Chapter 20: The Gap Between the New and the Old

"Out!"

Sawamura, who had just come on the field, showed a surprisingly good performance. Facing the fifth baseman of the Yakushi High School baseball team, he forced the opponent to miss the ball.

As a result, Qingdao High School baseball pair won the second out.

Even now, Mishima is still on second base, shouting wildly. But Qingdao High School baseball has solved most of the previous crisis.

In the rest area of the Yakushi High School baseball team.

The players shouted unconvinced, and the general meaning was that Sawamura Eijun was just lucky.

As far as his three-legged cat pitching is concerned, he doesn't have any real skills from the medicine division high school baseball team, and he will collapse if he can't do it.

On the other hand, the players of the Seido High School baseball team also felt very unreal.

Although Kataoka overseer had such an arrangement, and they were opposed by 120 people in their hearts, the overseer insisted on going his own way, and they were helpless.

For the results of the two first-year newcomers on the court, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have their own professional judgments.

These two guys are going to get beaten badly.

The Yakushi High School baseball team, if you talk about the overall strength, may be a little worse than their three giants in West Tokyo.

But when it comes to the attack power of this team, it is definitely not inferior to any of their three teams.

Even the Seido High School baseball team is not 100% sure that they are better than their opponents offensively.

In the face of such an opponent, two newcomers who have just joined the team and have not yet fully matured with the team.

And how can there be a dazzling play?

Not to mention, their training camp has just ended.

The players are very physically exhausted, and their muscles are still in a sore stage.

Even Tamba, who is in the third grade, is the real ace Zhang Han.

The two of them standing on the pitcher's mound don't necessarily have any outstanding play.

Not to mention, Sawamura and Akira Sumiya, who are not very strong.

The performance of Xiaogu after he came on the field was exactly the same as everyone's guess. replaced Sawamura on the field, although the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team held back their strength and wanted to play.

But given the reality of the situation, it may be difficult for them to realize this dream.

One is out, and there is someone on second base.

As long as Sawamura can help the team complete this game with only one point, the players are already Amitabha.

I never expected this guy's performance to be so violent. stubbornly won a number of outs, so much so that many players on the Seido High School baseball team couldn't believe it.

Two outs, although they have not been able to solve the runners on second base, but the current situation is already a different world for the Qingdao High School baseball team.

As it stands, they just need to deal with the hitter, and Mishima on second base doesn't have to pay attention to any shouting.

That's the biggest benefit of winning the second out.

The Qingdao players, stimulated by this benefit, are gearing up one by one and preparing to do a big job.

As long as Sawamura can really withstand it.

Although their bodies are very tired now, their physical strength also feels a little overwhelmed, and their muscles are sore......

But they are still confident that they can defeat the pharmacist players who are showing off their power in front of them.

Previously, in the spring tournament, they could beat the Pharmacist High School baseball team.

Now, in this practice game, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are also confident that they can win the final victory.

The other side.

The players of the Yakushi High School baseball team continued to slander Sawamura in the rest area.

They tried to use this method to disrupt Sawamura's pitching rhythm.

And their supervision has been very pragmatic to call the beaters who have just left the game to their side.

"Why is it too late to swing the bat?"

This third-year player, in the eyes of Thunder Zang, is really very average.

However, his fundamentals are solid, and he is also one of the hardest working people on the entire team of the Yakushi High School baseball team.

The level of effort is even greater than that of Mishima and Akiba.

It's just a little worse than his baby son.

Sawamura's pitch just now, from the perspective of a bystander, the ball path is relatively simple, and the speed is not fast.

Although he was the fifth in the third grade, Boom didn't expect much from him.

But for him, such an ordinary straight ball shouldn't stump him.

But in the process of fighting Sawamura just now, his swing was much late.

Boom was very confident, and he was not mistaken. In the process of swinging the bat, the hitter did not find the right time to release the bat.

The fifth-bat batter of the Yakushi High School baseball team bowed his head in shame.

He felt that he had failed the hard work of the overseer, and he had also failed his friends who fought side by side with him.

"Are you still crying here? We don't have that time. Tell me, what's going on? We need to develop a strategy as soon as possible. ”

Sanada looked thoughtfully at his own overseer.

When I usually practice, Bang Lei Zang is generally in such a state, and he is very individual.

But when he officially played the game, his attitude took a 180-degree turn, and he was no longer the serious and responsible man, but the image of a giggling uncle next door.

But today, the behavior of their superintendent is very strange.

The overseer showed great concern for this newcomer named Sawamura.

"Can't see the ball at all?"

Soon, Thunder Hide got the answer he wanted to know.

Even though it was the beater who had just finished the blow, he told it in person. It still feels like it's hard to believe.

The first-year student named Sawamura, his bones and wrists were so soft.

In the process of pitching, use your body to completely block the movement of your arm swing.

"This first-year newcomer may be more difficult than we thought."

In Hong Leizang's heart, he vaguely already had a very bad judgment.

As a rival to Nishitokyo, Thunder had carefully studied his opponents before.

The most complete team and the strongest comprehensive strength should be Daocheng Industry.

The level of completeness of that team is that even Thunder Hide can't pick out any problems. Players in every position are almost always at the top.

Don't look at the pharmacist high school baseball team that has won against Inagi Industry before, but Boom has never thought that his own team is better than the other party.

They were able to win, mainly because they took advantage of the right time, place and people, and the reason why the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team did not use their full strength at all.

Otherwise, if the two teams are allowed to compete again, they will have no chance of winning at all.

In the opinion of Thunder Zang, Inagi Industry should be the team with the most hope of winning the championship in the entire western Tokyo.

It is also the team most likely to make it to Koshien in the summer tournament.

But this team that he is most optimistic about was in the final of the Kanto Conference when he played against the Seido High School baseball team before.

Compared with the insignificant Tokyo Spring Tournament, the final of the Kanto Conference definitely allowed the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team to do their best.

How about the result of exerting all your might?

It was not Daocheng who won the final victory, but Qingdao High School.

This is unreasonable, and the thunder hides and does not study it.

As an ambitious team, and as an ambitious overseer, he certainly has to investigate the competitors he may encounter in the future.

Based on the information he had gathered before, as well as his own judgment.

He was pretty much certain that the biggest problem for the Seido High School baseball team was on their pitcher mound.

This team, which is known as the strongest line-playing team in the country, is blocked everywhere on the way forward, a very important and very practical reason is because of their pitchers, or their entire pitcher formation.

Not strong enough.

They have a serious problem at the pitcher level. If the Yakushi High School baseball team wants to beat the Seido High School baseball team in the future, it is best to start from this aspect.

Originally, Thunder Zang had thought well, but now he suddenly realized that his judgment seemed to be a little premature.

Although before, this was indeed the biggest problem for the Seongdo High School baseball team.

But after watching the performance of the two first-year newcomers, Bang Leizang suddenly found that his judgment seemed to be too arbitrary.

Whether it is Xiao Yutani just now, or Sawamura who is now throwing the ball on the pitcher's mound, the two of them have different degrees of problems in the eyes of Thunder Zang.

There are some problems, and they even seem to be very fatal.

But after all, they are only first-year newcomers, and they still have a lot of time to grow up in the future.

Maybe it's a year, maybe it's half a year......

When these two first-year rookie players really grow up, the biggest problem that plagues the Seido High School baseball team will be solved.

At that time, I'm afraid no one can say that the pitchers of the Seido High School baseball team are not strong.

"I want to perform, I want to get into Koshien smoothly. I'm afraid it's going to be early......"

Although Thunder Zang is very confident in his precious son and his own disciples.

But having faith is one thing, doing nothing is another.

As it stands, the sooner they rise, the more likely they are to enter Koshien.

As for the future, although they will not completely lose their opportunities, they will definitely have fewer and fewer opportunities.

"Be careful!"

Thunder tried to draw the attention of the beaters on the execution ground.

As a result, before his code was played, the 6th batter on the field was already eliminated.

With the experience of the fifth base, the sixth baseball player of the Yakushi High School baseball team is actually quite cautious.

But no matter how cautious he was, he had to swing his stick when he was being chased.

It was also on that goal that he experienced almost exactly the same experience as his teammates.

Suddenly he couldn't see the baseball shot.

By the time he saw it, the white baseball was already flying.

So suddenly!

So fast!!

Before, Sawamura's ball was about 130 kilometers at most, not even yet.

This ball speed is almost non-existent as a threat to the baseball team hitters of Yakushi High School.

So when he was watching before, the hitter was very sure that he would be able to hit the ball.

Really standing in the strike zone, this feeling has not changed.

The pitching momentum is very strong, and the speed is just like that at best.

But then, what happened was beyond his knowledge.

Because he couldn't see the point of putting the ball, he couldn't prepare in advance, and by the time the baseball flew over, it was already too late.

Swing the bat in your hand with a hard head.

By the time he reacted, it was too late, and the bat barely touched the baseball and sent it flying high.

Sawamura, who was on the pitcher's mound, took two steps forward, opened his glove, and steadily picked up the ball into his glove.

"Smack!"

"Out!"

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."

Although there were a few twists and turns, the final result did not change in any way.

The Qingdao High School baseball team barely held on to the score, with a score of 3-1, and the game also ushered in the second game.

In the second game, the Seido High School baseball team, which was two points behind, attacked.

The players on the opposite side of the Yakushi High School baseball team were very positive. Now it's clear that they're on the defending, and it feels like they're attacking.

In such a warm atmosphere, Miyuki hit the ball hard.

The baseball that was hit appeared in front of the shortstop without moving.

The shortstop of the Yakushi High School baseball team rushed forward in a few lunges, and after receiving the ball, he passed directly to first base.

"Smack!"

"Out!"

In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the friends looked at each other one by one.

In fact, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team had a feeling about this matter before.

It's just that it's just feelings and speculations all the time, and there's no way to confirm it.

Now, what has happened is the clearest proof of this.

After the spring tournament, the Yakushi High School baseball team, which became famous for its battles, played a lot of quality practice games.

Through these practice games, their overall strength has long since changed, especially in terms of defense.

Even the players of the Seido High School baseball team couldn't help but give their thumbs up when they saw it at this time.

It's really different!

The game continued in the back and forth of the back-and-forth, and in the process, the Seido High School baseball team recovered a point.

But instead of narrowing, the gap between them has become farther.

The Pharmacist High School baseball team scored one more point than them, and they scored two points.

Although Thunder City did not continue to contribute home runs, he also scored a super long hit that got off to a good start.

If it weren't for his super long play, Sawamura wouldn't have been so nervous and dropped two points in one go.

Now the score has become 5:2.

Qingdao High School baseball team trailed the opponent by three points.

But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Sawamura, who is in charge of pitching on the pitcher's mound, is gulping for fresh air.

He felt like his whole body was going to fall apart.

Zhang Han looked thoughtfully at the embarrassed Sawamura.

"Is this the end of it?"
