"In the first game of the semi-finals of the Western Tokyo Regional Competition, the Qingdao High School baseball team will play the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team. The game officially begins!"
With the passionate and generous words of the commentary, the battle of the century also kicked off.
Players from both sides stepped onto the court one after another and saluted each other.
Many members of the Inocheng Industrial High School baseball team are old acquaintances and even friends of Eijun Sawamura. But during the salute, none of them said anything to Sawamura Eijun.
These guys, the momentum they exude. Tell Sawamura Eijun clearly their determination.
The golden generation of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team is now a third-year player, and this is their last game.
It is not surprising that Sawamura Eijun would have such determination.
As a friend, he is willing to cooperate.
Of course, Sawamura Eijun's cooperation doesn't mean he wants to show mercy, on the contrary.
Sawamura has been looking forward to this game for a long time, and he will use all his strength to give back to these friends.
This is the greatest respect for them.
And Sawamura Eijun also believed that the players of the Inocheng Industrial High School baseball team must also think so.
In the previous three games, Eijun Sawamura only pitched one inning.
Although in those three games, there was no situation where he, the ace, had to play.
But Sawamura Eijun couldn't take it anymore.
His broadsword is already hungry, how can he bear it if he is not allowed to pitch?
"Today's game, is it full of fire from the beginning?"
Before the start of the game, Miyuki, as a partner, deliberately discussed their tactics with Sawamura Eijun.
He could feel the surging fighting spirit in Sawamura, and he could hardly contain it.
"certainly!"
That's what Sawamura planned.
Go all out from the beginning, crushing the audience with a powerful pitch.
The current Sawamura Eijun has been training for the Qingdo High School baseball team for a full year and a half.
His strength and stamina were completely different from when he joined the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Sawamura, who had just joined the team, couldn't do his best to pitch the entire game.
So in between games, he needs to adjust the rhythm, he needs to watch the dishes...
But Eijun Sawamura is different now. He has the confidence to throw the ball with all his strength and last the entire game.
As long as he throws the ball efficiently enough, it doesn't take a lot of **** to solve all the opponents.
Three strikes for one person, nine strikes in one inning, and 81 strikes in nine innings.
If the efficiency is high enough and there is no waste in the middle, Eijun Sawamura can hit the whole court with 81 strikes!
Of course, Sawamura Eijun was able to let go so freely. It also has a lot to do with his abundant physical reserves.
After all, Sawamura Eijun had been resting for the previous three games.
He didn't even pitch in, so his physical strength naturally didn't consume, even if he didn't even consume it, it was even less likely that he would feel tired.
Although the semi-finals and finals are connected.
But Sawamura Eijun is still confident that with his current physical reserve, he can definitely complete the two games, even if the two games are connected.
"it is good!"
Seeing the surging fighting spirit of Sawamura Eijun, Miyuki also had a smile on his face.
During the game, Sawamura Eijun rarely appeared so impatient.
This is probably also because, in high school, Sawamura had already had a hard time finding an opponent who would let him go all out.
So in this game, he will be so excited.
As a partner, Miyuki also naturally needs to give support.
The game officially started, and the first to attack was the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.
Whether they are the main lineup or the lineup, they have hardly adjusted much.
It was the lineup from the previous game against the Qingdo High School baseball team.
The freshman who just joined the team didn't appear in the starting lineup.
It seems to be similar to the situation of the Qingdao High School baseball team. Although the freshman is extremely talented, it is not enough to shake the position of the main force.
And there is no change in the main lineup, which means that the opponent has adjusted the team to a very perfect level.
This is another place very similar to the Qingdao High School baseball team.
The main lineup of the Qingdao High School baseball team has not changed, nor has the batting order changed.
Both teams have also adjusted to the best state for them.
And the ace of the two teams, in the previous game, did not make much effort.
Now this game can be thrown unscrupulously, and it can be a showdown without any scruples.
In the first half of the game, Daocheng Industry attacked!
The first to stand on the strike zone was the little black Karl Ross.
An opponent that Qing Dao is too familiar with.
Miyuki knew the characteristics of the other party like the back of his hand.
But the more this is the case, the less careless it is.
Because the same situation also happened to Daocheng.
Their players look at Qing Dao, and those who are also familiar can no longer be familiar.
There is no way, as the two most powerful teams in the same region.
In the past two years, they have played too many times between them.
They have studied each other thoroughly.
This is of course a very unfavorable situation for the pitcher!
After all, batters study pitchers, and nine people think about one, occupying an absolute numerical advantage.
For pitchers and catchers to study batters, they have to study nine.
"Even if Eijun Sawamura is standing on the mound on our side, we can't be careless in this game."
Miyuki reminded himself secretly, and at the same time opened his gloves to signal Sawamura Eijun.
Sawamura on the pitcher mound nodded indistinctly after seeing the signal, then opened his stance and pitched the ball.
"Whoosh!"
Without any warning, the white ball whizzed out.
Carl Ross on the strike zone frowned as he watched the flying baseball.
Just half a year, not even half a year.
This guy's ball speed is faster!
Through their actual verification, they actually knew that Sawamura Eijun's ball speed was about two kilometers faster on average.
But when this kind of thing is studied in private, it is just a piece of data.
The increase in the average ball speed of the two kilometers does not seem like a great improvement.
But looking at the strike zone, the effect is completely different.
Because of Eijun Sawamura's strange pitching posture, the batter couldn't see where he put the ball at all.
In this way, standing on the strike zone, you will feel the ball coming, much faster than you think.
Even Karl Ross, who was already very familiar with Sawamura Eijun's pitching posture.
When I saw this ball, I was stunned subconsciously.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
Carlos didn't have time to swing his bat, and the small white ball went straight into Miyukiichi's open glove.
Qing Dao, a strike lead.
In the position of the catcher, Miyuki nodded secretly.
No matter what time of year, Sawamura Eijun's pitching is very stable, and there are almost no mistakes.
The same goes for this ball!
Ball speed, power, variation, rhythm...
From any point of view, there is nothing wrong with this ball.
It can be seen that Sawamura Eijun is in good condition.
Although the mentality is a little eager, the pitching did not become impatient because of this eager mood.
Even as a partner, Miyuki had to sigh.
Eijun Sawamura is an absolute monster when it comes to pitching!
"Very good! One more goal!"
Returning the baseball in his hand to Sawamura, Miyuki turned his head and glanced at Carlos beside him.
Not surprisingly, Carlos was a little stunned.
good chance!
On the baseball field, things change rapidly.
A dazed time, it is very likely that many unexpected changes will occur.
And baseball is a sport that requires constant pauses and starts.
Compared with the continuous sports of football and basketball, this kind of sports is more likely to be distracted or stunned.
How to find such opportunities in the game and seize such opportunities.
It is also a compulsory course for catchers.
As the best candidate for the country's No. 1 catcher, Miyuki is also second to none in the country in this regard.
When he realized that Carlos might be stunned, he immediately squatted down.
Of course, Sawamura, who cooperated with Miyuki tacitly, understood what Miyuki meant by suddenly squatting down at this time.
Speed up!
"You guy, you're really bad!"
For his partner, Sawamura Eijun unconditionally trusts.
Just as Miyuki squatted down, Sawamura Eijun opened his stance and threw his second ball.
"Whoosh!"
The white ball whizzes out!
In the blink of an eye, he came to the beater.
Carlos, who saw this ball, was obviously caught off guard.
However, in order not to be chased, he still reluctantly swings the bat.
It's just that with the speed at which he barely swings, it's impossible to keep up with Sawamura Eijun's pitching.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!!"
The bat waited until the white ball flew past before it was fully swung out.
The number of balls, two good, zero bad.
The hitter was chased.
very good! !
Miyuki was also very satisfied with this result.
Although Sawamura Eijun has always been known to be invincible in the beginning.
But people, after all, are not machines. The state cannot be the same every day!
Sawamura Eijun was able to maintain such a record before, although his own strength was reliable, but luck was also one aspect.
It seems that now, Sawamura Eijun is in very good condition.
The **** thrown are of high quality.
In this way, it is not difficult to solve the opponent in front of you.
The last ball, the lore!
After seeing Miyuki's code, Sawamura nodded slightly.
Then he saw his right foot lifted high, and then fell violently.
As the center of gravity shifted, the small white ball in his hand whistled out.
"Whoosh!"
During the time when Sawamura Eijun was pitching, Karl Ross remembered the advice of his own supervisor in his mind.
At that time they were watching the video of the Qingdao High School baseball team and the North American Dream Team.
After seeing Sawamura Eijun taking out the level four change ball, Supervisor Kunyu stared at the disciple in front of him earnestly and asked.
"Which of you can hit this ball?"
Daocheng's friends, one by one, remained silent.
Although they are extremely reluctant to admit it, they tell the truth.
None of them are confident that they can hit the ball thrown by Eijun Sawamura They don't need to go to the scene to watch it. Just by watching the video of the game, they know the difficulty of this ball.
"We'll do it!"
Cheng Gongming said unconvinced.
But everyone knew that Cheng Gongming was just trying to support him.
That kind of ball itself is already a very troublesome existence, and in the hands of Sawamura Eijun, I am afraid it will be even worse.
No matter how arrogant the friends of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team are.
They also have to admit that it is difficult to hit a ball like Sawamura Eijun.
"Very good! You're still keeping the minimum level of calm. To be honest, I don't think any of you can hit this kind of ball. But I also don't think we will lose."
