Chapter 68: The Real Monster (Part 3)
"We won this game!"
At a hostel in Tokyo near Jingu Stadium, Sawamura said in a firm tone.
After hearing this, the friends of Akagi Middle School did not pay attention to their captain.
Except for the game against Xijing Middle School, Sawamura was normal, and in other games, Sawamura looked like this, like a psychopath, and didn't take the opponent in his eyes at all. In his own words, the other party is "a bunch of little kids, what is there to say." ”
This time, everyone thought that Sawamura was having another convulsion.
"The pitcher wasn't slow, it didn't seem to be that fast. Why can't the beaters fight well? ”
In the picture, the pitcher of the green tree strikes against the opponent not much, at least compared to Sawamura. According to the commentary and the speed measurement on the spot, the pitcher's highest ball speed is 138 kilometers, and the average is about 135 kilometers.
This kind of ball speed, compared to the little black pitcher of Shenfeng Middle School that Akagi's friends met before, and Cheng Gongming of Xijing Middle School, is really nothing.
"Either you can't hit it, or you can't hit it well. If there's something about this pitcher that we can't tell, it's that he's intimidating with his ball. ”
"It's a tricky guy."
Ashin and Feng Liang said a word, and I discussed it word by word.
Looking at their serious appearance, they naturally have a master's demeanor.
If it is photographed by the media, it may be a good material.
Before the two strong teams clashed, they were seriously discussing tactics.
"Don't ignore me!"
Sawamura angrily pinched one with one hand: "Are you two very powerful?" Could it be that you have a way to win? ”
Ashin and Feng Liang surrendered immediately.
Jokes aside, the real game still has to listen to Sawamura. If they were allowed to lead the game, they would have won the game, but they would have lost.
"Big brother, big brother, let's make a joke, don't take it seriously!"
"Fun, fun, Xiaorong, let go."
The two begged for mercy again and again.
In fact, Sawamura didn't use much effort, and the two of them didn't really feel suffocated, but everyone was making trouble, just trying to relax.
"Alright, everyone, stop messing around! Sawamura just said that we won this game, could it be that you already have any ideas? ”
Sano asked.
Now the two leading teachers of Akagi Middle School are very beautiful.
The reporter who wanted to do an exclusive interview with Akagi Middle School was about to lift the two of them to the sky. The news from the school is also exciting, promotions and salary increases are trivial matters, if it is not allowed by the policy, maybe both of them will have a daughter-in-law.
To be honest, this feeling of being in the spotlight is really good! Whether it's Sano or Wada, it's all quite enjoyable.
It's just that sometimes they themselves are confused, and it feels like a dream, so Akagi is in the top two in the country?
Why does it feel so unreal?
Now that Sawamura has said that Akagi has a chance to win the final, doesn't that mean that Akagi will become the new national hegemon.
Thinking about it this way, my heart is really a little surging.
Sawamura smiled slightly, noncommittal.
Ten years later, there are many talented players of the same age as Sawamura. Fans of good deeds also call their generation the golden generation!
Naturally, there are leaders in the big era!
The leader of their time was the man who was pitching on the screen.
Monster - Hongo Masamune!
What is Monster? On the court, like a giant beast, the player who is invincible is. And Hongo Masamune, on the pitcher's hill, that's it.
The three most important elements of a pitcher, ball speed, ball control, and variety!
Sawamura suffered in ball speed in his previous life, and he almost failed to become a legend. Cheng Gong Ming also did not become a legend because of his unsuccessful personal development. Sawamura's good friend Akira Tani had enough ball speed and change, but he suffered a loss in ball control......
Pick a bone in the egg, all good players, there will always be some weaknesses.
Hongo's ball speed is not as good as Akira Tanaya, ball control is not as good as Narumiya Ming, and the change is not Sawamura's opponent.
But people are comprehensive!
And there is enough stamina!
Ball speed, ball control, ball power, variation, no shortage of the same!
In these years, it is a comprehensive strength.
In the end, among Sawamura's players in the same period, Hongo went the farthest, although it did not become a legend. (Equivalent to football king Maradona, basketball Michael Jordan and other legendary superstars.) )
But he is the best of all.
Seeing him appear in Qingyu Middle School, Sawamura is not surprised why Qingyu was able to reach the finals.
After all, that's the real monster!
However, in the face of this monster, Sawamura didn't worry too much.
Just now, he counted the information of the children in Hongxiang and Qingyu Middle School, and found a lot of interesting things.
First, this was Hongo's first time in the country and his first time competing in Tokyo.
Second, Hongo's previous record, as well as the strength of the green tree.
If nothing else, these two points are very interesting.
At the beginning of the national competition, the main pitcher of the green tree was not Hongo, but another pitcher. The pitcher's strength is average, and the road to promotion is not smooth.
It wasn't until the third round that Hongo started playing.
It wasn't a good performance, but it helped the team win the game.
He really appeared in front of everyone's eyes in the semi-finals that just ended.
In this semi-final, Hongo was a blockbuster, facing a strong opponent, he threw six rounds of his own without dropping points.
Interestingly, in the seventh and final game, he was replaced early due to heat stroke.
Almost at a glance, Sawamura could see what was going on.
Hongo children who have just come from Hokkaido may not be able to adapt to the high temperatures in Tokyo.
It's also thanks to him that he was able to hold on to the semifinals, and such a strong perseverance made Sawamura have to admire.
To explain here, although the total area of the island country is not large, it is a long and narrow country, so the latitude spanned is particularly large. The difference in temperature between the north and the south is not smaller than ours. Hokkaido, the northernmost part, has reached 36 and 35 degrees in latitude, and the average temperature in Hokkaido throughout the year is very low.
It's a world covered in snow all year round!
The people who live there come to Tokyo for the first time to compete, how can they stand it? Players in other positions have a little less physical exertion and can still persevere. In a position like a pitcher, if you can't go up and throw a few innings, it is estimated that the person will melt away.
Although Sawamura is a pity, he can't compete seriously with Hongo, who is 100% in form.
But the reality is so cruel, he will not change because of personal emotions.
In addition to the ace Hongo, the strength of the substitute pitchers of the green tree is relatively average, and in Sawamura's opinion, they win each other, and the problem is not big.
As long as Akagi himself doesn't make any mistakes!
Time is like an arrow, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, it was the day of the finals of the national competition.
