CHAPTER 42: TITLE FOR TITLE II
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!!"
"nice shot!!!"
"strike out!"
For three consecutive strikes, the batter of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School did not swing and was struck out.
Such a clean pitching performance reinvigorated the brothers of the Brotherhood of Brotherhood.
To be honest, they are also under a lot of pressure. In any case, Sawamura's performance in the last game was so terrifying that he was beaten out continuously. Although they have always had great confidence in Sawamura's pitching, even to the point of blindness.
They believe that Sawamura is the best and that no one can beat Sawamura. This is the belief of the Brotherhood of Brotherhood.
But the scene just now made them have to be shaken.
Although Sawamura's ball speed is not the fastest, his strikeouts are not a lot at all, and he can even be said to be the pitcher with the most strikeouts in Nagano Prefecture.
Although Sawamura's ball has also been hit, the probability of hitting Sawamura's ball is almost half the probability of Sawamura's strikeout!
In such a situation, like the one just now, 1234 bats, no matter whether it was resolved or a bunt, four consecutive players hit Nakasawamura's ball without getting a strikeout. This is the first time it has appeared.
No wonder the brothers of the Brotherhood of Brotherhood are nervous!
The Brotherhood of Chi-heart, on the surface, is the support group of Akagi Middle School, but in fact it is Eijun Sawamura's own fan group. The Brotherhood can accept the defeat of Akagi Middle School. Although they will be sad when they see Akagi lose, it will not dampen their enthusiasm at all. They will support Akagi every day because Akagi and Sawamura are still there.
This relationship sounds a bit complicated, but it's actually very simple. Just like the Bulls and Michael Jordan back then, some people supported the Bulls because Michael Jordan was there.
Now the relationship between Akagi Middle School and Sawamura Eijun is the same.
"coach!"
Seeing Eijun Sawamura's outstanding performance, the brothers of the Akagi Brotherhood, and the fans who support the baseball team of the city middle school, are naturally rejoicing. But as their opponent, the assistant coach of Nagano Metropolitan High School, had a different feeling in his heart.
Just now Fengxiang Longyi was still saying that Sawamura couldn't keep throwing changing balls, at least not always throwing the kind of floating ball.
After listening to Fengxiang Longyi's reasons, the assistant coach also felt that what his coach said was very reasonable.
Through the previous game video, they could clearly see that when Sawamura threw the floating ball, there was an obvious movement of pressing his wrist.
This extremely unnatural wrist pressing action does increase the rotation of the ball, allowing the ball to float to a certain extent. But in the same way, keeping this kind of ball at a speed of 130 kilometers puts a huge burden on Sawamura's wrist.
So unless Sawamura made up his mind and didn't care about his wrists, he couldn't fight with this kind of ball all the time.
But just now Sawamura threw a series of floating balls, although from their point of view, these are normal straight balls. But the problem is that the slightly floating ball path and the normal straight ball, if you just look at it, the difference is not very big. And judging from the flaws they found before, these balls should all be floating balls.
"there is only one truth!"
Fengxiang Longyi suddenly said something that was so scumbag. Let their assistant coaches are powerless to complain.
However, he also knows that his coaches are sometimes neurotic, arrogant, and love to perform.
At this time, if you complain about him, you might just let it go as soon as you get angry. When I played against Akagi Middle School last year, my coach didn't play like this. At that time, in the face of Chicheng Middle School, which was born in the sky, Fengxiang Longyi once let go.
Despite the skepticism of the assistant coach,
At that time, Fengxiang Longyi thought that he would not be active because he had no chance of winning in Shangtianlong Temple in the future.
"Either they discovered their own problems and corrected them in time. Or Sawamura's own mind became hot and insisted on being reckless. Which one do you think it was?"
The assistant coach resisted the urge to roll his eyes and did not interrupt Feng Xiang Longyi's self-directed and self-acted performance.
Fortunately, Fengxiang Longyi didn't wait for him to answer, but continued: "I don't know, what is a 13-year-old kid thinking? But it doesn't matter, since we don't know, we can try Try, try and find out."
Just as they were communicating, Sawamura had successfully scored his second strikeout. At this time, Feng Xiang Long Yi decisively gave the last hitter a signal and asked him to swing the bat.
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!"
"strike out!!"
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."
It's just a pity that this time Fengxiang Longyi's secret code did not have the magical effect before.
This time Sawamura still won the strikeout very smoothly.
It seemed that no matter how hard Nagano Metropolitan High School struggled, there was no way to escape Sawamura's grasp.
"Sawamura! Sawamura!!!"
"Dong Dong Dong! Dong Dong Dong!!!"
The in-depth confrontation, the brothers of the Brotherhood of Brotherhood, and the fans who support the city middle school, naturally do not know. From what they saw, Akagi Middle School still had the absolute upper hand. The powerful offensive rhythm of the original Nagano Metropolitan High School no longer exists.
As for why it doesn't exist, they don't know.
On the other side, Sawamura, who returned to the bullpen, looked at the bullpen of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, but there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes.
The response speed is really fast!
Only the last half of the game is left.
Akagi Junior High School still has two chances to attack, and Nagano Toritsu has one last chance to attack.
With such a small number of rounds, it is not impossible for Sawamura Eijun to use that kind of floating ball all the time. After all, he almost used straight balls to solve the battle in the previous rounds, and he did not use the floating ball much.
But even so, Feng Xiang Long Yi still saw the flaw.
I have to say that a good coach is too important for the team. Not only the usual guidance, but also the on-site command, Sawamura is also ashamed.
It's ridiculous to say that Nagano Metropolitan High School just caught a small loophole that wasn't a flaw and chased the score back. Sawamura also does not have such ability.
When matching the ball, Sawamura and Fengxiang Ouichi each had half of the secret code, Fengxiang decided the ball path, and Sawamura decided whether to use the changing ball or not.
Even in the major leagues, Sawamura cooperated with his partner like this. There is nothing wrong with this kind of cooperation. When there are enough change balls, it can confuse those who guess the password even more.
And the weakness that Nagano Metropolis has seized is precisely this one.
When Akagi wanted to throw a change shot, Sawamura would signal, but if he only shot straight, Sawamura would not signal.
They took advantage of this to shake Sawamura and recover the points.
Sawamura originally thought of ending the game with a plan. It's just that he didn't expect the other party to be much smarter than he imagined. But in one round, they knew that their tactics had failed. Sawamura was not given a chance to make plans.
