Chapter 21: Brothers!
"The catcher?"
Seeing Matsumoto squatting in the catcher area, the players of Daihoku Middle School seemed to be surprised.
"Captain, isn't that catcher?"
Not sure if their guess was correct, they subconsciously turned their heads to look at their captain, who was also Matsumoto Kenen, who was tied with Sawamura and Nanami Haruka as the top 100 junior high school players in the country.
Matsumoto Kenen's eyes were also on Akagi's new catcher.
The corners of his mouth lifted up into a sneer.
"That's right, he's my unsuccessful brother. My little mother's baby son, Jun Matsumoto. ”
It is impossible for any wealthy family to be without a little dirty trouble. Just like the Matsumoto family, the father of Matsumoto Kenen and Matsumoto Jun is the second in the third generation of their family, and the most unsuccessful.
But even this one is not a weapon, and he also has a huge amount of cash and resources in his hands for ordinary people.
The cash and resources were supposed to be divided equally among his sons. But in the island country, the status disparity between the real wife and the junior is much greater than we imagined.
On the surface, the women of the island nation seem to be very open-minded, and they don't mind their husbands having fun outside. was even afraid that her husband would be bored, so she took the initiative to help arrange it.
As a man, nature is happy to enjoy it all.
But in the same way, they also know what it means to act on the spot, and who is the person who has been with them all their lives. So, their attitudes towards their wives and their lovers are different.
Most men in the island country only have money for their lovers. It's rare to have real feelings, let alone give birth to a child.
I have to say that Jun Matsumoto's mother has means, she not only gave birth to Jun Matsumoto, but also let Jun Matsumoto's father take him into the family......
To put it simply, everyone understands the grievances between Matsumoto Kenen and Matsumoto Jun. It is said that Jun Matsumoto should not have been born, let alone joined the Matsumoto family to share the property with Matsumoto Kenen.
Although he gets a share, it is very small.
But that's money, too!
The richer the person, the more he picks the door. You find a rich man worth tens of billions and ask him for 10,000. This is one millionth of his own net worth for him, what is the probability that he will give you?
It's zero!
But if you beg for a dollar with a person who has 3,000 yuan, what is the probability that he will give it to you?
Although because of the difference in value, the two cannot be compared. But in fact, it's just so realistic.
The environment in which the rich second generation has lived since childhood and the education they have received are the best. The probability that they will produce straw bales is not impossible, but it is definitely not much.
Although Matsumoto Kenen was only fourteen years old, he was no less likely to see problems than the average adult.
For Jun Matsumoto, he was very conflicted.
A brother by blood, a vampire who actually exploits his property.
"Do you want to play baseball, too?"
It is precisely because of maturity that Matsumoto Kenen thinks more.
In his opinion, Jun Matsumoto must have been deliberate and calculated when he joined Akagi. The reason for this is probably to be able to overcome yourself in the place where you are most proud. Show his strength and worth!
Really, stupidly!!
"You can't lose this game no matter what."
No matter what Jun Matsumoto thought, he decided that he couldn't let Jun Matsumoto be satisfied.
"Good ball, good ball, good ball, strikeout!"
"Strikeout!!
"Ping!"
After two consecutive strikeouts, the third batter of Dabei Middle School hit the ball out.
The ball flew far into the outfield.
Sawamura turned back and beckoned to the guards: "Stronghold!" ”
"Yes!"
As a stalwort, Pu Chun calculated the landing point of the baseball early, and then waited where to wait, and did not receive the ball in his glove.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
Three up and three down without any suspense.
In the first half of the first game, Sawamura Eijun showed extremely superb pitching skills.
"Akagi! Akagi !! ”
"Sawamura, Sawamura !!!"
The brothers of the Red Heart Brotherhood cheered for Sawamura hoarsely.
Sawamura's own face was very complicated, just the last ball, that hitter could hit the ball so far?
With a speed of 130 kilometers and a ball power, there are not many middle school students who can knock Sawamura's ball into the outfield.
Sawamura wasn't too surprised if it was just to hit the ball into the outfield, after all, the opponent was also one of the three kings, and Daihoku High School, which had the strongest playing line in the entire Nagano.
But that was when the hitter hit the center of the ball, and the hitter didn't hit the center of the ball just now, otherwise he wouldn't have hit such a high-flying ball.
Turn your ball into a high flyball and hit the outfield!
Sawamura is no stranger to this feeling. When he was a rescue pitcher in the major leagues, he often suffered this kind of loss. The hitter can't adapt to the change of his ball, so he uses brute force to kick hard.
With fast swing speed and powerful swing power, the ball is swept away.
With their swing power, the ball will fly far as it touches it.
In this case, even if the outfielder can catch the opponent, the opposing runner can continue to move forward.
Sawamura serves as a rescue pitcher, and generally as long as he plays, there are people on second and third base. One high flight may make the team fall into the abyss.
"I thought that I would have to go to the whole country to meet such a challenge. I didn't expect the challenge to come so quickly! ”
Thinking about it, Sawamura's eyes changed and became extremely solemn, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
Sawamura was surprised by the power of Dabei Middle School's swinging stick, and the beaters on the other side of Dabei were also scared enough by Sawamura.
Who can tell them what just happened?
"His ball speed is only one hundred and three, although this kind of ball is not slow, but you should be familiar with it!"
Dabei's coach looked at his disciples in confusion.
They are different from other teams, but they have the most advanced pitching machines, and the ball is 130 kilometers, and they have simulated it countless times. To put it mildly, Daihoku High School is probably the only team in Nagano or even Kanto where all hitters can keep up with the speed of 130 kilometers.
The speed of the ball was not fast, but the first two batters failed to swing the bat.
The third stick of the strong hit also hit the ball, and it was obviously high.
This is unreasonable!
"The pitcher's ball doesn't seem to be the same as the pitching machine."
Not the same?
Dabei's coach frowned.
Beside the coach, Kenen Matsumoto's eyes also became deeper.
Now, his attention has been taken away from his brother and placed on Sawamura.
Among the top 100 players of the next era, there were a total of 31 pitchers. That's a third of the total number of people!
Among the thirty-one people, Sawamura's comprehensive ability ranks ninth!
"Is this the strength of one of the top pitchers in the country, Eijun Sawamura?"
Thinking about it, the bat in his hand began to clench, and a pair of eyes seemed to devour Sawamura.
