Chapter 17: The Champion's Style (Tribute to Xiao Han)

In the quarterfinals of the Kanto Convention, Akagi competed in Yokozuna.

There was a very strange scene at the scene.

In the second half of the seventh inning, Akagi attacked.

If you know a little bit about baseball, it's not hard to see that this is almost the key matchup of this game. If Akagi can score points, then it doesn't matter, this game is a complete victory for Akagi.

If Akagi can't get the points, the rest of the game will be very dangerous for Akagi.

The crazy counterattack of the giant Yokozuna is not something that anyone can handle.

Before the start of the game.

Yokozuna's overseer, Takeda, repeatedly admonished his disciples.

"Calm down, calm down! Patience, patience!! Don't be carried away by the audience, now is the time for us to be patient, as long as we survive this game, the balance of victory will definitely tilt in our favor. ”

At this time, Takeda also noticed the core point of the game.

Sawamura's pitching is very cool, but because he uses more strikeouts, he has a lot of pitches, and he is now seventy!

How many balls can a thirteen-year-old middle school student shoot at a speed of 13 balls?

Coupled with the sharp change of Sawamura's pitching, the consumption of his fingers and wrists must be not small. As long as the game drags on, nine rounds, at most twelve rounds, Sawamura will definitely be completely dragged to death.

And as long as he survives Akagi's three or four batters in this game, the other beaters in Akagi are nothing to Yokozuna.

In other words, the game was added to nine innings, which was equivalent to zero risk for Yokozuna.

It's different with Dansawa Village, the number of pitches is approaching 100, can you still maintain such good pitches?

Don't underestimate Yokozuna's lower line, they are also very good. can 100% hit the ball out of the pitching machine for 135 kilometers, and this kind of strength is not at the same level as Akagi's friends at all.

If Sawamura is weak, then he will definitely suffer from Yokozuna's onslaught.

This kind of game situation should be very attractive to the audience.

But the very strange thing is that the current audience is not in the mood to pay attention to this, and they have no idea how to win or lose the game.

Everyone in the room was discussing.

Who is Sawamura?

The Great Demon King!

In such an atmosphere, the duel between Feng Xiang and Yokozuna began.

"Ping!"

On the first ball, Feng Xiang decisively swung his bat and flew the ball out of bounds.

"Out of bounds!"

In the strike zone, Feng Xiang's face was a little heavy.

Just now, bad balls!

He had an ominous feeling that he was being led by the nose by the other party's casting. Or rather, the opponent has expected him to swing the bat on the first ball.

At this time, Feng Xiang Aoyi's ears suddenly remembered what his coach said.

"Your character, too impulsive. Although on the surface it seems to be calmer than anyone else, when it comes to blowing, it will not wait at all. Every move is reflected in your own actions, and others only need to look at your preparations to know what you want to do. If you meet a real master like this, you are simply looking for death. ”

It's better to be still than to be still!

How could Feng Xiang understand these words at that time?

Even now, he doesn't quite understand.

"Anyway, I've hit it here. Now I can only insist on being myself! ”

"Come on, I'm going to swing even if it's all bad balls. There is no ball that can't be hit, only a hitter who can't hit the ball. ”

In my mind, the words of the young stick coach came out of my mind.

Feng Xiang stared intently at Uesugi on the pitcher's mound.

"Fish, hooked!"

In the position of the catcher, a sneer appeared at the corner of Yamanaka's mouth.

In the face of the bad ball, Feng Xiang still has undiminished momentum.

It's good, it's really good. Since you have to hit all your balls, then I'll let you play.

Second Ball: Bad Ball on the Outside of the Corner!

Bad ball inside the inside corner of the first ball, bad ball outside the outside corner of the second ball.

In this way, one mile and one away, it will make the hitter feel that his good ball belt is incomparably wide.

"Ping!"

Feng Xiang swung the bat twice and sent the ball out of bounds.

The number of balls is two good, and there are zero bad. Feng Xiang was chased!

In the strike zone, Feng Xiang was extremely determined.

No matter what ball it is, he doesn't plan to give up swinging. Even if it is a throw-in, he will choose to continue to entangle.

This kind of firm character, dealing with the average casting partner, will indeed put a lot of pressure on the other party.

For the average pitcher, his balls are hit continuously, even if the balls don't fly into bounds, and the pressure he is under is not small.

But it's a pity that such a blow is not enough to deal with the throwing and fishing partners of the national hegemon.

Catcher Yamanaka was still very stable at this time, and pitcher Misian also calmly played his strength.

Waiting for the blow, Sawamura's face began to become solemn.

The seventeen strikeouts just now didn't seem to have had any impact on Yokozuna's casting partner. They are still calmly exerting their strength.

"Cut, please look like little ghosts at this time."

Sawamura complained helplessly.

At this time, Feng Xiang in the strike zone entered a very wonderful state.

In his eyes, everything around him seemed to disappear, no spectators, no referees, even the guards were blurred.

Yes, it's just the pitcher in front of you, and the white ball in the pitcher's hand.

Come on, come on! No matter what kind of ball it is, I'm going to hit it.

In the catcher position, Yamanaka calmly typed a code.

Lower center, low ball in the outside corner!

On the pitcher's mound, Uesugi nodded silently.

"Whoosh!"

A small white ball, shot towards home plate.

On the strike zone, Feng Xiang's eyes lit up suddenly.

It's coming, it's coming!

"Hit out !!"

"Buzz!"

With a low sound of swinging the stick, Feng Xiang swung the stick and hit the ball out.

"Ping!"

The white baseball seems to have crossed the barriers of time and space, bringing everything around it to a standstill.

It's so comfortable!

The bat was gone, and Feng Xiang's face unconsciously brought a smile.

He felt like he was swinging his baton and entering a new realm.

In the catcher position, Yamanaka's eyes suddenly narrowed.

The ball that should have fallen to the first class was actually pulled by Feng Xiang to the guerrilla's garrison area, this left and right, the gap is too big!

If this ball goes through, it's a long hit!

"Stop it!"

Yamanaka shouted.

It's a pity that the ball is so fast, compared to this ball, Yokozuna's field seems to be doing slow motion.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky. Compared to his slow-motion companions, he moves much faster.

It was precisely because of his knockdown that he successfully stopped Feng Xiang's inevitable goal.

After catching the ball, the fallen figure rolls on the ground, stands up, and sends the ball to first base.

"Out!"

Feng Xiang was a slight difference and failed to get on base.

Akagi's enemy was never Uesugi, one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings, but the entire Yokozuna High School baseball team.

The champions may not necessarily be the strongest, but they definitely have solid quality.

As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.

There are still two outs left until the end of the seventh inning. There are not many opportunities left for Akagi!
