Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Art of Attacking

The change balls that Sawamura pondered in his previous life were nine out of nine hard balls. There are not many of them that can be used with soft balls, otherwise Sawamura would not have been until now, when playing against others, only straight balls, floating balls and variable speed balls are used.

Not to mention pure straight balls, floating balls and speed balls are all ways that can only be used as surprise soldiers. If you use them as the main ball, it is tantamount to looking for death.

Sawamura's float ball is a wrist press to increase the spin of the baseball. It's okay to throw this kind of ball more than ten or twenty times, once this kind of ball is used as the main ball, whether the opponent can get used to it quickly Regardless of whether Sawamura's own wrist can't stand it in the first place. Throwing a ball with a wrist press is already a great burden on the wrist, and throwing a ball for 130 kilometers in such a posture is even more burdensome.

The number of balls thrown is too much, and there is no need to wait for the game to end, and Sawamura will be wasted.

As for the speed ball, there is no physical burden. But this kind of ball is like magic, the speed ball is mixed with a straight ball, which will make the hitter at a loss. But once you throw a variable speed ball continuously, this slow ball path will definitely be seen through and aimed. For example, if the trick is debunked, what you are performing is no longer a magic trick, but a joke.

That's why Sawamura will be uncomfortable, and the other party obviously knows that it is impossible for Sawamura not to throw a straight ball, so he will formulate this countermeasure.

I didn't think of any good ideas for a while, so Sawamura immediately decided to win this game first. Although it is impossible for him not to shoot straight balls in a game, if it is only this game, he can still use the floating ball and the speed ball to support it.

Facing Mari, Sawamura, who was already leading by two good goals, threw his third goal.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball, like a laser light, flew from Sawamura's hand towards the good ball belt.

In the striking zone, Mari bent down and held the bat short as if he had been prepared. At this time, he chose to strike.

"Ping!"

The white ball is touched and rolls directly in front of the pitcher.

Sawamura took a few steps forward, picked up the ball, and sent it to first base.

"Out!"

There is no suspense, and the beater Mari is blocked and out. However, their runner on first base has quietly lurked on second base.

This is a typical strike escort.

The tactics are clear at a glance, but what is the purpose of this set of tactics? Sawamura was a little confused.

It's already been out just now, and now it's another out. Next, as long as he can solve the problem head-on, he can end this game steadily. Nagano Metropolitan at this time, what is the purpose of sending people to second base?

You must know that Akagi didn't have a chance to win the double kill just now, but Sawamura wanted to use the safest way to solve the opponent, so he didn't pass second base first. If he passes second base first, Akagi has a fifty or sixty percent chance of winning a double kill. Of course, there is also a forty or fifty percent chance that both runners and hitters will hit base.

Akagi now has an absolute advantage, there is no need to take risks. As long as you make your advantage like a snowball, the bigger it gets, sooner or later the opponent will be ruined, and there is really no need to take risks.

There's no reason to take the risk in Akagi, and there's no reason to take the risk in Nagano Metropolitan to be honest. A solid hit was very helpful in advancing their line. In seven innings, if they want the fourth batter to be in the strike zone for the third time, they need at least a solid hit. The move just now is likely to cost Nagano Tsutachi this hit.

Taking such a big risk and saying that Nagano Tsutachi had no intentions, Sawamura didn't believe it.

Thinking about it, he glanced at the cowshed of Nagano Metropolitan High School, especially the handsome figure who was well-dressed.

Fengxiang Long Yi!

What exactly this guy's plans are, Sawamura can't see through. This kind of impenetrable feeling is very annoying.

Flipping the baseball in his hand, Sawamura's gaze began to sink.

No matter what the other side is trying to do, their ultimate goal is nothing more than to use the runner on second base who has already made the scoring circle to score a point. To accomplish this, Tsuchihara will have to play long fights.

"If you can do it, you can try it!"

Knowing the opponent's ultimate goal and how they plan to do it, Sawamura doesn't care. From his point of view, just get rid of the beater.

"Whoosh!"

The white baseball was thrown, and Sawamura's shot was aimed at the center.

Since you want to fight, then I'll vote for you.

In the cowshed of Nagano Metropolitan Junior High School.

The corners of Feng Xiang Long Yi's mouth lifted a wicked smile.

The fish has taken the bait!

"Buzz!"

"Ping!"

The majestic swing of the stick directly knocked Sawamura's ball out. Sawamura's eyes widened, and he looked at the ball flying towards the outfield in disbelief, as if he had eaten a yellow lotus.

Just now, how did they know that they were throwing an up-and-down ball? Also, didn't they give up on the change ball......

Sawamura's question, no one answered.

The baseball landed in the right field, and by the time Oyamazaki picked up the ball, the runner on second base had already crossed third base and ran to home plate.

"Give it to me!"

It was really hard for him to have Oyamazaki pass the ball directly from the outfield to home plate. Sawamura took the initiative to step forward and act as a transit.

Oyamazaki is also obedient and throws the ball at Sawamura, who turns around and passes back to Okuichi Toyosho.

As soon as Feng Xiangao received the ball, he opened his gloves and was about to touch the runner of Nagano Metropolitan Circle, but he was one step slower after all.

"Safety!"

In the second half of the fourth inning, Nagano Tsutachi successfully recovered a point and tied the score.

This attack, in Akagi's case, was caused by a piece of bad luck. If it weren't for the irregular bounce, Nagano's second baseman would not have been able to hit base, let alone score back on home plate.

Of course, Sawamura doesn't think so.

Irregular bouncing, indeed a coincidence. But Nagano Tsutari's offense after that was not, such a continuous offensive, saying that they didn't see through their own matching, Sawamura didn't believe anything.

Not only has the code of the straight ball been seen through, but even the change ball has been seen through?

Sawamura shook his head intuitively, absolutely impossible!

On the baseball field, after more than ten years of crawling, Sawamura has so much experience. Although the code they are using now was proposed by Sawamura, it was not what he thought, but the coach in his previous life.

The catcher and pitcher each have half of the code, and the code is adjusted after each game. Although there are some rules, there is absolutely no possibility that straight balls and changing balls can be seen through at the same time.

None of the computer corps of the professional league have analyzed the code, how can Nagano Metropolitan see through it?

The opponent saw through the code of his straight ball, and Sawamura was not unacceptable. Sawamura's previous life was not a straight ball pitcher, but a change ball pitcher. The code of the straight ball is made up in this life, but the change ball is definitely not like this, and the code of the change ball was taught to him by the coach of the major leagues in Sawamura's previous life.

The ball that is absolutely impossible to see through has been seen through!

Why, exactly?

A big question mark in Sawamura's heart permeated his mind.
