Chapter 198: The Deadlock Breaking Home Run (2 in 1)

Top half of four innings, two outs.

Hongo, who was born in Hokkaido, is worthy of his monster's true colors.

In the process of playing against Qingdao High School baseball team, he showed unparalleled strength.

Very strong!

Really strong!

The Qingdao High School baseball team players who have experienced many battles are often invincible when they play against other teams.

In the process of head-to-head confrontation, they rarely lose to each other.

At most, you will come and go, and the fight will be evenly matched.

But in today's game, including Sawamura Eijun and Miyuki Kazuya who are regarded as spiritual pillars.

In the process of playing against Hongxiang before, they didn't take any advantage.

They were in a mess and lost a complete defeat.

In the first three innings, it was okay to say that facing such a fast ball speed, such precise ball control, and such terrifying pitch changes.

Even the players of the Wangwang Qingdao High School baseball team are elites who have experienced many battles.

They will inevitably be confused.

There is also the possibility of not being able to hit the ball for a while.

But in the 4th inning, the top of Seido High's baseball team hit the line and played against Masamune Hongo for the second time.

That cruel result clarified a fact to everyone.

Hongo's authentic strength is inexplicable.

As a result of their 2nd round matchup, the Seido High School baseball team hit the first and second bats that were not weak.

It was solved neatly.

Not only that, judging from the content of their duel.

It's also hard to see what's going on.

It's hard for people to imagine,

The No. 1 and 2 batters of Qingdao High School's baseball team, the appearance of hitting the ball cleanly.

Especially when the opponent is Hong Kong, this situation may be even rarer.

Seeing the small details, through this small detail, you can actually see a lot of things.

At least analyze and understand from the perspective of the audience.

No matter how big the Wangwang Qingdao High School baseball team was before? How advanced are their strike strengths?

When facing this opponent in front of them, none of them had any advantage.

They are now at a comprehensive disadvantage and may be counterattacked by their opponents at any time.

Not to mention, in the current situation, the Qingdao High School baseball team itself does not take advantage of it.

"If there is no way to score in a short time, the Qingdao High School baseball team will be in big trouble!"

Fujio, a senior reporter of Baseball Kingdom magazine, saw the essence of the problem through the appearance.

He sharply pointed out the huge problem that Qingdao High School baseball team is facing now.

In today's game, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were full of confidence.

Why do they have that confidence?

There are two main reasons. One is the confidence that the title of King Qingdao brings to them.

The other is because they trust Eijun Sawamura's pitching.

But this kind of unconditional trust must have an upper limit.

If the situation of the game has not changed for a long time. The original confidence will form an unprecedented pressure on these little friends of Qingdao High School baseball team.

They will subconsciously think, is there really nothing wrong with them?

Can Qingdao High's baseball team really win?

The original firm confidence is gone, and the rest can only be confusion.

If things really come to that point, then the situation will be too unfavorable for the friends of Qingdao High School baseball team!

Water has no normal state!

This sentence is also common in baseball games.

If the Qingdao High School baseball team can't seize the opportunity that belongs to them now.

Then it is estimated that this advantage will turn into a disadvantage soon.

At this moment, Sawamura Eijun stepped into the strike zone.

Although I was sweating for the Seidou High School baseball team, Fujio was still inexplicably relieved when he saw Eijun Sawamura standing on the strike zone.

It's not just the players of Qingdao High School's baseball team who have full confidence in their ace.

The spectators who often watch the Qingdao High School baseball team have an unprecedented level of trust in the Qingdao High School baseball team's ace.

No matter what kind of crisis the team encounters, as long as Sawamura Eijun stands on the court.

Everything seems to be no problem!

At this time, Fujio also hopes that Sawamura Eijun can behave like he always did.

Lead the team forward!

Wooden bat!

Sawamura, who had just stepped onto the strike zone, immediately attracted onlookers.

It's not that his hitting posture is so weird this time, it's mainly because of the bat in his hand.

No longer a metal texture, but a wooden bat.

In the high school baseball world, there are only a handful of people who use this kind of bat.

Metal bats because of the larger contact surface. Even when hitting, it is not able to accurately hit the center of the ball.

You can also rely on brute force to forcibly fly the baseball far away.

So in high school baseball, there are certain advantages to using metal bats.

Sawamura Eijun used metal bats all the time.

Now that he has reached the most critical duel with Hongo, it is said that he should pursue the details, and he must be perfect in every detail.

How can you easily change your favorite bat?

Isn't this giving benefits to the opponent?

The audience is puzzled by the fact that Sawamura Eijun temporarily changed the bat.

In the rest area of ​​the Qingdao High School baseball team, the friends felt differently about this.

Sawamura Eijun's brain-dead fans think that no matter what Sawamura Eijun uses, even give him a table tennis bat.

He can still hit the ball!

If you are a little rational, you will inevitably be a little worried.

Haruichi Kominato, who had just lent out his bat, was even more worried.

Eijun classmate!

He didn't know why Sawamura Eijun did this?

In terms of understanding of wooden bats, there are probably very few people on the Qingdao High School baseball team who can compare to Kominato Spring City.

After all, he is the only hitter on the team who has used a wooden bat for a long time.

Honestly, there are significant disadvantages to using a wood bat.

Especially in high school baseball.

The Ochiai coach of Seidou High School's baseball team once suggested that Kominato Haruichi should practice metal bats instead.

Full marks for hitting skills, as long as Haruichi Kominato can use metal rods, he can hit the ball beautifully.

Then his hit rate and hit rate will definitely soar.

For this, Ochiai is very confident.

But Kominato Haruichi, because of his inner persistence, resolutely continued to use wooden bats.

Although he made such a choice, but you have to ask Xiao Minato Haruichi's inner thoughts?

Which is cheaper, a metal bat or a wooden bat?

It may be difficult for him to give an affirmative answer.

Metal bats still have certain advantages.

You don't need to hit the center of the ball, and you can take the ball far away.

That's the power of a metal bat.

From the perspective of the team, he should resolutely persuade Sawamura Eijun to continue using metal bats.

But just now, when Sawamura Eijun asked him to borrow a wooden bat.

Kominato Haruichi did not refuse.

He hesitated for a few tenths of a second before lending the wooden bat in his hand to Sawamura.

"come on!"

"thanks!"

Sawamura Eijun didn't say a word of nonsense, and after thanking him, he directly stood on the strike zone with the bat.

Renji, the catcher of Troll Otomaki High School, looked at Eijun Sawamura on the strike zone.

Looking at his slightly squatting body, the constantly shaking bat, and the appearance of being ready to shoot at any time.

Alarm bells ringing in my heart!

This feeling is terrible, as if Hong Kong's ball is about to be hit.

Sawamura, who suddenly switched to a wooden bat, left them scratching their heads.

They also couldn't guess, what is the purpose of Sawamura choosing to do this?

The only thing they can know at this time is the only thing they can guess.

That is to solve the opponent!

From the standpoint of Sawamura Eijun, he must be eager to hit the ball.

It's best to be able to hit a home run in one go.

Sawamura Eijun's thoughts are not hard to guess at all.

The key is to guess what action needs to be taken?

In order to truly solve the opponent.

It is not so easy to solve Sawamura Eijun.

Especially when he was on guard, the difficulty factor increased exponentially.

Now he has also switched to a wooden bat.

Although Renji and the others couldn't guess, what was the purpose of Sawamura Eijun doing this?

But there is one thing they know.

They are very clear about Sawamura Eijun's ultimate goal in doing so.

It must be to hit the ball!

"The time for the decisive battle of life and death has arrived!"

Lian Si unceremoniously issued a red warning signal.

He has been keenly aware that the current duel is likely to affect the outcome of the subsequent games.

This is not scaremongering, but seeking truth from facts.

If they can win this duel with Sawamura Eijun, it's okay, if they can't restrain Sawamura Eijun's blow in the end.

Then the fun of the Troll Dai Fujimaki High School baseball team is really big!

In the course of their next confrontation, they might be abused by the players of Qingdao High School baseball team.

One careless step, and the whole game is lost.

For the boys on the Qingdao High School baseball team, any missteps would be disastrous.

The same is true for the players on the Trolls Dai Fujimaki High School baseball team.

Hongo on the pitcher's mound was also keenly aware of it after receiving hints from his partner.

This duel is of great significance!

Even so, he himself did not make too many changes.

He can't change it either.

In today's game against the Qingdao High School baseball team, he fired with all his firepower from the very beginning.

100% or even 120% strength has already exploded.

In this case, even if he realizes that the meaning of the next duel is different.

He has no way to improve his strength again!

After all, he was already fully fired!

Hongo, who was fully fired, ruthlessly threw the white ball in his hand?

"boom!"

When the baseball is flying out, it feels like the sky is collapsing.

Especially scary.

too frightening!

People who see this, especially people who are standing on the strike zone and see this pitch.

I can't help but tremble in my heart.

An instinctive fear arises spontaneously.

People standing on the strike zone will subconsciously have a feeling.

Feeling ashamed!

After watching Masamune Hongo's pitching, turn around and look at their own performance.

I want to die!

Comparing people with others deserves death, and comparing goods with goods should be thrown away.

People are not created equal, especially when it comes to athletic competition.

Some people are born with excellent talents, while others can only be acquired through hard work.

People who have worked hard the day after tomorrow, no matter how hard they try, there will always be a limit across there.

Make you unattainable.

You can also raise your eyes to have a look, but it is impossible to reach it.

Fortunately, Sawamura Eijun has a relatively strong psychological quality.

Even after watching Hongo's pitching, I didn't think that way.

Instead, he watches his opponent, savoring Hongo's pitches.

Even if he is also a pitcher, Sawamura Eijun has to admit it sincerely.

Hongo authentic pitching, there is really a set!

beautiful!

The angle of the baseball's flight, and the resulting changes, seem to be ingenious.

This is a work of art that Sawamura Eijun couldn't bear to desecrate.

Originally, he should have swung at the first pitch, but after seeing such a perfect pitch, Sawamura Eijun subconsciously stopped his idea of ​​swinging.

He watched the baseball fly past his eyes.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

The big devil, Sawamura, didn't even swing the bat in the first place.

This discovery, for fans of the Trolls Dai Fujimaki High School baseball team, is simply too exciting!

Could it be that the idol they support can really restrain the country's number one player, Eijun Sawamura?

As soon as this idea pops up, it will take root and sprout in an instant, just like a weed that has grown crazy.

It will work!

"Hongo! Hongo!!!"

The originally weak cheering sound gradually became louder.

Even in the Koshien arena, you can clearly hear the voices cheering for Hongo.

If those viewers, know what's coming next.

They will definitely regret their impulsiveness and immaturity at the beginning.

Why can't I think about it for a while, and have such a naive idea?

"boom!"

Without allowing others to think too much, the white ball has already roared out.

Seeing the moment the baseball flew, Sawamura Eijun seemed to witness the birth of a work of art.

If possible, he really wanted to continue to appreciate it.

Unfortunately, his opportunities are limited.

Sawamura, who was deeply immersed in that magical state, had perfect control over every detail of Hongo's pitching.

very good!

To be honest, this feeling is really good.

Sawamura Eijun even felt that the whole world was in his hands.

The white ball was long overdue.

Sawamura Eijun can not only see the rotation and changes of the baseball, but even a trace of dust on the baseball can clearly see it.

It's now!

He calculated the direction and timing of the baseball coming.

Then he took a step forward, and with the shift of his body's center of gravity, the bat in his hand roared out.

"Buzz!"

The low swing sounds like it sucked the air out of the strike zone.

Lianji, who was on the catcher's position, instantly became ugly.

He had a hunch that what happened next should be the last thing they wanted to see.

"Ping!"

The white ball was swept away abruptly by the bat.

The baseball flew and flew until it landed in the stands in left field!
