pps: Thanks to Little Snowman and Little W for their generous rewards! The typhoon hit and it rained for several days. I wish all my friends that they are not disturbed by wind and rain. Even if you are unfortunately disturbed, you can be safe and sound.

On the mound, at the catcher's position, including in the stands.

Sawamura, Renji, and Miyuki Kazuya all breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

At this time, Sawamura used such a high-level change ball rashly, but the risk was actually very high.

There is a high probability that Renji will not be able to catch the ball.

Fortunately, in the mercy of Lady Luck, that didn't happen.

With a 50% probability, Lian Si finally caught the ball.

As long as Lian Si catches the ball, this scene will remain in the hearts of all North American players like a cancerous tumor.

They can no longer treat Sawamura's changing ball as nothing.

According to their experience, then even if the opponent chooses a certain course of the ball.

The change ball will also stimulate them and affect them like a poisonous thorn.

This is the premise of bluffing.

You must have a weapon in your hand that could be a threat to the opponent.

Otherwise, how could it be considered a bluff?

Now, what they hold in their hands is such a weapon.

A weapon that can threaten North American players.

Lian Si, who was on the catcher's position, breathed a sigh of relief.

He is a very calm person, and he doesn't think he can make a breakthrough in such a crisis situation.

Can completely catch Sawamura's changeup.

It's good to have that kind of ambition, but it's foolish to think you've mastered it.

As the brain of the troll Datengjuan high school baseball team, Lian Si certainly couldn't be an idiot.

He knew exactly what he meant by catching that ball, which was a bluff.

Next, if you want to fight against North American players, you must rely on straight balls, ordinary weird balls, and those simple change balls.

Changeup!

Float! !

Ordinary slider!

Up to now, there are only these 5 kinds of shots that Renji has been able to catch with confidence.

Straight balls and eccentric balls have almost been seen through by North American players.

It is obviously not a wise decision to use that kind of ball to confront the opponent.

If you want to continue to fight with them, you must use it flexibly, and the rest of the ball will be fine.

At this time, it was the turn of the North American batters to start their first bat.

Very handsome, very popular Francis.

Regarding this point, Lian Si was a little dissatisfied.

If it was possible, he actually didn't want to meet the little boy Francis so early.

Although this guy looks delicate, his strength is not in vain.

Even among so many players in North America, his strike power can still be ranked in the top three.

Although when confronting Sawamura, he suffered losses one after another. But if you think that he is not good because he suffered a loss, then you are very wrong.

In fact, this little guy is pretty awesome. He was also one of the first hitters to adapt to Sawamura's pitch.

If it weren't for him, the North American players would never have adapted to Sawamura's pitching so quickly.

Lianji could basically see how the North American players communicated in private.

Originally, I thought that these players from North America must be proud and arrogant, and they would not accept each other.

There may be problems with their cooperation.

In fact, looking at the previous games of the North American team, you can basically make a judgment.

It's not a very united team.

Within their team, there are also competition and contradictions.

When Supervisor Takeda analyzed the opponent's strength, although he didn't point it out on purpose.

But those who participated in the meeting were all human beings. Even if Supervisor Takeda didn't deliberately say it, they could see it clearly.

This may also be an opportunity!

At that time, it was estimated that all the players had this idea.

Can really wait until they compete with these players from the North American team.

The situation changed immediately.

The original discord between the North American team seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

In fact, this is also normal, although Lian Si is a little confused.

But Miyuki and Sawamura, seeing clearly, were not surprised at all,

The NA team wasn't always there, a harmonious team. Like the island team, they are also improvised.

There are two deficiencies in the improvised team.

The first is that the cooperation time is short, and the second is that there are relatively large opinions within the team.

Needless to say, time is short, this is an objective reality.

Players from different places, whether it is habits or ideas, must have a lot of differences.

This is the contradiction within the team.

In fact, the island team has encountered exactly the same problem.

The improvised team is not strong.

It is far from being able to exert the effect of 1+1>2.

The reason why it was resolved relatively smoothly was that it was divided into the Tokyo representative team and other regional representative teams.

Then let the two representative teams have a sense of competition with each other.

After having competitors, these arrogant guys are obviously much more peaceful.

From this point, we can also draw a conclusion that has been verified countless times before.

Sometimes, opponents may be more important than friends.

North American players, in terms of talent, are not inferior to those of the island nation team.

There are even a few more outstanding ones, like Francis who is standing on the strike zone now.

The talents of these people even surpassed most of the island nation's players.

In this case, it's conceivable. Inside the North American team, there must be no harmony.

There is also dissatisfaction and competition among them.

As for now, why did everyone suppress that sense of competition?

This is also normal!

Because they met, new enemies and opponents.

And this opponent's threat to them is enough to make them temporarily put aside the competition and differences within the team.

Instead, focus more on the opponent in front of them.

The island nation team is playing such a role now.

Regardless of the situation on the court, the current score, the island team leads the opponent by two points.

As a laggard in North America, their players actually know very well what they should do?

So they are united, even more so than the Islands.

On the contrary, it is the island team, although it has an absolute advantage. But because this advantage was basically won by Sawamura Eijun alone, the other players suffered a serious blow to their self-confidence.

In fact, they also knew before that compared with Sawamura, their strength was far behind.

But knowing it is one thing, witnessing it with your own eyes is another.

Now they have seen with their own eyes that those guys who are played around by Sawamura, when they compete with them, they don't lose the wind in the slightest.

This kind of statement is euphemistic. In fact, those North American star players are in the process of playing against the island nation players.

It has certain advantages.

Otherwise, it would not be present now, in this state.

The North American team is obviously behind, but it feels as if they are ahead.

The whole team showed an aggressive momentum.

It seems that the island nation must be pulled down.

This kind of feeling is very bad, like when running a race, you are clearly ahead of your opponent. But the opponent was chasing very closely, and even had a faint overtaking posture.

Of course, the island nation players are not willing to do so.

But if they don't want to, what can they do?

As far as the situation at hand is concerned, they have no choice at all.

It is precisely because of this kind of negative thinking that the players on the island country team are very depressed.

Sawamura and Renji saw this situation clearly.

But they have no good way.

Some things must be figured out by oneself, and others can only play the role of assistance and guidance.

Not to mention the role of guidance.

What Sawamura can do now is to be a supporter.

Before the island nation's players recover, what he has to do now is to stabilize the score on the field.

In the end, even if there is no overtake or something.

At the very least, they have to make sure that they keep the chance of the island nation to the last.

Even if it is eventually tied, or even overtaken.

They must also ensure that the gap in scores will not widen.

Of course, these are the worst-case scenarios.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is far from that level.

There is still hope for the Islands.

And what Sawamura needs to do next is to continue this hope.

And look for opportunities to expand!

Make this opportunity easier to realize.

To deal with Francis, Sawamura also thought of some strategies.

Currently, the surest way to do this is of course to use the new change ball.

Routine opponents in one go.

Considering the probability of success, it should be around 25%.

Sawamura and Renji both gave up on this tempting plan.

The risk factor is too high! It is still unknown whether he can solve the opponent in one go.

As far as the situation is concerned, they themselves were tricked into it first.

And this is precisely what the players of the island nation cannot accept.

They can only think of other ways.

Lian Si kept staring at the opponent in front of him.

Francis exudes a strong momentum, looking eager to try, ready to take action at any time.

Those who are familiar with him must know that this guy has absolutely no intention of bluffing.

For him, everything is ready now, only the east wind is owed.

I think as long as Sawamura Eijun can shoot some better shots.

He will definitely swing the bat in his hand unceremoniously.

When that time comes, where does the baseball land when it's hit?

neither knows.

No one dared to pat their chests and promise.

If that time really comes, it means that the island team has lost the dominance that they have finally ushered in.

The trend of the game, they will have to obey the other party's arrangement.

Whether it's Sawamura or Renji.

Obviously, there is no way to accept such an arrangement, so they go all out to prevent this from happening.

And to do this, they must first be familiar with their opponents.

That is, this little boy named Francis.

This guy's characteristics, this guy's current state, and this guy's current thinking...

All of these, they must understand.

Although Sawamura can guess to some extent, this is not his specialty.

He couldn't understand it in such detail.

So he could only entrust this important task to his current partner, Lian Si.

As the on-field brain of the Troll High School baseball team, Renji's ability in this area may not be as good as Miyuki.

But his ability is definitely not bad, and he is top-notch in the whole country.

Not to mention the whole country, even looking at the whole world, he should be able to rank well.

Sawamura was at a loss, but at this moment, he already had vague guesses and ideas.

Then he told Sawamura of his plan by using a secret code.

These tactical catchers really don't have any good things, and their hearts are so dirty that they are dying.

After understanding Renji's plan, Sawamura's face was very ugly.

But in his eyes, there was a bit of relief.

I have to say that this strategy may not be considered aboveboard.

But to deal with the immediate crisis, it should be effective.

With a plan in mind, Sawamura Eijun nodded imperceptibly, and then saw him pull away, and decisively threw the white ball in his hand.

If you want to cooperate with Renji, ordinary balls are not effective.

It must be stronger and sharper.

Now, Sawamura voted.

It is a straight ball with the limit of the inner corner.

With the cooperation of his weird posture, the speed of the baseball is very fast, and it reaches the position of the hitter's chest in the blink of an eye.

This is a difficult position to get out of.

Even if Francis is standing on the strike zone now, he actually has no good solution.

The country is top-notch.
