Chapter 40: Growth! (Tribute to the Runaway Little Chubby)

Why? Why? Why? ? ? ?

There was a question mark in Sawamura's mind. He really couldn't figure out how the other party guessed that he was throwing the ball. To know how much he floated on the floating ball, he would not even communicate with Feng Xiangao.

Without the secret code, it is naturally impossible to be seen through.

"Is it a coincidence?"

Unable to think of the reason, Sawamura could only guess. It's just that Sawamura snuffed out this idea as soon as it came up. The first and second bats aimed at the ball, the third also guessed the changing ball, and the fourth blew the ball away.

There are so many coincidences in this world?

"Nagano Metropolis! Eternal King!!!"

"Nagano, Metropolis!!!"

Just when Sawamura's heart was in a mess, the fans who supported Nagano Metropolis around gave out cheers that shook the stadium.

This game, although it looks like the two sides are evenly matched. But even their fans of Nagano Metropolis do not think that Nagano Metropolis has a chance to come back. Sawamura's pitching dominance is too strong, so strong that they, the melon eaters, can't see the slightest hope of winning.

Sawamura, who seemed to be undefeated now, was finally conquered, and they finally saw a glimmer of hope.

In the cowshed of Nagano Metropolitan High School.

Fengxiang Longyi's eyes were all placed on Sawamura.

His strategy just now, although there was a lot of luck, was always successful. I wonder if such a blow is enough to defeat Sawamura? It would be perfect to say that Sawamura could be knocked down.

Although Akagi's team has grown, without Sawamura, they are still not at the same level as Nagano Metropolis.

"Ha~ hehe!"

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura chuckled softly.

The two lives made him more mature and know more, but they did not add IQ to him, making them the kind of genius with agility.

Thinking about it, Sawamura didn't understand what was going on just now. What is the opponent guessing his pitch based on?

However, he knew exactly what he was going to do next.

He needs to get the last out to help the team hold the inning.

"I'll let them fight out, and the defense behind them will be handed over to everyone!"

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura opened his arms and said with a smile.

Despite the loss of points, Sawamura's face did not have the slightest hint of decadence. It seems that Nagano Metropolis has brought them only some small tests, and defeating them is not a problem at all.

Eijun!

team leader! !

Xiaorong! ! !

The little friends looked at the confident Sawamura, and their hearts were inexplicably relieved, and the originally nervous emotions also relaxed.

Yeah, we have Sawamura, how can we lose?

"Let them call and we'll stop it."

"We are here!"

"Two outs, two outs!!!"

After encountering hardships, after the ace pitcher Sawamura was hit in a timely manner, Akagi's friends did not show the slightest despair, but showed an indomitable fighting spirit.

They have really grown up!

Not just in the game, but also in their hearts. Akagi is no longer Sawamura's one-man team, although Akagi still uses Sawamura as the core of offense and defense. Without Sawamura, their strength is not strong.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"strike out!!!"

Float, change-up, change-up...

Sawamura neatly used three change balls to solve the opponent, won the last outs, and completed the defense of Akagi in this round.

Such strikes are undoubtedly very boosting morale.

Nagano Metropolitan's fifth bat, he is not very good at changing the ball. For Sawamura, who temporarily sealed the straight ball,

is an ideal opponent.

After the first half of the fourth round, Sawamura returned to the bullpen and called Fengxiang Ouichi, Cangyue Wakana, Sano, and Wada together to discuss countermeasures.

One person counts short, everyone counts long!

Since Sawamura couldn't think of anything on his own, he could only pin his hopes on others.

"The pitch was seen through?"

Hota exclaimed in surprise.

Sano scratched his forehead and glanced at Wada in dissatisfaction.

Hetian also realized that he was making a fuss, and quickly shut up.

Sano said in a low voice, "Don't you have several sets of secret codes to use in turn? Since you've been seen through, why not change another set?"

Sawamura smiled bitterly: "It shouldn't be that simple. The ball I played against Tuhara was to trick him into playing high-flying, and there was no need to signal the angle of the flying ball. But that ball was still seen through. Coincidence, four times in a row, it's too coincidental to say it's a coincidence."

Ruo Cai's beautiful little faces were twisted together, and she muttered with a frown: "You can see through it without a secret code. Is it possible that they will not be counted?"

After listening to her analysis, everyone knew that she was joking, and no one said anything.

Although Nagano Metropolitan's coach is very famous, he has never heard anyone say that he can tell fortunes and has the ability to predict the future. If he really had that ability, Nagano Metropolitan would not have been suppressed by Tenryuji all the time. They have already made it to the country and won the national championship.

However, Sawamura's heart moved. He had suspected that the secret code he used could not be seen through, but Cang Yue reminded him.

Fortune-telling is impossible, but guessing the ball is not entirely impossible.

Since it is a guess, there must be a basis for it. At least he needs to be able to tell the difference between a change ball and a straight ball...

Cang Yue accidentally opened a window for him, allowing Sawamura to see some light.

"You don't have to think too complicated, the other party may have just caught one or two small loopholes."

The most unprofessional here is Sano, and he can't help much if he comes up with ideas, so he can only comfort him like this.

"What did you just say?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Sawamura's mind, as if he had caught something.

"I didn't say anything."

"No, that's what I said earlier."

"Oh, I said the other party might have just caught a small loophole or two..."

Sawamura nodded with a smile on his face.

He figured it out!

It's shameful to say that it was none other than Sawamura himself who really led everyone into the ditch. This was also related to his previous life experience. As the little prince of change ball, what kind of ball path Sawamura throws has always been the focus of fans' attention.

Ten years later, countless high-definition cameras, aerial shots, and computers are staring at him. Let Sawamura subconsciously have a kind of arrogant feeling that there are always people who want to harm me. Once the ball was hit in a row, he wondered if someone saw through his path.

But in fact, although Nagano Metropolitan's coaches and players are excellent, their ability to collect information is absolutely impossible to match those of professional scouts. Those scouts couldn't sum up Sawamura's ball, let alone Nagano's.

Coming out of this misunderstanding, Sawamura almost instantly understood what the loophole Nagano Metropolis really discovered was.

"Next, let's have a good time, Nagano Metropolis!"
