Chapter Eighty-Six: The Man Who Bears the Name of the Demon King
Aota was able to hit Sawamura Eijun's change ball so cleanly, which exceeded everyone's expectations.
Miyuki, who was in the trapper's position, narrowed his eyes tightly, revealing a gap full of danger.
His brain is like a Longwei computer, running desperately.
Everything that had just happened kept coming back to his mind.
Sawamura Eisumi struck the second stick of Shonan High School, and the momentum of Seichi climbed to the peak.
Supposedly, in this case, it is difficult for the next hitter to swing the batter on the first ball.
In case the ball is not hit, or if the ball touches and does not stop. The consequences are very serious, and Qingdao High School took this opportunity to seize the initiative on the field in one go.
And not surprisingly.
So the level of their first ball is not very high.
Just a slider in the outer corner!
There is the bottom of the second baton of the previous strikeout Shonan University, and the opponent should be more cautious in the face of the same type of change ball.
No matter what angle you think about it, the other party should not choose to swing the stick at this time.
But it's very strange that the opponent swings the bat on the first ball!
And it was calculated that Sawamura's pitching angle was accurate.
Aota's goal at the beginning was an outside corner.
And that's not even the most surprising because of the rhythm and ball power of Sawamura itself. Even if Aota guessed Sawamura's pitching position, he didn't hit the ball too well.
If they had prepared in advance, they might have stopped the ball.
But for that goal, they weren't prepared.
The opponent changed the angle of his swing and hit the ball that should have been hit to first base, and flew it to third base.
And the gold pill of the third base did not react at the first time. By the time he reacted, the baseball had already flown out in front of him.
This created a critical situation with people on first and third bases.
The pitch was guessed!
There was also a mistake in the garrison.
It looks like the goddess of luck is really going to abandon Qingdao.
Miyuki's eyes narrowed, then reopened, looking at Sawamura on the pitcher's hill.
"All this is not a coincidence."
Starting from the second stick of Shonan University, they have continuously guessed the inside and outside corners.
It is impossible for a coincidence to happen three times in a row!
In other words, Shonan High School must have found a flaw in Seido High School.
But what is that flaw?
Is the code being seen through? Or was there some small action of Sawamura that was spotted?
At this moment, let's take a look at the rest area of Shonan High School. Especially when I saw the monocular in Matt's hand.
Miyuki felt particularly awkward.
It's as if someone has seen through some of my privacy.
Sawamura on the pitcher's hill is exactly what Yukiichi thinks.
Although he didn't figure it out, what exactly is the problem?
But there are some things that can be deduced.
For example, the direction of your pitch has been seen through!
The opponent made three consecutive guesses, and not only because they adapted to Sawamura's pitching rhythm. The more important reason is that they knew from the beginning where Sawamura's ball would go.
As for Kanemaru's mistake, it was mainly because the angle of the pitch was seen through, which triggered a chain reaction.
One person is out, one or three bases are available.
The situation has never been more critical.
Shonan High School stood on the fourth batter of the strike zone, Noma, and put on a short strike posture from the beginning.
It looks like the ambition is going to win, and you have to get a point.
It's very easy to score when there are people on first and third base.
At this time, Shonan universities gave up the possibility of continuing to expand the score, and it is not impossible to score a point.
It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers.
The players of the Baseball Club of Seido High School understand this, and these guys from Shonan High School also understand it.
And Sawamura and Miyuki, so far, have not figured out how the other party sees through their pitching position?
The two have a very tacit understanding of the ball, and sometimes they don't need a code at all, and they know what to throw with a tacit look.
So the other party shouldn't have seen through any code.
Or some small move by Eijun Sawamura.
At first, Yukiichi did think about it, but he quickly denied it.
If Sawamura throws a certain kind of ball with a specific small action, then it should only be a kind of ball that is being targeted.
All three ways of the ball are targeted, and it is impossible for Sawamura to have three small moves and be completely seen through, right?
An ace who led the team to dominate the country twice in middle school?
How rich is the actual combat experience, and how strong are the opponents you are facing? There are really so many small actions, and they have long been played to death.
This shouldn't be possible.
So on what basis did they speculate that Sawamura pitched?
Yuyuki's brain is desperate for fate, and the heat of the rotation even exceeds that of Alpha Dog's CPU.
But there is never a right answer.
But a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.
It was a match last fall, Seido High School vs. Wanggu High School.
Wang Gu's strength is really average.
But that game left a very deep impression on Sawamura and Miyuki.
Think of Kanemaru's mistake again.
Could it be?
A bold guess appeared in Miyuki's mind.
It's just that now it's a situation where there are people on first and third bases, and it's too late to verify it.
They had to rack their brains to come up with a way first, and they couldn't let Shonan University score first.
In a stalemate, the team that scores first will gain a huge advantage.
Qingdao High School must not give up this advantage.
Stop it! Be sure to stop it.
Do I need to use a Level 4 Change Orb?
At a critical moment, it is necessary to come up with a secret weapon.
Miyuki, who made a judgment, looked up at Sawamura on the pitcher's hill.
The Sawamura in front of him is something Miyuki has never seen before.
He had a cold face, and there was no expression on his face.
Miyuki knows Sawamura very well.
Although Sawamura Eijun didn't say a word now, his eyes had already expressed his meaning.
That's disapproval.
His partner is arrogant, and he would never want to use his fourth-level lore ball on such an occasion.
"Then you should be confident, right?"
Miyuki looked at Sawamura with trust.
He is very aware of his partner's character, and since Sawamura Eijun doesn't think it's necessary, then he must have already figured out a strategy for the fight.
Sawamura nodded slightly, then suddenly spoke loudly.
"The garrison behind you will be handed over to everyone, and I will let them keep fighting!"
Sawamura has said this many times, but most of the time, it is at the beginning of the game.
Like this, halfway through the game, such a slogan was suddenly shouted.
It feels weird.
However, the friends still responded positively.
"Let them call!"
"We're going to stop it."
In the rest area of Shonan High School.
Overseer Matt, who had been smiling, suddenly stiffened his face.
He had a hunch that the routine just now couldn't last forever. The players and supervisors of the Baseball Club of Seido High School should soon be able to spot the flaws.
But he never thought it would be so soon.
Sawamura, who is known as the Great Demon King, not only has a set of pitching, but also has a keen observation of the game situation.
"It's really enviable!"
Matt eagerly looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, and it was a pity that he was not able to coach such a player himself.
It's just that his stage has been set up, and then he only needs to sing step by step.
"How are you going to stop it?"
He stared at Sawamura without blinking, as if he was afraid of missing something.
In fact, Matt didn't know that although Sawamura gave the right instructions, he didn't really find out what the problem was.
The reason why Sawamura wanted to mobilize the emotions of his teammates was only because Kanemaru made two mistakes in a row.
He doesn't want such a mistake to affect the rest of the team's games.
Noma made it clear that the carriage and horses were to be short-fought now.
Sawamura doesn't mind much about this.
As Sawamura made a cryptic signal, the players began to take forward guard.
Now the runner on third base is Kojima, and it is very likely that they will use the method of forcing points.
In order to prevent future troubles, it is necessary to use pre-emptive guards at this time.
Seeing the actions of the players of the baseball club of Seido High School, the players of Shonan High School were greatly relieved.
They are actually very afraid that Qingdao High School will not play cards according to common sense at this time, so that the routine they prepared before will not be used.
Seido High School was able to take the previous measures, it was just perfect!
This tactic was practiced countless times before the game.
Next, just implement it step by step.
Come on!
With a plan in mind, Noma also raised the bat again.
It looks like he's going to face off against Sawamura Eijun.
Such a bold momentum is appreciated even by fans.
Many people stood up and applauded excitedly.
Although the result of the duel has not yet come out, the two of them can do it so really.
It's also enough to get everyone's adrenaline pumping.
They can't wait to see the outcome of this big battle.
Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, after arranging everything, decisively threw the ball.
Before he threw the ball, he deliberately stared at the runner on third base.
Kojima wasn't intimidated this time, because he didn't think about stealing the base from the beginning.
Tainyima is scary!
As long as he thought of Sawamura Eijun's containment just now, he was shocked.
He finally ran to third base, and he didn't want to make a fuss.
And you don't have to steal bases to score.
Overseer Matt already has a more refined plan.
It's like now.
"Ping!"
The little white ball was touched and bounced.
Noma, who waved his stick, flashed a trace of joy in his eyes.
It's a great feeling!
If you don't really stand opposite Sawamura Eijun, you will never know how terrifying this great demon king is.
He was able to determine whether he was shooting inside or outside, locking in the range of his strike.
The help in getting Sawamura's ball out was undoubtedly huge.
If it weren't for this kind of help, it would not have been easy for Noma to hit the ball out.
"Whoosh!"
The baseball that was hit bounced high and reflected into the air.
