The second fight between the Demon King and the Monster Slugger.
Is there anything more exciting than this in this game?
No, absolutely not.
Although Akutsu suppressed Seidou's line, he was also very cool. But compared to Sawamura, Akutsu's presence and dominance on the mound is far less.
Of course, the really good professionals will know, it's just because the two have different styles. Sawamura's characteristics and its own charm are more popular with the public. But this does not mean that Sawamura is a few grades stronger than Akutsu.
But these audiences do not know.
In their eyes, Sawamura is simply one of the greatest pitchers of this generation.
A super genius!
Similarly, Sano Shuzo is also the strongest Batter in his generation. (Sano's fame is bigger than that of Yuuki and several batters of their level!)
The strongest pitcher meets the strongest Batter head-to-head, and just thinking about it makes one shudder with excitement.
"Sawamura!!"
"Sano!!"
The supporters of the two teams kept roaring in the stands, cheering for those they supported.
Even a little bit, they want to convey their power to the players on the field.
on the strike zone.
Sano Shuzo's eyes were like a hungry beast, and Sawamura on the pitcher's mound was his prey.
"How horrible!"
The huge pressure was on Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, causing the sweat pores on his body to explode involuntarily.
The opponent is strong!
Not to mention the opponents Sawamura encountered after his regression, including those he met before his regression, Sano's strength is outstanding.
Sawamura could even clearly hear the beating of his own heart.
Badum! Badum!
Particularly loud.
His mouth unconsciously had a little smile, and in the count of two Outs, he faced an opponent like Sano head-on.
It really excited him.
In the catcher position, Chris has not yet decided whether to Strike out or Shut out Sano.
Sano's grip on the bat was changed to a long grip. It seems that he wants to use his tyrannical strength to forcibly sweep the ball far.
As a result, pitches with small breaks are a big no.
The breaks in the ball must be sharp enough to catch opponents off guard.
After going through all the Pitches Sawamura could throw in his mind, Chris's eyes flashed a little.
He already has a strategy.
The first ball: Forkball!
Seeing the sign given to him by Chris-shisho, Sawamura was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help but bring a smile to his face.
This is to go all out!
The first time he played against Sano Shuzo, although Sawamura successfully Struck Out Sano Shuzo, he did not try his best.
This time, according to Chris's instructions, he wanted him to do his best to crush Sano Shuzo with his strength.
Chris's Game calling is so bold when facing the candidate for the top batter in high school.
Even Sawamura on the pitcher's mound couldn't help but be surprised.
'When did Chris-shisho become like Miyuki-senpai who likes to gamble?'
Nevertheless, he has to admit that he was very excited by such a game calling from Chris. Just thinking about crushing Sano Shuzo head-on made Sawamura feel excited.
'Come on then!'
Whoosh!
The small white ball flew forward like a laser beam.
Faced with the white ball that suddenly reached the top of the plate, Sano Shuzo did not hesitate, aiming at the flying ball and swinging the bat decisively.
He has given up on hitting the center of Sawamura's ball accurately!
He will use a strong swing to sweep the ball away. It is not necessary to hit the center of the ball, as long as the ball can be swept, it will definitely fly far away.
Sometimes in the head-to-head duel in sports competition, power is everything.
This is what Sano Shuzo plans to do now. His skills are not as high as Sawamura's, so he might as well give up using his skills and simply use his strength to fight against Sawamura.
For Sano Shuzo is still very confident in his own strength.
It's just that the baseball by his hand suddenly slid to the outer corner.
'Eh?'
With a move in his heart, the bat in Shuzo Sano's hand also followed suit.
Even if you want to extend the bat, hit the ball and sweep it out!
It was just the white ball that they never touched. Just as the bat approached the ball, the white ball suddenly sank.
The ball sank and sank until it was almost close to the ground leaving the bat way behind it and Sano who was swinging awkwardly.
SNAP!
"STRIKE!"
After the white ball avoided the bat, avoided the batter, and almost avoided the zone, until it landed in Chris's open Mitt that was close to the ground.
Sawamura takes the lead!
On the strike zone, Sano Shuzo looked stunned.
When he saw such a break, the ball looked like it was far far away.
It's not that he didn't know that Sawamura could break like that, but he always thought that a ball with such a large break must have some restrictions on the Pitching Form, but when Sawamura pitched the ball just now, it was no different from his ordinary Straight ball.
'You don't see any difference at all from the action.'
Sano Shuzo's heart clenched subconsciously.
He suddenly realized that it might not be as easy as he thought if he wanted to get a hit directly.
Sawamura isn't just throwing, the kind of break that seems too sudden and huge, so that the Batter can't hit the center of the ball.
At the same time, he also throws wildly variable pitches.
"Whew!"
With a long sigh, Shuzo Sano set his sights on Sawamura on the pitcher's mound again.
At this moment, he has regarded Sawamura Eijun as an opponent of the same level as him, not a first-year junior.
Whoosh!
Without any pause, Sawamura started throwing the ball the second he received a return pass from Chris.
Exactly the same stride, the same form.
'No, there are still differences.'
Sawamura Eijun's foot was close to first base after making the stride.
As if between lightning and flint, something flashed in Sano Shuzo's brain. I'm about to be chased, I don't have time for this.
The white ball thrown came to the plate in the blink of an eye.
Sano Shuzo can wait for the ball to be at hand before swinging.
He also didn't have time to continue to follow the thoughts in his mind right now, facing the coming sweet ball, he swung the bat decisively.
The bat swings and the white ball flies by it!
The two flew over the plate, and in the end neither was able to touch the other.
SNAP!
"STRIKE!"
Just two Strikes.
Only right now did Sano's brain react.
It turned out that this was the ball that Sawamura Eijun had, the one that would make the batter feel visually disrupted.
"This guy!"
Sano Shuzo, who had just elevated Sawamura to an equal position with himself in his mind, looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, and immediately felt that Sawamura had become a totally different creature!
Whoosh!
SNAP!
"STRIKE!! BATTER OUT!!!"
