No one out, man on second base.
It was beyond the imagination of the island fans. Originally, they thought that there was the big devil Sawamura Eijun sitting in charge.
For those North American players, no matter how strong they are, it won't help.
Remember how terrifying the strength of the North American Dream Team was?
The average age is one or two years older than Ze Village and the others.
But so what?
When they met the big devil Sawamura Eijun, they were still beaten badly.
Now, the opponent has changed these, and the strength is not as good as the guys from the North American Dream Team.
Sawamura wanted to get rid of them, but that was not easy.
This is the thinking of the fans of the island country, and there are not a few people who have this kind of thinking.
But as the game progressed, they were surprised to find out.
Things seem to be quite different from what they imagined.
The most important difference comes from the opponent.
Originally, in their view, the strength of the North American players should not be very strong, but in fact, their strength is frighteningly strong.
They haven't really seen the players of the North American Dream Team, and they don't know the strength of those players. What is it like?
But as far as these North American players are concerned, their strength has already reached an unmatched level.
horrible!
Even Sawamura, in the 2nd round, got caught in the rhythm of his pitching.
In addition to this point, there is another very important point, which is beyond their original imagination.
That is Sawamura.
Sawamura Eijun! !
No one thought that his changing ball was so tricky?
Except for the Seidou High School baseball team, Miyuki who is known as the number one catcher in the country.
The others simply couldn't cooperate with him.
Just like his current partner Lian Si, he is also one of the most powerful existences in the whole country.
But even with such a powerful catcher, Sawamura didn't dare to try changing the ball easily when he was partnering with him.
At least until now, all of Sawamura's pitches are mainly straight balls, and the occasional change balls interspersed are also low-level ones.
At this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
Sawamura's strength has been banned!
Miyuki's absence not only affected himself, but also affected Sawamura.
In this case, no matter how confident people are in Sawamura.
I can't help but whisper in my heart.
Can such a big devil really stop North America's crazy attack?
This is a question worthy of study.
No one out, man on second base.
The game continues!
Sawamura on the mound pinned Francis on second base with his eyes.
Keep him from getting too far from the bases.
People say that Sawamura is comprehensive, and his strengths are not limited to pitching.
To be precise, his skills on the mound, all of them.
They are all very comprehensive, far exceeding the level of high school students.
This is also something that can’t be helped, experience is there.
Sawamura is also a person who loves to learn. He has been working hard to break through himself and make himself better.
This is also an important reason for his comprehensive skills.
What Sawamura is showing now is the same.
Even if there is someone on second base, any hit may be converted into a score.
Sawamura's attitude is still not in a hurry.
He slowly looked at the opponent in the strike zone, and at the same time, he used the peripheral vision of his eyes to pay attention to the situation behind him.
The other party was very honest and performed very well!
Sawamura was a little disappointed, these guys in North America are too cowardly, it doesn't fit their personality at all.
Why can't they be more cruel and steal the base directly!
If that's the case, I can deal with it more easily.
They are so honest, Sawamura finds it difficult.
In this way, wouldn't they only have a way out.
To be honest, with the addition of my own future island nation team,
Strength is terrifying.
If they had a neat lineup, they would have a better chance of winning if they took care of the North American team in front of them.
Of course, if the opponent changes to the North American Dream Team.
Then the approximate winning percentage of both sides should be around 55%.
Just looking at the team of these children in front of him, Sawamura thinks that defeating them is easy.
But the problem is, most of their elite main players have already sat in the stands.
With only the remaining players, they want to solve their opponents.
Obviously not an easy task!
In addition, Sawamura's own pitching has also been greatly restricted.
If he wants to win the number of outs, he must rely on the help of his teammates.
Without those tricky changing balls, one or two hits, that's all.
After a long time, Sawamura couldn't hold on at all.
In this way, his own strength is also compromised.
Purely from the strength on paper.
The island team is at an absolute disadvantage here.
That's why Sawamura Eijun expected the opponent to actively attack.
Only when the opponent is actively attacking can he find an opportunity to completely solve the opponent.
If the opponent proceeds step by step, he will use the method of snowballing to expand his advantage.
Even now, the island nation leads by one goal.
None of them can guarantee victory!
There must be a way.
Sawamura Eijun clearly realized how unfavorable it would be to them if the game continued like this.
So he decided to act.
But now he has too few cards in his hand, even if he wants to take action, it is not an easy task.
In order to avoid this from happening, he must act first.
I saw Sawamura on the mound slowly pulling away.
Seeing Sawamura's actions, Francis also opened his posture and prepared to steal bases.
He is not a quiet person.
As the No. 1 hitter in North America, he is also a very good runner.
The speed of 100 meters is 11 seconds 12!
Absolute flying man!
Once you let him between the bases, he will increase his speed.
Then the island team is bound to usher in extremely huge troubles.
Sawamura noticed this from the corner of his eye, but he didn't mind.
Although the opponent put on a posture, his feet were not far from the base bag.
It doesn't have the meaning of containment.
In this case, he can only go all out to deal with the hitter.
The runner can only be handed over to the catcher!
Of course, if Francis stole the base recklessly at this time, then Sawamura is also sure that the other party will see Hua'er. Why is it so popular?
You must know that he has the privilege of shooting late.
As long as he holds this privilege, no one can escape from his Five Fingers Mountain.
Obviously, before the game, the players of the North American team made very detailed information.
They are well aware of Sawamura's post-shot privilege!
At this time, he would definitely not easily give Sawamura such an opportunity.
Steady and steady is the style that North America is now pursuing.
Just as Sawamura thought, these players in North America are not fools, they have long understood the current situation.
Although many North American players are not reconciled, but in the current situation.
Steady and steady, head-to-head, crushing with strength.
For North America, it is undoubtedly the most beneficial.
Just like now, the second-best hitter in North America has also chosen to face off.
"Ping!"
The bat hit the white ball firmly, and then bounced high.
Sawamura's weird ball is not so easy to deal with.
The third baseman caught the ball in his glove effortlessly.
The crazy attacks of these North American players were curbed.
One out, man on second base.
Sawamura's performance won wild applause from the fans.
Especially in the crisis situation of the island nation team, Sawamura's performance gave many people unimaginable confidence invisibly.
He is like a beacon, illuminating the road ahead.
For those hiding behind him, they only need to follow the guidance of the light.
Definitely going out eventually!
No matter what kind of ups and downs and difficulties lie ahead, we will definitely be able to overcome them.
Next up is the third batter in North America.
Jacklin.
This is a handsome guy. According to European and American standards, he may be a little bit effeminate.
Appears less masculine.
But judging from the aesthetics of East Asia, he is simply synonymous with the creamy niche.
The facial features are unbelievably exquisite, and the long golden hair is behind her shoulders.
handsome!
Handsome and personable.
Facing a handsome guy, even Sawamura, who is also a man, lost his mind for two seconds.
When he asked what was needed?
Sawamura felt as if the whole world had changed.
A group of idiots around them, their eyes widened, their mouths widened, and the hala almost flowed out.
This is the charm of a handsome guy.
And he is not only handsome, but also first-class in strength.
During the duel with Sawamura Eijun, he bit the ball tightly.
Although there has never been a beautiful hit.
But this kind of close entanglement also annoyed Sawamura.
I don't know what kind of wishful thinking the opponent is planning, but at this time, he has consumed his own pitches.
He decided to win or lose with one goal!
Although with Lian Si's temporary partner, there are many powerful change shots, there is no way to use them.
But that doesn't mean that Sawamura can't make a single shot.
Although it is a high-level changing ball, some mistakes may indeed occur when receiving the ball continuously.
But like this kind of low-level changing ball, Liansi can still catch the ball steadily.
It's just that Sawamura didn't want to expose this prematurely, and he didn't expect North America's actions to be so fast!
The current North American players have pushed them to the point of breaking the boat.
Then Sawamura no longer cared about preserving his strength.
He must go all out!
Right at this point, right in the pitch that has been centered on the straight ball.
Sawamura suddenly used a change ball.
The appearance of this changing ball was too sudden. According to normal logic analysis, it should be able to trick the opponent into swinging a bat.
But the actual result was more miserable than Sawamura imagined.
Faced with the sudden changeup, the opponent was very calm and did not swing the bat in a hurry, but waited patiently for the baseball to come into his hand.
In fact, when seeing this scene, Sawamura was a little silly.
It's not that he doesn't know that among these players in North America, there are many highly capable guys.
But he always thought those guys were still young, compared with their performance in the big leagues, they should be very immature now.
But obviously, he was wrong.
Not only are those guys not immature at all, some of them have even faintly touched the threshold of their own system.
Just like Jacklin in front of me.
Sawamura thought his previous blow was calculated.
But now it seems that Sawamura is a bit of a frog in a well.
This one named Jacklin has an extremely huge heart.
Facing the sudden appearance of the ball, he pushed the ball steadily.
Even against a changeup, he didn't swing a big stick!
This is not to say that Jack Lin is merciful and shows mercy to Sawamura.
Mainly because of Sawamura's changeup, after approaching the strike zone, there will be an irregular drop.
If the opponent swings a big stick at this time.
Then the final result is very likely that stealing chickens will not make money.
This situation, of course, is absolutely unwilling to see them.
So they adopted another method of tactics, even if the effect cannot be achieved at once, they must adopt a pressing method step by step.
"Ping!"
A small white ball that lands in the infield after being touched.
It's like an adult frightening a child, the slap raised high and finally dropped gently,
But the problem is that the players of the national team are not children, they have never had such an intuitive feeling in the game.
This feeling is terrible!
Although the players of the island country team tried their best to fill their positions, because most of the players were not very familiar with their positions, this time they finally made a mistake.
So that the runner ran to first base.
Francis, who was originally on the second base and was ready to advance at any time, did not miss this opportunity, and he ran directly to the third base.
If the ball didn't fall on the ground, it didn't fall in the infield.
So what will the end result look like? No one expected it.
that's it.
One out, one man on third base.
The island nation team encountered an unprecedented crisis.
Faced with this crisis, pitcher Sawamura was very calm.
At this time, he took the initiative to signal and asked for a timeout.
For Sawamura's trust, whether it is Renji or Takeda.
It has all reached the point of no return.
Seeing the secret signal given by Sawamura, they immediately nodded in agreement.
Then several players in the infield gathered on the mound, and they didn't know what tactics they discussed.
Of course, like the current situation.
The island nation players gathered together to discuss tactics.
It's a very normal thing.
After all, the next duel is a matter of life and death.
Francis, who was at third base, squinted his eyes slightly, watching Sawamura's actions on the mound.
After the island country team finished the meeting, all the players returned to their positions.
Sawamura wrapped his left hand with a glove and raised his arm high, ready to throw the ball.
The players from North America put on a posture of being ready for battle.
Obviously, they have also figured out an offensive strategy.
However, at this moment, Francis felt that someone touched him from behind.
who?
He turned his head in surprise and saw the third baseman of the Islands.
The guy was grinning meanly, and then I saw him open the glove.
In his glove, lay a white baseball.
...
