Chapter 71: Bullfighting (Part 2)
When Sawamura offered to participate in the bullfight, Kanemaru refused in his heart.
The semi-finals are about to begin, so what if something happens to Sawamura and Kuramochi at this time?
After that Kanemaru returns, I'm afraid I'll have to die to apologize.
It's not that Kanemaru is arrogant.
He himself was injured, and it shouldn't have any serious impact on the entire Seido High School baseball team. But Sawamura and Kuramochi are different, and if either of these two is injured, it will be a very significant loss for Seichi.
Especially Sawamura, the ace pitcher.
Once he is injured, the strength of the entire Qingdao High School will be weakened by at least thirty percent.
"Forget it, it's going to be a game soon!"
"You're still not a man, are you? Such a mother-in-law's. ”
Kuramochi pouted disdainfully.
For a male friend, even if he has not yet reached the age of 18, he will never accept such an insult.
The egg dies and the bird is facing the sky, and it will not die for thousands of years.
When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, and the ace pitcher and main shortstop on the team are not afraid, what is he afraid of as an insignificant rotation main player?
"Come on!"
Originally, Kanemaru was expecting it in his heart, but Sawamura was just joking.
After all, in Kanemaru's impression, Sawamura has always been a very measured person.
He wasn't really that reckless.
But he clearly overestimated Sawamura.
He didn't play in the previous game, and the fire in Sawamura's body had already ignited his whole body.
If he can't find an opportunity, he can't find an opportunity, of course he has to vent.
Looking at Kanemaru's worried eyes, Sawamura shook his head with a wry smile.
"Life never knows which one comes first, the unexpected or tomorrow. Do you understand what I mean? ”
As expected, Kanemaru shook his head.
"Drinking cold water can choke people to death, is it because of this that we don't drink water? Playing basketball is a possibility of injury, isn't it different to play baseball? We don't play baseball for this? ”
The risk is under control, what does Sawamura want to do?
Of course, if the risk is high enough, that's a different story.
Blindly chasing risks and thrills, without thinking about safety at all. That's irresponsibility to yourself, to the team, to your agent, to your boss.
It's also irresponsible to the fans.
But the risks of playing basketball are comparable to the risks of practicing on a regular basis.
Sawamura is not so pedantic that even this has to be taken care of.
"Count one of us!"
The half they chose was the smaller half.
In the other half, there were six or seven teams lined up, and there were only three teams on this side.
Of course, there is a reason why this is the case. The level of the three teams here is obviously much stronger than the six or seven teams.
Naturally, those people don't want to come here to find abuse.
This gave Sawamura a chance to play against the masters, and they didn't have to wait too long.
The rule of bullfighting is to use the half court of the basketball court to divide into two teams, one team of three people to play the game.
The first to get 10 points wins, and the three-point shot counts as 2 points.
Sawamura's request was quickly granted.
It looks like they're also an improvised team, and they're eager to play against a new opponent.
After a while, the showdown on the field was over.
It was the very tall three who won.
By observation, Sawamura can also generally determine that this pair is the strongest of the three teams.
First of all, they have the advantage of height, and they should also be sports players. Although playing basketball is not professional, relying on physical fitness and good matching, the strength is obviously above the other two teams.
"Be careful!!"
Kuramochi's intuition is very accurate, and the moment he sees his opponent, he has a judgment in his heart.
The strength of these three guys in front of him should definitely not be underestimated.
"It's okay!"
Sawamura himself is very confident.
According to the rules of bullfighting, Sawamura, who is the challenger, they tee off first.
Kanemaru and Kuramochi, usually in physical education class or during recess activities. Both are activists, and the two know each other's strength.
On the contrary, Sawamura doesn't usually play much, and the two also have serious doubts about his strength.
So Sawamura took on the heavy responsibility of serving.
Sawamura actually has a lot of complaints about this, but there is no way.
Three people played, and when the other two people signed up for the group, Sawamura could only be willing to play a supporting role.
Kuramochi's actions were very professional, and the other party obviously regarded him as the target of key defense.
The strongest, the man named Kojima, is in charge of keeping an eye on him.
Sora has a strong physical fitness, and his basketball skills are relatively ordinary, and Kawaki is responsible for keeping an eye on Kanemaru.
As for the one who stopped Sawamura, it was Tanaka, who seemed to be balanced in strength and not outstanding in all aspects.
All three of them are more than 1.8 meters tall, especially the teenager named Kawaki, who is more than 1.9 meters tall.
Sawamura, Kuramochi and Kanemaru.
The height of the three is actually about 1.8 meters, and their height will not suffer as much as the previous two teams.
Kojima's strength is good, and despite the constant change of direction, he still can't find a chance to catch the ball.
Instead, it's Kanemaru, who looks like it's easy to catch the ball.
Sawamura had no choice but to pass the ball to Kanemaru.
"Smack!"
After receiving the ball, Kanemaru took immediate action.
First, a feint, a breakthrough to the right.
A tall boy named Kawaki followed and moved to the right of Kanemaru.
Then Kanemaru turned around with his heels, and his whole body came to the left.
After shaking off Kawaki, Kanemaru made a jump shot directly.
When unguarded, his pitching success rate is still very high.
Almost eighty or ninety.
Seeing that he was about to go down to the city first, the tall boy who was originally thrown away by Kanemaru turned back at some point.
He jumped behind Kanemaru, but he jumped to the high ground first.
The big hand fanned down like a fan, and the basketball was fanned out by the teenager.
"So high !!"
Kanemaru was dumbfounded.
The other party's height is ten centimeters taller than him, and with the arm span, it is almost 20 centimeters.
If that's all there is to it, it won't surprise Kanemaru.
What surprised Kanemaru the most was the other party's bounce.
Just now, the top of his head couldn't even reach the other party's chest.
In other words, the difference between the two in the bounce is at least 20 centimeters.
All of this adds up, so that the commanding heights of the other party are half a meter higher than their own.
Finished!
Anyone familiar with the rules of baseball knows that when the opponent has such an interior player.
It's hard to win.
Blocks are just a small thing, the most important thing is rebounding.
The difference in commanding height is half a meter, even if Kuramochi and Sawamura are a little stronger than him.
It is absolutely impossible to surpass this commanding height.
In this case, the probability that they will be able to take the rebound from the teenager in front of them.
will be minimal......
