Sawamura Eijun walked up to the pitcher's mound and took the baseball from Kawakami's hands.

Kenshi Kawakami's hands are light, as if he is not holding a baseball, but a piece of fragile glass.

"Over to you!"

There was a bit of unwillingness in his tone, so he quit like this, and it was probably difficult to accept it on anyone. Although Kenshi Kawakami is one year older than Sawamura. But at the end of the day, he's also an ordinary teenager.

Sawamura didn't say anything, because he knew that no matter what he said, Kawakami wouldn't listen to it now.

And from his standpoint, he can't say anything now.

He just nodded very solemnly.

"Don't worry!"

Back in the rest area, the coaches and teammates around him all looked at Kawakami and stopped.

Maybe even they don't know what to say, everything that happened just now, it is natural to replace Kawakami. But Kawakami, what's wrong?

As far as pitching goes, his performance just now wasn't perfect, but it wasn't bad.

He played his game consistently.

The only reasonable explanation for the current situation is that he is not the ace pitcher on the team.

Therefore, at the critical moment of deciding the victory or defeat of the game, it will never be entrusted to him.

This is the task of the ace pitcher.

What did Kawakami think in his heart? Nobody knows.

He just sat on the rest chair and clenched his fists unwillingly.

I don't know if he feels unfair about such treatment, or if he feels unwilling to be satisfied with his lack of strength.

"It's not your fault just now, it's that I underestimated my opponent too much. If you are unwilling, try to improve your strength, so that the next time you hand over the pitcher mound to you, this situation will not occur. ”

Superintendent Kataoka said flatly.

He didn't say many comforting words, just took the blame entirely on him. However, a message was also revealed, and he would give Kawakami another chance later.

Hearing this, Kawakami stood up violently.

"Yes!"

Kawakami was able to recover, and the friends around him also felt a lot more relaxed.

Coach Ochiai glanced at Superintendent Kataoka with admiration.

That's amazing!

Just a few words immediately made a contestant change his mentality. This is not something that ordinary coaches can do, and it must be a teacher who can only have the ability.

"If you want to improve your strength, you might as well keep your eyes open and see how Sawamura Eijun does it."

Luohe touched his mustache and muttered.

"Yes!"

Kawakami, who had regained his spirits, tried his best to widen his eyes and watched the duel in the center of the court with great clarity.

One is out, and there is someone on second base.

In the position of the catcher, Yukiichi also called a timeout. He rushed up to the pitcher's mound to discuss countermeasures with Sawamura Eisumun.

Well?

With Sawamura's pitching strength, do you need to discuss any countermeasures in advance?

Kawakami was puzzled.

As if he could see through his thoughts, Coach Ochiai's eyes showed a little smugness, and he explained very well as a teacher.

"The purpose of Miyuki's pause is not to really discuss any countermeasures, he is to interrupt the momentum of Uhisamori's previous high school. Haven't you noticed that the original tsunami-like cheering sound at the scene is gone! ”

Kawakami woke up like a dream.

He hadn't suffered a lot before, as if everyone around him was expecting Ukumori High School to win.

The overwhelming pressure made it impossible for him to concentrate on pitching. The reason why his ball will be hit continuously has something to do with this.

When Sawamura first came on the field, this cheering sound was still very loud.

After a while, as Sawamura walked up the pitcher's hill, Miyuki shouted a timeout, and the loud cheering sound around him disappeared.

Even the atmosphere on the field has changed!

It's as if the Great Demon King himself has a different aura.

The real situation is not like this, according to Coach Ochiai, all this was calculated by Miyuki and Sawamura, and the reason why they did it was to disrupt the momentum of Ukumori High School.

And it looks like they should have succeeded!

It's not at all!

is completely different from himself, and after playing the game, Sawamura is like a magnet with incomparably huge suction power, attracting everything around him.

Let everything around you revolve around him.

"This guy! Does he need to do that with his strength? ”

Kawakami couldn't help but mutter.

In his opinion, there is no need to do this with Sawamura Eisun's pitching, and he can rely on his own changing ball to force strikeouts against the opponent.

Ochiai shook his head: "If you think so, then you are underestimating Sawamura and them." Goshawk fights rabbit, you need to use all your strength. There is no turning back in high school baseball, and as long as Sawamura-san stands on the pitcher mound, he will control everything around him in the palm of his hand. It is precisely because he has done a good job in these details that his performance is so perfect! It had even formed his instincts, and he didn't do it consciously. If you are also aiming for aces, you must first do what you can do well, and do all of them well. ”

Kawakami nodded thoughtfully.

This is a bit complicated, but it's not hard to understand. Kawakami feels like he's benefited a lot.

The new coach, on the level of coaching technique, is impeccable.

Behind, Tsukitani Xiao also nodded.

It was as if he understood something, too.

"You don't have to listen to that, just concentrate on your ball control."

Superintendent Kataoka doesn't know how his eyes grow, and he can see the things behind his head clearly.

Seeing that Gu Xiao nodded, he immediately reprimanded coldly.

Just kidding, Xiaogu didn't even learn to climb, what did she learn to run?

Isn't that leading people crookedly?

Pitcher mound.

Miyuki and Sawamura, but not as Ochiai imagined, did not exchange any information.

This pause was indeed intended to disrupt Ukumori High School, but at the same time, Miyuki did want to exchange information with Sawamura.

"From the very beginning, the other party has been setting a trap for me and taking us into the ditch. They've been stealing the base without brains before, but just now they used a strapping to run......"

"What do you want to say?"

Sawamura asked bluntly.

"The staff officers on the other side are very good and have studied us very thoroughly, and their previous plans have been very successful, and have left a fixed pattern in the minds of me and most of the fielders around me. So as soon as they take action, we subconsciously think what the other person is going to do. At the beginning, of course, everyone was not misled, but several times in a row, everyone subconsciously thought so. ”

"Now that you've got a lookout, isn't that easy to solve?"

"But I don't know which ones are their habits and weaknesses, and which ones they deliberately set up for us."

"So what?"

"It's very simple, don't give them a chance to hit the ball, just aim for strikeouts."

"You don't want me to unlock the new Orb of Change, do you?"

"That's not it, Ukumori is not qualified. But with you as an opponent, they won't be able to catch the swing in the first round. ”

"The problem is that there are runners in the bag right now, and even if I want to go head-to-head with someone, they may not want to do that."

"The guy on the base, of course, you have to leave it to your ace to deal with it yourself."

"Okay, you cow!"

In just a few seconds, the two of them had already exchanged all the things that should be communicated, and even assigned their own tasks.

Next, it's time to tackle your opponents.
