Chapter 173: Like Real Men!

On the Press Box.

Owada Akiko stared and said suspiciously, "The Komadai's reaction is also very severe, it seems that they don't intend to lose a single point."

"They probably have a judgment in their hearts. In this game, once the score falls behind, they will be powerless." Fujio replied

Saying that, Fujio looked up and saw Sawamura, who was ready to steal base.

'I didn't expect that Sawamura-kun would put so much pressure on the Komadai!'

Can anyone imagine how desperate the Komadai players are when facing Sawamura's pitching to make such a judgment?

The people at Komadai High School were extremely nervous. And the members of Seidou High School were not much better.

Coach Kataoka frowned, looking at the situation on the field with a headache.

In fact, even if the players of Komadai High School are advancing and defending, the tactic of bunting and walking the runners is not impossible to use.

However, this tactic has a premise, that is, the batter's bunt skills must be good enough, and the runner's speed must be fast enough.

From these two aspects, Sawamura is okay, and so is Isashiki, But also not outstanding enough.

The speed of Sawamura's running with all his strength is not slow, but the speed of the start is average, making the time for him to run from third base to home base larger.

Besides, Isashiki's bunts were just average in Seidou High School.

And the opponent adopted the forward defense, and the probability of successfully completing the task was not particularly high.

That way, it's better to…

Thinking that Coach Kataoka gave a sign to the players on the field for the second time.

Isashiki Jun breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the sign. The bunt bat was retracted, and he assumed a normal hitting position.

'If it is a face-to-face fight, Seidou High School is not afraid of you!'

Seeing that Seidou High School changed its strategy, the players of Komadai High School were also greatly relieved.

Although they have adopted a strong attitude, they themselves are not sure about that kind of confrontation.

In this case, it might be better to confront Seidou High School head-on.

Win or lose, there is nothing to say.

Isashiki Jun retracted his bat, and neither did the infielder at Komadai High. On the one hand, they are afraid of cheating by Seidou High School, and on the other hand, they are confident in their Ace's Screwball.

But their performance made Isashiki Jun's nose crooked with anger.

'Oi! Do you dare underestimate this uncle?'

'Do you really think that Jun-sama is a weak chicken?!'

The beard-senpai cocked his mouth and pulled away the entire batting form. The eyes are firmly locked on the pitcher, the bat in his hand, ready to lash at any time.

Nitta on the Pitcher's mound felt like his heart was on a roller coaster from excitement.

This kind of invisible confrontation, the absolute trust of his teammates in him, and the aggressiveness of Seidou High School. Every little movement stirred his heart and made him unable to stop his smile.

In the end, the two sides chose a result that everyone agreed with, and they were ready to fight head-to-head.

"Like real men!"

'So let's get started!'

After Nitta let out a long breath, he used all his strength to throw the ball.

Whoosh!

Like a shooting star, the white ball appeared above the home plate in an instant.

Isashiki was also unwavering, and the bat in his hand directly slammed the ball.

Ping!

After the white ball was hit, it soared forward of the field abruptly.

"FOUL!"

"Come at me BRAT!!!"

Isashiki Jun, who hit the foul ball, was roaring.

At the batting, Isashiki Jun looked like he was trying his best.

Inexplicably everyone was getting excited from the face-off.

"Jun-san!"

"Come on, you can do it!!"

"Growl, Spitz!"

"It's up to you, Isashiki!!"

The Seidou fans cheered, and the band started playing 'Uchuu Senkan Yamato' more enthusiastically.

On the strike zone, the expression on Isashiki's face became more and more hideous.

At this moment, his entire aura soared to its peak.

Confronting such an opponent, even the pitcher of Komadai Fujimaki High School, can't help but feel danger in his mind.

'Very dangerous!'

Inexplicably, he felt danger. This was his pitcher instinct. There was no reason for it.

Biting the tip of his tongue lightly, Nitta pulled himself away from this strange feeling.

His eyes grew firmer.

There is no doubt that now is a huge crisis at Komadai High. As the Ace of the team, he must lead his teammates to get through, otherwise, the dream of Komadai Fujimaki will probably end here at the last step.

'Absolutely not allowed!'

Nitta's pitching hand twisted in a strange form, and at this moment, he pitched and increased the spin of the Screwball to the extreme.

Isashiki on the strike zone, his eyes became extremely sharp and focused.

He also knows the importance of this swing, and he clearly knows the result of this swing is even directly related to the results of the game.

In his heart, he hoped that he could show something as soon as possible and help Sawamura to share the pressure.

But when he really swung it, all these miscellaneous thoughts were thrown into the back of her mind.

"When you are in the game, you must concentrate on the game!"

This is what Coach Kataoka told him again and again. In the three years at Seidou High School, he has always thought and done so.

Now facing the opponent, facing the situation that decides the victory or defeat.

He still does.

Swing the bat like before, give it your all as you did before.

The bat left an afterimage of its movement, hitting the white ball with precision.

Ping!

The hit ball flew steadily, and the ball did not fly high or low just right. It's just that there are some problems with the orientation. This small white ball appears directly in front of the outfielder Enjou Renji.

Yuuki at first base and Sawamura at third base were all ready to stare at the ball.

"More than 50 meters, there is a chance!"

The third base running instructor looked at the ball and whispered to Sawamura Eijun.

Although it seems that the speed of the baseball is lacking and it is about to land, the distance has already exceeded 50 meters. Whether it is the outfielder catching it or the baseball land, Sawamura has the opportunity to run back to home plate with this distance.

"Um!"

Sawamura nodded secretly.

In his mind, he silently calculated the speed and position of Renji and the baseball.

'There is a high probability to be caught!'

With this mental preparation, Sawamura quietly returned to third base, so that after Renji received the ball, he could start directly.
