Chapter 18: Struggle
Sawamura's Kinky Ball-Change! The name sounds very cool, but it's just a primitive grab pitch, because the naturally soft shoulders and wrists give Sawamura an innate and unique way of changing the ball. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just like Sawamura's straight ball grip, there will still be a lot of changes in the ball due to the difference in the part where the ball is held. When Sawamura uses a grab to throw the ball, the changes in the path of the ball are also strange because of the different parts of the catch. Of course, the general orientation is still predictable! The quirk balls he grabbed - changed, generally formed a slider of different amplitudes and angles. In short, the direction of the change of the ball path is generally to the outside corner, and the worst is to change downward......
Therefore, the quirk ball that makes Sawamura throw an inside corner has a very high chance of falling into the good ball belt, and it is even a difficult low ball to play.
Of course, with such a strong ball path, the risk is not small.
First: Pitcher Sawamura, his own ball control is a big problem. Sawamura's possession was not very consistent, except for the position of being in the middle. In other positions, it is difficult for Sawamura to guarantee 100% good shots!
Second: After some balls are grabbed and thrown, the change is small, and it is easy to throw a straight ball with no change in good play!
For these two reasons, Yang Ping has not given Sawamura a quirk ball in the inner role. Now facing Saburo Ono, Yang Ping has no choice. I had to make surprise moves to disrupt my opponents.
It looks like a tough ball that smashes directly into the chest of the hitter, and then suddenly sinks into the outside corner after getting close to the good ball belt!
A high-altitude slide with a very tricky angle and good speed.
Even if the hitter is Saburo Ono, this ball did not swing the bat!
"Pause!"
Just as Sawamura was about to make a second shot, Saburo Ono suddenly called for a timeout. Then slowly walked up to the strike zone on the left!
Hold the bat in one hand, one real and one virtual with both feet. Saburo Ono completely abandoned the baseball batting stance in favor of using his kendo starting hand style directly.
Yang Ping was shocked in his heart: It is not necessarily an illusion! Saburo Ono's way of standing can be regarded as completely sealing Sawamura's inner corner quirk ball-changed.
Since you can't use the inside corner, it's a showdown in the middle of the game. As long as Ono is not allowed to hit the core, it is not unacceptable to lose a point or two in this game.
After receiving Yang Ping's code, Sawamura nodded. A quirk ball with all his might, Change, was thrown.
The baseball was like an elf, deftly turning a small corner in the air, and then piercing Yang Ping's gloves with precision. However, the speed of the bat is faster than the change of the baseball, and before the ball can fall into the glove, the bat hits the baseball hard.
"Poof~"
Baseball is like a shooting star, breaking through the sky!
"Fly out!"
"Just hit the home run wall!"
"Little bison!"
……
A three-point home run to bring the score closer to one point.
4:3。
One person is out, no one is on base!
Toho's players didn't cheer as Yang Ping did when he hit a home run. For them, this situation seems to be a normal thing.
Some of Akagi's friends couldn't accept it, and they were all depressed. Instead, Sawamura, who was hit by a three-point home run, lit up and laughed: "Sure enough, it's fun to play with a team like Toho." ”
Seeing that Sawamura still had fighting spirit and was also very calm, Yang Ping continued to squat and match Sawamura with the ball.
Toho made a fifth bat and hit first base short.
The sixth batter still chose to play a short game, and also successfully hit base.
It's another out, a crisis of people on first and second base.
When it was the turn of the seventh baton to strike, Yang Ping had to summon the fielders to drive forward!
Sacrifice to fight!
Forced Points!!
Toho didn't drag his feet and scored another point.
The score on the field is 4:4!
Akagi finally survived the game.
In the first half of the fifth inning, Akagi Middle School attacked.
"Out!"
"Strikeout!"
"Strikeout! Changing !! ”
Just five minutes later, Akagi had to face Toho's line again! They had just barely survived the fourth game, and their original panic had not calmed down, and now they had to face a situation of fear.
Yang Ping knew very well that once he was caught by Toho's weakness, Akagi would not have any chance to win.
If Akagi has a strong garrison, then Toho's short-stick tactics are simply looking for death. It's a pity that Akagi doesn't have an experienced and strong garrison. Sawamura's pitching is also very dependent on the strength of the guard, and there is not much suspense in this game.
Yang Ping knew that Akagi's friends were naturally aware of the lack of defensive strength. There is no hope of victory in this game!
The friends were annoyed, remorseful, and gave up. Even Yang Ping felt that there was no point in fighting like this.
At this time, there is only one person who insists on competing.
Standing on the pitcher's mound - Eijun Sawamura!
"Don't be discouraged! It's just the same score, and I'll suppress them well. If you lose points, you have to fight them back......"
Cangyue Wakana: Rong Chun!
Friends: Sawamura! Xiao Rong!
Yang Ping: This guy!
Audience: Ace pitcher - Eijun Sawamura!!
……
In a word, a gesture to rekindle the determination of the Akagi competition!
After that, Akagi's performance was impressive, in the unfavorable situation of Toho's implementation of the short stick. The 'People Come Crazy' team carried forward their own spirit of being crazy, and repeatedly created miracles, and only lost seven points in the eighth game. At the same time they scored two points! Sawamura hit a short base, and Yang Ping hit a two-point home run!
In the first half of the ninth inning, Akagi Middle School attacked.
Score: 11:6.
"Second batter: third baseman Nozomi Takamiya."
Takamiya stood in the strike zone, and did not flinch even in the face of the terrifying ball speed of 140km of grass planting. Perfect three empty strokes, out.
As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.
"Third baseman, first baseman, Flower Shadow."
Flower Shadow came on the field and put on a posture of a long fight, but suddenly changed to a short stick. Although the landing point of the ball is not very good, it finally takes advantage of the surprise! Barely got to first base.
"Fourth stick, Eijun Sawamura."
"Look at me! I'm going to hit the ball this time. “
Sawamura staggered to the strike zone, the bat in his hand buzzed, and he put on a posture of hitting a home run!
It's a pity that he doesn't see his little ability. (After all, this four-stick has been a short stick on two bases so far!) Both swings were strikeouts. )
Sawamura shouted so loudly that when he was waiting for Uekusa to throw the ball, he put out a short stick.
"Ping~"
The baseball rolled beautifully on the sideline from home plate to first base, and Sawamura rushed to first base non-stop, and at the same time, the flower shadow of first base also began to run towards second base.
Faced with a rolling ball rolling near the first base sideline, Toho's first baseman had to choose to leave the base base defense. When he picks up the ball, it is still unrealistic to come back and block Sawamura.
"Give it to me!"
At this time, Uecao suddenly asked him for the ball, and when he passed the ball to Uekusa, he saw a flash of white light, and the ball was thrown into the second baseman's glove with lightning speed. Flower Shadow was eliminated by a fraction of a second!
The situation became two outs, and there were people on first base.
It was Akagi's turn to hit the fifth stick - Yang Ping.
