Chapter 35: The Moment That Determines Victory or Defeat
When the score on the field expanded to 3:0, the vast majority of the audience at the scene believed that there was no suspense in this game. Although they also thought that the possibility of suspense in this game was very small, no matter how small, there was always something.
But now, I'm afraid that there is no hope even the faintest.
Of course, this is only the opinion of the vast majority of the audience at the scene.
Although the Seido High School players were always confident of winning this match, they never thought that the game was over.
There is a saying in the Seido High School baseball team that spreads very widely.
There is no way to verify who said this sentence first. Maybe it's a well-known anime's hot-blooded lines.
But the players on the Seido High School baseball team all agree with this statement.
"There are two decisive moments in the game, one is when the pitcher gets the last out. The other is that the opponent has abandoned the game......"
The players of Jonway High School were hit very hard when they lost the third point.
But their players didn't give up on the game entirely.
Their eyes burned with the desire to fight.
"It is worthy of being a team that has been able to reach the quarterfinals of the round of 16 in Higashi-Tokyo all year round, and the will to fight is really much stronger than that of ordinary teams."
Before going on the strike, Yukiichi also deliberately discussed it with Sawamura Eijun.
In front of you, you have the opportunity to crush your opponent in one fell swoop.
Whether it can be caught or not will directly affect the progress of Qingdao High School in the spring competition.
Now Qingdao High School, if you want to keep a low profile, it is impossible to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
As the absolute overlord of the previous two editions of Koshien in summer and in spring.
Qingdao High School can be said to be a thorn in the side of all teams. Any team with some strength will even directly treat Qingdao High School as the first imaginary enemy to practice.
Under such circumstances, the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team have no way out.
They can only choose to be tough to the end.
No matter who the opponent is? Sweep them all.
In such a situation, the stronger the strength of Qingdao High School, the greater the help it will be for them.
If any team can wrestle with Qingdao High School, then the players of Qingdao High School will be tired to death.
The gradual approach is no longer suitable for Qingdao.
They're not the team that is ready to go back and play.
Rather, it is the national hegemon who has already dominated the whole country.
There is only one way to fight.
That is to rely on strong strength to sweep away all the enemies in front of you.
This is the third round of the Tokyo Spring Contest and the first competition at Seido High School.
In order to show their kingly posture, of course they need a good start!
With such determination, Sawamura Eijun, when he stood in the strike zone, he felt like a terrifying Shura.
All of his eyes are scarlet, ready to deliver the deadliest blow to his opponent.
The situation is one out and there is someone on second base.
In the stands.
Tuoma looked at the scene in front of him with great excitement and muttered.
"It's time to decide the game!"
He also doesn't think that with just a three-point lead, Seido High School has won the game.
But he also thinks that this game of Jonway High School should be driven into the abyss.
The score is still secondary, and the key is the hitter after that.
Now there are runners on the baseball, and it's the turn of the third and fourth bats in the core.
That is, Sawamura Eijun and Miyuki Kazuya.
These two are the absolute top two beaters in Qingdao High School.
The score in front of him is completely trivial, and Tuoma believes that the score of the two sides will definitely not stop at this number.
"In this situation, you should be able to consider escorting!"
Asada muttered from the side.
"No!"
Wang Xi and You Jingxun shook their heads almost at the same time, and said in unison.
Suddenly, he was accosted by the two big names in this freshman, which made Asada very nervous.
But the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and didn't say anything more.
Of course, it is impossible to escape.
The current Jonway High School is like a beast trapped in a cage.
It's a matter of time before they're finished.
In this case, the options for the beast are very limited.
It can only fight to the death the moment the hunter opens the cage and prepares to kill it.
If it is lucky enough to bite the hunter who opens the cage to death, it may still have a chance to survive.
Otherwise, death will slowly approach it.
The longer the time drags on, the more dangerous the situation of the trapped beast in the cage becomes.
Food and water can be accomplices to the hunters.
Jonway High School's current situation is actually similar.
Although the previous game did not reveal much, the difference in strength between the two sides was clear at a glance. If this rhythm continues, it is only a matter of time before Seido High School wins.
At this time, if the casting partner of Jonway High School is unwilling to accept this ending.
They are bound to struggle.
Only then will they be able to reverse.
The opportunity for Yongyuan High School to struggle is to deal with Sawamura Eijun and Miyuki Kazuya head-on.
If the two of them can be solved cleanly, it will inevitably cause a great deterrent to the entire line of Qingdao High School.
Only in this way can Jonway High School continue to survive.
Otherwise, it was only a matter of time before they fell.
Of course, it is not without danger to go head-to-head with Sawamura and Miyuki.
One of the biggest risks is that we have not been able to solve Sawamura and Miyuki.
In this way, Jonway High School will lose hits and scores.
But Jonway High School, which is already 3:0 behind, will it care about this?
It's unlikely that they will win anyway, so they might as well go all out.
This is a typical mentality of not biting if there are too many lice, and not worrying about debts too much.
Yongyuan High School, which has such determination, is really the same as Wang Xi and Youjing Xun guessed.
chose to face off against Sawamura Eijun.
Very good!
Their choice, Sawamura Eijun is not surprised.
But any player with some ability will never be willing to be a supporting role. They're going to find a way to win the game.
Jonway High School's ace didn't look very impressive, and he lost three points in three games.
But his strength is actually not bad, and in the first round of the showdown, most of the beaters in Qingdao High School were helpless against him.
A pitcher with such strength is in such a situation.
It's strange that the players of Jonway High School don't face each other head-on.
Sawamura is very confident in this.
Therefore, when he saw the white ball flying over, there was no surprise in the slightest.
"Whoosh!"
Although the opponent intends to face each other head-on, he is still very cunning in throwing the ball.
He started out with all bad balls, and it was the kind of outside corner.
With such a ball, of course, Sawamura Eijun will not swing a bat.
He waited patiently, waiting for the other balls to come by.
Then, almost in the exact same position, the ball flew over again.
Both goals in a row are bad balls from the outside corner.
In the face of such two balls, Sawamura Eijun naturally did not swing the bat, he was still waiting patiently.
For the current Sawamura, even if he is escorted by the four bads, it is not unacceptable, anyway, there is still Miyuki behind him.
The most important thing is to show strong strength and completely defeat the psychological defense of Jonway High School's casting partner.
Come on!
Come on!!
Sawamura played this role of himself very well, and the whole person exuded endless deterrence.
It's scary!
That terrifying feeling was like substance, squeezing on the casting partner of Jonway High School.
This situation made them very uncomfortable, but they had to face it.
After two consecutive trials, the catcher of Jonway High School also gave up.
The opponent in front of them is simply not something they can defeat by bluffing.
It won't be solved at all with bad balls.
"There's no way, let's face it head-on!"
Fortunately, they have long been mentally prepared for this, and they are not panicked when they deal with it.
After two bad balls in a row from the outside corner, this time the catcher put the glove in the inside corner.
A wide range of one inside and one outside.
It must be able to interfere with Sawamura's selection to a certain extent.
"Whoosh!"
At this time, the ace pitcher of Jonway High School, Haoji, was still very sharp in pitching.
It was as if each ball was pouring all his strength and soul into it.
The ball is frighteningly fast.
Here it comes!
On the strike zone, Sawamura Eijun's eyes lit up.
After two bad balls, finally a good ball appeared!
Ball path, inside corner!
And not too sharp a change.
"It's good to come!"
With a loud shout in his heart, he decisively swung his bat.
"Ping!"
The bat hit the white ball with precision, and the white ball escaped like a rabbit.
After the ball was hit, it landed beautifully in the gap in the guard and flew out.
"Good!"
"Great!!"
It was a clean hit.
Although Sawamura did not run to second base with the help of this ball, he just stayed at first base.
However, Kominato, who was originally on second base, ran back to home plate at the right time to help the team score a point.
The aggregate score became 4:0.
This is also the reason why the audience will shout.
Such a striking effect, although not as pleasing to the eye as a home run.
But continuous hits can also stimulate people's adrenaline.
They watched the duel in front of them in a daze, and their hearts were surging.
It's so handsome!
It is worthy of the Great Demon King Zecun.
For these people's praise, Sawamura Eijun completely ignored it.
He lowered his head and looked at his palm.
There was a slight tingling sensation left on the palm of the hand.
The ball didn't hit the center of the ball, otherwise the ball would have flown out.
Missed!
Sawamura Eijun glanced thoughtfully at Koji on the pitcher mound.
This guy isn't as simple as it seems.
After a round of devastation by the Qingdao High School beaters.
Far from weakening the strength of the other party in the slightest, it has a posture of getting stronger and stronger the more they fight.
If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, you can get rid of this guy in one go.
The rest of the situation, Qingdao High School may not be able to deal with it really well.
If you let such a player throw out of shape, it will be even more troublesome.
Miyuki thought of it with Sawamura Eijun.
