Gyroball

"Sawamura! Sawamura!!!"

A very magical scene broke out in the Kanagawa and Yokohama stadiums.

About 500 Nagano fans were suppressing thousands of fans and shouting wildly.

On the other hand, it's not that the Yokozuna fans don't want to fight back, it's just that they pay more attention to the shooting showdown on the court. I really don't have time to take care of these villagers from Nagano.

So savage!

Aren't they curious about the result of this showdown? This shooting duel, to a certain extent, controlled the direction of this game.

The Yokozuna fans guessed right, the brothers of the Brotherhood of Hearts, really don't worry.

They have absolute confidence in Sawamura.

Sawamura felt extremely satisfied listening to the heroic cheers of the Brotherhood of Hearts.

That's how the game should be, that's the game.

The bat in his hand was lifted high by Sawamura and then shook slightly. His position, neither forward nor backward, was just right. A pair of eyes, like a goshawk, staring at their prey.

Sawamura like this is very uncomfortable.

As a pitcher directly opposing him, Ken Uesugi feels more real.

It seems that Sawamura's every move can affect his nerves. It feels a bit like a rookie who has just entered the battlefield and encounters a veteran who has experienced many battles.

The other party doesn't have to use power beyond his own, his every move has been seen clearly.

Putting the ball in the glove, Uesugi pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his ring finger. At this time, he was surprised to find that there was actually fine sweat in his palm.

how is this possible?

The game has only just begun.

After wiping it with anti-slip powder, Uesugi finally calmed down. He understood that for a moment, he was frightened by Sawamura's forcing momentum. This feeling was often seen when he was fighting against adults when he was a child. Later, as his strength improved, it hadn't appeared for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Sawamura will now feel the tension caused by this difference in strength.

"Uncrowned Heavenly King, I think this guy is more terrifying than the Twelve Heavenly Kings."

He complained in his heart that Uesugi no longer wanted to compete with Sawamura at this time. His most important purpose now is to solve the batter Sawamura.

After calming down, Uesugi started pitching. His pitch this time was very different from previous pitches, with a much wider range of motion.

on the strike zone.

Sawamura's eyes saw Uesugi's every move very clearly.

"Have you given up fast-paced pitching and are ready for a head-to-head match?"

Ken Uesugi, one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings, has always been criticized for his lack of comprehensive strength, but he is certainly not lacking in strength if he can mix in this circle. Otherwise, just relying on his kind of fast-paced ball to fool Chicheng's little brother is fine. It's not enough to really deal with the country's tyrannical powers.

Come on!

Sawamura didn't move his legs, but he didn't exert any force. The whole body maintains a very relaxed state, patiently waiting for its prey to come to the door.

coming!

Without consuming Sawamura's patience, Ken Uesugi shot the ball.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball, like a laser light, is inserted into the inner corner.

"Good, come!"

Sawamura cried out in his heart, the bat in his hand had been waiting for a long time, and he directly faced the ball and swung it out.

Such a straight ball from an inside corner is not difficult for Sawamura to handle.

"Clang!"

The moment the bat touched the ball, Sawamura's face changed instantly, becoming extremely ugly.

Originally, Sawamura was full of confidence and thought he could hit a home run or at least a long hit, but the ball didn't fly far. Although the landing was good, the hit was good and Sawamura got on base, but it didn't help.

Two outs, a man on first and second base.

It was Nakagawa Nobu's turn to hit the line, and Ashin was struck out.

The Akagi offensive ends.

Ren's consecutive hits with Sawamura vanished like a joke.

When he returned to the cowshed, Sawamura's face was still ugly.

Ren looked at him and asked strangely, "Did you just miss?"

Sawamura nodded: "Missed!"

"What happened?"

"It's a gyroball!"

"What?"

Ren stared at Sawamura in disbelief.

Gyroball: A straight ball with the characteristics of straight ball speed and sliding ball. This kind of ball is one of the magic pitches in baseball, like the forkball, knuckleball, and screwball.

"How can a middle school student think about such a difficult breaking ball? Maybe it will be disabled?"

Oda opened his mouth and exclaimed.

Sawamura shook his head: "Unlike ordinary gyroballs, his balls are much more simple and crisper, and they should be born. His straight balls are born with fast gyros."

intrinsic!

This answer is really speechless.

Akagi's little friends are all silent, and the gap between people is sometimes so unfair.

"How can it be born?"

Nobu was indignant.

"Everyone's palms, fingers, arms, and body structure are not the same. So each pitcher throws the ball differently, and even the straight ball, thrown by different people, has different effects."

Sawamura is quite aware of this.

Not to mention anything else, the straight ball he himself threw is the best one in a million straight balls. In contrast, Uesugi's gyroball straight ball is not so surprising.

However, in this game, Akagi wanted to score, but it was several times more difficult.

Natural Gyroball, calm mental quality.

Fortunately, Uesugi's ball speed is not very fast, only less than 130. If Uesugi's ball speed is ten kilometres faster, then he is simply the big devil in middle school!

No middle school student can hit a straight ball that is approaching one hundred and four with drifting, that is, a gyroball.

The game continues!

Sawamura confronts Yokozuna's fourth batter, Otomo Senjin.

Sawamura took advantage of the previous strategy of dealing with Moriki and Yamanaka and successfully scored the fourth strikeout. Watching the pitching ball greeted him with his own eyes. In this case, the batter's mental quality is excellent if they don't run away. It is too embarrassing for them to expect them to swing the bat and play the ball well.

Then, another three strikeouts!

In this game, Sawamura scored six strikeouts in a row.

This kind of performance makes the media reporters look like they are moved, and they are very restless.

"Big news, big news!"

In the Kanto Conference, the previous record for the highest strikeout was twelve.

When the record came out, people swore that there was no such record before and no one came after.

Now, Sawamura has six strikeouts in just two innings.

There is hope, very hopeful.

In the second half of the second game, Akagi attacked.

The same is the end of three ups and downs.

The two sides played three rounds in this way, and the score was still 0:0.

"The battle of the kings of the evenly matched!"

In this regard, the media explained, almost in unison shouted this slogan.

But no one's eyes are blind, even if the situation is evenly matched, but in terms of strength, the uncrowned king Sawamura must be one level higher than Uesugi, one of the six kings, right?
