pps: Thanks to Little Snowman and Little W for their generous rewards!

The sharp restraint was not noticed by anyone before.

A small white ball appeared in the second baseman's glove as if it had suddenly flashed.

North American players, who can represent North America to participate in the competition, are already the most outstanding and outstanding in their age group.

Although they don't have the same training mechanism as the island country, they don't allow such a wide range of players to receive cruel training.

But baseball is very popular in North America. There are many people who have loved this sport since they were young.

In their view, hard training is not bitter at all, it is even a kind of fun.

Up to now, players who can represent the highest level of this age group in North America have basically learned that their bodies act before their brains.

In other words, if there were no accidents, when they saw Sawamura's reaction, their bodies would react immediately.

Fell to the base pack.

This has been trained as a conditioned reflex by them.

But in the process just now, when Sawamura passed the ball, the runner on the North American base bag was completely stupid where he was standing.

It was only after the second baseman of the island nation received the ball that his body was unlocked and he reacted.

But at that time, it was too late!

The white ball has already appeared in the glove of the second baseman. When the second baseman blocks the route of all the runners' home bases, his out is a matter of course.

After the players from North America scored a point, everyone thought that the island team would face a huge challenge.

They may go downhill and things will get tougher and tougher.

No one expected that in such a critical moment, Sawamura would show such superb containment.

His restraint can even be said to be miraculous.

After the commentator saw it, he was stunned for three or four seconds, but he didn't think of a suitable adjective.

In the end, he could only speak excitedly.

"The island nation team was not to be outdone, and after losing a point, they used superb containment skills to force out the North American players."

The tone was very excited, the voice was loud, and even a little trembling.

But the adjective he came up with was a little weak.

There is no way, the narrator can no longer find words to describe his current excited mood.

It's amazing!

Although Sawamura, who has known the island country before, has always had the nickname of the big devil.

It is said that he is a guy with very terrifying strength. Players who fight against him often feel deep despair.

That's why he got the nickname of Great Demon King.

Such praise is unavoidably exaggerated. It's not like they haven't seen young players with outstanding strength.

But it's not going to be like the island country's propaganda, right?

If there is such a player, is he still human?

In the stands, those guys who didn't have a chance to play felt sour at this moment.

The Islands performed well, and of course they are happy. But while being happy, it is inevitable that there will be some sour emotions in my heart.

Sawamura Eijun is really capable!

They knew this early on, but after seeing it with their own eyes, it was inevitable that they felt a little uncomfortable.

"I remember this guy, he rarely succeeds in pinning. I didn't expect that these players in North America are so weak that this guy can easily pin down successfully!"

Cheng Gongming muttered in dissatisfaction.

Indeed, in the past, whether it was a competition in Tokyo or a national competition.

Sawamura's pinning the ball rarely pins the opponent out directly.

"When facing the big devil, how many people dare to leave the base bag? The one who leaves the base bag is not one of the best runners. Even they dare not steal the base easily when facing Sawamura. Adding the name of the person and the shadow of the tree. When confronting Sawamura, everyone should be careful and walk on thin ice. In this case, it is of course difficult for Sawamura to pin down the opponent."

Xing Tian said hesitantly.

As long as he thinks of the various performances of choosing a village, he feels a little unreal.

It's hard to imagine, what happened to them when they faced such an opponent?

That was a nightmare!

It is so sad that they were born in this era.

If it was before, with their strength, how could they miss Jiaziyuan?

But there is no way, who let them meet the rising Qingdao? And it's still the Qingdao of Arisawa Village.

"His pinning the ball is like a ninja's shuriken. When he came over, it was silent, and by the time you found out, it was already too late. If you didn't focus on his body and just watched the ball, how could you die? Do not know at all."

Little Hei'er Carlos also remembered the moment when he confronted Sawamura.

To be honest, that was not really a pleasant memory.

Just remembering what they experienced when they confronted Sawamura, it was like a nightmare. Especially for the friends in Daocheng.

Fortunately, now, the dream is all awake!

"You don't need to be pessimistic. Let this guy be a headache to our juniors. We have already graduated, so we don't care about these messy things."

Tianjiu is very open-minded.

He has always been a weirdo, out of gregarious, and always has some weird ideas in his family life.

Everyone can only choose to ignore him.

Kuramo listened with satisfaction.

Now in the stands, most of Tokyo's star players are gathered.

To put it bluntly, these guys are some of the most powerful people in Tokyo.

Only Sawamura was not among them.

But even if Sawamura is not in this group of people, the legend of Sawamura is still circulating in this group of people.

Unknowingly, the junior in my dorm room is no longer the strongest rookie. His strength, even among the star players in Tokyo, is second to none.

I'm afraid that for a long time to come, Sawamura's name will become a psychological obstacle for these guys.

Miyuki Kazuya also couldn't help but recall the first time he saw Sawamura.

That was a really memorable story.

In fact, before Sawamura joined Seidou, because of his grievances with the third-year seniors, everyone had great expectations for his strength.

Long before Qingdao, there has been a saying. Everyone believed that the addition of Sawamura Eijun would bring tremendous opportunities to the Seido High School baseball team.

In fact, his joining has indeed brought unprecedented opportunities to the Qingdao High School baseball team.

So far, Qingdao has won the three consecutive championships of Jiashien.

With Sawamura becoming a third-year player, the glory of Seido High's baseball team should continue.

Now there are many capable players emerging across the country, plus the original star players.

Although many powerful players have retired, the remaining players are definitely not simple roles.

Their strength is also no small matter.

The Qingdao High School baseball team should still have many challenges.

But as long as Sawamura is around, these challenges are just challenges after all.

The Qingdao High School baseball team is still the most promising team to win the championship, and their legend will continue.

As for Sawamura himself.

Just look at today's game and you will know that the island country can no longer accommodate this giant Buddha.

At least high school can't accommodate it!

His talent has really reached the level of world attention.

"We are really in the same team as a great monster."

Sawamura on the mound didn't know the emotion of those players in the stands.

He glanced up at the electronic scorer.

2:1!

As far as the current situation is concerned, the lead of the island nation is no longer worth mentioning.

A home run, two or three hits, can change the situation on the field.

North American team!

Even if it is not the superb dream team, the strength of these players must not be underestimated.

Each of them is the elite of the elite, better than most of the island team players.

If it is the representatives of the Tokyo Stars, then Sawamura is still very confident of winning.

Maybe some players' personal strength is still not as good as that of the North American side, but everyone knows the bottom line, and the combined strength is 1+1>2.

Especially since there are two of Sawamura's teammates in there.

Of course, the most important thing is the existence of Miyuki.

It can be seen that before the game, the players of the North American team really put a lot of thought into it.

They have studied themselves. Although they have not studied thoroughly, they have studied.

This and ignorance are two completely different concepts.

The current strength of Keze Village cannot be easily confronted by the opponent after simply studying it.

If his partner is Miyuki, Sawamura can show his pitching ability 100%.

So even if North American players have studied him before, Sawamura still has the confidence to block his opponent.

It's not that the opponent is not allowed to score, it is that the opponent is not even given a hit.

Sawamura is in good form today, and he is absolutely confident to do this.

But unfortunately, now his partner is Renji. A good state not only cannot help Sawamura, but even limits his performance to a great extent.

It is precisely because of his good form that the grade change ball is sharper.

Originally, there were so many changing balls, but Lian Si couldn't catch them.

Today, his throws are faster, more powerful, and more angled.

It was even more impossible for Lian Si to receive it.

There is no way to use the tricky change ball. What can be used is some ordinary pitches and changeups.

Regarding this point, Sawamura was also very helpless.

But now that he has reached this point, he has nothing to say, he can only concentrate on throwing his own ball.

Wholeheartedly and meticulously, I found that the balls I can throw now show the greatest power.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball, like a sharp arrow, soared to the extreme in an instant.

Then with an indomitable momentum, he plunged into the catcher's glove.

During this process, the third hitter of the North American team was in awe of the whole process.

I don't know if he doesn't want to make a move, or if he has no way to make a move.

But his motionless posture waiting for the ball is really annoying.

Not to mention Sawamura as a pitcher, even Renji at the catcher's position can feel it.

How great is the pressure brought by the third team in North America?

To be honest, every North American player counts as one, and none of them are easy to deal with.

Especially the first few bats, starting from Francis, these guys all have their own characteristics.

Give it a little sunshine and it will be brilliant, give it a little color, and you can open your own dyeing room.

Once such a player is allowed to go all out.

Then the island team will be in big trouble.

To avoid this, there are some things they have to work out.

Absolutely can't let the other party do whatever they want in such a comfortable way.

Renji, who had an idea in mind, gave Sawamura a signal.

Seeing Renji's active performance, Sawamura also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, looking at him like that before, even if he collapsed, it is not an incredible thing.

In the head-to-head conflict at the home plate, Lian Si lost to Francis.

To be honest, this kind of blow is very big.

Fortunately, Lian Si himself is very mature, so he held on strong.

This is good news for the Islands and Sawamura.

You know, there is no one who can replace Lian Si in the rest area of ​​the island nation team.

Even with this partner, there is no way to fully exert the power of Sawamura.

But the two can cooperate anyway, and they even cooperate well when Sawamura does not use high-level change balls.

What a rare thing this is, and it deserves a special mention.

If you change a catcher, whether you can catch Sawamura's straight ball is a problem.

Coupled with Hongo and the others, they are also very thorny pitchers.

It is also not an easy task to catch their ball.

To put it bluntly, for the current island nation team. Their most important person is not even Sawamura.

Although Sawamura led them all the way to the present.

But if you really want to talk about the importance to the team, I am afraid that the most important person today is the most indispensable one.

It is Renji at the catcher position, his state can definitely directly affect the outcome of the game.

In the rest area, there is no catcher to replace.

"Ping!"

The third batter, who was motionless, was finally defeated in the face of Sawamura's pressing every step of the way.

Facing the baseball that is close at hand, he has no choice but to swing the bat in his hand.

"Ping!"

The boy's batting ability is not bad, he caught the second ball and hit Sawamura's pitching skills.

It's a pity that although he seized the opportunity, the blow was not thorough enough.

Failed to completely blast the ball out.

After the ball was knocked out, the palm of the hitter was still trembling slightly.

I didn't expect that guy, not only the speed of the ball is amazing, but the power of pitching is also extraordinary.

The ball is so heavy!

The white ball flew quite high, but it didn't fly very far.

That is, at a distance of 20 meters, it landed vertically.

Sawamura on the pitcher's mound raised his glove high and firmly received the ball into his glove.

The scene in front of me is for both sides of the game, even for the fans in the stands.

It's all too familiar.

Not long ago, they had seen almost exactly the same scene.

Could it be that it was not a coincidence before, but a design?
