Chapter 732 Home Run!
"Pitch, pitch, Takamiki has already made a pitching gesture. What kind of ball will it be? There is no doubt at all. When facing the powerful Hojo, he will definitely use the only high-speed ball he can use!"
On the sidelines, Coach Mihara had run to the band's side at some point, picked up the microphone and began commenting on the game.
The white baseball was firmly fixed in the middle by four fingers, with the index finger and middle finger on top and the thumb on the bottom forming a triangle like a chicken claw, and the ring finger was bent to the side to fix it.
Gao Jianshu twisted his waist violently, swung his right leg downward, and swung his arm forward like a whip. The baseball in his hand was launched like a mortar shell.
This is the four-seam pitching method, which allows the baseball to reach the highest rotation speed from bottom to top. The rotation and friction with the air will give the baseball infinite power.
High speed ball!
Pitch the ball as quickly as a hero, abandoning all changes, just pursuing extreme speed!
Take a good look, this is the power of the ace pitcher of Shikamiya High with a speed of 133 kilometers per hour!
The moment he threw the ball, Gao Jianshu realized that this time his ball should be faster than before!
As expected, I am the real protagonist. I broke through the small universe under the explosion of fear and violence. How about it? Can this ball reach 140? If the ball speed can really exceed 140, he may even have a chance to take everyone from Shikamiya Gao to Koshien!
The white baseball flew in a straight line toward the catcher's glove. Whether viewed from the front or the back, all one could see were the four lines after the brown ball seam rotated.
Is this the baseball line? No, this is your dead line, Hojo Kyousuke!
A happy expression appeared on Gao Jianshu's face.
"Sure enough! It's a high-speed straight ball, the speed of the ball is quite fast!" Mihara Akizo's mouth seemed to be on fire as he explained rapidly.
boom--
Did you hear that?
That's the sound of a baseball dropping into a glove.
boom--
Gao Jianshu didn't even need to look at the catcher to know that he had thrown a good ball, a very good ball!
He turned his head and looked towards the sidelines, but unfortunately he couldn't find the big-screen scoreboard, so he couldn't see the speed of his ball.
Really, these poor people in Sobu High School have money to buy buses but no money to buy speed guns! ?
What about the cheers? Cheering for your opponents is also a sign of respect for your own players. Don't you even know such a simple truth?
He looked in the direction of the beautiful female musicians, but saw that they were all staring closely behind him.
Um? what happened?
"Great idea! You idiot, the ball rolled right past you!"
Shikamiya Gao's catcher shouted angrily.
Huh? Gao Jianshu made a puzzled sound, and then returned to the real world.
boom--
Did you hear that?
This is the sound of hitting the ball.
As early as when Takamiki took up his pitching stance, Hojo Kyosuke was already ready to bat.
Generally speaking, even the top hitters will not hit the first ball, because the hitter has three chances to swing the bat, and he will be struck out only after three good balls. The error tolerance rate is very high. If you are conservative, you can choose to give up the first two balls and fully observe the pitching habits of the opposing pitcher, or trick the opponent.
For example, when the opponent throws a curve ball for the first time, you choose not to hit it, giving the opponent the illusion that you are not good at dealing with curve balls, and then you can make a fatal hit when the opponent throws the curve ball for the second time.
But that's what most people do.
From the first day he started playing baseball, Hojo Kyosuke made up his mind to hit every ball that was thrown at him!
What if the opponent is afraid of my strong strength and wants to hit me directly? If a ball with a speed of 140 or 150 km/h hits me, my well-trained body will feel pain, right? What if the opponent uses special force techniques to cause internal injuries to me? Injury to the bones is fine, but what if the kidneys are injured!
What if my opponent is jealous of my handsome face and wants to hit me in the face? I haven't bought insurance for my face yet. It's a waste to use the gift of Sanye for such a thing. Besides, is my face someone else's to touch?
What if my rivals get jealous of my beautiful girl manager and beautiful girl cheering group and attack my good brother? I'm still a virgin! How painful it would be! The point is Sakura, Glass, Mitsuha, Eriri, Kasumigaoka, Yukino... How sad they would be, maybe even angry and devastated.
if……
The first time he stood in the batter's box and watched the pitcher on the opposing team holding the ball and preparing to hit him, endless fear enveloped Hojo Kyosuke.
He clenched his teeth, his face was livid, and he raised the baseball bat fiercely.
At that moment he made up his mind to be a man who could fight all the way!
Whenever the opponent throws the ball, no matter it's a good ball or a bad ball, he will hit it away!
He beats every one that comes his way!
No matter if it's suitable to hit or not, no matter where the ball will fly, he just wants to swing!
I TM fight, fight, fight——!
The moment Takamiki threw the ball, all that was left in Hojo Kyosuke's eyes was the baseball.
The super brain works at high speed, calculating the speed and route of the baseball.
Now is the time! Swing!!
Hojo Kyosuke has unconditional trust in his super brain, and his well-tempered body starts working at full power in an instant. His arm, which was originally well-proportioned in flesh and bones, instantly becomes much thicker.
call out--
The strong wind caused by the swing of the bat even made coach Kanoya Takashi, who was standing behind, feel a pain in his face.
If this stick hits my head, it will break.
Just like swinging a sword, the fastest time for the sword is not when the bamboo sword falls to the bottom, but when it falls on the opponent's head!
The bat in Hojo Kyosuke's hand drew a bright silver arc when the bat accelerated to its maximum.
boom--! !
The baseball and the bat collided perfectly. Hojo Kyosuke's super brain subconsciously began to calculate the kinetic energy conversion of this collision, while Hojo Kyosuke's body started moving without stopping.
The muscles in the thighs and calves bulged instantly like bursting, and the spikes were firmly nailed into the sand.
bang——
How long does it take to go from quiet to top speed? Hojo Kyosuke's well-trained body tells you: 0.01 seconds!
The tall and slender figure charged toward first base with his head slightly tilted.
He doesn't need to observe where his ball will fly. Other batsmen need to observe whether their balls will be caught by the opposing defensive players, but he doesn't need that!
If the ball hit by the batsman is caught by the opposing defensive player, the batsman will be out directly, which is why you have to be careful when batting.
Hojo Kyosuke was not hitting the ball towards the highest and farthest point at all. His skills were not up to par yet. He could hit every ball, but he could not control where the ball would fly.
So his choice is - hit the ground!
Others were hitting high and far away, but he was hitting low and far away!
My ball will never be caught before it hits the ground! He has absolute confidence.
Be a man who won't be stopped!
The ball he hit was not as weak as Gao Jianshu's. Not to mention the gloves, even Xiao Du couldn't stop it!
“Ohhh! He’s swinging! Hojo’s swinging! He chose to swing at the first pitch! He swung without hesitation. His bat is just like his heart, clear as a mirror, without any doubt. This is the strength of the ace of the Sobu High School baseball club. As long as he senses an opportunity, he will swing without hesitation!”
Coach Mihara shouted loudly:
"The ball flew between first and second base so fast! It was much faster than Takami's pitch! He chose a ground ball. What a wise choice!
Hahahaha, everyone, look, Takami is so frightened that he is stunned. He must have never seen such a powerful swing in his more than ten years of baseball career. Hojo-kun hits his ball with more ease than his father spanking him. He is so lucky to see such a wonderful swing! "
Mihara Akizo laughed wildly, while Kakamiya Takashi's people below were cursing.
Is this a wise choice? The baseball field is in the shape of a diamond, or fan, with home base in the center, third base and first base on the left and right, and second base in the middle. So if you want to run to first base, the ground ball should be hit toward third base, so as to buy as much time as possible, but Hojo Kyosuke hit it directly between first and second base.
Except for the ecstatic Mihara Shozo and the baseball team, everyone else felt that Hojo Kyosuke must have made a mistake. In this regard, members of the football and basketball clubs expressed their understanding, after all, they knew that Hojo Kyosuke had only practiced baseball for a few days.
The people from the Kendo Club said: Idiot, how could a mortal's wisdom possibly guess what our eldest brother is thinking?
Amid the catcher's angry curses, Takamiki came to his senses. He quickly looked back and saw that the ball hit by Hojo Kyosuke had hit the ground after flying at high speed. The force was so great that it even made a hole in the grass, and then it continued to roll forward quickly. The shortstop and center fielder who were wandering between second base and third base were chasing after the rolling baseball on the ground.
"Pass the ball, pass it quickly! Pass it to second base!"
He shouted hurriedly. With a ground ball like this, it went without saying that he would not be able to block Hojo Kyosuke at first base, and he could only intercept the opponent at second base.
Sure enough, when he turned his head, he saw...
"Fuck! Third base, pass to third base!!!"
Takamiki roared.
What the hell, how can that guy Hojo Kyosuke run so fast? !
The opponent did not rush to second base over first base as he expected, but had already stepped over second base and rushed towards third base!
The first baseman and second baseman of Shikamiya High School rolled their eyes when they heard what their ace said.
God knows how they felt when Hojo Kyosuke rushed over. At that time, the second baseman had one foot on the base, ready to block Hojo Kyosuke, but when the opponent rushed over, he immediately dodged to the side.
It will kill people!
Have you seen The Flash? The Flash can pass through the opponent's body by vibration or something, while Hojo Kyosuke, an unskilled guy, can only smash his own body and continue to rush forward.
This isn't football, asshole!
"Sprint! Sprint! Hojo-kun is still sprinting! He is as fast as lightning! First base! Second base! Shikamiya Takashi's defense is as fragile as a shoji gate in front of Hojo-kun. He doesn't even need to exert his full strength. He can get through just by lifting his foot lightly!
Third base is in sight, oh~ our poor Kanojo High player has barely even picked up the baseball. Sorry guys, our trump card is just too powerful, and we didn't consider that you can't handle it.
Hahahaha, a home run! This will be a home run. It's Hojo-kun's first game, his first at-bat, and he hit a home run!
Let us remember this name, Shikamiya Takashi! Hojo-kun scored his first point against them!"
Akizo Mihara laughed wildly, but unfortunately his microphone had been snatched away by Michiru Hyodo.
The beautiful girl with blue-purple hair had an alluring blush on her face. Before, she moved people's hearts with her melody, but now.
Every step that Hojo Kyosuke took in his sprint was so powerful that the reddish-brown sand was splashed up by his spiked shoes.
Every step of those extremely fast footsteps seemed to be stepping on Michiru Hyodo's heart, and her heartbeat was beating with the pace of Hojo Kyosuke's footsteps.
Sprint, sprint!
First base, second base, third base!
Yes, Hojo-kun can definitely score!
Of course, of course!
Michiru Hyodo tapped the ground with her toes, and passionate music sounded as she plucked the guitar.
Beside her, the other three members of "Icy Tail" were equally excited, their faces flushed, and Morioka Aiko, who was like a Yamato Nadeshiko, swung her drumsticks high.
In the field, Gao Jianshu's expression had become desperate.
The outfielder had a wider field of vision and judged that there was no way to intercept Hojo Kyousuke at third base, so he chose to pass the ball directly to home plate. The idea was good, but the strength was a little lacking. The speed of the ball thrown over was probably less than 100, and it fell before it reached the pitcher's mound. When Takamiki ran over to pick up the ball and prepared to throw it to home plate...
“SAFE——!!!”
A loud shout rang out over the speakers.
Hojo Kyosuke had already made a sliding tackle and landed hard on home plate, and referee Kakashi Kano waved his hands to make a scoring gesture.
boom--
Amidst the warm cheers and music, Hojo Kyosuke climbed up with his right hand, and while adjusting his helmet, he vigorously brushed off the sand on his body.
Ah, the white clothes are dirty.
The white baseball uniform turned pitch black in an instant. In fact, with his speed, he could have run directly across home plate, but whether it was the game videos he had watched or the teachings of Ryota Tsuchiya and others during practice, they all told Hojo Kyosuke to slide to home plate in this way.
He practiced hard and finally learned to get up within 0.1 seconds after sliding. The whole movement was smooth and beautiful.
On the radio, Coach Mihara was still chattering about showing off his own trump card, while Michiru Hyodo and her friends were playing passionately. This time, they were not playing simple melodies, but unknown songs.
Hojo Kyosuke was surrounded and cheered by the members of the Sobu High School baseball club.
Without wasting too much time, Sobu High School's second batter took the field.
Gao Jianshu calmed himself down, raised his leg, and threw the ball!
Huh, huh, huh!
Strikeout!
Strikeout!
Strikeout!
The three batters after Hojo Kyosuke were all struck out, including the original ace pitcher of Sobu High School. (End of this chapter)
