Chapter 42: It's Good to Be Young (2nd Update)

Sawamura Eijun's curveball, Mizusawa Ichiro accidentally swung it into the air, which surprised and delighted Yang Ping. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If Sawamura can really suppress Ichiro Mizusawa in this game, then the Akagi Middle School baseball team is not completely hopeless of a comeback.

Sawamura and Hashimoto Yuyan are too strong compared to the playing lines of their respective teams! Except for Yang Ping and Mizusawa Ichiro, the others have not had an eye-catching performance so far.

It was precisely because of Yuyan Hashimoto who came up with a way to deal with Yang Ping that he was able to help the team reverse the disadvantage and take back the initiative of the game in the hands of the Tomioka Middle School baseball team. If Sawamura can also suppress Ichiro Mizusawa, the balance of victory will inevitably tip in Akagi Junior High School's baseball team again.

Second Ball: Curveball!

It's not that Yang Ping doesn't want to match other ball paths, it's just for a hitter like Ichiro Mizusawa who can swing the stick when he is close to the ball. Sawamura's other ball paths are really unsafe, and although it is also dangerous to use the curveball continuously, Yang Ping thinks it is even more dangerous to change to another ball path.

"Ping!"

Ichiro Mizusawa deserves to be the No. 1 strong player in the country, and Sawamura's second curveball was caught by him. Although it only touched the upper part of the ball, it finally made the bat touch the ball.

"Out of bounds!"

Yang Ping looked at Ichiro Mizusawa and hesitated in his heart. It stands to reason that in this case, if you throw a curved ball on the third ball, you will simply be looking for death! However, if you switch to another ball, you are likely to hit a home run by Ichiro Mizusawa.

At this critical moment, even with Yang Ping's mind, he is in a dilemma.

In the end, Yang Ping resolutely chose to let Sawamura use the curveball to duel with Mizusawa Ichiro.

Think about the ball that was smashed into the head by Ichiro Mizusawa, and you can predict what will happen to the rest of Sawamura's balls?

It's safer to use a curved ball.

When Sawamura, the third curveball is thrown. In the cowshed of Fuqiu Middle School, Yui Xun looked at Yang Ping who was squatting in the catcher position in amazement: Three identical balls in a row? Is it that you are too outdated, or that the world is changing too fast? Senior Yang Ping, who has always been mature in his eyes, why would he behave so recklessly?

Besides, Ichiro Mizusawa, who was standing in the hitter's seat, through the observation of the first two balls, he had roughly figured out the timing and direction of Sawamura's shot.

When Sawamura's third ball was thrown, Mizusawa Ichiro determined that Sawamura's ball, like the two balls just now, was also a curved ball that quietly sank three balls away.

The ball was seen through, the timing was grasped again, and the ball was blown away as a matter of course~

"A two-point home run from Fuqiu Middle School!"

“3:1! Defending champion Fuqiu High School completes comeback ......"

Audience.

"It's really the No. 1 strong fight in the country! Ichiro Mizusawa is Ichiro Mizusawa! ”

"This home run can be regarded as a complete defeat of Akagi Middle School."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why Akagi Middle School can play here is due to the fact that they have a talented pitcher. Whenever you play against Akagi, whether you lose or win in the end, the score of both teams will not be too high.

This is a typical team with pitchers as the core, and this kind of team is generally very difficult, but once the score is opened, it is difficult for this kind of team to catch up with the score.

The ball was knocked out, and Yang Ping breathed a sigh of relief. Holding on to a draw and playing the game with fear is not his character after all. After there is no hope, it can make people spread their hands and feet and make a big fuss.

I just don't know if Sawamura on the pitcher's mound has been hit?

As soon as Yang Ping wanted to shout a timeout, go up to the pitcher's hill, and comfort Sawamura, he heard Sawamura laugh when he was standing on the pitcher's hill.

"That pitcher can't be scared silly, right? How can you still laugh when you hit a home run? ”

"Maybe I want to be famous, I want to go crazy. Deliberately do this out-of-the-ordinary thing to attract attention. ”

The speculation of the audience did not affect the players on the spot. Yang Ping still asked the referee for a timeout.

Trotting all the way to the pitcher's hill and looking at Sawamura, who was laughing wildly, Yang Ping didn't know how to comfort him.

"You didn't have a problem pitching, it was me who made a mistake with the ball."

After thinking about it, Yang Ping still wanted to take the initiative to take responsibility. I hope this will be a little less of a blow to Sawamura!

"The ace pitcher's deciding shot was knocked out, and you said it was your own responsibility? This makes me, an ace pitcher, how embarrassing? ”

This is said very calmly. It's not like I can't stand the stimulation and collapse.

"Yang Ping."

Well?

originally wanted to comfort Sawamura, but now that they are very calm, Yang Ping doesn't know what he wants to do. At this time, I heard Sawamura calling himself.

"The national competition, it's really strong! Takumi Harada, Ichiro Mizusawa, Yuhiko Hashimoto......"

"Thank you!"

"It's great to be here all over the country!"

Although Sawamura's words are a bit of a preamble and a follow-up! Yang Ping still understands what he means. At this moment, the man named Eijun Sawamura in front of him is really different!

He is no longer the boy who satisfies Nagano's small world, and his ideal is just to break into the whole country.

"Fifth stick, Big River."

Perhaps it was Ichiro Mizusawa's home run that gave the players of the Tomioka High School baseball team unparalleled courage. This time, Taiga was no longer afraid of Sawamura's inside corner.

It's just that Sawamura, who has awakened, with the curved ball he just unlocked, his current strength is no longer comparable to Dahe!

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!"

"Three good balls, three strikeouts!"

With this strike strike as a starting point, Akagi Middle School and Fugaoka Middle School started a tug-of-war, and in the end, both sides did not score in seven or eight innings.

In the first half of the ninth inning, the hitter of Fuqiu Middle School suddenly changed the big stick. He hit four hits in a row and scored two points, and the score of the two sides stretched to four points.

In the second half of the ninth inning, Akagi Middle School attacked.

"Third baseman, third baseman, Flower Shadow."

"Good shot!"

"Out of bounds!"

"Good shot!"

"Strikeout!"

As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.

"Fourth Stick, No. 2, Catcher, Yang Ping."

Even if the two sides play, the outcome is decided. When Yang Ping stood in the strike zone, there were still bursts of applause and cheers from the audience.

Regardless, the clash between the ace pitcher and the four-batter is still very exciting.

"Ping!"

With Yang Ping's swing, the baseball was knocked into the stands of the spectators.

Another beautiful home run!

It's just a pity that it's not a goodbye home run......

5:2!

In the second round of the national competition, Fuqiu Middle School won by a landslide.

Akagi Junior High School has also completed its journey to the national competition and is ready to go home.

The school still has a lot of money, so Mr. Sano decided to take everyone to Tokyo for a few days before going back.

Of course, the friends raised their hands in favor, although after losing just now, everyone cried to death, but in a blink of an eye, it seemed to have forgotten!

Yang Ping had to sigh: It's good to be young!
