The attack in the second half of the seventh inning had not yet begun, and the atmosphere at the scene had already reached its climax at this time.
Even this climax had nothing to do with the outcome of the game, they were just celebrating Sawamura's record.
Seventeen strikeouts in a single game, not to mention small local competitions, such as the Kanto Conference, this record is probably unprecedented!
Sawamura is destined to become a superstar leading an era.
"Stepping on the corpse of the king, Yokozuna, with a pitching skill far exceeding that of the Twelve Heavenly Kings, the great devil from Nagano, Sawamura Eijun was born!"
A sentence from Kanagawa TV's commentary defines this game.
And this sentence will also become a hot word on the Internet for a long time to come.
"The Great Demon King is born!"
"A superstar who spans the ages, Eijun Sawamura."
"Heaven's Pride, Sawamura Eijun!"
"Great Demon King, Sawamura Eijun!"
Nagano City, in the Tomita family's small villa.
Tomita Yasushi just passed all the interview materials of Chicheng Middle School to his boss, and is now calling his boss.
"I got it, boss!"
"Good good!"
"What advice do you have for the title, you ask?"
Tomita pondered, just in time to see the evaluation of the Great Demon King Sawamura playing on the TV.
I have to admire the special effects team of those TV shows, they have already made corresponding animation special effects for Sawamura. Although it is a very simple special effect, it looks very harmonious.
On the mound, Sawamura raised his arms.
Behind him, countless fans, like crazy, celebrate and shout like crazy.
At this time, on Nagano TV's broadcast, a text effect was placed on top of Sawamura's head.
Black and gold font with five large characters.
"The Great Demon King Sawamura!"
I believe that after this game, in addition to the so-called Twelve Heavenly Kings, among the super players of the new era, there will be a big devil. A super devil who specializes in killing the Twelve Heavenly Kings.
"It's just called 'The Development of the Demon King'!"
"The Raising of the Demon King!"
The voice on the other side of the phone froze for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Okay!"
The word "Demon King" has almost spoken the hearts of everyone since it came out.
And "Baseball Boy" will send the Demon King Sawamura to the sky!
Sawamura is on fire, and so is the word Great Demon King. In the future, the Great Demon King of this country will no longer be a comparable Great Demon King, but the Great Demon King Sawamura.
If it was simply a personal victory, Sawamura had already won.
Seventeen strikeouts!
Sawamura Middle School had a perfect performance!
The opponent is the national champion Yokozuna Middle School, which makes this performance even more legendary.
Sawamura had won, but Akagi had not won.
Any flash is not without cost. Before the game, Sawamura had a premonition that Yokozuna was an unprecedented strong enemy. He also used all the tricks that he could use at this stage, and even did not hesitate to unlock his current decisive goal twice.
Sawamura's available ball paths at this stage are pitifully small for him. But it is still very rich!
This includes three types of normal straights: the floater, the normal straight, and the high-speed straight that can act as a killer.
On top of that, there's the changeup he's used before.
Basically these four!
But these four kinds of balls, not to mention ordinary straight **** and change-up balls, floating **** and high-speed straight balls, all have a great burden on Sawamura. Sawamura is not a natural floater, nor is he a monster with amazing ball speed like Akatsuki.
He uses the wrist press for his floating ball, relying on his own wrist press to increase the rotation of the ball to achieve the effect of letting the ball float. So Sawamura's flying straight ball is actually pirated and imitated by others.
Compared with the real, there is no difference. The burden on Sawamura himself is huge, and he needs to consume the strength of Sawamura's wrist.
There are also high-speed straight balls. High-speed straight **** are one of Sawamura's killers, but the limitations of this kind of ball are greater than his wrist-pressing floating ball. High-speed straight **** rely heavily on the fingers.
With Sawamura's current finger endurance, a high-speed straight ball can scare people, and it is impossible to use it as a regular ball.
Of course, Sawamura's straight **** are not just those three. In addition to these three, Sawamura has three other straight balls. It's just that some of these straight **** are not suitable for soft balls, and some are not suitable for the current Akagi.
So these **** were sealed by Sawamura!
Sawamura's fourth ball just now was one of the unlocked ones. This kind of ball is also the only sealed ball that Sawamura can barely use at this stage.
Straight ball like a Carter ball in the inside corner!
The method of pitching is a straight ball grip, with the index and middle fingers slightly staggered, leaving a small gap.
When Sawamura throws a hard ball in this way, after the ball is thrown, it will traverse in the inner corner, which looks no different from Carter's ball.
But throwing soft **** this way makes all the difference. I don't know if it's because of the stitches or the soft ball. In addition to the lateral movement, the ball also sinks to a certain extent.
For Sawamura, this was a pleasant surprise.
Sawamura is so unreserved, of course there is no problem in crushing a group of thirteen or fourteen year olds. But the problem is that he also has his own physical strength limit. So far, Sawamura's shoulders, wrists, fingers, and endurance have all approached the red line.
After all, although Sawamura has experience in his previous life, his body is still an ordinary thirteen-year-old boy!
If they play extra games, then Akagi loses.
Even in this game, Sawamura is already super god, and it is useless. In terms of overall strength, Akagi is not an opponent of Yokozuna at all. Don't look at the yokozuna's players being suppressed by Sawamura, but they are more than enough to clean up Akagi except for Sawamura!
Therefore, in the second half of the seventh inning, Akagi had to score.
"Senior, look at you!"
Before Fengxiang hit the field, Sawamura solemnly asked.
"I see!"
Feng Xiang clenched the bat in his hand and stepped into the strike zone.
Sawamura also came out and took the waiting position. Before leaving, Sawamura suddenly said to his teammates behind him: "Matsumoto, Hirota, you two are ready. If necessary, I will let you play on your behalf."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The two answered hesitantly.
Hirota and Matsumoto are also immersed in the atmosphere of the scene to Akagi and Sawamura.
They didn't expect that at this time, Sawamura-senpai would order their generals.
Even if they have some strength, they have no chance of winning against Uesugi, one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings.
Even Uesugi is the one with the lowest comprehensive strength evaluation among the Twelve Heavenly Kings!
The second half of the seventh inning Akagi attacked.
"The third stick, catcher, Feng Xiang Aoyi."
Feng Xiang looked at Uesugi on the pitcher's mound, with surging fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
"bring it on!"
In the position of the catcher, Shikanosuke Yamanaka seemed to see Feng Xiang through.
The batter's fighting spirit is high, and he has a posture that he will hit the ball no matter what.
In this case, even if the ball is off the strike zone, he will swing the bat, as long as it is not too far off.
If that's the case, then let's accompany him.
"First ball: A bad ball with the inside corner off the strike zone!"
"Whoosh!"
The small white ball was thrown, passing over the top of the plate like a light.
