The expression on his face was not relaxed at all.

No wonder he is.

With Yamaoka's terrifying blowing force, even if he failed to hit the center of the ball, he would probably be able to send the ball flying very far.

in this case.

Li Lei must be very careful when matching the ball to Junpei Sanada.

Because if one is not careful, results that he is unwilling to accept may occur.

Fortunately, the worst outcome did not happen.

The baseball's sudden change successfully bypassed Yamaoka's swing, causing his swing to miss.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

With a strike ahead, whether it's Li Lei or Sanada Junpei on the mound, their condition has become stronger and more confident.

The white baseball flew out again, and compared to the previous ball, the angle was more tricky.

"Ping!"

This time Yamaoka hit the ball.

But the baseball was hit directly out of bounds.

"The outside world!"

In just the blink of an eye, Yamaoka, who had high hopes, was already tied by Sanada and Li Lei.

Such a smooth pitching rhythm made the players of the Seido High School baseball team in the stands look at each other.

"If I hadn't known about the accident that happened to the Yakushima High School baseball team, I might have thought that they did it on purpose?"

"The partnership between Li Lei and Sanada Shunpei doesn't look like they were put together on the fly at all."

"Especially Li Lei, I couldn't see it at all before."

This is by no means a player on the Seido High School baseball team who underestimates Li Lei.

In fact, they had overestimated Li Lei, but in their original impression, Li Lei had always been that super-powerful pitcher.

Although the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team itself has never played against Li Lei.

But the other two wealthy families in Western Tokyo at the same level as them have already dealt with Li Lei, and they also suffered big losses in the process of dealing with Li Lei.

What does this mean?

Players on the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team may not recognize the strength of the Yakushi High School baseball team.

But when they faced the other two giants in Nishi Tokyo at the same level as them, they highly recognized their strength.

Li Lei's performance in those two games also greatly stimulated the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.

Of course they attach great importance to Li Lei.

It's just that what they paid attention to at the beginning was Li Lei on the pitcher's mound.

Instead of Li Lei standing at the catcher's position now.

Just as the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team were reminiscing, Li Lei on the field once again gave a secret signal.

"stop!"

Faced with the flying baseball, Yamaoka took a strong shot.

However, the baseballs he faced simply didn't hit the strike zone.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"strike out!

"

With two outs, there's a man on second base.

This result was obviously unacceptable to the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.

"Yamaoka, you got struck out?"

They can't accept it and don't dare to imagine it.

At this moment, someone nodded in confirmation.

"They are indeed out! Yamaoka obviously believes that with the state shown by Li Lei and Sanada Junpei, they will definitely not bother to escape the duel and will definitely win head-on!"

But Li Lei obviously doesn't have such integrity.

Having already scored two good balls, he did not hesitate to play the bad ball signal.

This is a common tactic used by catchers.

As far as the Aomichi High School baseball team is concerned, Miyukiichi often uses it.

There are two crucial reasons why Yamaoka was fooled.

One of the reasons is his preconceived judgment.

He thought Li Lei would definitely choose a head-on confrontation.

So he limited himself there.

Another reason was that he still despised Li Lei.

I think Li Lei, the team's ace pitcher, definitely doesn't know the catcher that well.

But he was wrong, and very wrong.

There is nothing wrong with Li Lei being the team's ace pitcher.

But this definitely doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the catcher.

The real situation is just the opposite. Li Lei not only understands the catcher, but even knows it very well.

There are many similarities between pitchers and catchers, especially

On how to deal with opponents.

Li Lei can completely use his own experience to make up for his shortcomings in this area.

By the time the seventh batter of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team came on the field, the atmosphere seemed to have turned around.

Li Lei is extremely domineering.

On the contrary, it was the batter of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team who seemed to be suppressed by Li Lei.

On the pitcher's mound, Junpei Sanada, under the guidance of Li Lei, also showed jaw-dropping pitching prowess.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!

"

"Ping!"

After chasing the batter with two good balls in succession, the batter seemed to be in a hurry.

He gritted his teeth and swung the bat in his hand.

Obviously no matter what, he has to hit the ball first.

As for the final result?

The white baseball was indeed hit, but it didn't fly very far before Qiuye picked it up in his glove.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

"Three outs, exchange offense and defense."

Both sides exchanged offense and defense, and the Yakushima High School baseball team held on beautifully.

Let’s talk about the hero here.

Junpei Sanada is definitely one of them, and he is still the best among them.

But the biggest contributor was not him, but Li Lei, who was appointed as the team's main catcher at a critical moment.

How eye-catching is Li Lei at the catcher position?

All the fans at the scene saw it with their own eyes.

To be honest, during a baseball game, it is almost inevitable that people will turn their attention to those objects worthy of attention.

For example, pitchers and hitters.

The direct dialogue between the two of them is undoubtedly the most attractive.
