pps: I finished it yesterday, and I still owe zg brothers seven chapters. I have five more chapters to finish today. Easy, easy. Without further ado, let's start the text.

The fight between Sawamura and John was also highly anticipated.

Despite some deficiencies in defense, he has not become the main player of the North American Los Angeles team.

But Johannesburg's striking prowess is beyond doubt.

In fact, Johannesburg's reputation was already huge even before it played against the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Especially his strikes are very famous all over North America.

He is also the only one on the Los Angeles team to take a hit from New York.

Although it was an ordinary single-base hit, no one else on the North American Los Angeles team had done it except him.

This is John.

In the future, he will be called the most powerful man.

Eijun Sawamura was on the pitcher mound, carefully looking at his opponent.

Among the players of the same age group, there are not many players who can really make Sawamura Eijun feel dangerous.

Speaking of pride, Sawamura Eijun can count with his fingers.

And the Johannesburg in front of me is one of them.

When fighting against John, the cells on Sawamura Eijun's arm would tingle.

Sawamura is very familiar with this feeling. Only when the threat level of the opponent reaches a certain level will he have such a physiological reaction.

This is an opponent worthy of his all-out effort.

Facing such a challenger, Sawamura Eijun did not have any fear in his eyes.

On the contrary, in his eyes, all that was burning was excitement.

For Sawamura Eijun, such an evenly matched contest is the greatest enjoyment.

Although the abuse of vegetables wins, it will also produce pleasure.

But that kind of thrill was compared to the thrill of playing against an evenly matched opponent.

Totally worthless.

For the current Sawamura Eijun, he is eager to compete with a strong player like John.

Especially in this game, even if we lose, it will not drag the team down.

Eijun Nasawamura likes it even more.

In a formal competition like the summer, if an unexpected strong player really comes, it will be a headache.

Although Eijun Sawamura is willing to enjoy the duel with the master, but you have to admit one thing.

Once the game is lost, the third-year senior's high school career is over.

Such a psychological burden is huge.

So Sawamura Eijun's attitude towards Natsu and Koshien is that he hopes to meet enough opponents, but he doesn't want them to be too strong.

Because he is too powerful, it is difficult for him to control the situation.

This kind of communication game is different.

For Sawamura, the stronger the opponent, the better.

On the contrary, the opponent's strength is not strong, and Sawamura Eijun will be very disappointed.

Then it would be meaningless for them to come all the way from the island country to North America.

Johannesburg.

After all, this is the third time the two have fought each other in the past few days.

The last time we met, we had one win and one loss, and it was a draw.

This time.

"I'm not going to show mercy!"

Sawamura Eijun's eyes narrowed dangerously.

After seeing the code given by Miyuki, Sawamura nodded slightly, opened his stance, and shot the ball.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball looked like a laser beam and flew into the strike zone in the blink of an eye.

In the face of this ball, John, who was very active before, did not choose to swing.

But lightly put the ball to the past.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

Some of these results were unexpected.

Not only the friends of the Qingdo High School baseball team were a little dumbfounded, but even Sawamura Eijun on the pitcher mound was a little unclear at this time.

What kind of plans do these guys from the Los Angeles team in North America have?

We've got a strike lead, so let's keep going.

Miyuki in the position of the catcher is naturally unambiguous. He also knew what John must have planned.

But at this time, they can't take care of...

So instead of knowing nothing here, guess the number of each other's ways? It's better to show the horses and horses first, and see how the other party responds.

Then find a way to see the tricks.

To put it bluntly, I haven't figured it out yet, but do it first!

If his partner was a pitcher other than Sawamura, Miyuki wouldn't choose to be so reckless.

After all, if one can't get it right, the one who greets them is likely to be doomed.

But his partner was Sawamura Eijun, so Miyuki naturally had less scruples.

Not to mention that Sawamura Eijun is still holding a hole card that has not been exposed, even if there is no hole card.

Let Johannesburg take the hit.

Miyuki also believed that they would be able to deal with the remaining hitters very smoothly.

Stabilize the situation at Qingdao High School and prevent the opponent from scoring a point.

He has such confidence.

This confidence was also passed on to Sawamura.

"Come on then!"

Since Miyuki believed in himself wholeheartedly, Sawamura Eijun naturally did not intend to disappoint the other party.

So he neatly opened his stance and threw the white ball in his hand fiercely.

"Whoosh!"

The pitch seemed to go faster than the first pitch, and as it approached the edge of the strike zone, all of a sudden, the ball dropped.

This is Eijun Sawamura's quirk ball change.

The range of changes in the ball is very large.

If John chooses to swing at this time, he will definitely suffer a big loss in the end.

Fortunately, he did not do that, but chose to let go of the ball lightly.

"Bad ball..."

Baseball has changed so much that it strays directly from the strike zone.

The number of **** turned into one good and one bad.

Sawamura on the pitcher mound nodded slightly at Miyuki at this time.

It seems to be exchanging some secret code.

Miyuki, who was in the catcher position at first, didn't quite figure it out.

What does Eijun Sawamura mean?

But he soon understood, so with Miyuki, he moved his footsteps slightly.

And deliberately made the sound of feet rubbing against the ground.

John subconsciously glanced at Miyuki from the corner of his eyes.

It's really just subconscious behavior.

It's like we hear someone talking behind us and look back.

Maybe he didn't even notice it himself, but his line of sight really strayed.

it is good!

Eijun Sawamura on the pitcher's mound suddenly widened his eyes.

For him, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime, and he will never let it go no matter what.

So he opened his stance and threw the white ball in his hand directly.

On the other hand, Johannesburg also thought about the taste at this time.

He turned his head quickly, just in time to see an impartial center ball flying over.

Even in a hurry, it is absolutely impossible for Johannesburg to put such a ball on the spot.

So he still waved the bat in his hand, hoping to hit the white ball.

"Ping!"

The bat hit the white ball and sent the white ball flying high.

Johannesburg clenched his fist excitedly. In his opinion, although the ball was in a hurry, the ball should be able to fly to the outfield.

But unexpectedly, the ball bounced high.

When passing over the pitcher, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible net.

The speed slowed down, and the ball fell with it.

Eijun Sawamura on the pitcher's mound had an expression of no waves of Furui.

Just listen to him muttering.

"The Swallow is back home!"

"Snapped!"

Sawamura Eijun didn't even lift his eyelids, he stretched out his gloves and caught the ball.

On purpose, he did it on purpose.

No matter how sluggish the North American Los Angeles players were, they knew that a shot was clearly intentional.

"Out!"

But whether or not Sawamura Eijun did it on purpose, the result of the duel on the field will not change in any way.

Once out, no one hits base.

Then, Sawamura Eijun began to confront Reinhardt.

Reinhardt looked at Sawamura Eijun's eyes, full of complicated emotions.

It's not that he has any special feelings for Sawamura Eijun, it's mainly his pitching to Sawamura Eijun.

There is already a certain psychological shadow.

Reinhardt himself didn't think he could hit Eijun Sawamura's pitch.

In this way, his performance naturally cannot be good.

Was struck out quickly.

After two fastballs, Eijun Sawamura used a changeup.

The sudden change in ball speed caught Reinhardt off guard.

So it's just a strikeout.

After two outs, it was against Carlisle, the fourth player in Los Angeles, North America.

Carlisle is a pure violent hitter, and his strength is also very good.

But against such a batter, Sawamura Eijun was unequivocal at all.

Because of his ever-changing change-ups, he just restrained opponents like Carlisle.

The result of the game is the same, he easily dealt with Carlisle.

"Ping!"

The ball bounced off the ground.

"Hip-hop!"

A vigorous figure suddenly rushed out, picked up the ball and passed it to first base.

"Out!!"

Eijun Sawamura has never been alone for the North American Los Angeles team to face.

What they had to face was the entire team of the Qingdo High School baseball team.

Of course, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team faced the same situation.

In the sixth game, Qingdao High School also started from the second.

Kominato and Hakushu, who have good attacking strength.

These are all very reliable players from Qingdo High School.

But after they came on the field, they were quickly solved by their opponents.

In the face of **** thrown from the left side with a speed of more than 150 kilometers.

They simply can't handle it for a while.

Not to mention, the opponent occasionally throws a change ball.

This even caught the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team by surprise.

Two outs, no one on base.

Eijun Sawamura confronts Conrad for the third time.

Conrad, with fluttering hair, was not as easy as before when he faced off against Sawamura Eijun.

At this time, he also tried his best.

Sawamura Eijun is of course more unequivocal.

Even for the team, he intends to replicate what Johannesburg has done before.

Entangle the opponent until the number of **** is full, and when the opponent feels slack, then kill the opponent in one go.

The plan is perfect.

But the reality is cruel.

After entangled with two balls, Sawamura Eijun decisively swung the bat and hit the ball out.

He still has a good understanding of Conrad's pitching. Although the opponent is imposing, but in the end Sawamura Eijun is superior.

But God is not on the side of Qingdao High School.

John, who had often made mistakes in defense before, was like a **** at this time, blocking the way for the baseball to fly out.

I saw John jumping up high, then opened his glove and caught the ball firmly.

"Snapped!"

"Out!!"

Three outs, offense and defense exchange.

The two sides are like this, you come and go, and you don't give in to each other.

The game unknowingly reached the ninth inning.

The score on the field is still 4:3.

During this time, it wasn't that the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team didn't work hard.

They also worked hard to create opportunities, but somehow, in the end, they always fell short.

There has been no way to get a hit.

Not to mention changing the score on the field.

In this way, the game came to the ninth inning.

In the first half of the ninth inning, the North American Los Angeles team attacked.

Sawamura once again faced the core line of North America.

This time, Sawamura Eijun unlocked his level 4 change ball.

Got three strikeouts.

At the last moment of the game, the atmosphere on the field was pushed to the top.

In the second half of the ninth inning, Qingdao High School attacked.

This was also the last chance for the Qingdao High School baseball team to attack.

If they can't score points, the game can only end in failure.

Kominato, who was the first to stand on the strike zone, put his focus very low after standing on the strike zone.

Haven't been able to touch the ball several times in a row before. Kominato is also reflecting on, where is the problem?

After reflection he finally attributed the blame to his own striking posture.

So a temporary adjustment was made.

In the face of the flying baseball, swing the bat decisively.

The speed of the ball is 150 kilometers, and the ball is thrown from the left side.

"Ping!"

Kominato Haruichi actually touched the ball.

But although the ball hit, the result was not ideal.

The huge power uploaded by baseball caught Kominato Haruichi off guard.

Can only helplessly watch the baseball bounce out high.

"Snapped!"

Unsurprisingly, the ball was picked up by the fielder of the North American Los Angeles team.

Immediately after that, Baizhou was also out.

This fact also confirmed Miyuki Kazuya's words once again.

With the Qingdao High School baseball team, the current strength of the friends.

It's still a struggle to get Conrad's ball out.

The only player who has a chance to compete fairly with the opponent, 55 to 50.

Only Sawamura Eijun.

Two outs in the second half of the ninth inning.

It was Eijun Sawamura's turn to strike again.

Before entering the field, Sawamura Eijun carefully put on his striking gloves and helmet.

He didn't laugh like he did before, but his expressions and actions were very serious.

After standing on the strike zone, he stared at Conrad without blinking.

He had played against Conrad three times before.

Hit a home run once.

The second time was directly blocked out.

For the third time, John used the supernatural defense and successfully killed Sawamura Eijun.

This is the fourth time the two have met.

Almost the last time we meet!

Hit it out! ! !

Whether it is from the team's point of view, or from the personal feelings of Sawamura Eijun, he believes that he has no room to retreat.

Gotta hit the ball!
