In the first half of the fifth inning, the third-year seniors attacked.

The first one to hit was still the guerrilla Araki.

In today's match, Araki has played against Kawakami and Akira Shibuyani before. To put it bluntly, in this game, his role is an insignificant little supporting role.

In addition to his performance on the guard, he failed to deal with the pitchers on his previous two attempts.

At this time, all the resentment and regret he had accumulated before were gone.

The reason why I didn't become the main force of the team is not to blame others, the reason is all on myself.

I am indeed lacking in strength!

If everyone didn't hit the pitcher's ball, then there would be nothing to say, but in this world, they are not afraid of not knowing the goods, they are afraid of comparing goods, and compared with the other main players in the third grade, their role is really minimal.

Ryosuke Kominato, Jun Izaki, Tetsuya Yusaki, Krisyu Yu, Toru Masuko, Koichiro Tanami.

The six giants in the third grade, whether it is pitching or batting, they all show an extraordinary sense of presence.

In the fourth inning, he was stunned to score four points from a monster like Akira Shibuyani and a good pitcher like Kawakami.

The aggregate score reached an astonishing 4:2.

Aside from them, the rest of their third-year teammates can only be reduced to role players. They also play some role in the defense, and it is difficult to even cause problems for the opponent in terms of attack.

Don't look at the loss of two points, but the seniors in the third year know that if they really play, the freshman team may not score a point at this time.

The reason why the freshman Qingdao High School baseball team was able to score points easily was entirely because the third-year shooting partner never thought of escaping the showdown with the big devil.

If you really take the game seriously, when you realize that the pitcher has no strength to play against Sawamura, you can properly escort Sawamura.

The garrison could theoretically solve all problems by the pitcher alone. Although the real situation is not so absolute, most of the problems are okay, as long as the partners around him are not too weak.

This was the case with the Akagi High School baseball team before.

Except for Sawamura Eijun, the other players are qualified at best, and they are definitely not excellent, not even good.

But that still won't affect the defense of the Akagi High School baseball team!

That's the power of the pitcher, the weaker the team, the stronger the pitcher can play.

The role that garrisons can play in this is much smaller.

For example, Sawamura was a pitcher on the Akagi Middle School baseball team. Pair with a group of teammates who are in the middle of three or four points.

Their overall garrison can score 70 points.

Sawamura Eijun was able to more than double their garrison capabilities.

On the contrary, Sawamura Eijun is paired with a group of teammates of eighty or ninety points at Seido High School, and the overall defense score they can achieve is more than 90 points, and at most 95 points.

Sawamura Eijun's improvement in his teammates' abilities is only a few points. (That's a big difference.) ）

But the blow is different!

A person, no matter how strong his striking strength is, as long as the defending side is determined to avoid a duel with you, you have no choice.

That's the reality.

Unlike the freshman Seido High School, which relied on Sawamura and Miyuki to support the scene, the offense in the third-grade team was much more comprehensive in comparison.

Although there are a few character players, most of them have striking power and can easily perform well.

Even if the guarantee is completed again and again, there is no way to ensure that no points are lost.

There is no harm without contrast.

It was this comparison on the same court that made Araki realize the gap between him and the other third-year players.

No wonder he was the main force at the beginning, and he could only serve as a substitute, it is indeed too poor in strength!

Such a feeling, which has been waiting for him to go to the strike zone and face Sawamura, has not been completely removed from his mind.

However, it's also good!

Let him see what's the difference between the ace big demon king and Kawakami, and Kawakami and Tsukiya Xiao.

Although the third-year seniors have faced off against Sawamura Eijun many times, it is generally Jun Izashaki, Chris, Yusei, Ryosuke Kominato, and Masuko Toru their business!

It doesn't have much to do with these substitutes.

From the perspective of onlookers, they watched Sawamura's pitch countless times, but it was the first time that Masako Hachijing stood in the strike zone and watched.

Let him stand on the strike zone and take a good look as an opponent to see what the difference is between the Great Demon King.

Araki, who made up his mind, stared at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound without blinking, and then he saw Sawamura Eisumi raise his right foot high, and then his right foot fell down like a tomahawk, and his gloves kept pushing forward as the center of gravity of his body shifted.

Wait, something seems wrong.

How could he not see Sawamura's throwing hand at all?

I've heard that I've seen similar discussions on the Internet before. But when you actually see it with your own eyes, it still feels different.

No, not at all!

The body and gloves completely obscured Sawamura's pitching.

And then very abruptly, the little white ball came out.

Here it comes!

Araki's heart froze, and then he watched as the white ball flew over, watching the white ball burrow into Miyuki's glove.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!!"

When all of this was over, Araki swallowed hard, and then looked back at Sawamura Eijun on the pitcher's hill in disbelief.

It's horrible!

I had thought before that Sawamura Eijun's pitching must be extraordinary, but when I really looked at it in the strike zone, Araki couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

The ball was more terrifying and sharper than he had imagined.

It's like a beast that suddenly sprang out and caught you off guard.

And the most terrifying thing is this ball speed, he was dazzled just now? How does he feel that Sawamura Eisumun's pitching is faster than the valley drop?

Don't allow Araki to think too much, after Sawamura Esumi received Miyuki's return pass, he threw his second ball.

"Whoosh!"

It was even faster than the one just now, and the previous one was thrown into the outside corner, and it didn't feel real, and the ball went straight into the inside corner.

Looking at the baseball flying towards his chest, Araki subconsciously wanted to escape, but where was the time? He couldn't even move backwards, he could only watch the little white ball fly over.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

When he heard Superintendent Kataoka speak, Araki turned his head to look at Kataoka in disbelief.

Is that goal just now a good one?

Are you kidding?

That ball......

When he recalled, Araki was surprised to discover.

That ball, it really didn't seem to deviate from the good ball belt.

He turned his head to look at Sawamura Eijun in disbelief.

How fast does the ball have to be for him to have such an illusion?

I've seen the monster of Akatsuki Valley.,Kawakami's tricky.。

Araki originally thought that he had already seen the top strength in the country, and even if Sawamura Eijun was above them, he was only more perfect than them, and it was impossible to exceed them too much.

It was only when he was really standing on the strike zone that he realized how shallow his insight was.

Sawamura Eijun's toughness is far beyond his imagination.

It can even be said that he is not at the same level at all compared to Akira Tsukitani and Kawakami.

Beyond that!

And that's just a straight ball, no change at all.

Araki can't even imagine what kind of scene Sawamura Eijun's performance just now, if he throws a change ball?

This kind of scene, he saw it very quickly!

On the third ball, Sawamura threw a variable speed ball.

Araki swung the stick too early and missed completely.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

"Strikeout!!

……

The strong performance of the third grade ushered in Sawamura's counterattack.

The power of the demon king is in full swing!
