Chapter 15: The Great Demon King! (Ask for subscription)
"Fifteen!"
"Fifteen !!"
"Strikeouts, strikes!!"
At the Yokohama Stadium in Kanagawa, the audience on the court has long lost the gentlemanly demeanor they had at the beginning, and they are like red-eyed devils, sticking out their fangs at Yokozuna.
If this is a work with Yokozuna as the protagonist, then at this time, these audiences are like the devil one by one, and there is no difference.
In front of a group of children who are only thirteen or fourteen, showing such fierce eyes, shouting such excessive words, not the devil, what is it?
But it's no wonder they do.
What are the most important hobbies for people who eat melons?
Witness history, of course!
Even if you are just a melon-eating crowd who witnesses history, you are extremely happy.
And now, they are witnessing history.
Fifteen strikeouts! This must be unprecedented, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have a record of those who came later.
As long as you think that you are witnessing such history, and when you meet others talking about this game in the future, you can pat your chest and say that Lao Tzu has seen it with your own eyes. The genes that belong to humans in their bodies are dying, and the genes belonging to beasts are awakening.
If there was no one to guide you, everyone might not be so excited. It's like the Yellow River is rising and blocked by dams on both sides, and even though the water is raging, it may not cause much harm. But if there is an opening in the dam, the result will be different, and the water will no longer be able to stop it.
The brothers of the Red Heart Brotherhood are that mouth, and although everyone is excited, they may not necessarily have an overreaction. But the brothers of the Brotherhood of Red Heart have been conscientiously leading by example.
The power of example is endless.
Seeing the brothers of the Brotherhood of the Red Heart who have released themselves to their heart's content, can these melon-eating people still be able to bear it?
So, they also went crazy.
At this time, Sawamura's fifteenth strikeout, as if a cannon twist had been ignited, completely blew up the entire Yokohama Stadium.
Under such pressure, Rao is Yokozuna's player is well-informed, and he is also scared enough.
In the cowshed of Yokozuna.
Inspector Takeda's face was extremely pale, and the situation had deteriorated far beyond his imagination.
The audience would be so excited, which he didn't expect. What he didn't expect even more was that Kanosuke Yamanaka's swing of the stick missed. With such a straight ball in the inside corner, since he deceived it, how could he swing the bat and miss?
Yamanaka, isn't he nervous?
When Yamanaka returned to the cowshed, Takeda endured it, but still didn't hold back, and took the initiative to ask, "The last ball, what's going on?" ”
The face of the mountain was pale, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"After the ball is in hand, it turns!"
At hand, turn around!!
Takeda's eyes were full of doubt, how could a straight ball turn a corner?
"Could it be a delusion?"
It's not like Sawamura hasn't used such a move before, didn't he take advantage of his left pitcher in the first three innings, and use the method of misalignment of the line of sight to win nine strikeouts. If it weren't for those nine strikeouts, Yokozuna wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
"Probably not!"
Yamanaka was shocked, but calm: "I used to see his position after the blow missed, and he was standing in the middle of the pitcher's mound. ”
Takeda felt the roots of his teeth start to hurt.
"It's Carter Ball!"
"It's like that! But the change is bigger than Carter's ball, there should be a sinking, and the purpose of his ball should be to make my short shot miss. ”
The results of Yamanaka's own analysis, he himself could not believe it.
Let the beater miss the short fight!
Is there really such a pitcher in this world?
The answer, of course, is yes, isn't it the right one in front of you?
As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.
"Fourth baseman, first baseman, Otomo ancestor!"
At this time, it was the turn of Yokozuna's core fourth baton, Otomo Ancestor.
Seeing that Yamanaka didn't get on base, Otomo realized that if they wanted to score in this game, it would be difficult.
In this case, his purpose becomes more pure, first to consume Sawamura's ball count and prepare for the play-off. The second was to interrupt Sawamura's successive strikeouts. Of course, he doesn't mind scoring a hit if he has the chance.
With a short grip on the bat in his hand, Otomo gave up the long game and chose the most sure hit-and-play style.
"Good shot!"
There was no swing on the first ball.
Sawamura's second ball, Otomo calculated the timing of the swing and hit the ball flying.
"Ping!"
The baseball flew out of bounds.
"Out of bounds!"
The number of balls is good, and the hitter is chased.
Although the situation is very good, Sawamura's face is not easy.
Although this is the third time that Otomo has stepped into the strike zone, strictly speaking, this is only the second duel between the two from Sawamura to his normal position.
In the second duel, Otomo Shoto kept up with Sawamura's pitching rhythm and changes.
"This kid really has two hits."
Sawamura felt a little chill in his heart, if this was the third duel between the two. There's a good chance Otomo will hit the ball into the field!
Yokozuna Junior High School, Otomo Ancestors!
His striking strength is definitely not below Matsumoto of Daihoku Middle School, and even higher.
It seems that if you want to strike him, the existing three straight balls are not enough!
In that case, let's take a look at the fourth straight ball.
With his middle and index fingers clasped on the baseball, Sawamura strode smoothly and threw the baseball in his hand as the center of gravity shifted.
"Whoosh!"
A small white ball that goes straight into the inner corner.
In the strike zone, Otomo looked at the ball with a cautious face.
It's close, it's close!
It's now~
Biting the right time, Otomo swings his baton and shoots.
The bat was about to hit the baseball when it fell diagonally towards the inside corner. This is the moment that the bat whizzes over it.
"Smack!"
Good ball, strikeout!
Otomo's face became extremely pale, and he looked like twins in the mountains before.
The ball just now moved sideways to the inside!!
It's Carter Ball!
But the question is, how could Sawamura possibly shoot Carter. He's only a sophomore in high school, isn't he afraid to practice this kind of change ball and let him scrap it himself?
Two outs, no one on base.
It was the turn of the batter to hit the fifth bat, pitcher, Ken Uesugi.
Uesugi also knew that it would be difficult to deal with Sawamura on his own.
Now he doesn't have the luxury of anything else, just to waste Sawamura's ball count, and by the way, see if he can interrupt Sawamura's strikeouts.
Two good balls in a row did not swing the bat, and the third ball Uesugi put on a short shot.
His purpose is clear.
At this time, Sawamura also saw it. Instead of continuing with what he called the fourth straight, he opted for the most striking approach. He threw a bad ball that bounced off the ground.
Naturally, Uesugi who played a short shot could not hit this kind of ball and was knocked out by strikeouts.
Three strikeouts in a row, setting a new record of seventeen strikeouts in a single game for Sawamura.
The middle school competition has a total of seven rounds. Without taking into account the play-offs, a team only needs to score twenty-one outs.
And of the twenty-one outs, seventeen of Sawamura's strikeouts were won with strikeouts.
This kind of performance, not to mention ordinary pitchers, is impossible for the Twelve Heavenly Kings to have.
Yes, it can only be the legendary Demon King!
