The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

The lack of defense of the friends, Zecun can make up for it with his superb pitching.However, the lack of their strike power cannot be solved by Zecun alone.

"There is no other way. Fighting can't be achieved by training overnight. Besides, everyone has different talents, and some people are suitable for attacking."

Sawamura also glanced at Yamaguchi subconsciously.

To be honest, Yamaguchi's progress surprised Sawamura.In the memory of Sawamura's previous life, Yamaguchi's strike strength is also good, and he is the core hitter in the team.

But even so, Yamaguchi did not show his talent like today.In just one year, Oda can catch up in percussion and practice baseball for several years.

If you simply say that in Nagano Prefecture, Yamaguchi is already very powerful.

In this way, Zecun can only comfort himself.In his previous life, Akagi Middle School did not receive formal guidance.But now is different. Akagi Middle School now has at least two professional instructors.

Zecun himself and Feng Xiangaoyi.

They have a professional baseball experience and have been playing baseball for twenty years.One of the most formal Metropolitan Little League in Nagano Prefecture has studied for several years.

Although neither of them had ever been a formal coach, it was enough to instruct the gang of baseball novices who knew nothing at Akagi Middle School.

"The average person may not be so talented at hitting."

Except for Yamaguchi, these little friends in Akagi Middle School performed mediocre performances.

Although Akagi Middle School has mainly practiced defense and passing and receiving during this half year.But they never stopped swinging, swinging a hundred times a day, never stopped.

Plus Zecun’s feeding ball.

The friends at Akagi Middle School have received a lot of exercises, but their strike strength has not grown to the level that Sawamura expected.

In fact, Zecun's heart is very clear.It's not that the friends are making slow progress, but that his heart is too anxious.In a year's time, the blow of the friends has grown a lot.It's just that their growth is far from the players in Tenryuji and Nagano.

Whether it’s Tenryuji Middle School or Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, most of their players are directly introduced from the Little League, and their players’ striking strength is not comparable to those of Akagi Middle School who have just practiced baseball for a year. of.

To put it bluntly, even with the super pitcher Sawamura, the overall strength of Akagi Middle School is still not as good as that of Tenryuji Middle School.

Zecun was not surprised at this point.After all, the practice time for the friends is still very short. If you want to achieve real results, how can it take two or three years to be possible.

They are just now in the second grade, and there is still a full year and a half.The problem is that they have time, but Feng Xiang and Oda don't have so much time. Their time is only half a year. This summer competition has become their last competition.

Twice a year national competitions, Wenchen Cup and summer competition.The summer competition does not limit the grade of players, but the Wenchen Cup is only limited to the first and second grades.

In other words, Feng Xiang Ouichi and Oda, who are already in the third grade, are not eligible to participate in this year's Wenchen Cup national competition qualifiers.

With the current strength of the Akagi Middle School baseball team, it is still very difficult to enter the national competition!

Sawamura sighed in his heart, and then he had different expectations for this match with the freshman.

Since it is indispensable to recruit new members, Zecun still hopes to find a few beaters from the new students who can come in handy.

Don't ask the result, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

I don't know whether Eijun Sawamura's own pitching is too good, or there is really no guy in the freshman who can come in handy.

In short, at the end of the four games, Sawamura did not see a hitter who could touch his own ball.

After all, they are all pupils who have just graduated from elementary school.If Zecun was hit by them, then Zecun could really buy a piece of tofu to kill him.

Five points in three rounds and only three points in four rounds.

The total score is 21:0.

It seems that the old team seems to have an overwhelming advantage.

But in fact, it is not. In the fourth round of the game, 90% of the freshman team left on the field are from the minor league.

Chapter 006

By the time the game progressed to the fifth inning, the gap between the scores of the old team and the freshman team was already invisible.

Fortunately, the little friends of the freshman team have already figured it out. They no longer worry about the score on the field, but only care about their performance.In this way, the strength gap between individuals has become apparent, and now 90% of the players left on the field are the original little league players.

19 freshmen have also played 18 people, the most outstanding performance is basically in line with everyone's original expectations.

The strength of Pu Chun and Xiao Mu was obviously higher than the others.Now, the two scores are also the highest.

They weren't able to score six points ahead of time and qualify one step earlier, just because they played later than others, and they haven't got a chance yet.I believe that as long as there are two more games, the two will be able to qualify in advance.

And from Sawamura's own point of view, the strength of the two has reached a level that can be played.He could completely replace Cang Yuehe as his own substitute.

I don't know if these two people had already found a place for themselves before coming to Akagi Middle School.But for the baseball team, the addition of the two is indeed a good supplement.Although it is not a reinvention of the team, but it does make the team's strength rise by one or two percent.

As for Wakana, no matter what kind of childhood sweetheart, the relationship is close.Zecun had to admit that the physical fitness of a girl cannot be compared with that of a boy.Especially at the age of thirteen or fourteen now, it is the peak period of boys' development, and girls' weakness is becoming more and more obvious.

It is no longer appropriate to continue to let Wakana serve as the main force of the team. After all, Akagi is no longer the grassroots team that was just created at the beginning. Wakana is not one of the kind female guys with better physical fitness than boys.

She can only transfer to serve as team manager.

Regarding such a change, Wakana himself is also willing to accept.Let her fight on the court with a group of boys, which really makes her a little difficult.If it were not for the childhood sweetheart Sawamura, Wakana would never do it.

The orientation match was even more boring than Zemura imagined.

Under the leadership of Zecun, the old student is a bloodbath to the new student.Even if they are not much better than the freshmen themselves, they had fought with Tenryuji Middle School and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.

With such confidence, cooperation and tacit understanding.

On the other side, the opponent's freshman is limited by rules, and cannot form an effective combination of offense and defense, and can only fight separately.

It is no surprise that the old and the blood abuse the new.

Among the freshmen, the only thing that showed Zecun's interest was probably their catcher.

On the court, the only freshmen who can persist from the beginning of the game to the present are their catchers.Other starters, including the original two Little League players, were pushed down.

This kid made almost no mistakes when he was a catcher. He was very good at catching the ball, but at the same time he didn't cooperate with the pitcher to get a strikeout.

No points were lost on defense, and never scored.

If this is the case, he will be eliminated easily.

According to the rules established by Zecun, as long as he is struck out once, he will lose three points.

But when this kid was hitting, he was very ghostly.If it was a normal swing, it would be impossible to hit Sawamura with his strength.

So when the attack started, the kid completely gave up the normal attack.

He used all the short shots, so that even if he hit the earth, he would only lose two points. If he was stopped by the defense by chance, he would lose one point.

And this guy actively asked to play first.

Everyone is not a fool, and those who play first will naturally suffer.He used this to complete the exchange with the ninth ball drawn.

In the fifth round of the game, this guy only lost four points in total.

Although he scored the lowest among the nine people on the court, he stayed the longest.

As far as Sawamura Eijun himself felt, he really didn't like such a person.It feels like this guy is generally very good at calculating.And Zecun itself is a natural character, and some natural resistance to those who like to calculate.

"What's your name?"

Although he did not appreciate the opponent's personality very much, when Sawamura stood in the strike zone, he took the initiative to ask his name.

Senior Fengxiang will graduate soon.For Akagi Middle School, they urgently need a catcher to supplement.

As the captain and direct leader of the team, Zecun needs to find a successor for Fengxiang.

The guy in front of me, although immature, felt like a good catcher seedling.

"Good senior!"

The young man was a little flattered and stammered with his mouth open and said, "Matsumoto Jun, my name is Matsumoto Jun, senior."

Oh!

Sawamura nodded noncommittal, and then casually asked, "How long have you been playing baseball?"

Jun Matsumoto seemed embarrassed and only extended three fingers.

Three years?

Zecun frowned subconsciously.

Although Jun Matsumoto performed well in receiving the ball.But if he has been practicing baseball for three years, it means that he has been playing baseball since the third grade of elementary school. He has been playing baseball until now and his performance is still so immature. Apart from catching the ball, he knows nothing about it.

This is not justified!

There are only two possibilities for this result. The first is that he practiced little and didn't like it himself; the second is that he has no talent...

And these two are precisely dead spots, no matter what the reason, Zecun can't tolerate them.

Feeling a little unwilling to give up, Zecun asked.

"Three years?"

If Jun Matsumoto nodded, Sawamura would kick him out of his list without hesitation.

Matsumoto shook his head.

Zecun felt his breathing a lot in an instant.

"Three months?"

Zecun's voice trembled slightly when he said these three words.

If Jun Matsumoto has only practiced for three months, he is definitely a good seed.

Receiving the ball looks simple, but it is also talented.

This time, Jun Matsumoto shook his head again.

Zecun was already a little afraid to guess.

"three weeks?"

Shake your head!

"Three days?"

When it came to three days, Zecun himself was dubious.

If not in the major leagues, I have seen all kinds of geniuses all over the world.

Sawamura would not believe what he said. Someone could catch the ball from three different pitchers in three days without making mistakes.

"the third time!"

This time, Jun Matsumoto finally gave the answer.

Zecun looked at him silly, his eyes widened.

I'm going, Wizards!

Chapter 007-Change of Straight Ball

"Negative six points, out!"

Although he was very interested in Matsumoto, Sawamura did not show mercy during the duel.

In the first half of the sixth inning, Matsumoto hit the ground, scored six points, and was eliminated.

With him out, the last catcher finally appeared.

When the young man came on stage, it was a bit like everyone was looking for her thousands of times, but that person was in a waning place.

Everyone is looking forward to his performance, but unexpectedly, the young man made a mistake in connecting the ball after he came on the court and soon enough for six points.

By the second half of the sixth inning, the game could not go on.

The score is fixed at 25:0.

After Xiao Mu played, he lost a total of seven points, but he also solved six batters.Without the cooperation of the catcher, his performance was pretty good.As a pitcher replacing Sawamura, he barely qualified.

"Next I announce the qualified players, Komaki, Pu Chun..."

Sawamura announced six places, then looked at everyone, and added: "I know that many of you come to Akagi for the baseball team. It's not fair to let you down because of our test. We are not gods, and we are naturally not qualified to decide your life or death. But in fact, a team needs 18 people, and we have done our best. We can’t let these old players who have worked hard for the team for a year, for You make sacrifices. So, if you have the intention, we will have another election two months before the start of the summer competition. Everyone is free to challenge the six first-year students who have been selected. As long as you win, then you will proceed. Exchange. In addition, unless someone quits voluntarily, we will not add new people."

"Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Zecun’s words are very thorough.Although the concept of the Second Army was not brought up, everyone has automatically placed themselves in the position of the Second Army.
