Chapter 42: The world is settled with a stick!
"Ping!"
When I saw Li Lei take the initiative to take the first ball and hit the ball cleanly.
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
They have always believed that Li Lei's striking ability is not very good.
Not to mention Sanada Junpei's pitching, even the previous third-year senior Mitsuno.
Even if he pitched the ball, Li Lei couldn't get a hit.
As for Li Lei's previous two encounters with Junpei Sanada, he had three failed swings.
Is it necessary for such an outstanding player to act with them?
The answer is obvious, Li Lei certainly has no need for that.
Since it's not acting, it must be that Li Lei's striking ability is not good enough.
This kind of thing is not uncommon among baseball pitchers.
Some players specialize in practicing pitching. Those second- and third-year players on the Yakushima High School baseball team once thought that Li Lei was in the same situation.
Unexpectedly, this insidious guy would pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
At the critical moment, they were severely defeated.
What are the second- and third-year players on the Yakushi High School baseball team thinking about right now?
Li Lei didn't know and had no idea.
Anyway, he trotted all the way and ran directly to first base.
The situation on the field instantly changed to nobody out and first base occupied.
Junpei Sanada, who was on the pitcher's mound, had his pupils dilated when he saw this scene.
You must know their initial goal, but they killed Li Lei, Qiuye and Mishima one after another.
Unexpectedly, this plan failed from the beginning.
This means that no matter what they thought before.
In this game, they all have to face off against Honglei City.
"It's so exciting! That's how the competition is interesting!!"
Faced with this unexpected situation, Sanada was not discouraged at all.
On the contrary, his fighting spirit is extremely strong.
In the subsequent entanglement with Akiba and Mishima, Sanada used all his skills.
He didn't give in at all just because Li Lei was on base.
Todoroki Raizo, who guest refereed, was very satisfied with Sanada's performance.
At the critical moment, when Li Lei got a hit, Sanada Junpei didn't panic at all.
Not only did he maintain a steady rhythm, but he also showed an extraordinary fighting spirit.
This is really good.
To say that Raizo Todoroki's biggest surprise after taking over the Yakushima High School baseball team was undoubtedly Shunpei Sanada.
Except for this little guy, the remaining second- and third-year players on the Yakushima High School baseball team are really a bit underwhelming...
Their foundation is very weak, and their own technology and strength have been finalized.
Even if Todoroki Zang spends time teaching, the upper limit of these players is still fixed.
Sanada Junpei is different.
This young man's upper limit has obviously not been fixed yet.
Of course, the young man is not without his weaknesses.
Because he had always been able to deal with Li Lei smoothly in the past, not only the other second- and third-year players, but even Sanada himself was a little slack.
When facing Li Lei, he just didn't breathe a sigh of relief, as if he was going all out.
But in his heart, he obviously didn't think Li Lei could really hit his ball.
It was precisely because of this carelessness in Sanada's heart that Li Lei hit the ball and finally scored a hit.
Compared with Li Lei's pitching, Li Lei's personal hitting ability is indeed not enough, as if he is not the same person at all.
But no matter how bad he is, Li Lei was once a national-level player, experienced the top competitions, and received the most rigorous training.
His blow may not be that strong.
But if you ignore his blow, you will definitely be the one who suffers in the end.
Regarding the fact that Li Lei went to the batter's box for the fourth time, accurately calculated Sanada's pitch, and knocked Sanada's pitch away.
Supervisor Todoroki Raizo believes that this is a matter of course.
After all, he didn't put Li Lei in the first position on a whim, just to watch the fun.
All of his batting orders are based on the players' individual strengths.
Li Lei may not be as good as Mishima and Akiba, but his striking ability can definitely rank fourth among all the freshmen.
This is just the ability to swing the bat.
If you add Li Lei's brain and his keen insight.
The threat he brings to hitters in the strike zone is also not that small.
It's a pity that this point was ignored by Sanada and others.
Of course, Sanada also made amends with practical actions.
First, Akiba was taken care of, and then Mishima was taken care of.
This process is of course not easy.
However, in the face of Sanada Junpei, who was full of firepower, Akiba and Mishima were still defeated.
The three times they have played against each other so far, both of them have gone up three times and down three times.
Being suppressed by Sanada Junpei, he had no temper at all.
The situation changed to two outs and a man on first base.
The second and third grade players on the Yakushima High School baseball team were feeling very excited at this moment.
When Li Lei scored a hit, it would be nonsense to say that they were not worried.
They were worried, very, very worried.
Fortunately, the reliable Sanada Junpei gave them a hand at the critical moment and pulled them back.
Although Li Lei was allowed to play first base, it was only first base.
Under such circumstances, their chances of winning against Honglei City are still very high. After all, even if Honglei City gets a hit, they will win.
"Let him call me!"
"We will definitely stop the ball!"
"Even with our bodies, we won't let the ball pass in front of us."
Shunpei Sanada scored two outs cleanly, boosting the morale of the Yakushima High School baseball team.
It seems that goddess luck has not abandoned them yet.
The same goes for Junpei Sanada on the mound.
His adrenaline surged rapidly, filling his entire brain instantly.
Even in the face of the Thunder City, Sanada Junpei did not flinch at this time.
He raised his leg high and then dropped it heavily. As his body's center of gravity shifted, Sanada also threw the baseball in his hand away.
"Whoosh!"
The moment the baseball was thrown, Sanada Junpei seemed to put all his strength into the ball.
It is no exaggeration to say that this shot was really beautiful.
Even Todoroki Raizo, who was guest referee, couldn't help but cheer for Sanada Junpei's pitching.
This goal is absolutely amazing.
However, at this moment, a tornado seemed to suddenly blow over the strike zone.
A bat appeared out of the sky, blocking the front of the baseball, and whipped the incoming baseball straight away.
"boom!"
The sound of the bat swinging through the air gave the batters in the strike zone and Todoroki Raizo, who was the guest referee, a momentary sense of suffocation.
"Ping!"
The hit baseball flew across the sky like a meteor, not knowing where it would land?
At this moment, the entire Yakushi High School baseball field was silent.
They were all shocked by the man's swing.
Until a burst of strange laughter sounded.
"Ka, hahaha..."
