Chapter 41: Here I Come! (3rd Update)

"I'm coming!"

The duel restarted, and Kataoka directly replaced Chris, standing in the referee's position.

Chris wanted to take off the protective gear, and Kataoka shook his head: "No! ”

He was just like that, without any protective gear, and stood behind the catcher Miyuki: "Let's start." ”

What starts?

Such Kataoka scared Miyuki's cold sweat out, don't you know how much psychological pressure you put on the pitcher? Originally, the advantage of the third grade is not small, but is it too much to pull the bias like this?

Miyuki wanted to say something, but looking at Kataoka's iceberg-like face, he didn't know what to say.

With his knowledge of his own supervision, Kataoka certainly did not do it without reason.

The biggest possibility is to test Sawamura's guts, what kind of ball can Sawamura throw in the face of such Kataoka? It's just strange that Sawamura has won the national championship twice, although he is the hegemon of the soft ball league, but his psychological quality and endurance don't need to be tested, right?

Or does the superintendent want to see Sawamura's pitch more clearly from the referee's position?

"Partner, you have to shoot well, the next few balls are likely to become an important assessment of whether you can take over as the ace in the future!"

Miyuki thought and gave Sawamura a code.

Make good use of the previous ball, and the next ball, be more cautious.

Like Miyuki, Kataoka's intentions were seen by Chris, and he was very emotional. Sawamura, who has just entered school for less than a month, has already embarked on the road to the trump card. Of course, there is a reason for Tanba's poor form, but the root cause is Sawamura's pitching, which is enough to make people look sideways.

Come on, show off your pitch and impress the overseer.

Second Goal: Over-Speeding Straight Ball Straight

It looks exactly the same as the one you just did, but the path is completely different. The timing is different, the ball path is different, the variation is different.

It depends on how to choose as a senior.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura nodded slightly.

At this time, he didn't have Kataoka in his eyes, and he didn't think as much as Chris and Miyuki, he only had Miyuki's gloves in his eyes, and the opponent in front of him.

Be quick! Faster!!!

The ball should be fast, but the movement should be soothing, and it should look natural and non-threatening.

"Let's go, you !!"

Like a ball thrown carelessly, the small white ball looks like a rocket that is constantly propelling, and it is in front of Yusei in the blink of an eye.

Here it comes!

The momentum of the whole body suddenly soared, and it hit the flying baseball.

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki's pupils suddenly widened, this ball, too sweet, will be swept out.

Sawamura may have paid too much attention to the power of the ball, and there was a deviation in the possession of the ball, and the position of the ball was too easy to hit.

Sure enough, he hit the ball with a swing.

"Ping!"

It swung like a lightning bolt and hit the flying baseball hard.

Finished!

There was some despair in Yu Yu's eyes, but the next development was beyond his expectations.

The white ball, after being hit, hits the ground in front of the pitcher's mound.

Sawamura pounced like a hungry tiger and covered the bounced baseball with his gloves.

"Out!"

In the fourth game, three up and three down, Sawamura won this round.

Both sides 2:2.

Miyuki glanced at Sawamura in surprise, not understanding how this trick had changed.

In the position of the referee, Kataoka saw very clearly, just now, in an almost hard-hitting situation, Sawamura's pitch showed the power of not losing to the formation of a swing. Add the influence of the previous change ball to have the immediate result.

But even so, the ball that was just formed was amazingly fast, and it was difficult for the average pitcher to adjust and hold the ball after throwing the ball.

And Sawamura did it!

"Good!"

Kataoka seems to be pleased with this result.

"Who won?"

When he asked, everyone was telling the truth.

Flat!

"Flat?"

Kataoka seems to be very dissatisfied, how can it be flat, someone has to lose?

"Yes, it's flat!"

Everyone is basically happy, especially in front of Kataoka, one is more honest than the other, and everyone is flat. Gentlemen clash, peace is precious.

"That's not going to work, one more round."

Kataoka disagreed and asked for an extra match.

"In all competitions, there is always only one team and one winner who can go to the end. The same should be true of your duels. ”

This is called choking, and all the words have come to this point, so no matter what, the fifth round will continue.

"Then you can discuss tactics."

Sawamura had some broken jars and falls, and there was no way, and he fought the same fighter five times in one game. In the experience of Sawamura's previous life, it has never been. This kind of duel is too passive for the pitcher.

"In the last round, it's a game to decide the winner."

Kataoka offered to offer.

Yes, yes!

The superintendent spoke, and naturally everyone had no objections. You're the boss, and you're in charge.

formed, the increase is eager to try.

Minato, Izzo's eyes also glowed, and even Chris looked very interested.

Kataoka, who was wearing sunglasses, ignored them and walked up to the strike zone alone.

"The last one, I'll come!"

Pitch duel, heads-up, one-on-one.

Sawamura plays Kataoka Tetsushin.

Kataoka's move stunned everyone. They don't understand, what does it mean for Kataoka to stand in the strike zone at this time?

You're clearly going to give away someone's head!

Kataoka is a coach who was a player when he was a student, and until he graduated from college, he was a very famous baseball player, and even received invitations from several professional teams.

Even since graduating from university, Kataoka has not had a serious pitching duel with someone for five years.

No matter how much strength you have before, once you haven't touched the bat for too long, then your striking strength will definitely decline.

Judging from Sawamura's pitching performance just now, isn't he an opponent who can challenge the superintendent when he is in battle?

"Overseer!"

"Coach!"

"Mr. Kataoka......"

Friends and Ota must open their mouths to persuade.

Kataoka was playing instead of a third-grader, which was really uneconomical. You say you're going to win, there's no credit, the teacher wins the student, isn't that a matter of course?

But if you lose, you'll lose face.

Kataoka obviously didn't care about any of this, and after making his suggestion, he stood in the strike zone and looked at Sawamura with unblinking eyes.

"Come on, then!"

The corners of Sawamura's mouth curled, since Kataoka himself wanted to do this, Sawamura naturally had no reason to object.

Kataoka himself came up to find abuse, but Sawamura didn't mind fulfilling it.

With a plan, Sawamura Shi Shiran walked up to the pitcher's mound and prepared to fight.

Miyuki and Chris glanced at each other, and finally Miyuki put on the trapper's clothes and stepped into the trapper's position.

In the fifth round, Sawamura's heads-up Kataoka match is about to begin, and this heads-up journey, which took nearly an hour, has come to an end.
