Chapter 100: King of Record Breakers
"strike out!"
With Eijun Sawamura taking out the rocket ball, Carl Rose, the top baseball player of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, was easily struck out.
As the core hitter of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, in the third inning, he failed to touch the ball of Eijun Sawamura?
All in all, this is not big or small, and it is also news.
It's just that people's attention is hard to focus on such small things now.
Because at this time, the fans' attention is focused on Eijun Sawamura's changeup and his strikeouts.
After Sawamura Eijun won this strikeout, his total strikeout has reached a terrifying 15.
Six innings, 15 strikeouts!
He was only two short of the contest record of 17 strikeouts, and three short of breaking the record.
There is hope, there is hope.
They will soon witness history here, witnessing the big devil Sawamura Eijun break the competition record again.
The eyes of the fans changed, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.
They cheered up Sawamura Eijun crazily, even if Sawamura Eijun returned to the rest area.
Their enthusiasm has not diminished.
Carlos, who returned to the rest area, ignored Narimiya Ming's ridicule.
After drinking two sips of water, he quickly changed his equipment and prepared to go to the field to defend.
"How did it feel to face Sawamura's pitch just now?"
However, Supervising Guoyou approached him at this time, and asked him decisively.
Anyone can see that Sawamura Eijun's pitching just now is very different from Sawamura Eijun's previous pitching.
But after leaving the field, Karl Rose did not share any information about that ball.
This is obviously unreasonable.
Supervising National Friends really wants to know what Karl Rose thinks.
"The changing trajectory of a baseball is a bit like a jet ball, but it is different from an ordinary jet ball. The speed of a jet ball is not the fastest among all the changeup balls. It should belong to the second echelon, but the speed of the guy just now is not the same. It hasn't slowed down in the slightest, it's even increased as far as I can tell."
After hearing what Karl Rose said, Superintendent Kunitomo did not give a refutation, but affirmed that they have a speed gun in the rest area, and they have tested the speed of Sawamura Eijun's ball.
"The speed of the three balls just now were 147! 148! 150! These are almost all the peak ball speeds of Eijun Sawamura. The last ball is even the fastest ball he has ever thrown. ! Your feeling is correct, the speed of the ball is indeed faster than his previous one, and it is faster with each ball."
Karl Ross, who was just guessing at first, suddenly changed his face when he heard this.
If it's just that he feels wrong, it's okay!
The current situation is his feeling, there is nothing wrong, Sawamura Eijun did throw the change ball faster than the straight ball.
A change ball with a ball speed of up to 150 kilometers!
Except for Jiang Guxiao in one of their teams, it seems that no one has ever been able to do this.
"Speak your judgment directly."
Supervisor Guoyou said with a cold face.
"What judgment can I make? If I have to say it, there is only one suggestion. You can't aim at this kind of ball, you can only hit other balls."
"You mean, our players can't hit this kind of ball at all? Even you can't!"
"That's right, that's it. At least in today's game, it may be difficult for us to crack this kind of ball. If we spend our minds here, it is impossible to beat Sawamura."
Karl Rose is not a person who easily admits defeat. It is conceivable that Sawamura's pitching is difficult for him to say this.
Supervising Guoyou turned around and said nothing more.
What Carlos said was almost the same as what he had guessed before.
The change ball that Eijun Sawamura showed just now is completely unknown territory for the players of Daocheng Industry High School baseball team.
Probably the Qingdao High School baseball team had already thought about using this kind of ball against Daocheng long before the game.
If they hadn't seized the opportunity and scored points from the beginning. Maybe the Seido High baseball team didn't even plan to give them a chance to hit base.
Guoyou looked up at the electronic scoreboard, which clearly displayed two huge numbers, one and zero.
At the beginning of the game, neither side actually took that point too seriously. Although Daocheng wanted to bet their victory or defeat on that point, they knew in their hearts that that point was not safe.
In baseball, there are too many possibilities for accidents to happen.
Considering that the opponent is the Kings Seido High School baseball team, it would be very foolish to bet on the hope of winning or losing by one point.
If possible, Guoyou Supervisor of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, of course, hopes that his children can score more points.
But until now, the possibility of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team trying to win points from Qingdao High School is extremely slim.
On the contrary, it is very possible to hold on to not lose points.
If Cheng Gongming can successfully survive this round, then there are only three rounds left in the game.
Nine outs.
At this point in the game, Guoyou Supervisor is already thinking about how to win.
If you want to win, you naturally have to maximize your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. This is the most basic approach.
Compared with the Qingdao High School baseball team, the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team now has the only remaining strength.
That's the extra point.
In addition, the Daocheng Industry High School baseball team really has nothing to take advantage of.
Then if they want to win, they must find a way to keep this point.
On this point, Guoyou Supervision sees it very clearly. He believed that the players of Qingdao High School's baseball team could see clearly.
In the second half of the sixth inning, the Qingdao High School baseball team attacked.
When we were in the rest area before, Supervisor Kataoka had given the clearest instructions.
"The opponent already has the determination to break the boat. No amount of bluff can scare them. Let's carry out our previous strategy to the end, fight steadily, and rely on strong strength to open up the opponent's defense. If it doesn't work, it will consume Gong Ming's pitching number."
In today's game, Narimiya Ming's performance was not inferior to that of Sawamura Eijun.
So far, he's given up two hits and even walked Eizumi Sawamura once.
But the number of effective hits left for Qingdao High School is only two.
It was able to suppress the Wangwang Qingdao High School baseball team to this extent.
Narimiya Naruto, Prince of Tokyo, definitely lives up to his reputation.
Other than that, because of his great pitching. Even if the Qingdao High School baseball team is in full swing, the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team is not at a disadvantage.
The two sides can be regarded as evenly matched.
Sawamura Eijun had more strikeouts, and Narimiya Naruto had quite a few strikeouts...
certainly.
It is definitely impossible for a pitcher to keep up with the rhythm of the big devil without paying a price. In the five innings that ended before.
Cheng Gongming has thrown a full 74 balls!
Even if he has excellent stamina, he is one of the best among all high school students.
His peak number of goals is also approaching the limit.
Being able to score a hit directly is the most perfect thing.
If you can't get hits, consume more of Cheng Gongming's pitches, and you can push him to the limit as soon as possible.
As long as the physical strength is not at its peak, the ball speed will drop.
Then Cheng Gongming wouldn't be as difficult to deal with as it is now, and if Qing Dao wanted to defeat him, he would have a chance.
Supervisor Kataoka's calculations were loud.
The players under him did not live up to his expectations. After they entered the field, they clung to Cheng Gongming tightly.
Kanamaru entangled four balls, Kuramochi entangled six balls, Kominato Haruichi entangled seven balls.
Although in the end three people, none of them were able to score a single hit.
But he entangled Cheng Gongming with 17 goals.
Let Narimiya Ming's pitches soar to 91 balls!
In the end, Cheng Gongming couldn't even use tricky changing balls to strike out Xiao Minato.
It just forced Xiaomin and failed to hit the center of the ball.
After the baseball is hit, the speed is also very fast. If it is not for the outfielder Carl Ross to react in time, the return speed is fast.
Maybe Haruichi Kominato hit the base directly.
Three ups and three downs, two strikeouts, one block.
Cheng Gongming survived this round.
Cheng Gongming, who returned to the rest area, looked quite tired.
The opponent is the Qingdao High School baseball team, and any hitter is very good.
To solve them, Cheng Gongming consumed not only physical strength, but also his personal energy.
His fatigue is not only physical, but also mental.
"It's really difficult!"
Cheng Gongming had been looking forward to this match for a long time.
The opponent seems to be more difficult than he imagined.
But Cheng Gongming is not depressed at all, he is even happy because he has such an opponent.
Such a fierce competition makes every cell in the body seem to come alive.
The whole body is transparent!
Fun! !
"Supervisor, do you need to curb Sawamura Eijun's rhythm?"
The assistant coach took the initiative to go forward and suggested to Guoyou Supervisor.
Although he had made the same suggestion before, it was rejected by Guoyou Supervisor.
Looking at the imposing Qingdao High School baseball team on the opposite side, Daocheng's assistant coach thought that he still had something to say.
Of course, Superintendent Guoyou also noticed this, but he ignored the suggestion of his assistant supervisor, and said it to his disciples instead.
"Now that the opponent's momentum has risen, timidity will not have any effect. It is equivalent to giving the opponent a number of outs in vain. One point is not guaranteed, and I don't want to see you be so cowardly, swinging the bat with all your strength, and imposing on the pitcher. Pressure. I don't believe in games like this, he's not nervous at all."
When he said these words, Guoyou Supervisor remained expressionless as always.
The boys from the Daocheng Industry High School baseball team had their eyes red when they were told, and they said viciously.
It will definitely give a good look to those guys on the Qingdao High School baseball team, and let them know that Daocheng's strength is definitely not inferior to Qingdao.
The seventh inning, which is also the most important inning of the game, began.
The first to hit the field was the Daocheng Industry High School baseball team player.
After waiting for the players to start the competition, the assistant coach Ai Ai came to Guoyou Supervisor's side and asked in doubt.
"If the players are swinging with all their strength, wouldn't it be easier for Eijun Sawamura to strike out? You just watched him break the record?"
"What's wrong, the beauty of adults."
Hearing Supervisor Guoyou's answer, the assistant coach was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
Guoyou Supervisor shook his head and continued.
"Under such great glory, I don't know if the players in Qingdao have noticed the crisis hidden under this prosperity?"
