Growing up!

Why? Why? Why????

In Sawamura's mind, there was a question mark on his forehead. He really couldn't figure out how the other party guessed that he was throwing the ball. To know how much he floated on the floating ball, he would not even communicate with Ren.

Without a secret code, it is naturally impossible to be seen through.

"Is it a coincidence?"

Unable to think of the reason, Sawamura could only guess. It's just that Sawamura snuffed out this idea as soon as it came up. The first and second bats aimed at the ball, the third also guessed the changing ball, and the fourth blew the ball away.

There are so many coincidences in this world.

"Nagano Metropolis! Eternal King!!!!"

"Nagano, Metropolis!!!"

Just when Sawamura's heart was in a mess, the fans around Nagano Metropolis supported the cheering sound that shook the stadium.

In this game, although it seems that the two sides are evenly matched. But even their fans of Nagano Metropolis do not think that Nagano Metropolis has a chance to come back. Sawamura's pitching dominance is too strong, so strong that they, the melon eaters, can't see the slightest hope of winning.

Sawamura, who seemed to be undefeated now, was finally conquered, and they finally saw that glimmer of hope.

In the cowshed of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.

Takeshi Ryu's eyes were all placed on Sawamura.

Although his strategy just now had a lot of luck, it was always a success. Does he wonder if such a blow is enough to defeat Sawamura? It would be perfect to say that Sawamura could be knocked down.

Although Akagi's team has grown, they are still not at the same level as Nagano Metropolis without Sawamura.

"Ha~ hehe!"

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura chuckled softly.

The two lives made him more mature and know more, but they did not increase his IQ, making them the kind of genius with agility.

Thinking about it, Sawamura didn't understand what happened just now. What is the opponent guessing his pitch based on?

However, he was quite clear about what he was going to do next.

He needs to get the last out to help the team hold the game.

"I'll let them shoot out, and the defence behind them will be handed over to everyone!"

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura opened his arms and said with a smile.

Despite losing points, Sawamura's face didn't have the slightest bit of decadence on his face. It seems that Nagano Metropolis has brought them only some small tests, and defeating them is not a problem at all.

Eijun!

team leader! !

Sawamura!!!

The little friends looked at the confident Sawamura, and their hearts were inexplicably relieved, and the originally nervous emotions also relaxed.

Yes, we have Sawamura, how can we lose?

"Let them call, we will stop it."

"We are here!"

"Two outs, two outs!!!"

After encountering hardships, after the ace pitcher Sawamura was hit in a timely manner, Akagi's friends did not show the slightest despair but showed an indomitable fighting spirit.

They really grew up!

Not only their skills but also their hearts. Akagi is no longer Sawamura's one-man team, although Akagi still uses Sawamura as the core of offence and defence. Without Sawamura, their strength is not strong.

"strike!"

"strike!"

"strike!"

"strike out!!!"

Float, change-up, change-up...

Sawamura neatly used three breaking balls to solve the opponent, scored the last outs, and completed Akagi's defence in this round.

Such strikes will undoubtedly boost morale.

Nagano Metropolitan's fifth batter, who is not very good at breaking balls, is a very ideal opponent for Sawamura who temporarily sealed the straight ball.

After the first half of the fourth round, Sawamura returned to the bullpen and called Aoi Ren, Aotsuki Wakana, Sano, and Wada together to discuss countermeasures.

One person is short, and everyone is long!

Since Sawamura himself couldn't think of anything, he could only pin his hopes on others.

"Is the pitch seen through?"

Wada exclaimed in surprise.

Sano scratched his forehead and glanced at Wada in dissatisfaction.

Wada also realized that he was making a fuss, and quickly shut up.

Sano said in a low voice, "Don't you have several sets of secret codes to use in turn? Since it has been seen through, why not change to another set?"

Sawamura smiled bitterly: "It shouldn't be that simple. The ball I played against Tuhara was to trick him into playing high-flying, and there was no need to signal the angle of the flying ball. But that ball was still seen through. Coincidence, four times in a row, it's too coincidental to say it's a coincidence."

Wakana's beautiful little faces were twisted together, and she muttered with a frown, "You can see through it without a secret code. Could it be possible that they will be counted?"

After listening to her analysis, everyone knew that she was joking, and no one said anything.

Although Nagano Metropolitan's coach is very famous, he has never heard anyone say that he can tell fortunes and has the ability to predict the future. If he really had that ability, Nagano Metropolitan would not have been suppressed by Tenryuji all the time. They have already made it to the country and won the national championship.

However, Sawamura's heart moved. He had suspected that the secret code he used could not be seen through Wakana reminded him.

Fortune-telling is impossible, but guessing the ball may not be completely impossible.

Since it is a guess, there must be a basis. At least he needs to be able to tell the difference between a change ball and a straight ball...

Wakana accidentally opened a window for him, allowing Sawamura to see some light.

"You don't have to think too much about it, the other party might just have caught one or two small loopholes."

The most unprofessional here is Sano. He can't help with any idea, so he can only comfort him like this.

"What did you just say?"

A flash of light flashed in Sawamura's mind as if he had caught something.

"I didn't say anything."

"No, what I said before."

"Oh, I said that the other party may have just caught one or two small loopholes..."

Sawamura nodded with a smile on his face.

He wants to understand!

It's also shameful to say that it was none other than Sawamura himself who really led everyone into the ditch. This was also related to his previous life experience. As the little prince of the changing ball, what kind of ball path Sawamura throws has always been the focus of fans' attention.

Ten years later, countless high-definition cameras, aerial photography, and computers stared at him. Let Sawamura subconsciously have a kind of arrogant feeling that there are always people who want to harm me. Once the ball was hit in a row, he wondered if someone saw through his path.

But in fact, although Nagano Metropolitan's coaches and players are excellent, their ability to collect information is absolutely impossible to match those of professional scouts. Those scouts couldn't sum up Sawamura's ball, let alone Nagano's.

Coming out of this misunderstanding, Sawamura almost instantly understood what the loophole Nagano Metropolis really discovered was.

"Next, let's have a good time, Nagano Metropolis!"
