Two Outs left.
"Demon King!"
"Demon King!!!"
The supporters of Seidou High School and Sawamura's own fan club couldn't wait for the game to end.
They were in the stands, cheering wildly, calling Sawamura's nickname.
More than a dozen media at the scene gave broadcasting to these audiences.
The commentators in front of the TV, and even in front of the online media, were flipping throw their word pool, and they gave all the words that could be used to compliment Sawamura.
The Champion in the middle school years, after entering high school, in the summer of the first year, as an Ace, he led the team to Koshien.
Even if it is to make up a story for a manga protagonist, few writers have the courage to write this.
Otherwise, others must admonish it as a brainless overpowered protagonist.
But reality is often more dramatic than fiction.
A true legend, right in front of them.
It is conceivable that after this game, the Demon King's Guard and the Brotherhood of Red Heart will inevitably usher in a new wave of development.
Sawamura Eijun glanced at the corner of his eyes, Narumiya in the rest area of Inashiro.
Although Sawamura felt that he was very sorry for his friend, there was no way. When Sawamura Eijun was determined to join Seidou High School, one of the important reasons was to bring the seniors of the third grade to Koshien.
Now the situation is on their side, and Sawamura's Chris-shisho has also returned from injury.
For them, Sawamura had no choice but to silently say to Narumiya in his mind, 'I'm sorry!'
"First Batter, Center, Kamiya-kun."
Right now, Carlos stepped into the strike zone.
Sawamura took his eyes away from Narumiya and placed them on Carlos on the strike zone.
The stance of the guy ready to swing looks very casual.
There are still two Outs in the game when Inajitsu is about to be eliminated. Carlos was still able to put on a carefree attitude.
'Really admirable!' Sawamura thought.
'But it is exactly because of this that we have to be careful of him.'
On this point, Miyuki also has the same opinion.
'Watch out for him stealing bases!'
He gave the first and third baseman instructions.
Miyuki then gave Sawamura a sign.
'For the first ball, use the Cutter ball in the inside corner.'
Cutter's ball at the edge of the inside corner, when it breaks, it is a Ball. If it is hit as a Straight ball, the most likely result is a Foul.
In the final stage of the game, Miyuki changed his previous style, and the Game calling gradually became stable.
'This guy is sure to do great things!'
Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, after seeing the sign that Miyuki gave him, judged with great certainty.
In the middle of the game, you can naturally think of various ways to suppress the opponent.
There can even be some risky practices, just to achieve greater results.
But in the latter part of the game, when you have an absolute advantage, you must adjust it in time.
Stability is a very important indicator for a catcher.
Miyuki not only has a genius mind but also can win the number of Outs stably at critical moments.
Whoosh!
The baseball in Sawamura's hand was thrown like laser light.
In the strike zone, Carlos couldn't help but recall what his Coach told him.
"With Miyuki and Sawamura, if you want to wait and see, you're doing it wrong. The more pitches they show, the easier it is for batters to fall for their trap."
"Then what to do?"
"Simple, target a ball to hit from the first ball."
"What ball?"
"A Straight ball to the inside corner, or a Cutter's ball."
"Why?"
"No reason, just a feeling."
In the end, the Kunitomo Coach did not tell Carlos how he guessed.
But since the Coach said so, out of trust in his own Coach, Carlos aimed at the first ball.
Ping!
After the white ball was hit, it flew far into the field.
"Left Fielder!"
Sawamura on the pitcher's mound hurriedly called the outfielder to guard.
In the previous fielding in the second half of the eighth inning, Sakai replaced Chris and now serves as the left fielder of Seidou High School.
Seeing the baseball flying to the left field, Sakai hurried over without stopping.
The distance is still a little bit far, so he rushes over.
Originally, he only thought that with his defensive skills, he should be able to catch the ball.
But at that moment, the accident happened.
no one knows what happened, but the baseball suddenly started falling down earlier than before.
Sakai, who was diving to catch the ball, naturally, it is impossible to catch the ball like that.
He could only change his posture and use his body to stop the baseball after the first fall.
The baseball fell to the ground and bounced back, and Sakai's upper body directly stopped it.
But when the baseball hits the ground, it hits the ground.
With the speed of Carlos, of course, he would not miss such an opportunity, and he ran directly to second base in one breath.
"SAFE!"
One Out, runner at second base.
A scoring opportunity!
On the mound, Sawamura frowned and glanced at Carlos.
The feeling just now made Sawamura Eijun extremely strange.
"He guessed it right from the start!"
Sawamura looked at Carlos on the second base, in surprise.
There is no doubt that Carlos was aiming for his straight, or Cutter to swing at.
Even Sawamura doubted that the ball was in the inner corner, and he guessed it.
Otherwise, it should be difficult for Carlos to hit Sawamura's ball so easily.
Sawamura first, looked at Carlos for a long time.
Then his gaze returned to the rest area of Inajitsu.
'Who exactly guessed the swing for Carlos just now?'
'Was it Carlos himself, or was it someone in the rest area of Inajitsu?'
The development of the situation is beyond his imagination. Judging from his experience of before his return to the past, there is a great chance of things going wrong in this inning.
In the rest area of Inajitsu, Kunitomo stared at Sawamura with piercing eyes.
"The opportunity is here!"
"Second Batter, shortstop, Shirakawa-kun."
One Out, runner at second base!
It was Shirakawa's turn at bat.
The audience in the stands of Jingu Stadium seemed to feel it. The atmosphere was different, and they fell silent one by one.
If there is a soundtrack, right now, there should be a piece of exciting background music.
"It's really some worrisome guys."
Inajitsu, as the current overlord of West Tokyo, will definitely not lose kneeling.
Sawamura had expected this.
It's just that he never thought that Inajitsu would have the guts to gamble right now.
But at the same time, the memory started appearing in his mind.
-Standing in the dugout looking at his Senpai's slumped down and crying in defeat, while the players of Inajitsu were celebrating in happiness.-
-The shock, the blankness in the mind, the feeling of powerlessness in the body, and Chris-senpai telling him that the game has ended and it is time to stand in line for the final greeting-
'No, Not this time!'
'The opponent's Coach may have guessed our previous ball-matching routine, so let's change the method.'
The Batter of Inajitsu is still very good. If you really let them guess Sawamura's pitch, it's really possible to hit the ball.
Miyuki also thought of Sawamura's suggestion.
Before, it was obvious that Carlos aimed at Sawamura's inner corner ball.
'In this way, if you want to use flexible Game calling to win the game, it will be more risky.'
Miyuki Kazuya also reluctantly came up with a new countermeasure.
Since the members of Inajitsu can guess his calling, why can't he do the opposite?
'Next ball, Throw this ball here!'
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura had the urge to laugh when he saw Miyuki's sign to him.
'Sure enough, you really have a bad personality!'
