Chapter 27: Treatment of the protagonist(2/3)
The hitter of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team swung the baton, and the white baseball was knocked out and fell into the garrison space.
"Bang!"
The moment the baseball landed and was about to rebound, Miyuki's heart was cold.
If this ball bounces out, it will be too unbeautiful for them.
Not only will the points be lost, the situation will gradually turn to the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.
Fortunately, someone stepped forward at the critical moment and rushed to the ground with a thunderous baseball.
But baseball has rebounded, and even if he loses his money at this time, losses will be inevitable.
The runner at third base started early, and before the baseball could pass, he had already returned to home base.
"Ao!!!"
The Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team returned to the eighth batsman on home plate and made a howling sound.
Although at this time, the first batter who assisted him has been eliminated.
The Seidou High School baseball team reacted very quickly and could not stop him, but also stopped the hitter.
One person is out, and there are people at the second base.
The Seidou High School friend who successfully won the first number of outs can't laugh at all.
Although Supervisor Kataoka did not tell everyone directly, these friends from the Seidou High School baseball team still knew it in their hearts.
The reason why their supervisors did this was to give Tamba Koichiro the opportunity to perform so that he, a third-year pitcher, could prove himself on the court.
On the other hand, I don’t want to continue this bad situation to the next pitcher.
After all, if the pitcher has problems at the beginning, how can he play the subsequent game?
It is precisely because of this that my friends didn't say anything.
But judging from the current situation, Kōichiro Tanha is probably really not able to do it.
Although he made good shots in the previous few games with the cooperation of his friends.
Successfully suppressed the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team's playing line and did not give them much chance to breathe.
The current score between the two sides is 6:3.
Of course, there is no doubt about the contribution of the line-breaking here. This also verifies their reputation as the number one in the country, and it is not a false reputation.
But on the other hand, the credit for the pitching of Kōichiro Tanha cannot be ignored.
But now, his pitches have been hit continuously.
Not only are there problems with the ball possession, but the power of his own ball is also far from when the game started.
Even if he doesn't shoot a hundred goals now.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that with his current state, it is no longer realistic to deal with players from the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.
If you insist on letting him commit, the consequences will only be worse...
Even if the risk is very high, you must change people at this time.
Supervisor Kataoka is also a very decisive person. When he realized this, he basically applied for a replacement without any hesitation.
Seidou High School Baseball Team, requesting a replacement pitcher.
This made Osaka Kiryo, who was already familiar with Tanba's pitching, feel powerless.
That feeling was like a punch hitting cotton.
How frustrated you should be, how frustrated you should be.
The sudden substitution decision of the Seidou High School baseball team greatly affected the tactics they had discussed before.
In this case, can they still get as many scores as they expected? They suddenly become unknowns.
The contestants were disappointed.
At the critical moment, their supervisor, Takahiro Matsumoto, stood up.
"Don't look listless. You are the main players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team. Are you afraid of a first-year newcomer?"
The pitcher who just replaced the Seidou High School baseball team is a first-year freshman named Eijun Sawamura.
Not only did he perform very well in the Tokyo Regional Competition, but his performance was remarkable even in the last match against Zhongjing, Dazhong, and Kyoto.
With a sophomore pitcher, the team encountered such a crisis, and did not replace the sophomore pitcher on the court, nor did they make their real ace appear.
Instead, a first-year freshman pitcher came on the court.
It is not difficult to see from this that the supervisors and players of the Seidou High School baseball team are looking forward to this first-year freshman pitcher?
Even the fans in the stands seemed very excited at this time and worked very hard when they came on.
"It's like the protagonist in the comic..."
The first-year player made a pitch in the field of Jiaziyuan and in the collision between two top national giants.
It’s not in garbage time, but the critical moment when both sides decide the outcome.
Eijun Sawamura received the protagonist-level treatment
Cheng Gongming in the original work received only this when he first participated in Jiaziyuan.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Seidou High School baseball team has obviously regarded this player called Eijun Sawamura as the team's future ace!
It is very likely that by autumn, he will be wearing the ace back or become the actual ace.
Such a player's appearance will naturally attract attention, and it is expected that the fans in the stands will be so excited.
But according to Supervisor Matsumoto, this may not be necessarily the case, it is all good.
Of course it is good to be valued and get ace-level treatment...
Especially a first-year freshman, if he performs well on the pitch this time, he may even make a splash.
The stage of Jiaziyuan is another important game.
Any outstanding figure will never be forgotten.
Thinking of this, from the perspective of the contestants, it is really a very thrilling scene.
But because of this, the first-year freshman pitcher who has just made the court will have to bear tremendous pressure that others can't imagine.
Can he bring out all his abilities?
The answer is no.
Tens of thousands of fans at the scene were another critical moment...
Even the friends of Seidou High School baseball team think that there is no problem with Eijun Sawamura's big heart.
But in fact, he was just a fifteen-year-old boy after all, and the scene was really too big.
Even if he swears before going on stage, he promises that he will not have any problems.
When he really started pitching, he was still nervous. He didn't score two consecutive goals at the beginning.
"Bad ball!"
"Bad ball!!"
When these two bad balls appeared, everyone's faces were so ugly that they were terrible in the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team.
They lost the bet!
Even Eijun Sawamura's previous performance proves that he has a super big heart.
But when I really arrived at the stage of Jiaziyuan, there were tens of thousands of fans on the scene and millions or even tens of millions of fans in front of the TV.
In front of countless cameras...
The opponent is another team like the Osaka Kiryu High School Baseball Team.
The most different thing from the last game is that the base bags had been cleared by that time, and the Seidou High School baseball team had an overwhelming advantage.
In that game, as long as Sawamura did not make a big mistake and did not directly collapse or something, there would be no problem.
However, in today's game, although Seido High School baseball team was ahead of their opponents, they did not have as much advantage as in the previous game.
Moreover, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team did not give up hope...
The attack in the fifth game has not ended yet, which means there is still a chance to counterattack in the whole five games.
How could the three-point gap make these prides of the universe give up?
They were ambitious to fight back.
These pressures were not available in the last game.
When all this pressure gathers on Sawamura, this first-year freshman pitcher, a pitcher who tells himself not to be nervous.
There was still something inevitably wrong.
He used too much force, and the baseball he threw completely lost its previous characteristics.
To be continued...
