The second hitter on the North American team, after Sawamura pitched, put his bat back and hit it again.

He used cheating!

As for the purpose of his use of cheating?

Of course it was for cover, and now Francis, who is running wildly to second base.

It seems that these players on the US team are crazy. They want to move forward regardless of the consequences.

In the past, players from island countries looked at North American players, although they thought their personal strength was very strong. But in my heart, no one in the island country thinks they will lose.

Although the personal strength of the North American players is very strong! But their overall cooperation is very immature.

It's not that the players of the island country team are boasting. From their own feelings, it is not very difficult to solve such an opponent.

The song is good.

One chopstick was slightly broken, and ten chopsticks were tightly hugged into a ball.

The players of the North American team seem to have the meaning of the first half of the sentence. Even if the island nation's players are at a disadvantage in terms of personal strength, as long as they can unite as one, they will definitely be able to find each other's flaws and break through.

Almost all the island nation players think so in their hearts. Even in the official competition, they were a bit ruthless by the opponent's routine, so that the situation was in a weak position.

But the vast majority of the island nation players firmly believe in it.

They must be the ones who can win in the end.

Compared with the North American team fighting separately, they are a whole. Even if the individual strength is not as good as the opponent, as a whole, their strength is definitely above the opponent.

The players of the island country team never imagined that when the players of the North American team were being chased, the state of their entire team would also undergo earth-shaking changes.

They no longer fought independently, but quickly united into a whole.

Use the strength of this whole to compete with the island nation team.

Even those arrogant sons of heaven have put down their bodies and started to learn to cooperate.

This time, the players of the island country team were really caught off guard.

Father, like son.

As the authorities of the island country, many friends have not been able to react to what is going on?

In the stands, those guys couldn't bear it anymore.

"Stupid, don't you know how to look at people?"

Cheng Gongming reprimanded angrily.

To be honest, seeing these guys making mistakes one after another on the court, Cheng Gongming really couldn't bear it.

But there is no way, he has already lost the qualification to play, no matter how much dissatisfaction he has in his heart, he can only hold back now.

In fact, this may not be a bad thing for the players in the stands.

As the indispensable main force of the team, there is one thing they must learn. That is, you must keep a cool head at all times and you must not be sent off.

Otherwise, if you can't even control your emotions, what great things can you accomplish?

This is a rare training opportunity for all the players who were sent to the stands.

Whether it is useful or useless, if they can truly master this ability, it will be very helpful to their future.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

What kind of suffering and experience did those players who were punished to stand in the stands go through?

Let's not mention it for now.

As for their growth, that is another story.

Let's just talk about the game.

With the baseball knocked out, the situation changed dramatically.

Although the players of the island country team tried their best to stop the ball.

However, they were obviously insufficiently prepared before, and they completely miscalculated the actions of the players of the North American team.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

In addition, many players are not familiar with their defensive positions, and they are very hasty in responding to the sudden appearance of the ball.

As a result, the players from the North American team took advantage of the loophole, and the ball really went out.

At this time, Francis, who moved one step ahead, had already jumped over the second base.

This guy was already very good at speed, and he didn't stop when he crossed the second base, but ran to the third base quickly.

Not only have they learned to cooperate, but they have also brought their own characteristics into full play.

North American players are particularly good at seizing opportunities.

Once the opportunity arises, these guys are as quick to stare at it as flies.

This is the current situation. The players of the North American team did not let go of any negligence of the island country team.

Once such negligence appeared, they immediately caught up.

In the stands, as the main force of the expedition to North America, few people understand the style of the North American team better than Kuramochi.

In his original impression, the players of the North American team like to go straight. They are good at giving full play to their physical advantages and using their upright strength to subdue their opponents.

As for the application of skills and tactics.

Although the players of the North American team are all trying.

They also hope that their tactics can be richer and more powerful.

But obviously this is not something that happens overnight, no one can do it easily.

Especially since this is not the style of the North American team, it is even more impossible for them to master it easily.

As for the players of the island country team, although they are not in the same team.

But this style of baseball has been integrated into almost everyone's blood.

When they usually train, this is also one of their most important training items.

So even in the team that was put together impromptu, the players of the island country team can carry out this style.

The players of the North American team also cooperated, but their cooperation was relatively rough, and few of them really made people feel bright.

But now, the situation has changed a lot.

The players of the North American team not only learned to cooperate, but also in terms of tactical application, they are not at the same level as before.

This sudden change made Kuramo doubtful. Is the team that is playing against the Japanese team on the court really the North American team?

Why can't he believe it?

Regarding this point, Fujio, a senior reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine, actually answered relatively well.

He saw this very clearly, and gave a very fair answer.

The players of the North American team, or the style of the North American team, why has such a big change occurred?

In fact, it was forced.

If conditions permit, the players of the North American team certainly hope to carry out their previous style of competition.

That style is familiar to them, and it is also the favorite of all their players.

But now, their style is clearly not working.

In this case, whether the players of the North American team are willing or not, they must change.

Fight in another way to seek a breakthrough.

In a short period of time, let the players of the North American team think of a style that can compete head-on with the current mature style of the Island nation.

This is obviously unrealistic.

Even if the players of the North American team are all geniuses, their coaches are not simple people.

It is impossible to do this.

After all, the style is not so easy to change, especially the style of a national team.

In this case, the most time-saving and labor-saving way, of course, is to learn the strengths of the enemy and make up for your own shortcomings.

Combined with its own characteristics, a brand-new fighting style is formed.

The players of the North American team have already made up their minds. They put down their airs, learned to be assistants, and learned to cooperate with their teammates to attack.

Compared with learning a new style, it is obviously much easier and simpler to just put down your face.

As for the North American players, what they are doing now is just such a thing.

They let go of their persistence and arrogance, and played hard just to win the game.

So the scene in front of me appeared, and the North American team succeeded in successive raids.

Originally, it was not a very good opportunity, but abruptly let the North American players develop into a good opportunity enough to score points.

The baseball went through the 1st line and was stopped by an outfielder at the 2nd line.

After the outfielder receives the ball, he is ready to pass directly to third base.

Crossing two bases at once, Francis' performance was crazy.

The players of the island nation instinctively thought that this little boy should be taught a lesson.

Be sure to let this little boy know that baseball is not such a simple sport.

It's not that he is handsome, so he can definitely do whatever he wants.

Just as the outfielder was about to pass the ball, Sawamura, who was on the mound, suddenly spoke.

"Second base!"

At this time, he didn't let the foreign player pass the ball directly to third base, but to second base.

Meanwhile, Sawamura himself retreated to second base to cover.

Why go to second base?

It's actually very simple, because the speed of the guy in charge of striking is also very important.

In a very short time, he has already crossed first base and rushed to second base.

Logically speaking, Francis, who is about to advance to third base, is undoubtedly a more threatening existence.

After all, he's about to hit home plate.

And judging from the current situation, if the ball is passed to the second base at this time, then Francis will definitely hit the home plate.

Sawamura is tantamount to giving up this point!

On the court, everything changes in an instant.

It is difficult for someone who does not really understand baseball to discover the mystery.

Even if some things can be found, I'm afraid it's just superficial.

There will never be more than 100 people who can really analyze thoroughly.

In it, there is Fujio.

Owada Akiko's nervous heart almost jumped out.

From her point of view, passing the ball to second base at this time is simply killing her.

Totally unreasonable!

"Sawamura?"

She just yelled two words, her eyes had completely betrayed what she wanted to express.

What she wants to ask is, why did Sawamura do this?

In Owada Akiko's original impression, Sawamura has always been very calm.

It can be said to be the representative of youth and maturity!

It was hard for her to imagine that Sawamura would make such a mistake.

Could it be that Sawamura thought that it was impossible for them to stop Francis at this time.

Even if Francis is left at third base, there is no way to prevent Francis from scoring.

So I simply gave up this point and focused on the number of outs that can be won cleanly.

In Owada's view, this may be the only reasonable explanation.

If not, she would never have imagined what Sawamura's purpose was.

The Islands outfielder, though, wanted to pass the ball straight to third base.

But he also knew that passing the ball didn't mean much.

At Francis' speed, hitting the pack is 100 percent.

This is still in the case of a successful pass and catch. You must know that the distance between the two is at least forty or fifty meters.

At this distance, pass errors are also possible.

Once the pass is missed, the point loss is 100%.

Since it is also extremely dangerous, it is better to win the game steadily and steadily.

Although this is not the way to win, it is the best defensive strategy.

The island nation team is now ahead of their opponents.

It is not impossible to use the best defensive strategy.

The outfielder, in the end, had no intention of disobeying Sawamura, and obediently passed the ball to second base.

The North American runner desperately rushing to second base was supposed to be the bait.

So instead of returning to first base, he went straight to second base.

By this time, the plans of the North American team had become clear.

Now their most important task is not to recover a few points in one go.

Instead, score first.

At this point in the game, the players of the North American team have not yet scored a point. Obviously, they are also in a hurry.

To defeat the Islands, the prerequisite is to be able to score points from Sawamura.

Originally, everyone thought that everything should be over when they got here.

At the cost of one point, the island nation got the second out.

Meanwhile, the threat of third base is gone.

By that time, although the score had become 2:1, the runners on the bases had all been settled.

The island nation solved all their hidden dangers with one point.

As the saying goes, take a step back and broaden the sea and the sky, and this is probably what it means.

Almost all sensible people think so.

Even people who know Sawamura think that it is possible for Sawamura to make such a choice.

Sawamura is very concerned about the overall situation. If the situation requires it, it is not difficult for Sawamura to temporarily try his best.

But when everyone thought so, Sawamura opened his glove and asked for the ball.

Facing a runner who is about to reach second base, the number of outs is at your fingertips.

Sawamura ignored it at all.

After receiving the ball, he used his soft body to pass the ball powerfully.

A fast pass of more than 150 kilometers, even if separated by a distance of more than 30 meters, is the blink of an eye.

The baseball appeared in the catcher's mitt.

"Snapped!"

Lian Si had been prepared for a long time, and took the ball steadily.

Francis, who had already left third base, was still five or six meters away from home plate. Now he has completed all the acceleration, the speed is equivalent to 10 seconds for 100 meters.

That is, in one second, he can run about 10 meters.

This distance is the time duel of 0.5 seconds.

For Lian Si, this challenge is not small at all.

But he is confident.

Now that Sawamura has set the trap, the other party has already taken the bait honestly.

He can't drop the chain halfway!
