Chapter 44: Sawamura, Please Fight!
Summer National Wildball Tournament, Koshien preliminaries, West Tokyo quarter-finals.
It is in full swing.
There are thousands of fans who came to support Eijun Sawamura, because the object of their support did not play, the fans showed a little bit of enthusiasm.
The fans who originally supported Qingdao High School also behaved very low-key due to special reasons.
There were more than 10,000 people at the scene, and more than 20,000 eyes.
Just like that, staring wide-eyed, watching the game on the field.
The first to attack was You Liang Comprehensive.
The friends from Qingdao High School changed their defensive clothes, walked onto the court, and waited for the game to start.
Jiang Guxiao, the starting pitcher, exuded an astonishing aura like a steaming flame.
In the rest area.
Sawamura Eijun stared into Kataoka's eyes, without any intention of escaping.
I want to play!
His desire was not concealed.
"what happened?"
Director Kataoka certainly doesn't think that this opponent in front of him is enough to stimulate Sawamura Eijun's desire to win.
In fact, after tying the North American Dream Team, Eijun Sawamura has found it difficult to be interested in ordinary opponents.
Unless the opponent's player is worthy of his interest, or the strength reaches a certain level.
Otherwise, it doesn't make much difference to Sawamura whether he plays or not.
Now in all colleges and universities, opponents who can arouse Sawamura Eijun's interest can be counted in two slaps.
Director Kataoka is sure that there must be no Youliang synthesis in it.
Even if the leader of You Liang's comprehensive group is Director Sakaki, it won't work.
Sawamura himself doesn't have any special feelings for Director Sakaki.
Although both of them have very deep connections with Qing Dao,
But in this world, there is no law. Both of them have a deep connection with Qingdao High School, so they must be related.
So Supervisor Kataoka really couldn't figure it out, why did Sawamura ask to play?
"Master Chris, he will come to the stage later."
Sawamura did not hide it, and directly showed Kataoka the message Chris had just sent him on the phone.
I see!
Kataoka nodded knowingly.
Chris has already started playing games in the minor leagues, and he didn't have time to go to the scene to watch the previous match between Qingdao and the Meimeimeng team.
It's hard to come here this time, and it's not incomprehensible for Sawamura Eijun to want to perform well in front of him.
"Did you say anything?"
"That's not detailed, it seems to be going through some formalities."
"If there is a chance, I will let you play."
Kataoka Supervisor has a rare humanization.
For him who is stubborn, this is not easy.
"thanks, thanks!!!"
Thank you very much Sawamura.
Being able to perform well in front of Chris is very important to Eijun Sawamura.
Whether it was before or now.
His thinking has never changed.
Sawamura Eijun sat on the rest chair and began to observe his opponent seriously.
Before, he was not very interested in the opponent in front of him.
He didn't even think that the opponent had the strength to force him to play.
It can be said that this is Sawamura Eijun's arrogance, and of course it can also be said that he is self-confident.
In fact, the two are not much different.
Sawamura Eijun is really confident about his own teammates.
But it's different now. Director Kataoka promised him that if he had the chance, he would be sent to play.
In order to be able to leave an amazing performance during the period of playing.
Sawamura Eijun had to observe his opponent carefully.
Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.
Otherwise, if Sawamura Eijun knew nothing about his opponent.
It is also possible to stumble after playing.
The same is true when we watch stage performances. Sometimes we feel that the actors are very powerful, no matter what role they are playing, they can perform them vividly.
After standing on the stage, that person seems to be shining, like the kind with his own halo.
And some, once they stand on the stage, they are nothing.
At this time, people often say that so-and-so is born suitable for the stage.
It's all bullshit.
I don't know how much time has been spent in privately rehearsing the corner that will shine on the stage.
One minute on stage, ten years off stage.
This sentence is equally appropriate on the baseball field.
Talent exists, but it is not enough to rely on the aura of genius to shine from the court.
You must also put in enough effort in private.
At this point, Sawamura Eijun did a very good job.
This is also the key to his success.
Once the task falls on Sawamura Eijun, he will not think about those messy things at all.
Instead, stare intently at your opponent while rehearsing in your head.
How do I fix him if I'm pitching?
If it is me to attack, what kind of attack strategy should I adopt?
It was this thought that made Sawamura Eijun perform so well after playing.
Let's get away, let's bring the topic back, and then talk about the game.
Under the eyes of everyone, Jiang Guxiao looked at his first opponent coldly.
Bai Lai and You Liang were originally the third club, and now they are the first club.
In Youliang Comprehensive High School, his characteristics are very prominent. He likes to grasp the opponent's weakness, and he bites tightly and does not let go.
Once entangled by him, it will be a very troublesome thing.
The heart was beating thumpingly, every cell in Jiang Guxiao was filled with excitement.
Finally, finally, it's his turn
Jiang Guxiao waited for this opportunity for so long that even he forgot.
When did you look forward to playing?
Wang Xi and Kawakami have already played.
Sawamura Eijun will also play later...
Only Jiang Guxiao, who knows when will he be able to play?
This made him very anxious, if he was not allowed to play this game.
Then the chance of him being able to play in the entire West Tokyo competition is almost non-existent.
Semi-finals and finals, considering those two opponents.
If there is no accident, it must be Eijun Sawamura who survived alone.
After all, those two opponents can be regarded as the biggest enemies of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
If Qingdao High School doesn't go all out, it will be overthrown by the opponent.
So for Jiang Guxiao, his only chance is this game.
Only in this game, if he shows a good enough performance, can he continue to play in the next game.
Be good!
Be sure to perform well! ! !
Jiang Guxiao, who was on the pitcher's mound, took a big stride, and at the same time, threw the ball with all his strength.
Miyuki, who was at the catcher's position, frowned subconsciously when he saw the flying white ball.
Weird, very weird! !
Jiang Guxiao, who was fearless before, no matter who the opponent is? Even Laozi can crush his Jiang Guxiao with pitching.
Why is it gone?
The guy who is pitching now feels quite satisfactory, without the slightest bright spot.
This can't help Yuxing not being nervous.
What kind of character is Director Sakaki? The other friends in the team don't know, but it doesn't mean Miyuki doesn't know.
Miyuki is a diehard Seido, and has been studying Seido since elementary school.
For Sakaki, who was proud of the spring breeze at that time, he knew it very well.
If Jiang Guxiao suddenly makes some mistakes at this time, even if the team can survive the crisis of capsizing in the gutter, the current hurdle will definitely not be easy.
"Snapped!"
"Bad ball!!!"
For the first pitch, Bai Lai didn't swing his bat, and just watched the baseball fly past his eyes.
The ball deviated slightly from the strike zone, almost brushing Bai Lai's body, and flew into the Miyuki glove.
Miyuki's heart shuddered suddenly.
Even with Jiang Guxiao's ball, swinging his arms was not easy.
To put it bluntly, the arm was too stiff and did not relax.
But relying on his extremely strong first ball speed in the country, thinking about the ball speed of this ball, it should also exceed 150 kilometers.
Faced with such a dangerous ball, the hitter didn't even have the slightest intention to back down.
Are you scared? Or that the ball did not have any impact on the hitter.
No matter which one it is, Miyuki is not willing to encounter it.
If the other party is frightened, such an opponent will make Miyuki very disappointed.
If the opponent had already seen through this shot, then the Qingdao High School baseball team played today.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to simply end...
