Chapter Ninety-Six: The Real Ace (Part 3)

Matt has his ideas, and Sawamura has his own.

Although Sawamura can't be like Kataoka supervising the three of them in his rest area, the bystanders are clear.

But I can't stand Sawamura's own rich experience in competition!

Speaking of theoretical knowledge, Sawamura Eijun is not good, he really has no way, like those who have strong mouths, what he says is the Tao.

But there are many games, and there are some things that are naturally engraved in the bone marrow of Sawamura Eijun.

Actually, this is very easy to understand, it is like hitting the south wall. You only need to bump into it once, and you know that this place doesn't work, and you will naturally learn to turn around.

With nearly 20 years of baseball experience, what kind of situation has he never seen in a game?

Although there are few weird people like Shonan High School's Matt Supervisor, it is not absolutely impossible to find.

There are many people who use other knowledge to break into the baseball world. These people may already have relatively mature experience in a certain aspect, or even very high achievements.

When they start playing baseball, they immediately think about their previous experiences, especially their successes.

As for whether this knowledge is still useful on the baseball field, it is up to the wise to see what is wise.

But there is one thing that has to be said.

Every time this new knowledge rushes in, it makes a big difference to baseball.

Remove the dross and leave the essence.

In the end, what is presented on the baseball field is the crystallization of everyone's wisdom, and it can even be said to be the crystallization of human wisdom.

Physical fitness, tactical literacy, and tactical use......

All of this has reached an extremely advanced level.

Sawamura Eijun has been in the world's top arena for more than ten years.

The experience he has is his most valuable asset.

What did Shonan University use to see through his pitching position?

Sawamura is not clear.

He didn't think he had to figure it out, either.

He's not a Virgo, and he's not obsessive-compulsive himself. Why do you have to figure out the cause, know what to do, and how to resolve it?

There are some things that don't stop you from solving them, even if you don't understand the principle.

It's as if now, Sawamura has come up with a solution in his mind.

Since the opponent can see through the direction of his throw, then throw some balls that the hitter can't hit at all.

At this time, Sawamura gave his teammates behind him a code to be ready at any time.

Then I saw him pull out of the frame and throw the ball.

The glove in his right hand was pushed out like a wall, and under the block of the glove and his body, Sawamura's throwing hand was not visible at all.

The hitter who had just come on the court looked at Sawamura Eijun's pitching posture and trembled in his heart.

Originally, he thought that he had already seen Sawamura's pitch once, and this time it should be a lot easier. I didn't expect it to be like that at all, the baseball flew over without warning, and it came to me in the blink of an eye.

So fast!

It's not emotion, it's surprise.

Even if you know Sawamura's ball, when you look at it in the strike zone, it will feel very fast.

But he definitely didn't expect that it would be so fast?

In the blink of an eye, he came to his side, and before he could react, the baseball had already gotten into Miyuki's glove.

"Smack!"

"Good Ball !!"

In the rest area of Shonan High School.

Uesugi muttered.

"Look, the Great Demon King is not angry!"

Sawamura Sakae innocently launched a surge, and it was difficult for the hitter to touch his ball.

For this, Kenna Uesugi was impressed.

When they were in middle school, they played against Akagi Middle School at Henggang Middle School.

In the first encounter, Sawamura set a record for strikeouts for middle school students.

Once that man starts to soar, he is exactly like a real demon, and it is definitely not comparable to the idle people.

Although he is a player from Shonan University, Uesugi Ken never thinks that in today's competition, what chance can Shonan University have?

So, Superintendent Matt and the seniors may be unwilling?

But it can't be helped, that's the truth.

And the truth is often very, very cruel.

Just as Uesugi Ken thought, Sawamura turned on the demon's switch next.

He actually played the line against the lower position of Shonan University and launched an all-out pitch.

Sawamura, which has a ball speed of 145 kilometers by itself, plus that strange pitching posture.

The ball speed looks like it's not even lower than 155 km/h for a fast ball.

This kind of pitch is difficult for hitters to encounter even if Sawamura Eijun does not use a change ball. Not to mention the addition of a sharp ball of change on top of this.

Sawamura is no longer a problem playing the contestants of Shonan High School.

"Strikeout!"

"Strikeout!!

He directly and cleanly made two strikeouts to complete the defense of this game.

In the rest area of Shonan High School.

The assistant coach of Shonan High School bit his lip tightly with his teeth, but his lips still couldn't help but tremble.

Who hasn't had a bit of ambition yet?

The assistant coach at Shonan High School is a very ambitious person.

Originally, he dreamed that Shonan High School could pass all the way and finally defeat King Seido and win the championship in Kanto.

I didn't expect the gap between the two sides to be so big.

Sawamura, who is known as the Great Demon King, is just a little serious. Their ranks immediately collapsed.

How can this be fought?

The gap is too big!

"Overseer?"

When you are confused, you naturally have to ask your own overseer for help.

The assistant coach of Shonan University looked at their home supervisor for help.

That is, Matt.

There wasn't much expression on Matt's handsome face.

At some point, Matt had regained his initial calmness.

They are polite when they speak.

"Don't worry, it's just the fifth game. At this time, it is impossible to put on an all-out posture to last to the end. ”

In the face of Sawamura, who won three strikeouts in a row, Matt's performance was surprisingly calm.

Or the situation in front of him should have been rehearsed many times in his mind.

Sawamura, who no longer trusts his teammates, and Sawamura, who wants to win on his own, is what he wants to see the most.

But alas, Matt was doomed to disappointment.

Sawamura and Miyuki, who returned to the rest area, immediately heard Kataoka supervising their analysis.

The opponent should determine the center of gravity of the defense through micro-expressions or small movements, and guess the direction of Sawamura's pitch.

"If the other party really has that ability, why don't you look for flaws in Sawamura's face?"

Miyuki asked suspiciously.

The suspicious personality has been fused into Miyuki's bones, whether he is such a person or not? As a catcher, it's never a bad thing to use your brain.

"Sawamura has too many change balls, and there are not so many expressions to match, so it should be difficult for the opponent to lock ......"

Watanabe's words were a great inspiration.

If Sawamura Eijun is because there are too many change balls and too few expressions, there is no way to lock it.

They can be the same.

They don't have as many balls of variation, but they can make a little more faces!

I wonder how those guys from Shonan High School will react to the grimacing Seido High School players?

It's exciting just thinking about it.

In the second half of the fifth inning, Qingdao High School attacked.

Facing the strange guy Kawaki, he wants to rely on the next hitter to get points from him.

It seems a little unrealistic.

This was proven by the facts, and several players were quickly eliminated.

The game came to the sixth inning.

The score of the two sides is still 2:0, and Qingdao High School leads by two points.

After losing the score, Shonan University still behaved so calmly and quickly stabilized the situation.

If nothing else, just looking at this, Shonan universities already have great potential.

It deserves the respect of Seido High School.

The more you respect your opponent, the more you have to give it your all.

In the first half of the sixth inning, Shonan University attacked.

Now that they know each other's routines, Sawamura and Miyuki want to solve their opponents, so it won't be so troublesome.

They quickly developed a strategy and executed it decisively.

Soon, the three outs were picked up by Sawamura Eijun.

In the rest area of Shonan High School.

Overseer Matt's expression, which had just relaxed, was now tense again.

The taste is a little weird.

Exactly what went wrong, Superintendent Matt actually had no way to determine.

But it always feels weird, why the attack that had an effect before is suddenly ineffective.

Was it pure bad luck, or was something seen through by the opponent?

He didn't know anything about it.

It can only be verified by the next matches.

In the second half of the sixth inning, Qingdao High School attacked.

At this time, it is the turn of the top hitters of Qingdao High School.

Seeing such an arrangement, all the supporters who heard the high school have already issued a cry for revelry.

In the stands, Akiko Owada, a reporter from Baseball Kingdom Magazine.

She looked at the players at Seido High School in a daze, especially Sawamura on the pitcher's mound.

Feeling comfortable to death.

"It's worthy of Qingdao High School, it's really stable."

I don't know if she said this to Qingdao, or if she specifically said it to Sawamura.

Fujifu next to him nodded with emotion.

Listening to the thunder in a silent place is even more thrilling.

The two teams just played each other, and ordinary people really can't notice it. Fortunately, as an old bird among journalists, Fujifu also has a set of equipment of his own.

What did Fujifu clearly perceive from that set of equipment?

He can't say the specifics, but just now the two teams have gone through a very fierce round of confrontation.

In such dark turbulence, Sawamura Eijun was able to judge the situation.

On the occasions where it is needed most, bring out the best strength.

This alone can be said to be a well-deserved Great Demon King.

Be able to step up when the team needs it most.

This is the temperament that an ace pitcher should really have!

Sawamura is undoubtedly the best ace pitcher in the country, and at least one of the best ace pitchers in the country.

As for Kawaki in Shonan, his strength is also very good.

But the heat is always a little worse......

If there is no comparison, it will be fine, and there is a comparison of Sakae Village there.

No matter how good he is, no one can see him.
