Chapter 13: The Strikeouts Without a Swing (Part 3)
"Ha~huh~!"
In the strike zone, the second batter of Didong High School gasped for breath.
The ball that Sawamura Eisuki had just thrown kept coming to his mind.
Even if I had deliberately done simulated practice with a pitching machine before, I still felt significantly different when I actually stood in the hitting zone and watched Sawamura's pitching.
Without any warning of the pitch, the ball flew out suddenly. And he stood in the strike zone and watched, the speed of the ball was scary.
Originally, watching the first batter easily touch the ball, he thought that even if he couldn't hit a hit, he would still have no problem touching the ball.
It turned out to be nothing like that.
Not to mention touching the ball, he couldn't even swing the bat.
Tainyima is scary!
The second baseman at Teidon High School seemed to be very shaken.
For this result, Miyuki was a little annoyed.
He seems to be a little too optimistic about the beaters of Didong High School, the team of Qingdao High School has just been formed, and the team of Didong High School, why is it not the case?
Their best battle-hardened third-year seniors have also retired.
The main players who are now on the field are all second-year players, and although their strength is not weak, their experience is bound to be insufficient.
In the face of such an opponent, the first ball is used with a floating ball, which is obviously a bit wasteful.
Forget it, waste is waste.
In any case, the opponent is Didong, and throwing an ordinary straight ball is always not reassuring.
The second ball, the regular Carter ball in the inside corner.
Sawamura is the left pitcher, while this second batter at Teto High School is the right hitter.
From his point of view, Sawamura's Carter ball is very amazing.
Sawamura, who was on the pitcher's mound, nodded slightly after receiving the code, and then pulled the ball out of his stance.
"Whoosh!"
The little white ball flew at the hitter.
The beater's face was slightly pale.
He looked at the ball flying in front of him and wanted to make a shot, but he couldn't do it. From his point of view, the ball was coming at him. How can he swing such a ball?
The players of the wealthy high school still have backbone after all.
Faced with this ball that was about to be smashed on him, the beater of Didong High School did not retreat a single step.
It seems that he has made up his mind that even if he takes a shot, he will go to base.
The determination was good, but the ball didn't really hit him.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
In the blink of an eye, Sawamura Eijun had already scored two good balls.
In the face of such sharp two balls, the second batter of Didong High School, let alone touching the ball, he couldn't even swing the bat.
In the rest area of Teidon High School.
Coach Okamoto was furious.
"You idiot, swing the bat! Swing the bat! Swing the stick!! ”
As a hitter, even if you are knocked out, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
But it would be too embarrassing to be stupid directly by the opponent's pitching, and he couldn't even swing the bat.
It's no wonder that Okamoto is angry.
The beater listened to the words of his own superintendent and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Why wouldn't he want to swing the bat? But you also have to be able to swing a stick!
In this situation, where does he have the opportunity to swing the bat?
Just as the beater was stunned, the white ball passed through the beater's hand like a laser light, and landed firmly in Miyuki's open glove.
"Smack!"
"Good Ball !!"
"Strikeout!!
The referee's voice on the field was mixed with a little trembling.
Despite being in the Tokyo area, this was his first time as the referee for a Sawamura match.
Not to mention the beaters on the field, even he was confused.
Throw too hard, and don't give people time to react at all.
As soon as the game is out, there is someone on first base.
He had already made a gesture of eagerness to try and was ready to steal the first base, until his teammates were struck out, and there was no chance to steal the base.
Before each pitch, Sawamura would glance thoughtfully in his direction.
That glance is enough to make runners feel cold all over their bodies.
He had a hunch that once he did get out of the bag, then he would definitely be out.
Either it will be blocked outright, or it will be touched and killed here.
Anyway, it's all death!
In such a situation, he could only watch his teammates get knocked out by strikeouts in the end.
In the rest area of Teidon High School.
Coach Okamoto was banging in a rage, and he had just been beaten by a strikeout.
"You're an idiot, how can you not even swing a stick, and you're completely stupid by the other party? What a shame! ”
The old man is already 65 years old this year.
This age is not too big for the elderly. But when it comes to the profession of baseball coach, it's definitely second to none.
Although he is very old, the anger in him has not diminished back then. In the words of the old man, the contestant is the flame.
When the players first started to enter the team, they were all firewood, and the old man, as a coach, had to light them one by one and let them burn their own flames.
Of course, there are occasionally the kind of players who don't wait for him to ignite it, and then burn it themselves.
For example, Mukai Sun.
Didong High School won the national hegemony twice before, just because there were such players in the team.
A good pitcher can indeed lead the team forward.
It is precisely for this reason that he attaches so much importance to Xiangjing Sun. The status of Mukai's ace had been determined long before the summer, and now that the third-year players had just graduated, he directly handed over the No. 1 back number to Mukai.
With such players in the team, Okamoto has high expectations for this match.
Although the opponent is Seido High School, which has just won the national hegemony, it is the most popular opponent in high school now.
But Coach Okamoto is convinced that they will not lose.
Even if the opponent is Sawamura Eijun, who is known as the Great Demon King, they will not lose.
High school is not the same as middle school.
Coach Okamoto was ambitious and wanted to tell Sawamura this.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the game began, they were educated by Sawamura Eijun.
In the face of Sawamura's pitching, his proud disciples, let alone knocking the ball out, even touching the ball became a luxury.
Of course, if you want to conquer the Great Demon King, it will definitely not be so easy.
Okamoto still knows this.
If he just doesn't score in a short period of time, he can't tolerate it, but if the hitter doesn't even swing the bat, he really can't bear it.
I've seen a shame, but I've never seen such a shame.
It's just a shame, and the most terrifying thing is that after the duel just now, Sawamura's power has been fully revealed.
Others are fighting against Sawamura Eijun, and they will unconsciously imagine Sawamura Eijun in their minds as the kind of opponent that is difficult to overcome.
In such a situation, they may take it for granted that they can't get a hit.
