Twice in a row, Striking Out the Monster Slugger Sano Shuzo twice in a row.
This is naturally thrilling for the audience. There is nothing more exciting than a head-to-head confrontation between an Ace and a strong Batter, with one side crushing the other.
In this duel, whether it was the Demon King who crushed the Slugger, or the Slugger who slayed the Demon King, It's a joy to see for them to see either way.
As the saying goes, watching the fun is not a big deal. The audience watching the game on the spot does not reject the dramatic result, or more like the more dramatic the result is, the happier they will be.
In this way, they also have the capital to brag with those who didn't watch the game.
For the players of Seidou High School, Sawamura's performance is undoubtedly a great boost to everyone's morale.
Their own pitchers and even the fielders have nothing to worry about. They just need to focus on the attack!
Then there is nothing to else to say, their task is to go all out to get points.
From different standpoints, the angle of looking at the problem is naturally different. For example, in the dugout of Seihou High School.
Including Coach Nishidera, everyone had a hard face.
The impact that the Demon King Sawamura Eijun brought them was devastating.
Earlier, when they were discussing tactics, Ace pitcher Akutsu came up with a plan to deal with Sawamura.
Although Akutsu didn't go much into the details, he told everyone a condition, that is if they wanted to conquer Sawamura, they had to get one hit to have someone on base.
Taking points from Sawamura's hands was already very difficult for the players of Seihou High School.
Until the end of this game, they may have a hard time finding a chance to score points.
At a time like this, Akutsu's suggestion undoubtedly gave them hope. Although the score is a bit dangling, if it is only a single hit, it may not be impossible for everyone to work together to find a way.
After all, Sawamura Pitching the Moving ball. Although the characteristics of the Moving ball are obvious, it also has an unstable side. Even by pure luck, they should have a hit or two.
I have to say that their requirements are not high, and this idea is also very good. In the eyes of the players of Seihou High School, there should be no problem in doing this.
But when they really fought, they realized that they might have thought too much.
Even their core lineup was having it extremely difficult to get a single hit from Sawamura Eijun.
This guy's pitching is unpredictable.
By now, they could vaguely understand why others nicknamed Sawamura Eijun the Demon King.
Maybe only such a guy can deserve the title of Demon Lord.
"We still have a chance, don't be discouraged."
The Coach Nishidera does not seem to have any good solutions now. Although he had a lot of information about Sawamura Eijun before, he only realized when they actually played against him that although he had a lot of information, it didn't seem to be so accurate.
Sawamura was far more difficult to deal with than he expected.
Now the game is in a stalemate. If they relax first, then they will be defeated by Seidou without waiting for Seidou to reveal their flaws.
This will not work.
The most urgent task is to stabilize the defense and not lose any more points.
Thinking about it, the Coach of Coach Nishidera glanced at his Ace with some worry.
There was nothing on Akutsu's face, he was surprisingly calm.
In the second half of the fourth inning, Seidou High School attacked.
The first batter to play is Yuuki. The audience at the scene was still very excited when they saw Yuuki come to the stage.
Now that there is no one on the base bag, there is no way that Seihou High School will Walk the batter to the base in this situation, right?
There are no runners on the base bag. If you don't dare to face the opponent's batter, then Seihou High School's reputation is just a farce.
In any case, they are also the Champions of the just-concluded spring Koshien, the champion candidate of this year's Koshien.
If they don't even have the courage to go head-to-head with the opponent, why did they have this title?
As one might expect, this time, Seihou High School didn't use the Walking approach, and they threw a tricky inside corner ball for their first Pitch.
Although the ball was clearly out of the strike zone, it seems that Seihou High School decided to be more aggressive.
"Seihou!"
"Asura!"
"Akutsu!"
"Akutsu!!"
The fans who supported Seihou High School were excited, and they enthusiastically chanted Asura Akutsu's name and the name of the team they supported.
The team that wanted to help them completely overwhelmed Seidou High School in terms of momentum.
Amidst this cheer…Akutsu threw four consecutive Balls without changing his face.
"Four Ball Walk!"
When he threw the fourth Ball, there was not a single Strike in the middle, and the sound of cheering him suddenly disappeared.
"…"
"…"
"…"
The scene suddenly became awkward.
"Pfft…"
Owada Akiko covered her mouth and let out a laugh.
"This is too embarrassing!"
'The player you support is such a big chicken?'
Owada Akiko is very interested to know the thoughts of the audience who support Seihou High School right now.
Next to her Fujio frowned.
"The Ace of Seihou High School seems a little slack."
Right now, Yuuki got a Walk. Although it was not a guaranteed Walk where the catcher stands up and steps outside the range of the batter, his four Balls were too obvious.
This is the obvious way to avoid a head-to-head matchup with a Yuuki-kun.
The Great Demon King of Seidou High School suppressed their batters, and their Ace was obviously escaping the strong Batters of Seidou High School.
If things go on like this, how will the game of Seihou High be played?
In the game of Koshien, once the momentum is taken away, it will become extremely difficult to finally turn it over.
Akutsu's choice like this may make Seihou High School fall into an unprecedented passive.
This is the real thought of Fujio. Many baseball professionals are watching the game, and they all have the same idea as Fujio.
In this game, Seihou High School may be more difficult than expected.
It's not that they don't know Akutsu's current choice, which may theoretically be the most beneficial to Seihou, and he is trying to minimize the possibility of losing points as much as possible.
It is people who compete on the field, not machines. Mechanical laws can used to explain machines, but not people.
Once the confidence to win is gone, and the momentum is completely suppressed by the opponent. it may be difficult for the former to win over the latter unless the strength gap between the two sides is vastly different.
Fujio thought about this idea quietly in his mind, and didn't say it out of his mouth. Fortunately, he didn't say it out of his mouth, otherwise, he might have been very embarrassed later.
