Chapter Forty-Nine: Mortari! (1st Update)
"Boy, don't be too rampant!"
At the moment when Sawamura crossed third base, the ball that flew to the outfield was picked up by Jun Izagi, and he didn't hesitate too much, and went straight to the ball and passed the ball back to home plate.
A seventy-meter long pass that was not inferior to the previous Tojo appeared.
"Whoosh!"
Like a sharp white arrow, the ball flew straight from the backcourt to home plate.
Dangerous!
At this moment, all the first- and second-year contestants had their hearts in their throats.
The pass was so fast that Sawamura should have been touched by the time he returned to home plate!
Moreover, now that Sawamura has run more than half of the way, it will be too late to return to third base.
"Damn!"
Kanemaru's face turned purple, and he was stunned by this sudden change. When Sawamura reached third base just now, he never thought that the ball from such a distance could be passed back so quickly?
It's just a foul, okay?
And because of his misjudgment, he may harm Sawamura, so he is out.
When Kanemaru was guilty, Sawamura, who was running wildly towards home plate, didn't feel like this.
And even faster!
Out of the corner of his eye, he could already see the small white ball coming back. From the location of Jun Izaki here, the distance is 70 meters.
The time for the ball of light to fly is almost two seconds smaller.
Even if there was no error between them, those two seconds would be enough for Sawamura to get close to home plate.
As long as Chris doesn't have time to adjust his position, then Sawamura has a chance to return to home plate to score.
And once Chris has time to adjust his position, with his superb skills, it will be difficult for Sawamura to touch the home plate bag right under his nose.
So even if it's 0.1 seconds, Sawamura has to be faster. It was so fast that Chris didn't have time to take a step and adjust his body.
Once he runs with all his might, Sawamura Eijun's speed is still above the warehouse. A distance of more than ten meters, that is, in the blink of an eye, he was close to home plate.
So fast!
The teenager who came up from the dam to visit the race widened his eyes in surprise.
When he watched Sawamura's game before, he was very impressed by Sawamura's pitching strength and striking ability.
Just now, he refreshed his impression of Sawamura's striking strength.
In terms of speed alone, Sawamura Eijun's speed seems to be just average, right?
Originally, the teenager thought so, but when I watched it live, it felt completely different. It's going to scare people to death if it's fast, okay?
"Smack!"
When Chris received the ball, Sawamura Eisan relied on him to run wildly, and his unparalleled speed finally entered the range of the sliding base.
Here's your chance!
Sawamura jumped to his feet, his whole body fully stretched, and his hand quietly touched the home plate.
In the process, Chris is not completely out of the box to stop. If he forcibly twists his body and rubs Sawamura Rongjun's body with a glove, there is a chance to touch it.
However, with Chris's understanding of Sawamura Eijun, if he really did that, Sawamura Eijun was afraid that he would forcibly twist his body. It's hard to say whether he will be able to touch Sawamura at that time, but Sawamura is very likely to be injured.
Eventually, Chris gave up on the practice.
For the sake of Sawamura, at that moment, Chris even gave up the principles he had always adhered to.
Originally, Chris thought that when this day came, he would be very uncomfortable. I didn't expect the feeling of giving up principles to be so understated, and there was no heartbreaking appearance at all.
Senior, junior!
Master, apprentice!
The bond between them goes beyond baseball, at least beyond Chris's previous obsession with baseball.
Now Chris, as if he was watching his brother who didn't admit defeat, watched Sawamura put his hand on home plate.
The corners of his mouth were a little helpless and a little relieved.
Sawamura, although he has not been in Qingdao for a long time, only half a year. But he is indeed the one who can best understand the spirit of Qingdao, and he is also the one who can best represent Qingdao.
Just keep going, you still have a long way to go! It's long!
"Safety!"
In the second half of the first game, Sawamura, the third batter, and Miyuki, the new captain of the four bats, coordinated perfectly. Help the first and second grade teams to recover a point.
Minister Ota, who was watching the game, felt very unreal.
It's okay to fall into the valley, or it's okay to be lucky. They all proved themselves on the field in Koshien.
Similarly, the combination of Chris and Tanba, in Koshien, is also very famous.
Such two combinations, no matter how you look at them, are not weak. But they didn't even hold up in the first game, and they lost points one after another.
"Am I dazzled, or is this the way it is?"
Minister Ota muttered.
"It's not that the garrison of both sides is really weak, they are also going all out to defend. It's just that the attack power of both sides is too strong! ”
When Coach Ochiai talked about this, he was also quite emotional.
Who would have thought that the strongest team in the country in the past, even if it was split into two teams, still had such terrifying attack strength?
He no longer has a way to think back to the previous Qingdao High School line, and it is all tears when he thinks about it.
Kuramochi, Ryosuke, Jun Izashaki, Sawamura, Chris, Miyuki, Masuko, Hakushu......
Damn, I can't think about it anymore. Even if all the strong sticks in the country are gathered together, this team may not be inferior to the other party.
It's just a pity that with the departure of the third-year players, this former strongest playing line in the country no longer exists.
Coach Ochiai has the same feelings, and the boy on the dam who came to visit Seido High School.
At this time, in the young man's mind, a very terrifying scene emerged.
In that imaginary world, there is no concept of time and space, and there is nothing else, it is completely nothing.
Then in this void space, a spear and a shield appeared.
The next scene is very similar to everything that the two teams of Qingdao High School showed before.
The spear touched the shield and pierced it completely.
It's like the defense of the two teams, their respective defensive strength is actually very strong, even if it is placed in the country, it is definitely not weak.
Why is such a high-level team easily penetrated?
It's not that their defense is really problematic, it's just that the spear in the opponent's hand is too sharp!
The shield used for defense can't be resisted at all, so it will be easily penetrated.
"Poof!"
The shield was pierced.
Isn't that what comes to mind?
The score is 2:1.
This is just the first game.
The third-grader and freshman Seido High School baseball team played out from the start.
