Chapter 95: Caught off Guard!

Hoshiryu High School is still discussing the tactics of fighting against Seidou.

On the other hand, in the dormitory of Seidou High School, the players have already discussed the lineup and countermeasures.

Next, Coach Kataoka began to announce the starting list.

"Tomorrow's starting pitcher is Tanpa. If there is no accident, after five innings, Furuya will take the mound, and Kawakami will start preparing from the eighth inning."

After talking about tomorrow's pitcher, Coach Kataoka turned his head and gave Sawamura a serious look.

"Be ready at all times, and if the situation calls for it, I'll put you on the mound right away."

"Yes!"

After talking to Sawamura, Kataoka turned around and looked around between Chris and Miyuki, and finally, his eyes stayed on Chris.

"Tomorrow's starting catcher is Chris."

***

Time goes by.

Almost in the blink of an eye, one day passed, and on the second day, the game of Seidou High School against Hoshiryu High School officially began.

In the stands of the Koshien Stadium, the audience was crowded, leaving no empty seats.

Speaking of which, this is not surprising at all. In the previous interview, Seidou High School was completely popular. Whether it is their five star players or the return of the King.

Such news not only attracts reporters, but even ordinary audiences want to witness with their own eyes, what kind of ability does this team that has been praised by the media have?

Of course, not everyone was so excited.

The members of the Demon-King's Guard are fine, but in today's game, the members of the Brotherhood of Red Heart were very silent.

They stared intently at the stadium, waiting for the players of the two teams to play against each other, without any intention of cheering on Sawamura Eijun.

It may be strange for ordinary people to see it, but people who really know the inside story can understand what is going on just by looking at it.

In any case, the opponent in today's Seidou High School competition is from Nagano Prefecture.

The members of the Brotherhood of Red Heart, although in their hearts, they want to cheer for Sawamura Eijun, but in the face of the talents and elites of their hometown, they can't say anything about cheering.

So in today's game, under the leadership of Obayashi and Kobayashi, The members of the Brotherhood of the Heart can only choose to sit on the sidelines and watch.

Right now, under the attention of all the people, the game between the two teams also kicked off.

"Let's go!"

"Yoshaaa!!!"

With the same roar, all the players of the two teams rushed together.

They stood in two rows, facing each other and their eyes were full of challenge.

"We meet again, Sawamura-kun."

Nanami Haruka smiled brightly as if he was very happy to face Sawamura Eijun here.

"What a nice coincidence."

Sawamura is also full of smiles, and from the expression on his face, you can't tell his true emotions.

When the captain played paper-rock-scissors to decide whether to attack first or attack later, It's a pity that Captain Yuuki lost in paper-rock-scissors.

Hoshiryu High School chose to attack first!

It seems that this was also decided after they looked at the starting roster of Seidou High School.

To be honest, Hoshiryu was also surprised!

It's not that Hoshiryu has high self-esteem. In terms of strength alone, Hoshiryu High School's strength is definitely not weak.

The teams that can make it to the quarterfinals are all strong and the very best of the best.

Judging from their own previous research, it is indeed difficult for them to beat the all-out Seidou High School.

But if Sawamura Eijun doesn't get on the pitching mound, the victory or defeat between the two sides will not be as set in stone as they previously expected.

Don't they have a chance like this?

certainly.

People from Hoshiryu High School also know a little. If the situation at Seidou High School turns out to be quite unfavorable, then Sawamura Eijun, who is now honestly staying at the outfielder position, will definitely be transferred to the pitching mound position immediately.

In the dugout of ​​Hoshiryu High School, the corners of Hosho Ryuki's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Yesterday, they had already developed a strategy against the Maou Sawamura Eijun.

I have to say that everyone has a lot of good ideas under brainstorming.

Regardless of the probability of victory or defeat, they just want a way to win Sawamura Eijun.

Before you know it, everyone's thinking has completely changed.

Of course, can these strange tricks they think of in dealing with the Maou Sawamura Eijun really work? If it works, how much can it work? All this is still unknown.

Before the game, Hosho Ryuki was looking forward to it and was anxious at the same time.

His mentality is very conflicted.

Just as he was contemplating, a huge and delicious pie fell from the sky.

In this game, even Hosho Ryuki came up with a strategy against Sawamura. But in all fairness, with his understanding of Sawamura Eijun, The chances of these strategies being successful are not as high as one might expect.

Can this work?

This question is stuck in Hosho Ryuki's brain.

Just when he was hesitating, the starting list from Seidou High School came over.

The starting pitcher, Tanpa Koichiro.

"This is wrong the script!"

Hoshiryu High School who had been studying to face Sawamura Eijun all day was completely stunned.

They had already come up with a countermeasure against the Maou, but when the match started, Seidou High School directly changed the lineup, not giving them a chance to play against Sawamura at all.

As a result, their research yesterday was for nothing.

It felt as if someone from Seidou High School had eavesdropped on their meeting.

In the first half of the game, Hoshiryu High School took the lead.

"First Batter, shortstop, Oda-kun."

Speaking of Oda, he is definitely not an outsider.

At that time, Sawamura Eijun led the useless Akagi Middle School baseball team to the national competition and won the championship in one fell swoop.

Sawamura Eijun's contribution here must be decisive. He is the creator and executor of this miracle.

If it was only Sawamura by himself, it would be absolutely impossible to reshape the team and dominate the country in a year and a half without the help of others.

Sawamura Eijun also had helpers on the team, especially when he was still in his second year.

One of his three helpers is Oda Honjo.

Oda Honjo does not look too dazzling and belongs to the type that if he was placed in the crowd would be too difficult to find.

But that doesn't mean that he has no strength.

At that time in the Akagi Middle School baseball team, Oda was the first batter.

His own speed is very fast, his attacking skills are also very comprehensive, his mind is bright, and he is observant…

It's still very troublesome for such a player to play as the first batter.

And Oda Honjo's strongest point is not his batting.

But his defense!

In the outfield position, Sawamura Eijun narrowed his eyes diligently.

'Looking back, we haven't officially met each other for two years. Let me take a good look at Oda-senpai and how far he has evolved.'

On the field, the duel between the battery and the Batter has already begun in full swing.

In the position of the catcher, Chris kept recalling the information about Oda in his mind.

'Although this batter does not have a strong swing, his batting skills are still good.'

To deal with him, the best way is to finish him cleanly with Straight balls.

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"

At this moment, Koshien is boiling!
