Chapter 25: Sawamura's Problem (Asking for Subscription)
Before the start of the game, Tenryuji got the starting list of Akagi Middle School.
Seeing the list arrangement, all the friends of Tianlongsi Middle School were dumbfounded. This tactic is arranged, as if Akagi had secretly watched the Tenryu Temple hold a meeting before.
It's so unexpected!
Everyone looked at their coach without saying a word, afraid that the old man would faint to death in anger as soon as he got angry.
Feiyi Hirota, who was originally thought by the old man that he would definitely not play before the second half of the game, was placed in the starting position. And he is still the first baseman, and the person who replaced him is also very interesting, not the right fielder Yamazaki, whose strength is weak in Akagi, but Oda Motoo, whose strength is faintly ranked third in Akagi.
What the hell is this?
Akagi's arrangement made the players of Tenryu Temple look stupid directly.
"Mr. Yamano?"
The assistant coach of Tianlong Temple glanced at his teacher worriedly. Akagi made a surprise move, but he wasn't too worried, what he was worried about was the temper of the old man in the mountains.
The old man was short-tempered and admitted to death.
Akagi's indiscriminate attack is likely to make the old man think that the other party does not respect the game, or disrespects Tenryuji.
As soon as the little old man's temper came up, he might just start scolding.
This is the final of the Kanto Convention, and there are thirteen live TV stations alone. There are also broadcasts, webcasts. The number of people waiting to watch the game now is said to be 10 million.
If this old man scolds directly, Tianlong Temple is estimated to enjoy the treatment of Ze Village in the past two days.
However, Sawamura is famous, and everyone falls under Sawamura's amazing pitching talent. They Tianlong Temple, it doesn't have to be what it is.
"What a trickster? Bravado! ”
Hirata calmly analyzed.
"With Akagi's current lineup, if you want to take advantage of Hirota's blow, you can completely let Hirota go to the right field, where the pressure on the defense is low. How is it possible to get him to such an important guard position as first base? Therefore, Akagi should have made up his mind to bluff and let Hirota hit in the first round, with dates or not, he will hit three strokes first, and after the fight, he will be replaced immediately. ”
His analysis was recognized by a group of bald heads.
"You've guessed everything, wouldn't that guy from Sawamura think of it?"
Catcher Hattori shook his head and analyzed: "Based on Akagi's current lineup, it is speculated that after Oda and Feng Xiang graduate, the person who will take their place should be the first-year catcher Jun Matsumoto, and the eighty percent who replaces Oda is Hirota Feiyi." Sawamura is not an ordinary captain, he is also the founder and coach of the baseball team of Akagi Middle School, will he not train Hirota? ”
"Then you won't replace Oda, right? Is this too suspicious? ”
Hirata was still a little suspicious.
Nanami Haruka stood up at this time: "You may have misunderstood one thing, Oda was not originally the first baseman, but was adjusted to the first baseman position after entering Akagi. He was originally a universal defensive substitute when he was a small baseman. Almost any position in the infield. ”
Hattori nodded: "This is reasonable, it seems that Sawamura wants to do the opposite, they changed their strategy in this game, and when they have the opportunity, they will let Oda replace Hirota as a surprise soldier." ”
The three giants of Tenryu Temple nodded to each other, believing that they had fully understood Sawamura's sinister intentions.
"It's old, it's old!"
The old man who didn't speak and looked ugly smiled bitterly and stood up.
"Don't guess, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, no matter what Akagi plans, Oda will never replace Sawamura and Fengxiang, so what we have to do still hasn't changed."
At this time, Yamano really felt old.
Just now, he was a little overwhelmed by Sawamura's inexplicable arrangement. Hirata, Hattori, and Nanami Haruka said everything, he thought about it all, but the more he thought about it, the more confused people became.
Here, there are two key choices involved, and these two choices are, to put it bluntly, a problem.
The question is whether Oda will return to first base!
It is impossible to abandon Oda, and the question is whether Oda will return to first base or replace another position.
If Oda returns to first base, then Sawamura's idea is very simple, that is, to hold back and let Hirota play the first round, and then replace him after the game. If Oda doesn't return to first base, it means that the game has begun, and Hirota will become Akagi's main first baseman.
Will Hirota play one round of pulldown, or will he play three rounds.
It's even about how he will fight himself, and whether Haruka Nanami needs to go all out against Hirota.
If Hirota leaves in one round, then Nanami Haruka will go all out to deal with him, of course, no problem. But if Hirota is a three-round blow, then the person who Nanami Haruka needs to go all out to deal with will have to add one.
In the case that there are already three people, Sawamura, Fengxiang, and Oda, even if it is Yamaguchi, Nanami needs to be distracted to deal with it, and the others Nanami Haruka can't be dealt with casually. At this time, you have to go all out to deal with Hirota, and Nanami's physical exertion is a big problem.
Faced with this situation, what needs to be done is a trade-off. Adjust the objects that Nanami Haruka needs to deal with all his strength to Sawamura, Fengxiang, and Hirota, or raise Hirota's level to the level of Yamaguchi.
Sawamura's speeding straight balls and Carter straight balls cannot be used indefinitely, and there is also a limit on the number of balls on Haruka Nanami's high-angle curveballs.
He couldn't use the change ball against everyone in Akagi. If that's the case, even if Haruka Nanami can survive until the end of the seven-game game, it is estimated that the lamp will run out.
There is no one in Akagi who can replace Sawamura, and there is no one in Tenryuji Temple who can replace Nanami Haruka. It's not that their bench pitcher hasn't played against Akagi, and he simply doesn't have the strength to suppress Akagi's line.
"When people get old, it's easy to think more."
Hiromitsu Yamano, a little emotional.
In the match against Akagi, he thought too much and planned for too long. But when it came to the end, he realized that his preparations were like a joke.
As soon as people change, he is blind.
"Hmph, interesting little ghost, the old man wants to see what else you can conjure."
"Smack!"
The old man Yamano poked his finger at Akagi's starting list.
"Second stick, shortstop, cool wind!"
Disturbed by Akagi, he was negligent.
Akagi changed the strike, not only the first bat, but also the second baton Yamaguchi was adjusted to the fifth bat, and the original five bats Nakagawa Shin was adjusted to six bats, and the original six bats were adjusted to the second bat.
What Oda really wants to replace should be the second stick of Feng Liang.
In this way, the first baton Hirota, the second baton Oda Honsheng, the third baton Fengxiang, and the fourth baton Sawamura Eijun.
The four of them are precisely the four strongest fighters in Akagi.
The old man felt that his eyes suddenly opened up.
"Akagi Middle School's competition against Tenryuji Middle School has officially begun!"
In the first half of the first game, Akagi attacked.
"First baseman, first baseman, Hirota-san."
