Chapter Twenty-Three: Top Showdown
"Out!"
There was hardly any suspense, and the striking Feng Xiang was blocked out.
This is not the end of the story, Oda has already prepared to run from third base to home run, and this time it is halfway through.
Now he can't get back to third base, so he can only rush in the direction of home plate.
After blocking Feng Xiang, Matsumoto passed the ball back to the catcher at Daihoku High School.
"Smack!"
The catcher received the ball, and at this time Oda also slid to home plate like a desperate man.
The catcher at Dabei High School is also well-trained, and cleanly uses the glove handle to kill Oda out.
"Out!"
Double Kill!
Home Plate Double Kill!!
Originally, Akagi Middle School, as soon as it was out, the good situation of someone on the third base was resolved in this way.
The beautiful cheerleaders of Dabei Middle School danced excitedly one by one.
In a corner of the stands, Feng Xiang Long Yi, who was wearing a suit, crossed his arms and set his eyes on the court. The focus of his gaze was Kenen Matsumoto.
Unlike high-profile pitchers, it is generally difficult to produce the top players in the country in the field position.
On the baseball field, there are often only two types of players who are most likely to be in the spotlight. One is a strong throw, the other is a strong hit!
It's like strikeouts and home runs, and just looking at it makes people's blood boil. In comparison, no matter how wonderful the guards of the fielders are, they don't have that blood-pumping feeling.
In any competitive sport, people inevitably have some heroic plots. For those players who can use their strong strength to carry the flag of the whole team forward, they have a soft spot.
Akagi Middle School has just risen for just over a year, why do you have so many fans? The reason is very simple, people see the long-lost spirit in Akagi, the spirit of heroism.
Sawamura almost single-handedly brought Akagi, who was nothing, into a team that could compete with the three kings.
Although Nagano Prefecture is not very good, the three kings of Nagano Prefecture are not weak at all because of the relationship between the time, place and people. Let's be realistic, almost every one of them has a national level.
And Sawamura relied on himself to bring Akagi to such heights.
Sawamura's friends also played the role of green leaves very well, and they improved in almost every game. Now it has grown to the point where it can win without relying on Sawamura.
Let's ask, how can such a team not be moved to follow.
That's the charm of Akagi!
In addition to the pitchers, there is also the strong play that can turn the tide. It's just that in comparison, when they play strongly, although they are just as exciting, they have too few opportunities to perform compared to pitchers.
Three, up to four or five chances of blowing.
If a hitter wants to perform, he needs the right timing and situation.
"But even so, Kenen Matsumoto has grown to the level of a top player in the country."
Fengxiang Longyi's affirmation of Matsumoto Kenen is unimaginable to others. In his opinion, three of Nagano's five star players live up to their name. Even if they are dragged to the whole country, they are absolutely outstanding. In addition, like Fengxiang Aoyi and their trump card Mari, although these two are top first-class players, they are still a little worse than the national level.
And Haruka Nanami, Eijun Sawamura, and the man in front of him, Kenen Matsumoto. The three of them, each of them is a well-deserved son of heaven.
The game continues.
In the first half of the second game, Dabei Middle School attacked.
No one is out, no one is on base.
"Fourth baseman, first baseman, Kenen Matsumoto."
Matsumoto Kenen, who was still entangled in competing with his younger brother, has no such small thoughts at the moment. I have to say, he really likes baseball. This liking has reached the point of an obsession.
Come on, come on!
Let me take a look at how much Sawamura Eijun, who has turned the whole of Nagano upside down, how much ability he has?
Matsumoto, who was standing in the strike zone, was extremely relaxed, but his mind was very focused.
It seemed that his whole body, as if he was not moving King Kong, was standing on the strike zone. His eyes were blazingly staring at Sawamura on the pitcher, as if he was going to devour Sawamura alive.
"Ah, that's terrible!"
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura felt excitement and excitement in every cell of his body. Originally, he thought that Matsumoto was a waste of fame and didn't take the other party too seriously. But he didn't expect that when he really faced off, the other party could bring him such a sense of oppression.
Although Sawamura's current strength has not fully recovered to his peak, his spirit is different. His spiritual willpower is only stronger than in his previous life, not weak.
can make such a Sawamura feel a trace of danger, this is the second time after Sawamura was reborn.
The first time was Haruka Nanami!
The strength of these two people is far beyond the level of middle school.
When pitching in the major leagues, Sawamura feels this way whenever he pitches on the court. With such stimulation, Sawamura's familiar feeling returned.
Without any warning, everyone sensed that Sawamura was different.
Compared with him before, he is completely like two people.
In the stands, Fengxiang Longyi looked at the imposing Sawamura in surprise, with his rich experience, Fengxiang Longyi realized a very incredible thing.
Sawamura should be strong when it is strong!
No, it's not appropriate to say that when you are strong, you are strong, and the most appropriate way to say it should be Sawamura that he is serious.
To be honest, Fengxiang Long Yi would rather believe that Sawamura is the kind of rare breed that is strong when it is strong, rather than believe that Sawamura still has spare strength before.
What are you kidding, the gap between the overall strength of the three kings and Akagi is completely a huge chasm. Sawamura had relied on his own strength to bridge this gap before.
If he hadn't done his best before, where was the end of Sawamura?
"Whoosh!"
Just when Fengxiang Long Yi was surprised, Sawamura's first ball was shot.
The white ball is like a laser, shooting from the pitcher's mound to the good ball band.
"Buzz!"
The powerful swing of the stick, as if mixed with muffled thunder, roared out.
In the strike zone, Matsumoto swung his bat on the first spot, and the bat caught up with the speed of the baseball and knocked the ball out.
"Ping!"
The little white ball was hit, stuck to the outside of the third base touchline, and flew out.
"Out of bounds!"
This ball, the moment it was hit, Ken Yamaguchi, who was in charge of guarding third base, didn't have time to react at all.
So fast!
One stick, just one stick, and everyone in Akagi was silent.
That's the deterrent power of top hitters.
If there is anyone who can remain calm, it is probably Sawamura Eijun on the pitcher's hill.
"That's a good shot!"
