Chapter 637 - 637: King Of Speed

"Hakuryu High School's hitting is a bit weak!"

Isashiki Jun exclaimed.

The second semi-final of the Kanto Tournament had been hotly contested for three innings.

Although neither team had scored, their situations were completely different.

In the first three innings, Inashiro Industrial had secured three hits, showing very strong offense.

The only reason they hadn't scored yet was a lack of luck.

Hakuryu High School, on the other hand, facing Inashiro Industrial's relief pitcher, hadn't managed to get a single hit so far.

This kind of offensive power, in the eyes of the Seido High School Baseball Team's teammates, was somewhat insufficient.

"Don't underestimate Inashiro's relief pitcher. If it weren't for Narumiya Mei, he would be a qualified Ace for Inashiro."

Chris said objectively.

Inashiro's third-year relief pitcher was in the same grade as Chris and also from Tokyo.

If their team didn't have an Ace like Narumiya Mei, his reputation would definitely not be inferior to Manaka and Tanba.

"I thought Hakuryu could give Inashiro some trouble, but now it seems…"

Itai shook his head.

"Why do you have no sense of team honor? After all, we are all teams from Tokyo."

Kominato Ryosuke asked with a smile.

"That's not what I meant."

Itai was at a loss for words.

The Seido High School Baseball Team's players were undoubtedly in a very complex mood.

From the perspective of Tokyo players, they naturally hoped that Inashiro Industrial, also from Tokyo, could win smoothly.

But as opponents, to be honest, they weren't too keen on facing their arch-rival, Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team, in the final.

Not to mention their brilliant performance in the Spring Koshien, just look at the two games the Seido High School Baseball Team played against Inashiro Industrial since the end of last Summer Tournament.

One was in last year's Autumn Tournament, and the other was an exhibition game at the beginning of this year.

The Seido High School Baseball Team lost both times to Inashiro.

Even if they were stubborn, they couldn't deny that, at this stage, the threat posed by Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team far exceeded Hakuryu High School.

But that's how life is; what you least want to happen often happens right before your eyes.

"It's still too early to say. The key is who can score the first point? The team that can break the deadlock at this point will undoubtedly have a certain advantage."

Zhang Han said.

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Hakuryu High School.

Compared to Inashiro, the current situation was undoubtedly more unfavorable for Hakuryu High School.

They not only needed to score first but also needed to get Narumiya Mei off the field as soon as possible.

Inashiro Industrial had suffered losses in this regard before, so they definitely wouldn't keep their Ace until the very end.

In this situation, if Hakuryu High School still couldn't get Narumiya Mei off the field quickly, it would mean that Inashiro Industrial had been firmly in control.

"So strong!"

Although his own team's teammates were already very complete in every position, Zhang Han still had to admit that, compared to them, Inashiro Industrial's team seemed even more excellent.

Of the nine positions on the baseball team, about three positions were evenly matched between the two teams.

One or two positions, the Seido High School Baseball Team had a slight advantage.

For the remaining three or four positions, the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team's players were undoubtedly more outstanding.

Especially after winning the Spring Koshien championship, the entire team's demeanor had undergone a complete transformation.

Even after the defeat in the Spring Tournament, their momentum didn't diminish in the slightest.

The game continued, top of the third inning, Hakuryu High School was hitting.

After a period of silence, they finally got on First Base.

"Ping!"

Mima Soichiro, the First Batter, was the first to hit the ball and quickly ran to First Base.

No outs, runner on First Base.

At the gathering place of the Seido High School Baseball players, the teammates were all amazed when they saw this scene.

That kind of speed was something the Seido High School Baseball Team's players had not anticipated before.

Compared to him, Kuramochi of their team and Carlos of Inashiro Industrial seemed to be inferior to this man in this aspect.

"Mima's parents were both National Team track and field athletes. Mima Soichiro must have inherited his parents' excellent genes."

Chris took out his notebook and said.

Zhang Han was really curious and wanted to snatch Chris's notebook to see what exactly was recorded inside.

It seemed that he not only recorded opponents of the Seido High School Baseball Team but also some nationally renowned players.

Moreover, his records were not limited to the players themselves but also included their family backgrounds and growth environments.

It would be one thing if a phone could record so much, but how could a small notebook contain so much content?

The Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team was somewhat unprepared for this sudden situation.

During the subsequent pitch, the pitcher inevitably diverted too much attention to Mima.

But even so, he couldn't stop Mima's actions.

Almost the moment the pitcher started his windup, Mima immediately stole a base.

"Don't look down on me!"

At the catcher position, Harada, who was responsible for catching the ball, didn't even stand up after receiving the ball.

He threw the ball while squatting.

Although these postures were extremely awkward, his throwing speed was quite astonishing.

The white baseball instantly crossed more than thirty meters and appeared at Second Base.

Shirakawa, seeing Mima steal, had already started moving a step ahead and was already waiting at Second Base.

"What coordination, it's amazing!"

Some reporters in the stands couldn't help but clap their hands in admiration.

Inashiro Industrial truly lived up to its reputation as the team that dominated the Spring Koshien; their completeness was just that high.

However, their speed was fast, but Mima's speed was even faster.

The moment the baseball was thrown, Shirakawa had just caught the ball in his glove and hadn't had time to react.

Mima had already stepped on Second Base.

"Safe!"

"No outs, runner on Second Base."

The Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team's players were a bit stunned when they saw this scene.

In the Hakuryu High School dugout, the players were excitedly cheering for Mima.

Their Coach was a slender young man.

The young man held a stopwatch in his hand, and the number on the watch stopped at two point nine eight seconds.

This was Mima's Second Base stealing speed.

"Inashiro Industrial's reaction is really fast! Even most of our team's players can't easily steal a base. However, Mima is definitely an exception."
