Chapter 27: Strong! (2 in 1)
Don't die, don't strike out.
"Run!"
Seeing that Jun Matsumoto didn't catch the ball, the friends of Dabei Middle School urged Matsumoto Kenyuan to run forward as if after the catastrophe.
In the case of Kenen Matsumoto, his duel with Sawamura was over when he didn't touch the ball for the last time.
Pushed to the altar, Matsumoto Kenen, known as the No. 1 player in Nagano Prefecture, didn't even touch his opponent's ball hair.
Don't talk about seeing this kind of peer, Matsumoto has never even heard of it.
Like him, someone from a wealthy family has tried all kinds of exercises. With the ball thrown by the pitching machine, even if the speed of the ball reaches 140, he can barely touch the ball. And Sawamura's balls are only one hundred and three.
A ten-kilometer ball speed difference is two completely different worlds. Before Matsumoto Kenyuan was a little reluctant to hit a 140 ball, but he was very comfortable with this kind of ball at a speed of 130 kilometers.
Even in a head-to-head match against Nagano Prefecture's proud Nanami Haruka, Matsumoto never had the experience of not hitting the ball three times in a row.
And against Sawamura, he didn't even touch the ball.
The more confident a person is in one's own ability, the heavier the blow he often suffers when this ability is attacked.
Matsumoto Kenyuan is like this now. He is too confident in his own hitting, so Sawamura's pitching has brought him a heavier hit.
The bat didn't hit the ball, he was dumbfounded for a moment and stayed where he was.
At this time, the shout of the little friend reminded him.
When Matsumoto Kenyuan turned his head subconsciously, he saw that the baseball had fallen behind the catcher.
Like a drowning person, grabbing the last straw. Matsumoto Kenen, who had been stunned in place, suddenly regained his energy and ran desperately in the direction of first base.
The catcher turned back to chase the ball, but there was still time. The ball hit his glove and flew to the back.
The ball can't be counted as an out of bounds, and if he doesn't have time to stop it, Matsumoto will definitely be on first base.
Matsumoto Jun was about to use up his milk strength, and then finally picked up the baseball and passed it to first base. But at this time, is there still time?
Matsumoto Kenyuan had already passed first base, but not only that, he had not stopped at first base and continued to advance towards second base.
"Too despised!"
Oda's eyes were all red. He was about to catch the ball. He didn't expect Kenen Matsumoto to dare to pass the ball to the second base at this time. It was a defiant act of courting death.
After receiving the ball, Oda non-stop sent the ball to second base.
A series of changes stunned Ashin at second base. Seeing Matsumoto rushing towards him, he subconsciously became a little nervous. He hurried to catch Oda's pass, but he could catch it there.
Consecutive mistakes made Matsumoto Kenyuan go to second base in one breath.
No one out, someone at second base!
Akagi Middle School is in crisis.
In the stands, the supporters of Dabei Middle School were in a rush of excitement.
They feel that the teams they support and the people they support are really amazing. But if you really want them to say it, they feel like they can't say it. Dabei Middle School, which runs through Nagano with the line, actually got to base with undead strikeouts, which is really unreasonable.
in the other corner.
Mari frowned and looked at the court: "I really didn't expect that Akagi Middle School would make a shooting error at this time. That catcher is obviously talented."
"What do you mean?"
Tuyuan urn questioned Mari in a loud voice.
His partner, in front of his own face, praised other catchers. Even if Tuyuan is simple in nature, he can't stand it.
Mali smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly remedied: "I mean this kid is not bad, but he can't compare with us Tuhara."
"Just in terms of catching the ball,
That young man is definitely not under Tuyuan, and even more wise. "
Feng Xiang Longyi, who was wearing a suit, said in a deep voice, "I missed the catch just now, probably because the catcher couldn't keep up with the pitcher's rhythm."
"Baseball is a sport that starts after the pitcher throws the ball. Therefore, the person who controls the game is none other than the pitcher himself. The pitcher from Akagi just now seems to have the help of God, and his strength has been far away. It's far beyond the level of Akagi's team. It's even far beyond the level of middle school."
"Faced with such a menacing pitch, Kenyuan Matsumoto could only look at the ball and sigh. And Akagi's own people were obviously a little caught off guard. Obviously, facing Sawamura's pitching rhythm and full-strength pitching, Akagi was also not used to it. So Their catcher misses the catch, and that's why the second baseman hesitates when he's on guard."
"It's like a Maxima pulling a cart. Because the Maxima is good enough, it can naturally pull the cart very quickly, but it can't be too fast. If it's too fast, the cart behind it is likely to fall apart. "
Fengxiang Longyi was completely convinced by Sawamura. Fortunately, in Nagano Prefecture, there is only one guy like Sawamura.
In this way, Nagano Metropolis is not without hope.
On the pitcher mound, Sawamura managed to calm down his excitement.
He really didn't expect that the showdown with Matsumoto would make him so excited. Excited, he couldn't help but burst into full strength!
Even if Sawamura's body is not yet mature, even if his ball speed is only 130, but Sawamura's true strength is already very terrifying.
In high school baseball, the boys gradually matured because of their bodies. To be honest, there is no difference between the bodies of seventeen or eighteen-year-olds and adults, but the gap is already very small. Therefore, in high school, there is no shortage of super geniuses who are fully mature, and there are even many who are super good even if they are dragged into the national and even major leagues. (In the national team, there are also teenagers of seventeen or eighteen who represented the whole country to participate in the Olympic Games. Their strength has surpassed many adults.)
But middle school is different!
The immature body and shallow experience make their overall strength still immature.
Even if Izawamura still doesn't have a mature body, and with his experience in the major leagues, he can easily torture everyone.
The reason why Sawamura didn't do this before was because he was afraid that the consciousness and actions of the friends around him could not keep up with his rhythm. Once the entire team is out of touch, Akagi is over.
Just now, under the stimulation of Matsumoto, Sawamura subconsciously threw away his concerns and started throwing the ball with all his strength.
The result was, of course, tragic for Akagi. But this also allowed Sawamura to see a lot of new possibilities.
It turns out that the little friends around him have improved to this level. Although Matsumoto Jun missed the call just now, his response was very good, and he almost joined forces with Oda to ban Matsumoto Kenyuan from the game.
Although Ashin made a mistake, he also returned to second base for the first time.
In the end, Oda, the entire defense movement, was almost flawless. If it wasn't for Ashin's mistake, Matsumoto Kenyuan's recklessness would have already put him out of the game.
"Looks like I should speed up too!"
Thinking about it, Sawamura's eyes changed, becoming extremely cold and ferocious.
A character who stands out from the crowd on the court, once he really restores his true character on the court, that one is not a good man and a woman.
Sawamura has been in the major leagues for so long, of course, he will not be the kind of character who laughs all day long.
Then Dabei's fifth stick came on.
Sawamura signaled his friends for a defensive bunt, and then unceremoniously threw the ball.
"Whoosh!"
The white ball, like laser light, flew from Sawamura's hand to Jun Matsumoto's open glove.
"Snapped!"
"Strike, strike, strike, strikeout!!!"
"strike out!!!"
"strike out!!!"
With consecutive strikeouts, Sawamura solved the crisis of no one out and a man at second base with little effort.
Originally, he thought that a strong and powerful team like Dabei Middle School would definitely use the method of short play to win a point. Unexpectedly, Dabei Middle School never had such a plan from beginning to end, they always carried out their own style.
Break the deadlock with a powerful swing.
And this approach, for Sawamura, is just right.
For Sawamura, a head-to-head shooting duel is no different from an adult bullying a child. He is really not afraid of Dabei, the strongest player in Nagano.
As the game progressed, Sawamura was like an iron fence, firmly blocking the front of Dabei Middle School. They either get struck out or they fly high, and getting out is incredibly easy.
In this way, the game continued until the second half of the six innings, and the score remained unchanged. When Akagi attacked in this game, he used his cooperation to score another point.
Aside from Matsumoto Kenen's undead strikeout, Sawamura has yet to let anyone in Dabei get over base. The first line in Nagano Prefecture is like a joke in the hands of Sawamura.
The players from Nagano Metropolitan Middle School and Tenryuji Middle School, who came to watch the match, stayed silent one by one.
As the saying goes, if you leave a person for three days, you should be impressed.
To be honest, they haven't played against Sawamura for a long time. I really don't know that the freshman who was still a little immature back then is such a terrible player now.
"Nankai, how do you feel?"
Beside him, a friend asked Qi Hai Haruka.
Nanami Haruka looked at Sawamura on the court coldly, and said in a low voice: "This kid is really stronger. However, I will not lose to him."
Dabei Middle School played against Akagi Middle School, and ended with a 3-0 victory from Akagi Middle School.
A year ago, Akagi Middle School, which could only be unexpected, barely fought against the three kings. Now, he has actually held down Dabei Middle School, one of the three kings, for seven full rounds.
Especially the performance of Sawamura Eijun was even more shocking.
Originally, Sawamura was selected into the list of the top 100 middle school students in the country. There are many people who have objections. How can a person who has no experience in the Kanto Conference or national competitions become one of the top 100 people?
This makes those friends who have participated in the national competition, how can they feel.
Today, I am afraid that very few people will have such an idea.
