Chapter 25: Nine 3s
"Safety!"
When Sawamura touched the home plate with his hand, there was an atmosphere of madness.
Despite this bunt walk, it was far less exciting than a home run. But Akagi's team tacit understanding and smooth attack rhythm are still pleasing to the eye.
As a die-hard supporter of Sawamura, a loyal fan of Akagi Middle School, and brothers of the "Brotherhood of Bare Heart", they are even more aware of Akagi's progress.
At this time, Akagi had completely turned into a strong team. Their tactical execution ability has already taken shape.
It is only natural that a team that can make it to the semi-finals of Nagano Prefecture has such a level. But Akagi is different. Think about Akagi's performance a year ago and look at it now. These are completely two teams.
At this moment, the brothers of the Akagi Brotherhood, under the leadership of Dalin and Xiaolin, frantically cheered Akagi.
One by one, they blushed and danced on the court, and they didn't care about the sweat, which spread on the bodies of their partners.
Those who supported Dabei Middle School on the other side did not respond.
The performance of the cheerleading team is closely related to the performance of the players on the court. As far as this game is concerned, it's not that the cheerleaders of Dabei Middle School don't want to cheer for their team, but they simply can't see the hope of their team winning.
As one of the three kings of Nagano Prefecture, it would be frustrating to say such words, but it is the truth. The two games just now made the students who support Dabei Middle School realize that it is difficult for them to win this game.
Although the three kings claim to be neck and neck, there are also upper and lower ranks among them. Of course, the best among the three kings is Tianlong Temple Middle School, but they have just won the East Asian Army and the top four in the country.
Not to mention anything else, Nagano Metropolitan and Dabei High School had to back away from this achievement alone.
After all, these two schools represented Nagano Prefecture in the Kanto Conference, but they stopped at the Kanto Conference, and they never entered the country.
Tenryuji is the first place, although the second and third results are similar, but in the process of the two teams facing each other, it is difficult for Dabei High School to win Nagano Metropolis.
In this way, the result is obvious, Dabei Middle School is at the bottom of the three kings.
The money investment is the highest, the most professional coaches are found, and the various training facilities are also the most advanced.
Under such circumstances, Dabei Middle School is still not the opponent of Tenryuji Middle School and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, and they naturally have to find reasons.
Looking around, the reason is actually very simple. If you simply talk about the strength gap between the players, Dabei Middle School is not necessarily worse than the other two schools. The reason why they couldn't beat Tenryuji Junior High and Nagano Metropolitan Junior High School was simply because they didn't have pitchers who could hold down the scene.
Tenryuji Middle School, the pride of Nagano Prefecture, Nanami Haruka. Nagano Metropolitan High School also has the fastest pitcher in the prefecture, Mari.
Against a pitcher like this, it's hard for them to get hits, let alone score. Of course, that's just one reason why they can't beat their opponents. In addition to this reason, another important reason is because they don't have such a pitcher on the team who can hold down the scene.
On the one hand, there is no way to overcome the opponent's pitcher to score points, and on the other hand, he can't stop the score from being lost.
Let me ask, how do they play in such a game?
So in the past two years, Dabei Middle School has developed a heart disease, and every time it plays against Nagano Metropolitan Middle School and Tenryuji Middle School, I can't help but tremble.
Now their tragic discovery, not only against those two schools, they will have such an ominous feeling.
They also felt the same way against the newly emerging Akagi Middle School baseball team.
When attacking, there is no way to completely conquer, Sawamura Eijun pitching.
When guarding,
Their team has no way to stop Akagi Middle School, and the steady attack rhythm.
They were all too familiar with this ominous feeling. They had already expected the defeat of the game, and naturally they were not in the mood to cheer.
As if to confirm their guesses, the next game situation was exactly what they thought. The little friends of Chicheng Middle School often hit the ball. Thanks to the solid defense of Dabei Middle School, they did not lose any points at the beginning. In the second half of the fourth inning, Sawamura Eijun sent him back to home plate as soon as Feng Xiangou hit a hit, extending Akagi's lead to two points in one breath.
At the end of the four innings on the other side, the players of Dabei Middle School have not scored any hits from Sawamura so far.
Sawamura was like an iron fence, guarding the runway leading to first base, preventing the runners from Dabei Middle School from advancing.
"Nine strikeouts!"
In the stands, Feng Xiang and Long Yi felt a very unusual atmosphere. When he first met Sawamura Eijun last year, he was also surprised. He didn't expect to play such a ruthless character.
At that time, Fengxiang Longyi realized that Sawamura Eijun would probably be their ultimate enemy of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School in the next two years. It's just that at that time, he didn't know that Sawamura could evolve to this level.
The strength Sawamura showed at this time was far more than just an enemy.
Dabei Middle School, the first in Nagano Prefecture to play the line, was completely helpless against Sawamura. If they were replaced by Nagano, what would happen?
With their strength, I am afraid it is difficult to get hits and points from Sawamura Eijun!
"You have to find a way to deal with him!"
After the quarter-finals, there is still a full week before the semi-finals and finals begin. In this week, enough Fengxiang Longyi came up with a few countermeasures.
With a total score of 2:0, Chicheng Middle School led Dabei Middle School by two points and ushered in the fifth game of the game.
In the first half of the fifth inning, Dabei Middle School attacked.
Because until now, Dabei Middle School has not won any hits from Sawamura, so it is still their fourth hit, Matsumoto Kenen.
Seeing Matsumoto Kenyuan on stage, the melon-eating crowd of Dabei Middle School finally came to a sense of spirit.
Before, the reason why Dabei Middle School could barely compete with Tenryuji Middle School and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School was that it relied on Matsumoto Kenen.
It is precisely because of his existence that Dabei Middle School is the first line in Nagano Prefecture.
"Humph, interesting."
The opponent, who was originally sullen, suddenly seemed to have energy.
Sawamura on the pitcher's hill clearly realized the status of Matsumoto Kenyuan in Dabei Middle School.
In the face of such an opponent and such a critical situation, Sawamura almost cried out with excitement!
The more the other party has expectations for Matsumoto Kenen, the more he wants to knock Matsumoto Kenen into the dust.
