Chapter 53: Semi-finals! (The seventh update, ask for subscription)

Tenryuji Temple, also from Nagano, has been eliminated!

As for Akagi, it is inevitable that the rabbit dies and the fox is sad.

They wanted to know what kind of team could eliminate Tianlongsi Middle School?

But it's a pity that Akagi really doesn't have that spare time now.

They have more important things to do.

On August 11, it was sunny and light rainy. The temperature is 23-29 degrees.

The weather forecast said that there would be rain in the afternoon, and the organizers specially informed that the two semi-finals would be held simultaneously.

One at Jingu Court A and one at Jingu Court B.

In this way, both games can be held in the morning, and there is no need to worry about rain.

Jingu A field, on the small 20,000 spectator seats on the side of the first and third bases, has been seated seventy or eighty.

The organizers had no choice but to discuss whether they could open the stands in the outfield.

This is the first time that the competition of middle school students has reached this level.

Koshien is also in full swing right now, and most of the people who really love baseball in the country are gathered there.

But even so, the stands on both sides of the first and third bases of Jingu Field were still sitting. One of the most conspicuous is the stand close to the first base, which is the Akagi side. There are two phalanxes there, which are particularly conspicuous.

One of the phalanxes, all dressed in white shirts with the words Brotherhood of the Red Heart written on the tops!

In front of the phalanx, there were two chubby men, holding large flags.

On the banner is also the words of the Red Heart Brotherhood to support Akagi forever.

Another phalanx, three times more numerous than them. They were all dressed in black T-shirts with the golden Demon King's Praetorian Guards written on them.

This black and white are distinct.

It looks like they're supporting both sides of the game.

But in fact, everyone knows that these people support one side, or one of them.

Eijun Sawamura!

The legend of Sawamura is almost impossible to replicate in the whole country. Although the level of the soft ball league has always been controversial, it has to be said that because of the large number of people involved. In terms of the popularity of the national competition. The softball league even surpasses the youth leagues.

And Sawamura, as the most legendary player in the national tournament of the soft ball league, has accomplished a feat that is difficult for others to accomplish.

As a member of the Soft Ball League, he became the most recognizable junior star in the country.

In terms of popularity alone, Sawamura is now not only the first person in middle school. Even if high school students are included, Sawamura's popularity can be ranked in the top 10 in the country.

Like this, there are two student stars supported by independent fan groups, and Sawamura is the only one.

In the cowshed on the side of Xijing Middle School.

Narumi Cheng sat on the rest chair on his side, his eyes as if he was about to burst into flames.

"I'm, at me!"

Isn't this scene of 10,000 fans supposed to belong to him?

Where did this Sawamura come from? How can you steal the limelight from him.

Is it tolerable or unbearable, even if the uncle can bear it, the aunt will definitely not be able to bear it.

"Don't pull me, I'm going to them!"

Cheng Gong Ming stood up and was about to walk up to the pitcher's hill.

"Don't worry, in the first half of the first game, it's not us who are guarding."

Coach Yamamoto grabbed him.

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

Sawamura stands on the pitcher's hill.

Looking at the stands, the spectators who came to support themselves on purpose, as well as the dozen cameras around.

Sawamura felt the blood in his body begin to roll little by little.

That's all the way the game is!

Some people naturally yearn for the stage, and this is the case with Sawamura, the bigger the stage, the more excited he becomes.

Come on, come on!

It's such an occasion, it's such an opponent!

The familiar feeling returned to Sawamura, making his whole person look even more attractive.

"I'll let them keep hitting the ball, and the guards behind them will leave it to everyone!"

Sawamura opened his arms and shouted in the center of the court.

"Leave it to us!"

Yamaguchi said angrily.

"Let them call."

Oda looked a little careless, but his posture was very open.

"Xiao Rong!"

"Sawamura-senpai!!"

……

The friends responded one by one. Although this feeling has not been felt for a long time, Sawamura said that it was as if it had awakened the memory in their bodies.

In the stands.

There were many viewers who saw the interaction of Akagi Middle School for the first time.

"What's going on with this big league?"

"You're handsome, these little ones."

"It seems that against Shangxijing, against Shangqiping and Chenggong Ming, these little guys in Akagi don't care at all."

The competition has officially begun.

In the first half of the first game, Xijing attacked.

The first stick, Tanaka-san.

There are a total of three star players in Xijing, and now there are four with Naruto Narumiya. They are Tanaka, Inoue, Saipei and Narumiya.

Tanaka is the first baseman, and like the arrangement of other teams, he belongs to the role of speed and all-round strike.

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura glanced at Tanaka.

His stance is very standard, and the bat is very standard, if there is any flaw, it is too standard.

Sawamura's eyes narrowed slightly, and then threw his first shot.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball, like a laser, goes straight above home plate.

Looking at the flying baseball, Tanaka, who was originally hitting normally, suddenly changed his way of holding the bat, and he became a short hit.

The first ball of the first game of the first game is played directly with a short shot.

"Ping!"

The white ball was hit and rolled down the middle of the pitcher and third baseman.

"Don't move!"

The moment the ball was thrown, Sawamura's body began to rush forward and saw the ball come out. Sawamura immediately ordered Yamaguchi to stay put, and then he himself rushed towards the rolling baseball like a sharp arrow.

Picking up the ball, passing the ball, the whole action is done in one go, without the slightest bit of mud and water.

"Smack!"

The baseball passed into Oda's gloves, and Tanaka didn't have time to run.

"Out!"

The first bat was blocked and out.

Tanaka glanced at Sawamura in surprise and subconsciously touched his nose.

Just now, Sawamura seemed to know that he was going to use a short fight, why?

Sawamura, of course, won't tell him why, and the game continues.

Sawamura ushered in the second baton of Saikyo Junior High School, No. 1, outfielder, Tokuichiro.

Facing Tokuichiro, Sawamura threw a ball, and he didn't swing the bat.

Tokuichiro, who looks extremely reckless, is very calm when he strikes, and he observes the ball very carefully.

"Before Narumiya passed, he was always the ace in the team. It doesn't look like it's useless, at least the strength of the strike is pretty good. ”

With a judgment in his heart, Sawamura calmly threw his second ball.

This ball, Tokuichiro swung his bat.

"Ping!"

The small white ball was hit and rolled in the direction of the shortstop.

"It's cool!"

"Leave it to me!"

The good-looking wind is cool, and he trots to the landing point of the baseball, then picks up the ball and passes it to first base.

"Out!"

Three goals and two outs!

Although it doesn't look as shocking as the strikeouts, Sawamura's pitching still makes people feel eye-catching.

"Pitching rhythm, that's good!"
