America is the land of dreams!
Sawamura has heard these words the most since he entered the Major League.
For himself, of course, this is also a very good inspirational saying.
After all, he came all the way to the United States to pursue his dreams.
In the first year of entering the Major League, Sawamura is also in high spirits. He just graduated from high school, he was still full of passion, and he gave it his all.
Using the skills he learned in high school, his repository of bizarre Breaking balls, plus a ball speed of early 140 km/h..
Sawamura, in his first year in the Major League, gained a good record and even became famous.
In the media at that time, some even called him a legend in the making.
Everyone said that he has the potential to become a legend. From a purely statistical point of view, until now, Sawamura Eijun's record is not worse than those legendary players are.
"You will definitely be a legend, and of course famous!"
Said a professional agent was responsible for him in the first year.
The agent is famous in the circle of agents. He personally told Sawamura that as long as Sawamura worked hard, he would definitely become famous and become a legend.
Sawamura himself was full of hope, his skills were working and he was seeing and fighting amazing players and pitchers every day!
His hard work was paying off!
Like this, as long as he keeps working hard step by step, he will achieve everything he wants.
Records! Achievements! Money! Fame!
Everything will come.
It was also at that time that he followed the advice of his agent and took advertisements everywhere.
He made a lot of money back then.
His wealth increased rapidly and his assed manager was flying in happiness and drowning in stress at the same time!
Money is really a good thing in the States. As long as you have enough money in your hand, there is almost nothing you can't do.
Sawamura, who is full of spirit, has been obsessed with it for a while.
Finally, in his second year in the major leagues, the super genius Sawamura Eijun entered the darkest time of his life!
His original pitching, which was doing amazingly, suddenly stopped working.
It seems that all the batters are able to make contact with his Breaking ball with precision and hit his ball out.
At that time, Sawamura knew why people said that the batters in the big league were all monsters.
Tough!
Very powerful!
For the batters in the major leagues, as long as they can represent the team in the game, for them, no ball in the strike zone can't be hit. As long as they can aim at a ball, they can hit the ball.
And Sawamura was losing hits like rain…
All of a sudden, Sawamura fell from the altar the promising rookie to be barely able to get a chance to play, and began his nearly two-year slump.
During those two years of confusion, Sawamura himself did not know, how did he come here?
It was a miracle that He didn't quit the team, he kept training and training, everything he could do to get more chances, during that time he started to work on his batting which was improving, and that gave him a bit of a chance!
The Major League was a harsh place, unlike high school where you can meet people who can give you a chance to stand up again and help you all the way.
And it was at that time that he got the news about Furuya.
Facing the pressure of professional baseball, with no one to rein him in, the young man burned himself and basically became a crippled pitcher.
He kept pitching and pitching, even when his Coach and catcher told him to stop.
He burned his shoulder, elbow, and wrist. And if that wasn't enough he got a heel injury that made him almost unable to walk properly.
Furuya had a self-destructive tendency from early on, plus he had amazing talents and extremely high goals.
This saddened Sawamura, extremely so, to see his friend and rival become like this. What is even scarier was that he wasn't that far off from being the same.
Moreover, it was only after a chance and a breakthrough in his training that his situation stabilized a bit.
It was at that time he truly learned what it meant to have a mentor figure around you.
Coach Kataoka!
Chris-shisho!
Miyuki-senpai!
For the rest of his life, Sawamura is extremely grateful to these people.
When he really regained his state, he returned to Seidou again and had a long talk with Kataoka.
Can you imagine how depressed Sawamura was at that time?
The always strict Coach Kataoka, patiently listened to Sawamura's ramble for more than an hour.
Then he stared at Sawamura and said, "If you feel like you had enough of the Major League, remember there is always a place for you here."
In an instant, the unending stress in Sawamura's mind crumpled.
Sawamura was moved to tears, and he cried in front of Coach Kataoka without speaking, Kataoka patted Sawamura's shoulder reassuringly.
After graduating from high school and going straight to the big leagues, Sawamura Eijun never regret it.
This path was chosen by himself, and if any result occurred, he would naturally have to bear it himself.
Since he is not willing to go back to be a coach, he must find a place for him as a Major League player.
During that time, in America, Chris stayed with him.
Being able to know such a Shisho makes Sawamura extremely grateful.
Although Chris didn't teach him anything during that time, it was this kind of company that gave Sawamura the motivation and courage to keep going.
It was then that Narumiya Mei came to the big league.
At that time, he and Sawamura happened to stay in the same city.
Sawamura was stunned when he received a call from Narumiya.
They knew each other by name in high school, and although Sawamura respected the guy, but his relationship with Narumiya Mei wasn't good enough to accommodate him.
Without giving Eijun any time to think about it, Narumiya arrived.
"Anyway, I'm here for the first time, so please take care of your Senpai."
The words were very polite, but after entering Sawamura's house, Narumiya Mei wasn't polite at all.
He directly entered, put down his luggage, opened the refrigerator, took out Sawamura's favorite snacks, and then swaggered on the sofa and turned on the TV.
"Fortunately, I made up for a bit of English before, otherwise I really couldn't understand what they were saying."
Narumiya watched the American drama with relish.
Sawamura looked at him dumbfounded.
After half the episode, Narumiya finally remembered that Sawamura was the owner of the house here.
"You are the owner of the house, why are you standing, sit down!"
Hearing Narumiya's words, Sawamura actually doubted, whether this was his own home.
Why does it feel like he has come to Narumiya's house as a guest?
In this way, Narumiya became a tenant of Sawamura.
And like this the two actually became friends.
They are all simple people!
They can talk to each other frankly, although they bicker and take advantage of each other, but when it comes to serious matters, both of them are extremely serious.
The similar personalities make the two get along very well.
After getting acquainted later, Sawamura asked Narumiya.
"How did you get my number?"
After becoming famous, Sawamura changed his mobile phone number, and there were three mobile phone numbers in total.
The first is for his contact with his family and relatives.
In addition to relatives and family members, there are only Wakana and a few friends.
He used the second one for his fellow players and former team members from Seidou.
The third is the phone number of his agent and his other business.
It wouldn't be surprising if Narumiya called him on the second one. It was not difficult to find out his contact information.
But Narumiya called the number he used to contact his relatives.
This is weird!
This number is a top-secret, and Eijun always carries it with him. It is impossible for a passerby to have it to have it, and even among the Players of Seidou High School, there are very few people.
"That number was given to me by Kazuya."
Narumiya Mei replied lightly.
Kazuya! Miyuki Kazuya!
Sawamura is of course familiar with this name, after all, he has been a partner for more than a year.
It is not surprising that he has his own private number.
"I didn't expect your relationship to still be so close?"
"Oh, we contacted each other frequently!" Narumiya Mei said.
Sawamura looked at him strangely, with a bit of disbelief in his eyes.
It is his fault that he was a crazy baseball guy who didn't usually keep in touch with his friends.
Including Wakana, it was difficult for this childhood friend to receive text messages or phone calls from Sawamura.
There are only a few people who maintained contact with Sawamura.
Among them, there is Miyuki Kazuya!
They are in constant contact, talk to or text each other, and know what's going on with each other.
But Sawamura had never heard Miyuki mention that he and Narumiya actually had contact!
