Chapter 39: Calm and Unyielding (Fifth Update)
With a score of 3:0, Qingdao almost sealed the victory after the attack in the fourth game.
However, their opponent was very tenacious and did not choose to give in, but continued to fight with Qingdao.
In the first half of the fifth inning, Mingchuan attacked.
Yang Sunsin, as an opponent, stood in front of Sawamura for the second time.
At this point, he has a very heavy task and wants to score a hit no matter what.
Three points behind,With the means of Mingchuan Academy,The opportunity to counterattack is very limited,And the best opportunity is undoubtedly nowγ
Yang Sunsin went to base first, and then from base, interfering with Sawamura's pitching.
Only in this way,Mingchuan School Park has a glimmer of lifeγ
"Get out!"
Yang Sunsin groaned and walked into the strike zone.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura's mind recalls the conversation he had just had with Chris.
"Whether it's strikeouts or defense, it's all out, and there's no need to strike out the opponent."
Sawamura looked puzzled.
At this time, wouldn't the three strikes against Yang Sunsin be more able to hit Mingchuan's morale?
"Their morale has fallen to the bottom. If it's too aggressive, it may bottom out. Instead of that, it is better to relax and let them play, showing the comprehensive gap between us and them. β
This will hit them even more!
"And you're not a tri-strike pitcher yourself. Being overly obsessed with strikeouts is not good for your future development. β
This sentence was hidden in Chris's heart, and he didn't say it in the end.
Sawamura's pitching, because the opponent is really average, often wins strikeouts.
I have to say that the strikeout is very handsome, and it is easy for young people to go crazy about it.
But really, strikeouts aren't a good choice.
The most important thing in pitching is to get outs!
A great man once said that no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, only one that can catch a mouse is a good cat.
It's the same with pitchers pitching, whether it's strikeouts or relying on defense, as long as they can get the opponent out.
"Okay!"
After being reborn, Sawamura was indeed very obsessed with strikeouts because of his strength.
Because he has good ball control and many types of balls, strikeouts are like a daily routine, and there is no difficulty.
This kind of strength is still very pleasant.
Don't bother to design opponents, throw fishing balls and quirk balls.
You know, no matter how well you fish the ball and how well you throw the quirk ball, there will always be times when the horse misses the front hoof.
In contrast, strikeouts are much more robust!
However, since it was Master Chris's advice, Sawamura naturally would not refute it.
So this time he went up to the pitcher's mound, and instead of using tricky change balls as he had done in the past, he threw ordinary quirk balls - change.
"Ping!"
In the first inside corner, Yang Sunsin decisively swung the bat.
Sawamura rarely throws this kind of sweet ball, and Yang Sunsin, who is determined to play it, naturally has no reason not to play.
It's just that when the ball was close to his hand, there was a sudden change.
Kinky balls!
Yang Sunsin was shocked, but at this time, regret was useless.
He can only swing the bat with all his might, hoping that he can use brute force to sweep the ball away!
When the bat hits the ball, it bounces off the ground.
"Hip Hop~"
Kuramochi rushed out, caught the ball, and sent it to first base.
"Out!"
Sawamura only used one goal to block Yang Sunsin and knock him out.
When Yang Sunsin left the field, he glanced at Sawamura in shock.
Eijun Sawamura, change the rhythm!
I didn't expect that at this time, Sawamura could change his rhythm, which is incredible.
Return to the lounge area.
Superintendent Ogata, asked Yang Sun-sin with a solemn face.
"The ball just now?"
"It's a quirk ball!"
Not only this one, but every ball Sawamura threw after that was a quirk ball, and it was a quirk ball with a very large variation.
The players of Mingchuan School Park,Even if you look at it from the rest area,You can clearly see the ball fluttering in front of the hitter~
"Ping!"
"Out!"
"Ping!"
"Out!"
Five balls, Sawamura solved the game.
Akekawa's attempt to consume Sawamura's pitches was completely aborted.
Rest area of the Qingdao Road.
Ochiai smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect this to be so easy to use." β
Kataoka nodded: "This is Sawamura's Quirk Ball Evolution." Mingchuan is also an eye-opener! However, we were also forced to reveal a hole card. β
Cards?
Ochiai glanced at Kataoka in surprise.
What was this person talking about just now, can this also be regarded as Sawamura-san's hole card?
"It doesn't matter, the remaining opponents are only the three high schools of the city and Daocheng Industry, and the hole cards are enough!"
The game continues.
Sawamura used a quirk ball to grab, and he was stunned to throw a strong taste.
Mingchuan still can't see the hope of winning the score.
However, they are not discouraged.
Just follow Qingdao like that, and die.
The bottom half of the fifth inning.
After solving Sakai, he successfully won the number of outs from Kuramochi, and after Ryosuke Kominato came to base, he solved Jun Izashaki.
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
Yang Sunsin is equivalent to the upper line of the Qingdao Dao head-on, and he has not fallen behind.
In the stands.
"This guy is so strong!"
"Let's call Yang Sunsin."
"It's very powerful, and it can force Qingdao's line to this extent."
β¦β¦
In the first half of the sixth inning, Sawamura easily won three outs with a quirk ball.
The difference in the score is only three points, and Kataoka, who does not want to expose too much strength in front of the city's top three high, does not plan to change pitchers.
In the second half of the sixth game, he faced the core line of Qingdao.
Formed to hit a hit.
There are people on first base, but no one is on base.
At this time, Sawamura went to the strike zone, and was once again tricked by Yang Sunsin, playing an infield rebound ball and failing to get on base.
"Damn~"
Sawamura returned to the rest area with an indignant look on his face.
It's rare for him to be so deflated.
"Fifth baseman, third baseman, Masuko."
As soon as the game is out, there is someone on first base.
Masuko was tricked and hit a high flying ball.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
At this time, Yang Sunsin's pitching has begun to show amazing fighting spirit.
Let the beaters of Qingdao also be powerless.
Two outs, one base.
It was Chris's turn, and Chris hit a hit.
Two outs, one or two bases.
Hakushu hit a three-base flat fly ball and was killed.
The two main players of the second year, Kuramochi and Hakushu, in this game, were all-round dumb.
Three blows, all in vain.
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
On the base bag of Qingdao Road, there are two remnants left.
"It's tenacious!"
Such a Mingchuan School Park,It's stupid to look at the little friends of Qingdao.γ
Under the leadership of Yang Sunsin, Mingchuan School Park is like an indomitable fire, which can never be extinguished.
In the first half of the seventh inning, Mingchuan School Park attacked.
Sawamura is another three-out count.
So far, Sawamura has pitched seven innings and has not allowed any of Akikawa's hitters to get on base.
Including Yang Sunsin.
The performance on the pitcher's mound is as steady as Tarzan.
On the other side, in the second half of the seventh inning, before Qingdao began to attack.
Kataoka instructed Kominato Haruichi to do a practice swinging the bat.
The boss of Qingdao, Annai can't help but make a move.
3:0 If Mingchuan doesn't collapse, then the score will continue to expand.
I don't believe that Mingchuan School Park is really iron.γ
