Chapter 25: Pitching (2-in-1)
"Fourth bat, outfielder, Li Lei!"
When Li Lei stood in the strike zone, the enthusiasm on the scene had not yet subsided.
The players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, as well as the die-hard supporters of their team in the stands, were still waving their arms excitedly.
When I didn't play against the Yakushi High School baseball team, these Seido High School baseball team players and their team's supporters didn't have such a deep understanding.
They just know that the strength of Thunder City standing on the strike zone is not trivial.
I've won quite a few home runs before.
Even Zhenzhong, whose strength is extraordinary, has suffered at the hands of this guy.
But that's about it.
They think they're overestimating Thunder City's level.
The pitching that I really wanted, although it was good.
But when the Seido High School baseball team played against him in the past, it wasn't that they didn't win a home run from him.
Not only did Tetsu Yuki hit it, but even Miyuki took a home run from him.
So don't look at the outside world, Manaka is the top eight pitcher of Koshien again, and the ace of the top giants in the country.
Not for cows.
But for die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team, that's the same thing.
Thunder City can win home runs, and their players can also win home runs.
But I actually played against the Yakushi High School baseball team, and I really saw the swing of Thunder City in the strike zone.
The players of the Seido High School baseball team immediately changed their opinions about him.
With a fast ball of 150 kilometers, he can easily fly out.
This guy is simply a non-human, a complete monster.
It was because I saw his terrible.
As long as the thunder city stands on the strike zone, the players of the Seido High School baseball team. And those die-hard supporters of theirs in the stands.
There is a feeling of panic.
They even feel that their hearts may be able to jump out at any time.
No one thought of it.
Sawamura Eijun has just come on the field, and he has made such a great achievement.
Even if it's a coincidence, it doesn't matter.
Sawamura Eijun's three strikes at this time thundered the city, which was of great significance to the Seido High School baseball team.
They have all but broken down the line of play of the Yakushi High School baseball team.
Next, there are few chances left for the Yakushi High School baseball team to score.
It's them.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, including those die-hard supporters of their team in the stands.
For the next strike, they are full of confidence.
Although the Seido High School baseball team is not like other giants, there are all kinds of power hitters.
As soon as those monsters touch the ball, they can take it flying.
But the Qingdao High School baseball team also has its own characteristics. Each of them seems to have their own stunts.
Even taking out one of them alone is enough to give the opponent a headache.
Bring them together to form a line.
This line is definitely the top in the country, if not the most efficient in scoring.
As supporters of the Seongdo High School baseball team, they have such self-confidence.
So don't look at the current score between the two sides, it's still 3:2.
But in the eyes of the die-hard supporters of the Seongdo High School baseball team, they have seen the hope and opportunity for victory.
All you need to do is turn it all into reality.
"In one go, let's solve each other!"
"I pitched well today, don't let me down."
Standing on the pitcher's hill, Sawamura Eijun has just solved the thunder city, and his performance is not excellent.
But the people on the Qingdao High School baseball team don't seem to be at ease with their pitcher.
Even if they were still in the middle of the game, they did not forget to tell Sawamura not to make mistakes.
"I'm not a kid anymore, you guys, you're so annoying!"
Sawamura Eijun's heart was indignant.
Obviously, his performance on the pitcher's mound is no worse than that guy who is Xiaoya Gu.
But every time that guy comes on.
Whether it's their teammates or the fans in the stands.
There is always a lot of anticipation.
They are all looking forward to the fact that Akira will be able to throw faster balls and strike out cleanly.
Even if he misses, the die-hard supporters seem willing to believe him.
But here is Eijun Sawamura.
Whether it is those friends of the Second Army, or the fans in the stands, including the seniors in their rest area.
The performance of Sawamura Rongchun is all worried.
Even if Sawamura is doing well on the court, they don't look at ease.
This fueled the anger in Sawamura's heart.
He became more focused when he pitched.
He has to throw the ball that impresses everyone.
As a partner.
Of course, Yukiichi was aware of Sawamura Eijun's state.
He didn't stop it.
Whether it's vindictiveness or something else
As long as it can stimulate the fighting spirit of the pitcher, and does not damage the pitching state of the pitcher.
Miyuki won't stop it.
The current Sawamura Rongjun, although there is unwillingness in his eyes.
But he didn't give up in the slightest.
When he pitches, he can still bring out the characteristics of his pitching perfectly.
That's enough.
Because of this, Miyukichi didn't say anything.
He just crouched down and stretched out his gloves.
"Whoosh!"
A white baseball, in a flash.
Looking at the baseball that rushed in front of his eyes, Li Lei's eyes opened suddenly.
From his point of view, the ball was much faster than usual.
Why is this happening?
Before Li Lei could think about it, the white baseball had already passed in front of his eyes.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
Although he couldn't make a move, Li Lei also got the information he wanted.
It's no wonder that Thunder City will stumble.
Originally, this kind of opponent who had fought once, Thunder City was easier to deal with the opponent.
No one expected that in less than two months, this guy named Eijun Sawamura would be upgraded again?
Originally, his quirk ball was very tricky.
Take the last practice game they played, although in that game, it was the Yakushi High School baseball team that won.
But they didn't get much of a point.
From this, it is not difficult to see how much impact Sawamura Eisun's quirk ball had on them?
Now, two months later.
Sawamura's real ball speed has increased, and his ball speed has reached 133 kilometers.
As a first-year rookie, this ball speed is already very dazzling.
If it weren't for the fact that he happened to be on the same team as Akira Shibuyani, Sawamura's pitching speed would definitely be paid more attention.
Not only that, but he also learned a new pitching stance.
Cover the pitching arm with gloves and body.
Sawamura Eijun was naturally soft, so when he waved his arms, he didn't wave them straight like everyone else.
Rather, like a whip.
In this way, the arm of his pitching is already more difficult to see than others.
After learning a new pitching stance, Sawamura Eijun is even more powerful.
"Within two months, I was promoted by two levels!"
The ball speed has been increased, and the new pitching posture has been fully mastered.
You know, the previous Sawamura Eijun was already quite difficult to deal with.
When the Yakushi High School baseball team played practice games with them, they played relatively passively.
Now.
This pitcher, who was already very tricky for them, was suddenly improved so much.
"You have to treat it well!"
When Sawamura's second ball came over, Li Lei took a decisive step.
The bat in his hand also swung it over.
It seems that Li Lei is very decisive.
However, he was still a step slow.
Before Li Lei's bat was swung out, the white baseball reached Miyuki's glove first.
"Smack!"
"Two good balls, zero bad balls!"
Li Lei's face was a little unbearable.
He took so much effort, but he didn't expect it to be such a result in the end?
Not to mention taking hits, he didn't even touch the ball.
"You can't be in a hurry, it's the wrong time to swing the stick!"
Li Lei secretly warned himself in his heart.
The more he was in such a crisis, the more he had to keep a cool head.
As long as he can guess the opponent's match, he still has a certain probability and can hit the ball.
The first two goals were:
According to the ball-playing habits of that guy Miyuki Kazuya, he shouldn't want Sawamura Eisumi to waste a good number of balls at this time.
Then what he is aiming for is, the inside corner!
"Whoosh!"
A white baseball with a straight inside corner.
In fact, Li Lei thought too much.
At this time, Sawamura Eijun had no way to accurately throw the ball to the outside corner sideline.
He hasn't learned it yet!
The positions he can shoot are in the center and inside corners.
It is very dangerous to throw the ball well in the center.
So the vast majority of Sawamura's pitches are actually aimed at the inside corner of the good ball belt.
Li Lei guessed right.
And this time, he's readjusted his striking rhythm.
Just right!
"Ping!"
He guessed the inside corner correctly and the tempo of the strikes was just right.
It should have been able to secure a hit.
But what is very amazing is that after the bat touches the baseball, the baseball actually flies high.
"Kinky balls?"
"Second base!"
Actually, you don't need to be reminded by Yukiichi.
At this time, Ryosuke Kominato had already waited for the baseball landing point.
Without much effort, he got the ball into his glove.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
Two were out, and no one was on base.
"Fifth batter, pitcher, Shunhei Sanada."
It was at this time that Sanada Shunhei stood in the strike zone.
Before he stood in the strike zone, he went head-to-head with Li Lei.
"You can't see the ball at all."
The Seongdo High School baseball team showed more and more attacking power, and at this time they replaced it with such a strong pitcher.
Even if the Yakushi High School baseball team leads by one point.
The players of the Yakushi High School baseball team are afraid to say that they are now dominant.
"I see!"
Although he was mentally prepared, when Sanada Shunhei stood on the strike zone and watched Sawamura pitch.
He still had a wry smile on his face.
"Really, I can't see it at all!"
Because the relationship between the drop points could not be seen, there was a lack of time to prepare the buffer.
For the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team, or for all the players who played against Eijun Sawamura.
They will all feel that Sawamura's ball speed is much faster than his real ball speed.
It's fast, almost 10 kilometers or so.
Other words.
Don't look at Sawamura's real ball speed of just over 130 km/h.
But if you look at it from the strike zone, he's going to be at about 140 kilometres.
Not only is the ball fast, but there are also changes in the quirk ball.
Xiao's pitching is powerful, but it is strong enough to be on the bright side.
Of course, it is possible to soar the ball speed to 150 km/h.
It is also natural that there is such an effect.
Sawamura's pitching is different, and from the outside, it's hard to tell.
Only by really standing in the strike zone can you feel it.
You can feel how terrible this guy's pitching is.
It's like the current Sanada Shunpei.
The little face turned white.
He knew very well that this round of core blows was over, if the Pharmacist High School baseball team didn't show anything.
Then they may only have one chance left to score.
This result is very bad for them.
But he couldn't help it.
In the face of Sawamura Eisun's pitching, it doesn't mean that he can hit it if he wants to.
It's like now.
A white baseball, whizzing.
Sanada gritted his teeth and swung his bat.
Since I can't see through it, I can't find a flaw.
Then he can only gamble.
"Ping!"
The baseball that was knocked out rebounded on the ground.
"Smack!"
A sturdy figure rushed over and took the ball into his glove.
"Hip hop!"
It was Yoichi Kuramochi, a shortstop on the Seido High School baseball team, who started the first base.
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."
As soon as Sawamura Eijun came on the field, he won a good start.
Successively solved the three, 4, and 5 bats of the core of the Yakushi High School baseball team.
The score on the field was firmly fixed at 3:2.
In the rest area of the Yakushi High School baseball team.
A group of players looked at each other, and no one said anything.
As for the stands, the fans of the Yakushi High School baseball team.
The face is even more ugly and scary.
Even they don't know much about baseball.
At this time, they have also seen that the situation is very bad.
Even if they are still one point ahead of their opponents.
The balance of victory in the game is still inevitable, and it is tilted towards the side of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
"What should I do?"
Whether it's the players in the rest area of the Yakushi High School baseball team, or the fans in the stands.
They are all very aware of it.
At this time, the Yakushi High School baseball team cannot remain silent.
They have to act.
But the question is, what do they do?
Facing Sawamura, who had just come on the field, the Yakushi High School baseball team could have taken advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold and took advantage of Sawamura's gains.
But they didn't take advantage of it, but they lost three outs in a row.
How embarrassing and embarrassing this situation is.
So what should they do?
If it was in the rest area of the high school baseball team, the superintendent of Thunder still had a smile on his face.
Although he couldn't defeat Qingdao in one go.
But for the Thunder Collector, he didn't expect the scene in front of him.
Even the current score is much better than what the Thunder Collector originally expected.
After all, the Qingdao High School baseball team is not one of the other top clubs in the country.
There is one point, netizens are right.
Among these top giants in the country, the most grammatical high school baseball team is Qingdao.
Although the pharmacist himself is not very willing to admit it.
But the truth is that for the Yakushi High School baseball team, the Seido High School baseball team is the biggest obstacle to their promotion to Koshien.
"There's no time left to warm you up, it's time to go up the pitcher's mound."
At this time, of course, the Yakushi High School baseball team had to change.
Thunder Hide's overseer directly locked his eyes on Li Lei's body.
Li Lei nodded.
"I see!"
