Chapter 25: Back Number (Final Chapter of the Volume)
"Have faith?"
Before going on the court, Yukiichi also joked with Sawamura easily. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The game that was supposed to be lost was tied all at once in the last game, and although the striking strength of Qingdao High School was reduced and not very coherent, the foundation was still there.
All you need to do is get three more outs to end the practice match.
A draw with the pharmacist, although it is not the most desirable result, this result is not unacceptable.
The most important thing is that Qingdao's own problems have been exposed, and the next thing is to find a way to make up for his weaknesses.
"I'm not going to let them out again!"
The expression on Sawamura's face was surprisingly solemn.
"Second baton, shortstop, Kazuma Akiba."
Akiba's fame is a little insignificant compared to the three rays of Thunder City, Sanada Shunhei, and An Zexiu.
But his strength is real.
He is one of the four players coached by Thunder Zang.
How can the strength of such a beater be weak?
Let me see what it is like to be serious about a pitcher who has been in Koshien?
Kazuma Akiba looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's hill and waited for it.
Sawamura's expression was very indifferent, and he couldn't see anything.
The glove in the right hand is the shield, pushing away all resistance in front of you......
"Whoosh!"
The baseball shot into Miyuki's glove like a ray of light.
"Good shot!"
The referee's voice sounded a little far away.
There was only one impression left in Akiba's mind.
So fast!
This ball looks even faster than the previous pitch!
Sawamura Eijun, this man's pitching actually evolved at this time.
It is often said that a player can evolve in a single competition.
But Akiba Kazuma has never seen it, and this time it's really insightful.
"Whew~"
With a sigh of relief, Akiba Kazuma became very cautious, Sawamura's strength improved, and he had to be prepared.
Yukiichi didn't let go of the observation of Akiba, and the striking posture was restrained, and the other party was obviously frightened by Sawamura's ball power.
Keep the rhythm and keep throwing.
Next Ball, Quirk Ball-Change!
Sawamura nodded, five fingers relaxed, grabbed the baseball, and gently threw it.
Sawamura's arms are like whips, and no matter what ball he throws, you can't tell what kind of ball he throws from his pitching stance.
Kazuma Akiba, looking at the flying baseball, his heart moved.
The ball is at a moderate speed, get into your hand and swing the bat!
"Hum~"
The bat was swung out, but the baseball did not stay on its original track, and suddenly changed direction as it approached the hitter's hand.
"Ping!"
Akiba's swing is fast, but it only touches the edge of the baseball, and it flies the baseball out.
After the baseball hit the ground, it bounced to the front of the first baseman, and the front garden picked up the baseball without much effort.
"Out!"
"Third baseman, first baseman, Yuta Mishima."
"Good shot!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Out of bounds!"
After four or five balls in a row, Mishima's face became more and more ugly.
This is the pitcher who has pitched the ball in Koshien?
His ball power is getting heavier and heavier!
Mishima had never seen a pitcher like this, and the ball became heavier and heavier, as if he was not facing a person, but a desolate beast.
"Ping!"
After all, people's abilities are limited, and Mishima was finally suppressed by Sawamura's ball power and hit home plate high.
Yukiichi also stood up and spread his gloves.
"Smack!"
The baseball fell straight into the glove.
"Out!"
Two outs, no one on base.
After being hit in the last round, Sawamura relied on his own strength to win consecutive hits in this game.
Yang Ping in the outfield, but he was not happy because of the state of his friends.
This kind of dictatorial way of pitching, completely pursuing change and ball power, is no longer Sawamura's original pitching style.
He may well have gone down a fork in the road.
"Fourth baseman, third baseman, Thunder City."
When Thunder City stepped on the strike zone, at this moment, all eyes were on it.
The final outcome of the game was in this moment.
Either Sawamura takes one out, and both teams are even.
Either Thunder City, hit a hit, and continue hope.
Of course, there is also the possibility that Thunder City will hit a home run and turn the game around.
"Let's have a big one!"
Thunder hid in the cowshed and silently blessed his son.
If Thunder City can hit a home run at this time and help Yakushi High School turn the tide, even if it is a practice game, Thunder City will inevitably cause a sensation.
That's when he really got big.
……
"The game is over, the final score is 6:6, and the two sides are tied."
Bang Lei Zang stared at the middle field, Yang Ping, who had a cold face, was speechless.
This disciple he taught is simply his own enemy.
Although the ball didn't hit a home run, the ball landed very well. At a distance of more than ten meters from Yang Ping, the ball fell.
With the swing of the bat, you can imagine how fast the ball flies.
But in such a situation, Yang Ping's body seemed to be equipped with a power device, and it shot quickly towards the landing point of the baseball.
"Smack!"
The baseball landed precisely into Yang Ping's glove.
"Out, three out, it's over."
After the practice match, the result was acceptable to both parties, so the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.
"Thank you for accepting the invitation."
Boom Lei Zang is very polite and really grateful, and it is also an unexpected joy for him to be able to draw with Qingdao.
However, maybe he is too greedy, but if he can win this game, even if the results of the fall tournament are not impressive, the pharmacist will almost be able to get a wild card into Koshien.
After all, they won the champion of Koshien - Seido High School!
Now it's all you have to do with the fall competition.
Hey, there are more than 200 colleges and universities, and more than a dozen wealthy families. It's not easy to rush out of such an environment.
I worked hard for a summer vacation, but it fell short.
"We've also found a lot of our own problems, thank you."
Kataoka's words made Thunder Hide even more uncomfortable.
Does that mean it's just a practice game, so it doesn't mean anything?
Qingdao people are really proud.
But people have a standard of pride.
Yang Ping, Sawamura, An Zexiu, Tachibana Hero, and Flower Shadow also gathered together.
After chatting a few words, Yang Ping said with a smile.
"The next fight is Qiuda."
An Zexiu said: "When the time comes, it must be us." ”
"It's us!"
Sawamura also unceremoniously-for-tat.
Yang Ping didn't bother to care about the top cow of the two, turned around and said to Huaying and Orange Hero: "Come on." ”
Hua Ying snorted coldly: "You too, don't lose before you meet us." ”
Yang Ping was stunned, he really didn't expect that Hua Ying, who had always been introverted, would say such a thing.
"No, it won't!"
As the fourth baton of the new team, Yang Ping is qualified to speak on behalf of Qingdao High School.
What a confidence!
Flower Shadow, An Zexiu, and Orange Hero looked at Yang Ping and sighed in their hearts.
This is such an enigmatic man who has never seen through him. Whether it's in Nagano or in Tokyo. He's as mysterious as ever.
After the departure of Yakushi High School, Qingdao learned from the pain and thought about his own problems. as well as determining the final main number.
The next day, after the morning exercise, all the staff of Qingdao High School gathered to receive the new back number.
"Number One!"
When Kataoka said these two words, Akira Shibuyani and Sawamura clenched their hands at the same time.
They were nervous, and this was the first time the two were fighting for the trump card. Although there will be opportunities in the future, if you can't take advantage at this time, the competition will inevitably be at a disadvantage in the future.
"Descending Gu Xiao!"
Really!
Everyone's first impression is like this.
Although Sawamura's actual record was higher than that of Akira Shibuyani before, through the recent practice matches, everyone has been mentally prepared.
Damn it!
Sawamura's eyes flashed with unyieldingness, but he didn't expect that he would lose the election in the end.
Sure enough, the home run was full......
Kataoka glanced at Sawamura, and he also knew that Sawamura might be unwilling, but there was no way around it.
After all, Qingdao High School is a place that values strength, and recently the state of Akira Tsukitani has significantly surpassed that of Sawamura, and there is no reason for the ace to choose Sawa Village and give up Akira Tsuki.
"No. 2, Miyuki Kazuya."
Yukiichi also stepped forward with a smile and received the number bib, which is almost the most uncontroversial main number. As soon as Chris left, there was no catcher left who could threaten his position.
"Three, Kenta Maezono!"
Despite Maezono's recent record not being very good, Kataoka did not hesitate to give him the first baseman's main number bib.
"Number four, Kominato Haru."
There is not much controversy in this regard, after all, whether it is a strike or a garrison, Kominato Spring City is very eye-catching in the current Qingdao Road.
"Five, Hitachi!"
Kanemaru is in good shape, but Hieratsu is not weak at all, and in the competition between the two, Hitachi takes advantage of the senior.
"Sixth, Yochi Kurachi."
The position of the shortstops, it is needless to say.
"Seven, Hideaki Tojo!"
This is a representative of the counterattack, you must know that Aso was a substitute for the first army before, and his strength is definitely not weak. But he was still squeezed on the bench by Tojo. The title of 'Top Ten Star Players' is indeed not called for nothing.
"Eight, Yang Ping!"
And rightfully so.
"No. 9, Kenjiro Hakushu."
Again, there is no need to say more, there is no competitive pressure.
"Number ten, Eijun Sawamura."
Although Sawamura did not take the back number of the ace, he won the first substitute.
His strength is still recognized by everyone. It's just that the garrison of Qingdao is a little unable to keep up now.
"Eleventh, Kenshi Kawakami!"
"Twelfth, Aso!"
"Number 13, Shinji Kanemaru!"
"No. 14, the official is straight!"
……
There are eighteen people in total, and there are eighteen number bibs in total.
This is all the members of the first army of Qingdao High School, and they are the representatives of Qingdao who participated in the Autumn University.
The day of the king's first appearance in Tokyo after ascending the throne is not far off, and it is believed that they will still cause a storm in Tokyo.
"Disband!"
After the disbandment, everyone went to the cafeteria to eat.
Sawamura was in a somewhat depressed mood.
"Do you want to learn a new variation of the ball?"
Ochiai touched his mustache and looked for Kamizawa Village.
???
Sawamura had a question mark in his head, he really didn't know what he meant by this new coach?
