v2 Chapter 48： : Chris's 'script'!

"Sawamura, Sawamura!!"

Perhaps it was because Sawamura on the pitcher's mound was really tired, or perhaps he was moved by Sawamura's previous performance. At the beginning of this round, there were sporadic cheers from the alumni.

"Is this brat so popular already?"

Kuramochi looked at this scene in surprise, feeling unhappy in his heart.

In terms of first-come-last-arrival, of course he can't compare with those seniors in the third grade, but he is also earlier than Sawamura!

What do you think of this situation, Sawamura is more popular than him among the alumni?

"It's about charisma."

Ryosuke Kominato was talking sarcastically.

"In order not to make him too proud, after the game, I'll have a good conversation with him."

After hearing Ryosuke Kominato's words, Kuramochi's anger grew even higher.

On the court, Sawamura looked at the code Chris gave him and nodded.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball whizzed out.

Ball, here we come!

On the strike zone, the batters from Osaka Kiryu High School were ready.

To be honest, now Sawamura's ball speed and power have dropped.

It's completely different from when he's full of energy. When someone else is throwing the ball, the speed of the ball will definitely decrease gradually. Being able to maintain a relatively high level to 100 goals is the limit.

Sawamura is different, Sawamura belongs to the type of bravery in the Vietnam War. Even if his pitching exceeds the number of 100, the power and speed of the ball will not decrease much, but it will give people a feeling of getting stronger and stronger!

Of course, people are not machines after all. Sawamura also has a limit. The stage when his pitching is getting stronger and stronger is not the limit of his physical strength. At that time, his fighting spirit and physical strength were still very abundant.

And now Sawamura's physical strength has already reached the limit, standing on the verge of collapse at any time.

He can only guarantee a certain level of ball control, speed and power.

This level is definitely not a small gap compared to his peak level.

Take the easiest ball speed to compare, Sawamura's previous fastest ball speed was 138 kilometers, and the average can be maintained at 136,137.

And now Sawamura's ball speed is around 134,135.

Overall, it's down!

For batters who are accustomed to Sawamura's block pitch, it's easier for them to time Sawamura's pitch.

coming!

The batter swings the bat decisively when he sees the baseball coming.

"Ping!"

After the white ball was hit, it flew out high.

The baseball flew out, and the batter, who thought he was playing well, dropped the bat and ran.

"Snapped!"

Unfortunately, the ball just flew right in front of the shortstop.

Kuramochi took two steps forward and caught the ball in his glove.

"Out!"

Rest area at Kiryu High School in Osaka.

Supervisor Takahiro Matsumoto looked at Sawamura suspiciously.

Was it his previous judgment wrong? Sawamura still has plenty of physical strength.

Do you want to continue to consume according to the previous plan?

No, no!

Just thinking of this, Matsumoto shook his head decisively and rejected his idea.

It's now the eighth inning, with five outs left. If Sawamura Eijun still has sufficient physical strength, they can only continue to attack.

This attack must be in the eighth inning, which is the penultimate inning, and the effect will be discounted in the ninth inning.

If there are one or two outs, the game is over. The pitcher's fighting spirit is extremely high, and even if he overdraws his physical strength, he will continue unwittingly.

Unlike now, once the pitcher can't hold it, consider the ninth inning.

Under double pressure, pitchers are more likely to crash.

Barry is only half of 90.

It is only half of the journey from a hundred miles to ninety. It is said that the later stage, the easier it is for people to give up.

But the rest of you must also be a number. For example, there are still ten kilometers, this number is very tormenting.

But there are five kilometers left, and it will be different!

At this time, most people think that they can survive through gritted teeth.

This has the same meaning as the legendary two outs in the second half of the nine innings, which means that the game has just started.

In baseball, the eighth and ninth innings are very crucial. And pitchers are most prone to collapse, often in the eighth inning.

"continue!"

Superintendent Matsumoto, decisively gave orders to his disciples!

On the other hand, Chris also nervously matched the ball with Sawamura.

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura nodded.

"Whoosh!"

After the ball was thrown, Osaka Kiryu High School, who had just played, was stunned for the ninth bat.

In the middle, it turned out to be in the middle!

He took a step forward and swung the bat decisively.

"Ping!"

After the white baseball was hit, it landed in left field.

"Falling down the valley!"

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura anxiously reminded the garrison.

"Snapped!"

The baseball landed, and Akatsuki Fukugu picked up the ball at the first point of the baseball, and then passed it to the second base like a guided missile.

The batter at this time had already run to first base.

"Safety!"

One out, one at first base.

Rest area at Kiryu High School in Osaka.

Supervisor Takahiro Matsumoto, who was still suspicious at first, was like a reassurance pill at this time.

Sure enough, the pitcher to the limit!

Next, as long as the aggressive offensive is carried out, opportunities will always arise.

At this time, it was the batter's turn, the first bat from Osaka Kiryu High School.

The first hit of Osaka Kiryu High School, but a strong hit.

At the beginning of the game, he was the one who hit Akatsuki Fukugu's ball on the first ball and hit a home run.

When someone hits base, it is the batter's turn.

Sawamura encountered, since he played, the first crisis.

In the catcher position, Chris kept signaling the fielders on the field.

"I'm panicking!"

His actions inexplicably pleased Matsumoto Takahiro.

He thought Chris was panicking.

After all, when Miyuki was a catcher, no one from Osaka Kiryu High School was on base.

As a result, as soon as the substitution was made, someone here went to base!

Takahiro Matsumoto, who is familiar with the internal competition rules of giant high schools, of course knows the competitive relationship between Miyuki and Chris.

Invisibly, Chris is already at a disadvantage in this competition.

At this time, what should Oita Kiryu High School do?

Of course it's taking advantage of your illness to kill you!

"First base, watch the pitcher throw the ball, and run immediately! The batter finds a chance to hit, and if the first pitch is a good opportunity, hit it directly."

bring it on!

The more flustered the opponent, the greater our chances! At this time, you don't have to be polite to them, just get points.

Compared with the previous cautiousness, the Osaka Kiryu High School at this time is simply crazy.

One by one their contestants were like cats who smelled fishy, ​​their eyes were all red.

It was also at this time that Sawamura received a password from Chris.

Straight ball! Ordinary low angle straight ball!

At this time, if UU reading is not good, it is likely to lose two points.

Chris actually gave Sawamura the code for a normal straight ball.

"Whoo~"

Taking a deep breath, Sawamura nodded silently.

At this time, even he didn't understand what Chris was thinking.

But out of trust, he decided to pitch the ball as Chris wanted.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball is shot, and on the strike zone, the hitter swings the bat calmly.

The ball that comes, looks like an ordinary straight ball!

But how is it possible?

Now that someone hits base, how can a catcher have a straight ball?

So this ball must be a floating ball that seduced me!

"Ping!"

Without any hesitation, the hitter aimed for a ball above the path and swung.

The white ball was hit and bounced off the ground.

At second base, Ryosuke Kominato jumped up and blocked the ball.

At about the same time, Kuramochi also arrived at second base.

"Senior Ryosuke!"

He opened his glove and asked Kominato Ryosuke for the ball, and Ryosuke passed the ball to him.

"Snapped!"

After receiving the ball, Kuramochi stomped on second base's bag and sent the ball to first base.

"Block out!"

"Out!"

"Double kill!"

Three outs, offense and defense exchange.

Sawamura held the game with three goals.

When returning to the rest area, Sawamura almost bowed to Chris.

"Master, how do you know that the opponent will definitely aim at the floating ball in the end?"

This is what Sawamura doesn't understand the most.

He had also carefully studied the various hitters at Osaka Kiryu High School before, and he believed that he knew a lot about their habits.

But he never realized that the first shot of Osaka Kiryu High School might be aimed at the floating ball.
