Chapter 78: The Peerless Gambling Battle I

"In the first semi-final of the West Tokyo Regional Tournament, the match between Qingdao High School's baseball team and Daocheng Industrial High School's baseball team has officially begun!"

With the passionate and generous words of the commentator, the war of the century also kicked off.

Players from both sides stepped onto the field one after another, saluting each other.

Many of the Daocheng Industry High School baseball team are old acquaintances and even friends of Eijun Sawamura. But during the salute, none of them said a single word to Eijun Sawamura.

These guys, the aura they exude. Tell Sawamura Eijun clearly about their determination.

The golden generation of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team is now a third-year player, and this is their last big game.

It's not surprising that they have such determination.

As a friend, he is willing to cooperate.

Of course, Sawamura Eijun's cooperation does not mean that he wants to show mercy, on the contrary.

Sawamura has been looking forward to this game for a long time, and he will give back to these friends with all his strength.

This is the greatest respect for them.

Moreover, Sawamura Eijun also believes that the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team must think so in their hearts.

In the previous three games, Eijun Sawamura only pitched one inning.

Although in those three games, there was no situation where he, the trump card, had to play.

But Sawamura Eijun still couldn't take it anymore.

His big knife is already hungry and thirsty, how can he bear it if he is not allowed to play the ball?

"Today's game, did you start with full firepower?"

Before the start of the game, Miyuki, as a partner, specially discussed their tactics with Sawamura Eijun.

He could feel the surging fighting spirit in Sawamura, which was almost uncontrollable.

"certainly!"

That's what Sawamura planned.

Going all out from the start,

With extremely strong pitching, crush the audience.

The current Sawamura Eijun has been training in the Seido High School baseball team for a full year and a half.

His strength and physical strength are completely different from those when he first joined the Qingdao High School baseball team.

When Sawamura just joined the team, he couldn't go all out to shoot the whole game.

So during the interval of the game, he needs to adjust the rhythm, he needs to watch the dishes...

But now Sawamura Eijun is different. He has the confidence to go all out to pitch and last the whole game.

As long as his pitching efficiency is high enough, in fact, it doesn't take many shots to solve all opponents.

Three strikes per person, nine strikes in one inning, 81 strikes in nine innings.

If the efficiency is high enough and there is no waste in the middle, Sawamura Eijun can hit the whole court with 81 strikes!

Of course, the reason why Sawamura Eijun was able to let go so much. It also has a lot to do with his abundant physical reserves.

After all, Sawamura Eijun had been resting in the previous three games.

He didn't even play the pitch, so his physical strength was naturally not exhausted, and even if he wasn't exhausted, 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 strength reserve, he can definitely finish the two games, even if the two games are connected together.

"it is good!"

Seeing the surging fighting spirit on Eijun Sawamura, Miyuki also showed a smile on his face.

During the game, Sawamura Eijun seldom appeared so impatient.

This is probably also because, in high school, Sawamura has found it very difficult to find an opponent that makes him go all out.

That's why he was so excited in this game.

As a partner, Miyuki also naturally has to give support.

The game officially started, and the first to attack was the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team player.

Whether it is the main lineup or the lineup, they have hardly adjusted.

It was the same lineup as when they played against the Seido High School baseball team.

The first-year freshman who just joined the team did not appear in the starting lineup.

It seems to be similar to the situation of the Qingdao High School baseball team. Although the freshmen are extremely talented, they are 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 complete level.

This is another place very similar to the Qingdao High School baseball team.

The main lineup of the Seido High School baseball team has not changed much, and the batting order has also remained the same.

The two teams have also adjusted to their best condition.

Moreover, the aces of the two teams did not make much effort in the previous games.

Now this game can be pitched unscrupulously, and the outcome can be decided 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 Carl Ross.

An opponent that Qing Dao was too familiar with.

Miyuki can know the opponent's characteristics like the palm of his hand.

But the more this is the case, the less careless you can be.

Because the same situation also happened to Daocheng.

Their players look at Qingdao, and they are also familiar with it and cannot be more familiar with it.

There is no way, as the two most powerful teams in the same region.

In the past two years, they have fought too many times.

They have studied each other thoroughly.

This is of course a very unfavorable situation for pitchers!

After all, when batters study pitchers, nine people ponder one, occupying an absolute numerical advantage.

When pitchers and catchers study hitters, they have to study nine.

"Even if Eijun Sawamura is standing on the mound on our side, there can't be any carelessness in this game."

Miyuki secretly warned himself, and at the same time opened his gloves, and gave Sawamura Eijun a signal.

Seeing the signal, Sawamura on the mound nodded imperceptibly, then opened his posture and threw the ball.

"Whoosh!"

Without any warning, the white ball roared out.

Karl Ross on the strike zone frowned secretly as he watched the flying baseball.

It's only 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 this kind of thing is just a piece of data when it is studied in private.

The increase in the average ball speed for two kilometers does not seem to be a great improvement.

But standing on the strike zone, the effect is completely different.

Because of Sawamura Eijun's weird pitching posture, the hitter can't see his release point at all.

In this way, standing on the strike zone, you will feel that the ball is flying much faster than you imagined.

Even Karl Ross, who is already very familiar with Sawamura Eijun's pitching posture.

When they saw this ball, they were subconsciously taken aback.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Calrose didn't have time to swing the bat, and the white ball went straight into Miyuki's open glove.

Qingdao, lead with a strike.

On the catcher's position, Miyuki nodded secretly.

No matter what time it was, Sawamura Eijun's pitching was very steady, with almost no mistakes.

The same goes for this ball!

Ball speed, ball power, change, rhythm...

No matter 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 was a little anxious, the pitching did not become impatient because of this eagerness.

Even as a partner, Miyuki couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Eijun Sawamura is an absolute monster when it comes to pitching!

"Very good! Another ball!"

Passing the baseball back to Sawamura, Miyuki turned his head and glanced at Carlos beside him.

Not surprisingly, Carlos was a little dazed.

good chance!

On the baseball field, everything changes.

A dazed effort may lead to many unexpected changes.

And baseball is a sport that requires constant pauses and starts.

Compared with the continuous movement of football and basketball, this kind of movement is more prone to distraction or daze.

How to find such opportunities in the game and seize such opportunities.

It is also a required course for catchers.

As the best candidate for the number one catcher in the country, Miyuki is also the best in the country in this respect.

When he realized that Karl Rose might be in a daze, he squatted down immediately.

Sawamura, who cooperated tacitly with Miyuki, of course understood what it meant that Miyuki suddenly squatted down at this time.

Speed ​​up!

"You bastard, you're really bad!"

For his partner, Sawamura Eijun has unconditional trust.

At the same time Miyuki crouched down, Sawamura Eijun opened his posture and threw his second ball.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball roared out!

In a blink of an eye, he came to the beater.

Karl Ross, who saw the ball, was obviously caught off guard.

But in order not to be chased, he reluctantly swung his bat.

It's just that with his barely swinging speed, it's impossible to keep up with Sawamura Eijun's pitching.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

The bat waited for the white ball to fly past before swinging it fully.

The number of goals, two good, zero bad.

The batter was chased.

very good! !

Miyuki was also very satisfied with this result.

Although Sawamura Eijun has always claimed to be invincible at the beginning of the game.

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 is reliable, but luck is also on the one hand.

Just like now, Sawamura Eijun is in very good condition.

The balls thrown are of high quality.

In this way, it would not be difficult to get rid of the opponent in front of him.

The last ball, lore!

After seeing Miyuki's signal, Sawamura nodded imperceptibly.

Then I saw his right foot raised high, and then fell hard.

As the body's center of gravity shifted, the white ball in his hand roared out.

"Whoosh!"

During the time when Sawamura Eijun was throwing the ball, Karl Ross remembered the advice of his own supervisor in his mind.

At that time, they were watching the tape of the game between the Seido High School baseball team and the North American Dream Team.

After seeing Sawamura Eijun take out the change ball of level 4, Supervisor Kunitomo stared at the disciple in front of him seriously and asked.

"Which one of you can hit this ball?"

The friends in Daocheng were all silent.

Although they are extremely reluctant to admit it, they are telling the truth.

None of them had the confidence to hit the ball that Eijun Sawamura threw.

They don't need to go to the scene to watch it. Just watching the video of the game, they know the difficulty of this ball.

"We can do it!"

Cheng Gongming said unconvinced.

But everyone knew that Cheng Gongming was just trying to hold on.

That kind of ball itself is already a very troublesome existence, and in the hands of Eijun Sawamura, I am afraid it will become even worse.

No matter how proud and arrogant these little friends of the Daocheng Industry High School baseball team are.

They also have to admit that it is very difficult to hit a ball like Eijun Sawamura.

"Very good! You still maintain the minimum calmness. To be honest, I don't think any of you can hit this kind of ball. But I also don't think we will definitely lose."
