PPS: I'm about to enter the fifth watch, and I've been writing the outline of the next dozens of chapters. I changed it several times, but I was not particularly satisfied. It was finally settled, and I was almost able to write the Kanto Conference in one go. For the sake of Xiaoxiong's diligence, everyone subscribes. Otherwise, they are all too miserable, and the bear will cry if it is not good. Let's talk about the time of the fifth watch, which are nine o'clock, 12 o'clock, two o'clock in the afternoon, five o'clock and 7 o'clock in the evening. If there is a change, it will be added in the morning, between 9 and 12 am. Then add a watch in the evening. More than seven watches, there is really nothing the bear can do. Don't talk too much, otherwise everyone should say that the bear cheats the word count, let's continue the story.

Sawamura's strength has fallen into a bottleneck.

During this period of time, his striking strength has been rising, and it seems that it is quite smooth sailing.

But in fact, Sawamura Eijun's heart was a little anxious.

Why?

It's because his pitching is stuck in a bottleneck.

If it weren't for some time ago, he developed the level four change ball by chance.

From the winter break to now, he has not improved at all in pitching.

On the contrary, because his pitching speed has improved a lot. He changed the ball at a high level, and the ball control was not as stable as it used to be.

Pitching is a very delicate job.

How to hold the ball, how hard you hold the ball, how hard you throw it, how you shoot it, and how you feel when you throw it......

If any of these things go wrong, the consequences are very unimaginable.

Sawamura's ball speed has increased by nearly five kilometers overall, and in the past six months, his body has developed well, and his strength has also improved a lot.

Even Sawamura's palm is one size larger than before.

With so many changes, despite Sawamura's daily practice, he still can't fully control and adapt.

Up to now, it is difficult to do as much as you like with the high-level change balls you did before. Sawamura Eijun also worked hard to control the ball completely.

Only later did he realize that this could not be done.

The reason for this is actually very simple, it is because his ball speed has become faster.

So fast ball, so sharp change!

The chemical reaction caused by the addition of the two naturally made Sawamura's pitching more tricky.

And the problem is precisely that Sawamura's pitching is too tricky.

Such a tricky ball, such a rapid change, unconsciously beyond the shackles of a good ball belt.

When he found out, Sawamura really wanted to cry.

In his previous life, Sawamura Eijun suffered a big loss in ball speed, so he paid special attention to honing his ball speed.

So far, his overall ball speed is at least 10 kilometers faster than the previous period. To a certain extent, he has exceeded his limits.

On the face of it, this is certainly a good thing.

But good things are also risky.

Sawamura Eijun never expected that after his ball speed became faster, the change ball would be so difficult to master.

If you want to master the method, it's not like there's no way.

Sawamura Eijun knows one.

Practice! Endless practice.

As the speed of the ball increases, so must the vision and perception. Otherwise, he would never have been able to do what he did before.

If it doesn't work once, it will be ten times, if it doesn't work ten times, it will be a hundred times, if it doesn't work a hundred times, it will be a thousand times, and if it doesn't work a thousand times, it will be ten thousand times.

As long as there is perseverance, the iron rod can also be sharpened into an embroidery needle.

Although I don't know how much effort and effort it takes to put in this?

In the absence of other ways, Sawamura Eijun can only go down this path.

Walking alone on the court, Sawamura looked up at the sky.

The sky was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Is it going to rain?"

Just as Sawamura was deep in thought, he suddenly heard the sound of friction coming from the court.

Looking up, a figure with golden hair was running with a tire.

It could be seen that the figure was already exhausted.

But he still ran strongly.

What a coincidence!

Sawamura Eijun whispered in his heart.

He didn't expect to be here, to see Okumura.

originally thought that if he was not selected for the first army, this kid would be more or less depressed for a few days.

I didn't expect him to react so quickly and behave so positively.

Glancing up at Superintendent Kataoka's office.

Not surprisingly, there were still lights on.

On weekdays, Sawamura Eijun is the one who trains to the latest. Sometimes when he goes to the bath to take a bath, he meets Superintendent Kataoka.

In other words, Supervisor Kataoka is generally one of the few people in the team who rests until the latest.

Any situation where a player practices will not escape his eyes.

Sawamura knows this. It's not a secret to the older students who are a little more awake.

But it is impossible for a freshman to know.

Okumura is training here, probably not specifically to let Superintendent Kataoka notice him.

In other words, his immediate actions are just daily and completely unconscious.

And such a performance will definitely enter the eyes of Superintendent Kataoka.

The training quota of the Kanto Congress was given to others. It's a pity that Okumura probably doesn't have a chance.

But when it comes to the summer competition, I am afraid that one of the training places for several freshmen needs to be shuffled.

Sawamura even dared to assert that Superintendent Kataoka would definitely promote Okumura before the summer tournament.

Talented and hard enough.

This simply poked at the soft underbelly of Superintendent Kataoka.

Everyone has weaknesses, and Inspector Kataoka is also a human being, so naturally there are weaknesses as well.

For example, he can never ignore players who are talented and know how to work hard.

Chen Ping was able to be selected for the first army before, and his talent is certainly one thing. During that time, he practiced desperately, trying to master all kinds of baseball knowledge.

I'm afraid it's also a very important reason.

If it weren't for the secret guidance of a master like Yoichi Kuramochi, even if Chen Ping had that unparalleled speed killing weapon, I am afraid that he would not have fallen into the eyes of Superintendent Kataoka so quickly.

"Would you be interested in catching my ball?"

When Okumura finished running with the tires in tow, Sawamura Eijun suddenly offered an invitation.

Okumura's eyes widened suddenly.

The face of the iceberg, which has not changed for thousands of years, showed a little emotion.

"Of course, I'm always interested."

The invitation of the team's ace, no catcher will refuse. Not to mention someone like Okumura who has the hope of hitting the main catcher.

Putting the tires back in the training room, Okumura was still a little incredulous.

If Sawamura wants to find someone, give him the ball.

I'm afraid all the catchers won't refuse.

Especially Sawamura Eijun's elementary school brother Matsumoto......

Why did you find him?

Or should it be said, why help him?

After Yukiichi also retired, the catcher of Seido High School was chosen.

One of the most important parameters is who can completely catch Sawamura's ball.

The more they practice at this time, the more promising they are for the future.

Sawamura Eijun took the initiative to invite him, which was actually equivalent to helping him.

"Why do you want to help me?"

Okumura frowned and looked at Sawamura Eijun.

Sawamura did not shy away from it, smiled slightly, and said with great certainty.

"I don't need to ask, of course, because I'm optimistic about you!"

I'm optimistic about you!!!

These words came out of Sawamura Rongjun's mouth, and the weight was too heavy.
