What is really stronger than Tamba is Sawamura's incomparably sharp ball of change. Pitchers like Sawamura who have a variety of variations are a minority after all. The other pitchers don't have Sawamura's talent.

But they can also rely on a few variations of the ball to dominate the big leagues.

Why is that?

Other people also have other people's means, relying on straight balls with several variations of the ball, showing extraordinary strength, there are not a few pitchers.

The reason why they can do this level is not all because of their changing balls, what can make the changing balls exert their power is precisely their sharp enough straight balls!

Just like Sawamura now, he often scored strikeouts. On the surface, it seems that Sawamura has a variety of weapons such as speeding straight balls, floating balls, speed balls, and quirk balls. But in fact, the reason why Sawamura can really win so many strikeouts is not because he has so many ball path changes, but because Sawamura's straight ball is a sharp enough weapon in itself.

In this life, Sawamura began to hone his ball speed and power in middle school, and the effect was very significant.

Coupled with his precise ball control and new pitching stance, his straight ball is even sharper!

Even if there are no other changes, Sawamura's own straight ball is enough to be a weapon to draw his hand to. On this basis, with the change of speeding straight balls, floating balls, and variable balls, Sawamura's straight balls can be made more powerful!

Tamba's high-drop curved ball is definitely a rare variety among the change balls. Even in Sawamura's change ball, there are not many that can be compared. It can be felt that Kamisawamura's sharp change ball is much more difficult than Tanba's high-drop curve ball.

Why is that?

This is because Sawamura's straight ball is sharper than Tanba's!

Tanba's possession of the ball is not as good as that of Kawakami, and the change ball is not as much as that of Kawakami. But he is obviously stronger than Kawakami, also because Tanba's straight ball is sharper and more powerful than Kawakami.

Let's talk about the trump card battle between Tamba and Sawamura!

If the strength of the two is about the same, in fact, Kataoka will not hesitate, then just directly determine Tanba's trump card status. After all, with his experience of sharing the joys and hardships with the third grade for two years, he can better stimulate the fighting spirit of the third grade.

Moreover, the effect of Danbo's partnership with Chris is also very good.

But that's not the case!

Because of the gap in the straight ball, not to mention the auxiliary factors such as experience and defense, and the simple pitching, Sawamura is obviously much stronger than Tanba.

In this case, with Kataoka's character, how can he give the trump card back to Tanba with peace of mind?

At the very least, Tamba must also show enough fighting spirit and strength to set off the ace!

Insert a sentence here, the reason why Xiaoya stood on the pitcher's hill made people unable to take their eyes off it, also because he had the best straight ball! Of course, if you really know baseball, you will know that Sawamura's quirky straight ball is not necessarily worse than Akira Shibuyani's straight ball.

Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.

Sawamura easily scored three strikeouts.

In the first half of the eighth game, Qingdao attacked!

It was the turn of the third batter Jun Izagiki.

Jun Izagi screamed and hit the ball, and the baseball flew in front of the pitcher. As if a god helped, Oda stretched out his glove and took the ball in his hand.

"Out!"

As soon as you are out, no one is on base!

"Fourth baseman, first baseman, formed!"

Formation VS Oda!

This time, Musashi High School did not run away, but faced it head-on. In fact, they have no way out, and with Sawamura's pitching performance just now, if they want to turn things around, they must make amazing moves to disrupt the rhythm of Seichi.

What could be more amazing than taking out the Four Sticks and the Five Sticks Sawamura?

Only in this way will Musashi High School have a chance.

It's just a pity that simple brute force pitching is just enough to deal with Ryosuke Kominato and Jun Izawashiki, and it's far from enough to deal with the knot.

"Ping!"

Form a bat, swing it, and send the ball flying into the outfield.

Second base long hit!

Yuki went to second base in one go.

One out, there's someone on second base!

After that, Sawamura played.

Hit a flat fly ball on the front of third base.

"Smack!"

"Out!"

Sawamura was picked up and killed!

"Cut, I hate this kind of pitching without any technical content."

Two outs, two on second base.

"Sixth baseman, third baseman, Masuko-san."

"Ping!"

Purely competing for brute force, Oda was not Masuko's opponent after all, and after entanglement with two balls, he was hit a home run.

Two home runs!

The overall score is 7:3!

In the second half of the eighth game, it was Musashi High School's turn to play the upper line.

Sawamura partnered with Chris and unceremoniously knocked out the three of them.

"Strikeout!"

"Strikeout!"

"Strikeouts !!!"

Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.

In the first half of the ninth inning, Qingdao High School attacked and failed to make a contribution.

In the second half of the ninth inning, Musashi High School attacked!

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!!"

"Good Ball !!"

"Strikeout!!

"Strikeouts !!!"

"Strikeouts !!!"

As if he wanted to use all the energy he was holding in his heart, Sawamura didn't spare his hand at all when he pitched, causing countless spectators in the audience to cheer.

"In the semifinals of the Kanto Conference, Nishitokyo Seido High School played Musashi High School, and in the end, 7:3, Seido High School won and won the place to advance to the finals."

In the stands.

A team stood up en masse.

They looked at the Qingdao crowd cheering excitedly, their eyes sharp.

"Seido High School, Eijun Sawamura. I'm waiting for you! ”

One of the people in the team, muttered to himself.

"Gone, Mima!"

A young overseer, holding a stopwatch in his hand, said.

The boy left with the group.

"Who are they?"

Kurachi, who is naturally sensitive to danger, has discovered the unkind gaze from afar.

Miyuki glanced in the direction he was pointing.

"It's the White Dragon Academy!"

"It's also our opponent in the next game."

At this year's Kanto Conference, Seido High School was lucky and never met the real top national heroes. And the white dragon is different, they are gods blocking and killing gods all the way, and Buddhas are blocking and killing Buddhas.

In the final of the Kanto Conference, Nishitokyo Seido High School competed in Hakuryu Gakuin in Gunma Prefecture.

The game is tomorrow, Saturday!

"It's already here, and I can't admit anything. No matter who's in the way, we're going to win! ”

Sawamura looked at the white dragon in the distance and said in a firm tone.

This was heard by Kataoka, and he glanced at Sawamura, but he didn't say anything.

"Thank you for the advice!"

"Thank you for the advice!!"

The two sides saluted each other, and everyone left and returned to their hotel.

As soon as he stepped out of the court, a group of reporters surrounded him.

Minister Ota, led by several members of the coaching staff, stopped all the reporters.

"I'm sorry everyone, I have no comment, no comment. Let's wait until after the finals! ”

"We don't give any interviews before the finals."

Kataoka and Aomichi's attitude, as always.
