Chapter 101: New Record of the Great Demon King (Part 3)
"The devil! The devil!!!"
...
The fans in the stands shouted frantically. Their mental state is clearly abnormal.
In such a passionate scene, it is difficult for anyone to maintain a normal state of mind.
Everyone watched eagerly, the moment when Eijun Sawamura broke the record.
Not just the fans, but also the reporters on the field. Even those professional team managers who are mature and don't take their high school grades seriously.
At this time, it was also radiated, the blood in the body.
They instantly remembered when they were young, and many of them played baseball when they were young.
At that time, people had few entertainment activities, no mobile phones, no computers.
When it comes to the game, there are a lot of people who come to watch the game. Once someone has a good performance, the enthusiasm of the audience is also very high.
The contestants will even have fun for several days in a row.
At this time, even these old fritters had to sigh with emotion.
It's nice to be young!
Eijun Sawamura on the mound now has a full 15 strikeouts.
Shirakawa, who was on the strike zone, originally thought that even if he couldn't get a hit after going on the court, he would find a way to knock out Sawamura Eijun's ball.
The atmosphere is so weird, Sawamura seems to be the protagonist of the whole world. The Daocheng Industry High School baseball team is like a villain.
Speaking of villains, they are all flattering!
The current Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team is a bit like a clown.
If the game continues like this, the momentum of the Qingdao High School baseball team will definitely become stronger and stronger.
In a game, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
If the momentum of the Qingdao High School baseball team becomes stronger, then the momentum of the Daocheng Industry High School baseball team will naturally weaken.
so,
It is necessary to curb Sawamura's rhythm.
But before Baihe went on stage, Superintendent Guoyou specially instructed them.
Don't be timid, be brave and swing!
Use bunts or precision strikes to block Sawamura Eijun's pitching momentum.
Using such a method to confront Sawamura Eijun is tantamount to giving Seidou the number of eliminations in vain.
This is really two skins, no matter what you say, it makes sense.
For example, if you use bunt, it can indeed block the momentum of Sawamura Eijun's strikeouts.
But considering the defensive strength of Qingdao High School's baseball team, it's actually not much different from the number of outs.
How do you say this?
No matter how thick-skinned Bai He was, he couldn't use bunt at this time.
He could only bite the bullet and confront Eijun Sawamura on the mound head-on.
His eyes were firmly locked on Eijun Sawamura, and in Shirakawa's mind, what Carlos said before began to emerge.
Sawamura Eijun's previous pitch was a bit like a jet ball.
Of course, no matter what kind of ball is in the hands of Eijun Sawamura, it will definitely change, and there must be a big gap with the original change ball.
So does this jet ball!
First of all, the magnitude of the change is greater, which makes people feel unprepared.
Another one is the ball speed of this kind of ball.
I don't know what the reason is, this ball completely violates the common sense of physics.
Generally speaking, the greater the change range of the changing ball, the slower the speed must be.
The greater the range of change, the greater the air resistance, the greater the force of the ball itself, and the more excess force exerted by the pitcher...
And here is the weirdest thing about Sawamura Eijun's throw.
With such a large change, the speed of the ball has not decreased, but has increased.
Even faster than a straight ball!
Is this reasonable?
This is definitely unreasonable.
Therefore, Karl Rose kept secret about Eijun Sawamura's new changing ball.
It's not that he doesn't want to share the information with his teammates, but that he doesn't know what to say to them?
Even if he said such a thing, who would believe it?
"What's your suggestion?"
As a partner in the team, Baihe believed in Karl Rose's judgment very much. Since he has no way to express that kind of ball in detail, it is useless for him to force him.
In this case, it is better to ask him what kind of advice he has for himself.
"Give up that kind of ball and start with other balls! Generally speaking, Sawamura will not hold on to one kind of ball."
This matter, Karl Rose has clearly been thought through. The suggestions given are very practical.
"it is good!"
Standing in the strike zone now, looking at Eijun Sawamura on the mound. Bai He also had to sigh with emotion, sometimes people's talents are really not enviable.
Just like Sawamura in front of me.
It takes at least a few months, or even half a year, for other pitchers to hone a change ball.
After training, this kind of ball is not necessarily suitable for pitchers.
So generally speaking, a pitcher doesn't learn too much changeup, especially in high school.
One to two, more than three to four.
Generally speaking, this is the limit!
Going one step further, there are pitchers who can have more than 4 kinds of changeup balls.
It is rare across the country.
Like Sawamura Eisei, there are more than a dozen types of guys just because of the change balls that others have summed up for him.
Whether it is now, in the past, or even in the future.
None appeared!
The most exasperating thing is that the changing balls developed by others are still very advanced.
It's really damn good to compare people with others, and to compare goods with goods should be thrown away.
Feeling emotion in his heart, Bai He also secretly made up his mind. He will not be willing to bow down just because of Sawamura Eijun's excellence.
That's not his Baihe's style.
On the contrary, the better Eijun Sawamura performed, the more he wanted to hit his ball.
After ditching that changeup shot, just aim for the straight and quirky shots!
After Shirakawa made up his mind, Sawamura Eijun's pitch. Also arrived as promised.
It was as if it had been discussed with Bai He in advance.
coming!
Looking at the flying white ball, a trace of astonishment flashed in Bai He's eyes.
Shirakawa is very familiar with Sawamura Eijun's pitching posture.
Not to mention how many times he has watched it on the video tape, just this face-to-face duel. His fight with Sawamura Eijun has also reached double digits.
In this case, he is very familiar with every move of Sawamura Eijun when he pitches.
As for Sawamura, no matter what kind of changes are cast.
His pitching posture has never changed.
This has also become one of the characteristics of the Great Demon King Sawamura.
Because no flaws can be seen from the movements, it is even more difficult for others to aim at the ball they want to hit.
But this time, very strangely, Eijun Sawamura's pitching posture changed.
The distance he strides is obviously greater than before, and the center of gravity is lower than before...
this is?
As if a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across his mind, Bai He instantly understood what was going on.
This is Sawamura Eijun's new change ball.
It's the same as what that guy Carlos described, and it can be clearly seen.
After seeing it, Bai He naturally didn't take a shot against the ball.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
But that's not the end. Immediately after that ball, Sawamura Eijun threw the second ball with almost exactly the same posture.
coming!
Seeing this ball, Bai He almost couldn't restrain the desire in his body.
He wants to swing!
But in the end, reason overcame desire, and Bai He still believed in Karl Rose's words.
He believed that Carlos wouldn't be bragging about it. In this ball, there must be something that he didn't figure out.
In the end he missed the ball again.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!!"
For two consecutive balls, Bai He didn't even swing his bat.
He was naturally pursued.
On the next last ball, Eijun Sawamura made another big stride.
Seeing this scene, Bai He frowned into a knot.
It is said to bring one belt and two but not three.
Sawamura Eijun has completely ignored this rule, and he directly uses this kind of ball as a conventional weapon.
Seeing this scene, Bai He was not the first to think about what should he do?
Instead, get angry!
This kind of change ball played by Sawamura Eijun is placed in the hands of other pitchers. Who wouldn't keep it as a treasure?
It is afraid of melting in the mouth, and afraid of falling in the hand.
It will never be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. It is definitely used as a trump card and a decisive goal.
But here in Sawamura, everything seems to have changed.
This kind of ball has become Sawamura's regular weapon just like ordinary straight balls and weird balls.
Never heard of this...
No matter how mysterious the ball is, Sawamura Eijun is so unrestrained, and sooner or later the hitter will adapt.
He will definitely suffer!
Although I secretly hate Sawamura Eijun for not knowing restraint.
But Baihe also had to admit that as far as the moment is concerned, he has nothing to do with this kind of ball.
Although after being chased, he swung.
But the baseball managed to bypass the obstruction of the bat and got into Miyuki's glove.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
"strike out!!!"
Followed by Cheng Gongming.
So far, Sawamura Eijun has thrown five or six shots like that.
Although the players of the Daocheng Industry High School baseball team have never made a hit, they somehow know what is going on with the ball?
It should be on the same trajectory as a jet ball, faster than a straight ball.
I have to say that such a pitch that violates the rules of physics is really a headache.
But after understanding what's going on, you can still come up with a strategy against it.
Swing early and hit the ball at the angle of the jet.
That's what Cheng Gongming did, and it was very successful.
The first swing misses.
On the second ball, he bumped the ball out of bounds.
"The outside world!"
Seeing Cheng Gongming hit the ball, the players of Daocheng Industry High School baseball team were terribly excited.
Originally, they had actually given up hope, because they themselves had no way to hit Eijun Sawamura's ball.
I didn't expect such a surprise.
Maybe, make persistent efforts...
Just when the friends of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School fell into fantasy, a cold smile was drawn on the corner of Miyuki's mouth.
Level four, rocket, first quarter off!
Sawamura Eijun and Miyuki can be regarded as level four change balls, and rocket balls are of course not that simple.
Strictly speaking, rocket ball is not only a kind of ball, but a collection of several kinds of balls.
Simply taking out a certain kind is the level of level three, and it is not even considered brilliant in level three.
But when these kinds of balls are combined together, they will play a complementary role.
Narimiya Ming, who had just knocked the ball out, was full of ambition and ready to make persistent efforts.
At this time, Sawamura Eijun's third ball was thrown.
Cheng Gongming once again swung the bat according to the rules just now, and then he found miraculously that the ball was gone!
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
"strike out!!"
"strike out!!"
Nine balls, three strikeouts, three ups and three downs.
Sawamura on the mound continued to show off his might as the Great Demon King.
The fans in the stands were mesmerized.
With the end of the first half of the seventh inning, the atmosphere on the scene was fired to a peak.
After winning these three strikeouts, Sawamura Eijun scored 18 strikeouts in this game.
In one fell swoop, he broke the record for strikeouts in a single game in the West Tokyo Regional Competition.
