Chapter 56: The 'Great Demon King' Appears (Part 2)
"In the next inning, Sawamura will go to the pitcher's hill, don't throw some unseemly balls out."
Kataoka looked at Sawamura and said.
Well?
Sawamura looked up at Kataoka for some reason.
Didn't you say he wouldn't be allowed to play in this game?
"Don't be too stinky, boy."
Kuramochi appeared behind Sawamura at some point, followed by a hard side kick.
"It hurts~"
Sawamura touched his ass and looked at Kuramochi with resentment, not understanding that he had provoked him there.
Kuramochi: Little ghost, wouldn't you be too forgetful? Have you forgotten how you mocked me before?
Sawamura knows there, Kataoka's thoughts.
Originally, Kataoka really wanted to keep Sawamura as a secret weapon, but the current game situation made him very hesitant. The players are fighting hard to win, and as an overseer, how can he sit idly by?
At that time, Kataoka was hesitant to change people, but he was still very hesitant to change Gu Xiao or Sawamura.
It wasn't until the voices that cheered for Sawamura appeared in Kataoka's ears that he made a decision.
Even if he wanted to keep Sawamura, what was the use? Sawamura's participation in Qingdao, after this game, can't be hidden at all. The more he hid, the more curious he became.
Rather than that, it's better to show Sawamura in a dignified manner.
The championship is won by strength, not by playing those small tricks, this is Kataoka's nature. Before, because of the burden of Koshien, he did something contrary to his own principles to a certain extent.
Now that I think about it, Kataoka himself feels ashamed.
Fortunately, no one will know about his thoughts.
And now, it's still too late to start everything from scratch.
Insert a sentence here, in the original book, after the collapse of Tanba, Tsukitani Xiao came on the field and became famous in a fight. This result, in fact, everyone in Qingdao was very incredulous, including Kataoka himself.
At that time, the reason why he was replaced by Gu Xiao was just to break the jar and break it, so that Gu Xiao could feel the atmosphere of the competition between the giants.
Now, Arisawa Village is here, and Kataoka, who really wants to win, will certainly not send the unstable Shibuyani Akira to play.
In the second half of the sixth inning, Qingdao attacked.
"Seventh batter, left fielder, Sawamura-san."
After Sawamura went to the strike zone, the decibel level in the audience immediately increased by twenty.
"Come on!"
"It's up to you, Great Demon King."
In this cheering, Bai Yu was also looking at Zecun seriously.
So far, they have played Sawamura twice, and Sawamura has hit a hit. Even if Yi Neng didn't use the ball as a weapon, it was rare to be hit continuously like this.
There are not many such beaters, let alone such first-year novices.
Bai Yu didn't see the jerkiness of a first-year freshman from Sawamura.
In addition to his tender appearance, Sawamura is much older and spicier than them in the third grade in terms of performance.
In the face of such an opponent, the small trick can only be self-destruction, just decide the winner with dignity!
With a plan in mind, Bai Yu decisively gave Yi Neng a secret signal.
After receiving the code, Yi Neng nodded and threw his first ball.
On the strike zone, Sawamura remained silent and waited for the ball to come.
Here comes the ball!
The ball path is an outside corner, a low-angle slider.
Identifying the way of the ball, Sawamura was not verbose, and directly swung the bat.
"Ping!"
The white ball, which was targeted by Sawamura for the gap in the outfield, was hit out.
Sawamura played extremely comfortably today, and there is really no better opponent for him than Yi Neng. His pitching happened to be completely restrained by Sawamura.
It's a pity that he didn't score such a good goal.
Silver Castle, who was in the right field, faced the ball that Sawamura pulled above him, kept running and retreating, and caught the ball on the run.
Sawamura, who ran to first base, was dumbfounded!
Catching the ball in high-speed movement, even in professional baseball, can be selected for the guard collection.
Silver City!
This guy also exudes the smell of professionalism. The only thing he lacks is the lack of striking strength, and if the striking strength can keep up, then if he participates in the draft, Sawamura is estimated to be very marketable.
"High school baseball is really different, a basket of monsters."
Sawamura sighed and returned to the cowshed.
The eighth stick Tanba was replaced by Itai Ding, but unfortunately Itai's blow was not very strong, and it was solved after being tricked by Bai Yu.
Two outs, no one on base.
Hit the turn of the ninth baton of Hakushu!
"Ping!"
Hakushu beautifully hit the ball over the guerrilla's head, and it is said that the rear of the guerrilla should be in the gap.
But the small village in the north of Yokohama seems to have been prepared, and it is waiting in the rear of the guerrillas.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
Yokohama's excellent defense made the scene once again fall into their rhythm.
Six rounds of the game ended, the score was 5:3!
Qingdao for the first time, officially behind. (Refers to the score at the end of the first game, the previous time behind, because Qingdao is the second half of the attack, so it can't be counted.) )
In the first half of the seventh inning, Yokohama Minato Kita attacked.
"Aodo changed the position of the player, the left fielder Sawamura climbed the pitcher's hill, and Itai retreated to the left field."
At the beginning of the game, Aodo made a substitution, and Sawamura replaced Itai and stood on the pitcher's hill.
The moment they saw Sawamura on the field, everyone on the scene had a feeling that something big was about to happen.
In the cowshed of the north of the Yokohama port.
The overseer of Yokohama looked at the cowshed on the opposite side of Aodo with a cold face.
It's finally getting started!
"Boys, don't be ashamed of the name of Minato Kita in Yokohama, give me a good greeting to this newcomer, and let him know the cruelty of high school baseball."
"Oh!"
The Yokohama Minato North players, who were pressed by the Qingdao Road, had long been gearing up, and their eyes were staring at Sawamura, as if they were staring not at one person, but at a delicious meal.
Such a provocative gaze was completely ignored by Sawamura.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura took a deep breath and spit it out.
"Or is it the air on the pitcher's mound that works best for me."
Muttering in a low voice, Sawamura spread his arms and shouted loudly around him.
"I'll let them keep fighting, and the guards behind me will leave it to everyone!"
At this moment, on the pitcher's hill, Sawamura's figure continued to magnify.
Many of the spectators in the stands have watched the video of the Sawamura game. I was deeply impressed by Sawamura and Akagi's momentum like a grand league.
Now, seeing it with my own eyes is a different feeling.
"Come on!"
"We'll watch over you."
"Deal with the beaters."
In the audience, there was a gossip response.
On the field, the friends of Qingdao High School looked up at these spectators in disbelief.
As a group of qualified melon-eating people, how can you still grab lines?
This is obviously their line, okay?
However, since Sawamura stood on the pitcher's hill, their hearts have indeed settled down a lot.
Especially the third-grade masters, they have all really fought with Sawamura, and they have a clearer understanding of Sawamura's strength.
In the catcher position, Miyuki's face also changed, and he became eager to try.
Come on, big star, shoot the first ball of your high school career, the official game!
