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

In the second ball, Kitahara Takashi still hit a straight ball.

Because he had only been playing for a short time, he could only throw straight balls.

At best, he could only barely adjust the landing direction. If he really rubbed the baseball hard, he himself wouldn't know where it would fly.

The wind was howling, and in an instant, the white ball flew out.

The moment Kitahara Takashi made a pitching motion, Sudo Ken immediately swung the bat.

He knew that it would be too late to just rely on his eyes, and thinking that Kitahara Takashi could only throw straight balls, he might as well take a gamble.

"It's a bad ball, don't swing!"

Nanyun Miyabi shouted at Sudo Ken.

Swish!

Sudo Ken's swing missed.

The white ball is trapped, but outside the strike zone.

It should have been a ball, but Sudo Ken swung, and the ball turned into a strike.

"Two strikes!"

The referee announced the result.

"Kitahara! Kithara! Kithara!"

Cheers rang out again from many cheering seats in Aoba.

"Idiot, why are you swinging the bat!"

Nanyun Miyabi rarely lost her composure and shouted at Sudo Ken.

"Are you brainless?"

When the weather is hot, it is easy for people to become restless and irritable.

Moreover, when you are standing in a place where everyone is cheering for your enemies and insulting and cursing you, it is very difficult to calm down.

"you shut up!"

Sudo Ken also had a bad temper, and he turned around and yelled at Nan Yun Miya.

"Is it your turn to speak?"

Nanyun Masaharu saw that Sudo Ken was still so arrogant after losing a point, so she didn't tolerate him. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Horikita Manabu said in a deep voice: "That's enough, isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Kitahara Tsutomu saw everything and smiled.

The last shot was actually his problem.

His left hand is not his dominant hand, so it is impossible for him to catch all the balls.

But so what?

He can throw a bad ball, but Ken Sudo, do you dare not catch it?

He dare not.

The biggest difference between Kitahara's straight balls and those of other players is the speed of the ball.

His ball speed is too fast.

It was so fast that no one else had time to tell whether it was a good shot or a bad shot.

You swing the bat, and even a ball can be turned into a strike if you hit it.

But if you don’t swing the bat, what if that ball is a good one?

'Confused, restless, upset, anxious...'

After the referee came on the field to give a warning, Kitahara Takashi placed one foot on the ground for support and raised the other foot high.

This final doesn't start from the beginning of the game.

It starts from the moment the audience enters the venue.

Why are there so many people coming to Qingye?

Because all of these people were summoned by Kitahara Tun and Yozakura Hitomi.

Kitahara Takashi doesn't understand baseball, but he understands football and basketball.

There is a term in football and basketball: Devil's home court.

Every cheer and every word of encouragement from the audience to Aoba will greatly boost the players' self-confidence.

And every verbal abuse, insult and discrimination against Gaodu Yucheng will make them more restless and irritable.

Can a child who is praised and a child who is belittled every day be the same?

Maybe Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Horikita Manabu can remain calm, but what about others?

Kitahara Takashi has been preparing since before the competition started.

"Horikita Manabu, the game is over from the beginning."

Kitahara Takashi stepped on the ground with one foot, smoke and dust filled the air, and his body was like a siege catapult throwing out baseballs.

"Strike? Ball? Should I swing or not?"

After having a quarrel with Nanyun Miyabi, although he tried to persuade her, this time when facing the baseball thrown by Kitahara Takashi, Sudo Ken was hesitant for a moment, not knowing whether he should swing the bat.

Now Ken Sudo is like a new author who is being taught how to write a novel by readers. He doesn't know whether he should listen or not, and has no idea what he should do.

"Swing!"

Ken Sudo couldn't hear who shouted this, and he waited until the baseball "bang" entered the catcher's glove before swinging the bat.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

"Isn't this big fool here to make people laugh?"

"It was funny that he only remembered to swing the bat after the ball had already gone into the cage."

"Highly bred people are always producing weird things! One takes the initiative, and the other is a little slow to react."

The audience's laughter reached Sudo Ken's ears, and he felt like a monkey performing acrobatics in the zoo.

The key point is that this bastard Kitahara Tsutomu raised his arm at this time, indicating that the laughter should be louder.

"This damn bastard!"

Sudo Ken's eyes were bloodshot.

His remaining rationality advised him not to act impulsively.

But even so, he was already on the verge of going berserk.

"He's trying to provoke Sudou."

Sitting in the bullpen, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka saw everything. He could tell at a glance that everything Kitahara Takashi did was to make Sudo go berserk.

"Yes."

Kōhei Katsuragi also noticed it.

Not only him, most people could see it.

But Ken Sudo couldn't see it and was still deeply involved in it.

“What a horrible person.”

He acted with the Aoba coaching staff, blasting Rokusuke Takaharaji off the court and angering Ken Sudo on the spot.

From the very beginning, Kitahara Takashi didn't want to defeat Koukou Cultivation, but to completely destroy the team.

"Who's up next?"

"Nan Yunya."

After Sudo Ken was substituted by Minamigumo Masaru, Kitahara Takashi switched his gloves to his right hand.

When Sudo Ken returned to the bullpen and saw this scene, his eyes turned red.

When I come on the court, you use your left hand, and when I leave the court, you use your right hand. Isn't this discrimination?

He was clearly looking down on me.

He was originally thinking about whether to persuade Sudo Ken, but after seeing this scene, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka gave up.

*

Nan Yunya was originally very angry with Sudo Ken, but when he saw him using his right hand, he suddenly became excited.

As we all know, Kitahara Takashi's right hand was injured.

But when he saw himself on the court, he had to use his right hand despite the injury. What did that mean?

This means that Kitahara Tsutomu is afraid of him.

"bring it on."

Nan Yunya whispered, tightening her grip on the bat.

Kitahara Tsutomu moved his right arm and it was still very painful, but now was not the time to retreat.

Unlike Nanyun Masa and Sudo Ken, he must demand stability.

Before going on stage, Kensuke Amatani had already assigned which enemy to deal with with which hand.

A good coach has a huge impact on the team.

You're right, Ten Hag.

Taking a deep breath, Kitahara Zun waved his arms.

At the same time, Nanyun Masaya swung the bat.

"Beep! 166 km/h!"

"A good shot!"

too fast.

Nan Yunya suddenly understood why Kitahara Takashi's straight ball was so difficult to catch.

Facing this kind of ball head-on is completely different from watching a video.

After receiving the ball, Kitahara Takashi didn't hesitate. He endured the tearing pain in his right arm and launched Popeye again.

"Beep! 166 km/h!"

"Two strikes!"

"Beep! 165 km/h!"

"Strikeout!"

"hateful--!"

Nan Yunya was filled with anger towards herself.

The speed was still so fast that he had no way of hitting it.

"Out, offense and defense exchange."

the referee yelled.

"coming!"

"Kitahara Takashi single-handedly ended the highly cultivated offensive frenzy."

"He will always be Aoba's strongest defensive gate."

"You can always be Kitahara-san!"

"Now it's finally Aoba's turn to attack."

Those who were excited along with the commentary included those who came from far away to cheer for Aoba.

Among these people are graduates, fans of Kitahara Takashi, students who support Aoba, and even parents of students.

All the players left the field, and just as Kitahara Takashi was about to walk back to the bullpen, the group in the front row began to crowd towards the wire mesh.
