The same thing can have completely different effects in the eyes of different people.
For example, Shiratsu hits base.
To be honest, it was not a pretty hit, but it was solid. The most important thing is the significance of its appearance. The pitcher that Seihou High School just replaced was hit only in the face of the second batter he faced from Seidou, and it was not the Clean up of Seidou who won the hit, but a batter at the end of the lineup, the Eight Batter.
Dangerous.
Regardless of whether the audience supports Seidou High School or Seihou High School, the result in front of them tells them the fact that it will be difficult for Seihou High School to keep the score.
"Nice job, Shiratsu!"
"Let's connect the lineup, Sakai."
In the eyes of the players in the rest area of Seidou, this result was normal. It's enough to have trouble dealing with Akutsu, and it would be too embarrassing to deal with a nameless pitcher and Seidou High School can't get a hit.
After all, there are too few pitchers like Sawamura, Narumiya, and Akutsu.
Ping!
After Shiratsu went to base, Sakai hit an infield grounder.
Facing an opponent who didn't know his strength at all, Sakai was obviously powerless.
Of course, if you give him a few chances and play against the backup pitcher of Seihou a few times, he's also very likely to hit a hit.
However, the first round of the showdown depends on luck.
Obviously, Sakai's luck in this game is not good.
Two Outs, a runner at first base.
On the surface, such a situation is not particularly favorable for Seidou High School.
But it's not the case, the next turn is the Seidou High School's very capable starter.
Even if they have two Outs now, if they have consecutive hits, the probability of leading the score is still not small.
"Kuramochi!"
"Kuramochi!!!"
In the stands, many of the spectators who came from Tokyo on purpose knew Kuramochi, even though Kuramochi had not played much in this game. But now, the opponent was not Akutsu. Everyone understands that it is not a shame to face the top pitchers in the country, and not perform well.
But now the backup pitcher at Seihou High School is different, and his strength is very average.
Against this guy, it's not hard to get hits with Kuramochi's skills.
"Hyaa-ha-haa!"
Kuramochi's own fighting spirit was also very strong right now, and his eyes frequently turned to the pitcher on the mound.
At the same time, out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced quietly in the direction of first base.
At the position of first base, Shiratsu seemed to have received some kind of hint and slowly moved to second base.
The backup pitcher at Seihou High School looked nervous and immediately threw a diversion ball at the sight of Shiratsu leaving first base.
"Safe!"
At that time, Shiratsu left first base, just two meters away, and it was very easy to turn back.
He probably didn't think that he would shake the backup pitcher of Seihou High School so easily.
"You are too nervous, relax!"
"Two Outs, two Outs!"
"Pitch to contact!"
Feeling the anxiety, Players at Seihou, start to cheer for the pitcher.
right now, the backup pitcher at Seihou High School was barely quiet.
'Concentrate on dealing with batter.'
Whoosh!
He made his stride and threw his first pitch at Kuramochi.
Before he could throw the ball, Shiratsu, who was on first base, trotted to second base.
By the time he pitched, Shiratsu had already run one-third of the distance.
Kuramochi on the strike zone smiled knowingly. He adjusted his stance, switched from normal hitting to bunting, and knocked the ball to first base.
Ping!
The backup pitcher at Seihou High School was several levels less than Akutsu in all the skills. It was not difficult for Kuramochi to knock his pitch in a certain direction with precision.
The ball was knocked by Kuramochi and was successfully bunt to first base.
Then Kuramochi-kun also dashed to first base.
With this bunt, Kuramochi is very confident that he would be able to hit base smoothly.
Judging from the way Akutsu received the ball before, he was not familiar with the position of first base.
With how difficult it was for him to receive the ball, let alone defend.
Of course, Kuramochi's daring bunt to first base wasn't just because of Akutsu's defense.
Another reason is that the level of the current backup pitcher Seihou is not high.
Even if Akutsu had time to catch and return the ball, the pitcher would not have time to cover the first base.
Double insurance!
'No matter how cunning you are, you can only be at the feet of this Kuramochi-sama!'
Thinking of this, Kuramochi is very proud. When he was fighting on the streets before, every time he went to fight with his friends, he especially liked to find the opponent's gap.
Otherwise, with his not large stature, how can he come and go, as if he were no one?
Kuramochi is very confident in his own insight.
But the reality love to sucker punch people in the face. Akutsu, who had behaved like a layman in fielding before, started to run forward before Kuramochi bunt.
It seemed that he had long expected that Kuramochi would definitely bunt right now.
Indeed, the newly-replaced Seihou High School backup pitcher didn't make it to first base for the first time.
But their second baseman, as if he had been instructed before, started running to first base in advance.
Akutsu picked up the ball and passed it back directly to first base, and Seihou's second baseman also covered the first base bag right now.
SNAP!
"OUT!"
Clean and neat, like they have been training to do it for a long time.
Kuramochi-sama was happy for two seconds before he was Out of the play.
'He predicted my intentions!'
Right now, no matter how rash Kuramochi was, he knew he was being played in the hands of someone.
When passing by Akutsu, he asked with a dull voice.
"How did you guess I would bunt to first base?"
"Is this hard to guess? After all, if you want revenge on me, will you not make me look bad as long as you have the chance?"
If you want to accurately predict the opponent's movements, in addition to the information you have, you must also understand the opponent's character.
Just like Kuramochi, as long as there is a chance, he will definitely take revenge.
This is his character.
