The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

The bat hits the baseball, and the baseball is quickly shot out.

"Snapped!"

The baseball landed close to first base, and Sawamura ran forward quickly.

Must go through, must go through!

For this ball, Sawamura deliberately adjusted his swing posture, instead of hitting it far away, but increasing the swing speed, the purpose is to let the ball land against the sideline of first base and fly into the field.

It was originally expected that Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, where Sawamura would work hard to fight in the field, was caught off guard.

The first baseman did not stop the baseball by a few cents, and watched the baseball fly out.

The hit that penetrated the first base, although the flight distance is not very long, is a standard long hit.

"Go through!"

Feng Xiang ran back to home base in one breath, Zecun also went to second base, and he had not stopped on second base, he aimed at third base and continued to advance.

When Nagano Metropolitan’s left fielder picked up the ball and prepared to pass it back, Sawura was less than three or four meters away from third base.

Damn it, it's too late!

The outfielder of Nagano Metropolitan Government regretfully gave up the chance to pass the third base to kill Sawamura and passed the ball to first base.

Sawamura, who was running, has been using his peripheral vision to observe the outfielder. When he saw the outfielder turning to pass the ball to first base, he crossed the third base without hesitation and went straight to home base.

"Quickly pass the home base!"

Chapter 036

"Pass home base!"

Anxious shouts came from the cowshed of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.

Feng Xiang Long Yi's face was pale, and he suddenly had an unknown premonition.Sawamura didn't want to hit a home run from the beginning. He was on his side and would use an outside corner to decide the victory, so he decided to aim for the outside corner and hit the first base.For a hit through the first base, although the distance of the ball is not very far, because there is a vast void behind the first base defense, the defender has to turn around to chase the ball, then pick it up, and pass it back. This is a long time. .Runners are fast and have a chance to run to third base. Once the defense finds that there is no chance to prevent the runner from going to third base, they will choose to pass the ball back to first base and then home base.

Sawamura is aiming at this opportunity.

If the outfielder passes the home plate directly, he has no chance to steal the home plate.So, what he was waiting for was this opportunity, when the outfielder passed first base, he would go straight to home base.

The ball is passed to the first baseman, the first baseman then passes to the catcher, the catcher bends down again...

This time is enough for Zecun to risk returning to home base.

"Did he see the fleeting error of the outfielder, or did he plan everything from the beginning?"

No matter which kind it was, Feng Xiang and Long Yi felt shuddering.

Feng Xiang Longyi was instinctively unwilling to accept the latter, and he was more willing to believe that Zemura caught the outfielder, and that fleeting mistake decided to steal the home base.But even so, Nazawa Village has at least the insight of a professional player to achieve this.

The first baseman receives a pass from the outfielder and returns a home plate.At this time, Sawamura had already returned to home base to rest.

A two-run home run in the field!

Akagi Middle School scored two points in one go and tied the score.

The total score has changed from 2:0 to the current level of 2:2.

In the second half of the seventh game, Akagi Middle School was out of the game twice, no one was on the base, and there was a desperate moment.Fengxiang and Zecun played super long games one after another, helping the team tie the score.

At this moment, even the narrator didn't know what language he should use to describe his shocking mood.

It's so exciting!

This is absolutely the case that the short, poor and poor on the baseball field counterattack the rich and handsome.

"Aka City! Aka City!!!"

The hundreds of spectators who supported Akagi and Zecun cheered for Akagi frantically, as if they had won.

In sharp contrast are the teams and stand supporters of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.

They feel completely stunned. Who can tell them what happened just now?

Two minutes, no, a minute ago, didn't they still have the victory?In the blink of an eye, it became evenly divided.

"Ao, Sawamura, Aoao, Akagi!!!"

Xiao Lin stood up and shouted incoherently.

Dalin next to him felt that his eye sockets were already moist, which was so exciting.

Zecun was also very happy, although with his experience, bullying a group of 13 or 14-year-old children is really not a face.But he was still very happy to live up to the trust of his friends and score two points.In the situation just now, if he stopped at third base, the game would have ended long ago.

What's more, his actions just now, even in the peak of his career, have never been done.

This is the first time that Zecun has truly felt his progress.Although his body's speed and strength are far from the peak of his previous life, his insight and determination have surpassed his previous life.

Sawamura is convinced that in this life, he will definitely surpass and be more brilliant than his previous life.

"Good shot, good shot, good shot, strikeout!"

The friend of Nagano Metropolitan High School, although shocked and a little stunned, did not collapse as Sawamura expected.At this time, the hard training of the giants gave them confidence.Even if they were tied in the last round, the players from Nagano Metropolitan Middle School never doubted that they must be the final winner of this game.

The players who completed the defense, return to their own bullpen.

Ma Li looked ashamed: "I'm sorry, coach!"

The first baseman beside him also lowered his head, and the left fielder.

The mistake just now was not caused by a single individual himself. What Sawamura beat was the entire defensive lineup of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.The pitcher, first baseman, and outfielder all have an unshirkable responsibility for the points dropped just now.

Fengxiang Longyi's mind kept flashing the movements of Zecun just now, and he had to admit that it was really beautiful.Strikes, runs, and timing is a perfect mess.

"You said this game, what is the winning percentage of our two sides?"

Faced with a crisis, Feng Xiang and Long Yi acted rather calmly.

Winning percentage?

The friends from Nagano Metropolitan Middle School looked at each other, failing to understand what Fengxiang Longyi meant.At this time, shouldn't you think about how to recover your score?What the hell is talking about winning percentage?

Feng Xiang Long Yi did not wait for everyone to give him an answer, but said to himself: "With our strength, we can win at least eight or nine games against Akagi Middle School. In other words, before the game, Akagi The chance of winning in middle school is only one in ten."

one tenth!

Even if Akagi has a plug-in like Zecun, a powerful person like Feng Xiangaoyi.The gap between them and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School is still very large. They are lucky to win one game in ten games.

"But they were stunned to make this game a close 50-50! As one of the three strongest schools in Nagano, we are really ashamed. I feel ashamed of my face, how about you? "

Fengxiang Longyi's tone was not harsh, but the Nagano Tsutsuta players who listened to him felt as if they were being slapped in the face by someone.

"Want to prove yourself? Throw away all the previous games and prove yourself with strength. If you try to compete fairly with Akagi Middle School, I will not give you strategies for the next playoffs. You have to think about everything. . Have confidence?"

"Have!"

On the other side, in the bullpen of Akagi Middle School.

The little friends surrounded Zecun with excitement. They didn't believe that they had even tied Nagano Metropolitan High School, one of the three kings of Nagano Prefecture.

It feels like a dream.

"Don't get excited, the game has just begun, the next step is the key."

Sawamura smiled indifferently. After the two sides tied for seven games, a playoff was held.

Because of time, the playoff of the county competition is the end of the whole game, and the leading side is considered a victory.The total number of rounds in the playoffs shall not exceed five rounds. If the end of the 12 rounds is still undivided, the match will be played again on another day.

Although Akagi Middle School's performance was amazing, the vast majority of the audience did not think Akagi could really perform miracles.

The more stalemate the game, the more experienced, and the harder the training, the greater the advantage.The three kings were killed in countless hard fights.Akagi is not comparable to the fledgling dark polo team in this respect.

The strength is not as good as the others, the experience is not as rich as the opponent, and the mentality is not as good as the opponent.

Even with a plug-in like Sawamura, Akagi Middle School is still in crisis.

Their experience in the game is very pitiful, let alone this kind of play-off experience.

Chapter 037-Unfathomable

In the quarter-finals of Nagano Prefecture, the giant Nagano Metropolitan Middle School played. Akagi Middle School, which participated in the competition for the first time, ended the seven games and the two sides tied 2:2.A playoff had to be held.

At the beginning of the playoff, everyone except Akagi believed that the Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, which fought back wildly, would tear Akagi Middle School to pieces.

But the real situation is totally different.

In the first half of the eighth inning, Nagano Metropolitan Middle School attacked.

It was their eighth batting turn, and as soon as the eighth hitter came on the field, he put out a short hit.

The Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, which is serious about the competition, has decided to implement the short attack.Nowadays, the face has long been lost, and you can't lose anymore.

To win, you must unceremoniously aim at the opponent's weakness.

The weakness of Akagi Middle School is that apart from Sawamura, Fengxiang and Oda, there are no decent players at all.

Just short play can make them full of loopholes.

One point, as long as the next point is scored first, the victory still belongs to them.

"Press it up! Press it up!!!"

Facing Nagano's counterattack, Sawamura naturally responded early.He let Oda and Yamaguchi press forward from the position of first base.From their original defensive position, they advanced seven or eight meters forward.

At the same time, the outfielders have also moved forward. They are almost defending against the infield, and can go to the base pack to make up at any time.

The friend of Nagano Metropolitan Government took a look and suddenly understood Akagi Middle School's intention.

"This is forcing us to go head-to-head with them!"

Marion sneered.

A third baseman is equivalent to defending against the hitter. If the hitter looks around, he can almost see the hair of the infielder's nose in Akagi.In this case, it is difficult for the beater to relax and play short.Regardless of whether it is successful or not, it feels like short hitting is just like sending the opponent out.

"Since you want to go head-on, then we will fulfill you."

The Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, which wanted to open, changed its strategy and confronted Sawamura.

Sawamura successfully won two outs from the eight and nine strokes of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.

After the two outs, Ogawa relied on a blow to go to base, fortunately Sawamura suppressed Nagano Metropolitan's second.

In this way, the eighth inning was guarded without danger.

In the second half of the eighth inning, Ma Li pitched.

Faced with his pitch, Akagi's lower hitter didn't swing at all.

Anyway, you can't hit it, so it's better to stop swinging and gamble badly.

Not to mention, Marion, who was already unstable in possession of the ball, has suffered from physical problems even now.Two consecutive four bads were cast, and Yamazaki and Cang Yue were on base.

"What are you doing?"

Tuyuan called for a timeout, staring at Mari without blinking.

"Cut~"

Marian, faintly unhappy, but didn't know where the problem was.

How could he make consecutive ball mistakes?

"Let's slow down the rhythm, against other hitters besides Fengxiang and Zecun, you can solve them even if you don't throw the ball with all your strength."

Tuyuan Urn sounded the urn gas suggestion.

Mari’s possession of the ball is not true even for the strike zone.It's just that if you go all out to throw the ball, the ball speed will be faster.If he tends to control the ball, his ball speed can only be maintained at about 130 kilometers.

Throwing the ball with all its strength and controlling the ball accurately cannot be said to be completely contradictory, but there is indeed opposition.Pitchers must constantly find a balance point to make their straight shots fast and accurate.

But note that for any pitcher who is good at handling the ball, his usual ball speed is definitely not his fastest.

Marion is a pitcher who tends to fastball, so his possession of the ball is relatively average.

Now Tuhara's suggestion is to let him give up the fast ball and concentrate on the ball.If the opponent is Akagi playing in the lower position, even if the ball speed is 130 kilometers, it is more than enough to clean them up.

After the adjustment, the effect was shown. After Yamazaki and Cang Yue were on base, Mari struck out Akagi's eighth, ninth and first Yamaguchi with nine consecutive goals.

They held the eighth game very strongly.
