Chapter 43: Too Violent! 1 (5th Shift)
Gunma Prefecture Sea Breeze Stadium.
In the stands, 36,000 spectator seats are full.
Not only the players from thousands of colleges and universities, but they have never seen such a grand occasion. Even the overlord of Gunma Prefecture, the players of Hakuryu High School, had never seen such a grand occasion.
If it's just a lot of people, it's not a big deal. With such a large stadium, the difference between 20,000 and 30,000 people is not very big.
The most important thing is the state of the fans.
It's like a sports game, it's like those pop stars and idols are in a concert.
All the fans were in a crazy state, brandishing everything they could wield in their hands, and shouting Sawamura's name hoarsely.
Led by the Brotherhood of Red Hearts and the Praetorian Guard of the Demon King.
More than 30,000 people in the stadium seem to have become fans of Eijun Sawamura.
"It's not a loss, it's the Great Demon King! The popularity is really extraordinary. ”
Beidalu's eyes were red with jealousy.
It's not like they haven't played against Qingdao High School before. I have the impression that although Sawamura Eijun's popularity is very high, it is definitely not as high as it is now.
It's no longer called popular, it's called popularity.
"In the official fan rankings, Sawamura Eijun is 79th in the country. It's not just a baseball player, it's all entertainment stars, AV actresses, all of them. ”
Ranked 79th in the country.
This is how popular Eijun Sawamura is now in the island nation.
It has been three full years since the name of the Great Demon King was called.
Sawamura Eijun is not the kind of superstar who becomes famous overnight, and his current fame is all based on his own hard work.
Any player who is still playing baseball has to admit this.
"I wonder if this guy will really become a great emperor superstar one day."
Sasaki, who was pinching the stopwatch, said with emotion.
Wang Ye next to him snorted coldly, but did not say anything to refute.
In this jubilant atmosphere, the players of Seido High School began to take up the field.
In today's game, the starters of Qingdao High School are their starting Nos. 1 to 9.
They are pitcher Sawamura, catcher Miyuki, first baseman Maezoen, second baseman Kominato, third baseman Kanamaru, shortstop Kuramochi, left fielder Wang Xi, Nakamidfielder Tojo, and right fielder Hakushu.
Really go all out, and do your best.
If the opponent is a team from another region, Seido High School will not be so cautious.
After all, they still have that kind of wealthy feelings.
Not all opponents deserve their all.
However, the practice game played in Gunma Prefecture before left a deep impression on Seido High School.
As long as you think of a team in Gunma Prefecture that loses the selection, they all have that kind of strength. They don't dare to have any carelessness about thousands of colleges and universities in any way.
Before you play.
Yukiichi even deliberately discussed with Sawamura Eijun, which strategy should be adopted?
With Sawamura's ball speed improving, he doesn't have as much precision on the ball as he used to be. There is a certain risk in using the words of the horse at the beginning.
Sawamura Eijun himself is very persistent.
"The opponent is likely to hide his strength, and at this time he must crush the opponent with momentum. The impression of our invincibility is deeply embedded in their minds. This way it doesn't take too much effort! ”
The Kanto Convention will be played four matches from the round of 16 to the finals.
However, the competition time is only from the 18th to the 24th.
It's only six days when it's full.
In the later stages, it's basically one game a day.
In such a tense rhythm of the game, timely adjustment of the team's state has become the top priority.
If you can end the game early, it can also allow the players to rest earlier.
"It's good!!"
Originally, Miyuki thought that until Sawamura Eijun adjusted, he was not going to let him use the kind of change ball pitching for the purpose of strikeouts.
It's not that I'm afraid of being picked by an opponent like Chino, it's mainly that I'm afraid of being looked at by those onlookers.
If you let them know, Sawamura Eijun is now in a bottleneck period.
It is estimated that they can wake up laughing when they dream......
In order not to make the enemy too happy, he wanted to keep this secret no matter what he wanted at this time.
But now Sawamura Eijun insists, and he doesn't want to go against the will of the ace.
In the end, I can only hope that Yu Zecun can enter the state early and not show any flaws.
I also hope that those guys who are watching the game can be a little stupid.
Before going on the field, Miyuki Kazuya's heart was full of concerns.
It's not that I'm afraid that there will be no way to solve the opponent in front of me. The main thing is that I am afraid of leaving some flaws and being seen by those guys who are scouting.
But as soon as the game really started, Yu Xingyi knew that he was unfounded.
Before the competition, the players from thousands of colleges and universities were obviously in good shape.
It looks quite imposing, and it has the momentum to break the boat.
But in the real game, facing the tsunami-like sound of the mountains in the stands.
The first batter of thousands of colleges and universities was directly stunned.
It's not that the body is trembling or anything, and the other party is not so dish.
It's just that the other party's body is a little stiff.
Ordinary people may not see any flaws, but who is Yukiichi?
As the best candidate for the country's No. 1 catcher, he can also be regarded as half a psychologist.
A subtle gesture from the other party can make him interpret the most true thoughts in the other party's heart.
The beater is nervous!
And it's not ordinary mental tension, the other party is even physically nervous.
Miyuki, who saw through this scene, immediately gave Sawamura Eijun a code.
Straight Ball!!
In this situation, if you want to solve the opponent, you don't need any change ball at all.
A few tricky straight balls will do.
Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, after nodding slightly, decisively threw the ball.
He never doubted Miyuki's judgment.
Not to mention, Sawamura Eijun himself also felt the other party's nervousness.
Because of the distance, his observation was certainly not as careful as that of Yukiichi.
However, his feeling was clear, and the other party's movements were noticeably sluggish.
This is a big no-no in baseball.
One step behind, one step behind. In the duel of throwing, the hitter only needs to be slightly negligent.
The result he faced was inevitably doomed.
"Whoosh!!"
The small white ball, like a sharp arrow, goes straight into the inner corner of the hitter.
The hitter in the strike zone can clearly feel that he is not in shape.
Seeing the white ball flying over, he could only reluctantly wave the bat in his hand to meet the battle.
But when he reacted, he swung the bat out of his hand.
The little white ball had already passed through the good ball belt and landed in Miyuki's glove.
"Smack!!"
"Good Ball !!!"
Just a good goal, the scene was jubilant.
It wasn't a good shot at all, it was a mediocre number of outs.
