Chapter 35: The Prototype of the Demon King
Fengxiang Longyi guessed that Sawamura used a short shot to block the ball path, which was naturally very wrong. But to be honest, it's really no wonder that he is. After all, the information he got couldn't be compared with the brick family beasts in the big league who had specialized in studying Zecun.
One wrong step, one wrong step!
Since Fengxiang Long Yi guessed the wrong reason why Sawamura used a short fight first, then Nagano Metropolitan will inevitably have to suffer.
Originally, with Zecun's current physical condition, it was still a little difficult to play the ball of 135 kilometers in Mali. But now that Mari has fixed the ball path for himself, it won't be so troublesome for Nasawa Village to play.
"Ping!"
The same high bad ball, Sawamura decisively swung the bat and hit the ball out.
After the ball was hit, Sawamura smoothly advanced to first base, and Feng Xiang also followed to third base, and after reaching third base, Feng Xiang Okuichi did not stop his steps, but continued to run forward.
Except for the first few sticks, Akagi does not have the ability to attack at all.
Instead of waiting for them to work miracles, Feng Xiang took the risk himself.
Feng Xiang made up his mind and ran directly to home run. At this time, the players of Nagano Metropolitan High School also passed the ball back. Although Sawamura's short fight is good, it is not without weaknesses. And the biggest weakness of his blow is that he can't hit the ball far.
You know, if Sawamura swings the bat with all his might, he can use his soft body, but he can whip the ball out of a home run in the first grade. But after compressing his swing stance, his striking power is very small.
Fortunately, in this ball, Mari deliberately wanted to throw a high ball, and did not wave his arms with all his strength, showing all his ball power. Sawamura played well, and the ball flew out against the right side of the first baseman.
The first baseman jumped with all his might and couldn't reach the ball, so he had to hope for the outfielders behind him.
The ball lands on the outfield, and the outfielder bounces off the ball for the first time after it hits the ground, stopping the ball. At this time, Feng Xiang had already run through third base and ran in the direction of home plate!
"Don't look down on people!"
The outfielder, with a twinkle in his eyes, then went all out to pass the ball back to home plate, in the catcher's position.
His return pass was slightly off, almost a metre off. But at this time, Feng Xiang had just crossed the third base, and in terms of timing, it was no problem for them to kill Feng Xiang.
"Smack!"
Tohara received the ball, and at this time Feng Xiang was still seven or eight meters away from home plate. Tuyuan bit his teeth, and his heart was ruthless.
I'm here to touch you!
Letting Feng Xiang go to base before was caused by his and Mari's weak mistakes. Make up for your own mistakes. With such an idea, Tsuchihara was determined to wave his gloves at Feng Xiang, who rushed over.
He wants to kill Feng Xiang!
Feng Xiang Aoyi also realized this, at this time, he played a slippery head, and he deliberately bypassed the oncoming gloves during the run. Slid past the back of home plate.
Slip base!
Such a move caught the plump Tsuchihara off guard. Although he is not as fat as Kenrai Yamaguchi, his body is also strong, and such a tall person will inevitably have poor physical flexibility.
By the time he reacted, Feng Xiang's hand had already touched the bag one step ahead.
"Safety, score !!!"
With a total score of 1:0, Akagi Middle School attacked in the first game and won the score.
This kind of progress in the game directly forced Nagano Metropolitan High School into a dead end. According to their original plan, Sawamura's physical strength was consumed first, and then they found a way to surprise Akagi in the final moments of the game.
Now let's not talk about whether the big surprise can succeed or not, they must find a way to recover the score first.
The trust that these little guys from Akagi Middle School have in Sawamura is diamond-level. As long as they are ahead, that is almost a guaranteed victory. With such a mentality, they will only be more relaxed and play more freely.
Speaking of professional points, the competition has entered the rhythm of Akagi Middle School.
If you play at someone else's pace, can you still win?
Nagano Metropolitan is now facing such an embarrassment.
In the second half of the first game, Nagano Metropolitan High School attacked.
In the first round of attack, Fengxiang Long Yi's instructions to the players were to play freely and seize the opportunity as much as possible. Don't miss a single hit and a possible score. With a solid offensive rhythm, look for holes in Akagi.
As a result, it is naturally more tragic.
Although Sawamura's ball speed is only 130 kilometers, he has precise ball control and even a float in the middle. Not to mention anything else, the increased ball speed of Glossy Village made the friends of Nagano Metropolitan a little unbearable.
"Good ball, good ball, good ball, strikeout!"
"Good ball, good ball, good ball, strikeout!!"
After two strikeouts in a row, it was the turn of the blow to Nagano Tsutari's third bat, Mari.
As a national star player, Mari is outstanding in both striking and pitching. Not to mention in Nagano, even in the whole country, Mari is an outstanding fighter.
Otherwise, he would not have been selected as a substitute pitcher and relied on strikes to be the main player in the legendary team at the beginning.
To put it mildly, although Mari is Nagano's third batter, his striking strength will definitely not be worse than their fourth baton Tohara, or even a little smarter.
Such an opponent makes Sawamura still a little interested. Although it doesn't feel as strong as the Matsumoto Kenen I met before, there are all kinds of beaters, and it's not a good fighter who wields a stick.
But it's just a little interesting!
The current Akagi, after a year and a half of training, is no longer the grassroots team it was at the beginning. With such teammates guarded, it is really not a matter for Sawamura to want to take Mari.
"Good shot!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
In the blink of an eye, the number of balls has reached two good and zero bad. (Before two good balls, the ball is counted as a good ball outside of bounds.) )
On the strike zone, Mari's face involuntarily began to seep cold sweat out.
The inner corners, then the outer corners!
Although it is not in the corner, Sawamura's possession of the ball is already terrible. Add to that his speed and power, and staggered pitching from inside and outside corners......
Needless to say, the ball path that floats up, just a simple ordinary straight ball, Sawamura is now very terrifying.
From Mari's standpoint, he didn't even have the confidence to hit Sawamura's straight ball.
Just when he was stunned, Sawamura's third goal came!
"Whoosh!"
The small white balls whistled like laser light.
In the strike zone, Mari swung his stick with an ugly face.
But until he finished swinging the bat, baseball hadn't come yet!
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
"Strikeout!!
The hemp inside is like dead ashes, and the ball just now is a speed ball!
He had forgotten before that Sawamura didn't change the ball, but he rarely shot before.
Mari, including the Nagano Metropolitan High School friends who watched the battle, all had ugly faces to death.
They seem to have no way to do it in Nazawa Village.
