In the first half of the fourth inning, Akagi attacked.

At this time, Akagi's blow happened to be the turn of Fengxiang and Sawamura.

Facing Feng Xiang for the second time, Nanami Haruka's pitch was still extremely strong.

"Good shot!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

In less than a minute, Nanami Haruka scored two good balls, and then threw his third ball at Feng Xiang non-stop.

"Whoosh!"

In the strike zone, Feng Xiang's face became extremely serious.

It's the first time he's seen this kind of Nanami Haruka, and the pace is so fast that even he can't keep up.

At this time, you slowly guess the path of the ball, thinking about what path to aim at, it is no longer realistic, you can only swing the stick by feeling.

Similarly, Haruka Nanami and Hattori also gave up the fine ball distribution and relied entirely on feeling shots.

This kind of confrontation compresses the part of fighting wits to the minimum, and everyone relies on their own strength to work hard.

Then on the third ball, Nanami Haruka threw his decisive curveball.

The baseball flew in, and before it entered home plate, it fell at great speed.

In this ball, Feng Xiangao missed with a wave of the stick and was knocked out by three strikes.

As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.

Sawamura stood on the strike zone.

In the stands.

Yamanaka commented in admiration: "Nanami Haruka deserves to be Nanami Haruka!" Although among the 12 heavenly kings, the soft ball league and the hard ball league each occupy six seats. But in fact, everyone knows that these talented pitchers in the soft ball league can't be compared with those monsters in the hard ball league after all. If they really fight, it is estimated that eighty percent of these so-called kings in the soft ball league will die miserably. If there's any exception, it's probably Nanami Haruka, his ball, it is estimated that even those monster fighters in the Hard Ball League are not easy to play. ”

There are many people in the soft ball league, and there are naturally more supporters, but the players who really stand at the top of the soft ball league know that they are probably difficult to compare with the top players in the hard ball league.

It's not that they grow the morale of others and destroy their own prestige.

But the reality is so cruel.

The top players in the soft ball league are also killed with one knife and one shot. When it comes to strength, of course they have. Even better than the vast majority of hardball league members.

Since you can stand out from more than 8,000 teams, you must be talented in your own right, there is no doubt about that.

The cruel thing is that in the hard ball league, the guys who can go to the top are not only talented, but also determined to fight for baseball.

How big is this gap in consciousness?

For example, this gap is a bit like Tojo and Yui in the original book.

Although both of them were born in the youth club, when they first entered the Qingdao Road, the difference in strength between the two was very obvious.

Hideaki Tojo's strength is a bit like now, the top player in the soft ball league.

After such a player enters the Qingdao Road, what is the result of fighting against the Qingdao seniors?

Slaughtered!

In two games, more than 20 points were conceded.

Of course, because he is very talented, after he is familiar with the intensity, physical strength and strength of high school, he can serve as the main force in just half a year.

But Tojo, who has just entered the school, is really weak.

This is almost the level of the top players in the current soft ball league.

They are talented, but they are unpolished, and their abilities are very limited.

Those who really received harsh training in middle school are like Yui Fumi.

This kind of person, as soon as he enters the Qingdao Road, he is directly promoted to a substitute. In the process of fighting with seniors, he can also play his strength steadily.

This is the hard ball league, the top level in the country!

The training they have received, including the determination of the players themselves, is different, and their strength is naturally different.

As the top players in the soft ball league, they all have a clear understanding of this.

In fact, the difference between the top players in the soft ball league and the top players in the hard ball league after entering high school also proves this.

Even in this case, Yamanaka still thinks that Nanami Haruka has the best level in the country.

This shows the strength of Haruka Nanami!

"Yes, Haruka Nanami is indeed dazzling, if it weren't for Sawamura......"

Uesugi said, suddenly stopped talking.

A very terrible question suddenly occurred to him.

If Haruka Nanami really has the qualifications to compete with those monsters in the Hard Ball League, then what is Sawamura?

Is it really like what those Internet trolls said, Sawamura is a super demon king born specifically to slaughter the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

"Don't think about it, that guy must be the strongest in the country. If a monster like him isn't the strongest in the country, I really can't imagine being the strongest in the country, and what level can it reach? ”

Yamanaka smiled wryly.

At this time, Sawamura, who was considered the strongest in the country by Yamanaka and Uesugi, was standing on the strike zone and facing Haruka Nanami's pitch.

Haruka Nanami, who has already lost a point, when he faces Sawamura again. It's still true.

However, this time he changed his previous strategy and used a straight ball completely against Sawamura, and no longer used his strongest change ball.

"Have you noticed?"

Sawamura felt a little bitter in his heart.

To be honest, he's good at playing the ball, which has never been exposed before. Even if you say it, I guess no one else will believe it.

Middle school students are still exposed to straight balls and straight balls.

For such players, the best thing they can deal with is of course a straight ball.

It's not that they can't cope with the change ball, but the smaller the arc of the change ball, the easier it is for them to deal with it.

A high-drop change ball like Haruka Nanami is completely a scorpion fried chili pepper in the entire middle school, and it is unique.

In the face of such a sharp change ball, it is not surprising that other middle school players will be helpless.

Of course, Sawamura is an exception!

Although he is also a middle school student, he has more than ten years of baseball experience, and he is naturally handy at playing different balls.

Especially those change balls with a large range of changes, such balls are difficult to throw, and for Sawamura, a 13-year-old boy whose body is still developing, there is no ball that is more pleasing to him than such a change ball.

Sawamura also relied on this to eat Nanami Haruka to death.

But now it is clear that Nanami Haruka, or Tenryu Temple, has noticed this.

Sawamura wants to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger again, and it is impossible to play the decisive ball of Haruka Nanami.

"Ping!"

After tangling two balls, Sawamura knocked out Haruka Nanami's pitch with a single bat.

To be honest, it was a good shot, and it wasn't surprising that it landed to form a hit.

At this time, the fielder of Tenryuji Middle School, as if possessed by a god, caught the ball scored by Sawamura in the process of running.

"Out!"

It was played until the end of the first half of the fourth round, and the time was just over 20 minutes.

Hurry, everything is too fast!

It's a little too fast to keep up.
