At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun still looks soft.

On the pitcher's hill, Sawamura enjoyed the familiar feeling with all his heart.

At Yokohama Stadium, tens of thousands of spectators sat on both sides of the pitch and cheered for baseball.

In the press gallery, more than a dozen media reporters sat there together, fiddling with the long guns and short guns in their hands. Through these devices, millions of fans across the country can wait next to TV or online media to watch the game.

"Playing in front of millions of people!"

Sawamura murmured.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"It's a nostalgic feeling."

Sawamura reopened his eyes, and no one knew at this moment that a truly terrifying monster had awakened, and this directly detonated a legend of a national competition for middle school students.

"The second round of the Kanto Convention, the first one. Akagi Junior High School's competition against Yokozuna Junior High School has officially begun! ”

In the first half of the first game, Yokozuna Middle School attacked.

"First bat, guerrilla, Nishimura-san."

Nishimura is 172 centimeters tall and is not very conspicuous at Yokozuna Middle School.

But when he saw him standing in the strike zone, Feng Xiang's heart was inexplicable.

A very uncomfortable feeling lingered in Feng Xiang's heart. Nishimura, who doesn't look like much, immediately gives people a very nasty feeling as soon as he stands in the strike zone. Combined with the information collected before, this nasty feeling in Feng Xiang's heart became more and more obvious.

Nishimura Moriki, Yokozuna's most versatile player, is also the strongest guerrilla in the entire middle school world, there is no one. Speed, strikes, garrisons, steals, and tactical execution are all second to none in the country.

Once such a hitter hits base, it will definitely become very troublesome.

Just when Feng Xiang was extremely entangled, he suddenly saw Sawamura give him a cryptic code.

Unlock: All Straight Balls!

Unlock all straight balls, now?

Feng Xiang looked at Sawamura incredulously, people who didn't know Sawamura, seeing Sawamura's code, I was afraid that Sawamura was joking. Is a straight ball a straight ball, at most it is a change in the path of the ball. How can it be called unlocking all straight balls? Could it be that your straight ball can be the same as the changing ball, how many kinds of balls can you divide?

In fact, people who really know Sawamura will not make a fuss. Sawamura's straight balls, there are really many kinds.

Ordinary straight balls, slightly floating balls, and rapid upward climbs can avoid the large upward balls that the hitter swings. Sawamura alone has used three of them in the competition before.

As Sawamura's partner, Feng Xiang certainly knows Sawamura's straight balls, and it's not just these three.

In Feng Xiang's eyes, Sawamura's talent is unique, he is a man who plays straight balls out of flowers.

It's just that Feng Xiang always thought that Sawamura would wait until the situation was tense to unlock these straight balls. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the competition with Yokozuna, Sawamura had to go all out?

After cooperating for more than a year, Feng Xiang is still very convinced of Sawamura's judgment of the situation. If Sawamura thinks it's necessary to unlock all the straight balls, it means that it's time to unlock all the straight balls.

"Yokozuna, it's so strong!"

For the first time, Feng Xiang had a clear understanding of Yokozuna, the national overlord. This understanding is not derived from looking at Yokozuna's previous brilliant records, nor is it obtained from watching the video of Yokozuna's games. The reason why Feng Xiang feels this way is simply Sawamura's attitude towards Yokozuna.

It's a completely different attitude from when I fought against Daihoku and Nagano before.

After having a clear understanding, Feng Xiang no longer has any obstacles with the ball.

Squatting down, he decisively gave Sawamura a code.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura nodded, and then, as if flowing water, threw his first ball.

"Whoosh!"

The little white ball, whizzing.

In the striking area, Nishimura did not rush to swing the bat for the first goal, and watched Sawamura's first ball.

Despite only watching one ball, Nishimura had a judgment on Sawamura's ball speed. In the striking zone, Sawamura's ball speed was a little faster than he expected. Of course, this ball speed is still within his range.

The key question is how to distinguish between a floating ball and a normal straight ball.

Yokozuna also has his own countermeasures for this.

With a plan in mind, Nishimura raised the bat in his hand high and prepared to strike.

"Whoosh!"

There was hardly much pause, and Sawamura's second goal came.

Nishimura is also mentally prepared for such a fast pace, so he is not panicked.

His eyes were fixed on the direction the baseball was flying, ready to shoot the ball.

It's coming, it's coming!

The ball is the inside corner.

After having a judgment, Nishimura made a decisive move.

His swing was very thorough, and it was clear that he was extremely confident in his observations.

It's just that the result doesn't seem to be the same as he imagined.

The bat and baseball didn't touch anyone at all, and Nishimura's swing failed.

"Smack!"

The baseball fell straight into Feng Xiang's glove.

"Good shot!"

Nishimura glanced back at Feng Xiang's gloves for catching the ball, and then looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound in shock.

The goal just now is in the middle!

This, how is this possible?

How can an inside corner suddenly become centered? Nishimura was puzzled.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

After seeing this showdown, many viewers expressed their opinions.

"What kind of national all-round player, you can't even hit a straight ball in the middle."

"The difference between the bat and the baseball was almost 20 centimeters, and I was drunk. National hegemon, is it at such a level? ”

That's what neutral fans say.

The hundreds of brothers of the Red Heart Brotherhood were only happy at this time, and the fans who supported the host Yokozuna on the other side were only shocked.

In fact, none of them can explain the goal just now.

Everyone was puzzled, but the ball in Kezawa Village did not stop.

Just when Nishimura was basking in shock, Sawamura's third shot was taken.

Nishimura, who was in shock in the face of this sudden goal, didn't even have time to react.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

"Strikeout!!

Without a hint of suspense, the hitter was knocked out with strikeouts.

And it's not over yet, it's almost the same routine, Sawamura struck Yokozuna's second baton.

Triple strikes, two consecutive strikeouts.

The entire Yokohama Stadium is like a firecracker lit for the festival, and there are constant exclamations.

The brothers of the Brotherhood of Red Hearts danced with joy.

Sure enough, their Sawamura is invincible in the world, and even the national overlord Yokozuna has no way to deal with him.

In the cowshed of Yokozuna.

Nishimura and Yokozuna, the second batters who had just left the game, were like ashes. Until now, they haven't figured it out, what happened to Sawamura's pitch just now?

"Overseer Takeda?"

The assistant coach gave them a worried look, then looked at their supervisor, Takeda, with pleading eyes.

Takeda's eyes never left Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, and he looked at Sawamura with admiration in his eyes.

"What a genius!"
