Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

Ye Yingtong looked gloomy and wanted to kill someone.

I won’t pretend anymore.

Shinomiya Yan'an stopped talking and looked calmly at Yozakura Tong, waiting for her answer.

"Zun will never be used as a bet by me, never."

After a long time, Ye Yingtong spoke slowly in a low voice.

"He can only belong to me, Ye Yingtong, for the rest of his life."

"Even if I die, I won't let anyone get him."

If she died one day.

She would be the first to call for someone to kill Kitahara Tsutomu and let him die in front of her.

Even if it means going to hell, she will take him down with her.

Ye Yingtong's love is so extreme, crazy and radical.

"Is that so?"

Shinomiya Yan'an looked deeply at Yozakura Tong, and suddenly, he smiled.

"That's really unfortunate. Our Shinomiya family also has a crush on Kitahara Takashi."

"If we, the Shinomiya family, set our sights on someone or something, we will get it no matter what."

"Tong, you have to look carefully."

Ye Yingtong gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, wishing she could kill this old man right now.

On the court——

"First base, second base is occupied."

"Next up is Koukou Ikusei's third runner, Koharadera Rokusuke."

"Since the start of Koshien, Kogendera Rokusuke has hit six home runs and three singles."

"Let's see how he handles this ball."

Gaoyuanji Rokusuke carried a baseball bat and slowly walked up to the batter's mound.

He just stood there lazily, looking so arrogant, not athletic at all, with no passion and no regard for his opponent.

But the sense of oppression he brought to Taogu was real.

It seemed as if the sun was suddenly pulled closer, and my body became much hotter.

"Is this the kind of monster Kitahara has been facing?"

Under the scorching temperature of 37°, Tao Gu was sweating profusely and felt like he was about to have heatstroke.

Compared to the scorching sun on him, what made Taogu most breathless was the baseball team of Gaodu Yucheng.

Every ball he served was hit.

The key point is that this is when the opponent doesn’t play seriously.

"I'm not Kitahara-san after all."

Tao Guyao actually fought with injuries this time.

His right arm injury has not healed yet, but now that the team is at a critical juncture, he feels he must stand up.

He chose to come back.

He has also rested for more than ten days. Even though he is restricted and cannot exert 100% of his original power, he can still exert 70% to 80%.

He thought he could probably hold on for a few rounds before Kitahara Tsuyoshi came on the court.

As a result, let alone several rounds, he couldn't even last one round.

The opponent only scored 7 points, and that was only with the help of teammates.

If it weren't for his teammates' tenacious defense, he might have lost not just 7 points, but more.

The educational method of Gaoduyucheng School is just like the football team: when they are separated, they are full of stars, but when they are together, they are just a pile of shit.

They don't have any coordination, but their individual abilities are too outstanding.

They are not on the same level.

'Is this genius?'

Tao Gu seemed to vaguely remember that there was a time when he was also called a genius.

It's just that when he came to a higher-level stage, on this stage full of geniuses, he seemed so mediocre.

"I really envy Kitahara!"

Momotani Kaname also wanted to be like Kitahara Takashi, who had the ability to decide the direction of the game alone.

Unfortunately he is not.

He came to Aoba, the school where his father studied, with the reputation of a genius. He wanted to fulfill his father's unfulfilled dream, but he was eliminated in the first round of Koshien every year.

Just when Taogu was about to graduate with regret, Beiyuan Zun suddenly appeared, shining with Xia Jia, and led them all the way to the finals.

Now that his dream is right before his eyes, how could he give up?

After taking several deep breaths and forcing himself to calm down, Momoya looked calmly at Ryusuke Takaharaji who was not far away.

"So what if I'm not a genius?"

He placed his fingers on the side of the ball.

Lift your legs and pull your arms back in a wide swinging motion.

"As long as we can win!"

'We want to end this summer with laughter.'

At the moment of pitching, Taogu uses his index and middle fingers to flick the ball line. The ball spins, and the force of the lateral rotation causes the ball to fall during flight.

'Yes! '

Taogu is a little excited.

He felt it was the most beautiful slider he had ever thrown.

"Ohhh, that's a really nice slide" BANG!

Before Suzuki Ichiro could finish his words, Gaoyuandera Rokusuke hit the ball, dropped the bat, and slowly walked towards first base.

By the time everyone's attention caught up with the baseball, the ball had already flown out of the infield and into the outfield.

"home run!"

"A home run by a player from Gaoyuan Temple extends the lead to 8 points!"

Fans supporting Aoba looked at the shocking numbers on the scoreboard in near despair.

2: 10.

The score, which had been narrowed with great difficulty, widened again after this inning.

"Coach, let me go."

This time, Kitahara Tsutomu really couldn't sit still.

236

Chapter 236 Should we give them a chance to breathe?

At 2:10 in the second half of the game, it was like a professional boxer beating a kindergarten kid. Those who knew that this was the Koshien finals would think it was a Koshien qualifying match.

"If you go up now, will all our efforts to move forward be in vain?"

Kensuke Amatani had a gloomy face and his expression was not very good.

Before the game started, he and Kitahara Takashi analyzed the skills, playing styles and personalities of every player in the team yesterday.

He knew that Gao Youyu was very powerful, so in terms of defensive deployment, he asked the left and right outfielders to move back as far as possible, and handed the middle area to the shortstop. He carefully explained to Taogu what kind of ball to use for different batters when pitching, and which area they were not good at catching.

He arranged everything down to the smallest detail and did almost everything a coach could do.

Every player of Aoba also strictly follows the coach's plan.

But even so, Gaodu Yucheng still easily got 10 points from them.

There is no problem with his deployment and the players' execution is also strong. The problem lies with the highly developed players.

They are all too strong.

They are just like Kitahara Tsutomu, pure and unreasonably powerful.

Whether it is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, Nanyun Masaru, or Kogenji Rokusuke... any one of them would be the core of the team in other schools.

And there are as many as eight highly trained and powerful ones like them.

Kensuke Amatani suddenly understood how other universities felt when facing Kitahara Takashi.

Everyone knows that Kitahara Takashi can only throw straight balls.

But you just can't react, you just can't feel the despair that comes from the bottom of your heart.

In the face of absolute strength, all his deployments seemed so ridiculous.

"The problem is, this team right now can't even make it to the fifth inning."

Kitahara Takashi was feeling a little irritated.

He had agreed with Kensuke Amatani that he would take over after Rokusuke Kogendera came down.

If Gaoyuanji Rokusuke continues to play, replace him in the fifth game.

The plan is beautiful, but ideals are full and reality is skinny.

Judging from the current situation, Aoba won't be able to last until the fifth game.

"Don't worry, just wait."

Kitahara Takashi was right, but Kensuke Amatani still planned to wait a little longer.

If he replaces Kitahara Takashi now, he might as well have let Kitahara Takashi start from the beginning.

"Ah, Highly Cultivated has hit it again, Ayanokouji is running, safe! Successfully reached base."

Kitahara Takashi was listening to the live commentary. He looked back and found that while the two were talking, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had successfully reached first base.

He looked at Horikita Manabu, who was carrying a baseball bat, and then at the stubborn Kensuke Amaya. He gritted his teeth and said, "15 points!"

If Kotoyuki scores 15 points, no matter what Kensuke Amatani says next, he must appear on the court.

Kensuke Amatani is the team coach, and it is true that he has the greatest power as far as the baseball team is concerned.

But Kitahara Takashi’s girlfriend is still Yozakura Hitomi.

The Konoe family has always been Aoba's largest sponsor, and Yozakura Hitomi's grandfather is also the chairman of Aoba.

He wanted to play, so no matter how reluctant Kensuke Amatani was, he had to let Kitahara go.

Kensuke Amatani is a good coach. If possible, Kitahara Takashi really doesn't want to fall out with him and make things too ugly.

So this time he gave in.

"Thank you."

Kensuke Amatani was somewhat grateful for Kitahara Takashi's concession.

"15 points is enough."

The rules of baseball are much more complicated than those of other ball sports.

In football, you score only when you kick the ball into the goalkeeper's gate, and in basketball, you score only when you throw the ball into the opposite basket.

Baseball is different.

The baseball field is fan-shaped, with home base as the starting point, plus first base, second base, and third base forming a diamond shape, called the infield. The other in-bounds areas are called the outfield.

The distance between any bases is ninety feet. The offensive team swings the bat in turn at home plate to hit the ball thrown by the defensive pitcher. After an effective hit, they start running the bases. One point is counted only when they pass first base, second base, third base and finally return to home plate.
