On the strike zone, hitter Francis from North America.

Looking at Eijun Sawamura on the mound in disbelief.

In fact, long before he came to Baodao for the competition, he heard from his seniors that there were many things about Sawamura.

The seniors of the North American Dream Team have a deep impression of Sawamura.

After the game ended, it caused a huge sensation in North America. As a junior, Francis asked his predecessors.

"Is that player named Sawamura really that good?"

The senior who heard this question fell into a long silence.

After a long while, he gave Francis an ambiguous answer.

"This is not a question of being strong or not, but a battle of another dimension."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that when you have the opportunity to fight against him, everything will be clear."

In those statements, Sawamura seems to have been described by those guys as a great devil.

It feels like Sawamura is invincible. Anyone who dared to be an enemy of Sawamura would be pushed down to the ground and rubbed hard.

Francis is particularly unwilling to believe such a statement. In his heart, he is the same as most North Americans.

Think they are the best in the world!

No. 1 in this world includes all aspects, not only the strength of the country, but also some sports, especially the sports they play.

They take it for granted that they are number one.

For example, basketball, American football (rugby), and baseball, North America can be called a kingdom.

That kind of feeling is a bit like the mainland saying that it is the kingdom of table tennis, which is the same reason.

Not to mention the first team, the mainland wished that the second team could win the Olympic championship.

There are even jokes like this.

After a table tennis player won the Olympic championship, his coach was very excited.

"The state is good, continue to work hard, and strive to win the National Games championship."

Only after co-authoring and winning the world championship can they be qualified to compete for hegemony in the National Games.

The same goes for North America.

Basketball, football, including baseball.

They are home to the best league in the world.

At the same time, the strength of their national team is also outrageous. Sports in these areas wish they could crush the whole world.

Especially basketball and baseball.

Francis is such a representative, he is still a family.

His father practiced with him when he was young, and he grew up on the hitting field as a child.

This allowed Francis to be very concerned about his own strength and the strength of his national baseball team.

All have high self-confidence.

As for the record of the national team, it is weaker than that of the island country.

In North America, this incident actually had a very bad impact.

But there is no way, those teams in the major leagues spend huge sums of money to pay their players.

They naturally have a great say in the work of the players.

In the eyes of capitalists, the players on major league teams are their property.

Every arm, every arm of these players is money.

If you participate in the national team competition, you will be injured or unable to adjust your condition.

It's too late for them to cry!

Therefore, in Western countries, many outstanding players do not participate in national team competitions.

This is a common phenomenon.

In this way, many players who go to participate in the national team competition are players who cannot play in the team.

They hope to show their strength through the national team's game, so that the supervisors in the major leagues can see themselves.

In this way, the strength of the North American national team will naturally be greatly discounted.

But even the North American national team after the discount.

their strength,

Also sturdy and terrifying.

Now ranked second in the world, only 20 points lower than the island nation.

It is not difficult to see from this that the players from North America do have crazy capital.

In terms of overall strength, they are indeed No. 1.

Francis grew up in such an environment, so he has innate confidence in the strength of North America.

We are the first, of course the first!

At this time, a player suddenly appeared and could challenge North America.

It can be compared with Alan, their strongest young player at this stage.

Naturally someone would be curious.

Now these young players are not hindered by the team, they can freely choose whether to join the national team or not?

Hearing that a No. 1 character like Sawamura has been discovered, of course they want to see and see.

This is a person who can throw balls with Allen without losing the wind.

Before confronting Sawamura Eijun head-on, Francis himself did a lot of psychological construction.

He thought over and over again, all kinds of balls that Eijun Sawamura might have?

Then on the other side, thinking about how to deal with it.

He has watched the game video, and even listened to his seniors explaining it in detail.

Although he has not played against Sawamura head-on before, Francis believes that he already has a great understanding of Sawamura's pitching.

This is a pitcher with a weird changeup, in the words of his predecessors.

Sawamura's pitching is unpredictable!

You can't guess at all, how will baseball change?

For this reason, Francis did not dare to hold the long stick when he first hit.

He had a very short grip on the bat, and he didn't intend to hit Sawamura with a single hit.

Instead, prepare to play it safe and steady.

For the first hit, the most important task is not to hit a home run, or even score.

Even the possibility of being resolved, Francis thought of it.

These are all acceptable in Francis' view.

His most important goal is to study the pitching of Toze Village.

Before he asked those seniors, when they played against Sawamura, they had such a record.

Is it all because of strength?

Almost all the seniors shook their heads.

According to those seniors, of course there are also reasons for strength.

But it is not the most important.

For that match alone, if they had known Sawamura's strength in advance and had prepared for it.

Just a small Qingdao High School baseball team, it should be very difficult to beat them.

Although Qingdao was already well-known at that time, it picked several venues in North America in a row, and finally won all of them.

The North American Dream Team also studied them before the official game.

But the research at that time was very superficial.

Everyone just intuitively believed that if they played against the Qingdao High School baseball team, they would definitely win the final victory.

With this basic understanding, of course they would not go too far to study what kind of team Qingdao High School baseball team is?

They just waited for the live game to drive the Qingdao High School baseball team off the altar.

Unexpectedly, they finally underestimated Qingdao.

Or to be more precise, they underestimated Sawamura, the ace pitcher of the Seido High School baseball team who was extolled into the altar.

Before playing against other North American teams, Sawamura Eijun's strength was at most 80 points.

The strength is very strong and the performance is very stable.

But from the perspective of the North American Dream Team, Sawamura's strength is nothing more than that.

If they wanted to, they should be able to kick Sawamura off the altar at any time.

Unexpectedly, in the end, they were severely beaten in the face.

Sawamura's strength is far beyond their imagination.

He originally only had 80 points, but in the game against North America, he showed his strength of 120 points.

At that time, the players of the North American Dream Team clearly realized that Sawamura's strength was far more than what they saw.

It's just because the previous opponent was too bad, he didn't need to fully show his strength.

So in the end it will show that result.

Once there is a need, his strength will explode completely.

That terrifying sense of existence is very astonishing.

Francis, who heard these rumors, thought that the seniors were beaten into a daze, so he said that.

Because they had never seen a pitcher like Sawamura before, they were directly stunned during the head-to-head confrontation.

Otherwise, if they were mentally prepared, it would be just a small Sawamura.

That's not easy!

Francis thinks so. Strategically, he despises the opponent very much, but in the duel, he attaches great importance to it.

Although this little guy has various immaturities, he was born in a baseball family and has a deep understanding of baseball.

When confronting Sawamura, Francis showed his own characteristics to the fullest.

He thinks that he is already very cautious and can definitely put a lot of pressure on Sawamura.

result……

Sawamura on the mound, just threw a pitch.

Francis was dumbfounded!

That is, what is it?

During Sawamura's entire throwing action, he didn't even see the drop point at all.

As the seniors said, because of its soft body, it can swing its arms like whips.

So Sawamura can completely hide his throwing action behind his body and gloves.

Just this action alone, the degree of completion of Sawamura has already surprised Francis.

Originally, he thought that his seniors were exaggerating, otherwise he might not have seen it at all.

After seeing it with his own eyes, Francis had to admit it.

My seniors are really not exaggerating at all.

When Sawamura pitched, he didn't even see a bit of it.

When he saw the white light and shadow, the ball had already flown out.

That's all.

The key is the flying ball, why is it so fast?

Because you can't see where the ball is released, Sawamura's pitch from the strike zone will appear faster than the real ball speed.

Francis had just seen the white dot.

In the next instant, Bai Dian had already broken through layers of obstacles and arrived in front of him.

After the ball flew over, it smashed heavily into Lian Si's glove.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

On the catcher's position, Lian Si felt a faint numbness in his gloved hand.

So strong, so tough!

This is not the first time he has received a pitch from Sawamura. Before playing, he was actually worried about Sawamura's state.

I don't know if Sawamura can enter the situation from the very beginning.

Now it looks like he's overthinking it.

Standing opposite was a terrifying existence that made all the excellent hitters of the island nation's teams have to bow their heads.

Great Devil Sawamura Eijun!

This is a living legend.

How can his pitching state be compared with ordinary people.

Renji's partner Hongo, if he is in good condition, can show his strength 100%.

It is also possible to be on par with Sawamura in a short period of time.

But like this at the beginning, even the whole game maintains such a high level of pitching.

Hongo couldn't do it.

It's not just that Hongo can't do it, all the outstanding pitchers in the country, looking around, I'm afraid there is no second person who can achieve this terrifying level.

Only Sawamura Eijun.

Only he himself can do it, to the extent of horror like now.

"Good shot!"

Liansi passed the ball back.

While passing the ball, he cast a slight glance at Francis on the strike zone.

The lad is a bit silly!

Standing blankly on the strike zone, he couldn't see any reaction from the whole person.

The ball that Sawamura Eijun threw just now should have frightened him.

Lian Si was not surprised at all.

If you don't do enough psychological construction, there is no way to pitch against Sawamura.

Just looking at it with eyes, I feel that Uesawamura's pitch may be faster than the 160-kilometer ball.

Isn't this cheating!

If you play Sawamura's ball with this feeling, it's no wonder they can hit it?

Let alone hit the ball, according to this feeling, they struggled to see the ball.

Of course, this does not mean that Sawamura's pitching is invincible.

In fact, Sawamura's pitching is also lacking, and it is obviously lacking.

Otherwise, other people really don't have to mess around.

The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real.

Sawamura's ball speed just looks like 160 kilometers, but of course it didn't reach it.

If the opponent's talent is high enough, it can actually be distinguished.

But unfortunately, Francis didn't know if it was because of being too shocked.

Or some other reason.

For a while, I couldn't even react, let alone adapt with my eyes.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

The ball just now, continue! ! !

Seeing this scene, Lian Si certainly didn't intend to show mercy.

He directly signaled Sawamura to keep going like this.

Sawamura on the mound was also unambiguous.

He opened his posture and threw out the white balls in his hand continuously.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!!"

"strike out!"

"strike out!!"

"strike out!!!"

...

9 balls, three strikeouts.

Even though they were facing North America, the world's most powerful terrorist team ranked first.

Sawamura, still cast his own characteristics.

Facing the number one in the world, Sawamura is neither humble nor overbearing, and has played his own strength steadily.

He solved the opponent cleanly and neatly.

In the process of pitching, he was very bold and shot a lot of dangerous balls.

This fully proves his trust in his ability to control the ball.

"Three outs, switch offense and defense!"

In the second half of the game, it was the island nation's turn to attack.

Because many players fought before, they were disqualified.

Sort the remaining players.

Supervisor Takeda almost scratched his head at that time.

This is obviously not an easy job.
