Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 19 The Immortal Strikeout (Second Update)

In the welcome game, in the first half of the seventh inning, the freshman team attacked.

Sawamura, who had just finished pitching, thanked Haruichi Kominato for his save and encouraged his teammates around him.

"I feel that everyone has been able to gradually grasp the trajectory of the opponent's pitch, and our next task is to hit the ball."

Because he pitches well, he can lead the team to compete with second- and third-year seniors.

The freshmen's trust in Sawamura has also increased a lot than before.

But even so, they didn't think it would be a simple matter to get points from pitcher Kawakami.

"That kind of side shot feels like it's coming from behind. You can't catch it at all..."

"You don't know anything."

Faced with everyone's doubts, Sawamura did not get angry.On the contrary, he explained to everyone very patiently.

"Now, let's not think about the outcome of the game, but just think about what we can do? Are you willing to end the game like this? Anyway, I am not willing to do so. No matter what the final result is, I will always give it a try. I have tried it. Only in the future can we have hope of success, right?”

At this time, Sawamura's body seemed to be shrouded in light.

The first-year rookie players were obviously convinced by him.

They join the Seido High School baseball team, obviously they all have their own ambitions.

If they were really asked to give up the game like this, they would obviously not be willing to do so.

"Then give it a try!"

"The results in junior high school don't matter. Everything is cleared when we get here. If we still want to perform and attract the attention of the supervisors, we can only rely on ourselves. If we don't have this awareness, we might as well give up the competition. The position is given to those who are enlightened!”

The boy with his hair covering his eyes also followed suit.

"Who do you two think you are?"

Although Kanemaru is unwilling to obey the two of them.

But even he had to admit that the two of them were indeed the biggest help to their current team.

"Whose turn is it next?"

Sawamura looked around.

He obviously wanted to find the batter who was coming on and give him a few words of advice.

This is a problem he inherited when he was a captain in junior high school.

"Are you an idiot? Didn't you check your position before going on the field? It's you, idiot!"

Although the tone of my companions is not good.

But Sawamura Eijun could still feel that the atmosphere in the freshman team had changed unconsciously.

"Then you just wait and see, I will definitely hit the ball."

Sawamura Eijun picked up the bat in his hand and swung it several times with great momentum.

Seeing his posture, the first grade friends couldn't help but have expectations.

The previous blow to Gu Xiao was still fresh in everyone's memory.

If Sawamura Eijun can also perform well in this aspect.

Then maybe they can really have some hope.

The atmosphere of the team now is completely different from before.

At that time, Akatsuki Furi's outstanding hitting and hitting alone were obviously not enough to change anything.

But at this time, as long as Sawamura can get on base.

Even if it's a bunt and a walk, they will find a way to help their freshman team score a run.

Unknowingly, the players on the rookie team had been completely infected by Sawamura.

They began to expect different performances and performances in this game.

They can also make the supervisor of the Seido High School baseball team look at him differently.

"This is the kid who struck out Senior Dong!"

As a person who has experienced it personally, all this in Kawakami's mind is like it just happened yesterday.

He licked his chapped lips, exuding strong fighting spirit.

Maybe the young man misunderstood at that time and thought that Senior Dong was bullying him, so he helped him stand up.

But from Kawakami's own standpoint.

In fact, he has always been very grateful to Senior Dong for his teaching at that time. If it weren't for that senior's encouragement, it would have been difficult for him to get out of the haze of touching the ball.

Not to mention becoming an important relief pitcher for the Seido High School baseball team like he is now. "Then I will let you experience my pitching, and I will repay you and Higashi-senpai!"

Facing Sawamura who glared at him, Kawakami smiled knowingly.The pitching in his hands also began to become full of life.

"Whoosh!"

White baseball, whizzing out.

Not to mention the first-year newcomers, even the third-year seniors were very surprised.

"Kawakami is in good condition today!"

"Maybe he was motivated by the guy who struck out senior Dong Dong."

No matter what the reason is, everyone is very optimistic about Kawakami's pitching.

That is, those first-year newcomers are still looking forward to Sawamura's different performance on the court at this time.

However, it was beyond their expectations.

Although Sawamura's swing was aggressive, he was unable to touch the baseball.

He worked really hard, and it could even be said that he even used up his strength to feed himself.

But his swing is still very far away from baseball.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!!"

After scoring two good goals in succession, Kawakami was still not happy.

At the last moment, he used his newly honed changeup.

Faced with such a changing ball, Sawamura Eijun was naturally unable to resist, and his last swing failed.

In the Qingdao First Army, the senior who was in the same dormitory as Sawamura smiled like a heartless fool.

"Haha, this kid is really deflated!"

"What a non-stick person!"

"The victory is divided!"

However, when they said this, Miyuki, who was sitting in the corner wearing glasses, and Haruichi Kominato, who was following Sawamura, shouted in unison.

"not yet!"

It turned out that Kawakami's last sharp change ball not only deceived Sawamura, but also deceived Ono, who was the catcher at this time.

He is the main catcher of the second team.

"Snapped!"

The baseball hit Ono's glove and bounced out.

"Don't die, strike out!"

The catcher did not catch the ball, and although Sawamura was still considered a strikeout, at this time, according to baseball rules, he was obviously not out yet.

Sawamura's wild reflexes helped him.The moment he saw the baseball missed, his mind didn't think of anything, and his body went crazy and ran towards first base.

Ono gritted his teeth and picked up the ball.

"How naive!"

He endured the pain in his body and passed the ball to first base.

However, the time it took him to do all this was a little too long.

Although he endured his physical discomfort and passed the ball to first base, it was a pity that he was a step slow.

When the baseball was passed, Sawamura also successfully stepped onto first base.

He became the second person to set foot on the bases after Akatsuki Fanggu.

"Safety!"

No one out, first base man.

There was quite a commotion in the newcomers' rest area.

Everyone obviously didn't expect that Sawamura actually got on base?
Although this process is completely different from what they thought.

But it cannot be denied that the final result is good.
