The hot weather and strong opponents made Sawamura feel pressured.

Although Sawamura hasn't shot many shots in total until now, he still can't take it easy.

His pressure comes mainly from not being able to score!

Short play with stealing bases, is the biggest killer weapon of Akagi's attack, if there is no way to score points in this move, Akagi may be difficult to score points from Narumu Narumiya in this game.

This is not what worries Sawamura the most, what worries Sawamura the most is Feng Xiang, Feng Xiang has been broken by Cheng Gong Ming.

Now if the short play and the stealing base can't be used, Akagi's only chance to score is the tandem between Fengxiang and Sawamura. As for Oda and Yamaguchi, they will have a hard time hitting the ball unless the blind cat touches the dead mouse, let alone take the hit.

Feng Xiang lost the confidence to strike, and Sawamura was tantamount to a lonely palm.

You must know that being struck by three strikes is very devastating, let alone being struck three times in a row.

After being struck three times in a row, the hitter can still swing the baton unaffected. There may not be one such beater in a hundred. And in Akagi's team, there are seven or eight such fighters.

Except for Feng Xiang, none of the other beaters in Akagi were frightened by Narumiya's pitch.

Being striked out and not being able to hit the ball, these may have an impact on those great teams and beaters, but they definitely can't affect Akagi.

They're used to it!

From Nagano to the present, from Mari, Nanami Haruka, Uesugi, to Shintoyo's little black pitcher before, and now Narumi Narumiya......

It is impossible to count how many strikes they have been hit. In contrast, it is better to let them count how many times they have hit.

Let it blow and rain and let me stand still!

The only team with such ability in the country is the Akagi Middle School baseball team, and the friends have a bit of a 'pitcher abused me thousands of times, and I treat the pitcher like my first love'.

If it is a giant team, seeing a pitch like Cheng Gong Ming, it is inevitable to despair, and it is inevitable that the heart will sink to the bottom.

Akagi won't, they've been at the bottom of the valley and they've never come out.

Of course, this is not the case for everyone.

Feng Xiang and Sawamura could still feel the kind of pressure that Narumiya brought to them.

Fortunately, the Akagi Middle School baseball team will not collapse in an extremely unfavorable situation.

Now Sawamura's biggest headache is Feng Xiang, if this senior doesn't cheer up, relying on himself, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with Cheng Gongming.

Unless, he can get a home run!

Thinking of this, Sawamura's eyes narrowed dangerously.

No matter how slim his hopes of success were, he had to give it a try anyway.

Before the end of the game, he voluntarily gave up the fight, which was not Sawamura's style.

Of course, before it was Sawamura's turn to strike, he had to deal with the hitters of Xijing Middle School first.

Dealing with all the hitters, although it will not help Akagi to win, will keep the tie.

"As long as the pitcher doesn't drop points, the game won't be lost."

Determined, Sawamura threw his first shot.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball, like a ray of light, shot over the home plate.

In the strike zone, Qi Ping's lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes stared at the flying baseball without blinking.

At this time, his mind kept coming to mind what Coach Yamamoto had said to him before he came on the court.

"In this game, Sawamura used a soft and hard pitching rhythm for the first time. I have to say that his rhythm switch is really amazing, and he doesn't look like a second-grade middle school student at all. ”

Qi Ping didn't understand what his coach meant by saying this, so he could only stare at him curiously.

Yamamoto had a malicious smile on his face: "In other words, he won't go out of his way to strike out, we can still hit the ball!" When you see a ball like this, you're welcome, just like you usually practice, just hit the ball with all your might. ”

Just like you would if you were practicing!

Just like you usually practice!!

No matter how mythologized Sawamura's ball is, his ball speed is only a mere 130 kilometers after all. Such a ball, as long as it is solid, it is not impossible to sweep it out.

Relax your muscles and look closely, isn't this ball?

No!

"Ping!"

The ball that made Qi Ping's cold hair blow up was a speeding straight ball.

Subconsciously swallowing his saliva, Qi Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to look at Sawamura on the pitcher's hill with full attention.

"Good shot!"

The number of balls is good, but Sawamura's face is not easy at all.

Now that no one is out, no one is on base, and considering that the fifth baton is Narimiya, Sawamura actually wants to strike out Qipei.

But this guy doesn't swing the bat, and it's a nuisance.

Pitching is like a trick, and if the hitter is kept watching with his or her full attention, the hitter should quickly get used to the pitcher's ball.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a professional baseball, there are usually one-third of the pitchers in the team, and there are all types of pitchers in them, so I'll change them if they don't work. But student baseball is different. In a team, there is a powerful trump card, and he steals the fun.

There may be so many good pitchers out there that can be replaced.

Like this match, if Narumiya is replaced, then Akagi will soon take the points and seal the win.

Even if Xijing is a team in the top eight in the country, facing Sawamura and Akagi, they can only be caught.

On the other hand, if Komaki changes Sawamura, it won't be much, and Akagi will be blown up in one game.

When two teams play, if the strength is equal, the role of the pitcher will account for six or seven percent.

In a game where one is strong and one is weak, the role of the pitcher can even account for eighty or ninety percent.

Akagi was able to advance to this place because of the escort of Arisawa Village.

Considering the possible third-round showdown and play-offs, Sawamura didn't dare to use the over-speed straight ball too much. Otherwise, in the later stages of the game, or in the extra game, he will exert too much physical strength, and such a ball may be targeted.

There is no need to strike out the opponent, seduce him to swing the bat, let him play badly, rely on the guard, and win the game is the same.

With his mind turning, Sawamura's pitching changed, and he threw his second ball.

This ball, so sweet!

Although it is in the corner of the good ball belt, it is very tempting, as if you can raise your hand and swing the ball out.

It's this kind of ball, compared to a straight ball that Xijing hitters can't see through and can't hit. This kind of ball is even more chilling.

"Relax as you did when practicing! Just relax! Hit the ball out! ”

After recognizing the ball path, Qi Ping's whole person suddenly stabilized.

On his body, there is no half of the muscle that is particularly forced, and it is very relaxed.

Here it is, it's now.

The ball came into range, and Qi Ping's muscles suddenly tensed, and he swung his bat.

"Ping!"

The small white ball was hit and flew upside down.

It's so fast, faster than Sawamura's pitching.

The ball landed on the side of the second baseman, Nobu Nakagawa.

"Ashin!"

I know!

Ashin reacted too, but the reaction was a beat slower, and he could only watch as the baseball flew out of his side.
