The various schools in the middle school are very wary of each other because of the direct competition. At this time, a team like Akagi suddenly appeared, and a pitcher like Sawamura naturally wanted to exchange ideas.
During that time, Sawamura made Sano refuse all invitations to practice competitions.
In the case of not being able to ask for it, the effect of hunger marketing actually appeared, which was unexpected.
For Akagi, this is like pie from the sky. Akagi now has no shortage of objects for practice competitions. This is too valuable for a nascent team. Before the team led by Shisawa Village, until the third grade, everyone often made some low-level mistakes. Why? It's not because they play less games and have no experience.
In this life, it seems that Sawamura doesn't need to worry about training his opponents anymore.
Sawamura's opponent was Nagata Junior High.
A famous first-round tour team with limited strengths than Akagi.
The first-round tour team, as the name suggests, is the super weak team that was eliminated in the first round of the long-term competition.
In major national-level events, what kind of teams have the most teams?
Everyone has their own criteria for judging this question. But there is one that is recognized by everyone and also exists objectively, and that is the first-round tour team.
Such teams account for nearly half of the total participating teams. In terms of pure numbers, they are definitely the most.
Nagata is such a team. They have never broken through the first round of the competition in the past ten years. No matter how much such a team loves baseball, their highest aspirations for baseball are unlikely to reach the level of Sawamura.
After being reborn, Sawamura is not only content to lead his friends to enter the national competition, but also wants to lead them to dominate the country.
Nagata Middle School's biggest ideal right now is to break through the first round of the competition and break the curse of one-round tour. Even their passionate captain is just calling on everyone to create the best record in Nagata's history...
There was one time in Nagata before, about fourteen or five years ago, when they made it to the top sixteen of Nagano Prefecture.
This ranking is indeed not bad in Tokyo. It can be placed in Nagano, there are more than 40 middle schools in total, the top 16 survived but won the second round, some lucky draws, and even one win is Nagano's top 16...
Although the strength is not strong, this can't stop the Nagata friends from loving baseball. They have a lot of members, and their training is very solid. In the one-round tour team, they are relatively good candidates for practice competitions.
So far, the practice record is 15 games, 3 wins.
This is also the reason why Sawamura chose them. Their strength is not strong, and the team is still decent.
As soon as he entered Nagata, Sawamura felt the star treatment.
Nagata's players surrounded him one by one, like the stars holding the moon.
"Can you really cast 120 kilometers? You look like you're just over 1.6 meters, right? What's your height?"
"Shaobang is there. I don't think I've heard of it before. It should be famous in Shaobang. Is it a transfer student?"
"Please give me some advice!"
This posture doesn't look like a senior to a junior, a host to a guest, it's a bit like a fan meeting an idol.
"I'm 1.66 meters!"
"I've never been at Shaobang, I've practiced by myself."
Sawamura answered Nagata's question with a smile, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "How do you want me to play in the next game like this?"
Even so, Kesawamura somewhat understands why players like Nagata are like this.
Because they love baseball, they must have done a lot of research. In order to break the curse of the "Tail of Ten Thousand Years Crane", Sawamura believes that they must have made a lot of efforts.
But even so, they are still not confident.
Baseball has been around for too long in this country. Each round of the competition represents a completely different strength. Even if they work hard and go all out, they are still confused about the future.
Can Nagata Middle School really win? Can they really win a game in an official competition?
Akagi is different!
Although Akagi has just been established, his qualifications have no advantage over Nagata. But as long as there is a leader like Sawamura, this ace pitcher. Nagata's players believed that Akagi would never sink for too long in the first round.
Whether it is the real world or the two-dimensional world, there are many examples of a good pitcher leading a team to prosper.
But such a pitcher is too rare. As long as they encounter such a pitcher, they even dare to ask for the whole country, and even Jiaziyuan...
The reason why Nagata has no confidence is because there is no ace like Sawamura in their team.
Envy, adoration, desire...
Complex emotions, intertwined, can cause such a strange phenomenon. Nagata's players surrounded Sawamura like star chasing fans. In fact, they were surrounded by Sawamura, and they were surrounded by the dream in their hearts.
"Please take care of me!"
"Please take care of me!!"
Like a star, Sawamura accepted a ten-minute interview, and then the match officially started.
In the first half of the game, Nagata took the lead.
"Whoosh!"
The throwing ball, like a laser beam, came out of Sawamura's hand and got into Yamaguchi's open glove.
"Snapped!!"
The sound from the gloves was extremely heavy, and the hearts of Nagata's players, who were heavy, sank.
The speed of the ball is so fast and the power of the ball is so heavy! !
Even if they had heard from the players of Shi Lun's Second Army before, they couldn't help but be startled when they saw it with their own eyes.
"The ball is so fast!"
"It looks like more than 120 kilometers, right? I've seen a 120-kilometer ball in the hitting field, and it doesn't seem to be as fast as him..."
"Is he really only twelve years old?"
Nagata's contestants were talking a lot, looking at Sawamura with envy and admiration in their eyes.
It's amazing, it's really amazing! But such a good pitcher, why did he go to Akagi instead of Nagata?
If we had such a pitcher, then...
The picture in the imagination is so beautiful that Nagata's little friends dare not expect too much.
"Strike, strike, strike! Strike out!!"
"strike out!"
"strike out!!"
Soaring to a ball speed of over 120, Nagata's little friend was completely powerless.
Their swing speed simply can't keep up with Sawamura's pitch, and it's not within their ability to predict the timing of the swing. As a result, they can only rely on blindness to play Sawamura's ball.
In this way, Sawamura easily got three strikeouts, making Nagata's buddies three strikes and three strikes.
Speaking of which, Nagata's strength is similar to that of Shi Lun's Second Army. At that time, Shi Lun's second army couldn't hit Sawamura's ball, so naturally the player who changed to Nagata was the same.
"Good cast!"
"Nice job!!"
The little friends, one by one, surrounded Sawamura.
They were so excited that no ball flew over, so naturally they didn't have to face baseball. It's great to be able to deal with opponents so easily and happily!
