The white ball is under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes.

Fly into the stands!

Sawamura, who was on the strike zone, seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, and he let go of the bat in his hand.

With one hand clenched into a fist, he hammered heavily into the sky. At the same time, he also started running the bases.

During this process, he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of delaying time.

He is very clear that the players in the island country are under a lot of pressure now.

Their state has declined sharply, and their physical strength is not small.

From a common sense analysis, Sawamura Eijun can take advantage of this opportunity to let his teammates have a good rest.

But after the home run, Sawamura had no such plans at all.

He knew very well in his heart that the island nation players were indeed under a lot of psychological pressure now.

But in the same way, North American players are not much better.

In their hearts, they are also under tremendous pressure. And since Sawamura scored another home run, the score on the field has become 2:0.

At this time, the North American players need more time to make timely adjustments than their own.

If Sawamura delays time at this time, then the coaches and players of the North American team will also take advantage of this time to think about countermeasures.

Sawamura didn't want such a thing to happen when he had the upper hand.

The stadium is like a battlefield!

To be soft-hearted to the enemy on the court is to be cruel to oneself.

This point, Sawamura thought very clearly.

So he has no hesitation, no matter what the cost, but at this time, he will deal the opponent the heaviest blow.

Not to mention that he quickly returned to home plate, helped the team, and scored another point.

Just talk about the fans in the stands.

Especially those hard-core supporters who came from the island country to watch the game, their eyes were red.

Sawamura's wonderful performance on the court once proved it to everyone in the world.

Who is the real pride of heaven?

Who is the real big devil!

Sawamura Eijun.

Judging from his performance in today's game, this young man's strength has far exceeded the level of high school.

Even with the basic information in front of him, he is enough to be a very powerful professional hitter.

For Sawamura's supporters, they are as sweet as eating honey.

All this in front of them made them feel too dreamy.

Not so long ago, Sawamura's reputation was only within the island nation.

Because it is located in the country, and he plays soft ball.

So Sawamura has always been excluded from the gate of the national team.

Now, he has come to serve as the captain, leading the brand-new team, all the way through all the obstacles to come here.

Even in the process, they encountered force majeure.

The spirit of the entire team still exists.

To be honest, this is too rare.

Not to mention outsiders, in fact, even the island's own fans encountered the situation at that time.

I also think that my side is cool.

This is not because they belittled themselves, but judging from the situation at the time, that was almost the only way out for the island nation.

Others may not understand what those players who quit mean to the entire island nation team?

But they are all too clear!

Because those who quit are basically players from Tokyo. In other words, they are the people who are most familiar with Sawamura and who know Sawamura best.

And such a person, the cooperation with Sawamura is also the best.

Among them is even Sawamura's golden partner Miyuki Kazuya. After the two of them form a partner, the effect is definitely 1+1>2.

If it's the two of them who sit on the mound and catcher now.

Now, although the two points scored by the island nation team are not enough to make them sure of winning, they can also make them invincible.

But it is a pity that the current catcher position,

someone else.

This point is very, very interesting.

Although the island country team has scored two points, the fans of the island country, especially the supporters of Sawamura.

Still can't feel at ease.

This is not to say that they don't believe in Sawamura's strength.

This will never happen. As the die-hard supporters of Sawamura, in their minds, Sawamura's strength is no longer an ordinary person.

That is a living god!

An existence that cannot be surpassed.

Of course, baseball is not a sport that can be played by one person.

No matter how strong Sawamura is, it is absolutely impossible for him to win the game by himself.

This point, the supporters of the island country team, are also well aware of it.

It is precisely because they are clear in their hearts that they are worried.

Although Renji is also one of the best catchers in the country, even if he is not as good as Miyuki, he is not far behind.

But the problem is that there is too little cooperation between the two.

How little did they cooperate?

In the past, I actually didn't cooperate a few times, let alone now.

So far, Sawamura Eijun has been too advanced to make a change shot, and he can't make it at all.

This point, the players in North America feel it.

Not to mention, those die-hard supporters of Sawamura.

Each of them is very clear in their hearts.

Although the big devil king on the field is still the big devil king they support, the strength that Sawamura himself can display has not reached the level of the big devil king.

In other words, the man standing on the mound now is not a full-fledged demon king.

But even so.

Sawamura, who has this kind of strength, is actually still very scary.

No one knows, when will Sawamura explode?

In this case, all his actions need to be restricted.

Even now the island nation has a two-point lead over their opponents.

Everyone's worries have not been alleviated in any way.

It even got worse.

As the score draws, they always feel that the North American players will make big things happen.

Of course they didn't expect this to happen.

Whether as a fan of the island country or as a player.

They all have their own positions.

Emotionally, they also support the island nation.

But how things will play out, will not go as they expected.

The world is unsatisfactory, nine out of ten.

That's probably what he meant.

Sawamura quickly returned to home plate to help the team score.

The total score is 2:0.

Seeing this scene, Akiko Owada, a reporter from Baseball Kingdom Magazine, was in the stands.

I feel a little sorry.

"Actually, it can be slowed down, so that other players can take the opportunity to take a good rest."

North American and Island teams.

The battle between the two teams has reached a fever pitch.

Although the players of the island nation train hard.

But compared to North American players, their bodies are nothing to mention.

This is not nonsense. The physical fitness of North American players is generally much stronger than that of Asian players.

The physical fitness of Africans is generally stronger than that of whites and yellows.

This is the difference of race!

This is not nonsense, but an objective reality.

This point is also concretely reflected between the North American team and the island nation team.

In this game, the players of the North American team were obviously under more pressure.

But if you just look at the amount of sweat and physical loss in the body, as well as the degree of fatigue on the face.

The island team looks even more embarrassed.

That's why Akiko Owada thought that Sawamura should take this opportunity to let his teammates rest.

Fujio has a different view, or his view is the same as Sawamura.

"The stadium is like a battlefield, and opportunities are fleeting!"

After the previous big change, the elite players of the island nation team suddenly lost a lot of people.

The remaining current island nation team is actually not outstanding in terms of overall strength. Especially compared to those players in North America, they probably won't be able to take advantage of anything. Not only can't take advantage of any advantages, but according to Fujio's own feeling, the island team may still suffer. In this case, if it is said that it is head-to-head according to strength, or both sides give time to make adjustments.

In fact, it is even more unfavorable for the players of the island country team.

Although they are in the lead, the current situation is that if the two sides continue to compete fairly.

North America, whose comprehensive strength has the upper hand, is likely to come back. On the contrary, it is the island nation team, whose potential has been squeezed out.

If nothing unexpected, there will definitely be problems later in the game.

It was in this situation that Sawamura thought it would be better to go all out and do it with the other party!

Especially with Sawamura hitting two home runs.

With these two home runs, the players of the island nation will have the courage to continue to confront North America.

This courage is very important!

Because of the previous game, the damage suffered by the domestic side of the island was too great.

Not only the players who were dismissed, but even the remaining players had great trauma in their hearts.

They intuitively believe that they are no longer qualified to compete for the world championship.

So many players, even standing on the court, do not have high fighting spirit.

They think that they have lost, they must lose!

But is that really the case?

Of course it can't be so!

The current situation on the field has already explained everything. The island nation leads the opponent by two points.

Despite this lead, it was almost Eijun Sawamura who created the art.

But don't forget that Sawamura himself is also a member of the island's domestic players.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a leader that the spirit of the island nation has not completely collapsed.

And judging from Sawamura's performance, he is indeed a very qualified leader.

Who would have thought that he hit the field twice, came in and hit a home run twice.

Li Weide is definitely not a soft persimmon.

Anyone with a little brain can see this point with their eyes.

In fact, this guy named Li Weide is still very strong, otherwise the island country would not be able to shut down all the other hitters except Sawamura.

But how powerful is it? Fujio didn't have a fixed judgment, but from his own feeling, the player named Li Weide in front of him was definitely a top-notch pitcher in their age group.

Compared with the other pitchers of the Japan team except Sawamura Eijun, his strength is definitely not less or even faintly surpassed.

This is not to increase the ambition of others and destroy one's own prestige, but to analyze the strength gap between the two sides in a realistic manner.

According to Fujio's view, the strength gap between the two sides is just that big!

It is even possible that it is much bigger than everyone imagined.

In this case, when the two teams played a game, Sawamura Eijun was able to rely on his own strength and scored two home runs. Instead of being overwhelmed by the opponent during the game, he was suppressed in terms of scoring. opponent.

As long as they can keep up the good work and keep performing.

Then Fujio is still very optimistic about the island team.

If it doesn't work well, it may not necessarily be able to create a miracle.

Fujio had such thoughts in mind.

But the process of the next game was much more difficult than he imagined. Renji, who played right behind Sawamura, didn't show much and was killed.

Almost everyone believed that the man who was hit with home runs in a row, under the strong pressure of Sawamura this time, he would definitely show a little bit of flaws, but the real situation is that he has no flaws at all. exposed.

It seems that the home run that this kind of person hit was not the ball he threw at all.

At this time, Fujio and other supporters of the island country team also had to sigh in their hearts, the opponent really has a super big heart.

They have no way of knowing how big this heart is.

But there is one thing they are very clear in their hearts, that is, today's game may be more difficult than they imagined.

Three outs, switch

It was Sawamura's turn to pitch.

For Sawamura Eijun's 100% home run, the players of the North American team are still quite vigilant.

They can't help but be vigilant.

Now the North American team is two points behind their opponents, and these two points are without exception. All of them were won by Sawamura relying on home runs.

He suppressed the North American team and all the players almost by himself.

Facing such an opponent, if the players of the North American team don't play up the spirit of 120,000 points.

Isn't their reaction too slow?

Not only when Sawamura hits, but even Sawamura is pitching these days.

The players of the North American team are extremely wary.

Afraid of any accidents, Sawamura Eijun went mad naturally.

That's not appropriate!

This may seem a bit unbelievable, but it is actually quite normal.

Because the sense of presence exuded by Sawamura is too strong!

Therefore, no player in North America can ignore his existence. Now, no matter what Sawamura does, he has attracted the attention of all players in North America.

Their eyes, like hungry wolves, examined Sawamura.

That feeling was like swallowing Sawamura alive.

"It's like this again!"

Perhaps others would be unfamiliar with such a scene, but Sawamura was not.

In fact, as his fame grew, the probability of Sawamura encountering such a thing was too high. Basically, all his opponents would give him such courtesy.
