastered three attack methods now!"
"Eh?"
"Four-seam fastball, floating ball, diagonal straight ball..."
"Uh...hey!"
"Then have you ever thought about trying to combine these pitching skills? Although curveballs are still a bit difficult, if you can make full use of these weapons you have now, you may not be able to catch your opponent off guard. For example, in
Adding a floater to two straight balls, or mixing a diagonal straight ball and a floater to confuse the batter, so that he can't figure out your ball path..."
"Supervise...I..."
"New Tai, you are the core of this team. As long as you can firmly support the team's defense, everyone can attack the opponent with more confidence! Well, why don't we give it a try..."
As Supervisor Ushijima said, he picked up the bat and walked slowly to home plate, then motioned for Ono to come over and assist them.
"Alright Arata, now I am the opponent you will face in the next game, Kiyomiya. How do you plan to attack?"
Seeing Ushijima getting ready to hit, Arata threw a floater without hesitation.
pity!
"Crack!"
Director Ushijima swung his bat and hit the ball without hesitation.
"This... how did you supervise this? You don't have one foot..."
"New Tai, now the float ball has become your signature ball. I'm afraid everyone thinks your ball is a float ball! I have already adjusted the center of gravity in a concealed way before swinging the bat. If you had just thrown
If the ball is a diagonal straight ball, I will be unable to hit the ball because my center of gravity shifts forward. So, what are you going to do with the next ball?"
Ushijima took out another ball from his pocket and threw it to Arata. Arata received the ball, hesitated for a moment, and then sent a diagonal ball.
This time, Ushijima suddenly strode forward and swung the bat vigorously again.
"Crack!"
With a muffled sound, the ball was knocked out again.
"I just told you about the diagonal ball, so I concluded that you would throw it like this. If you throw a fast ball that attacks the outside of the strike zone, maybe I won't be able to hit it! So what are you going to do next?"
After hearing the supervisor's words, Arata fell into thinking again. Ushijima took out another wild ball from his pocket and threw it to him. After Arata caught the ball, he only hesitated for a moment, and then raised it seriously.
He raised his arms.
"Whoa!"
"Crack!"
There was only a muffled sound, but Supervisor Ushijima suddenly knelt down on the ground in pain, clutching his stomach. Seeing this, Arata hurriedly ran towards Ushijima.
"Supervisor! Supervisor! I'm so sorry!"
