Sawamura Eijun and Mima Soichiro!
Even if they haven't seen the performance of the two in this game before, the audience is quite looking forward to their duel. Unlike Miyuki, who only started to become famous in high school, Mima and Sawamura were already national star players as early as middle school.
One is sought after as one of the twelve best talents of the next era, and the other is the super devil who overwhelms his own era.
The direct battle between the two is very exciting for die-hard fans.
Seriously, there are a lot of things to say here.
Everyone is a baseball player, and there must be a ranking among the players of the entire next era. Although any magazines and media have not publicly advocated it. But as a fan, they also have a selection criteria.
For example, when it comes to the number one basketball player in China, 99% of people will blurt out one name.
Yao Ming! (T/N: Yao Ming is a very very famous basketball player in China. He played in the NBA from 2002 and retired in 2011)
But realistically speaking, no magazine or media has selected this. There won't be a single match where Yao Ming will go head to head with all the other players…
But when asked about the best player, everyone will choose him.
Some people may say that Yao Ming is too special, obviously way taller than others! But even without him, there would still be a Best Player. He may not be as well-known, but there always be one.
Among these baseball players of Sawamura's generation, there is also the so-called Best Player ranking.
Of course, because everyone's position is different, there is no credibility to speak about this debate. For example, if you are the infielder, I am the pitcher, and he is the catcher, how do you decide which one of the three of us is the best?
Why did Baseball Boys choose 12 of the top players in the country and call them the Top 12 Talents?
It is because there is no way for everyone to make a final comparison.
All this changed after Sawamura appeared. The most powerful pitchers in the Twelve Top Talents were once publicized by their fans as the number one in the country.
But since Sawamura appeared, no one dared to say that his idol was the No. 1 pitcher in the country. Sawamura, like Yao Ming, transcended his own position.
If someone wants to ask the fans who is the Best Player of the next era?
80% of people will say that it is Sawamura!
Relying on his own skills, with Akagi, he soared into the sky. No one dares to say whether this miracle created by Sawamura himself is unachievable, but it is definitely unprecedented.
Of course, because Sawamura plays softball, there are also a very small number of fans who firmly believe that although Sawamura has skills, he is not necessarily the first player in the country in the next era.
The evidence they put forward is that in the 12 Talents, six people are already ahead in the hardball league.
For example, Narumiya Mei, and another example, Mima Soichiro …
Therefore, this is why this showdown is so anticipated.
The strong confronted each other, and the audience stopped talking because they watched too seriously, and even breathed a little lighter.
More than 10,000 fans in the audience fell into a strange silence for a few seconds.
Thousands of people at the scene, silent~
A camera just happened to capture this extremely strange scene, and it was memed so much after this.
On the field, Miyuki and Sawamura also thought that Mima wanted to face off at this time.
Heart to heart put them on the stand of Hakuryu High School. Right now, it is also a good choice to fight hard. If the pitcher can be defeated head-on, the originally slim chance of Hakuryu High School will suddenly expand countless times.
'Go all out and get rid of him.'
Miyuki and Sawamura, after deliberating, threw the first ball.
In a head-to-head confrontation, Sawamura and Miyuki are really not afraid.
Their brains were in sync at this moment, and almost simultaneously came up with a strategy to get rid of Mima.
With a complete plan, the rest just follow the plan.
Whoosh!
Sawamura pitched the ball, and Mima in the strike zone also took action.
He suddenly held his bat short and knocked out the flying white ball.
Ping!
When the baseball was hit, Mima threw away the bat and ran to first base.
By the time Masuko ran forward, Mima was already safely on base.
"Safe!"
"Oi, what the hell!"
"Oh, come on!"
"Not again!"
Right now, the mood of the audience is very depressed. The Players of Seidou High School had played such a hand before. They all thought that Sawamura would face off with the battery of Hakuryu. Unexpectedly, Seidou took the path of a coordinated attack.
The same is true now, everyone was looking forward to the head-to-head match between Mima Soichiro and Sawamura Eijun, but they didn't expect that he would steal the base in the end.
It can't be said that their tactics are not good, but it just feels really plain and a bit anticlimactic.
No Outs, runner at first base.
Miyuki on the catcher position and Sawamura on the pitcher mound both had strange expressions on their faces.
They really didn't expect that they were tricked together by Mima Soichiro just now.
They originally thought that Mima would definitely face them off, but they didn't expect him to steal the base directly.
Miyuki stretched out his hand to apologize, it was his responsibility. After all, it was his job to observe the batter, and he was deceived by Mima.
On the pitcher mound, Sawamura waved his hand and pointed to himself.
Telling Miyuki not to mind, he is also responsible. Now is not the time to take on all the responsibilities, the most important thing is to prevent Mima from returning to home plate.
Honestly, it's not easy to do this. Since Mima gave up the head-to-head confrontation with Sawamura, it means that he has a lot of confidence to run back to home plate. Otherwise, he would never do it.
In the rest area of Seidou High School.
Kataoka said solemnly: "The other side, just like us, is only thinking about winning. Any team that really wants to win should not be underestimated. They will do their best to get all the points they can."
Hearing Kataoka's self-talk, Chris didn't understand, and when he turned his head, he saw Tanpa's face focused on the mound.
'I see!'
'Tanpa, you have to work hard!'
According to the current situation, the Ace number of Seidou High School might really change hands.
Chris knew Kataoka's concerns.
There are great hidden dangers in handing over the back number of No. 1 to a freshman in the first year.
First of all, the first one is the meaning of this in the mind of the third grade. After all, they have been with the original Ace for more than two years. Suddenly, the position of the No. 1 Ace is entrusted to the freshman. Can the third-year players trust him? Can it be accepted? This is the problem.
The second is that the freshmen are suddenly faced with such great pressure, can they bear it?
You must know that high school baseball and middle school baseball are two worlds in completely different dimensions! If this is a careless one, it might ruin the first-year freshman.
Of course, in Sawamura, the second problem does not exist, and the only problem is the first.
