On the morning of July 14, Tianjin Municipal Stadium.

The players of the two teams have arrived in the stadium and are warming up on the field. Supporters and passers-by are also slowly entering the field.

The Tsushi City Municipal Stadium is located in Tsushi City in the central part of Mie Prefecture. It just so happens that the Tsushi Town where Shirayama High School is located is located, which is within the administrative scope of Tsushi City.

All matches of the Triple Conference were held at four designated neutral stadiums, namely Kasuga No. 1, Tsuga City Stadium, Prefecture Matsusaka Stadium and Ise City Stadium.

Siri City, where Yori City South High School is located, is located in the northern part of Mie Prefecture. Although it is not far from Tsu City, it is still barely equivalent to a away game.

More than half of the hundreds of passers-by were supportive of the local Baishan High School, and most of the others were neutral.

Time slowly came to 10:00 am.

Under the leadership of the presiding judge, the players of the two teams greeted each other, bowed and shouted "Please give me more advice."

The first attack in this game was Sirishinan High School, and Baishan defended first.

"Bang!"

After receiving the ball from the pitcher, Takashi Nishino immediately stood up and passed it to the shortstop running towards the second base. After the shortstop received the ball, his hand quickly pressed the second base.

"here you go!"

Tetsu Nishino shouted with a mask, and they made a few passes and catch warm-ups in the end, and the game will officially begin.

Inside the rest seat on the other side.

The supervisors and players of Shinan High School in Shinami were attracted by Tetsu Nishino and looked at him one after another.

There is no way. In the baseball department where the ethics of the first-year seniors are very strict, the first-year regular starters will always receive more attention.

Someone was discussing the rest seat of Shinan High School in the Fourth Day. They learned through the player information book that Takashi Nishino was a first-year grade.

"Baishan High School is quite bold."

"First year of Baishan High School, catcher Nishino Tetsuya, who is carrying number 2." The person next to him opened the player information and said.

"The information says that he has been the main catcher of Baishan High School since the Spring Conference."

"No, that's so awesome?"

"Then isn't he the veritable center of Baishan High School?"

The players of Shinan High School in Yokohi were surprised to see Tetsu Nishino as the regular candidate catcher today.

The summer conference is not a spring conference for training troops.

But they were eliminated as long as they lost. For the third grade, it was their last chance to step on the court.

In general schools, if the strength of the previous and juniors is similar, the players who play will definitely be senior players, because the reason is that the players in the lower grades still have a chance next year.

One more first-year player will not be able to play in the final summer.

The truth is so cruel.

But even so, Shiratsuyama High School still asked Tetsu Nishino to get the number 2 and was choosing to play.

The players of Shinan High School in Siri had a bad premonition at the same time. The arrangement of Baishan High School was different from the analysis they made before the game.

I thought Shiratsuyama would carefully let third-grade Hiroki Tsuji as the catcher. After all, Hiroki Tsuji has rich experience in the competition, so it should be the starter.

So before the game, Shinami High School, the focus of the analysis was the more familiar Hiroki Tsuji, whom they were just looking at the information about Takashi Nishino.

As a result, when Hiroki Tsuji was not injured and was well-known as the third baseman, Shiratsuyama's catcher turned out to be Tetsu Nishino.

The players of Siri Shinan High School want to complain: What's going on? Do you know that it's very hard to collect information from our public schools?

Ishihiko Shinan High School didn't know much about his ball-playing characteristics, and did not go to other schools to ask for his game information.

10:03 am.

“PalyBall!”

The referee made a gesture to start pitching, and the air defense alarm sounded at the beginning of the game.

"Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—Buzz”

The competition officially begins in Siri Nan vs Baishan.

"call......"

Tetsu Nishino is an ordinary person. When the game really started, he couldn't help but get nervous, and in an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

The summer conference...it's completely different from the spring conference!

Come on!

As the real No. 2, play this game well!

Tetsu Nishino looked at the pitcher mound.

Today's starting pitcher Shiroya Yamamoto's pitching characteristics flashed through his mind. Takashi Nishino made the ball and immediately called the secret code.

The third-year Shiroya Yamamoto is the current Ace of Shiratsuyama High School. Behind him is the No. 1 number, a rare ball-handling pitcher.

In high school and baseball, there are very few pitchers who have good ball control, and it is even more rare at local conferences, which is rare.

In non-strong schools that appear in local conferences, pitchers generally have poor ball control ability, and missed shots are common, and most pitchers can only aim at shooting in the good area.

Since the beginning of practicing catcher, Takashi Nishino was accompanied by Yamamoto Shuoya, which can be said to be very happy.

In the early stages, Takashi Nishino was hit very little, and Yamamoto Shuoya was inevitably rewarded.

But like many ball-controlled pitchers, Yamamoto Shuoya's ball speed is also a flaw. After being caught in the ball, he will not be able to suppress the hitter. His shot style depends on the catcher's ball and the defense behind him.

certainly.

As long as Tetsu Nishino and the stamina maintain the level of the practice competition, then the decision made by Totakuji Yamamoto Shuoya is correct.

First ball.

Tetsu Nishino matched a straight ball in the low post on the outside corner of the good ball area.

Let’s get a good ball before talking about it while it’s not prepared.

Yamamoto Shuoya nodded, his expression on his face was very calm, he raised his legs and stepped forward, and his arms were swung.

call out!

The ball came straight, and Takashi Nishino's arm stretched forward gently.

"Bang!"

It feels very comfortable, and the position of Nishino Tetsugu gloves is almost not moving.

"nice shot!"

The presiding judge clenched his arm and raised his fist, making a good ball judgment.

1 good ball.

I didn’t care much about the first shot from Siri Shinan High School. I thought it was just the first shot. I could watch a few more shots before deciding to make a shot.

But he didn't know that his hands holding the bat unconsciously increased their strength, and his muscles were tightened on his arms outside the short-sleeved jersey.

This subtle change was seen by Tetsu Nishino.

The second ball.

call out!

Baseball that hit home base quickly!

despair!

Siri Shinan's front foot was raised with a baton and still did not swing the baton. His hesitation also made him choose a bad ball.

1 bad ball.

Although the number of balls is 1 bad ball and 1 good ball, Shinan, Sirita has a feeling of tension of being chased by two good balls.

“So strange…”

He held the blow helmet on his head, pulled up the jersey on his chest and wiped the sweat off his face.

But it was only 10 o'clock in the morning, and I just shot 2 goals, so where did the sweat come from on my face?

The third ball.

On the pitcher mound, Yamamoto Shuoya looked at Takashi Nishino's secret code, secretly changed the way of holding his fingers, and suddenly took action!

call out!

In the attack area, Siri Shinan Yibang's heart moved.

The slide ball in the good ball area can be reached!

But after swinging the baton, he found that the slide ball reached the low position in the inner corner, which made it difficult for him to deal with it, so he had to play out of bounds in a hurry.

"Outside the boundary!"

2 good balls and 1 bad balls.

The hitter was forced to get out of 3 good goals.

In the next goal, Tetsu Nishino decided to take the hitter directly, and he played the code and made a absolutely surprising ball.
Chapter completed!
