Chapter 16: The All-Powerful Demon King (Part 3)

Pitcher mound.

Sawamura's right foot was raised high, and then fell down like a tomahawk, with an imposing momentum.

As the center of gravity of his body shifted, the glove in Sawamura's right hand, like a shield of an ancient warrior, was obscured in front of his body.

He used the glove to push away all the resistance in front of him, and then the arm of his left hand swung like a whip.

"Whoosh!"

In the striking zone, Sawamura's entire pitching action was very awkward. But the strange thing is that with such an awkward pitching action, Sawamura did it very smoothly.

The small white ball appeared as if it had suddenly appeared to the hitter.

For this point, the players of Heungnam High School have also been prepared for a long time, and before the game, they used the pitching machine to push forward to simulate the pitching of Sawamura.

This effect is still very good.

Because the pitching machine is pushed forward, it seems that even a 140-kilometer ball will become extremely fast in the strike zone.

And once the hitter gets used to the striking practice in this way, he can quickly adapt to Sawamura's pitching posture when facing Sawamura's pitching.

Just like now.

Sawamura's pitching has gradually been adapted to the third batter of Hennam High School.

After getting used to Sawamura's pitching stance, he was ready to shoot Sawamura's straight ball.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Just when the third batter of Hungnam High School chose a straight ball, Sawamura's straight ball flew over.

Here it comes!

Seeing the white ball flying over, the third batter of Xingnan University was overjoyed.

Bet on it!

Sawamura had three strikes before, and there were eight other people from Heongnam High School except for the first stick.

So in his heart, he should look down on Xingnan University.

With such a belief, the third batter of Heongnam High School is desperate to believe that Sawamura will definitely throw a straight ball!

Of course, it is not ruled out that Sawamura will continue to throw quirk balls to change~

If Dansawamura continues to throw quirk balls, this peculiar change ball will definitely be gradually adapted.

Sooner or later, Heungnam colleges and universities will come up with a way to deal with it.

In order to avoid this situation, and also to increase the difficulty, Sawamura will definitely mix straight balls in the quirk ball reform.

Of course, this kind of thing is the same as gambling, although the hitter chooses a straight ball, Sawamura just doesn't shoot, and he can't do anything.

Now, since Sawamura has thrown a straight ball, it means that he is very lucky.

Come on!

A powerful swing of the bat, as if to evacuate the air in the strike zone.

At this time, the beater even used the strength to eat milk.

In any case, he must hit the ball out, preferably with a home run.

Only by winning hits from Sawamura, and even scoring points, will Heongnam High School have a chance to fight back.

"Ping!"

The bat struck the baseball with precision and sent it flying hard.

Until this time, the beater's face was still full of joy.

He guessed correctly, and Sawamura's throw was indeed a straight ball.

It's just that......

The little white ball flew high, and this one flew really high.

The eyes of tens of thousands of people in the audience were on this small white ball and followed it to look high.

And then it went down again.

Although the ball flew high, it didn't seem to hit far.

The direction in which the baseball fell, unexpectedly unbiased, was exactly the position of the pitcher's mound.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura adjusted his position slightly, then opened his glove and held the small white ball firmly in his glove.

The swallow is home!

This scene is all too familiar.

In the previous competition, Torajiro of the Okinawa Tigers had made the same move three times.

On the pitcher's mound, catch the hitter and hit the high flyer.

The game begins at the moment the ball leaves the pitcher.

And then it's over, and it's the moment when the ball returns to the pitcher's glove.

The swallow is home!

The name is not without reason.

On the pitcher's mound, the corners of Sawamura's mouth cracked, revealing a somewhat satisfied smile.

Truth be told, he's enjoying the feeling now.

Tens of thousands of people in the audience were silent.

Everyone looked at Sawamura as if they were staring at an unknown creature.

"Demon King!"

"Demon King !!"

However, this enjoyment is destined to last only for a short time.

That is, two or three seconds later, the brothers of the Demon King's Praetorian Guard had already reacted and began to call out the Demon King's name.

At first, he was just the brother of the Demon King's Praetorian Guard, and later he added the brothers of the Red Heart Brotherhood.

Later, all the audience who supported Seido High School, as well as the audience who were conquered by Sawamura on the spot, all shouted together.

The entire upper part of the Jingu stadium resounded with a tribute to the Demon King.

Later, according to the people of Hyogo Prefecture, they could feel the madness on the Koshien Stadium even from a distance of ten miles.

"What if this accidentally causes an earthquake?"

An 80-year-old farmer was very worried and asked the organizers of Koshien about it.

Of course, this is a later story, so let's not mention it for the time being.

When Sawamura successfully replicated Torajiro's milk swallow homecoming, the scene was already overwhelmingly supportive of Seichi!

As for the own people in Xingnan University, their faces were stunned.

Their trust in their ace pitcher is still very high.

Even if the opponent is Qingdao High School, it is the big demon king Sawamura Rongjun.

None of the people at Hung Nam University thought that they would lose first in this pitching battle.

But the reality is so cruel.

Sawamura's success in replicating the bird's nest means that he already knows Torajiro's pitching perfectly!

As a result, Torajiro had to face an extremely difficult challenge next.

Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.

When Sawamura returned to the rest area, Kataoka and Ochiai immediately surrounded him.

Even these two overseers couldn't understand what the trick was in Sawamura's pitching just now?

"Actually, it's very simple, the straight ball thrown by Torajiro floated up slightly."

This, how is this possible?

For the answer given by Sawamura, the first feeling of everyone at Seido High School was that it was impossible.

Even Torajiro can control the upward float of the white ball!

How can he control that the high flying shot by the hitter will definitely fall to the pitcher's mound?

"That's what I didn't understand before."

Sawamura replied with a smile.

Let the beater hit the infield and fly high, this thing, Sawamura can do it himself.

So at the beginning, when Torajiro first showed the milk swallow returning home, Sawamura suspected that there was a small upward float in his straight ball.

By increasing the spin of the straight ball, it is not very difficult to make the straight ball float up.

Pressing your wrist like Sawamura is the easiest way to do it. In addition to wrist pressing, if the pitcher deliberately practiced, it was possible to achieve the same effect without pressing the wrist.

Torajiro, that's the case.

He can control the number of spins of the straight ball to a certain extent.

This allows the straight ball, slightly floating, and allows the hitter to hit high.

Of course, if you want the ball to land accurately above the pitcher's mound, that's not enough.

He also needs the cooperation of the beater.

"Meet the three conditions for the nest to be returned, the first is to increase the number of spins of the pitch, and the number of added spins cannot be more or less. The second is to ask the hitter on the court to hit with high accuracy. For this reason, in the process of pitching, Torajiro even deliberately slowed down the speed of the ball, so that the hitter could see more clearly and play more accurately. Of course, there is also the third, the direction of the pitch will definitely be concentrated in the center. In this way, the ball will be unbiased near the pitcher's mound after it has been hit high. ”

Sawamura has just been able to replicate perfectly, and the milk swallow has returned home. In addition to his own good ball control, I have to praise the accuracy of the third batter of Hungnam High School.

Without his selfless cooperation, it would have been difficult for Sawamura to perfectly replicate the return of the milk swallow.

Only if the hitter accurately aims at the center of the straight ball and accurately hits the center of the original straight ball.

Such an unbiased high flying ball is possible.

Torajiro's terrible is that even the striking strength of the beater himself is calculated.

Rao is a pitcher like Sawamura who has been in the big leagues, and he didn't think it through for a while.

After all, no professional player would do such a bold approach!
