Chapter 26: Immortality!
Close your eyes, as if you can feel the cheers of every cell in your body.
This feeling is so addicting!
Although Sawamura Rongcheng was very unwilling to be a relief pitcher, after all, his ideal was to be an ace. But every time he stood on the mound and faced off against a batter, Sawamura became infatuated.
This feeling is even worse for an ace pitcher. The environment a ace pitcher faces is not necessarily the worst in a game.
But relief pitchers are different. Relief pitchers are generally sent to the field when other pitchers collapse, especially when the ace pitcher collapses.
And that's often when the team faces its biggest crisis.
The most dangerous time to face the monster batters of the big leagues.
Under such circumstances, Eijun Sawamura stood on the mound with an indescribable fascination.
He liked the feeling, the tension of every cell in his body throbbing. Some people are naturally afraid of competition, they are afraid of all kinds of situations when someone challenges them. When it comes to the game, I can't help but get nervous and play out of order.
Sawamura Eijun is also a flesh and blood person, of course he is also nervous, but he likes this tension very much.
In this feeling, the 10 trillion cells in his body are cheering.
I have to say, Matsumoto Kenen is really a good hitter! Playing against a batter like that brings back memories of Sawamura's past life, when he pitched in the major leagues.
How could Matsumoto Kenen know that his unintentional display of momentum awakened a sleeping lion.
It's a little bit inappropriate to say that the sleeping lion is, it is more appropriate to say that he accidentally awakened a demon.
Now that the Devil is awakened, as opponents on the Devil's court, they will inevitably suffer.
"Whoosh!"
Without any fancy extra moves, Sawamura's pitch shot.
The small white ball is like a jumping elf, which can faintly make people see its trajectory, but if you look carefully, you can't figure it out.
This sounds a little hard to understand, but it is the truth. The ball doesn't look like it's very fast, but it's actually surprisingly fast.
If you swing after eye catch the ball, then your swing is too late!
This was the case with Kenen Matsumoto, who swung the bat and bit the ball according to the previous rhythm.
According to his intuition, he should have hit the ball. But in fact, he didn't even touch the ball hair on this ball.
The baseball took a step forward, crossed the strike zone, and burrowed into Jun Matsumoto's glove.
"nice shot!"
The ordinary straight ball actually made Matsumoto Kenen, who is known as the No. 1 hit in Nagano Prefecture, miss his swing. This scene in front of me, even in the eyes of the brothers of the Red Heart Brotherhood, is a bit mysterious.
Of course, they wouldn't care about such a fantastical result.
No matter what his process is, as long as Sawamura Eijun can solve his opponent perfectly, as supporters, they will cheer up.
"Akagi! Akagi! Eijun!!!"
...
With just one strike, Sawamura caused the entire stand to cheer.
As spectators, they didn't seem to be worried at all that Sawamura's ball was hit. Even if his current opponent is one of the best in Nagano Prefecture, Matsumoto Kenen.
The coach of Nagano Metropolitan High School and several players in the stands were silent.
As the so-called layman watches the fun, the expert watches the doorway. The audience at the scene could cheer for the simple reason that Sawamura Eijun let Matsumoto Kenen fail. But they can't, they see something deeper.
"What a pure straight ball!"
Ma Li, who was wearing a braided braid, hesitated and groaned.
Tuyuan next to him is a little unclear, so,
Tsuchimura also realized that Sawamura’s pitch just now was extraordinary, but he couldn’t tell him what was so extraordinary about Sawamura’s ball.
"A straight ball, as the name suggests, is thrown from the pitcher's hand and goes straight to the catcher's ball. Because the trajectory is a straight line, it is called a straight ball. But no matter how powerful a pitcher is, after the ball is thrown, it will inevitably be hit by the ground. The influence of gravity: there will be a certain decline and deceleration. Of course, some pitchers with fast ball speed and superb skills can also use the method of increasing the rotation of the ball to make the ball float to a certain extent. Sawamura Eijun's previous floating ball, It is to use the method of pressing the wrist and raising the legs to increase the rotation of the baseball and make the ball float. Of course, this kind of floating ball is not the same as the straight ball thrown by Sawamura Eijun just now. As I said before, the pitch is not only down In addition to this effect, there is also a process of slowing down. From the pitcher's mound to the catcher's glove, the total length is about 18 meters. During the flight of the ball, it must be a process of first acceleration and then deceleration."
"Could it be that Sawamura Eijun pitched the ball, and when he passed the strike zone, the ball was still accelerating?"
Tuhara asked in disbelief.
It is said that after the ball is released, the distance to accelerate to the peak speed is very short. Because everyone is different, the distance to accelerate to the fastest ball speed is also different. But even so, Tsuchihara had never heard of the fact that someone threw a ball of more than ten meters and was still accelerating.
"It doesn't have to be acceleration, but at least when the ball reaches the batter, it doesn't slow down too much."
Fengxiang Longyi affirmed.
Because there is no deceleration, the baseball is far faster than the actual ball speed when standing on the strike zone.
As an experienced baseball coach, Fengxiang Longyi knows very well that a pitcher with such a pure straight ball is more terrifying than a pitcher with pure ball speed and floating ball.
Just when he thought he had a high opinion of Eijun, Sawamura showed even more terrifying power at this time.
Facing such a terrifying opponent who has already stood at the top of the county and is still evolving, Feng Xiang Long Yi even felt a sense of powerlessness.
Fengxiang Longyi felt powerless. Standing on the court, Matsumoto Kenyuan, who faced off head-to-head with Sawamura, felt more real.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Matsumoto Kenen has felt this way.
It feels like Kamisawa Village has become extremely tall, like a Titan. And he himself became an unarmed warrior.
Sora has a fighting spirit, but he is not an opponent at all.
"Whoosh!"
Matsumoto Kenen was immersed in the frustration of his own powerlessness, and Sawamura's second goal came unceremoniously.
Matsumoto swung the bat subconsciously, then watched the baseball fly over his bat.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
The second ball was a floating ball that caught people off guard.
The sense of powerlessness on Matsumoto Kenyuan became stronger.
Just when he was about to despair, Sawamura's third goal came.
Matsumoto was unable to swing the bat, so naturally he didn't touch the ball.
Three swings, three misses.
Matsumoto Kenyuan was struck out, but he was not out.
At this time, Matsumoto Jun, who has been working well with Sawamura, missed it.
There's an undead strike!
