Chapter 126: Sawamura's Choice

Miyuki Kazuya gave up his plan to play the tiebreaker.

Although he is very eager in his heart, as the captain of the team, he has no choice but to be willful.

The captain has the responsibility of the captain, and at this time, he must shoulder this responsibility.

In this game, Akira Furutani pitched instead of Eijun Sawamura.

The purpose is to rotate, so as not to consume too much Sawamura Eijun's physical strength.

On the one hand, this is to prepare for the next two games, and it is also for the growth of Eijun Sawamura.

According to experts, if a pitcher throws more than 120 pitches in a game.

Then he should rest for three or four days before continuing such a game.

Otherwise, the pitcher's shoulders can't rest at all. Once the shoulders can't rest, the possible consequences are very serious and dangerous.

The consequences of excessive use of shoulders can easily ruin one's talent, making it difficult for one's life to make further progress.

In severe cases, it may even be disabled.

Think about it, how serious is this consequence?

But the competition in Jiashien only lasted for two weeks. In the early stage, there were more teams, and there was still a relatively long gap.

In the later stage, like the top 16 and the top eight games.

There are fewer and fewer teams participating, but the schedule is getting denser.

Players have to play every other day, or even play consecutively.

In this case, how can the shoulders be rested?

It is difficult for a team with only one pitcher to pitch for a long time in Koshien.

Even if such a weirdo appears occasionally, most of them have crippled themselves.

It is precisely because of these considerations that Supervisor Kataoka and the coaching staff of the Qingdao High School baseball team will make a decision.

In this game, let Sawamura Eijun rotate.

Otherwise, if you only consider the interests of the team, although Jiang Guxiao's strength is not too weak.

But the Qingdao High School baseball team, whether it's their supervisor or the players.

They are more willing to believe in the power of the big devil Sawamura Eijun.

He is the team's ace pitcher, and up to now, he has never disappointed the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Every time the team encounters a critical or crisis situation, he can step forward to help the team resolve the crisis.

Compared with Sawamura Eijun, Fugu Akatsuki is far behind in this aspect.

That's not the most important thing.

Sawamura Eijun's ability to deal with crises is only his secondary ability.

The most important advantage of him is his stability.

No matter how complicated and crisis the situation is, he can always stabilize his mentality, exert his strength stably, and lead the team forward.

In the case that the strength of Qingdao High School baseball team itself is not weak.

Sawamura Eijun's approach will undoubtedly greatly increase the chances of Seido High's baseball team winning.

Sawamura is now in rotation.

Although the situation of the game was very good, the Qingdao High School baseball team was not yet sure of winning.

As a partner, Miyuki also of course hopes to help Eijun Sawamura.

It allows him to take a good rest in this game and concentrate on preparing for the next semi-final and final.

And to do that, you have to win the game first.

Compared to the tiebreaker duel with the opponent, his most important task now is to choose the right pitch and score cleanly and beautifully.

The bat in Miyuki's hand was raised high, and his eyes were firmly locked on the mound.

Wait for the white ball to fly over.

Miyuki's glasses, under the sunlight, had a reflection.

It's now!

Qi Haiyao, the ace pitcher of Xinglong High School, is relatively kind.

The first ball even boldly used an inside corner kick, and it was a straight ball.

Miyuki didn't intend to spoil him.

After seeing the ball, he swung the bat in his hand without hesitation, ready to hit the ball hard.

The white ball kept approaching, and Miyuki Kazuya, who counted the timing, swung decisively.

Just when the bat was about to touch the baseball, Miyuki noticed that the small white ball seemed to have changed suddenly.

This change was very fast, until after the blow was over, Miyuki couldn't believe it.

Was it my hallucination just now, or has baseball really changed?

"Ping!"

The bat hits the white ball, judging from the shock force in the hand.

Yuxing knew that he missed the shot!

This conclusion is easy to draw, whether it is the force of the shock from the palm of the hand or the angle at which the baseball is hit.

All explain this.

After the ball was hit, Miyuki let go of the bat and ran to first base.

Although he also knew that what he did was futile, but besides doing this, what else could he do?

Miyuki Kazuya didn't have an answer in his heart, so he could only run forward in a daze.

As expected, the ball he hit bounced off the ground.

It was caught by the Xinglong High School infielder and passed to Matsumoto at first base.

"Snapped!"

"Out!!"

Without any accidents, Miyuki was out so cleanly.

Although in this round of duel, with the powerful home run of Sawamura Eijun.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team successfully got the first point lead.

Let the game enter their rhythm!

However, the friends were not happy.

Whether it was that amazing double play, or Miyuki Kazuya's infield bounce.

Tell Qingdao High School baseball team friends clearly.

Today's game will definitely not be as easy as they thought before.

In the rest area of ​​Qingdao High School baseball team.

Sawamura Eijun looked at Miyuki angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to shoot his decisive shot? That kind of shot is very wicked, and I don't know how that guy shot it? Thinking that after you come back, we will think about it carefully and think of a strike strategy. You are better, just take the shot!"

How bitter is Miyuki's mood right now?

Needless to say, he felt that even with his head down, bitter water would flow from his mouth.

In fact, after listening to Sawamura Eijun's suggestion, he really didn't intend to take a shot against Nanami Haruka's decisive shot.

That kind of ball was hit by Sawamura Eijun at the last moment, and it was a home run!

At that time, Miyuki also thought that no matter how good Nanami Haruka's mental quality was, he would not be able to throw that kind of ball with the first shot at this time.

This is unreasonable!

100% of the hitters will be psychologically affected by the ball that has just been hit by a home run.

The probability of using that kind of ball continuously is less than 10%.

He bet on that 90%.

He didn't expect that the opponent was tougher than he thought, even if the winning ball had just been hit by Sawamura Eijun.

After that, I can take out that kind of ball without hesitation.

In this case, they were generals instead.

"Don't talk about these useless, talk about that kind of ball!"

Miyuki became even more interested in Haruka Nanami's winning goal.

But now they don't have time to discuss this, the game continues, and it's their turn to play defense again.

In this round, Xinglong High School's fourth bat was the first to stand on the strike zone.

Qihaiyao!

Ace pitcher and fourth batter.

There is no need to describe too much, just by looking at this arrangement, one can see Qi Haiyao's status in Xinglong University.

The well-deserved first person.

He was back in the dugout after being kicked out of Sawamura's home run earlier.

Originally, Qi Haiyao thought that those bad friends around him would definitely ridicule him.

This is commonplace in Nagano.

People often compare him and Sawamura Eijun at the same time.

As the two best pitchers in Nagano Prefecture, there are still many things to compare between them.

The result of the final comparison is.

Qi Haiyao lost, and it was a miserable loss.

To put it bluntly, there is simply no comparison with Sawamura Eijun.

The gap is too big!

Now the two are facing each other head-on, and he lost to Eijun Sawamura in the head-to-head confrontation.

No matter how you think about those guys, they won't say anything to him.

But the strange thing is that when he returned to the rest area, everyone's reaction was very flat.

They seem to feel that this is all taken for granted.

Nanami Haruka lost to Sawamura Eijun, shouldn't this be a matter of course?

The players from Xinglong High School were not surprised at all.

On the contrary, if Nanami Haruka really won Sawamura in the duel just now.

They will be even more strange!

You actually won, do you think it's strange?

It's too normal to lose!

Although the friends didn't say anything harsh, Qi Haiyao felt uncomfortable at all.

He felt that he was completely abandoned by these friends.

All of them took it for granted that they were not Sawamura Eijun's opponent in the first place.

No matter how hard you struggle, it's useless.

Clay figurines are still three points hot, not to mention players like Qi Haiyao.

The arrogance in his bones can poke a hole in the sky.

How could he bear such treatment?

"sorry!"

Back in the rest area, he first apologized to all his teammates and coaches.

Feng Xiang Long Yi frowned slightly after hearing his apology.

Then he said very calmly.

"I can't completely blame you for the loss of points just now. If I say it, I can only blame our opponent for being too strong!"

When he said these words, Fengxiang Longyi felt a little emotional in his tone.

When he was in Nagano, it can be said that he watched Sawamura Eijun grow up step by step.

Although at that time, he already knew that Sawamura Eijun's strength was extraordinary.

If it continues to develop, it is very likely to become that kind of legendary player.

But the consumption was so high in middle school, can Sawamura Eijun go so far in the future?

No one can say no!

If he continues to burn his potential like in Chicheng again.

Maybe before he reached the professional circle, he practiced and disabled himself.

That won't work.

Sawamura Eijun himself seems to be very aware of this, so he did not choose to join a grassroots team like he did in Akagi.

Re-create the brilliance belonging to the grassroots.

He chose to join the country's top giants Qingdao High School baseball team.

At that time, he made such a choice, whether it was the folks in his hometown or other media across the country.

It's all a little hard to understand.

Joining the giants, this choice is understandable.

But Qingdao at that time was not the best choice.

The Qingdao High School baseball team hadn't made it to Koshien for several years, so it definitely wasn't enough in terms of exposure.

Moreover, Nishitokyo is not Sawamura's hometown, and he doesn't seem to have any reason to serve Seidou.

To sum up, the choice made by Sawamura Eijun at the time was not bad.

But definitely not good either.

At the very least, it wasn't the best choice for Sawamura back then.

But now it seems that Sawamura Eijun's growth after entering the Seido High School baseball team, and the team's attention and arrangements for him.

All signs.

Everyone else was wrong, there was nothing wrong with Sawamura Eijun's original choice.

Judging from the current results, this is even his best choice!
