Chapter 51: The Wise Little Old Man

"Safety!"

Sawamura's hand properly touched the base bag of the home plate, bringing the atmosphere of the scene to the climax.

In the semifinals of Nagano Prefecture, Akagi Junior High School challenged King Tenryuji Junior High School in the face of Nagano's No. 1 pitcher, Haruka Nanami. Grassroots Akagi, in the second half of the first game, took the lead in overcoming him, breaking Haruka Nanami's unbroken golden body in this Nagano Prefecture Competition, and leading this game to a climax!

You must know that in the previous game, Nanami Haruka pitched on the court, but never lost a hit, let alone a point.

If it was just to create such a miracle, it would not be enough to make the audience so crazy. What makes them crazy the most is that the performance of the two teams in attack and defense just now is really exciting! It doesn't feel like a matchup between two middle school teams at all.

The first is Sawamura's crazy thief, he almost ignored the garrison of Tenryu Temple, and was completely brutal!

That's it, the almost suicidal way of attacking completely disrupted the garrison of Tenryu Temple, and was almost blocked twice, and Sawamura escaped twice by chance.

After Sawamura went to second base, Oda barely hesitated and used the strike escort. With one out, Sawamura was sent to third base safely.

As soon as it's out, there's someone on third base!

At this time, Tianlongji Middle School also had to be cautious. Speaking of which, at this time, they are also in a dilemma, and the third player is Feng Xiang, who is second only to Sawamura in the baseball team of Akagi Middle School.

As soon as it's out, there's someone on third base. In such a situation, Feng Xiang Aoyi can use a lot of striking tactics. He can choose to send Sawamura back to home plate in the form of a short hit, and at the same time, he can pretend to play a short shot and hit Haruka Nanami's ball normally.

You must know that Feng Xiang Okuichi was once one of the best fighters among his peers in the entire Nagano Prefecture. Such an opponent is playing the ball of his most familiar friend Nanami Haruka......

In such a duel, the people of Tianlong Temple Middle School naturally did not dare to have any carelessness. But the problem now is that they don't know what kind of attack Feng Xiang will take? Is it a short hit or a normal strike, if you know that he is a short hit, then there is no doubt that Tianlongji Middle School should move forward to guard, but the question is, what if he wants to choose a normal strike?

Just when the players of Tenryuji Middle School were confused. In their cowshed, a secret word was heard.

"Definitely take the number of outs!"

This instruction is very clear, which means that they are told to leave Sawamura on third base alone, and first make sure to take this number of outs from the hitter.

The players of Tianlong Temple, who got the order, decisively gave up the forward garrison and chose to guard normally.

Next, Feng Xiang used a short hit and Sawamura ran to home plate synchronously.

The two of them have a very tacit understanding and adopt the tactics of playing and running.

The ball was hit and landed in the infield, and Sawamura took the opportunity to return to home plate and score a point.

Next, on the fourth bat, Ken Yamaguchi was struck out, and the two sides exchanged offense and defense.

Everyone went back to their own cowsheds and made preparations.

In the cowshed of Tenryuji Middle School, their coach stood up.

The coach of Tianlong Temple is a thin little old man, about 1.6 meters tall, the whole person seems to be skin and bones, and there is no flesh in the whole body.

"Smack!"

After the little old man stood up, he directly gave the back of the head and a slap to the back of the head of Haruka Nanami, who threw the ball.

"Daddy, what are you doing?"

Nanami Yao looked at his coach aggrievedly, and there was no anger in his eyes, only confusion.

"Are you an idiot?"

The little old man, who is not big, has a good temper, and a pair of squinted eyes, like needles, pierced into Nanami Haruka's body.

"I ......"

Nanami Haruka wanted to defend himself, but he closed his mouth again.

"That idiot would throw two identical balls in a row? The other party is the one who hit three home runs in the first grade, and you shouldn't underestimate others. Although most of his strength is in pitching, it doesn't mean that his blow is weak, you give me a little self-knowledge. ”

"O~"

The old man's lesson, Nanami Haruka didn't dare to refute, so he could only admit his mistake in a low voice.

Solving the thorn of Haruka Nanami, the little old man looked at the others.

"I'm sure you've already learned about it through the game just now. Our opponents are strong! ”

Saying that, the little old man glanced at Akagi's team, especially Sawamura's body for a long time, before continuing: "Although there are only two or three people who are really strong, Akagi is still very strong, in addition to these two or three players, they also have a very experienced instructor. This instructor is very aware of the strength of their team and knows how to use their strength flexibly. In the following games, you don't have to think about it, you know, they will still use the previous lineup. Even if there is no one on base, they will leave second base free. The little old man hadn't figured out why they did this, but I had guessed something about what they relied on. ”

"Rely on what?"

Hirata asked strangely.

"Their pitchers, of course!"

The little old man looked like a god: "That garrison formation, to put it bluntly, is not complicated at all. All they relied on was their pitchers, and the outfield was almost empty, and as long as the ball kept hitting the outfield, Akagi was finished. They do this because they believe that their pitcher's pitch will not be sent to the outfield. ”

"Got it? The next thing you have to do is very simple, is to keep hitting the ball into the outfield, and then whenever the ball lands in the outfield, don't be polite, aim for home run. You have to believe that the players they guard are all novices, and even if they leave someone in the outfield (referring to Ken Yamaguchi who retreats to defend) and pass the ball back to the infield, the probability of making a mistake is very high......"

Nanami Haruka's face was strange when he heard this: "Dad, do you do this, bully people, right?" It's a bit mean! ”

"Shut up!"

The little old man's face changed, and he unceremoniously punched and kicked Nanami.

In the first half of the second game, Tianlongsi Middle School attacked.

This time, one of their players counted one, and they all held their bats very long and put on a posture of swinging the bats with all their might.

Feng Xiang's face was a little heavy, and he gave Sawamura a code.

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura nodded.

In his previous life, he really didn't remember much about the famous players and coaches in Nagano Prefecture. But even so, he had heard of the name of 'Zhisu' Yamano Hiromitsu.

The first head of Nagano Prefecture has always been Fengxiang Longyi. But the reason why he was able to gain so much prestige was because he later became a coach in high school and could show himself in Koshien.

When I was in middle school, the first head of Nagano Prefecture was Hiromitsu Tomoyamano.

Simply comparing the understanding of baseball, even if you add one piece in two lifetimes, Sawamura is far from being someone's opponent.
