Chapter Thirty-Eight: Strong Promotion
In the third round of the Tokyo Spring Contest, Seido High School competed against Jonway High School.
Even though the match was only played for five rounds, it was already nearing its end.
In the second half of the fifth game, the score gap between the two sides has widened to 12 points. As long as Qingdao High School holds on to this inning, they have reached the condition of ending the game early.
"You can't give up the last chance to attack!"
At this moment, the players of Yongyuan High School no longer have the previous look in their eyes. The huge difference in strength has made them numb to the result of the game.
It's not that they have a weak will to fight, it's that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. In this game, they don't feel the slightest bit of fun, some just despair.
Although the supervisor was roaring vigorously, the players at this time couldn't listen to a word at all.
The superintendent of Jonway High School also knew that no matter what he said, it would be difficult for him to have any effect.
"At least one point to recover! It's not that our offense hasn't worked, haven't you already scored a couple of hits so far? Although we haven't been able to score, our attack has been effective. Score a point at the last moment! ”
In the past, the grumpy overseer, whose ambition was greater than the sky, made only such a humble request.
This still has a big impact on the players.
"yes, take a point. By now, Seido High School's offensive has ended. The rest depends on how we attack. ”
Yongyuan's catcher clenched his fist and said bewildermently.
That's right, their blows are still effective.
The contestants of Jonway High School finally had a little more light in their eyes.
"Go!"
"Absolutely no defeat!"
The light eventually turned into madness, and one by one they roared, ready to rush onto the court.
Seeing the other party's performance, the players of Seido High School looked at each other.
They don't understand each other's behavior very much, could it be that because they lost too badly, the players of Jonway High School broke down in their whole spirits?
No matter how irrational the players are, the difference in strength between the two sides is clearly there. This is not something that the players of Jonway High School can reverse as soon as they are ruthless.
"Go up and give your opponent the final blow!"
Kataoka supervised the ultimatum.
It was like the official who supervised the death penalty on the ancient execution ground threw out the arrow in his hand.
"Slash!"
"O!!"
The players from Seido High School took to the court one after another.
"Seido High School changed pitchers, former fielder Sawamura-san, climbed the pitcher mound."
In this final inning, when he had already crushed his opponent strongly, Superintendent Kataoka replaced Sawamura Eijun with pitcher Mouka.
This move, as long as you know a little bit about it, is a little incomprehensible.
They don't understand, what is the significance of Superintendent Kataoka replacing Sawamura Eijun with Pitcher Hill at this time?
But the audience doesn't care so much.
As long as they can see Sawamura Eisuki standing on the pitcher's mound, they are already happy.
"Sawamura!"
"Demon King! Beelzebub!!! ”
Huge cheers enveloped the entire stadium. At this moment, the scene was as if it was a concert, and it was surrounded by fans of Eijun Sawamura.
Even those who weren't fans of Sawamura Eijun in the first place, immersed in such an atmosphere, couldn't help but shout along.
This is probably the so-called group effect.
"At this time?"
The eyes of the superintendent of Yongyuan High School suddenly widened, and they were faintly bloodshot.
He really doesn't understand, the meaning of Seido High School replacing Sawamura Eijun at this time?
Could it be that the achievement is to put on a handful at the end? Tell everyone on the scene that the previous Seido High School was not their heyday.
They can also get stronger.
Although the previous nine people are almost the strongest lineup of Qingdao starters.
Did Eijun Kazawa Mura stand on the pitcher's mound? The meaning is different.
Only when Sawamura stands on the pitcher's hill will Seido High School be the strongest Seido High School.
"Sawamura didn't play much in the semi-finals and finals in the previous spring Koshien, and there must be some reason for that! Offense, offense!! ”
Although there is no way to guess what exactly Izusawa experienced in Koshien in the spring before?
But the superintendent of Jonway High School intuitively believed that as long as they attacked actively, they would definitely have a chance.
The children under his hands, when they train on weekdays, none of them are lazy. They all completed the training tasks assigned to them in full, and worked hard.
It is said that a sword is sharpened in three years, and by this time, the sword should have been sharpened.
Let's attack!
As if feeling the persistence of their own supervision, the contestants of Jonway High School burst out at the last moment, with extraordinary fighting spirit.
Even if it's in the face of Sawamura, even if it's the enemy of everyone on the scene.
None of them flinched.
The bat in his hand was held high, and his eyes were staring at Sawamura Eijun on the pitcher's mound without blinking.
For Sawamura Eijun, the players of Jonway High School are not unprepared, in fact, before the start of the game, their first imaginary enemy is Sawamura Eijun.
It's not that they're overestimating themselves, it's because it's the first game of the Seido High School Tokyo Spring Tournament.
That is, the important first battle!
In the case of uncertainty about what hole cards the opponent has, all the teams generally go all out in the first game.
Therefore, the players of Yongyuan High School also practiced with Sawamura Eijun as an imaginary enemy.
They also studied a lot of information about Sawamura Eijun.
From the analysis of the information collected before, the current Sawamura Eijun is very different from when he first debuted.
In the past, Sawamura Eijun left people with the impression of changing the little prince.
He is a pitcher who uses the change ball as his lifeline to survive, and has a unique nine-color change ball.
This nine-colored change ball was blown out by reporters for Sawamura.
Pitchers who originally had more than seven types of change balls were called colorful change ball pitchers.
By this definition, Sawamura should be a pitcher of this type.
But Sawamura Eijun's change ball is too colorful, and the record is too strong.
Reporters believe that the simple colorful change ball is no longer enough to describe Sawamura's talent.
So they added two more colors to the seven colors!
There is the so-called nine-colored change ball.
Of course this was before.
Since the beginning of the autumn tournament, Sawamura Eisan has consciously changed his pitching rhythm, and now he has become mainly based on straight balls, supplemented by changing balls.
This point was keenly noticed by the players of Jonway High School.
In fact, there is no need to be sharp, Sawamura Eijun's style has changed very obviously. If you have studied Seido High School a little, you will find out.
Faced with such a situation, the striking strategy developed by the players of Jonway High School was to give up all the changing balls and only shoot straight balls.
"Whoosh!"
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura Eisumi pulled out the stance, as if he wanted to use all the strength of his body.
The white ball is like a laser that is thrown out of the pitcher's hand and into the inside corner.
So fast!
Without warning at all, the little white ball came out.
The hitters in the strike zone were stunned.
Although when I collected the information before, I already knew that Sawamura Eijun's pitching speed was fast.
But when you really look at it from the strike zone, it's still different.
This kind of pitching in front of you, where is it so simple to be fast.
It's simply a speeding violation, okay?
Without reacting at all, the baseball landed in Miyuki's gloves.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!!"
Yukichiya, who received the ball, was also very comfortable.
He nodded at Sawamura and passed the ball back.
For such an effect, I should also thank Kawakami.
Although the number of balls between Kawakami and Sawamura Eijun is not much different.
Sawamura Eisumi is about five kilometers faster than Kawakami's ball speed.
But add that kind of pitching posture where you can't see the drop point.
If you look at it from the strike zone, Sawamura's ball speed is at least 155 kilometers.
Even if I have collected information on the Internet before, it will still feel different when I really stand in the strike zone and face off against Sawamura Eijun.
The fighters of Jonway High School are not bad.
But without any psychological preparation, he suddenly pitched to Eijun Uesawamura.
It's impossible to hit at all!
The title of the Great Demon King is not for fun, and not for anyone.
The reason why Superintendent Kataoka replaced Sawamura Eijun at this time was to give the opponent the final blow.
At the same time, it is also a signal to the opponents in the stands who come to watch the game.
Our ace has no problems and can play at any time.
In this way, when they are preparing, they have to consider the factor of Sawamura Eijun being suddenly substituted.
For the pitcher Kingdom Qingdao High School, such a smoke bomb can definitely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Of course! If there are no problems with the team itself, Kataoka is expected to not do it again.
When the strength is really strong enough to completely ignore any opponent, there is no room for intrigue and intrigue.
According to the personality of the supervisor of the photo, he will probably choose to crush the past strongly.
And the reason why Superintendent Kataoka is doing this now is because he has already sensed the hidden dangers of Seido High School.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!!"
"Strikeout!!"
"Strikeout!!
"Strikeouts !!!"
Nine goals, not a single goal is wasted.
Cleanly and neatly let the hitters of the fateful high school go up and down three times.
Sawamura Eijun, who was sent to the field and entrusted with a heavy task.
I did my job very well.
played the role of the Great Demon King to the fullest.
"It's over!"
"In the third round of the Tokyo Spring Tournament, Seido High School played against Jonway High School, and the score was 12:0, and the winner was Seido !!"
As the narrator voice fell.
The scene was boiling.
"Qingdao! Qingdao !! ”
The supporters of Seido High School cheered hoarsely for the contestants of Seido High School.
They didn't notice the hidden dangers hidden in Qingdao High School at all, they only saw the results.
That is, Qingdao High School has strongly crushed Yongyuan High School, which has risen very strongly recently.
