Chapter 229: Sawamura's New Skills

Mishima in the strike zone felt extremely angry.

Originally, when he confronted Sawamura Eijun, he felt a little guilty.

The other party is his idol and the goal he has been moving forward with. Sawamura Eijun's back, like a pole, stood in front of Mishima, guiding him forward.

Although when he dreamed back at midnight, he imagined more than once that he could hit Eijun Sawamura's ball.

It's like when a little boy playing basketball dreams of beating Jordan to the ground.

In fact, Mishima knew very well in his heart that he was still far behind.

Although he is already a very famous star player in the Tokyo area.

But Mishima knew very well that his current level was far behind Sawamura Eijun's.

That's not a star-and-a-half difference.

That kind of gap is already completely different between the two dimensions.

If Sawamura Eijun can show his strength 100%, then in the entire high school baseball world, he is sure to hit Nakasawamura Eijun.

Note that it is a hit, not a hit.

Such hitters will not add up to more than ten people.

Unfortunately, Mishima is not among these 10 people.

To put it bluntly, he is not qualified to compete head-on with Eijun Sawamura at all.

But that was all in the past, as far as the present is concerned, as far as this game is concerned.

Mishima thinks he is still very promising.

Although the huge gap in strength makes him unwilling, but if he can play against Sawamura Eijun in an open and honest manner, and hit Sawamura Eijun's ball.

Mishima was still very happy.

This may be his only chance.

Faced with this kind of opportunity, how could Mishima not be active?

He is very active in trying to hit Eijun Sawamura's ball,

It has even been fully prepared for this.

He's ready to hit the inside corner and swing with all his might.

In this fight, he must show his full potential.

Let his idol take a good look.

Unexpectedly, during the actual competition, Mishima has never been able to find such an opportunity.

To be precise, it was Sawamura Sakae on the mound who never gave him that chance at all.

His first pitch went to the outside corner, and it was a very sharp one, a ball that was attached to the edge of the strike zone in the outside corner.

Mishima, who aimed at the inside corner, had no way to swing a bat for such a ball, no matter how clearly he saw it.

He could only wait patiently.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

During the waiting process, a not-so-beautiful feeling filled Mishima's heart.

Could it be that Sawamura Eijun has seen something?

no, I can not.

Mishima subconsciously shook his head.

There shouldn't be any problems whether I stand or hold the stick.

Relying solely on these, no one should be able to guess his own plan.

Just when Mishima comforted himself and was ready to continue to meet the challenge of Sawamura Eijun.

Sawamura's second ball has already flown over.

This ball is in exactly the same state as the previous ball, and the position of the shot is also similar.

They're all outside corner strike zones, close to the sideline.

crazy!

Mishima felt that his brain cells were simply not enough.

According to Mishima's previous observations, Sawamura Eijun obviously had nearly 70% of the balls before, and all of them were thrown into the inner corner.

How could it be now, two consecutive balls were thrown to the outer corner.

Is this a coincidence, or has he seen something?

Mishima, who was already behind by two strikes, planned to burn the boat at this time.

He couldn't believe it. Sawamura, who had taken so many inside corner kicks before, would not take a single inside corner kick during this duel?

No, absolutely not.

The next ball must be an inside corner! Must be an inside corner.

At this time, Mishima was already a little dazed.

He stared crazily at Sawamura on the mound, waiting for a showdown with Sawamura.

On the mound.

Sawamura Eijun felt it again.

The previous feeling has not disappeared. It is a little risky to shoot the inside corner kick, but if you continue to throw the ball to the outside corner.

There is no risk at all.

Then there is nothing to hesitate, Sawamura Eijun opened his posture and took another outside corner kick.

Mishima on the strike zone felt like his eyeballs were about to pop out.

Inner corner! This time it must be an inside corner kick!

He is very strong-willed and only locks his sights in the area of ​​​​the inner corner.

But he was doomed to be disappointed, although the flying baseball slid a little distance.

But it did not slide to the range of the inner corner, and stayed on the outer corner.

All eyes were fixed on Mishima in the inner corner, and by the time he realized it, it was too late to swing the bat.

In the end, he could only watch the baseball fly past his eyes.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"strike out!!!"

In this way, Sawamura Eijun successfully scored a strikeout.

Since the Qingdao High School baseball team finally won today's victory, there are only 5 outs left.

Although the progress of the game was not much, Eijun Sawamura also gave very few hits.

But because his strength itself has been suppressed, he must go all out when dealing with every opponent.

So Sawamura's consumption in today's game is much greater than in any previous game. At this time, his physical strength is already close to the critical value.

If it was before, Sawamura would definitely make a suggestion and request a substitution.

But now, he didn't do that.

He greedily enjoyed everything on the court, enjoying the fun of playing against players like the Tokyo Stars.

Players need to stimulate each other.

It is precisely because of the players of the Tokyo Star Team that Sawamura Eijun was given enough stimulation.

That's why he awakened to a new potential.

It seems that now, Sawamura Eijun has awakened a new skill.

Although this skill can continue to appear in the future, can it continue to be applied in actual competitions?

It's all unknown.

But this did allow Eisei Sawamura to see further possibilities.

His near-perfect performance also affected the confidence of the players of the Tokyo Star Team.

"Did the guy shoot 110 pitches?"

"I have been entangled many times before, and his number of pitches is definitely not less than this number."

"It is said that this guy's physical strength should have reached its limit long ago, why can't he feel it at all from his pitching?"

Carlos murmured.

The other friends also looked at each other in blank dismay.

They had to admit that what Karl Ross said was very reasonable.

At this time, Sawamura didn't seem to have reached the limit of his physical strength at all.

On the contrary, he gave people the feeling that he was still alive and well.

It seems to be able to devour the opponent at any time.

Ask Mishima who has just come off the field, how is Sawamura Eijun's pitching?

The answer I got was also speechless.

"I feel stronger than before!"

When facing Shirakawa next, Sawamura Eijun maintained his previous rhythm.

He threw the ball where he felt the least danger.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!!"

Even if it is a player of the Tokyo Star Team, when playing against Eijun Sawamura, he must choose the ball first.

It's almost impossible to hit Sawamura's ball if they don't pick the ball in advance.

Baihe did the same, locking the inside corner in advance.

Although Mishima faced Eijun Sawamura in the last game, Sawamura didn't take a single corner kick.

However, Shirakawa analyzed and analyzed, but always believed that the probability of Sawamura's next corner kick was still the greatest.

So after he stood on the strike zone, he also locked his eyes on the inner corner.

It's just that Sawamura seemed to see through his mind, and threw two consecutive balls to the outer corner.

So far, Sawamura Eijun has taken five consecutive outside corners.

Bai He couldn't help but think about it.

Could it be that this guy changed his strategy?

In the previous Sawamura, although he kept changing the ball, the ball was basically based on the inside corner.

This time it suddenly changed to the outer corner!

This feeling of being seen through his mind made Bai He very uncomfortable.

He took a deep look at Sawamura, feeling that the guy on the mound was really unfathomable.

The corner of Bai He's mouth cracked, revealing a cold arc.

He couldn't help but think of the day he cooperated with Eijun Sawamura before.

I have to admit that as a teammate, that guy is really quite reliable.

But as an opponent.

The threat he poses also feels impossible to ignore.

"Next, I have to be serious!"
