Chapter 49: The Followers of the 'Demon King' (Part 1)
"Qingdao!"
"Sawamura !!"
In the stands in all directions, the sound of cheering for Aomichi and Sawamura resounded. This even included many fans and spectators who originally supported Yokohama Minatohoku, and when they found out that Sawamura was in the Seido lineup, they immediately changed their flag and supported Seido.
In the cowshed of Qingdao Road.
Minister Ota opened his mouth wide in surprise and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
"Sawamura-san, is it so appealing?"
Although he also knew that Sawamura was famous in middle school, Ota always believed that it would not be until Aomichi began to make achievements that those fans of Sawamura would form a scale.
But this is just a battle at the Kwantung Conference, isn't it too enthusiastic?
Moreover, Qingdao did not do any publicity beforehand.
"It's like a big star!"
Chris's eyes were full of relief, and he was very happy for Sawamura.
In the corner of the stands.
Rei Takashima very arrogantly pushed down the small glasses on the bridge of his nose.
What does it mean to strike first? Here it is. If she hadn't contacted Sawamura in advance, Qingdao High School might have picked up such a 'big leak'. (Big drain, an antique term that means a priceless treasure bought at the reserve price.) )
In fact, Takashima Rei knew that even if she didn't promise so many conditions and didn't contact in advance, Sawamura's entry into Qingdao was also ironclad.
Of course, not everyone in Qingdao is happy. At the very least, the children are very unhappy!
"What!"
He looked very 'vicious' at Sawamura, who was interacting with the audience and fans, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Damn little ghost, too arrogant, when he comes back, you must tell him how the junior brother should respect the senior.
The commentary is passionate and generous, and it is a pee-inducing narration of the glory created by Sawamura in his middle school days, and many people who didn't care much about middle school baseball before suddenly realized.
It turns out that Sawamura is such an amazing player.
Twice dominate the country!
The best pitcher in the country in the same class!
A terrifying existence known as the 'Great Demon King'.
Not to mention anything else, just the nickname of the 'Great Demon King' is enjoyable to listen to.
"But why isn't he in the pitcher's mound, but in the outfield?"
At this time, some viewers raised questions.
The audience next to him, who thought he was an expert, immediately made up the possibilities.
"No matter how good Sawamura is in middle school, this is high school after all, and his strength as a pitcher is not mature, especially in a place like Seido. It still needs to be polished! ”
"Let him get acquainted with the atmosphere of the high school game in the outfielder position first, and if he has the opportunity, he will definitely go to the pitcher's mound."
"Sawamura's blow is also super terrifying, maybe Superintendent Kataoka is reluctant to put him on the cold bench."
Everyone, you really guessed a lot of things.
Of course, some people guess that Qingdao wants Sawamura to be a secret weapon. But not many people agree with this statement.
Anyway, it's high school. I have just entered the first grade, and I have never heard of it being used as an ace. (The earliest, usually in the fall of the first grade.) There are very few people who can serve as trump cards in the summer. In the spring, there is the strength to compete for the trump card, and among the giants, it has never appeared. )
But anyway, Sawamura is on fire!
As soon as he came on the field, he detonated the whole audience. And it wasn't his throws that blew up the field, it was his blows.
The noise is over, and the game still has to continue.
Sawamura is back on home plate, but Seichi's offense isn't over yet.
Because the catcher directly chose to kill Sawamura, he lost the opportunity to stop Hakushu from going to the base. When Sawamura returned to home plate, the situation on the field became one out and there were people on first base.
Seido still has a chance to attack.
"First bat, shortstop, Kuramochi-san!"
At this time, Kuramachi was in the strike zone.
When there were people on the base, it was the turn of Seido High School's upper line to play the line, which made the players in Yokohama Minato very passive.
"Hee-ha~"
Kuramochi smiled strangely as he peeked at his own cowshed and waited for Kataoka's instructions.
In the cowshed, Kataoka, of course, didn't want to let go of such an offensive opportunity. But the next two beaters made it a little difficult for him.
As soon as he was out, the next two beaters were Kuramochi and Ryosuke Kominato.
If Ryosuke Kominato is a strong hit, Kataoka may be ruthless at this time and let Kuramochi send Hakushu to second base. Second base is the equivalent of getting into the scoring circle, and it only takes a good hit to score.
But Ryosuke Kominato is not. In this way, even if the warehouse is guaranteed to Hakushu, it doesn't make much sense!
Two outs, two on second base. The chances of Ryosuke Kominato being sent back to Hakushu directly are not high, and he still has to rely on the third baton Jun Izashaki.
This requires two hits in a row, against Kohama Minatokita, and the probability of two consecutive hits is much smaller than a one-hitter tiebreaker.
In desperation, Kataoka gave Kuramochi a code and asked him to watch and fight.
The probability of Kuramochi and Kominato hitting consecutive hits is not lower than the probability of Kominato and Usashiki Jun hitting in a row. That way, there's no need to waste an out!
Kuramochi nodded, a wicked smile on his lips.
Since I'm allowed to fight at will, then I'm welcome.
Here, Yi Neng threw the ball, and Kuramochi decisively swung the baton to attack.
"Ping!"
At the moment of Kuramachi's blow, Hakushu also followed and ran to second base.
Without any discussion, the two directly executed the tactics of fighting and running.
After the baseball was played, Kuramochi ran to first base like a cheetah.
It's just that the ball he hit, which didn't land well, landed in front of the third baseman.
In the position of the catcher, a sharp glint flashed in Bai Yu's eyes.
"Pass second base, you can double kill!"
The third baseman catches the ball, passes to second base, and Hakushu is out. Waiting for the second base of Norimura (that is, the guy with the same name as the little angel), when he wanted to pass the first base, Kuramochi was already on base.
Two outs, one base.
Kurachi's speed is so fast, even if he hits a frontal rebound ball on third base, and when you pass back to second base, there may still be a chance to block him?
"Damn!"
One false step will make a great difference!
If Hakushu had run ahead of schedule just now, he might have doubled on base!
Kuramochi thought fiercely. (Actually, it wouldn't have been too late for Yokohama's third baseman to block him directly.) )
"Second baseman, second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato."
Faced with the situation that there were people on first base, Ryosuke Kominato didn't have too good tactics, so he could only hit head-on. Kuramochi wanted to steal the base, but with Ineng's garrison experience, he didn't have much of a chance.
The pitcher's containment is full of points, and the catcher White Feather is a well-known strong arm.
The risk of stealing bases is too high, and a single hit is likely to be wasted.
After weighing it, Kuramota reluctantly gave up the plan to steal the base.
At this time, Ryosuke Kominato, using his superb swinging skills, hit a hit between first and second base.
After the ball passed through the guard, Ryosuke Kominato went up to first base on his own, Kuramoto reached second base, and found that the outfielder had not picked up the ball yet, and ran to third base without stopping.
"Pass third base!"
In the catcher's position, Yokohama's Hakuha shouted to the outfielder to pass directly to third base.
The outfielder also saw Kuramochi's action and immediately passed to third base.
It's just that the distance is a little far, and when the third baseman catches the ball, there is a little deviation, and his foot does not step on the base bag.
At this time, I looked for the position holding, and the warehouse holder was already like a cheetah, lurking on the third base side and slipping the base.
"Look for death!"
Yokohama's third baseman immediately touched Kuramochi with his gloves, but unfortunately he was one step slower than Kuramochi, and Kuramochi's hand touched the base bag early.
"Safety!"
The continuous offensive like a raging wave opened up the situation for Qingdao.
The situation became, two outs, one or three bases someone!
