Chapter Twenty-Five: The Final Struggle

After saying that, Sawamura Eijun's task was completed.

The reason why Superintendent Kataoka and Coach Ochiai put the two newcomers in such an important position in today's game is also painstaking!

The high school journey of the two was really smooth. was originally a star player, and then entered the Seido High School, which is now the strongest in the country.

That's pretty awesome in itself!

The two of them were stunned on a very good basis, and they went one step further. In the spring competition, he was promoted to the main force of the team.

For all first-year players, the ideal start would be to be promoted to the first team before the summer.

Wait until the fall of the first year to become the main rotation in the team.

Wait until the fall of the second year to become the core player of the team.

This is a powerful high school player, the most reliable way to enter the giants.

To put it bluntly, those who can go to the end step by step will become very good players. Just like the seniors of the previous class of third-year, as long as they are the main players who stay at the end, they have become star players.

Go back and look at Yuki Shoji and Wang Xi again!

The path they are taking now is much smoother than that of the seniors at Qingdao High School before.

You don't have to wait until the summer, you have already been promoted to the first army in the spring. And the position in the first army is becoming more and more secure......

Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai were both relieved and a little worried.

It's really that the path they took was too smooth, is it possible that because it was too smooth, they would underestimate baseball in high school. From a psychological point of view, this is not impossible. On the contrary, there are very few players like Eijun Sawamura who can adjust their mentality by themselves.

After some hesitation, the two decided to let them see the cruelty of high school baseball.

That's why they chose the third high school of the city university!

Only this opponent is weighty enough, enough for these two young players to see the difference in strength.

Of course, the reason why they have the confidence to do so must have been to consider the possible accidents of this matter.

After all, they made a lot of sacrifices in the process. Since the sacrifice has been made, there will definitely be losses.

First of all, they completely gave up on scoring after four strokes......

But even so, they are still confident that they can defeat the three high schools of the city.

It may not be accurate to say this, but the most accurate statement should be that they believe that Sawamura Eijun has the ability to complete the line of the city's junior high.

In fact, only when Sawamura Eijun was standing on the pitcher's hill would they dare to play like this.

Otherwise, if one is not good, the chickens and eggs will be light.

This point, as the team's ace, Sawamura Eijun, naturally understands it more clearly. Even he knows a lot about the good intentions of Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai.

It's just that it backfired, and today's game was not played according to the script that Kataoka Supervisor and Coach Ochiai had thought of in advance.

He wasn't able to hit the ball out, but he wasn't the only one who didn't hit the ball at Seido High School.

Apart from him, more than half of the Seido High School players have not been able to produce results in their strikes.

So far, the ones who have really been able to show their strength offensively.

That is, Yoichi Kuramochi, Sawamura and Miyukiichiya.

Even Xiaominato, Hakushu, and Qianyuan, these three very powerful players, did not succeed in attacking Tianjiu Guangsheng,

Of course, it is a shame to form a general, but in comparison, such a result for him is not unacceptable.

If they had to find a reason, they could only blame their opponent Tianjiu Guangsheng today, who was too strong.

If things just go this way, even if the goals of Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai are not fully achieved, they can still achieve some of them.

But the accident happened to Wang Xi.

Wang Xi not only won the hit beautifully, but also a well-timed hit.

It's awkward.

What a powerful old student can't do, a freshman is stunned to hit the ball out.

Isn't it a joke that you want people to experience the cruelty of high school baseball?

Although the situation of the game became more and more favorable for Seido High School, no one could laugh at either Supervisor Kataoka or Coach Ochiai.

Their carefully prepared plan came to naught.

It is also for this reason that Sawamura Rongchun will take the initiative to stand up and communicate with the two elementary school brothers.

In such a game situation, they do not feel the good intentions of the supervisor and the coach.

Since there is no such thing as the right opportunity, the right occasion, the right time and place.

Sawamura Eijun can only find a chance on his own!

He pointed out the problems of the two junior brothers directly, as for these questions, did the two junior brothers really listen to them?

That's their own business.

As the senior of Qingdao High School, helping the younger students on the side is also the inheritance of Qingdao High School.

Sawamura, whether in his past life or in this life, is deeply touched by this.

He also once received the guidance of Chris Senior, who became a senior and Ryosuke Kominato......

Now he also wants to share his experience with his junior students, hoping that they will understand.

Of course, the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual.

As for what Sawamura Eijun said, how much can the juniors understand? That's not something Sawamura can control.

There are some things, and that's it. It's good to have a clear conscience, and don't force it if you have more.

While Sawamura was instructing the elementary school students, the game on the field took a new turn.

Yoichi Kuramochi, who was the first to stand in the strike zone, performed very well before. The first scoring opportunity of Qingdao High School was created by him.

But this time, he was clearly in trouble.

The Celestial Light Saint has completely unlocked his vertical slider and matched it with his normal slider.

The power suddenly increased by one level.

There are not only horizontal changes, but also vertical changes.

The whole good ball band becomes wide.

Although Kuramochi tried his best, he couldn't get the ball out in the end.

"Whoosh!"

In the end, after entangled five or six balls, Tianjiu Guangsheng relied on an extremely sharp longitudinal slider to force Kuramochi to swing his stick and miss.

Knocked out by strikeouts.

"Strikeouts !!"

When I saw Yoichi Kuramochi being struck out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became loud.

It was the supporters of Qingdao High School who were originally high, but they unconsciously weakened a lot in momentum.

The cheering atmosphere of the audience also has a lot to do with the performance of the players on the court.

In the current situation, it is really difficult to keep their morale high.

In the rest area of Seido High School.

Everyone's faces were tense, and no one took the initiative to jump out and say anything at this time.

This Tianjiu Guangsheng is like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, according to the previous attack rhythm of Qingdao High School, if it was other pitchers, he would have been defeated at this time.

But what about this guy?

Not only did it not mean to be crushed at all, but it became more and more violent.

Let these friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team be helpless for a while.

"It's weird, this guy's pitching looks stronger than it did at the beginning!"

"When he first started playing, he was still easy to touch the ball. By now, he has gradually lost his decisive goal. ”

"Heavenly Light Saint! This guy is undoubtedly the top pitcher in the country! ”

The friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School, in the case of the absolute advantage of the game, the discussion topic is more objective.

Yukiichi is already doing a hand warm-up, and he is not involved in everyone's statement.

Sawamura Eijun even picked up the bat.

With Yoichi Kuramochi being knocked out by a strikeout, it was the turn of the second stick Kominato Haruichi to come on the field at this time.

As the third baton of the team, Sawamura Eijun naturally has to step into the position of waiting for the strike zone.

Stepping into the position waiting to be scored, Sawamura did not prepare as before, but waved the bat in his hand over and over again.

The pitcher's mound, Akusa Kosage, naturally noticed Sawamura's different performance.

"Don't worry, Mr. Great Demon King! Deal with this guy in front of you, and I'll treat you well. ”

He muttered, and then set his eyes on Kominato Haruichi.

In the previous few duels, Kominato Haruichi did not show any decent performance except for a tactical blow.

It doesn't seem like it will take much effort to solve him.

But Tianjiu Guangsheng didn't dare to be careless, his eyes exuded a focused and serious light.

Until now, Tianjiu Guangsheng didn't dare to underestimate any of the players in Qingdao High School.

For a loss like Wang Xi's before, he only needs to eat it once.

Now, he no longer dares to be as careless as before.

No wonder the ancients said that the goshawk and the rabbit must use all their strength.

If you don't give the opponent a devastating attack at the beginning, it is likely that you will suffer in the end.

When pitching, Tianjiu Guangsheng seemed to use all his strength.

Kominato Harushi, puffing out his cheeks, looked at the dark luck of the Tianjiu Guangsheng on the pitcher's hill.

In the first game of the day, he was also extremely dissatisfied with his performance. So I secretly swore that I must hit the ball out.

Sawamura-san! Takeya Xiao!!

In the past, they were three people who had been promoted to the first army before the summer of the year.

Two people were already walking ahead, pointing the way like beacons.

Of course, Kominato Haruichi didn't want to be the one to be left behind.

In the past few months, he has continued to improve his swinging speed. The goal is that no matter how sharp the opponent's ball changes, he has to catch up with the swing of the bat.

Now it's time to show the results of your blows.

Now is the time!

Seeing the pitch of the Akuru Sage flying over, Kominato Haruichi's eyes lit up.

From previous observations, the number of times that Tianjiu Guangsheng used the ordinary slide ball was more than the number of times he used the straight ball and the longitudinal slide ball combined.

That is, just lock the ball onto a normal slider.

Then he has more than a 1/2 chance of winning the bet!

Of course, it's useless to just bet on the change of the ball.

The most important thing is to block the opponent's ball.

I like to use the inside corner!

This is the discovery of Kominato Haruchi!

It was also a discovery that only he could exploit.

Seeing the flying white ball, Kominato Haruichi unceremoniously pulled away and hit the ball cleanly.

"Ping!"

After the white ball was hit, it flew directly to about three meters away from the first baseman.

Very good!

The distance of this ball is between the first baseman and the second baseman, which is a small gap.

But no matter how small the gap is, it is also a gap!

As long as this little white ball can be rushed out, it is a super long hit!

It's a pity that the ball that fell in the gap was stopped by someone.

It's first baseman Hoshida!

He leaped sideways and slammed the ball with his glove.

Then pass the ball back to first base.

Tianjiu Guangsheng also moved one step ahead and went to first base to fill in the position.

"Smack!"

"Out!!"

There is no suspense, and Kominato Harushi is out of the game cleanly.

The situation became two outs, and no one was on base.

Waiting for the strike, Sawamura walked up to the strike zone with a bat.

Originally, the supporters of Qingdao High School thought that this time there was a great chance to end the game early in seven rounds.

But now it seems that it is difficult.

The city is three high, and it is worthy of being a veteran giant. Their garrison is also among the best in the country.
