Chapter 108: Who Knows Whom Better? (Homage to Throwing Knives)
Wonderful!
Ryosuke Kominato's growth and performance are really amazing.
"Well played!"
"Run!"
In the rest area of Seido High School, the players were excited.
At this time, Ryosuke Kominato can get on base, which is definitely very beneficial for Qingdao.
It's just that before they finished shouting, there was a new change on the field. Oda Motosei, who had been struck out by Tanba before, suddenly appeared in front of the baseball like a gust of wind, stopped the ball, and passed it to Matsumoto at first base.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
All this happened so fast that the Qingdao players didn't react.
It took a long second for a cry of surprise to come from the rest area of Qingdao.
"I'll go, this guy's speed is no worse than that of Kurachi!"
"What a god!"
"It's so fast."
"Who's that guy?"
In the position of waiting for the blow, Sawamura had a slight smile on his face.
That guy is Hono Oda, the first baseman of the former Akagi High School baseball team, Iron Wall. Although the strength of the blow is as weak as that of a rookie, when it comes to garrisoning, Oda Honsen is a real genius.
Even if he is placed in the green road, the garrison can be compared to him. Sawamura seems to be just a junior Ryosuke Minato.
"I haven't seen you for two years, but you really gave me a big surprise!"
Sawamura muttered with a smile.
He was the third baton of the day, and Superintendent Kataoka did not assign Sawamura the task of pitching, and certainly did not relax the exploitation of his blows.
In this match, Sawamura has a heavy task in the strike.
The strongest thing about Xinglong High School is their guarding, Nanami Haruka sits on the pitcher hill, and there are star players around him to help.
It's not easy to break through their garrison.
Stretching out his bat, Sawamura moved his body.
At the same time, he went to face with Ryosuke Kominato.
"You should know the characteristics of the other party very well?"
Ryosuke Kominato suddenly spoke.
Sawamura was stunned for a moment, but nodded anyway.
"If there is not much change, I know his routine very well."
Sawamura does not deny this.
"I'm not complimenting you here, I'm just reminding you that they must have studied your characteristics very thoroughly."
Kindness?
Sawamura's heart shook dramatically.
When Ryosuke Kominato didn't say it, he really didn't realize it. Just like he was familiar with Xinglong's opponents, these guys must have studied themselves carefully.
"I'm not the same as before!"
"Again, they're different!"
Ryosuke Kominato doesn't know what's wrong today, as if he's deliberately looking for Sawamura's stubble.
"Senior?"
Sawamura looked at him puzzled.
"Maybe it's my delusion, but I feel like that guy named Nanami Haruka is getting stronger and stronger in his pitching. If you don't take advantage of the fact that he hasn't stabilized yet, he will score points. There's a good chance we'll have a hard time finding a chance to tackle him after that. ”
Ryosuke Kominato said.
Sawamura nodded.
The characteristics of Haruka Nanami, he is equally clear. At the end of the day, he's also a slow pitcher, and the more he gets to the end, the easier it is for him to find his touch. Once he feels it, his strength is indeed not to be underestimated.
But.
Ryosuke Kominato felt it so quickly, which still surprised Sawamura.
It's only the first time he's fought Haruka Nanami, right?
Subconsciously glanced at his senior, and Sawamura suddenly had a very uncomfortable feeling. After entering Koshien, the momentum of Ryosuke Kominato's body became stronger and stronger.
Even him, when facing Ryosuke Kominato, has a lot of pressure.
It's a pitcher's intuition!
As a pitcher, Sawamura can clearly feel Ryosuke Kominato's transformation.
In his previous life, because Seido did not make it to Koshien in the end, Ryosuke Kominato did not continue to go down the road of baseball......
In this life, I wonder if anything will change?
This thought flashed through Sawamura's mind, and then he threw it out of his mind.
Now is not the time to think about this, his mission is to deal with Haruka Nanami.
Ryo Kominato's seniors said so, as a junior at this time, how can there be no performance?
Standing firmly in the strike zone, Sawamura raised the bat in his hand high, and then stared at the pitcher mound with a pair of eyes.
While waiting for the blow, the bat in his hand was not stationary, but shook slightly, looking for an opportunity.
It felt like as long as the ball came and he would never miss it.
Catcher's position.
Feng Xiangao glanced at Sawamura with a complicated expression, and when he just said hello, Sawamura didn't look at him.
The former partner, I didn't expect it to be like this now.
In a way, Sawamura is more stubborn than Nanami Haruka.
used to be friends who talked about everything, but now the relationship has become so 'cold'.
"Whew!"
With a long breath, Feng Xiang spit out all the stuffiness in his heart.
Now, it's not time for him to complain.
He still has dreams, he has responsibilities, he has competitions.
If you know about Sawamura, probably no one knows more than Fengxiang Okuichi. After all, the two were partners in the hunt before!
Sawamura's striking power is not particularly strong, but he is very good at playing the ball.
At this time, if he didn't guess wrong, he must be aiming for Haruka Nanami's change ball.
Haruka Nanami's strongest thing is the change ball!
As if innate, Haruka Nanami's change ball is very different, and the change is terrifying.
This kind of ball, it is not easy for ordinary hitters to touch the ball, let alone play well.
Even if the player can touch the ball, it is generally difficult to hit the ball with such a large variation.
But this kind of ball can't be used against Sawamura.
Sawamura is too good at playing the ball, and Hosei even has a hunch. If he gives Haruka Nanami a change ball, it is likely that Sawamura will hit a home run directly.
"Just use a straight ball! Use a straight ball from the outside corner to decide the winner. ”
With a plan in his heart, Feng Xiang gave a code to Nanami Haruka on the pitcher's hill.
Pitcher mound.
Nanami nodded untraceably.
Having carefully studied Sawamura, of course, he also knows the characteristics of Sawamura's blows.
"Whoosh!"
As if using all the strength of his body, Nanami Haruka threw the small white ball in his hand.
The small white balls flew like laser lights.
On the strike zone, a smile appeared on the corner of Sawamura's mouth.
He stepped out and hit a straight ball into the top corner.
As if he had been waiting for a long time, Sawamura waved his bat unceremoniously and hit the white ball out.
"Ping!"
The moment the bat touched the ball, Sawamura's face changed.
It's so heavy!
Haruka Nanami's pitch was heavier than he expected.
This huge force almost didn't distort Sawamura's swing.
Fortunately, Sawamura stabilized.
The white ball is knocked out and bounces off the ground.
This time the ball flew to the outfield, and Rao is Oda couldn't do anything.
Sawamura took the opportunity to get on the base!
