Chapter 63: Confessions

For Sawamura, Nanami Haruka admires from the bottom of his heart. Although in terms of current strength, Nanami Haruka is not worse than Sawamura, and may even be higher. But Nanami Haruka could smell the same kind of breath from Sawamura.

An air of genius.

This may sound a bit nasty, but it's the truth. Only genius can be recognized by genius.

Nanami Haruka has seen many baseball masters, and most of these people are much older than him. As long as they play against each other, Nanami Haruka can have a rough estimate of the opponent's strength. Although this estimate is not 100% accurate, it is also close to ten. The most terrifying thing is that Qi Hai Yao can still vaguely know the limit of the other party, and when he can surpass the limit of the other party...

This is terrible!

As for the opponent that he would definitely surpass, the opponent was much older than himself, even if Qi Haiyao was not as strong as the opponent at that time, it would be difficult for him to have too much interest in the opponent.

You are better than me just because you are older than me. When we are on the same field, you are not even worthy of my shoes.

Of course Nanami Haruka wouldn't say these words foolishly. But he does feel that way, and it's so ingrained that it can't be changed.

And Sawamura is an exception.

Even after a few rounds of confrontation, Nanami Haruka still didn't see where Sawamura's bottom line was. Therefore, Nanami Haruka believes that Sawamura and him are the same kind of people. They have no limits of their own. Only God knows what strength and achievements they will have in the future.

Of course, it was all pitching against Sawamura. As for Sawamura's attack, Nanami Haruka certainly has another comment. Among the opponents that Nanami Haruka has played against, although Sawamura's striking strength is not one of the best, he can definitely rank in the top ten.

You must know that Nanami Haruka is not the only player from the Nagano area. As a well-known strong pitcher in the country, he has participated in two national competitions, once in elementary school and once in middle school. The Kanto Conference has even participated in countless...

Such a player would rate Sawamura's attacking strength as the top ten in the country, so the gold content of these words is very high.

But even with such a hitter, Nanami Haruka is still confident that he can solve it.

His strength is evident from this.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball flew towards Sawamura's chest. Sawamura, who was standing on the strike zone, did not move with his feet and didn't retreat half a step. He didn't seem to be scared by Nanami Haruka's pitch.

At the same time, the short stick in his hand was retracted, and then he hit it hard.

Nanami Haruka guessed right, Sawamura did use a trick. However, his cheating is different. Sawamura's cheating is not to block Nanami Haruka's ball path, but to aim.

Strange to say, and I don't know why, after Sawamura aimed with a short stick, the success rate of the strike was terrifyingly high.

His batting average in professional baseball in his previous life was just in the early 30s, but he aimed at bunts first, and then hit 70%. No one cared at first, and Sawamura often used this method to build miracles.

Later, the occupation database was updated, and statistics were made specifically for Sawamura's bunts and bunts after aiming.

People were surprised to find that Sawamura still had such a trait. The success rate of bunt tactics is as high as 98%, and the on-base rate is as small as 30%. The cheating hit rate is as high as 71%...

In the face of this miraculous phenomenon, experts have no idea why. Originally, Sawamura's attack method was used less and less, but later, as he used it more and more, the monster pitchers in the major league had to develop special tactics for Sawamura, and even when the situation was unfavorable, they would not hesitate to use it. Walk Sawamura to base.

...

These miraculous records made a lot of noise in Sawamura's previous life, but no one knows about them now.

Of course Nanami Haruka didn't know either, but he confidently threw his winning shot,

Little do they know that Sawamura has long been eyeing this ball.

"Ping!"

Without a trace of extra action, Sawamura hit Nanami Haruka's tiebreaker as if it were a matter of course.

The ball flew out, and Sawamura threw away his bat and ran frantically to first base.

"Snapped!"

The baseball bounced off the ground, and Tenryuji's shortstop flew to catch the baseball, and then passed to first base. Sawamura hit first base almost in no particular order with baseball.

The umpire at first base had swollen eyes.

Who can tell him what he should do now?

"Out!"

When the first base referee's voice came out, it was like a death knell for Akagi.

There will be no suspense in the next game.

In the seventh inning, Tianlong Temple Middle School used bunts to advance, steal bases, and destroy mobility, and scored another point. Although Sawamura solved Nanami Haruka, Akagi was gone.

The total score, 3:1!

In the second half of the seventh inning, Akagi Middle School attacked.

Oda, Fengxiang, Yamaguchi, two of the three were struck out, only Fengxiang hit the ball and was picked up by pitcher Haruka Nanami.

"competition is over!"

"Semi-finals of the Nagano Prefecture Regional Competition, the second game. Akagi Middle School played Tenryuji Middle School. The game is over. The score is 3:1, and Tenryuji Middle School wins."

...

After the game, Sawamura's eyes drifted away, and the surrounding friends, opponent Tianlong Temple, including the surrounding audience, were no longer in his sight.

"pat~"

There was a drop of water on his face, and Sawamura looked up at the sky blankly. Is it raining?

In the sky, the sun is shining brightly, and the people who take it are irritable.

Haha, lost, only one game away. Although Sawamura didn't have much expectations for this competition from the beginning, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he lost at this time.

One win, just one game away.

If the one in front of you is not Tianlong Temple, one of the top eight in the country, if you can vote better in this game, if...

"Shh~"

Breathing out a suffocating breath, Sawamura decided not to care about himself anymore. Some things cannot be forced. Fortunately, there is no third grade among them, and there are still opportunities. It's just that in the next competition, I'm afraid I won't have such good luck.

"You voted so well, Sawamura-sama!!!"

"We will always support you."

"Come on, Akagi! Come on, Sawamura!!!"

...

In the stands, the fans of the Brotherhood of Brotherhood stood up one by one, applauding Akagi, cheering and encouraging.

"Come on, go and thank the audience who cheered us on."

Sawamura said with a smile.

Most of Akagi's friends had tears in their eyes. But this game lost to Tianlong Temple, and they had nothing to say. However, next time, next time they will definitely not drag Sawamura back. Let him compete with Nanami Haruka in an upright manner.

"thanks!!!"

Akagi Middle School, a total of eleven people, stood in a row, facing the friends of the Chixin Brotherhood, and bent down deeply.

After thanking the audience, the players from both sides saluted each other.

"Thank you for your advice!"

This time, the people from Tenryu Temple sincerely shook hands with Akagi's friends one by one.

The little friends of Akagi Middle School used their own strength to win the respect of their opponents.
