Chapter 59: Different Results

Two outs, no one on base.

Ninety-nine percent of the people who survived the core lineup of Tenryuji Middle School thought the match would be the same as when Akagi played Nagano Toritsu in the first round.

In the extra match, the side that scores first will undoubtedly be closer to winning.

in the stands.

Yasushi Fukuda, the editor-in-chief of the Nagano area of ​​Baseball Boys. A pair of eyes, like two huge searchlights, shone on Sawamura's body. Since these little guys from the Akagi Middle School baseball team miraculously counterattacked Nagano Metropolitan High School, one of the three kings, he has been paying attention to them.

Fukuda Yasushi believes that the future of Akagi is definitely not limited to Nagano.

Of course, this is not the reason why he pays so much attention to Akagi. Akagi is most attracted to him by Akagi's ace pitcher, Sawamura Eijun.

Sawamura is different from all geniuses. Other geniuses grow up step by step, and their growth trajectory can be seen more or less. For example, the baseball you learned there, why you like baseball, what records you have, what rankings you have won, how you have performed, and so on.

Any team, as long as there is talent, is like putting an awl in your trouser pocket, you can't help but find it, it will prick people.

Sawamura was different. Before entering Akagi Middle School, no one knew about Sawamura. As if he was born out of nowhere, he turned the entire Nagano Prefecture upside down as soon as he was born.

Originally, everyone thought that although Sawamura had great potential, Akagi's overall strength was weak, and it was too early to challenge the three kings. As a result, Sawamura slapped everyone in the face with practical actions. Akagi broke the record of Nagano Prefecture for 20 years in his first competition and picked up one of the three kings!

After defeating Nagano Metropolitan High School, Akagi lost the advantage of a dark horse. In this case, I encountered Tenryuji Junior High School, which was even more powerful than Nagano Metropolis.

"This time, Chicheng should be out of luck, right?"

Many people who eat melons think so, but what is the result?

Facing the No. 1 Tenryuji Middle School in Nagano County, Akagi not only was not defeated, but even in the first five rounds of the game, it firmly suppressed Tenryuji Middle School. If it weren't for the outbreak of Nagano's No. 1 player Nanami Haruka, Tenryuji might even sink in Sawamura's wonderful pitching.

Seeing that Sawamura easily solved the fourth and fifth bats of Tenryu Temple, the supporters of the Brotherhood of Chi-Hearts were all terrifyingly bright-eyed. They who have seen the miracle of Akagi certainly don't mind meeting them again.

At this time, in the bullpen of Tenryuji Middle School.

The old man Shan Ye no longer looks like a hot old man, his face is very flat, his eyes are deep and bottomless.

I saw him patted his hat, and then made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Tenryuji Middle School, began to use their trump card.

At the time, Sawamura had not noticed this.

It wasn't until he saw Tenryuji's sixth batter, posing for a bunt, that Sawamura realized something was wrong.

Sawamura looked at the cowshed of Tenryuji Middle School in surprise. That old man, have you found it?

He was a little unsure, if the old man Yamano saw his intention, why didn't he act before? Now that the game is drawing to a close...

in the stands.

"Hey, two outs, are the batters in Tianlong Temple crazy?"

"In front of the first and third bases of Akagi, including the catcher, there are six people hoarding. At this time, isn't the bunt a death sentence?"

"Probably being fooled by God Sawamura."

"Haha, I didn't expect that the king Tianlong Temple, which won the top eight in the country, would have such a day."

"It makes me happy to think about it!"

...

On the other hand, when Sawamura pitched the ball, he was very careful. He chose the straight ball with the greatest power, and at the same time made the ball into the outside corner with precision. Such hitters are generally more difficult to stop the ball.

Even if it hits the ball, it bounces back toward the middle ground between the pitcher and the first baseman.

"Ping!"

The six-stick hitter of Tenryu Temple used the bunt without any hesitation. After the baseball was touched, it bounced off and fell out of bounds.

"The outside world!"

Tenryu Temple had six bats, and angrily hit his head with a bat.

Damn, the ball landed in the outside corner, and it was not easy to stop the ball even if it was a bunt, and the ball was much heavier than expected.

"Next time, be sure to fight well!"

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura's face was so ugly that he was dying.

He finally determined that the opponent was not testing, but was determined to use bunts to open a gap in the defensive formation of Chicheng Middle School.

Cang Yue and Xiao Tian were almost guarding against the batter. It took less than two seconds from the time the baseball landed to when they picked it up, and it took less than a second for the rest of the pass.

As far as the current Akagi Middle School's defense is concerned, as long as the ball hits the infield, the entire defense is completed, and it only lasts for just over three seconds. Even though Tenryu Temple has always been known for being agile, their batters ran from the strike zone to first base in far more than three seconds.

At this time, the batters of Tianlong Temple used bunt tactics, which seemed to be no different from suicide. But even so, the batter of Tianlong Temple still unswervingly adopted the short-strike offensive, and launched a suicide charge towards the hinterland of Akagi without hesitation.

In the cowshed of Tenryu Temple.

The assistant coach of Tenryuji Middle School looked at the changes on the field with worry, and felt very uneasy. Although Coach Yamano has rarely made mistakes before, he can often come up with some strange, but very practical ideas.

But it's too risky this time, isn't it?

"coach!"

I really can't convince myself to stand by and watch, the assistant coach of Tianlong Temple is still ready to make his own suggestions.

An old man has become a master. Yamano Hiromitsu is such a typical example. As soon as the assistant coach opens his mouth, he knows what his deputy wants to say?

"Xiaomu, why do you think Chicheng Middle School uses such a strange garrison?"

"Of course, it's to guard against bunts. If they do this, it's difficult for even a professional team to use bunts to attack, right? With this defensive formation, pitchers can wholeheartedly fight against batters."

Yamano smiled like an old fox: "Yeah, the analysis is right. But are we all frightened by the dragon gate array on the other side's surface? That we neglected a very important thing. Why is Akagi so afraid of bunts? ? Generally speaking, it's just a matter of fighting bunts and going forward and defending. Like them, it's probably more than just being on guard."

As if to verify Yamano's words, Sawamura's second goal was hit by Tenryuji's sixth.

"Ping!"

Bunt, fly to third base.

"Wakana!"

Sawamura's voice trembled slightly.

Cang Yue looked at the ball rolling towards her and said, "Leave it to me!"

She bent over and picked up the white ball with ease.

The whole action is very clean and neat. Up to now, the ball has been hit, and not even a second has passed, and the batter has just started.

"Pass first base!"

In the bullpen of Tianlong Temple, the assistant coach closed his eyes in pain.

It's over, it's over. He knew that the garrison was so close that there was no difference between bunts and courting death.

Not far from him, Shan Ye's old eyes were shining brightly.

He didn't seem to be surprised that Wakana could receive the ball, but he still looked forward to the future development.
