Chapter 4: Survival Battle (3rd Shift for Xiao Han)

"Why don't you race!"

The data tested can only be seen as data. How much strength there really is depends on the performance in the game.

Sawamura knows this better than anyone. Otherwise, even if Sawamura tests all the tests, he will be able to choke how good he can perform.

"How do you compare?"

Among the new students, there are people who are eager to try.

"None of you are newbies, so I won't say much about the rules. You freshmen form a team, and our veterans form a team. The veteran team didn't have a pitcher other than me, so I had to play as well. However, we don't bully you either. I only shoot straight balls, and I limit the ball to the outside corner, and I don't use any variations and quirk balls. It doesn't matter if you score a point, as long as you can take a point from us, the rules will be reversed and you will have the final say. Veteran players, you want whoever you want, and you don't want whoever kicks him out of the team. That includes me, too. ”

Hearing Sawamura say this, the freshmen were still very excited, and their eyes were glowing red.

The Akagi Middle School baseball team, it seems that except for Sawamura, no one is irreplaceable.

I have to say that the temptation given by Sawamura is very tempting. Especially the freshman team has a full eight young stick backgrounds, and the most ideal result is that the eight of them form a team with Sawamura, and their strength should not be weaker than the original Akagi.

"What if we lose?"

Some people are eager to try, and naturally some people are pessimistic.

"That's okay, through the game, you get three points from strikeouts, and two points if the ball hits high or rolls the ball. One point will be deducted if you hit it out. Hitting a hit adds one point, a second base hit adds two points, a third base hit adds three points, and a home run goes straight to pass. The top and bottom are six points, get six points to pass in advance, and lose six points and eliminate directly. There are only six places in total. The second is guarding, which adds one point for successful guarding and subtracts one point for guarding mistakes. The catcher deducts one point for not catching the ball, and the strikeout and pitcher add one point each. A pitcher loses a point in a game, counts as a point, regardless of whether it is a goalkeeping error or not. Solving a hitter adds one point, and the same counts whether it is a strikeout or a defensive win. The rules are the same as those of other fielders, with six points to pass and negative six points to eliminate. ”

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

It's the first time they've heard of such simple and crude rules. However, it makes people's blood boil when they listen to it, and it feels like there must be countless possibilities waiting for you as long as you join the baseball team in the future.

Whoever breaks the unspoken rules of Nagano Prefecture should be. If you want to be a team that wants to make it to the whole country, that's how it should be.

Nineteen new arrivals, with three pitchers and two catchers. The other infielders and outfielders are mixed, with the first and third basemen counted as one position, the second baseman and shortstop counted as one position, and the outfielders were left alone.

Lots are drawn to determine the order of appearance, and then the game begins.

In the first half of the first game, the freshman team attacked.

"Good ball, good ball, good ball, strikeout."

"Strikeout!"

"Strikeout!!"

Without any suspense, Sawamura won three strikeouts very cleanly. In the first three bats, one person conceded three points, even if Sawamura limited his pitch to the outside corner, even if he only used a straight ball.

Sawamura's ball speed is also 13, which is still too fast for a teenager who has just entered middle school. Even if they are few players, most of the balls they are in contact with now are one hundred and one balls, and at most they will not exceed one hundred and two.

The ball is five kilometers faster, which is a completely different field. Sawamura and them are not opponents of the same level at all.

"Wakana, record!"

“OK!”

The recorder of the game was Wakana, and Sawamura nodded at her, and the two sides exchanged offense and defense.

At this time, the first pair of casting partners appeared.

"Let's get started."

Sawamura didn't even bother to ask their names, and after today, everyone shouldn't have much to do with each other.

"Guys, it's time to show our striking power."

Over the course of the year, everyone at Akagi Middle School has swung their bats tens of thousands of times. This amount of practice is enough to cause a qualitative change, and Sawamura is looking forward to their performance.

"There's no need to care about the opponent's defense, as long as you can actually hit the ball, the opponents are all little kids, and this is the time to test our blows."

Before going on the field, Sawamura smiled and cheered everyone on.

"Okay."

After practicing for so long, everyone is also waiting and seeing, eager to try.

At the beginning of the game, the first batter was replaced by Oda, who hit a very good hit and went to base easily.

Then Yamaguchi hit a second hit to send Oda to third base.

No one is out, there are people on first and third base.

In the third stick, it was Feng Xiang's turn, and Feng Xiang unceremoniously hit the ball out. Three-point home run!

The aggregate score is 3:0!

The pitcher conceded three points, and the rest of the guard easily didn't concede points. The farther back in the game, the more lively the minds of the freshmen became, and they finally realized how innocent their ideas were at the beginning.

Of the ten people who have not yet played, the vast majority are from the youth base. Despite their young age, these guys already see things thoroughly.

"It's really sinister, should I say that I deserve to be Senior Sawamura?"

"Under this set of rules, people are selfish, and it may be difficult for them to cooperate, let alone score."

"Don't talk nonsense, the score is a set given by Senior Sawamura, are you really drilling into it? A pitcher who can suppress the three kings on the line, so that they can't get four or five hits in total, and can't score two or three points, do you think we are really better than them? ”

Whether it's Tenryuji Temple or Nagano Metropolitan High School. Their players, all of them are from the Little League, and most of them are the main players of each Little League, and their backgrounds are stronger than the highly anticipated substitute pitcher Komaki and the stalwart Ozono Pu Chun.

But even if they have received two to three years of training in middle school baseball, they are still not Sawamura's opponents. What's more, it's them?

This game was already doomed from the start. It is a war in which whoever loses less points can stay in the end, a brutal battle for survival!

"The guy who came on first?"

One of them hesitated.

"The one who plays first has the best chance of elimination, and that's why we draw lots. And the draw was also tricked, and most of the really powerful players stayed. ”

I don't know, but I really don't know.

Among the ten people left, there are six people who are not good, including Dayuan Puchun and Xiaomu.

"Pitchers, out, substitutions. Outfielders, substitutions! ”

"First baseman, substitution!"

……

At the end of the first game, several people who couldn't go out of the game one after another. What surprised Sawamura was the catcher, who was not born as a young stick, but did the difficult task of being a catcher.

It can be seen that he is still very jerky as a catcher, and he can't do anything else except catch the ball.

But he aimed for this position!

The most interesting thing is that although the guy has not scored until now, he has not lost any points.
