Speaking of this substitute pitcher who has just been replaced by Shonan High School. All the players of Qingdao High School almost held a fire in their hearts.

This young man named Kawaki is indeed very talented in his own right. But to say that he and Sawamura Eijun can go hand in hand, none of the players in the Seido High School baseball club can recognize.

It's just a joke......

Comparing that guy to their ace is simply the biggest insult to Sawamura and Seido High School.

Not to mention comparing with Sawamura Eijun, even compared with Aota, the No. 1 pitcher before Shonan High School, this Kawaki in front of him is not a great character.

From the perspective of an onlooker, this young man's pitching is actually very average. Some characteristics can be seen, but this characteristic is far from the extent of growth.

To put it bluntly, the Kawaki in front of him is definitely a raw melon egg.

It stands to reason that in dealing with such an opponent, Qingdao High School can casually pinch an opponent to death like pinching an ant.

But before, whether it was their mid-core line or those in the lower position......

When they fought with their opponents, they were all defeated.

It's incredible.

If the opponent's pitching level really reached this level, these players in the Seido High School baseball club were not angry, but happy.

After all, as kings, they are not averse to challenges.

Challenges are the biggest source of motivation for growth.

If Qingdao High School really can't find an opponent in the high school baseball world, then the strength of these main players in Qingdao High School will stop there. At least in the past few years of high school, it is difficult for them to improve their strength

That's the importance of competition.

The players in the Seido High School baseball club all understand this, so they never resist a challenge.

But the challenge also requires strength!

For example, if a 70-kilogram boxing champion is challenged by a 65-kilogram boxing champion, the boxing champion will of course be very happy.

Playing with a master can make his strength rise with the tide.

But you find an eight-year-old kid who has never studied martial arts, has never learned boxing, and then you come up and have to challenge the boxing champion.

Even though the champion was in control, he still felt insulted.

Originally, when the pitcher of Shonan High School was Aota, Seido High School almost regarded Shonan High School as an opponent of the same grade.

It is not difficult to see that the players of Qingdao High School attach great importance to today's game.

But at this time, you put on a teenager who has not yet reached adulthood, and you still have to fight a regular boxing match.

No matter what the strength of this little kid is? The other person will feel insulted.

Just like now, although Kawaki's performance is actually not bad.

But none of the players in the baseball club of Qingdao High School looked at him well.

It's too much of a bully!

I've never seen such a bully.

Is it true that Qingdao High School is a soft persimmon, can any cat or dog compete with Qingdao High School?

Even if the one named Kawaki solved Miyuki, but seeing his previous pitching, the Seido High School players were also very unconvinced.

If Shonan wants to entangle with Seido High School with that kind of ball, then they are simply pipe dreaming.

Even if you get a little advantage at the beginning, there is still no way to avoid the end of your demise.

Kuramochi, who was standing on the strike zone at the moment, had such emotions burning in his eyes.

He's going to get the ball out no matter what, and he can't let these guys continue to be arrogant.

Kuramachi's past life experience may seem very rich, but it's actually very simple.

It's just going crazy with a bunch of friends!

Relying on such life experience, it is unrealistic to expect him to be able to tell any great truths.

Of course, it is not without any benefits.

Because he has been on the street for a long time, Kuramochi's intuition is still very sharp.

He realized that the opponent in front of him was not as terrifying as they had seen before. At the same time, Kuramochi also found that after Shonan University fell behind, the players did not give up hope of the competition.

That is, the opponent did not collapse!

In order to secure the victory as soon as possible, Qingdao must score more points.

At this time, he had already studied Kawaki's pitching thoroughly and thought that he was very hopeful of hitting the opponent's ball.

In the rest area of Seido High School.

Miyuki, who once fought with Kawaki, is not as optimistic as others.

There is no such thing as a coincidence in this world, and Kawaki's pitching, although it doesn't seem very strong, is very characteristic of its own. If it weren't for that, how could he make the six beaters of Qingdao High School go up and down six.

"Don't underestimate your opponent, if you underestimate your opponent, it is likely that we will suffer the bitter fruit in the end."

Miyuki muttered in the lounge area.

And the Tateki family was seen by his partner Sawamura

"What are the characteristics of Kawaki's pitching?"

This is the most concerned issue for my friends.

Because the little guy's playing time is too short, the pitching characteristics he shows can't be seen on the outside.

People just intuitively thought that his pitch shouldn't be difficult to hit.

"I can't say a word or two, if you really stand in the strike zone to deal with it, you will understand!"

In the end, Miyuki gave such an ambiguous answer.

Although it is difficult to satisfy the friends with such an answer, there is no way, and they can only let it go.

Looking at Kurachi in the strike zone with eagerness, I hope this guy can bring you a different surprise.

"Ping!"

After the white ball was hit, it bounced high.

Damn it!

Kuramori looked quite unhappy with a flaming expression.

"Why are you out of the game? The opponent looks like a raw melon egg, it's really not good, you can use a short shot, go directly to the pitcher's front, so you can also have a chance to get on base! ”

Sawamura asked with a frown.

Kuramochi looked embarrassed.

Of course he knew what Sawamura was saying, but it was one thing to be clear, and it was another thing when he did it.

Didn't he float when he first stood in the strike zone?

Kuramochi was determined to think that he would be able to hit the opponent's ball with ease.

Unexpectedly, the real situation was not like that at all, and when he actually played against Kawaki, he found that this young man's pitching was quite interesting.

It's as if you've been magically applied, and you can even manipulate it freely to a certain extent.

Obviously, the overall level of ball control is not very high, but in the grasp of that small detail, it is so wonderful that it is not at all.

As soon as no one was on base, it was the turn of the hitter to Haruichi Kominato, but Kominato was also cleanly resolved.

This man, who has practiced his striking skills to the peak, is also helpless when facing Kawaki.

I hit a bounce ball on the front of first base and was caught by the first baseman of Shonan.

Two outs, no one on base.

"Third batter, pitcher, Sawamura."

Obviously, it doesn't look like the pitch is strong at all, but it just doesn't play well.

The indignation in the hearts of the original Qingdao High School players has disappeared at this time.

They began to clearly realize the extraordinaryness of the opponent in front of them.

After Sawamura stood in the strike zone, he lifted the bat in his hand.

Then his eyes never left Kawaki, who was pitching.

can have such a magical effect, so that Sawamura Eijun can't wait to see what the opponent's pitch looks like?

Come on!

Sawamura Eijun is ready for battle!

Kawaki has a pitch speed of 140 and looks very fast. But in fact, that's just it, not only for Sawamura Eijun, but also for any player selected by Seido High School, the speed of this ball is not excessive.

For Qingdao High School, which has dominated the country in a row, the slowest ball speed of the opponents they have encountered is also at this level.

It's good to get used to ball speed.

It is precisely because of the more encounters that the players of Seido High School have a wealth of experience.

Ball speed is not a problem at all!

Then why do you still fail to play Kawaki's ball?

I didn't hit the ball well, what was it for?

Sawamura was very curious and wanted to find out.

So he didn't rush to swing the bat at first, he wanted to observe a ball first.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball is thrown, and it looks like the position is really not difficult to hit. Kawaki's possession of the ball is very poor, that is, the level of being able to score a good ball belt.

It's unrealistic to expect him to throw such tricky shots.

That is, relying on a good rhythm and a relatively good ball power, Kawaki has the value of survival.

But that's about it......

Pitching itself doesn't seem too complicated.

At least in an ordinary state, Sawamura should not be able to see any clues.

To really make a discovery, he has to know more about the opponent's pitch to be possible.

Shaking his head, Sawamura decided not to dwell on it anymore and directly swung his bat.

"Ping!"

The moment the bat touched the white ball, Sawamura's face became more strange.

The small white ball seemed to suddenly teleport slightly, and Eijun Sawamura originally aimed at the center of the ball, but the baseball changed slightly.

So much so that the blow that was just aimed at the center of the ball became aimed at the top of the baseball.

The ball was hit, and he rolled out in embarrassment.

Sawamura hit the Shortstop frontal rolling ground......

In the ensuing game, the two sides went back and forth and fell into a period of special peace.

Throughout, Seido High School didn't take any points from Kawaki's hands. At most, Gu Xiao scored a hit, and he also didn't score.

The two sides maintained a score of 2:0 until the first half of the eighth inning.

Before the start of the eighth inning, the situation on the court had been very calm.

It's like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves or waves.

But somehow? Such a calm game, but no one feels really relaxed.

There was a low pressure in the air, just like the moment before a storm.

With calm comes risk, and a storm is imminent.
