"Good ball, good ball, good ball, strikeout!"

With Oda Honsen being struck, the match between Akagi Junior High School and Nagano Metropolitan Junior High School entered the final stage.

By the seventh inning, the situation of the two sides was almost identical. All for one point and two hits.

In the seventh game, it was also the turn of the third bat!

Half a catty and eight taels, evenly matched.

These two words are probably the best reflection of the strength and performance of both sides.

In the first half of the seventh inning, Nagano Metropolitan High School attacked.

Before the fighters came on the field, Fengxiang Long Yi finally cheered everyone up.

"So far, it's not the best situation for us. But overall, it can be regarded as dragging Akagi into our rhythm. The loss of points at the beginning was a surprise, but fortunately we recovered it after that. It's still a tie, so let's play according to the plan we agreed before the game. ”

"Yes!"

"Third batter, pitcher, Mari-san."

At the beginning of the first half of the seventh inning, Sawamura ushered in Mari.

At this time, Sawamura was a little annoyed and angry. To be honest, this really can't blame Nagano Metropolitan Stand, and the only way to blame it is that Sawamura himself has not been freed from the habits of his previous life.

There are generally two rules for pitchers and catchers. The first is to play the role of a pitcher and catcher communication, so the code must be clear. Of course, no matter how clear the code is, it is not as good as communicating directly with the mouth.

But in a real game, direct communication is definitely not possible. Once the hitter knows your ball path and defensive tactics, it's easy to target. Therefore, the code must abide by the second criterion, which is secrecy.

Ten years later, with the advancement of technology. In the big leagues, there are so many high-definition cameras and computers. Cracking the code of the casting partner has become very simple. Once the code is detected, the team playing at home has a way to notify the hitter on the field.

Strictly speaking, this practice is certainly against the law. But as long as the evidence is not caught, who knows? Who cares?

Sawamura has been in the big league for so long, so naturally he has seen these things.

His ball path has been guessed continuously, and Sawamura's first thought is that he has a small habit of pitching, which is undoubtedly the most likely situation. Dan Sawamura's pitching posture in his previous life was adjusted by countless famous players, and it is impossible to have a small habit that can be seen with the naked eye. And the computer and the high-definition camera, after comparison, even if Sawamura's small habits are discovered, it is too late to notify the beaters on the field. Therefore, Sawamura did not hesitate to rule out this possibility.

The possibility of small habits is ruled out, and all that remains is the code. Sawamura subconsciously thought that his own side of the code was seen through, so this situation occurred.

Passwords, in order to keep secret, in the process of communication, there are generally two kinds. One is the gesture code, for example, the catcher keeps typing numbers, two fingers, one finger, and then according to the different sequences, to express different ball paths and guard formations.

The catcher gives the pitcher a code, because it is difficult for the hitter to see, so it is good to use a numeric password, but the pitcher gives the catcher a code differently. If he uses the gesture password, he will be seen by the beater, which is naturally not good! You don't know if the other hitter can guess the meaning of your password. So the pitcher will generally just nod or shake his head in reply to the hitter, indicating whether he agrees or disagrees.

Of course, this is only in the catcher-based ball-play, and the pitcher-based ball-play, the pitcher can't fully express himself just by nodding and shaking his head. If you want to fully express yourself, you need other movement aids. And these actions are generally hidden in the pitcher's small actions, such as touching the hat, slapping the arm, juggling the ball, shouting slogans, blinking, etc.

Of course, the pitcher is not sure if he has unconsciously made small movements, and whether such small actions will affect the catcher's catch. For example, if a pitcher shakes his head twice in a row, and setting this as the key means that the next small action is no longer an unconscious small action, but a specific code......

This is the case with Sawamura and Feng Xiang, although Feng Xiang has a good ability to match the ball as a catcher, but it cannot be compared with Sawamura, a pitcher who was reborn in the big league. So the one who really plays the ball between the two is Sawamura. Ordinary opponents, opponents who can rely on straight balls and ball power to suppress, Sawamura will listen to Feng Xiang's greetings. Once confronted by a difficult opponent, Sawamura will activate their specific key and play a code.

Just like this game, against Mari and Tsuchihara, it was mainly Sawamura who was playing with the ball.

Zemura didn't deliberately hide this matter, and naturally they were not afraid of people knowing.

Unexpectedly, it was this little habit that gave Akagi a fatal blow.

The first and second basemen of Nagano Metropolitan High School before were naturally not the opponents that Sawamura needed to match the ball, and these opponents were handed over to Okuichi Fengxiang. And Feng Xiang Aoyi's ball-matching habits were obviously seen through by his father.

The first ball of the same person, if the last round is the outside corner, then the first ball of the next round Feng Xiang Ao 18 percent will be matched with the inside corner.

Fengxiang Long Yi took advantage of such a small law to direct his disciples to swing the stick. For what his coach said, the beater naturally regarded it as a good word and believed it.

That's why they pitched Sawamura and hit it out in a row.

After his pitch was hit out continuously, Sawamura subconsciously thought that Feng Xiang's match was seen through, and then the third stick was Mari. He took the right to match the ball back to himself.

In the face of Sawamura's continuous change balls, Mari didn't swing the bat. Even when he was about to be striked, he would rather use a short fight than fight hard with Sawamura.

From Sawamura's standpoint, this naturally strengthens the possibility that they can see through their own matching. But he knew there that Feng Xiang Long Yi just saw that every time he threw the ball, there were a lot of small movements.

As for seeing through the code of Zecun, don't talk about it. This is a high school softball league, but it's not a major league, and it's not comparable at all. Sawamura just spent too much time in the big leagues in his previous life, and his thinking hasn't changed.

Sawamura's current feeling is very similar to the shame and anger of being crushed by a three-year-old child's little tricks.

So when he faced off against Mari, he was very energetic.

He didn't even use the change ball, he just bullied people with staggered inside and outside corners.

"Good shot!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

Two balls in a row, especially the second ball, felt the power of Sawamura's throw, and Mari's face became ugly. He had a very bad premonition, he felt as if they had accidentally released a wild beast.

In fact, it's pretty much the same.

Originally, Sawamura's pitching was very rational, and the physical strength was distributed, and the team could keep up......

In short, he has a lot to think about.

But now, Sawamura suddenly figured it out. His opponents are a group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old kids, who are not even physically mature, what is he serious about them? Isn't it better to crush it directly with strength.

"Whoosh!"

After thinking about it, Sawamura's pitching became aggressive.
