Chapter Twenty-Seven: We Are Stronger (Tribute to Xiaohua)
On August 10, it was sunny and the temperature was 33 degrees Celsius.
Hyogo Prefecture, Koshien Stadium.
The second round of Koshien has started in full swing, and now it is the second game of the second round, Seido vs. Ilzen High School.
The competition was 'intense'.
Well, that's a little polite to Ichishon High School.
Qingdao High School's starting pitcher is ace substitute Danbo, and the catcher is the main catcher Chris. The two teamed up and directly played stupid with the line of Yishan High School.
That doesn't seem good, so let's put it another way.
The beaters of Yishan High School are very hard, really hard, at least they are not cowardly at all in the face of the return of the king, and they are very active in swinging the bat.
It's just that in the face of the high-drop curveball thrown by Koichiro Tanba, and the finger fork ball that suddenly appeared. They really don't know what kind of ball they should aim for.
In the rest area of Ilzen High School.
Ilzen's overseer, almost incredible, looked at the team of Qingdao High School opposite.
"The gap, how can it be so big!"
Now the game has just been played for five rounds, and the score on the court has reached 6:0.
At the beginning of the game, the ace pitcher of Ilzen High School barely survived three innings under the cover of the guard.
In the first three innings, Qingdao High School did not score.
With such a result, the supervisor of Yishan High School is quite satisfied.
During the first round of the Qingdao High School competition, he had clearly realized the terrible nature of Qingdao High School, and at the same time, he had realized the huge gap between them and Qingdao High School.
Originally, he was in the group of death, and he didn't have much hope of being promoted. The demands on this game are not very high.
If they do have a chance, of course, they will also hope to defeat Seido High School and win and advance to the round of 16 in Koshien. But he is self-aware, and he has also made a second set of plans.
If that doesn't work, show the characteristics of the Yishan High School players as much as possible.
So despite the first three innings, Yishan High School was not easy to guard. But the performance of his own disciples, the superintendent of Yishan High School, is still very acceptable.
The problem is in the fourth game.
At the beginning of the fourth game, the formation of the fourth baton knocked out the outfield long shot.
Such a crisp blow directly stunned the pitchers of Yishan High School.
The situation turned into no one out, and the runner was on second base.
"Fifth batter, left fielder, Sawamura-san."
In this game, Superintendent Kataoka did not intend to let Sawamura pitcher Mound pitch.
So, as a matter of course, he was redeployed back to the position of the core line.
"Rotate the rest time and I hope you can also contribute to the team in the strike zone."
The day before the competition, Superintendent Kataoka assigned tasks to the players of Seido High School, and that's what he said to Sawamura.
Strike zone.
Sawamura's eyes were unblinking, staring at the Iczen High School pitcher on the pitcher's mound.
The bat in his hand was clenched tightly. The posture is very open, and the momentum that wants to hit is very sufficient.
Maybe the catcher of Ichishon High School also thinks that this Sawamura with this posture is not easy to mess with. When he matched the pitcher with the ball, he actually made the pitcher shoot an offensive four.
The strategy is good!
If the pitcher at Ichishon High School, he really did it. Even Sawamura doesn't have a good way to deal with it.
It's a pity that the pitcher of Icishon High School, who has been completely frightened by the formation of a bat. Didn't throw all the balls outside the corners of the good ball belt.
On the third ball after two bad balls, he had a slight deviation in his possession and the ball went into the good ball zone.
"Why?"
If the catcher of Yishan High School could have bigger eye sockets, maybe his eyeballs would fly out.
Analyzed through the data they had previously collected.
The toughest hitter in Qingdao High School is, of course, the formation of the fourth batter.
The second is the superstar in the strike zone in front of him, who caused a national sensation after just one game.
Eijun Sawamura!
In the opening match of Koshien, there were many players from Seido High School who became famous in one fight.
For example, he just won the outfield long fight, relying on speed, and amazed the country's warehouse. and the fastest ball speed of 154 kilometers, super monster newcomer Xiaotani Xiao......
No matter what happened before, they are considered to be famous in the first fight.
Before, even the most famous of the three was the captain of the team. It's just that it's famous in the Nishitokyo area, and at most it's a professional baseball scout.
For fans across the country, who is the union? They don't know.
But after the opening battle of Koshien, everything changed.
At this time, the captain of the formation can no longer be said to be famous, he is very famous.
This is the greatness of the Koshien stage, and the contestants can rely on it to become famous!
In the same situation, the monster Descending Gu Xiao is the same as Kurachi.
The only exception is probably Sawamura.
Although before, most fans did not know the details of Sawamura's deeds.
But that didn't stop them from hearing Sawamura's name.
It's really Sawamura who made too much noise in the middle school softball league.
It's so big that you can't cover it up even if you want to.
When it comes to talented players in the new era, Sawamura is definitely the most famous one. Long before entering high school, Sawamura was already a household name in the country.
In the opening battle of Koshien, Sawamura just proved himself.
proved himself worthy of the title of the Great Demon King.
It's a bit of a stretch, and then I'm back to the game.
The catcher of Ilzen High School was stunned at the time.
He really didn't understand why his partner would choose to compete with a fighter like Sawamura at this time?
Isn't this looking for death?
The ending is the same as the Ichishon High School catcher guessed.
Faced with the sweet ball that suddenly appeared in the good ball belt, Sawamura Eijun did not have the slightest softness.
He directly waved the bat in his hand and hit the ball out.
"Ping!"
After being hit, the white ball streaked across the sky like a meteor and then fell to the stands.
"Fly out!"
"Two home runs!!"
Eisan Sawamura, in the second round of Koshien, knocked out a home run again.
Seido High School 2:0, leading.
At that time, Sawamura didn't know that he had inadvertently flattened, and the first-year hitter had a home run record in Koshien.
For others, this matter can be used as a trophy and hung on the wall of honor.
But for the Great Demon King Sawamura, it's really commonplace.
Even Miyamoto, the head of his fan group, was very indifferent after hearing the news.
"It's a small thing for our Lord Demon King!"
Since his debut, Sawamura has been a record refresher.
Now he's just one of those things that has been refreshed.
