In the cowshed of Yokozuna Junior High School.

When Yamanaka returned, Coach Takeda asked him, "How do you feel?" ”

"I thought it was going to hit me."

Yamanaka Kanosuke smiled bitterly, and then calmly analyzed: "It's weird, even if you know that your eyes have been deceived, but it's still not easy to deal with this kind of ball, and your body will react naturally!" To get used to his kind of ball, we need to get used to one or two rounds of play. ”

Takeda shook his head: "We don't have that much time, and no one knows if the other side will suddenly come up with any new balls." There is only one round, and you have to get used to the ball at this angle as soon as possible to score points! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the ace in his team: "Before that, Uesugi will be handed over to you." ”

Uesugi pushed down his glasses with his ring finger and said calmly, "I'll do my best." ”

In the second half of the first game, Akagi attacked.

"First baseman, first baseman, Honsen Oda."

"Wow, let me see how many abilities the so-called Twelve Heavenly Kings have."

Oda dragged the bat and walked up to the strike zone.

At this time, Uesugi as a pitcher was already on the pitcher's hill and was waiting solemnly.

"Please advise!"

Oda first greeted the referee respectfully. Then he turned around and stared at Uesugi with a cold face.

On the pitcher's mound, Uesugi wears glasses, and the sunlight shines from the side and reflects on Uesugi's spectacle lenses, making it impossible to see his eyes.

"Whoosh!"

Oda, who was waiting for him, had not yet reacted when the baseball appeared in the catcher's glove.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

Subconsciously licking his chapped lips, Oda looked at the gentle figure on the pitcher's mound in disbelief.

Is this guy a monster too?

So fast!

It's not about how fast Uesugi is on the ball, it's about Uesugi's pitching action. Generally, in order to pursue their own ball speed, the pitching action will be very open. Uesugi is different, when he throws the ball, it is as if he throws it casually, it is a simple lifting of his legs, waving his arms, and throwing the ball. The whole action is very simple, standard, and there is no cumbersome action.

But it was this action that saved 0.2 seconds when Uesugi threw the ball.

This 0.2 second is too deadly. You must know that the baseball flew out of the pitcher's hand to the catcher's glove, and it was only about 0.5 seconds in total. At this time, the pitcher's action of throwing the ball saves 0.2 seconds, what is the concept?

The batter starts to prepare for the hit when the pitcher makes the pitching action, and at this time, the pitcher saves 0.2 seconds of the pitching action, which can almost 100% disrupt the batter's hitting rhythm.

When Sawamura led Akagi to the Nagano Prefecture Tournament for the first time, he used the exact same trick.

Although this trick looks good, it actually has no prospects. If you shorten your pitching, you won't be able to fully play your ball speed. This kind of 120-kilometer ball is just enough to deal with middle school students.

Anything further up doesn't work at all. Not to mention the monsters on the professional field, even in high school, there are many beaters who wait for the ball to arrive at hand before swinging the bat. For such a hitter, this kind of ball is no different from looking for death.

It is for this reason that Sawamura used this kind of ball at the beginning, bluffed a little, and did not continue to develop. Sawamura can understand this, and there is no reason why Yokozuna's Takeda Supervisor and Uesugi don't know.

If you know it, you can still vote like this.

That's a lot of fun!

After watching Sawamura's pitching, despite Sawamura's extraordinary pitching prowess, Yokozuna didn't feel like they were being chased at all, and they still played at their own pace.

It's about adapting to change.

Sawamura's brows furrowed, and sure enough, the experience of the national championship was not fake. Although these children are not yet old, their psychological qualities have been honed very well.

"Ping!"

Oda was forced to change his rhythm, reluctantly swinging his bat, and sending the ball crookedly flying.

The ball that flew out had no speed or strength, and was easily picked up by Yokozuna's third baseman.

"Out!"

After Oda was out, Yamaguchi encountered the exact same situation as Oda, the rhythm of his swing was disrupted, and he hit an infield rebound ball and was blocked out.

Two outs, no one on base.

"The third stick, catcher, Feng Xiang."

Even in the face of Feng Xiang, Yokozuna had no intention of changing his tactics, and Uesugi still threw that kind of fast-paced ball.

Feng Xiang was chased without swinging his stick at first.

On the second ball, Uesugi pitched, and Feng Xiang calculated the rhythm and swung the bat, but unfortunately he still didn't hit the ball.

When he finished swinging the bat, baseball was late.

The rhythm of this ball was not advanced, but came just in time. From the fast tempo to the abrupt switch to the normal rhythm, this ball has the effect of a speedball.

Feng Xiang, two good balls were chased.

In the strike zone, Feng Xiang let out a long breath and forced himself to calm down. He's a bit of a rhythmic, and the most important thing at this time is to be calm, he has to play the ball calmly.

The ball speed is 12, there is no need to rush, he can wait for the ball to be shot before swinging the bat.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball flew in, and Feng Xiang, who had made up his mind, did not swing the bat for a long time.

This made the mountain in the trapper's position have a faint ominous premonition, and his ominous premonition soon came true.

"Ping!"

The baseball entered the hand, and Feng Xiang was as fast as thunder, swinging the bat.

The white baseball was hit and flew between the third baseman and the shortstop, neither of whom had time to stop the baseball and could only watch as the baseball passed in front of their eyes and flew into the field.

Feng Xiang took this opportunity to go to first base.

Two outs, one base.

"Fourth batter, pitcher, Sawamura-san."

Seeing Sawamura walking into the strike zone, the audience erupted in thunderous cheers in the ranks of the Brotherhood of the Red Heart.

"It's up to you, Sawamura!"

"It's time to show your strength!"

"Ace !!"

This scene caught the players in Yokozuna a little off guard.

What's going on? How come it was Sawamura's turn to strike, and the noise in the audience became so loud.

In the cowshed of Yokozuna.

Superintendent Takeda said to himself, "Uesugi, you feel it from this hustle and bustle, right?" The people of Akagi, how much they trust their four sticks. If you can ...... at this time"

In the position of the catcher, Yamanaka decisively gave Uesugi a code.

Kill him head-on!

At this time, if you can kill Sawamura head-on, it will definitely make Akagi's momentum fall by a large chunk.

On the pitcher's mound, Uesugi nodded silently as he quietly adjusted his pitching stance.

On the strike zone, Sawamura's eyes are bright and scary.

"The fast-paced pitch is out, what are you going to do next? Uesugi senior! ”
