Chapter 251 Mentality
After Nishino Tetsuya came out safely, Baishan's rest mat was filled with joy. When he was about to be struck out, he could still hit the soft top three in the middle and outfield areas. This kind of good luck was enough for them to be happy.
"Azhe, you really have it!" Kazuya Nishino came up to take the strike protective gear and said with a smile.
Takashi Nishino smiled while holding his helmet, saying nothing more. Although the ball was not strong enough, he was very confident that it would land.
In the later games, more and more opponents set up a special team to deal with him, so he can get fewer and fewer easy-to-play balls.
He was also very uncomfortable when he was chased by two good balls and could only guess his opponent's ball match. After studying hundreds of balls in Matsusaka, Tetsu Nishino inexplicably felt familiar with their pitching, which made him feel confident in swinging.
Tetsu Nishino's ultimate goal is to go to base, whether it is short-range, hit, or four-bad balls, as long as he can go to base, he will work hard.
No one was out of the first base in the first game, and there were people on Baishan who were very happy, while Matsusaka Shang was more depressed.
Being beaten is naturally not a big deal, but if you lose the hit after making full preparations and focusing on your energy and doing your best, the frustration will not be stopped.
The first hitter of the first striker was successfully out of the base, and Baishan made the first tactical response. At the exit of the rest seat, the supervisor of Toshitaji Ichikawa Kyotaro, who was the second striker, asked him to use a sacrifice short to send Tetsu Nishino to the second base.
"strike!"
"Well, I understand!"
In order to implement the team's recent small ball tactics, Ichikawa Kyotaro swung his bat as soon as he got to the strike zone, and he was about to strike.
A very simple tactic made his opponent Matsusaka Shang very uncomfortable.
In desperation, Matsusaka Shang chose to move forward to defend, and the infielder leaned over, guarding against attacks and guarding against Takashi Nishino's thieves.
Near the second base of the Indo area, Takashi Nishino was only one or two meters away from the base, and he did have the idea of stealing the base. However, under the alert of Matsusaka Shang, he also had to look at his cooperation with senior Kyotaro Ichikawa, so he planned to observe one or two goals first.
Facing Baishan's second hitter, Matsusaka Shoki pitcher Yoshikawa threw the baseball in his hand and threw a high straight ball to the home base with all his strength.
After seeing the ball path being too high, Kyotaro Ichikawa, who had bent down and swung his bat, suddenly withdrew his arm and made way for the baseball to enter the base. He couldn't click on this obviously bad ball.
After Kyotaro Ichikawa's catch, Abe, the catcher behind, caught off guard. When he reached out to catch the ball, he seemed to be blocked from his sight and missed the ball.
The baseball hit his glove and bounced open.
The ball flew over and hit the stadium wall behind the home plate area. Matsusaka Shonen Abe hurriedly got up and ran over to pick up the ball.
When Takashi Nishino was in the first base, he took the opportunity to sneak into the second base. In the first half of the first inning, no one was out, and there were people in the second base. Bai Shan unexpectedly quickly occupied the circle.
"what is going on?"
Matsusaka Commercial Supervisor Kazumaki frowned, and the team's condition was a bit unexpectedly bad.
The most stable catcher in the team's entire summer conference actually missed the first game of the final. After this accident, the situation of the game became subtle.
Matsusaka High School, which has been crushing its opponents to enter the finals, seemed to suddenly not be able to play basketball after facing the big dark horse Baishan High School.
In fact, there are many reasons here. The first one is the players' tension in the finals.
The pressure in the finals of the local conference is greater than that in the Jiaziyuan finals.
After losing the final of Jiaziyuan, at least it was a sure victory in the National Congress, and losing the local conference was just a failure in Jiaziyuan at the last moment.
As the dark horse of this county conference, Baishan High School will make a profit by playing one game and taking one step more. No matter what the finals are, they can go back to Baishan Town with their chests straight.
But Matsusaka High School is different. They can't afford to lose the finals, so after the finals began, the players suddenly felt unprecedented pressure.
They had been to Jiaziyuan decades ago, but this time they reached the finals with the determination to win. Even the third high school in the semi-finals of the Spring League, the semi-finals, also won in one fell swoop.
However, in the final, the opponent was Chuntian's defeated player, Baishan High School, who had been under the slump for many years.
Before the game started, the players of Matsusaka Shang were in a very delicate mood. They felt that the opponent was really successful and they were afraid of what secret tactics had when they suddenly became stronger.
"It seems that the opponent is really different, so we won't lose..."
The feeling of gain and loss quietly affects Matsusaka Shang's players. Takashi Nishino's hit is a one-base hit, but it is like a key key, opening the door to pressure for Matsusaka Shang's players.
Faced with the opportunity that no one was out of the second base, Baishan immediately chose to stick to the previous tactics without thinking. Toshitaji beat the game with a gesture and told Ichikawa Kyotaro to continue looking for opportunities to push the base.
"I really want to hit a short attack? It won't be fake again..."
The runners have already reached the second base, and Baishan is still thinking about sacrificing short-strikes. Matsusaka Shang's catcher Abe was a little troubled by Baishan's tactics.
The second and third balls were thrown over, and Kyotaro Ichikawa in the attack area just swayed the bat, and he just shook it there and didn't point it. He seemed to be sure to consume a few goals first.
Ichikawa Kyotaro's short-shot statistics were excellent. He was very experienced in any forced pitcher and was still waiting for a better ball.
The fourth ball was shot over.
call out!
Seeing that the straight shot from the good ball area was thrown, Kyotaro Ichikawa immediately took the spot and went out steadily.
"when!"
The ball was pointed to the sideline of the third base and rolled forward along the sideline. Matsusaka Shang's third baseman had to leave the third base bag sharply and quickly move forward to pick up the ball.
The moment the ball landed on the inland field, Takashi Nishino, who was a distance away from the base, suddenly started running towards the third base, and stepped on the third base bag in a few big steps.
"Passing first base..."
When Matsusaka Shang's third baseman picked up the ball, he had no idea where Nishino Tetsuki ran to behind him, so the catcher Abe had no choice but to command him to pass the first base, at least he had to get an out.
"call out--!"
The ball was quickly and urgently passed to first base.
Shiraisha's sacrifice was very good at playing this goal, and all the audience felt that one was eliminated and another point was replaced. Nishino Tetsuya returned to the base and Kyotaro Ichikawa would be eliminated.
But the most unexpected scene suddenly appeared. The ball that came over bounced and refracted in front of first base, and suddenly passed by the first baseman's gloves. Matsusaka Shang made a fatal defense mistake.
"Run!"
Seeing the ball leaking, Baishan's first base and third base running instructor immediately shook his hand and let it go, smiling excitedly.
Tetsu Nishino, who had stepped on the third base, returned to home base, gently stepped on the home plate, safely returned to the base and took the team's first point, and Baishan led 1-0.
Chapter completed!
