Chapter Twenty-Seven: Kuramoto's Ambition (Classic Must Read)
The game reached the bottom half of the sixth game, and the two sides were generally evenly matched.
The reason for this result is that there is a role that has to be mentioned, and that person is Mukai Sun.
Although he was famous almost at the same time as Sawamura Eijun. (Only in high school.) )
But the status of the two is very different.
First of all, the most obvious point is that Sawamura Eijun was already the team's ace in the summer tournament, and not only that, he is also one of the team's two cores.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most important member of the team, and his position at Seido High School is irreplaceable.
And what he has achieved is also like seeing a living miracle.
First, he led the team to miraculously win the championship of the Kanto Conference, and then passed all the way in the summer Koshien Garden, defeating countless strong opponents, and finally stood at the top of the country.
Today's Sawamura Eijun seems to be the most famous player in the country.
After the retirement of the third-grade seniors, he was a strong contender for the first person in the country.
When it comes to the top players in the country, no matter what aspect it is, Sawamura Eijun should be able to occupy a place.
After Xiao Sun entered high school, although it was smooth sailing, by the time Koshien started, he was already the main pitcher of the wealthy Didong High School.
If you put it in other story templates, the little sun can be regarded as the protagonist's life.
It's just that the most feared thing in this world is contrast.
If you don't compare Little Sun with Sawamura Eijun, he is still very good.
The top genius in the country is just this treatment.
If you want to say that the only fly in the ointment is probably that he was not able to win the national hegemony.
But once compared with Sawamura Rongjun, the gap between the two is not half a star.
To put it bluntly, the gap between them is all-encompassing. Not only in terms of strength, but even in terms of fame and status, there is an obvious gap.
In such a situation.
The audience took it for granted that in this strong dialogue between first-year aces, Sawamura Eijun should have a crushing advantage.
In fact, Sawamura's performance did not disappoint them, and Sawamura still maintained his great demon king-level dominance.
It's just that Little Sun's performance really surprised these audiences!
Although there are a lot of credit for the defenders of Tedong High School.
But Xiao Yangyang is stubborn, pressing Qingdao High School, which has just won the national hegemony before.
Not a single cent.
If it's the first two or three games, it's not impossible. After all, each pitcher has his own characteristics, and it is possible that the Qingdao beaters will not be able to grasp the trick for a while.
After all, even if they have just won the national hegemony, these players in Qingdao High School are human beings, not gods.
But by now, the entire five rounds have ended.
The score between the two sides remained 0:0.
This is obviously very unreasonable.
In other words, Qingdao High School did not take any advantage from the little sun for two full rounds.
Even the players of Seido High School have had their offensive strength drastically reduced after retiring from the third year.
But the emaciated camel is still bigger than the horse, and with an excellent fighter like Sawamura Miyuki, Seido High School still retains a strong attack power.
However, all this, in front of Mukai Sun, did not play a role.
After two rounds of playing, Qingdao High School has not been able to score a single point.
In this way, the game came to the second half of the sixth game, and it was also the third time that the fighters of Qingdao High School played against Xiao Sun.
"First bat, guerrilla, Kurachi!"
Kuramochi changed his previous style of giggling, didn't even say his favorite mantra, and simply walked into the strike zone.
After stepping into the strike zone, he was also unspeakably calm.
The bat in his hand is held high, and it looks as if he is about to swing it with all his strength at any moment.
After Xiao Sun and Qianxian Gang hesitated, they finally threw the ball very decisively.
"Whoosh!"
The small white ball flew like a meteor with its tail in tow.
Kuramoto, who was originally expressionless, suddenly made a move at this time, and the long fight he originally put on was a feint.
His real purpose was to play short.
"Ping!"
The normal swing of the stick suddenly changed to a short hit.
The small white ball is touched and rolls out.
Kuramochi in the strike zone, the whole person is like an African panther hunting prey, rushing to the first base with all his might.
This short ball, to be honest, wasn't great.
It's too fast!
The fielder, who originally picked up the ball, thought that after he picked up the ball, it would definitely be too late to pass the first base.
Before he could raise his head, Kuramochi was already rushing to first base.
So fast!
The wild hand who picked up the ball in Didong High School trembled with fear.
He hurried the ball to first base.
But where is the time? He could only watch Kuramochi go to base.
"Safety!"
Kuramochi made it to first base.
With no one out, Seido High School's offensive engine took the lead on first base.
"Whoa!!!"
The little ones in the rest area of Qingdao High School couldn't bear it anymore, they held on to the railing and roared desperately, and some even directly disguised their two hands as a big horn and shouted at Kurachi.
Not only Qingdao High School's own friends, but also those who came to support Qingdao High School to watch the game, are also looking forward to the results of this game as soon as possible.
This is a good opportunity.
"Kurachi!"
"Holding !!"
At first, there were four or five, but then more and more people shouted, and eventually more than one-third of the people on the court displayed and shouted Kuramochi's name in unison.
"When did it become so popular?"
Sawamura kept turning his head and felt incredible looking at this warm scene on the court.
It's just a short fight to steal the base, is this what everyone is like?
Miyuki, Haruichi, Hakushu.
They've had hits before, and unlike Kuramochi's hit, they're serious hits!
Why didn't I see such enthusiasm from the audience at that time?
Sawamura is a little confused, what do you think?
The audience naturally also has the thoughts of the audience, and the situation in front of them seems to them.
It's the real chance to score.
Kuramochi, who had the first bat, was already on base, and behind him was Haruichi Kominato, who had superb striking skills.
And, now the ace and pillar of Qingdao High School.
Even the people of Didong still want to exchange the full base for the number of innings.
They also don't have that many escorts to use.
If all goes well, the people of Sawamura, Miyuki, and Teito High School must choose one of them for a duel.
So, the opportunity of Qingdao High School is here!
On the first base.
Kuramochi quietly left first base......
