The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

Now think back to the time when Sawamura scored a two-run homer, Akagi's friends were so happy and crazy.They originally thought that each other was a hillbilly.

Unexpectedly, it was them who really didn't see.

When they scored those two points, Akagi's friends had already realized that they could win.

They trust their pitcher and trust him to suppress their opponents and help them win...

In the first half of the fifth game, Shilun's trump card Tanaka let Akagi play three times.

In the second half of the fifth round, Zecun also successfully scored three outs.

Unlike the previous strikeouts, this time Zecun was completely waiting for the ball to go out and used his defense to win the out.

A first base flying culled, and a pitcher Qiu directly took it.The other one is home run high...

Akagi, who had been full of loopholes before, had suddenly strengthened his defense.

Although it is still not a real copper wall and iron wall, it is no weaker than Shilun.

At the end of the five games, the score was still 2:0.

In the first half of the sixth round, Akagi played three times again, and it was their turn to end the second shot.In the second half of the sixth inning, Lun Middle School attacked and it was their turn to hit the line again.Speaking of which, this should be Shilun Middle School's last offensive opportunity.Counting on the seventh game to use the middle and lower line to make a comeback is tantamount to a dream.

No matter how much they don't want to accept, they have to admit Zecun's strength.

Chapter 021-Advancing to the Top 16

In the second half of the sixth inning, Shi Lun attacked.

Before Shilun's hitters came on the court, coach Ishikawa mobilized them.

"First of all, I want to apologize to you!"

This kind of opening remark directly confuses Shi Lun's players.

Why does the coach apologize?

"At first I thought that I already attached great importance to Akagi Middle School. Only now I realized that I still despised my opponent. Akagi is much stronger than we thought."

With that, Ishikawa glanced at Akagi's team.

In addition to Sawamura, there are Feng Xiang Ouichi and Oda Honda.Akagi is not Sawamura's one-man team!

This alone is fatal.

With a sigh of chagrin in his heart, Coach Ishikawa regained his spirit and said: "Whether unwilling or careless, the situation of the game is already like this. If we want to reverse, we must score."

Ishikawa's words turned so fast that Shiron's players couldn't make it.Fortunately, what he said is also of concern to everyone.

"Akagi's defense is not suddenly strengthened, and it is not Akagi's defense that is really powerful, but their pitchers."

On the stands.

Classmate Tu Feiyuan looked at his partner incredibly, with a braided little white face: "What the hell is a pitcher? Although there are two shots caught by the pitcher, don't you rely more on the first baseman and the catcher?"

Classmate Xiao Bailian shook his head: "What you see is only the surface, there are actually only three people in Akagi who have real experience and strength."

In the bullpen of Shilun Middle School.

Coach Ishikawa’s voice is a bit low: "Catcher Feng Sho Okichi, first baseman Oda Honjo, and pitcher Sawamura Eizumi. Only three of them are really capable of participating in the defense. The reason why their defense looks so strong is because The pitcher deliberately concentrates the ball on the outside corner and the center. After the ball is hit, it usually falls between the first base and the pitcher. That is, the area where the pitcher Sawamura and first baseman Oda are the core guards..."

After the coach finished speaking, Shi Lun's players looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

A high school pitcher, it's good to throw the ball into the good belt.Accurate control of the ball to the outer corners and the center, this is not what ordinary people can do.

Sawamura Rongchun, where is he sacred?

"In the face of this situation, my advice is that everyone holds a big stick, swings it with all strength, and strives to hit the ball into the field."

Coach Ishikawa said categorically.

"Yes!"

On the stands.

"Shi Lun's coach should have noticed too. If I guess right, Shi Lun should use a big stick to greet Akagi's pitcher."

The little white-faced classmate with pigtails said with interest.

Student Tufeiyuan hesitated and said, "That Akagi is not very dangerous."

"Danger?"

Little Bailian sneered, noncommittal.

In the first half of the six innings, the first striker was Shi Lun Middle School's first shot.

He held the top of the bat with both hands, and he stretched out the ready to strike.

At the position of the catcher, Feng Xiang's eyes flashed, and then decisively signaled Zecun.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura nodded slightly.

The other party has clearly noticed his strategy.Since Sawamura can shoot like this, he certainly knows how to break this kind of pitch.

There are three ways to crack this pitch.The first is to use brute force to penetrate the defense, the second is to fly the ball into the field, and the third is to pull the ball to the third base side.

Pulling this kind of skill is not a skill that Shilun players can master.Brute force to penetrate his defense with Oda is impossible.For Shi Lun, the most likely measure is to use a big stick to hit the ball out into the field.

I have to say that this is also a good strategy.

It's just that Shi Lun discovered that it was a little late. It was not the beginning or the middle of the game, but the later stage of the game.

It's also possible to hit Nakazawa's pitch with a big stick.

"What is your probability? Twenty percent, thirty, or fifty?"

Before the end of the game, can Shi Lun really have a chance?

"Good shot, good shot, good shot, strikeout!"

"Ping!"

After using the big stick for the first shot, he couldn't aim at Zemura's ball for a while and was struck out.Although the second shot hit the ball, the ball did not fly to the field as he wanted. The ball hit the field high, but it was not far away and landed firmly on first base.

Oda Honda took the ball to his own hand effortlessly.

"Out!"

Two outs, no one on base.

Akagi looked closer and closer to victory.

"Ping!"

Just when Shi Lun was about to fall into despair, their core third bat swept the ball to the outfield.

"Koyamazaki!"

Zecun frowned and reminded his teammates to guard.

Koyamazaki failed to determine where the quasi-baseball would fall and missed it.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

Shi Lun's players roared frantically.

Their batter ran up to second base in one go.

Two outs and someone at second base.

Returning to life, Shi Lun once again created a good opportunity to score.

Koyamazaki was ashamed and wanted to find a place to sew in.

"it's okay no problem!!!"

Sawamura first comforted Koyamazaki, and then shouted: "Two out!"

"Two out!"

They have two outs, and they have one more out, they can hold the game.As long as he holds this round, Akagi has at least 80% hope of winning.

"Let him fight, we will stop it."

"Two out!"

At first, when Akagi's little friend shouted like this, it was still very bluffing.It seems that Akagi's team cohesion is high and scary.But now listening to them say that, it feels weird.

At this time, it was Shi Lun's fourth batting turn.

After all, this is the third time Zecun has played against him.

Facing his old opponent, Sawamura kept throwing the ball into the outer corner.

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"The outside world!"

After two consecutive goals, the batter's momentum became stronger and stronger.Sawamura even has a hunch that if he throws the ball into the outside corner again, it is likely to be shot out.

That being the case, then...

"Wow!"

With the last ball, Sawamura threw the ball into the inner corner.Shiron's four sticks, who had been aiming at the outer corners and the center, naturally failed.

"Strike, strikeout!"

Three outs, offensive and defensive exchanges.

In the first half of the seventh inning, Fengxiang and Zecun hit consecutive hits and scored another point.

National competition Nagano Division qualifier, Shilun Middle School VS Akagi Middle School.

In the end, Akagi defeated his opponent 3:0 and advanced to the top 16 of Nagano Prefecture.

After the game, both sides saluted.

Tanaka's eyes were red from crying, and he grabbed Sawamura's hand and said, "Don't lose!"

Zecun nodded his head seriously.

"We won't."

No matter what the final result is, Sawamura has never failed in a game.

Going all out to fight for victory has been carved into his soul with the experience of the previous life.

Chapter 022: We Are A Team

Zecun and Fengxiang originally thought that after the team was promoted, everyone's training should be more active.

But the reality does not seem to be the case.From the beginning of the morning training, the friends of the baseball team were listless.On the second day, even late for training.

According to Feng Xiang's temper, he was prepared to be severely reprimanded.

Fortunately, he was stopped by Zecun.

Although Sawamura doesn't know what happened to everyone?In my impression, even if Akagi kept losing in his previous life, everyone was having fun, and there has never been a situation where training was not active.

Why now, after winning the game, everyone doesn't seem to be very interested?

After Sano knew about it, he was silent for a while, and said, "Everyone, maybe you are aware of the gap?"

"What's the gap?"

Zecun asked puzzledly.

Sano replied: "Although I don't know baseball very well, I can see that you should be the best in the team. The second-year Fengxiang and Oda are also good. The other players are almost novices who know nothing."

"In the beginning, everyone got together for happiness. Practice and competition brought only freshness and satisfaction, and everyone's enthusiasm was naturally high. But as the schedule deepened, especially after meeting Shi Lun. They Finally clearly realize their incompetence, when they can't keep up with you, or when they think they are dragging you down, they will inevitably be lost..."

After all, Zecun was a man for two generations. Although his personality is still simple, he knows a lot.

Sano dialed a little, and he understood.

Friends, there should be a sense of gap.
