Chapter 28: 1st Pitcher

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"strike out!!!!"

Nagano Prefecture, in the quarter-finals, the second game of Akagi Middle School VS Dabei Middle School, in the end Akagi Middle School defeated the opponent 3:0.

When Sawamura scored the last strike, thousands of fans fell into an eerie silence.

Whether it's the brothers from the Brotherhood of Hearts, or the support team and cheerleaders who support Dabei Middle School, they are all silent.

They looked at the 18 people on the field in shock, watched them walk towards them, and then bowed to themselves to express their gratitude.

For the brothers of the Brotherhood of Brotherhood, they have seen this scene too many times. Almost every time the game is over, the players from Chicheng Middle School will thank the audience like this, thanking the fans who came from afar to cheer them on in the scorching sun.

Why did the Brotherhood of Brotherhood grow so fast? There are various reasons for this. The core reason is of course relying on the call of the star Sawamura.

In addition, there is another important reason that the people of Akagi Middle School really regard these fans of the Brotherhood of Brotherhood as their closest comrades-in-arms.

As fans, they can clearly feel the hearts of the players.

So every time the game is over, their applause is very warm, and the voice of cheering is also very high.

But today, today is very strange, everyone in the Brotherhood of Brotherhood stood up and applauded silently, without saying a word. They paid their highest respect to the 18 thin figures on the court.

As the most die-hard fans of Akagi Middle School, the brothers of the Akagi Brotherhood have witnessed the growth of these children in Akagi Middle School with their own eyes. They said unceremoniously that they watched Sawamura Yamaguchi and the others grow up step by step.

Now Akagi Middle School has entered the semi-finals of Nagano Prefecture, and it is only one step away from the Kanto Conference. This is not the first time Akagi Middle School has achieved this result. Whether it was last summer or autumn, they also won Nagano. County's top four ranking. Ordinarily, such a ranking is not enough to make the brothers of the Brotherhood of Brotherhood feel so excited.

According to the real situation, this is not the case. It is precisely because they watched the children of Akagi Middle School grow up step by step, so they were more moved. A year ago, although Akagi Middle School also reached the semi-finals of Nagano County, most of the teams they defeated were ordinary teams. , they are still far from the three kings of Nagano Prefecture.

The difference is clearly visible to the naked eye.

Even if Akagi Middle School wins, it is only because of Sawamura Eijun's wonderful performance and the welfare of being a dark horse.

As a dark horse, there are benefits. Of course, the first time a team participates in a competition, one's own psychology has to be adjusted.

But at the same time, as a dark horse, it is also extremely advantageous. First, your opponents will not be too wary of you, and you will inevitably make mistakes. The second is that your own characteristics and tactics are unfamiliar to others, and there is no way to specifically target them.

In basketball's biggest event, the NBA, every year's rookies perform exceptionally well, but in the second year they often encounter huge obstacles, so that their performances are mediocre.

This is the effect of the dark horse. The obstacles ahead are like fire, and only real gold can withstand the test of fire.

Akagi is real gold refined by fire!

In the face of the three kings last summer, Akagi Middle School was only able to play tricks and steal the victory. Now, it is actually competing with Dabei Middle School, one of the three kings, in an upright head-to-head contest, and the result is an overwhelming victory.

A score of 3:0 is definitely not an overwhelming score in a baseball game.

But the gap represented by this score is far greater than people imagined.

A team doesn't score any points, which in itself shows that your attack power can't break the opponent's defense. At the very least, you won't take advantage of the opponent's defense.

On the other hand, there is nothing you can do to stop yourself from losing points.

No matter how small the difference in scores between the two teams is, it also shows that the difference in strength between them is huge. When one side has no way to conquer the other side's defense, especially in this whole game, Dabei Middle School, the so-called No. 1 team in Nagano County, did not win any decent hits from Akagi Middle School. .

The results speak for themselves!

Although in terms of the individual strength of the players, most of the players of Dabei Middle School are stronger than the players of Akagi Middle School.

But as two teams, the strength of Dabei Middle School is probably not as good as Chicheng Middle School.

Akagi Middle School, which was a dark horse in the past, crushed the three kings in strength for the first time.

As a fan of Nagano Prefecture, this feeling is too fantastic.

You must know that the three kings have occupied the first or second place in Nagano Prefecture, not for a year or two, but for a full 20 years.

20 full years!

Almost two generations have grown up, how many people have witnessed the birth of the myth of the three kings.

Now the myth is busted.

And it was pierced by force.

Akagi Middle School is bound to become one of the most competitive schools in Nagano, and they are bound to break the rule of the three kings.

Dabei Middle School, which is known as the No. 1 line in Nagano County, couldn't overcome Sawamura Eijun's pitching, so what about the other two schools, Tenryuji Middle School and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School?

Although these three schools have not yet played against each other, it seems that even Tenryuji Middle School and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School will have a hard time resisting the strength of Akagi Middle School.

At the very least, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to conquer the pitcher named Sawamura Eijun!

Previously, among all pitchers in middle school and below, Nagano Prefecture's top player was Haruka Nanami, who was ranked among the 12 kings.

After all, there are more than 40 counties in the country, and within these more than 40 counties, an average of four counties can be allocated to a Tianwang quota.

In this case, taking Nanami Haruka as the pride of Nagano Prefecture, the first pitcher is no problem.

But everyone who has watched the game between Akagi Middle School and Dabei Middle School will ask themselves, is Nanami really Nagano's No. 1 pitcher?

The real first pitcher is probably someone else.

An undead strikeout, although a person hits base, does not count as an effective hit. Eijun Sawamura faced Dabei Junior High School, the No. 1 hitter in Nagano County, and the result was that he had no hits and no runs in seven innings.

Even Nanami Haruka, who was called Nagano's pride, could not do such a thing.

The real No. 1 pitcher in Nagano Prefecture is probably Sawamura Eijun!
