Chapter 53: Glory
It wasn't until Plains ran past third base that Yamaguchi's pass came belatedly and flew into the infield.
Passing the ball across seven or eighty meters, Yamaguchi has the ability to throw the ball back.
It bounced off the ground once, and the direction of the ball was about ten meters away from the mid-intermediate pitcher's mound, and flew into the infield.
Done!
Many fans of the Brotherhood of Brotherhood subconsciously closed their eyes. They couldn't bear to see the next scene. It is conceivable that Akagi, who was three games ahead, may have come to an end.
"Snapped!"
"Out!!!"
Wait for these people, open your eyes again, and look at everything on the court in an incredible way.
In the position of the catcher, Feng Xiang Aoyi used his gloves to touch Pingyuan steadily.
Who can tell them what just happened?
Dalin grabbed Xiaolin's arm excitedly. The changes on the court just now were really wonderful. He was really thankful that he hadn't blinked just now.
Colin is exactly the same.
Just now, Sawamura on the pitcher's mound not only planned out where the baseball would land in advance and prepared for the past to catch the ball, but also gave a set to the people at Tenryuji Middle School.
When the baseball came, Sawamura deliberately didn't leave the mound, but stayed there.
It is precisely because of this that the running instructor of Tenryuji Temple predicted that Yamaguchi made a mistake in passing the ball and that no one in Akagi caught the ball. Then he gave Pingyuan a secret signal and let Pingyuan hit home plate.
Originally, if Yamaguchi could throw the ball directly to the infield, Sawamura would not have time to catch it. But the ball bounced off the ground once, which gave Sawamura time, and he rushed out to catch the ball and then passed the ball to home plate.
As a catcher, Fengxiang was unequivocal. In a direct dialogue with Plains, he defeated the famous Nagano club.
"Out!"
Just such a super long shot, it flew~
The players of Tenryu Temple felt a little unreal.
Could it be that this time, God is not on their side? Ordinarily, even if Pingyuan couldn't run back, he would have no problem getting to third base. How can such a long outfield play fly?
The assistant coach of Tianlong Temple is about to regret it.
"Damn, just a little bit. If I had known, it would have been better to have Pingyuan stop at third base."
No one out, someone at third base!
Even if Akagi is now using super infield defense, they can still use hit and run, or use Goofy to score a point.
"People would rather take the risk and give us such a big bait, how can they allow us not to take the bait?"
Chasing the bases and aggressively attacking is the style of every strong team, and these things have been integrated into their blood to varying degrees. It is not the style of Tianlong Temple to let runners give up when they see an opportunity. If they really do that, then maybe the offensive and defensive system of Tenryu Temple will collapse.
At this time, the old fox of Tianlong Temple, Yamano Boguang, had already fully sensed the intention of Sawamura's formation.
Why second base was left empty, and why Yamaguchi was moved from infield to center field.
The reason is simple, because Yamaguchi is the only one on Akagi's team who can throw the ball from outfield back to infield. The young man is worthy of his 80kg weight and has amazing arm strength.
Of course, his passing also has weaknesses, that is, the accuracy of the head is very poor, and the deviation is astonishing. At this time, if the shortstop and second baseman stay in their original positions, they will inevitably interfere with Sawamura on the pitcher's mound to catch the ball.
So, Sawamura simply moved them away, so that Sawamura could see the pass from center field. Others also deliberately dodge, Sawamura can easily judge the landing point and come to catch the ball.
Of course, leaving the second base empty has a deeper purpose.
When people cross first base, second base, third base, and these bases, they will subconsciously observe the defense,
So generally don't run at full strength. Sawamura deliberately vacated second base so that runners could go to second base without any scruples.
Once on second base, they're in the scoring lap, and they certainly don't want to miss the chance to run back to home plate whenever they get a chance.
Sawamura also took advantage of this, and deliberately set a trap for the people of Tenryu Temple. In this way, after the batter hits the outfield, he is either at second base or he chooses to return to home plate. The time to hit third base is not easy.
Just now, Sawamura didn't choose to rush to the direction the ball flew in at the first time, which was a bit risky. But that risk, he had to take. At that time, Akagi had only one choice, and that was to lure the plain to the home plate and touch him at the home plate.
Otherwise, if the third base is on the plain, there is almost no way for Akagi to avoid losing points.
Akagi can use bunts to advance, hit and run, and score a point. There is no reason why the tyrannical Tenryu Temple can't do it.
"What an interesting little guy."
Yamano Hiromitsu looked at Sawamura with admiration in his eyes. He was sorry for his previous judgment.
Although the pitching is not as strong as Nanami Haruka, as a pitcher, Sawamura's level of trouble is no less than Nanami Haruka.
Even with Yamano's decades of experience, he has never seen such an effect with a 125-kilometer straight ball.
"This son, will become a great weapon in the future!"
The game continues!
When Sawamura found out that the batter at Tenryuji Temple had already started to aim for the straight ball that was floating up, he immediately changed his pitch. He constantly adjusts the range of his rise and the tempo of his pitches.
In this way, although it is inevitable to be hit high and ground, and even occasionally be sent to the outfield by the hitter, he managed to hold two rounds without any risk.
In the fifth round of the game, the two sides clashed many times, and the tyrannical Tianlong Temple never conquered the wonderful defense of Chicheng Middle School. There was an outfield hit, but no points.
At the end of five innings, the score between the two sides stopped at 1:0.
Akagi Middle School, away from the final victory, is only short of the last six outs.
When the fans of the original Brotherhood of Brotherhood came to watch the game, they thought that although Akagi performed amazingly, there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides. It should be impossible for Akagi to have a chance to defeat Tenryuji.
I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, and it turned out to be such a result in the end.
After the five rounds of the game, Tianlong Temple still did not score a point from Sawamura's hands.
Akagi is like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, tenacious and scary.
"Even though the defense is so bad, it has forced Tianlong Temple to not break the duck's egg."
"It's terrifying!"
"What's that pitcher's name? It feels like he's more powerful than Nanami Haruka?"
"It seems, it's called Sawamura, Sawamura Eijun."
...
The audience were talking about Sawamura. From this moment on, Sawamura became completely famous. Although his suppression of Nagano Metropolitan was considered a blockbuster at the beginning, the circle was small after all, and the persuasiveness of a game was limited.
But now it's different. The two kings of Nagano County, Nagano Metropolitan and Tenryuji Middle School, have been continuously suppressed. Sawamura's strength has finally been recognized, and there is no doubt about it.
