In the first half of the 3rd inning, Jinmaru was quickly out.
While he has some insane potential, the bigger the scene, the better his performance.
But his ability obviously has an upper limit, and when he met Kouki Yoshida, the effect was obviously greatly discounted.
In the end, he didn't even touch the ball and was out.
When he returned to the rest area, the young man had a gloomy expression on his face.
"You don't have to be upset, the other party has bet his entire life on the last year of high school. I'm afraid there is a big problem with his usual training methods. That's why he can get such a strong strength. Even if you are not his opponent for the time being, wait After a few years, you may not be qualified to fight him."
Kanemaru was blushed by Sawamura Eijun's words.
Although the two had a good relationship in private, Sawamura Eijun seldom comforted him like this.
Sawamura Eijun's way of cheering him up on weekdays is like a lesson.
"If you can't even hit this kind of ball, don't come back alive."
That is the normal painting style of Eijun Sawamura.
This guy in front of me is not someone else pretending to be, is he?
Or……
This guy has been secretly caring about himself, but he is afraid that he will know?
Shaking his head, Jin Wan pushed aside the inappropriate content that popped up in his mind.
"Really?"
Kanemaru looked at Sawamura eagerly and asked.
The blow to him just now was too great, and it even made him doubt his own swing.
At this time, he needs encouragement and comfort.
Otherwise, after this game is over, he is likely to be hit hard.
And it's not just this game. With the promotion of other teams, the probability of the Qingdao High School baseball team meeting old friends is increasing.
If he really met them, Kanemaru would be hit harder and harder.
Everyone is in the same age group, but there is such a big gap in strength?
No matter who this matter is on, it is enough to arouse their reflection.
Don't look at Jin Wan who is laughing and joking on the surface, but he is actually a very arrogant person in his heart.
He has been on the Qingdao High School baseball team for a year and a half.
At this time, what you say about freshmen or not, or what grades you talk about, is all about releasing carbon dioxide.
If it doesn't work at this time, basically the players are at that level.
As a friend, Sawamura Eijun certainly couldn't just watch Kanamaru go on like this.
In fact, he has improved a lot during this period of time, but compared to other players on the Qingdao High School baseball team, his improvement speed is still a little slower after all.
For example, his friend Tojo.
Originally, the strength of the two should be between brothers, at least the strength of the strike is like this.
But until now.
Tojo has already thrown Kinmaru down the street.
If it weren't for his excellent defensive skills, he might not even get the position of the main third baseman.
"Believe me, your progress is not slow. It's just that you haven't ushered in your own qualitative change. Just like Senior Kuramochi and Senior Maedo, didn't they have been in a tough battle before? But now, they have been completely reborn. Although not so much You can be directly promoted to the top player in the country, but you can also be regarded as a first-class player in the country. As long as you continue to work hard and take every step steadily, your future is also unlimited."
Kanamaru was fooled by Sawamura Eijun, and his whole body was dizzy.
In Seidou High School's baseball team, there are not many people who do not believe in Sawamura Eijun.
They may not believe some words when others say them, but if they come from Sawamura Eijun's mouth.
They are generally convinced.
Although Sawamura Eijun seldom gave advice to others before, as long as he gave advice, the strength of the players would have breakthroughs to varying degrees.
From Chris before, to Miyuki now.
Everyone said that the brilliance of their two geniuses was covered by the brilliance of the Great Demon King.
But who knows, it is precisely because they have cooperated with Sawamura Eijun that their strength is more than one level stronger than before.
Not just them, including Cang Mo, including the freshman juniors.
As long as you get close to Eijun Sawamura and get some pointers from him.
The state of the whole person will immediately undergo a radical change.
It's just that he generally doesn't give pointers to others easily.
Even his good friend Haruichi Kominato took the initiative to ask him in front of him.
Sawamura didn't give Minato any advice either.
Instead, tell him: "It's not the time yet, you are still far away from your bottleneck, just practice according to your previous rhythm. When you reach the bottleneck, you feel that practicing alone is not enough to improve your strength. Then It's not too late for me to give you some advice. At present, try to improve your strength. You are 5 centimeters taller than Ryosuke-senpai. Why is your strength so much different from that of your brother?"
Sawamura, who has always been stingy in giving advice to others, now took the initiative to teach Kanamaru, and said that Kanemaru's future is limitless.
Not only Kanemaru himself was excited, but also the eyes of the friends around him were different from before.
Seeing everyone's performance like this, Eijun Sawamura opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Conscience, he really didn't mean that.
The limitless he said is compared to the current Jin Wan, which is not the state they imagined.
It's just that, how can the current Sawamura Eijun speak such words?
Once out, no one hits base.
The duel on the field continued, and Kuramochi, who was the first starter, stood on the strike zone for the second time.
The first time he played against Yoshida Guanghui, he is still very impressed.
He didn't even touch the ball himself!
This feeling is too aggrieved!
He has formed his own style since holding positions, and he has never suffered such a big loss.
Looking at his opponent now, there was inevitably a bit of ferocity in his eyes.
"It's scary!"
Being stared at by Kuramo with prey-like eyes, even Yoshida Kouki couldn't keep completely calm.
He glanced back at Kuramo coldly, and at the same time he was thinking of a solution to Kuramo.
"Whoosh!"
After thinking about it for four or five seconds, Yoshida regained his stance and threw the ball.
The posture and momentum of his pitching, and the speed at which the baseball flies, seem to be the same as before.
Cang Mo didn't dare to be careless.
The failure of the previous swing left him with a little psychological shadow.
This time, he would never allow himself to be so ashamed again.
He must hit the ball and hit the ball hard.
I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Kuramochi feels that the ball that flies over now seems to be slower than the last time they fought.
He really didn't have time to react last time.
But this time is different.
Although the overall speed of the ball is still very fast, Kuramochi feels that he is sure to hit the ball.
The chance is now!
There is no reason for Cangche to let go of such an opportunity that finally appeared.
After watching the baseball fly, he decisively swung the bat in his hand.
The first ball is shot!
Even though he didn't hit a single ball in the last round, Yoichi Kuramochi chose to swing the bat without hesitation this time.
He trusted his instincts, and this time was different from the previous one.
He must be able to hit the ball and slam the small white ball out.
"Ping!"
Kuramochi's premonition was not wrong, this time he really hit the ball.
The bat hit the white ball hard, and the ball flew out.
The joy on Kuramochi's face did not fade away, so he let go of the bat in his hand and rushed to first base.
It's just that the white ball that he hit didn't fall to the ground.
Instead, it flew high and flew all the way to the outfield.
The outfielder of the Jinzunong High School baseball team was well prepared for this shot.
He waited early on where the baseball would land, and caught the ball steadily.
"Snapped!"
"Out!!"
Kuramochi hit the ball with great difficulty, and it ended hastily like this.
In the rest area of Qingdao High School baseball team.
The friends were also dumbfounded by such a change.
Miyuki glanced at Sawamura next to him for confirmation.
He had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't know if his guess was the truth?
Seeing Miyuki's face, Sawamura Eijun nodded subtly.
That's right, Miyuki's guess was not wrong.
All of this is pre-arranged.
Kuramochi didn't really hit Yoshida's ball, it wasn't so much that he hit it as Yoshida gave it to him on purpose.
That guy Yoshida made up his mind from the very beginning and wanted to use defense to get the number of outs.
In the words of Sawamura and Miyuki Kazuya, the other party made it clear that they wanted to fish.
"At first, I thought it would be tricky enough for that guy to suddenly emerge with two new changing pitches, but I didn't expect to be such a tough and flexible pitcher."
Miyuki said something very emotional.
Yoshida's performance is really eye-catching, and Sawamura Eijun half a year ago is no more than that.
Possesses a sharp change ball, a good pitching rhythm, and a combination of hard and soft methods.
How many of the opponents that the Seido High School baseball team encountered before were defeated by methods like Sawamura Eijun's?
I'm afraid there are too many to count.
The current Yoshida has quite the demeanor of Sawamura Eijun at that time.
Even though it was Sawamura half a year ago, his strength was at the level of a big devil.
Before the game, the friends of Qingdao High School baseball team did not guess that Yoshida was such a formidable opponent.
Two outs, no hits.
At this time, it was Kominato Haruichi's turn to attack, and he was also dealt with by the high fly ball before.
Standing behind him in the waiting zone was Eijun Sawamura.
Theoretically speaking, as long as Kominato Haruichi can score a single hit at this time.
Then the exciting moment of this game is coming.
Ace vs. Ace!
The head-to-head confrontation between the big devil Sawamura Eijun and Yoshida Kouki.
Although this is not the first time the two have played against each other, they have already played against each other in the first round.
But at that time, because the two people had different scruples in their hearts, neither of them could go all out.
They fought against each other while retaining a certain strength.
The private goals of both of them have been achieved.
Counting the previous fights, it can be regarded as half a catty.
Sawamura Eijun is slightly stronger because they scored a point first.
They are faster than their opponents.
But that's all.
Speaking of other aspects, the Qingdao High School baseball team is not necessarily much better than others.
