The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher Chapter 9

Before he could have heard of it, he had never seen it.

This time it was good. Not only did he see it, he also became a beneficiary in disguise.

"So we are the top thirty-two in Nagano?"

Sano-sensei said with a ruddy face.

His new girlfriend has been doing well with him, and the one who has been very happy recently.Not only is love harvested, but his career is also good. According to reliable internal information, he has been nominated for promotion.Now even his famous baseball team has broken through the first round in the competition...

Sano felt that if life could be like this, he would not be dissatisfied.Of course, if the hair on the top of his head no longer falls off and can grow back, life will be more perfect.

Sawamura glanced at Sano, and resisted not telling him the truth.

Sawamura knows all these things that Sano is concerned about recently.Although he thought he had a good girlfriend, he didn't know that the girl was more than his boyfriend.Director Sano was promoted, but after the school was merged two years later, his director was worthless.

Finally, the hairline he was most worried about did not stop falling off. By the time Zecun graduated, the hairline was about to break through the horizon.

Akagi won the first battle without a fight, and naturally became the top 32 in Nagano Prefecture, and their opponents in the next battle also appeared.

This opponent can be regarded as the most familiar stranger to Nagano.

Shilun Middle School, Nagano Prefecture.

It was Akagi's opponent in the first practice match.It's just that the team that was competing against Akagi's friends was their newly formed second army, and now it was Shi Lun's first army that was competing against them.

This opponent made Sawamura very embarrassed.

Shi Lun's strength is good, but he is not a type that Akagi can't handle at all.Although the probability of winning will not be high, there is always some hope.

Feng Xiangao turned to look at Zecun.

Sawamura understood what he meant. His opponent was Shi Lun, and if he could unlock the shift ball, he would have hope for them.

If Sawamura can complete Shilun's hitters, they should be able to win this victory easily as long as the line can cooperate to score a point.

Top 16 in Nagano Prefecture!

It seems to be within easy reach.

Zecun hesitated a little, and shook his head decisively.

Not to mention that he does not intend to unlock the change ball before the straight ball is fully practiced.Even if he unlocked it, he would only win one or two games, which was totally meaningless in Sawamura's eyes.

Originally, he wanted to run with everyone for two years and act as a super dark horse in the last year, but now that Feng Xiang Ouichi and Oda Honsheng join, Sawamura's plan has to be adjusted.

The chance for them to show their strength should be the'Wenchen Cup' next spring and the national competition in summer, not now.

Now his straight ball still needs to be sharpened, and the change ball has not been practiced, and it will not be of practical value.

"Now my weapon is only straight shots."

"The ultimate weapon can only be unlocked when it is most needed."

Zecun smiled easily.

From his immature and cheerful face, Feng Xiangao saw the unpredictable.

"Then we can play this game."

Time passed, and soon the day when the competition began.

Several counties in the Kanto region have a much denser schedule than Tokyo because they have to play the Kanto Contest.

Tokyo has played six or seven rounds almost a month, while in other parts of Kanto, the games start earlier.But it won't take more than one and a half months at most. In this one and a half months, their schedule will be divided into two stages.

The first section of the Nagano Prefecture contest, the second section of the Kanto region contest.It takes ten full rounds of competition to finally determine the quota for the national competition.

The schedule is so dense that all teams in Nagano generally play double matches a week as long as they advance.That is to say, one game on Saturday and Sunday. In the event of abnormal weather or unscheduled conditions, it may even be added to the weekend, that is, Monday to Friday.

So even though Akagi won without a fight, he broke through the first round and advanced to the top 32 in Nagano.But they still have to compete directly on the second day to compete with Shi Lun to qualify for the next round.

On June 23rd, Sunday, the sky was clear.

The Akagi baseball team, which has just been established less than three months ago, ushered in their first official game.

There were only a few hundred spectators at the scene, and most of them were Shilun supporters.As for the Nagano side, no one came at all.

Most of Akagi's friends have no experience, and don't know that this kind of thing can be notified to family members to cheer.As for Zecun and Feng Xiangao, they did not take this game too seriously.

For them, winning is not honourable, and losing is even more embarrassing.

In this case, they will naturally not notify their family members.

Therefore, none of the people who came to cheer for Akagi Middle School today.

For teams like them, in addition to being a blockbuster in the comics world, the probability of being slaughtered in the real world is much greater.At least no one was optimistic about Akagi's victory over Shilun with a few hundred spectators.

"Shi Lun's luck this year is too good, Akagi West could have caused some threats to them, but now..."

"Akachengxi is committed to his own crimes and cannot live. Drink bars and fights. No one will sue them."

"..."

On the eve of the game, Akagi's friends were extremely nervous.Within half an hour of Yamaguchi, he had gone to the toilet three times.The Yamazaki brothers have been hiding aside and whispering.

Sawamura leaned closer and almost didn't laugh.

Koyamazaki: "Brother, you can do it."

Oyamazaki: "Brother, you are fine."

"brother!"

"Little brother!!!"

Chapter 015: Barefoot Aren't Afraid of Wearing Shoes

Not only Yamaguchi Ken and Yamazaki brothers, but most of the other friends are not normal.

Feng Xiang Ouichi and Oda Honjo, who were born in the minor leagues, are a little better.They were the main players in their Little League at the beginning, and they have had experience in several major competitions.

But even for the two of them, their expressions were tense.

After all, a formal competition is different from an ordinary practice match. The practice match will have the next one to win or lose.People are also more relaxed in their mentality. They are happy when they win, but are frustrated when they lose, and their psychological burden is much smaller.But the regular competition is different, especially in this kind of knockout, if you lose a game, you will be eliminated immediately!

This kind of competition is naturally pleasing to the eyes of the audience, and the contestants will do their best to win.

It may not be so easy on the parties of the competition.

Even in the first round of the competition, there are no spectators around, and everyone's nervousness is slow to relax.

Seeing this scene, Zecun was extremely grateful for his wise decision.It was right to let everyone feel the atmosphere of the competition in advance.It's still in the preliminary stage of the competition, and the pressure on the field is much less.Otherwise, if you really encounter that kind of fierce competition, it is not good to say that there will be any unexpected situations.

"Flap!"

Zecun slapped his chin twice, ready to enlighten everyone.

At this time, he saw Mr. Sano stand up, and then walked out in a panic.

"Ms. Sano, what's the matter?"

"I'll go to the toilet."

Sano stammered, then turned around and ran away.

Zecun was stunned for a moment before he realized.It seemed that it was not only the players who were nervous, but even Sano, the leading teacher, was nervous to death.It seemed that I was a little abnormal.

Sawamura recalled carefully, let alone the present, even in his previous life, he didn't seem to be nervous before any major competitions.Whether it's Kaziyuan or professional baseball, Zecun is more brave in the face of tens of thousands of people.

He is a typical person who is crazy. The bigger the scene, the better his performance and the higher the fighting spirit.

He really fits to be a star baseball player!

With a faint smile, Sawamura put aside the previous life scene he had just recalled, then turned to the friends and said, "Look, Sano-sensei was so scared to pee his pants."

"Haha!"

"Hahaha..."

Although the friends were still nervous and fidgeting, they couldn't help laughing when they heard Zecun's teasing.They are still very nervous, but at this time they find that someone is more nervous than themselves, especially when that person is their teacher, their condition is obviously much better.

"In fact, there is nothing to be nervous about. They are the ones who should be nervous. No matter what, Shilun Middle School is considered a famous and famous school in Nagano. What are we? At most, it is just a fledgling grassroots, compared with them, We were nothing before. For us, losing the game is a matter of course, and winning is all earned. For them, winning is not worth showing off, losing can be miserable, that is called capsize in the gutter... …"

Sawamura's remarks, although a bit unpleasant to the friends of Akagi Middle School, are very resonant.

They should have been affected by the results of the previous practice games and unknowingly put themselves in a high position.But this position did not bring everyone confidence, but instead became a resistance that restrained everyone from moving forward.

But in fact, let’s get started, practice matches are after all practice matches, no one takes it seriously.After all, the current Akagi Middle School is still just a pauper with nothing.

For them, any gains are earned, and there is no need to attribute the pressure to themselves.Even if they lose, it is just going back to the original point for them.

This is the so-called barefoot who is not afraid of wearing shoes.

After Zecun's guidance, everyone finally calmed down a bit.

Then, under the leadership of the referee, Sawamura guessed the punch with the captain of Shilun Middle School.Zecun took out the scissors, Shi Lun's captain took out the burden.

"Let's attack first!"

Zecun said.

In a baseball game, first strike has certain advantages.Whether it is a pitcher or a hitter, there is a problem of status.Relatively speaking, the status of the beater is easier to find.But it is rare for pitchers to enter the state directly from the beginning.

Another, as the first striker, even if there is a problem with one of the hitters, it will not get in the way.Because in the first game, they had at least three hitters playing first, so they couldn't be out of the three hitters, right?

For a baseball game, there are nine people in a team.When attacking, the nine players will be attacked in turn. In this process, if three players are out, the attack is over and the two sides exchange.

The competition for middle school students is different from that for high school students, and uses a seven-game system.

In response to these two points, Zecun made great adjustments to everyone's strike order.

"First, third baseman, Yamaguchi Ken."

Because of Feng Xiang Ouichi's joining, Yamaguchi, who was originally Sawamura's partner, had to move away from the position of catcher.

Sawamura placed him in the position of third baseman, which is a very important position in the infield defense.The reason why Sawamura arranged him here was not because his defensive skills were really exquisite to the extent that he could be a great task.It is because he is large enough to bring a different sense of oppression to the beater.

For the current Akagi, defense or something is just empty talk.

"Good shot, good shot, good shot, strikeout."

The ace pitcher of Shilun Middle School, Tanaka, is well-known throughout Nagano. His ball speed is very fast, almost 125 kilometers.

For Yamaguchi, this kind of pitching is really inadequate.

After him, the second stick, Oda Honda, was quickly out.Unlike Yamaguchi, he hit the ball, although it was just an infielder.

Shi Lun's third baseman picked up the ball and sent him to first base, blocking him out.

Zecun frowned. To be honest, he didn't expect Shilun Middle School's defense to be so fast.With such a defensive team, it turned out to be only Nagano's quarterfinals, which really made Sawamura confused.

When did the team in Nagano reach this level?

Two outs, no one on base.The situation of Shilun Middle School is very good.

The pitcher Tanaka showed a good pitching state from the beginning, and took two outs in a row.

"The third bar, catcher, Feng Xiangaoyi."

"Ping!"

Just when these players in Shilun Middle School looked down upon Akagi.Akagi's first hit appeared, and it was a large long hit.

Feng Xiangao swept the ball directly into the field, and then ran up to second base in one breath.

Two outs and someone at second base.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the live game was reversed.

And Akagi's next hitter also stood in the strike zone.

"Fourth, pitcher, Sawamura Eizumi."

Chapter 016 Big Home Run

"That person is Feng Xiang, Feng Xiang Ao Yi, who is the best player."

Shi Lun is different from Akagi in that several of their players have transferred from the Little League.Almost at the first glance, they recognized Feng Xiang's identity. You must know that Feng Xiang was also a man in the Little League in Nagano at that time!

He and Nanami Haruka are called together, Nagano Gemini.
