Chapter 194: Mr. Monster (3rd Update)
After Sawamura Eisei once again let the beaters of Jumo Daikenmaki High School go up and down three times, Seido High School has completely mastered the initiative of the game.
A particularly interesting thing was also discovered by the keen viewer.
That is, until now, Sawamura Eijun has not allowed the players of Troll Oto Makaki High School to win any hits.
"It's Sawamura!"
Looking at the small notebook in his hand, Owada Akiko in the press box stared at her beautiful and charming big eyes, looking at Sawamura Eijun in a daze.
From this moment on, she has to abandon her obsession with glasses. Even if she didn't wear glasses, she felt that Sawamura Eisuki was too handsome!
"It's three up and three down again!"
Fujifu was also very emotional.
So far, Sawamura has pitched a full five innings, and the number of pitches is just over 40.
Considering that this is the final, if there are no surprises, Sawamura should throw to the end.
Regardless of overtime, there are still four innings and 12 outs.
"Maybe in this game, Sawamura Eisumi will create a great miracle."
Fujifu had a vague premonition, a premonition that something particularly important was going to happen.
The game continued, and in the first half of the sixth inning, it was the turn of the players from Seido High School to attack.
"Troll Otomaki High School asked for a change of pitcher, and pitcher Masamune Hongo played."
This result, Sawamura Eijun is not surprised at all. Although the pitcher formation of Troll Otomaki High School is strong, the ones who are really qualified to play against Seido High School are none other than the previous Nitta and the upcoming Hongo.
Now that Xintian is at the end of the crossbow, it is natural to be replaced. The one who can succeed Nitta is naturally Hongo.
Honestly, it's a real troublesome opponent.
But it's also a blood-pumping opponent.
From Seido High School's point of view, it was a pity that we were not able to get a score from Nitta.
If they can attack Nitta in advance, there is no doubt about the outcome of the game. But now, the game is back with a question mark.
"Let's start now!"
Although he has already thrown five rounds, he has consumed a lot of physical strength. But in the face of Hongo, Sawamura Eijun's fighting spirit is still high.
In the past life, Hongo was the closest person to a legend.
Sawamura, who aims to be a legend, Hongo is the opponent he must defeat.
All in all, the two sides haven't played each other for a whole year. The last time they played each other was in a national competition in middle school, and that time, Sawamura Eijun was able to win, and he also played some tricks.
After Hongo was defeated to him, he was ashamed and courageous, and his strength improved very significantly.
Another year has passed, but how far has Hongo progressed?
Sawamura himself was very curious.
"Then let me take a look, what is your strength now?"
Sawamura was in high spirits.
"First bat, shortstop, Kurachi."
The starter in the sixth game of Seichi High School was Yoichi Kuramochi.
When he saw the pitcher on the hill, Hongo, who had just been substituted, couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart.
When he watched the materials before, he felt very incredible. I didn't expect that in this class of first-year freshmen, there were really monsters.
In addition to the valley, there are people who can throw balls with a speed of more than 150 kilometers.
Hongo authentic!
By every measure, this guy is an absolute monster.
"If we can't get rid of this monster, we won't be able to win the victory."
In my heart, I already have a plan.
In the previous days, he had tried to steal bases, and although they were unsuccessful, he should have impressed his opponents.
So this time, it's a normal blow.
Kuramochi would think so, it's not that he doesn't think he can't do it himself. On the contrary, this is the conclusion of the position after weighing it up.
Hongo's ball speed is too fast, and the ball is so powerful that it would be counterproductive to use a short shot in the face of such an opponent.
After the baseball hits the bat, it may bounce off itself without waiting for the position to unload.
In fact, in the face of more than 150 kilometers of fast balls, only Sawamura Eijun was the only one who could successfully unload the force.
Others don't dare to pat their chests and say 100% in what direction they can hit this kind of ball accurately.
In this way, instead of risking a short shot, Kuramochi should hit the ball accurately and use the way of hitting and running to see if there is a chance to run to first base.
With an idea in mind, Kuramochi pulled out his stance, and his eyes looked intently at Hongo on the pitcher's hill.
To his great surprise, Hongo's movements were very indifferent, and he didn't seem to be anxious at all.
The teammate was obviously injured, and when this guy was in the rest area, he looked impatient.
Why is it that after arriving on the court, the performance is so flat?
"The current first-grade elementary school brother is really not cute."
Realizing that he couldn't figure out Hongo's thoughts, Kuramochi felt frustrated.
"Boom!"
Just in the moment of Kuramori's chagrin, Hongo's ball was thrown.
The small white balls flew into the catcher's gloves almost against the edge of the inner corner.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
Faced with a pitch that looked like a precision scalpel, Kuramochi couldn't shoot at all.
It's horrible!
After seeing Hongo's pitching with his own eyes, Kuramochi immediately felt a chill.
Standing in the strike zone, Masamune Hongo's ball speed is far faster than he imagined! This is not the most terrifying, even if Hongo's pitching is indeed fast, but it is not to the extent that it surpasses Akira Shitani.
Where Hongo is really stronger than Shizuya is in possession.
He was able to throw such a fast ball into the corner with precision!
The sideline in the inner corner, which makes Kuramochi unable to swing the stick even if he wants to.
Even if he has done fastball adaptation training before, the timing of that kind of ball can be controlled, and the angle can also be controlled.
Like Hongo, expand the pitching direction to the entire good ball zone.
There is nothing that can be done about it!
There's no way he'll play that kind of corner.
Looking up at the ball speed display on the electronic board, Kuramochi was even more shocked.
152 km!
If I go, the first ball will soar at such a high speed, is the opponent too fierce?
Originally, when I read the information, I felt that Hongo's ball speed was still a little slower than that of Xiaolai Tani.
But looking at it now, where is it slow? It's almost the same as Descending Gu Xiao.
"I'm in trouble!"
With Kurachi's acumen, he immediately sensed that his situation was not good.
His hunch was right, and the next thing turned out exactly as he expected.
In the second ball, Hongo took another inside corner.
In the face of this exact same pitch as before, Kuramochi was still powerless.
The ball speed is too fast, and the ball path is tricky.
Kurachi simply couldn't swing his bat.
"Damn!"
This gap in strength made Kuramoto's heart very dissatisfied. But there was nothing to be done.
It's like how these players from Troll Otomaki High School feel when they face Sawamura.
"Boom!"
Don't think too much, Hongo Masamune's third goal came.
In the face of this ball, Kurachi, who had been chased, had no choice but to swing his stick hard.
The bat was swung out, and naturally nothing was touched.
The white ball hit the ground and bounced into Rinji's glove.
"Out!"
