CHAPTER XXXIV

"Superintendent, Sawamura's performance in these games has been very good, exceeding expectations."

Deputy Minister Takashima pushed her glasses and said in a complicated tone, in fact, to be honest, she does have recognition and expectations for Sawamura, but the performance of Sawamura's feedback to her is far beyond expectations, just like the strength she originally hoped Sawamura would have in the future, Sawamura now has such strength, which will make her panic, afraid that he will overdraft his career as a player like Chris.

"I understand, arrange a four-school round-robin tournament for the Second Army, and invite the top 16 schools. And when Chris went for a physical check-up, he brought Sawamura with him. ”

The presence of Sawamura's strength in any school is enough to make the school ecstatic, especially a school like Seongdo that does not have a decisive pitcher, but Chris's matter weighed on the hearts of the overseers like a stone, and they no longer wanted to see any potential child get hurt.

When the superintendent issued the notice of the joint round-robin competition of the four schools, the members of the Second Army understood that this time was an important part of assessing the qualifications for promotion to the First Army, and they must do their best to give full play to their strength, and the atmosphere of the Second Army changed all of a sudden.

And the members of the First Army are also speculating about which ones can be promoted to the First Army this time, and during this period of time, the good news of the Second Army has been coming, resulting in some people in the First Army being emotionally unstable and playing abnormally in the game, and many people have been supervised and demoted to the Second Army.

"Who do you think will come this time?"

Ryosuke senior asked with a smile, he and the other few people are probably the ones who are the least worried about being relegated,

"Chris will definitely be back."

"Ah, he's rested long enough."

"......." This is a valley that doesn't care who enters the first army, he just needs to be himself.

"Chris's predecessor is one, and I think Sawamura should come up as well." Miyuki calmly analyzed on the side.

Hearing Sawamura's name, Shibuyani's expression changed, this student of the same level who had a throwing and catching drill with him had a lot of time to hear recently.

"Sawamura, well, it's very likely, it looks like he's doing quite well in the Second Army."

"Woo Ka, Ozawa Village is very powerful."

"In this way, Ryosuke's predecessor's Oudoudou should also be okay, I heard that the strike rate is good, and the garrison is quite strong, isn't the substitute of Ryosuke's predecessor also relegated to the second army, it seems that it is a dragon fight."

"Who knows, but if he can't even get in, it only means that he only has that level."

"Wow, it's so strict, although Ryosuke's predecessors have always been strict with people.,But how do you feel stricter with your brother.。 Kuramochi Yoichi on the side thought secretly in his heart, but when he saw the eyes of Ryosuke's seniors sweeping over, he instantly stopped, and his squinting eyes were terrifying.

Regardless of what everyone else thinks, the practice match of the second army has started hotly, and the time is just when the first army is out to play, and they can use the two courts to their heart's content.

Seido's first opponent in the round-robin tournament was Hilla High School, a veteran high school with a reputation for being steady, and the defense was excellent.

At the beginning of the first inning, Kiyochi attacked first, and the pitcher of Hilla High School was their ace Saotome Akisuke, and the decisive ball was a screwball, and he was full of energy from the first inning, relying on the characteristics of the spiral ball to constantly guide the hitters of Seido out of the game.

The subsequent Aomichi defense also returned the color to them, standing on the pitcher's mound is Rong Chun, he and Chris decided that this round robin will continue the previous health game, in fact, this is also arranged by Coach Kataoka, if Rong Chun's number of pitches is enough, you can consider letting him play twice, so Rong Chun and Chris have made sufficient preparations for this round robin game.

In the first game, Rong Chun went up and down Qiu Liang High School three times, and the score was 0-0.

The match between Seido High School and Hilla High School felt like it was a defensive game, and neither of them was able to steal a point from the pitcher or the guard.

"The garrison is really not covered."

"Well, it's strong, but there's still a loophole, so let's aim there and pitch the ball and keep pleasing you, Sawamura.

"Understand, wrap it up with me."

The strength of Qingdao High School lies not only in their sophisticated equipment and heavy training, but also in their brains that are never rigid, just like now, without supervision and command, they can still use their own experience to find problems and solve them. They can sacrifice a few rounds of points to probe, to find loopholes, and then to deliver a fatal blow to their opponents.

In the first half of the fifth inning, the first hitter was the three-batter Omachi senior, who pulled to the right field in the face of Saotome's screwball and successfully went to second base. Then there was the four-batter Chris, who aimed at the gap between the second and third bases and hit it accurately, and now there were people on the first and third bases, and the hitter was the five-batter Tanaka senior who cleared the home run line, and he grabbed a sweeter straight ball and hit the point where the rear block and the blue road galloped first.

No one is out, there are people on third base, and Kominato Haruichi, who has a very high hitting rate, stands in the strike zone, poses well, and blocks the inside corner, and the pitcher of Hilla High School discussed it for a while, and decided to throw the inside corner spiral ball at the first grade who hit the outside corner into a first base hit on the previous dozen seats, and looked at the inside corner kick that flew towards him, and it was done. Kominato took half a step back and hit an inside corner over the head of the second baseman and flew over it to form a second base.

I don't know if it was the ambition to be beaten out by the first grade, so that Saotome's pitching returned to some level, and she used the spiral ball to strike out the seven and eight batters of the Qingdao in a row.

Jiu Bang Rongchun was the hitter who struck out in the last game, but Qiu Liang High School didn't dare to be careless, and still threw a very offensive inside corner, but unfortunately, the hitter in front of them was not afraid of the ball at all, even if it was a close-range ball that was about to hit the hitter.

Rong Chun quietly stared at the pitcher in front of him, exhaled slowly, and then watched the ball roar, twisted his body violently in front of him, and used the power of his waist to take the ball out, and the baseball flew to the right fieldfield at a very fast speed and then passed through the right fielder's glove, landed, and formed a far-reaching hit, and Qingdao added another point.

In the first half of the fifth game, the score was 6-0, and Qingdao played a full circle.

In the next two innings, Rong Chun ushered in the crazy counterattack of Qiu Liang High School, and under a mistake of the first baseman, Rong Chun ushered in a crisis situation where there were people on the first and third bases.

No one is out, the batter is a four-batter, this batter almost hit a home run with Rong Chun's ball on the last hit, looking at the four-batter who is staring at him, the momentum of his whole body seems to say, 'Shoot, shoot.' I have to say that Rong Chun was stimulated by him, and in the face of the beater's desire to face off head-on, he looked at Chris's seniors and waited quietly for his code.

Chris is 18.44 meters away from Rong Chun, he can see Rong Chun's face clearly, a bright smile, but his eyes seem to be burning with flames.

In fact, in Chris's thoughts, Rong Chun should have been impatient for a long time, although Rong Chun's pitching is easy to lead to a catch, but which pitcher doesn't yearn for strikeouts, especially when facing the opposite four bats, Chris smiled slightly,

'Come on, Sawamura, throw your best ball and let's finish him off.' ’
