On the home plate, a thrilling duel is unfolding.

Before Sawamura took the initiative to go to second base, almost everyone thought that he gave up the point.

In the eyes of many people, Sawamura is a very mature and calm player. When the situation is extremely unfavorable, he is very likely to make that choice.

No one thought that Sawamura's going to second base was just a cover, and he had no interest in the runners who ran to second base.

Even if he could kill the opponent easily, Sawamura didn't do that.

This is a trap he has carefully laid out, just to arrest the prey in front of him.

Francis has advanced to home plate.

In fact, before Sawamura made a pass, people didn't think that the island team still had hope of stopping North America.

Too much distance, plus passing bias, and the timing of the catcher's preparation.

Roughly speaking, it takes at least two seconds for the island team.

This is already very fast!

But at that time, Francis was only ten meters away from home plate.

He was already fully running, and his speed was infinitely close to 100 meters in 10 seconds. A distance of more than ten meters is more than one second to him.

Judging from the time, it is absolutely impossible for the island team to stop Francis.

And Sawamura's pass subverted everyone's perception.

Passing at a speed of more than 150 kilometers per hour, the entire passing process is a few tenths of a second.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there is no deviation. The baseball fell directly into Lianji's glove, so Lianji didn't need to do anything, just turn around and kill the opponent.

The time suddenly increased by one second.

In a race where every second counts, this second advance has brought about subversive results.

Originally, the island nation had no hope of stopping Francis. But now, they not only have hope, but even great hope.

"What is that?"

"With a precise pass like a scalpel, Eijun Sawamura rewrote the situation on the court with an extremely simple pass..."

Narrator, let your imagination run wild.

While speaking, he stared intently at the duel on the field.

This is really wonderful!

Today's game, and this duel in front of us.

In the past, even this experienced commentator could only be encountered occasionally when commenting on major league games.

Now, he witnessed the birth of this scene with his own eyes.

That kind of surging and excitement is unimaginable for ordinary people.

At this time, he felt endless power surging in his body.

He can't wait to see more exciting scenes.

To be honest, he hasn't been this enthusiastic for a long time!

Even the narrator, who was one of the bystanders, was stimulated with excitement.

Not to mention, the players of the two teams are facing each other on the court.

At this time, the minds of all the players of the two teams were immersed in the two players in the duel.

They couldn't wait to see the outcome between the two.

Lian Si and Francis, these two people will meet soon.

The result of the duel between the two will directly determine the future direction of the game.

"It must be stopped!"

Lian Si, who has always been calm, is rarely so excited as he is now.

It has to be said that although the period of partnering with the big devil Sawamura was very short.

But it makes people very happy, very nostalgic.

Even if they are still partners now, Lian Si has such a feeling.

Although I feel a little sorry, Hongo in the rest area. But Renji also didn't want to disappoint Sawamura's trust and expectations.

How much risk did he take to win this fair confrontation opportunity for himself. Even to a certain extent, he has given himself a considerable advantage.

If this is the case, he still has no way to solve the opponent.

Then, even if the friends of the island nation don't blame him, what face does he have to return to Hokkaido?

Be sure to stop it!

Not only for personal honor, but also not wanting to disappoint Sawamura's expectations.

At this time, Lian Si already planned to fight to the death. Whatever Francis does? He must be stopped.

Be sure to stop it!

Firm belief endows Liansi with even stronger strength. His senses are particularly keen, and he is unwilling to let go of the slightest detail.

When Francis rushed over, he was facing such Liansi.

A star catcher who is ready to fight, a star catcher who has made all the resolutions.

burn one's boats!

Once a person has such awareness, then when they are fighting, their whole body will shine.

This is true for ordinary people, let alone star players.

Lian Si is like this now, his whole body is radiant and shining.

When Francis rushed over, he felt such pressure.

The pressure from the opponent is very strong!

Even stronger than Francis originally imagined.

"What a fun team!"

Originally, Francis, like the vast majority of players in North America, believed that the reason why the island country team was able to take advantage was entirely because of Sawamura.

In fact, during their confrontation, the strength of the other players of the island nation team was very small.

As a result, many players in North America do not feel threatened by other players of the island nation team at all.

To be honest, this is also normal.

The real threat to the island nation team is the guys from the Tokyo team. This is not to say that their personal strength is good enough to pose a threat to North American players.

But in terms of personal strength, these star players in North America are actually even better.

Except for Sawamura and a limited number of players, most players do not have an advantage when compared with North American players.

It's not just that they don't have an advantage, they are also in a certain disadvantage to a certain extent.

The most important reason why the guys from the Tokyo team can compete with the North American team is cooperation.

Because they understand each other, the strength of cooperation is greatly increased.

In contrast, the players left on the Islands today. Except for Sawamura and Renji, there are very few players whose personal strength can be compared with North American players.

In terms of cooperation, they are even more incomparable with the Tokyo players.

In addition, their state is not very good, and their original 100% strength can now be used to 70% to 80%.

To be honest, it's not their fault.

After all, the island country team encountered such a big accident, so many teammates were sent off.

As a brawl incident, stay out of it. Even if their approach is correct, to some extent, they are also traitors,

Not everyone can have a big heart that can take on things like Sawamura and Renji.

There are quite a few players on the court, but they are actually overkill.

They feel that they are a little sorry for those players who left the field.

In this case, standing on the stage of the World Series finals, they are also a bit ashamed.

It even feels like your qualifications have been stolen.

For various reasons, other players except Sawamura and Renji were able to barely display 70% to 80% of their strength.

There is simply no way to over-perform.

In this case, it is reasonable for them to be underestimated by North American players.

Francis thought so.

When watching the video of the game, he also felt that the players of the island country team were somewhat capable.

But after the real match, except for Sawamura, whom they regarded as their archenemy before. That is, Renji, who is partnered with Sawamura, looks a little bit different.

Other players can be completely ignored.

Even Renji, under the light of Sawamura Weiguang, does not have a strong sense of presence.

At least before, Francis never regarded Lian Si as his opponent.

Although Francis is not too willing to admit it until now, the quality displayed by this guy in front of him.

Indeed, he has the qualifications to be his opponent.

Before challenging Sawamura, he had to defeat the jumping clown in front of him no matter what.

"Wait and see!"

Facing the pressing Lian Si, Francis had no intention of stopping his footsteps.

His whole person is like a wild dog running free, continuing to run towards the home plate with all his strength.

In the stands, many Baodao fans shouted out in surprise.

Such a move is not surprising in professional baseball. But on the student field, on the youth baseball field.

But it is strictly forbidden!

You can't hit the catcher so hard, even if you knock the ball off the catcher's hand in the end.

Then you don't even want to go back to home plate and score.

According to the rules of the youth baseball, this is a violation of the rules, the score is not counted, and there must be a number of outs.

coming!

Francis, who was running wildly, was like a speeding armored car.

With boundless strength, and a wild attitude, it looks like it will tear everything down.

Facing the impact of the violent wind and waves, Lian Si gritted his teeth tightly.

He knew that the opponent's momentum was very strong! If you don't pay attention, you may be overwhelmed.

But even so, even if the body is injured, even if it is blocked with the body.

He also wants to stop the hand in front of him.

Lianji's whole body put on a posture of guarding against the impact.

At this time, he was ready to make physical contact with the opponent. At the same time, he tightly grasped the ball in his glove.

Although it is said that once the body collides head-on, the opponent's dream of scoring will be shattered.

But Lian Si was still unwilling to take such a risk.

Or, in his bones, he was unwilling to accept that kind of success.

In his opinion, that kind of success is not a victory, but a failure, a big failure.

Seeing that the two are about to touch each other.

Francis, who was running at high speed, suddenly experienced a change in his body.

When Lian Si was about to touch him, his body suddenly turned 360 degrees.

be cheated!

Seeing the other party's actions, Lian Si still didn't understand. The reaction made by the other party in an instant is nothing more than acting.

From the very beginning, this cunning guy never thought of going head-to-head.

He wanted to force himself into this defensive posture. Both the body and the glove holding the ball are in a state of extreme tension.

In this state, all the strength of his whole body was concentrated in it.

It is not a good thing for him to suddenly withdraw his strength.

This can easily cause bodily injury.

Of course, this is not the most important.

The most important thing is that in this extremely defensive posture, it is difficult for Lianji to change his body posture.

It was difficult for him to change his body posture, and it was naturally difficult for him to stretch out his gloves to intercept Francis who suddenly changed direction.

Move, move for me!

In a few tenths of a second, it is reasonable to say that the brain has no time to react.

But Lian Si felt that this time was enough. He even had time to desperately call out to his body, allowing his body to respond.

The practice that has been tempered and tempered has finally played its due role at this time.

Before Lian Si's brain really reacted, his body reacted in advance.

Facing Francis who suddenly changed direction, he barely stretched out his gloves.

It is actually very difficult to achieve this step in a stiff posture.

But he just did it.

It's a pity that Francis' speed is too fast. Even if Lian Si broke through the limit, he didn't stop the guy who stole the base in the end.

"Get on base, score!!"

When Francis' foot stepped heavily on the home plate.

This staged duel finally came to an end.

From now on, the game has finally entered the final stage.

The total score is 2:1.

The runner also advanced to second base.

The situation began to tilt towards the North American team.

Through this series of introductions, everyone basically understood how risky Sawamura's previous choice was.

This choice was made at the time. If the island nation survived the crisis smoothly, there would naturally be nothing to say.

Their situation is getting better and better. As long as the players of the island nation do not make any mistakes in the final stage, it is almost impossible for the players of the North American team to come back.

Sawamura's approach seems risky, but once they succeed, their benefits will be huge.

That's what happens when you gamble.

If you win, the benefits are huge. If you lose, the situation is the same, the more you win, the more you lose.

The North American team got more than just this point by scoring this time.

The state of their entire team is different, and they seem particularly excited.

It wasn't just Francis who roared, but the runner on second base also roared wildly.

It seems that the time for the North American team to fight back has finally arrived.

Sawamura on the mound didn't show any expression when faced with this question.

He just opened his glove and asked for the ball from Lian Si at the catcher's position.

After reaching the ball, he assumed the posture of throwing the ball.

But just before he pitched, the guy backed away and landed on the back of the mound.

Then his body made a 180-degree turn, and at the same time, the white ball in his hand roared out.

"Snapped!"

It all happened so fast that many people didn't understand what was going on. Including the North American player who had already reached second base, he was completely in a daze.

Then he saw a glove appearing on his body.

"Out!!!!"
