Chapter Twenty-Four: The Blue Road All Day
Lose your marbles!
The first batter of Chiba High School, I feel like I'm going crazy.
How could it be the most ordinary straight ball?
It shouldn't be.
In the rest area of Seido High School.
Chen Ping also sweated hard for Sawamura Rongchun's pitching.
That shot was too dangerous.
Even if the fighters of Chiba High School are not strong, they are also a strong team in the Chiba region.
The heritage is still there.
140 km, a straight ball in the middle, should not be able to stump them.
If the beater just swung the bat, the probability of him hitting it is still very high.
Fortunately, he didn't swing the bat, so it was Qingdao High School that earned a good number of balls.
"Don't be careless, you kid!"
"Pitch !! carefully"
A few substitutes in the rest area who have a good relationship with Eijun Sawamura began to cheer him on!
The tone of the cheer was not friendly at all, but rather like schadenfreude.
In fact, looking at the expressions on their faces, it does mean that.
They're just gloating right now.
As for Sawamura's state, they weren't worried at all.
"It's dangerous!"
Chen Ping muttered.
Yui Xun glanced at Chen Ping, smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry, that goal just now, Sawamura-senpai did it on purpose."
"What?"
Chen Ping looked at Yujing Xun in confusion, and then turned his head to look at the friends around him.
He wasn't stupid either, he quickly thought of something, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
If there is really a problem with the pitching state of Senior Eijun Sawamura, are these companions around him too calm?
Could it be that there is anything in the ball just now that I haven't discovered?
Yui Xun explained with a smile.
"The reason why Eijun Sawamura just shot the ball on target was because they had already expected that the hitter would never shoot at this ball."
"Such a god!"
Chen Ping couldn't believe it.
Yui Xun nodded affirmatively.
That's how God is.
The ball just now should be the secret word that the senior Miyuki saw the flaw and then gave Sawamura seniors.
But then again, after seeing such a code, Senior Sawamura Eijun dared to throw a straight ball without hesitation.
It is also very much courage and trust.
Obviously, he trusted the judgment of Miyuki-senpai very much, and if he hadn't trusted Miyuki-senpai's judgment, he would not have been able to throw such a ball anyway.
And this is what I am lacking the most now.
How can you win the trust of Sawamura and Shibuyani?
It is the problem that Yui Xun must face now. If this problem is not solved, there will be no way for him to succeed Yukikazuya.
The beater of Chiba High School, in a panic, has been completely led by the nose by Yukiichi.
Eijun Sawamura easily took the first number of outs, knocking out the hitter with three strikeouts.
"Swinging a baton at such an obvious bad ball..."
"Is there that much pressure on the hitter from the pitcher?"
"As it turns out, the pressure should be quite high."
The first hitter was knocked out, and the second hitter was also affected by the first hitter.
He realizes that Sawamura's ball can't wait, and as long as he sees the white ball flying over, he must immediately swing his bat.
That's what he thinks, and that's what he does.
Seeing Sawamura Eijun throwing the ball, he swung the stick directly.
"Ping!"
Not to mention that he was lucky, he really hit the ball.
It's just that the ball that was hit didn't play well and bounced back head-on on third base.
"Kanamaru!"
Miyuki Kazuya, who was in the catcher position, immediately reminded Kanemaru to guard.
Without waiting for Yu Xing to speak, there was already a vigorous figure who acted in advance.
When it comes to the strength of the guard, Kanemaru is definitely the number one in the current Seido High School baseball team.
He effortlessly pulled the bounced white ball into his glove and passed it straight to first base.
"Smack!"
"Out!!"
Clean, two outs counted to hand.
Eijun Sawamura on the pitcher's mound looks particularly relaxed.
The superintendent of Chiba High School looked at Sawamura Eijun with admiration in his eyes.
It's really worthy of the Great Demon King.
It was so easy to take a full two outs from their team.
The contest between the two sides is like an adult teasing a child, and the combat power is not a level at all.
That's amazing!
It's also a good thing that Seido High School is not a school in Chiba Prefecture, otherwise they would never have thought about entering Koshien.
The strength of this school is too strong, and it has far exceeded the level of high school.
The superintendent of Chiba High School even wondered if there was any team in the current high school team that could match Seido High School.
The game continued, and Eijun Sawamura naturally won the third number of outs.
This number of outs is easier to take than the first two out numbers.
Sawamura was knocked out with a light pitch.
"Ping!"
The small white ball that had been hit rose high and landed in Sawamura's glove.
Swiftlets return home.
Today, not only the media, but also many students from Chiba High School came to watch the game.
The devil knows when the holidays are out, why are they still in school? In short, there were many people who came to watch the game, and there were at least hundreds of people in total.
These people were all holding mobile phones to record, and someone happened to record the scene.
After the recording, the man immediately uploaded the video to the school forum.
"Chiba High School was shocked to see the milk swallow returning home!"
Immediately, the post was pinned to the front page of the campus forum.
Let the student who posted this post also become famous.
Sawamura Eijun's milk swallow homing was not actually invented by him. But because Sawamura Eijun is too famous, this move has become his signature.
Everyone is also more willing to believe that this signboard belongs to Eijun Sawamura.
As for the original creator, who cares about that?
In the second half of the first game, it was Seido High School's turn to attack.
"Ping!"
Kuramochi, who hit the first bat, hit the ball straight out.
This guy, who has always won with speed, relied on his own striking strength very rarely, won a hit, and then successfully hit base.
He was the offensive engine of Seido High School, and once he managed to get on base, Seido High School's entire line came alive.
Next, it was the turn of Kominato Haruichi to play the second bat.
"Ping!"
It was the same clean swing, the same ball was swept away.
This time, Qingdao High School did not use any tactics of stealing bases, but used a hit-and-run.
It seems to be risky, but Qingdao High School implements it, but it seems to be confident.
It's no wonder they have such self-confidence, the blow is really beautiful.
Kominato Haru, cleanly won the hit.
Kuramochi ran to third base.
The situation became that no one was out, and there were people on first and third base.
At this time, the beater of Qingdao High School was Sawamura Eijun's turn.
Chiba High School's casting partner, the brain is completely confused at the moment.
They really don't know what to do with the situation in front of them?
The eyes of the helper were on the overseer in the rest area.
It's not any team, and the game is judged by the players themselves.
It's like Chiba High School, which is now playing against Qingdao High School, and a large part of their judgment is done by the overseer.
The supervision of Chiba High School is also at a loss at the moment.
The game has just begun, and it seems a bit inappropriate to escort Sawamura Eijun now.
And even if you escort Sawamura Eijun, what can you do?
Next, they still have to face Miyuki Kazuya, whose strength is definitely not weaker than Sawamura Eijun.
There is no point in running away!
The overseer of Chiba High School quickly realized this, and then he decisively gave instructions to his disciples.
Since there is no point in escaping, let's break the boat.
If the determination to break the cauldron is the result of the players of Chiba High School. Then their performance is also very likely to shine.
But this determination is what they oversee.
The determination imposed by the supervision on the players is not so obvious.
With apprehension, the pitcher of Chiba High School threw the white ball in his hand tremblingly.
He tried very hard to show that he wasn't scared at all.
But his trembling body betrayed him.
When he pitched, he didn't have any confidence at all.
Pitching without confidence is like throwing without a soul.
When the baseball flew over, Sawamura's eyelids lifted slightly, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
The power of the ball is weak.
This is not a subjective judgment on the part of Eijun Sawamura, but a fact.
When the baseball flew in, it didn't have any energy at all.
Very good, really very good.
If such a ball, Sawamura Eijun lost it. Nazawamura Eijun might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.
In the face of the flying baseball, Sawamura Eisan unceremoniously waved the bat in his hand.
"Ping!"
After being hit, the white ball flew high and landed far beyond the parapet wall.
He scored a three-point home run beautifully.
Seeing that the pitcher was about to collapse.
But no one expected that after this, the pitchers of Chiba High School would let go instead.
Anyway, it's already like this, no matter how embarrassing it is, where can you throw it away?
With this mentality, the pitcher's pitching becomes very easy.
Even Sawamura Eijun can't help but admire his kind of pitching.
Not everyone can bounce together after a home run hit.
On the baseball field, there are many pitchers who have been hit a home run and collapsed.
This trump card of Chiba High School, although the overall strength is not strong, but the mentality is not bad.
But it didn't work.
In the face of the strength of Qingdao High School, they still quickly collapsed.
Four points in the first game, two points in the second game, and five points in the third game......
By the seventh inning of the game, Seido High School had a 17-point lead. This is still the result of seeing the score continue to widen, and the players of Qingdao High School deliberately showed mercy. Otherwise, the score on the field will be even more exaggerated now.
Chiba High School also took a few hits from Eijun Sawamura.
That's a lot, there are three of them.
But it didn't help.
As soon as a hitter hit base, Sawamura's pitch immediately felt like a different person.
He's no longer so careless, but a wholehearted strikeout.
Once he's serious, just a normal straight ball is scary enough.
There is a big difference between Sawamura, who throws with all his might, and Sawamura, who keeps throwing as usual.
Not to mention that after his pitching posture changes, the ball speed will increase by one level.
Chiba High School, which has no preparation, can be said to be helpless in the face of such a ball.
As for the occasional change ball, it made them feel a deep sense of despair.
Not an opponent at all!
The practice competition with Seido High School is of great significance to Chiba High School.
They have found many shortcomings in themselves, and if the fighting spirit of the players is enough, after making up for these shortcomings, I believe that their strength will go to the next level.
In Chiba Prefecture, this is not a place in the fierce battle zone.
It's no surprise that they made it all the way to Koshien.
For the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School, they also really feel their strength.
In the last two games, Seido High School changed the bench again.
Shibuyani replaced Sawamura Eijun on the pitcher hill.
Such an arrangement is completely simulated by actual combat.
Akira Shibuyani is the main substitute for Eijun Sawamura.
In the vast majority of cases, Sawamura Eijun mainly votes in the second half.
If there is a need for rotation, it will be Akira Shibuyani who will replace Eijun Sawamura.
He's doing pretty well as well.
The speed of the ball is like opening the hanging, which makes people very speechless.
I've just seen Sawamura Eijun's ordinary quirk ball, and I've seen this super violent ball speed again.
The players from Chiba High School are really convinced.
It's not okay if they don't accept it, they can't even hit the ball.
was directly taken down by Gu Xiao and won six strikeouts!
And that's not all, the last two games were won by three points.
The aggregate score became 20:0.
This score does not mean that Chiba High School is really bad, it can only be said that Qingdao High School is too strong.
I think that when I was in the Koshien quarterfinals, the troll Otomaki High School could beat the opponent 10:0.
It is not difficult to see that the top giant teams in the country are the same as the average strong teams.
The gap in strength is still very obvious.
