Chapter 6: Wizards

By the time the game reached the fifth inning, the difference between the score between the old and the freshmen was already unbearable.

Fortunately, the friends of the freshmen team have already figured it out. They are no longer obsessed with the score on the field, but only care about their performance. In this way, the strength gap between individuals is revealed, and now, 90% of the players left on the field are the players who were less talented in the past.

18 of the 19 freshmen have also played, and the most outstanding performance is basically in line with everyone's original expectations.

The strength of Pu Chun and Xiao Mu is obviously higher than the others. Now, the two have the highest scores.

Not being able to score six points early and qualify early, just because they played later than others and haven't had a chance yet. I believe that as long as there are two more games, the two will be able to qualify in advance.

And from Sawamura's own point of view, the strength of the two has reached the level that they can play. He could completely replace Cang Yue and serve as his own substitute.

I don't know if these two people had already found a place for themselves before they came to Chicheng Middle School. But for the baseball team, the addition of the two is indeed a good addition. Although it can't be regarded as a rebirth of the team, it did increase the team's strength by one or two percent.

As for Wakana, no matter how childhood sweethearts, the relationship is close. Sawamura had to admit that girls couldn't compare to boys' physical fitness. Especially at the age of 13 or 14, it is the peak period of boys' development, and girls are more vulnerable.

It is no longer suitable to continue to let Wakana serve as the main force of the team. After all, Akagi is no longer the grassroots team that was just created, and Wakana is not one of the best female men with better physical fitness than boys.

She can only transfer to be the team manager.

For such a change, Wakana himself also readily accepted. It was really hard for her to have her fight on the court with a group of boys. If it wasn't for Sawamura's childhood sweetheart, Wakana would never have done this.

The Orientation Tournament was even more boring than Sawamura imagined.

Under the leadership of Sawamura, the old student was a bloody torture to the new student. Even if they themselves are not much better than the freshmen, they had gone shopping with Tenryuji Middle School and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.

With such confidence, there is cooperation and tacit understanding.

The new opponents on the other side are limited by the rules and cannot form an effective combination of offense and defense, and can only fight on their own.

Under this situation, it is not surprising that the old and the new are tortured by blood.

Among the freshmen, the only person who showed interest to Sawamura was probably their catcher.

On the court, the only freshman players who can persist from the beginning of the game to the present are their catchers. The other starters, including the original two junior players, were all pushed down.

As a catcher, this kid made almost no mistakes. He was very good at receiving the ball, but at the same time he didn't cooperate with the pitcher and scored strikeouts.

Didn't lose points while fielding, and never scored.

If that's the case, it would be easy for him to be eliminated.

According to the rules set by Sawamura, as long as he gets a strikeout, he loses three points, and two rounds of line play are enough to put him out.

But when this kid hits, he is also very ghostly. If it was a normal swing, it would be impossible for him to touch Sawamura Ball with his striking strength.

So at the beginning of the attack, this kid completely gave up the normal attack.

He used all the bunts, so even if he hit the ground, he would only lose two points, and if he was lucky enough to be stopped by the defense, he would lose one point.

And this guy took the initiative to ask to play first.

Everyone is not a fool, and those who play first will naturally suffer. He took advantage of this and completed the exchange with the ninth ball drawn by the lottery.

The game went to the fifth inning,

The guy only dropped four points in total.

Although he has the lowest score of the nine people on the court now, he has been around the longest.

As far as Sawamura Eijun feels, he really doesn't like such people. It seems that such guys are generally very good at calculating. And Sawamura itself has a natural character, and some people are naturally resistant to those who like to calculate.

"What's your name?"

Although he didn't appreciate the opponent's personality very much, when Sawamura stood on the strike zone, he took the initiative to ask his name.

Senior Fengxiang will be graduating soon. For Akagi Middle School, they desperately need a catcher to supplement.

As the team's captain and direct leader, it is necessary for Sawamura to find a successor for Fengxiang.

The guy in front of him, although he looks immature, feels like a really good catcher.

"Hello, senior!"

The young man was a little flattered, and stammered with his mouth open, "Matsumoto Jun, my name is Matsumoto Jun, senior."

Oh!

Sawamura nodded noncommittally, then continued to ask casually, "How long have you been playing baseball?"

Matsumoto Jun seemed a little embarrassed and only stretched out three fingers.

three years?

Sawamura frowned subconsciously.

Although it is said that Matsumoto Jun performed well in receiving the ball. But if he has been practicing baseball for three years, it means that he has been playing baseball since the third grade of elementary school, and he has been so immature until now.

This is beyond words!

There are only two possibilities for such a result. The first is that he doesn't practice much, and he doesn't like it very much; the second is that he has no talent...

And these two are just dead spots, no matter what the reason is, Sawamura can't tolerate it.

Feeling a little unwilling to give up, Sawamura asked a question.

"Three years?"

If Matsumoto Jun nodded, Sawamura would definitely kick him out of his list without hesitation.

Matsumoto shook his head.

Sawamura felt his breathing a lot faster.

"Three months?"

When he said these three words, Sawamura's voice trembled slightly.

If Matsumoto Jun has only practiced for three months, then he is definitely a good seedling.

Catching the ball looks simple, but it is also about talent.

This time, Matsumoto Jun shook his head again.

Sawamura is already a little afraid to guess.

"three weeks?"

Shake your head!

"Three days?"

When he said three days, Sawamura himself was dubious.

If I hadn't been in the big leagues, I'd seen all kinds of geniuses all over the world.

Sawamura wouldn't believe what he said. Someone could catch three different pitchers in three days without making a mistake.

"the third time!"

This time, Matsumoto Jun finally gave the answer.

Sawamura looked at him stupidly, his eyes widened.

I'm going, wizards!
