Chapter 70: Qingdao begins to wield its might
At the end of five rounds, the score of the two sides remained at 1:0.
With the exception of Sawamura's home run at the beginning, neither team scored again.
Not only that, but even the hits are pitiful.
Until now, the big demon king Sawamura Rongchun has not let any hitters go to base.
Five rounds of pitching, all of which are to let the opponent go up and down three times.
threw a dominant performance.
On the other hand, Wenjing University is not inferior at all. After falling behind in the score, they quickly adjusted their state and did not give Qingdao High School any more opportunities to take advantage of the situation.
With the exception of a home run from Eijun Sawamura at the beginning, only Sawamura scored a home run in the second round.
None of the others were able to score hits!
Including the fourth stick, Yukichiya is also dumb.
The reason why Sawamura was able to win home runs and hits was not entirely due to his own strength. He also has the advantage that he doesn't know anything about Aproro like everyone else knows about Apro.
On the contrary, Apro didn't know that Sawamura Eijun knew him so well.
In this way, it is not surprising that he has been tricked continuously.
The only pity is that since the loss in the first round of the duel, Aoki Shanshan and Jack Apro have also changed their strategies.
Although they don't know how Sawamura hit a home run before, it doesn't prevent them from throwing the ball that Sawamura hit before.
Especially after discovering that Sawamura Eijun seems to have a soft spot for changing balls and is particularly motivated to hit, of course they will no longer be stupid to continue to throw change balls to Sawamura Eijun. Rather than that, it's better to escort Sawamura Eijun directly.
In the end, Aoki and Apro chose the safest strategy.
That is, to use Jack Apro's terrifying ball power to intimidate Sawamura.
As a result, in the second round of the meeting, although Sawamura hit the ball smoothly and hit the ball to the outfield, the ball was not able to fly off the court.
"It's not fun!"
Of course, Sawamura Eijun didn't like this result.
But no matter how much he didn't like it, he had to accept it.
Soon the game came to the first half of the sixth inning.
Wenjing High School Attack.
"Ping!"
At this time, Sawamura no longer had the momentum of the previous games, and his ball seemed to be easily caught.
Just like now, even the lower hitter of Bunkyo High School can easily touch the ball and hit the ball out.
The white ball rolled out and rolled impartially towards the shortstop's garrison.
"Hip hop!"
A sturdy figure popped out, easily caught the ball, and sent the ball to first base.
"Out!"
Damn it!
Damn it!!
The hitter seemed a little annoyed, and he was finally able to hit Sawamura's ball, and he wanted to ......
On the other side, in the rest area.
Aoki Sugi was not as optimistic as his teammates, and he didn't get complacent because they started hitting Sawamura.
On the contrary, his face became more solemn at the moment.
His brows furrowed tightly, and he looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound from time to time.
The rhythm of pitching has changed again.
And they also had to follow the changed rhythm of Sawamura Eijun to cooperate with the attack.
This feeling is like quenching the thirst of a dove, knowing that it is highly poisonous, but there is no way to do it.
"Did that ball just shake in your hand?"
Emir said with a frown.
Although he has been in the island country for a long time, his language to the island country has not yet reached the level where he can communicate normally.
So when you ask, you can only ask Aoki cedar.
Aoki Shan, not only plays baseball well, but also is a super student.
English is spoken as well as very walking.
Hearing Emir's question, Aoki nodded with a wry smile.
"That's right, it's the Great Demon King's quirk ball just now."
This is also one of Sawamura's famous stunts, and with his straight balls, he is simply invincible.
The most terrifying thing is that the man on the pitcher's mound now, he has more weapons at his disposal.
How many kinds of change balls does Sawamura have?
I'm afraid no one can say this question except himself.
If you want to aim for a kind of ball, unless Sawamura Eijun deliberately puts this kind of ball out, otherwise, you can't aim at all.
It's like now Sawamura Eijun uses a quirk ball, the purpose is to seduce the opponent to swing the stick actively!
It's good to get out of the game by guarding.
Sawamura didn't even hide this, so he used it openly.
Of course, Wenjing University knows this, but what can they do?
Now they can only swing the ball aggressively!
If not, after the two good goals are ahead, Sawamura Eijun will definitely not hesitate to strike out the opponent with a sharp change ball.
So even if they knew it was a pit, they could only jump into it.
Because only by jumping in can they hope to hit the ball out.
This kind of game that is completely led by the nose of the opponent is annoying, don't want it.
But there was no way.
The current Wenjing University can only do this.
The race continues!
Sawamura Eijun's number of outs was won very smoothly.
Immediately after, the eighth batter hit a high fly.
The small white ball fell straight to the top of Kominato Haruichi's head.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
Then the batter of the ninth batter hit the pitcher's front of the rolling ball.
Sawamura picked up the ball unhurriedly and sent it to first base.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
It's a clean three up and three down again.
And the most terrifying thing is that in this game, Sawamura Esumi only threw four balls to complete the defense of this game.
Even if you want to consume his pitches, you can't.
Watching Sawamura Eijun play his opponent's tricks, the supporters of Seido High School danced with excitement one by one.
They roared and roared wildly.
It's as if Seido High School has won.
Such a move has also invisibly put huge pressure on Wenjing universities.
Players like Emir, Apro, and Aoki Shan. Either you've been through a particularly grand scene before, or you're born with a big heart.
Even in the face of such terrifying pressure, they can still exert their strength.
But this does not mean that everyone in Wenjing University has such ability.
There are a few players who have no such experience, and at this time they have already shown that they are at a loss, and even nervous.
Opportunity!
The first to discover this opportunity was the ninth batter of Qingdao High School in this game.
Wang Xi.
The last time he faced off with his opponent, it seemed that he was easily eliminated, and he didn't leave a deep impression on the opponent.
Until he stood in the strike zone for the second time, it did not attract the attention of Wenjing University.
Looking at the information, you know that Wang Xi is a freshman in the first year of Qingdao High School.
The purpose of sending him on the field at this time is probably to familiarize him with the atmosphere of the game on the field.
As for betting on such a freshman as the key to victory or defeat, it is absolutely impossible.
After all, the previous general who had a good striking strength ranked fifth as soon as he came on the field.
That's the attitude of focusing on promotion and training.
Wang Xi is only the ninth stick, and he is not very valued at first glance......
With such a mentality, even Aoki Shanshan and Aipro didn't take this opponent too seriously.
In fact, they paid more attention to the two beaters behind Wang Xi.
That is, the top one or two sticks of Qingdao High School.
Aoki Shan, a typical scholar, has the kind of fault that has the most intelligent people.
That's thinking a lot.
Now he has calculated the situation he will face after solving Wang Xi.
If that's really the case at that time, no matter whether the first and second basemen of Qingdao High School can get on the base or not, they will be in a lot of trouble.
If someone is on base in the first or second base.
Then they will have to face off against Sawamura Eimura when there are people on the base.
If one or two bats don't hit base.
Then by the time of the seventh game, Sawamura Eijun was the first hitter.
Neither of these situations was what he hoped to encounter, but he had to choose one or the other.
Just as Aoki weighed the pros and cons, something happened that no one had thought of.
That is, Apro's ball, was knocked out.
"Ping!"
Without warning, the little white ball was knocked out.
The baseball drew a very perfect arc and landed precisely behind the first baseman.
Wang Xi spread the bat in his hand without changing his face, and ran to second base in one go.
The situation became nobody's out, and there were people on second base.
It wasn't until Wang Xi ran to second base that the fans at the scene understood what had happened.
I went, and in addition to Sawamura Eijun, someone quietly won the hit.
And it's a long hit at second base!
In the rest area, Superintendent Kataoka, who was wearing sunglasses, and Coach Ochiai, who was touching the mustache on his chin, looked at each other.
At this time, they finally began to congratulate themselves on their previous choice.
A pitcher who can lead the team and dominate the world, four sticks!
Known as one of the strongest players in our time!
Speedball killer, Wang Xi!
Sure enough, it lives up to its name.
In baseball, a person has strength, but he does not necessarily have a great reputation.
But if a person is very famous, then he must have some strength.
Wang Xi, even if it is placed in the pitcher kingdom Qingdao High School.
It can already be used as combat power.
And the kind that is very important.
"Hip hop!"
Immediately after that, stand on the strike zone of the warehouse. In the direction of Wang Xi, he waved his hand vigorously.
It's like typing a code.
At the position of second base, Wang Xi nodded silently, and then began to move silently to third base.
In the freshman test, when it comes to speed, Chen Ping is a blockbuster.
But there is one person who also has excellent results.
He was third in the freshman rankings. Second only to the blockbuster finished product and the fast-moving Tuoma.
This person is Wang Xi.
Seeing Wang Xi's posture of stealing the base, the catcher Aoki frowned slightly and didn't pay any more attention.
