Under the blazing sun, a group of players in baseball uniforms were playing a fierce game on the field of Koshien.
Both sides of the game are giants, one is Seidou High School, where the king is resurrected, and the other is Seihou High School, which just won the Spring Koshien Championship.
Not to mention these two schools in their respective regions, even in the country, they are among the top Famous Schools.
Such a confrontation between giants has a natural atmosphere.
Their respective cheerleaders, brass bands, and fans, all counted.
Even the Demon King's Guard, who was preparing to do something big, was a little ashamed compared to these two cheering crowds with a luxurious lineup.
The Demon King's Guards were fine when they were in Tokyo before. It was very easy to get more people. After all, Tokyo was the base camp of the Demon King's Guards.
In contrast, there are not that many members of the Demon-King's Guards in Hyogo Prefecture.
The members who went to Koshien especially to support their favorite Demon King had to travel long distances, plus accommodation…
Unlike the Brotherhood of Red Hearts, which is dominated by relatively adults, most of the Demon-King's Guards are relatively young.
Teenagers have many benefits like being young, energetic, active…
But young people also have a common characteristic that has to be mentioned.
They are all poor, which means they have no money.
Their living expenses now depend on their parents. Some families with relatively well-off conditions were able to make do, and they came to Koshien in Hyogo Prefecture with the main force.
Nevertheless, not everyone has such a nice well-off family.
Therefore, the size of the Demon King's Guard has not been able to increase. Although there are a lot of members, those who have the time and money are the few among the few.
'We have to find a solution for this!' Miyamoto thought
At the beginning of the game, the cheering crowds of both sides started to work first. Everyone cheered the teams they supported without giving in to each other, hoping that they could crush their opponents on the field.
After the team Captain won the guessing game, Tetsuya chose to attack second.
Attacking later means defending first.
Sawamura Eijun is a big asset to the team. If Seidou High School chooses to attack, it will usually choose to attack later.
That is because they wanted to use Sawamura's pitching as a means to put pressure on the opponent.
Sawamura can immediately destroy ordinary opponents' morale, and Seidou High School could naturally take the opportunity to score points.
Even if the opponent had collected information on Sawamura before, when they saw Sawamura Eijun's pitching for the first time, they would definitely be shocked.
Sawamura's horror is not something you can tell just by looking at the information!
In fact, Sawamura did live up to the captain's expectations. As soon as the game started, the guy was on fire.
According to Sawamura's own plan, the rhythm of the game should be like this. Get a few Strikeouts first…
Let the batters of Seihou never touch his own pitching.
Then wait until the Batter at Seihou High School starts to get restless. With a Moving ball at the center, Sawamura will solve the batters of Seihou High School.
So they have to change their swing in order to hit the ball. Sawamura can rely on the solid defense behind him to get a number of Outs.
In the final period, depending on the situation, the Moving ball and tricky Breaking ball are used alternately, which should also catch the opponent off guard.
He, Chris, and Miyuki thought of this countermeasure together last night.
For Sawamura right now, this is the best routine, and it can completely lead the opponent by the nose until the end of the game.
From an objective point of view, there are no problems with this strategy.
Under Sawamura's incomparably sharp pitching, the first two batters of Seihou High School quickly were quickly solved!
It was not because these two Batters were weak or anything, it was the first time they really faced Sawamura's pitching, and they just couldn't get used to it.
'What the hell is that?'
'The ball seemed to pop out suddenly, making it hard to react. Although we have done special training before, it still has a very different feeling when watching Sawamura pitching for the first time.'
'And this is just with this weird Pitching Form, right?'
The speed of the 140 km/h ball is not much different from that of the 150 km/h ball when viewed from the striking zone under Sawamura's wonderful Pitching Form!
If it is just fast, the Batter at Seihou High School can barely overcome it.
Sawamura's pitching, although it looks extremely fast! But the real ball speed is about 140 km/h! For these strong national hits by the giants, it is not a ball that cannot be touched at all.
The key is to add sharp breaks at such a ball speed.
This is really troublesome!
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
The Maou used all his efforts, and various breaking balls appeared one after another, and he directly solved the first two batters of Seihou High School into a daze!
The scene that appeared in front of them was completely different from what they had expected before. It turned out that this was the Demon King! This is Sawamura Eijun!
The Fan of Seidou High School in the stands, as well as the Members of the Demon King's Guards and the Brotherhood of Red Heart, were also shouting for Sawamura!
They are also very exciting.
Every time they watch the Maou Sawamura Strikeout cleanly, they get excited!
Two Outs, no one on base.
The stands were like crazy, calling out the word "Demon King".
In such a situation, the third Batter of Seihou High School went to the hitting zone.
"Third Batter, pitcher, Akutsu-kun."
As Akutsu came on stage, the roar of the audience grew louder.
They were staring at the matchup on the field one by one, looking forward to the head-to-head matchup between the two giants.
Akutsu Watari vs Sawamura Eijun.
Asura vs Demon King.
Even if it has not been hyped, the audience has no way to restrain their emotions.
They are very excited.
Even if they are not real baseball professionals, they are well aware that the result of this matchup will directly determine the future trend of the game.
It may even directly determine the outcome of this 16-to-8 game.
