Chapter 36: Crisis, here we come!(1/2)
"Ping!"
When the baseball is knocked out by the batter using a bunt.
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
"This is too hard. Even if it is to break Li Lei's prophecy, it won't go to this extent, right?"
Father, like son.
When the game first started, there were no spectators on the sidelines.
But as the game became more and more intense, some pharmacist students noticed that the baseball team was playing and chose to stay and watch.
This is really something that you don’t know until you see it, and you will be shocked when you see it.
When they watched the match between the two teams, their pupils dilated several times.
A group of freshmen who had just joined the high school were actually playing against the sophomore and third-year players of the Yakushima High School baseball team.
You must know that although the Yakushima High School baseball team is not a powerful team, it is definitely not a weak team.
They can reach the third round or even the fourth round in Tokyo.
But such a strong high school team is now being pinned to the ground and rubbed by freshmen.
Nearly 2/3 of the game has passed, and they are still one point behind the freshmen.
The enthusiasm of the students who were watching the competition was instantly mobilized.
How could they miss such a game?
These guys who didn't take it too seriously to watch the excitement stayed. They wanted to see if the freshmen of this year's Yakushi High School baseball team could create a miracle?
Then they saw the scene in front of them.
I don't know if the second- and third-year players on the Yakushima High School baseball team are really driven crazy, or if they are at their wits' end.
They actually used bunts to destroy Li Lei's prophecy.
In this way, even if they finally destroyed Li Lei's prophecy.
So what?
Does that mean Li Lei is not awesome?
I'm afraid not.
That only shows that the sophomore and third-year players on the Yakushima High School baseball team are incompetent.
Moreover, the ball that was hit bounced towards third base and should have been easily stopped.
Once the ball is blocked.
The second- and third-year players on the Yakushima High School baseball team are really stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
The students watching the game were already sitting on small benches, eating melon seeds, and were ready to watch the fun.
However, a scene that they never expected appeared in front of them so grandly.
When the batter bunts out, the ball that should have been blocked 100% of the time was actually missed?
Hong Leishi rushed over like a bull, preparing to get the ball into his glove.
However, for some reason, his glove missed the baseball by a small margin and did not touch the ball at all.
As a result, the baseball passed through Hongleishi's crotch, and then bounced from third base to the outfield.
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.
Either he was dumbfounded, or he was stupid.
My mind goes blank.
The batter reacted first and trotted all the way to first base. That wasn't the end of it. After reaching first base, he rushed to second base without stopping.
The outfielder on the freshman team just picked up the ball.
The runner has already reached second base.
"Safety!"
One out, second base is occupied.
When this scene appeared, the freshman team was silent.
The seniors in the second and third grades didn’t know what they should say for a moment.
It took several seconds before Mishima's angry words were heard on the court.
"Hanglei City, what on earth are you doing? A ball like that can actually miss it?"
Facing Mishima's angry rebuke, Todoroki laughed awkwardly.
"Ka, hahaha..."
Li Lei, who was on the pitcher's mound, slapped his forehead.
"Is it a coincidence? Or are you really being pushed into a hurry?"
He was a little unsure, what was the situation of the senior who had just been attacked?
"Next at bat, pitcher, Shunpei Sanada!"
At this extremely tense moment, Sanada Junpei stood in the strike zone.
This is probably because the house leaked and it rained continuously.
For first-year newcomers, this is undoubtedly a cruel test.
A bunt by the second and third graders actually went to second base.
Not to mention these players with baseball experience, even the spectators surrounding the court looked in disbelief.
They never imagined that such a situation would happen?
This is indeed the case.
When they first saw their third-grade seniors using bunts on the court, they felt extremely contemptuous.
Do the second- and third-year players on the Yakushi High School baseball team still have any dignity as seniors?
This is too shameless.
Even if it’s to win a new student, you wouldn’t use this method, right?
And even if they use such a method, it will most likely only be embarrassing...
Unexpectedly, they didn't expect it anyway.
Finally, something like this happened.
So many melon-eaters pointed at Honglei City and asked their companions.
"Is that guy an idiot?"
"Why do I feel that his fielding ability is not much better than mine. Can a guy like this join the baseball team?"
"The level of our school's baseball team is too low, isn't it?"
The melon-eating crowd was talking a lot, and the game on the court was still going on.
Facing Junpei Sanada, Li Lei shot a ball calmly.
Facing this ball, Sanada Junpei didn't take any action at all.
The baseball hit directly into Akiha's open glove.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!!"
Li Lei, who was on the pitcher's mound, frowned slightly.
Even though it was his first time playing, he was playing against second- and third-year players from the Yakushima High School baseball team.
But in the past half month, he watched all the seniors practice.
I dare not say 100%, but he is quite familiar with the hitting habits of most seniors.
Take Shunpei Sanada as an example, what he likes to hit most is probably the straight ball.
Li Lei just fed a straight ball, but Sanada Junpei didn't make a move.
This is more difficult to do.
The bait was thrown out, but the fish didn't take the bait.
Sanada Junpei deliberately changed his hitting habits.
"interesting!"
If it were said before, Li Lei was just skeptical.
So now Li Lei is basically sure that his magic pitching should end here.
To be continued...
