Chapter 17： : The trust of partners

"All, home run!!"

Seeing the small white ball, it flew out of the field. It took two or three seconds for the audience to react, and then they looked at the boy who confidently stretched out a finger on the strike zone in disbelief.

In the second round of the Nagano Prefectural Trials, they actually saw a home run?

If they weren't the relatives and friends of Shilun Middle School, they couldn't help but want to give Sawamura a standing ovation.

Unlike high school competitions, home runs are rare in middle school competitions. Unexpectedly, in this game that was not taken seriously, someone hit a home run on the first ball.

Shi Lun's coach Ishikawa frowned and asked the recorder beside him in a low voice.

"Sawamura-kun, is this the first time he has participated in the competition for middle school students?"

"Yes, although this is the second round of Akagi Middle School's competition, their opponent in the first round, Akagi West, was disqualified because of a violent incident. Akagi Middle School won without a fight. Therefore, today is the first round of Akagi Middle School's competition. a match."

Ishikawa nodded.

In the qualifiers of the national competition, he played for the first time and hit a home run for the first time.

"This is really a perfect opening!"

As if he had a hunch, Coach Ishikawa felt that this home run would definitely not be so easy to overturn.

The audience was surprised. Shi Lun's contestants were like swallowing flies alive. They were disgusting.

It's not that they didn't know that Sawamura had strength and was prepared to lose points, but they didn't expect to be so embarrassing? In the first half of an inning, someone hit a home run, which is unacceptable no matter how you think about it.

Shiren Middle School, the top ten strong school in Nagano Prefecture, was hit by a two-run homer by the fish belly team that participated in the competition for the first time. When this spread, the reputation of Shi Lun Middle School for so many years was completely ruined.

Even if they win in the end, they will probably be laughed at by other strong schools.

Damn, **** it!

The faces of the contestants from Shi Lun Middle School changed. Most of them are third-year players, and they are on average half a head taller than the players from Shi Lun Middle School. When these seniors stared at Akagi's younger brother with vicious eyes. Ordinarily, the juniors should be a little uneasy, afraid, or at least trembling in their hearts.

But Akagi's players didn't, they were still immersed in the joy of home runs.

Two points!

They actually led Shi Lun's army by two points. I go, it's so dreamy, let them do a dance to calm down.

Little friends, jumping and jumping around Sawamura, who was returning to home plate, was extremely happy.

Shi Lun's players were even more angry. They didn't understand that a two-point lead was worth the joy? The gap between the two sides is there, as long as Shi Lun thinks about it, the score can be recovered in minutes.

The final victory must belong to Shi Lun!

Just two points, these hillbillies in Chicheng are really ignorant.

The stands of the stadium are generally divided into three sides. The first base side, the third base side, and the outfield stand. The outfield stands are undoubtedly the largest. The two sides of the first and third bases are only less than 30 meters long, and there are hundreds of seats in the depth.

The stands in the outfield are different, they can accommodate several thousand people.

In the game between Shi Lun and Chicheng, Shi Lun's bullpen was on the side of first base, and there were about two hundred people sitting scattered in the stands. Most of them are Shi Lun's students and the parents and friends of the players.

On the other side, on the third base side, that is, on the stand on the side of Akagi. At the beginning of the game, it was empty, there was no one, and it was as desolate as a desert.

Now, I don't know when two people came. These two people are very young, and a big brother who looks a lot like Yamaguchi's classmates after a long absence is simply a replica of Dofa Yuan. It's just that he is much taller than Yamaguchi, who is only one meter five, and he looks at least one meter seven.

Among the middle school students, it is considered very majestic.

The other one is tall and thin. The hair is quite long among boys, and it is tied into a small braid, revealing a fair face.

To use Sawamura's adjectives, it is Doi Yuan and Xiao Bailian.

Seeing Akagi's little friends cheering, Doi Yuan said in a loud voice: "Akagi is too easy to be satisfied, it's only two points, it's worth being so happy. Shi Lun's strength is very strong, if they're not careful. Humph..."

Toi Yuan didn't finish the rest of the words, but he could see that he was not optimistic about Akagi.

Xiaobai face, with Erlang's legs crossed, chewing bubble gum in his mouth, blowing bubbles one by one from time to time, and then letting the blown bubbles hit his face, then rolling his tongue and rolling the bubble gum back into his mouth again .

"Akagi is so happy, of course, not only because of these two points."

Xiaobailian's conclusion made Doi Yuan a little unacceptable, and he looked at his partner in confusion.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Bailian blew a bubble again, then rolled it back into his mouth with his tongue, chewed it, and said casually, "They believe in their own pitchers."

Baseball is a sport where you can't lose as long as you don't let your opponent score. If there is a good pitcher, then as long as one side can nibble the score, the victory of the game can be guaranteed.

The current Akagi is probably like this.

They were not satisfied with the two points in front of them, but saw the dawn of victory in the game.

After Sawamura, Akagi's fifth bat was quickly eliminated. UU Reading

Three outs, offense and defense exchange.

Akagi boarded the pitching mound of the official game after a long absence.

The batter of Shi Lun Middle School got advice from his own coach before he played.

"The pitch of the opponent's pitcher is definitely not under Tanaka. Therefore, at the beginning, don't worry, you have to hit the opponent's pitch. Get used to his ball speed, consume his ball count, try hard, and don't get out easily. Of course, also There is no need to be timid, their defense is very weak, and as long as there is a good opportunity, they can swing the bat decisively..."

Coach Ishikawa commanded in a low voice.

"Yes!"

With a strategy, Shi Lun's players were very high-spirited. They looked at Akagi as if Akagi's players were lambs to be slaughtered.

The second half of the game begins.

Coach Ishikawa asked someone to bring a ball speed tester. He really wanted to know how much Sawamura's ball speed was.

Now Sawamura is only in the first year, and there should be many opportunities for them to deal with each other in the future. Coach Ishikawa thinks that he is very necessary to study Sawamura.

Shi Lun's first hitter stepped into the strike zone.

In the position of the catcher, Feng Xiangao glanced at the batter, and then nodded at Sawamura.

Just use your ball speed to fight!

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura nodded slightly, then let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly shouted, "I'll leave the guards behind, I'll let them keep hitting."

Sawamura's roar was too sudden, and shocked the family and friends group who came to support Shilun Middle School.

On the other side of the stand, Tu Feiyuan and Xiaobai face looked at each other in amazement, and both couldn't help laughing.

This guy is also too interesting, how can a pitcher shout to let the opponent hit his own ball as soon as he enters the field.
