Chapter 32: Three Strikes Like Rain (Part 3)

On the strike zone, Nanami stood there as steadily as Mount Tai.

There is no need to speak, just looking at the momentum is enough to make people look sideways.

Some people are born to be jealous. As long as he stands there, that's the center of attention.

Haruka Nanami is such a person, although he is not very outstanding in appearance, he can only be regarded as ordinary. But this man with an ordinary appearance has an amazing talent. If it weren't for him, Nagano Tsutari would not have been able to make it all the way to the national finals.

National runner-up! (Primary)

National Semi-Final! (Last year)

These names, before the appearance of Haruka Nanami, had never had a dime to do with Nagano Prefecture.

It was because of his presence that Nagano's golden generation was born.

Without Sawamura, Haruka Nanami would definitely be the first person in Nagano Prefecture and the pride of Nagano for the next decade or two.

But all this changed with the appearance of Sawamura.

The ball speed is on par with Nanami's, and although the ball path is not as varied as Nanami's, he has several tricky straight balls.

If it's just that his strength is higher than Nanami's, the most terrifying thing is that Sawamura is still good-looking. Whether it's from a man's standpoint or a woman's standpoint, I have to admit that Sawamura is a handsome guy.

Appearance is justice!

Since Sawamura and Nanami Haruka faced off, the two have been evenly matched. Nagano fans didn't hesitate to abandon their original little prince Haruka Nanami and start chasing Sawamura.

Who made Sawamura's appearance more able to show his hands.

From Haruka Nanami's standpoint, Sawamura is definitely his enemy. It was the appearance of Sawamura that took away everything that belonged to him.

Fortunately, the guy has a pure nature, and he didn't make a grudge against Sawamura because of this.

Although there is no enmity, there is still a sense of competition.

Haruka Nanami, who is now standing on the opposite side of Sawamura, has shown his determination not to back down.

Even at this moment, the Great Demon King of Sawamura has become famous and purple.

When Nanami Haruka stood on the opposite side of Sawamura, he still showed the bearing of not falling into the wind.

Sawamura once felt the bearing of a top fighter from Haruka Nanami, and this is no joke. Haruka Nanami does have the potential to become a top fighter!

Faced with such an opponent, Sawamura couldn't help but start getting serious.

The small white ball in his hand kept circling in Sawamura's palm, and finally froze in one position.

With his hands firmly gripping the baseball, Sawamura stepped out in one stride, and as his center of gravity shifted, Sawamura's arm flung out like a whip.

Two fingers were firmly hooked on the white ball, giving the ball one last of its thrust.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball shoots, like a rocket, constantly breaking through the barrier of space.

In the strike zone, Nanami Haruka's face became cautious.

It's fast, faster than he ever imagined.

This is the legendary speeding straight ball!

Well done!

Because of his psychological preparation, Nanami Haruka was not caught off guard, he bit the right time and calmly swung his bat.

As soon as the bat was shot, the small white ball appeared in the good ball belt as if it teleported, breaking through Nanami Haruka's bat and burrowing into Feng Xiang's open glove.

"Smack!"

There was a crisp sound, and the audience fell silent.

"Good shot!"

Nanami Haruka's swing of the baton was still too late.

In the strike zone, Sawamura sorted out his bat, did not look back at Feng Xiang, but stared at Sawamura firmly, and kept replaying the ball just now in his mind.

The ball, faster than he had just imagined!

He hadn't swung the bat more than halfway through when the ball went in.

THE BALL SPEED DISPLAY IS 131KM!

But Nanami Haruka knew that if he swung the baton at a pace of one hundred and thirty-one kilometers, he might not have time to make a bat.

One hundred and thirty-five, and even higher.

You have to swing the stick at this pace to catch up.

On the pitcher's hill, Sawamura's face was not easy either.

Although he let Nanami Haruka's swing miss, but just now, Nanami Haruka's swing was a little faster than before!

"He knows I'm going to throw a straight ball at speed?"

Is it intuition or what the eyes see?

Sawamura doesn't know, but no matter which one is, it won't be easy. Hitting depends on feeling, and hitters with a good sense of the ball are naturally difficult to deal with. Of course, the beater who can see the difference in ball speed with the eye is even more difficult to deal with.

That means that the beater has dynamic vision that is far beyond the average person.

Need to give it a try!

Having made up his mind, Sawamura threw a speedball in the second ball.

"Ping!"

This ball was aimed at by Nanami Haruka and flew directly out of bounds.

"Out of bounds!"

The speeding straight ball and the variable speed ball are fast and slow, and Sawamura doesn't believe it when it comes to saying that Nanami Haruka caught up with his instincts.

This kid has dynamic vision that makes people jealous.

Sawamura complained about his psychological imbalance, but this did not affect him to solve Nanami.

"Whoosh!"

After leading by two good goals, Sawamura made a third shot.

In the strike zone, Nanami was waiting for the ball to arrive.

Here it comes!

Seeing the way of the ball, Nanami Haruka decisively swung his bat.

"Buzz!"

A low swing of the stick, mixed with incomparably powerful power.

But Sawamura's ball disappeared in front of the bat.

"Smack!"

"Good shot, strikeout!"

Nanami Haruka's face was grim, knowing that he had been fooled.

Sawamura's last ball is an up-float ball that can deceive the player's sight!

The upper floating ball, even if the hitter has dynamic vision, looks no different from an ordinary straight ball.

"The tenth!"

At the end of the second half of the fourth inning, Sawamura scored his tenth strikeout of the match.

In the first half of the fifth inning, Nanami Haruka easily won three outs.

In the bottom half of the fifth inning, Sawamura faced Hirata, the fourth batter of Tenryuji, and after two straight balls, he struck out the opponent with a speedball triple.

At the end of the game, Sawamura's strikeouts rose to thirteen.

In the first half of the sixth inning, Haruka Nanami also seemed to be stimulated.

Three strikes out nine sticks Yamazaki, one stick Oda and a second stick Cool.

In the second half of the sixth inning, Sawamura raised his strikeouts to sixteen with a tooth for a tooth!

In this way, he is only one short of his own record of 17 strikeouts in a single game.

There's one last round left in the game!

It seems that Sawamura is close to equaling or even surpassing his own record.

By the way, Haruka Nanami has won a lot of strikeouts in this game, and there have been eleven so far.

In the first half of the seventh inning, Akagi Middle School attacked.

"The third stick, catcher, Feng Xiang."

In the Akagi cowshed.

"It's better to get another point."

Sawamura muttered softly to Feng Xiang.

So far, it looks like Tenryuji has lost. But the strange thing is that until now, the players of Tianlong Temple still have no intention of giving up the game.

was pressed so badly, and he didn't give up.

If you want to say that there are no ghosts in Tianlong Temple, Nazawa Village will definitely not believe it.

"I know!"

Feng Xiang nodded, looking at Nanami Haruka on the pitcher's hill, his eyes flashing with high fighting spirit.

Judging by the current situation, Haruka Nanami should not avoid a showdown with him and Sawamura.

"Then let me see, how much strength you have as a proud son of the sky!"
