Chapter Twenty-Six: Immortality!
When you close your eyes, you can feel the cheers of every cell in your body.
This feeling is so fascinating!
Although when he was a rescue pitcher, Sawamura Eijo was very unwilling, after all, his ideal was to be an ace. But every time he stood on the pitcher's mound and faced off against the beater, Sawamura was extremely obsessed.
This feeling is worse as an ace pitcher. The environment that an ace pitcher has to face is not necessarily the worst in a game.
But rescue pitchers are different, rescue pitchers are generally sent on the field when other pitchers have collapsed, especially if an ace pitcher has collapsed.
And this situation is often the time when the team faces the greatest crisis.
The most dangerous time to face the monster fighters of the major leagues.
In this case, Sawamura Eisumi stood on the pitcher's mound with an indescribable sense of intoxication.
He liked the feeling, the tension of every cell in his body beating. Some people are naturally afraid of competition, they are afraid of all kinds of situations, and someone will challenge them. When it comes to the game, I can't help but get nervous and play abnormally.
Sawamura Eijun is also a flesh-and-blood person, of course he will be nervous, but he likes this tension immensely.
In this feeling, the 10 trillion cells in his body are all cheering.
I have to say, Kenen Matsumoto is really a good fighter! Playing against such a hitter can remind Sawamura of his previous life, when he pitched in the major leagues.
How did Matsumoto Kenen know that he had inadvertently displayed an aura that had awakened a sleeping lion.
It's a bit of a misappropriation to say that he is a sleeping lion, and it is even more appropriate to say that he inadvertently awakened a demon.
Now that the demons have awakened, as the opponents on the demon field, they will inevitably suffer.
"Whoosh!"
Without any fancy superfluous moves, Sawamura's pitch shot.
The white ball, like a jumping elf, can faintly let people see its trajectory, but if you look carefully, you can't figure it out.
It's a little hard to say, but it's true. It didn't look like it was very fast, but it was actually amazingly fast.
If you're catching the ball with your eyes before swinging it, it's too late!
This was the case with Kenen Matsumoto, who swung his bat and bit the ball according to his previous rhythm.
According to his instincts, he should have hit the right shot. But in fact, he didn't even touch the ball hair.
The baseball took a step forward, passed through the good ball belt, and got into Matsumoto's glove.
"Good shot!"
The ordinary straight ball actually made Matsumoto Kenen, who is known as the No. 1 hit in Nagano Prefecture, miss the swing. The scene in front of him, even in the eyes of the brothers of the Red Heart Brotherhood, is a bit mysterious.
Of course, they wouldn't care about such an illusory outcome.
No matter what the process is, as long as Sawamura Eijun can solve the opponent perfectly, as supporters, they will cheer up.
"Akagi! Akagi! Rong Chun!! ”
……
With just a good goal, Sawamura drew cheers from the entire stands.
As spectators, they didn't seem to be worried at all that Sawamura's ball was hit. Even if his current opponent is one of the best fighters in the entire Nagano Prefecture, Kenen Matsumoto.
In the stands, the coach of Nagano Metropolitan High School and several players were silent.
As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway. The audience at the scene could cheer simply because Sawamura Eijun let Matsumoto Kenen's swing miss. But they can't, they see something deeper.
"What a pure straight ball!"
Mari, who was combing her braids, moaned hesitantly.
The Tsuchihara next to him was a little unclear, and Tsuchihara also realized the extraordinaryness of Sawamura's pitch just now, but he couldn't tell him what was extraordinary about Sawamura's ball.
"A straight ball, as the name suggests, is a ball that is thrown from the pitcher's hand and goes straight to the catcher. Because the trajectory of the run is a straight line, it is called a straight ball. But no matter how good the pitcher is, after the ball is thrown, it will inevitably be affected by the gravitational pull of the earth: there will be a certain drop and deceleration. Of course, some pitchers with fast ball speed and superb skills can also use the way to increase the spin of the ball to make the ball float to a certain extent. Sawamura Eijun's previous float ball is to use wrist pressure and high leg lift to increase the rotation of the baseball and let the ball achieve the effect of floating. Of course, this kind of floating ball is not the same as the straight ball that Eijun Sawamura threw just now. As mentioned earlier, in addition to the effect of dropping, pitching also has a slowing process. From the pitcher's mound pitcher to the catcher's glove, the total length is about 18 meters. In the process of flying, the ball must first accelerate and then decelerate. ”
"Could it be that Sawamura Eijun throws the ball, and when he passes through the good ball belt, the ball is still accelerating?"
Tsuchihara asked incredulously.
It is said that after the ball is shot, the distance to accelerate to peak speed is very short. Because everyone is different, the distance you can accelerate to the fastest ball speed is also different. But even so, Tsuchihara has never heard of someone throwing a ball more than ten meters and still accelerating.
"It's not necessarily an acceleration, but at least when the ball reaches the hitter, it doesn't slow down too much."
Feng Xiang Long Yi said affirmatively.
Because there is no slowdown, the baseball is far faster than the real ball speed when viewed from the strike zone.
As an experienced baseball coach, Feng Xiang Long Yi knows very well that a pitcher with such a pure straight ball is even more terrifying than a pitcher with simple ball speed and floating.
Just when he thought that he had a high opinion of Rong Chun, Sawamura showed even more terrifying power at this time.
In the face of such a terrifying opponent who was already standing at the top of the county and was still evolving, Fengxiang Long Yi even had a sense of powerlessness.
Fengxiang Longyi felt powerless, standing on the court, and Matsumoto Kenen, who faced Sawamura head-on, felt more real.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Kenen Matsumoto has felt this way.
It feels like Kamisawa Village has become extremely tall, like a titan giant. And himself, turned into an unarmed warrior.
He has a fighting spirit, but he is not an opponent at all.
"Whoosh!"
Kenen Matsumoto was immersed in his own powerless frustration, and Sawamura's second goal came unceremoniously.
Matsumoto subconsciously swung his bat, and then watched as the baseball flew over his bat.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
The second ball is a floating ball that catches people off guard.
The sense of powerlessness in Matsumoto Kenen's body became stronger.
Just when he was about to despair, Sawamura's third goal came.
Matsumoto was weak to swing the bat, so naturally he didn't touch the ball.
Three swings, three misses.
Kenen Matsumoto was struck out, but he was not out.
At this time, Jun Matsumoto, who has been working well with Sawamura, missed it.
There was an immortal strikeout!
