Chapter Ninety-Seven: Stressful! (1st Update)
In the first half of the seventh inning, Daocheng Industrial High School attacked.
Except for the first game, when he was raided by Carl Ross to steal the base, until now, Sawamura Eijun has not let any hitter from Inagi Industrial High School go to base.
His performance on the pitcher's mound is definitely worthy of his title of the Great Demon King.
But that doesn't change the fact in the slightest.
That is, until now, Seido High School is still lagging behind.
It was precisely that one base that made Qingdao High School lose the only and crucial point of the game.
Originally, the friends of Qingdao High School still thought that they couldn't give up, and once they gave up, it would mean that everything was over.
So in the previous process, they actively wanted to get on base, they wanted to score.
I want to take advantage of the king's posture and snatch back the lost points.
But alas, none of them succeeded.
If Sawamura Eijun's performance is worthy of his title of Great Demon King, then Narumiya's performance simply exceeds people's expectations of him.
In this game, he not only showed a pitch that was not inferior to Sawamura Eisumi, but also scored the most crucial point.
The point that Carl Ross finally succeeded in stealing the base was to take advantage of Narumiya's blow. If it weren't for Narumu Narumiya at that bat, he hit the ball into the gap of the guard.
If Carl Ross wants to score, I'm afraid it will not be easy.
By the time the game reached the seventh game, Qingdao High School was already at an all-round disadvantage. Although the gap of one point will not make them feel hopeless, there is no way to attack the opponent for a long time, and it also makes the friends of Qingdao High School feel confused.
"The previous duel was too peaceful!"
Superintendent Kataoka, who had not given any instructions to the game before coming on the field, finally spoke.
When the friends heard this, they looked at Kataoka for some reason.
"Without a doubt, the next step is the key to this matchup!"
Superintendent Kataoka glanced up at the score.
Even he had to praise Sawamura Eijun and Narumiya Naruto.
Except for the accident at the beginning, until now, neither side has even let anyone go to base.
So much so that the game fell into a full-fledged stalemate.
This situation will not be silent forever, and Qingdao High School will definitely not be willing to fall behind by one point. Similarly, the contestants of Daocheng Industrial High School will not stop there.
The characteristics of the two sides are very similar, the really strong beaters are concentrated in the first few bats, and in the seventh game, it is very coincidental that the hitters on both sides have the turn to play the upper line.
In other words, if they can't rely on their strength to score in this game, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future.
For Qingdao, this is a game that determines life and death. For Daocheng Industrial High School, it is also very important.
"If Mr. Kuniyou has any means, he will definitely use it in this game! So you must be careful when you are guarding, play steadily, and take the number of outs as the standard, do you understand? ”
"Oku!!"
"Sawamura!"
"Yes!"
"Your new change ball, so far it has worked very well. But the previous innings left too much impression on their hitters, so they should control it properly in this inning. Even if you don't use the carter, they won't necessarily be able to hit your ball. Let's go on the field with that in mind. ”
"Yes!"
Sawamura's face was calm.
He has encountered bigger crises, and this kind of small scene in front of him naturally can't shake Sawamura.
At this moment, what he imagined in his mind was, how to attack in a moment?
This gap is like a moat across the ground.
At this time, Sawamura Eijun also really realized how the third-grade seniors left the team, what kind of weakening it brought to Qingdao High School.
When he was on the same team before, Sawamura didn't have such a clear feeling. Now that they are separated, Sawamura Eijun really feels it. How big is the gap between the current team and the seniors at the beginning?
This gap is simply unimaginable.
If it was when the third-grade seniors were there before, in the face of this situation, Sawamura Eijun was absolutely confident that the seniors would chase the scores back.
They're just that reliable.
But now.
If he doesn't work hard with Miyuki, or he gets into trouble.
In this game, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the sky.
The burden on his shoulders was a lot heavier, and at this time, he was almost catching up with the pressure that Sawamura Eijun was under at Akagi Middle School.
At that time, the victory and defeat were also pinned on Sawamura Eijun alone.
But at that time, the Akagi Middle School baseball team was completely a grassroots team, except for Sawamura Eijun, who was strict with himself and wanted to win the national championship, the other friends didn't think about this problem at all.
In the end, they were able to win the national championship, and they were all dizzy. After being praised by the media, he pointed to his nose and asked.
"Is that me on TV?"
It seems that he can't believe that he is so handsome?
But the current Qingdao High School is different, and the ambition of the friends around him is very obvious.
They want to dominate the country!
The will of the big guy also invisibly put a lot of pressure on Sawamura, the trump card.
As the ace of the team, he must carry the team forward. This kind of pressure is completely incomparable to when I was in Akagi Middle School.
If you have to use an analogy, it's like playing football, and before Sawamura Eijun led the Shenzhou team.
At that time, he was ambitious and wanted to win the championship, but there was not so much pressure around him.
It's good to be able to make it to the whole country, and they are satisfied to win one or two games, and it is a complete surprise to really win the national championship, and it feels like winning the lottery.
Now Sawamura Eijun is leading the Rumba team.
Compared with the previous Shenzhou team, there is no comparison at all, and he is not a heavyweight player at all.
But Sawamura, as the leader, when he led the Rumba team, he was under much more pressure than when he led the Shenzhou team.
After all, for the Shenzhou team, every step forward is to open up history. They're happy to get to the World Cup, and if they can win one or two more games, they'll be ecstatic.
But for the Rumba team, participating in the World Cup, as long as they don't win the championship, is a failure!
It's sad to think about.
Today's Sawamura Eijun is facing such a situation.
At that time, when the third-year seniors were there, they were able to share a lot of pressure for Sawamura Eijun.
Now, apart from Miyuki, Sawamura doesn't even feel that anyone can share the pressure for him.
It's not that he underestimates his teammates, it's that their strength is really not good!
So far, there is no hope of being able to conquer Narumiya.
That state!
Under tremendous pressure, Sawamura began to miss the state before, that is, the last game, against Ukumori High School and Umemiya.
Sawamura has a hunch that if he regains his previous feelings, he should be able to hit Narumiya's ball.
There's a chance!
Just when Sawamura Eijun missed his previous state, Inaki Industrial launched a round of onslaught.
The gift package carefully prepared by the Guoyou Superintendent for Sawamura Eijun has appeared.
