Chapter Twenty-Four: And Then And Then And Then It Was
"It's over!"
Superintendent Kataoka, who was originally only scheduled to play a few rounds, finally made the game a smooth nine-inning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
21 to 5, the final freeze on this score, looking at the number seems to be the defeat of the first grade, but the people present saw a lot of meaningful things from this game.
By the end of the fifth game, the first grade had lost 19 points, which meant that the first grade team had only lost two points in the next four games, while the entire line had scored five points!
Of course, one of the three biggest turning points in this game was that in the second half of the fifth inning, Eijun Sawamura appeared in a crisis situation where one person was out of the game and full bases, and he perfectly rescued the crisis and turned the flow of the game to the first grade.
The next highlight was in the sixth inning! The first-year attack in the first half of the sixth inning unexpectedly won the three-point home run!
It completely changed the situation on the field and put the initiative back in the hands of the first grade!
Then in the second half of the six-inning game, in the face of the original five batters who could hit a home run at any time, Sawamura made a decision that shocked everyone and even Liu Yong!
Yes, it looks like the four bads are caused by aggression, but the pitching with the obvious sense of delivery made everyone present very surprised whether their previous definition of Sawamura's personality was wrong.
You must know that this kind of character people choose to escort, which is undoubtedly a very strange thing, even if it is an offensive four bad escort.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the decision to escort was made by Sawamura himself, and the previous kind of pitching did not mean to cooperate with the catcher at all, and they didn't believe that Sawamura would follow the instructions of the catcher and escort Masuko Totho.
To be honest, Sawamura would never choose to be escorted, in his opinion, pitchers and hitters should have a head-to-head duel, but he is a trusted ace, and they recognize him as a first-year ace!
They want to win! They want to prove themselves!
As a trusted pitcher, Sawamura does not allow himself to live up to their expectations, just as before he came to Seongdo, he vowed to never live up to the expectations of his friends in the countryside!
That's exactly the case.,Sawamura finally chose to escort Masuko Tothor.,Masuko Toru said he was very sad.,I'm fully prepared.,I didn't expect Ozawamura to choose the method of escort.,The kind of ball that can be seen at a glance is a bad ball.,Masuko Toru doesn't dare to strike.,Once it's caught and killed.。
Then the result is really more interesting than escorting!
When Superintendent Kataoka saw Sawamura Eijun choosing to escort, there was no look on his face, and he didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations in his heart.
Is there a pros or cons to temporarily abandon the so-called dignity of the pitcher for the sake of the team's victory, or is it to motivate the pitcher 100% to achieve a head-to-head matchup?
High school baseball is not as good as professional baseball, for these children, many people are not very good at choosing, it has nothing to do with dignity or other factors, just a certain mentality of simply not admitting defeat, isn't this exactly the attitude that teenagers should have?
Of course, there is a trade-off point in everything, and it is not precisely because of the give-and-give-and-take?
At first glance, Sawamura seems to have given up his pitching style, giving up something that can't be abandoned, after all, this is just a red and white battle, but if there are people who actually watch, don't you think that Sawamura has gained something more beneficial than this?
Kuramochi or Miyuki outside the field have a ghostly expression on their faces, and this guy Sawamura Eijun actually chose to escort!
I escorted the Masuko tho.
The next two hitters couldn't catch the trajectory of Sawamura's ball, and they easily caught the shot and went out, leaving only a first-base base in the sixth inning.
The situation is completely in the hands of the first grade!
In the next seven rounds and eight innings, the second and third grade lines are all the balls of Sawamura for the first time, and the striking ability is not as strong as the main force of the original army, Zengzi Tou, and they are all picked up and killed, and it is worth mentioning that there is no strikeout.
Then, in the first half of the eighth inning, the five-batter accidentally caught Kawakami's straight ball and went directly to base! Liu Yong decisively commanded the six-batter to sacrifice the short shot and send it to second base.
Immediately after that, Sawamura once again used the posture of the short fight to successfully deceive the guards of the second and third grades, and it was really safe to strike!
There are people on first and third base!
Xiao Minato and Liu Yong's consecutive hits scored two points directly!
Although the score difference is still very large, the fighting spirit of the first grade has not diminished at all, and they almost went to victory!
But the second and third graders are not vegetarians, those who can join Qingdao, become members of the second army, and can stay after a year of hard training, are by no means simple guys, in the second round of play, almost all of those guys can capture the trajectory of Sawamura ball!
Of course, it wasn't that easy to hit a hit, but the ninth inning still made the first-year students look like chickens and dogs.
I realized once again that Qingdao High School was terrible, you must know that this is only the second army, and the main force of the first army is only Zeng Zitou, and all the rest are not playing!
The second half of the ninth inning finally ended with two points scored by the second and third grades (because it was a red and white battle, so all nine innings were played, otherwise the regular game, if there was no equalizer in the first half of the ninth inning, the game would be over, and there was no need to defend the second half of the inning)
From some perspectives, if you compare the situation after Sawamura came on the court, there is no doubt that the first year has an advantage, and the score is five to two.
From the beginning of the sixth game to the last four rounds, the initiative is completely in the hands of the first grade.
I have to say, this is a game with a diametrically opposite beginning and an end!
"Thanks for the advice!" said loudly with two queues, bowing.
"Whew. Liu Yong wiped the sweat on his cheeks, gasped, and showed a smile on his face, it's really not easy, this red and white war, but the benefits are really big!
Liu Yong squeezed his fist slightly, he could finally really stand on this stage, just when Liu Yong entered the bench area to pack up his equipment.
A cold voice sounded in his ears: "Liu Yong, don't forget to participate in the training of the First Army tomorrow, do you know?"
"Ah, yes!" Liu Yong turned his head, looked at Superintendent Kataoka's expression without any emotion, and was slightly stunned, and then immediately replied loudly.
I really entered the first army, Liu Yong pinched his cheek a little incredulously, and thought with an incredible look.
"What about me, boss, can I join the first army!" Perhaps it was the performance of this red and white pitch that made Sawamura feel that he was also performing quite well, and instantly eliminated the fear of Kataoka Superintendent, and jumped in front of Kataoka Superintendent, and asked loudly.
"Hmph, you're still far behind, I can recognize you as a member of the department this time, the first army, stay in the second army first!" Inspector Kataoka's cold voice made Sawamura stiffen.
His mouth moved, but in the end, it was the kind of deterrence in his heart that took over.
After Superintendent Kataoka said this, he left Sawamura, who had a gloomy expression, messy in the wind, and left the court.
Liu Yong on the side shook his head invisibly, it seems that this point is still no different from the original book, even if Inspector Kataoka values Sawamura's talent and temperament, he still needs to polish him more, but, in Liu Yong's opinion, this is also the first qualitative change in Sawamura.
When Liu Yong first came to Qingdao, he wanted to say whether he slowly told Sawamura the key points of Sawamura's evolution in the original book and gave him suggestions so that he could make faster progress, but later found out that things were not so simple, Sawamura didn't even lay a good foundation, can the things behind him really be taught to him? Not to mention that Liu Yong himself is a half-guy.
After thinking about it, it would be best to give up this idea for the time being, and leave it to a professional to guide Sawamura.
Back then, the genius catcher who even Yukiichi thought he couldn't compare to was even more demonic, and polishing it in his hands for a period of time was of great benefit to Sawamura.
