Chapter 189: Enough to Stop (1st Update)
The final between Qingdao and the trolls was extremely exciting.
The people who are now paying attention to this game are not only the 60,000 or 70,000 viewers at the scene, but also tens of millions of viewers in front of the TV and online media.
When Sawamura scored twelve consecutive strikeouts, everyone who followed the game was excited.
Has anyone before Koshien scored 12 strikeouts in a row in a single game? To be honest, they really don't know. I feel that even if there is, it is already old history, and in the last few decades, there is absolutely none.
But in the final, Sawamura was the first to win 12 strikeouts in a row.
"Sawamura has set a new record for him, and in the previous record, the highest was nine consecutive strikeouts, and Sawamura improved this record by three times."
Really.
After a while, the commentator in charge of the commentary excitedly shouted out the new record, and the creator of the new record was Sawamura.
Generally, when you encounter a situation of consecutive strikeouts, as an opponent, you will definitely find a way to avoid it. In fact, the trolls did the same, and they also tried to disrupt Sawamura's strikeout rhythm with short hits.
It's a pity that Sawamura's majesty is far beyond their imagination.
Even if he put on a short fight, the player of the troll Otomaki was not able to hit Sawamura's ball, and he still made three strikes.
Fierce, really fierce!
"Demon King!"
"Demon King !!"
At first, it was the brothers of the Demon King's Praetorian Guard, but later more and more people shouted after it, so much so that the entire Koshien reverberated with the Demon King's shout.
For this, Takeda, who has just left the game, feels the deepest.
He did feel a demonic aura of terror from Sawamura's body.
Just thinking about the terrifying look in Sawamura's eyes on the pitcher's mound, Takeda has a chilling feeling.
In his mind, he couldn't even imagine the scene of taking the hit from Sawamura.
"Well done!"
"So handsome!!"
"You kid!"
When Sawamura returned to the rest area, his teammates around him were also excited. Although they are still a little unhappy in their hearts, after Sawamura stands on the pitcher mound, their sense of existence seems to be meaningless.
But with a reliable pitcher like Sawamura, they are still at ease.
For the rest of the game, they just need to figure out how to score.
Chris looked at the abnormal sweat on Sawamura's face and frowned slightly. Sawamura's stamina and physical strength have always been very good, but after only nine rounds in this game, his physical strength seems to have been consumed a lot.
Abnormal!
"Do you plan to continue this rhythm?"
Chris asked Zecun with some uneasiness in his heart.
Sawamura shook the pitch like a rattle, what a joke, and continued to maintain this rhythm, he couldn't hold on to the next nine innings.
Four innings, thirty-six balls.
So far, Sawamura has not wasted a single goal, and the number of goals is not much, and it can even be said that it is very few.
But there is a lot of physical exertion in Danzawa Village!
At first, it's okay to just throw a change ball and strike out the opponent, but it's not the same for a hitter who forcibly strikes out a troll like he did just now. At that time, Sawamura's mental power should be highly concentrated, pay attention to the beater's every move, and then make slight adjustments to make the beater's swing miss.
Even in his previous life, Sawamura was not able to throw many balls in this near-invincible state. Not to mention that his current body is not fully developed, and his mental power is not as good as in his previous life when he was fighting in the big league.
With this kind of preoccupied pitching, Sawamura was able to throw a few innings, and it was impossible to keep it until the end of the ninth inning.
As a qualified pitcher, you must not be carried away by the victory in front of you and know when to stop.
After scoring twelve strikeouts in a row, Sawamura knew he was going to stop. Otherwise, if it continues like this, it will certainly refresh very dazzling data, but Sawamura's physical strength will inevitably be consumed a lot. Even if you can barely survive until the end of the game, you can't guarantee that your pitching will remain standard.
In short, the gains outweigh the losses.
"Then let's pitch with the quirk ball as the core, and if the opponent can be scared by the strikeout, just enough to scare them. If not, then no amount of strikeouts will be useless. ”
Seeing that Sawamura was very calm, Chris was also relieved.
He was really afraid that Sawamura would be stimulated by the commentary, and continued to maintain this crazy rhythm.
In the first half of the fifth inning, Qingdao High School attacked.
"Sixth baseman, third baseman, Masuko."
Masuko, who was on the field, had extremely focused eyes.
He doesn't have a long grip on his bat and looks like he's trying to focus on a steady hit.
In the face of this brute force guy, the troll player is also extremely troubled. Especially the catcher Sato, when he saw Masuko, he felt that his brain was going to explode.
But there is no way, it should be faced or faced.
He gave Nitta a code.
Xintian also threw the spiral ball as promised, and now Xintian has no weapons to use for Qingdao. The only thing he could use was his screwball.
"Whoosh!"
The spin of the baseball is stronger than ever.
To deal with Zengzi, Xintian subconsciously showed 120% of his strength.
The increase in the strike zone is extremely calm.
He didn't rush to swing the bat, but waited for the baseball to enter his hand before swinging the bat in his hand.
"With your strength, there's no need to swing the bat. With a precise swing, it won't slow down your striking power. Isn't this something you verified yourself? ”
Superintendent Kataoka's teachings have always haunted Masuko's ears, and his eyes are on fire.
Hit it out!
There's no need to swing the ball out cleanly.
"Buzz!"
The bat is swung out with an indomitable momentum.
The spiral ball that approached Masuko's hand was slammed out.
After the baseball was played, it landed directly behind the shortstops, where there was a gap in the garrison.
"Well played!"
"Masako-senpai!!"
Unlike before, this game Zengzi has completely risen. When he was at a loss for a shot at Seido High School, he scored a clean hit.
Like a bull, Masuko rushed to second base.
No one is out, there is someone on second base!
In the last game, Sawamura had just teamed up with Yusei to create scoring opportunities. In this game, Masuko relied on his own strength to create a good opportunity for Qingdao to score again.
Qingdao's attack power is unstoppable.
"Qingdao!"
"Qingdao !!"
In the audience, countless spectators stood up excitedly.
If the previous opportunity of Qingdao was a combination of strength and luck, then the current opportunity is a real strength.
Screwball pitcher Nitta, that's it!
Compared to the Qingdao players, he is really a little worse.
