Ace of Diamond: The Pitcher Returns

v2 Chapter 7: Sawamura VS Yokozuna (Dedicated to the

After Yamanaka Shikanosuke stood on the strike zone, he also assumed a bunt stance.

His intentions are a bit obvious.

"Want to cover the runners to third base?"

Sawamura glanced at the mountain and thought vigilantly in his heart.

I have to admire the excellent tactical training at Yokozuna Middle School.

As far as this short play is concerned, it is definitely not something that ordinary middle schools can do. The runner on second base steals third base, and the batter cooperates at this time, putting on a bunt stance. It will be very easy to put everyone's attention on yourself.

In this way, on the one hand, it provides cover for the runner, and on the other hand, because of the bunt, he can bend down very reasonably. In this way, the shape of the hitter, to a certain extent, obstructs the catcher's sight.

When the pitcher pitched the ball, the batter suddenly retracted his bunt bat. The ball that would have been short-hit suddenly slipped into his glove. How would the catcher react?

No matter how strong the catcher's psychological quality is, it is certain that he was caught off guard to a certain extent.

Missing an inch is a thousand miles away!

As long as there is a slight time difference, it is enough for a runner to steal bases.

Such little tricks, when Sawamura was in the major leagues, he had seen countless.

But where is that? There's the big leagues!

The baseball players gathered there are among the best in any country in the world. They have taken baseball to another level.

It's a little trick that belongs to the major leagues, and it appears in the middle school game, which makes people speechless.

From this point, we can also see the strength of Yokozuna Middle School, this team. Compared with them, the original three kings of Nagano County were nothing but chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow.

Not to mention the strength, the tactics are too amateur!

"It's just a pity that little tricks like this don't work for me."

On the pitcher mound, a sneer appeared on the corner of Sawamura's mouth.

Thinking about it, Sawamura secretly adjusted his position, and then threw his ball with all his strength.

The small white ball flew towards the catcher's glove like a laser beam.

Bad ball! And it's an ultra-low angle bad shot!

Such a ball, if the batter wants to bunt, it is very difficult to touch.

When Sawamura made the pitching action, Nishimura, who had already left the second base and touched the third base, started with all his strength and flew towards the third base.

"Steal the base!"

Ashin exclaimed.

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura looked indifferent. The development of things was exactly as he imagined, and he had given Feng Xiang a secret signal before. Now as long as Fengxiang catches the baseball and passes it to Yamaguchi at third base.

If Feng Xiang was not mentally prepared, the possibility of success of this tactic of Yokozuna Middle School was very high.

But since Sawamura gave Fengxiang a secret signal, and now Fengxiang is psychologically prepared, the stealing of bases at Yokozuna Middle School at this time is equivalent to sending out the number of games.

Almost at the same time, Yamanaka, who was originally holding the short bat, took the bat back just as he had written the script and acted accordingly.

Sawamura smiled in his heart: "Nice job!"

Wait, wait a minute!

Sawamura's smile hadn't fully unfolded, and he was stunned in place as if he had been frozen.

In the mountains where he had retracted the bat, he swung the bat out again.

This guy actually cheated!

Wait, no, it's not that simple.

Nishimura was stealing bases at the same time he was swinging his bat in the mountains.

Cheat, beat and run!

After realizing this, Sawamura himself felt incredible.

A player from Yokozuna Middle School, such tactical execution is very close to professional baseball.

How did they practice?

No one could answer Sawamura's question.

Fortunately, Sawamura himself did not expect anyone to answer him.

Now Sawamura has more important things to do.

"Ping!"

The baseball that was tricked into playing flew straight to Sawamura.

Of course, Sawamura had calculated this point. Originally, Sawamura's position on the pitcher's mound was infinitely close to the first base, so that after his ball was thrown, it was a large-angled oblique line. When the ball hit the bat and rebounded, it also rebounded at the angle of the oblique line. , generally bounces in the direction of third base.

This time, realizing that the opponent might actually be taking a short walk, Sawamura quietly adjusted his position before pitching. Now the ball he throws is a straight line!

If the ball lands directly in the catcher's glove and everything goes as expected, that's certainly the best outcome.

But if the opponent is determined to bunt or cheat, Sawamura also has preventive measures.

The ultra-low-angle ball that flies in a straight line will bounce back to the front of the pitcher even if it is hit.

Just like now!

The small white ball rolled straight towards Sawamura's open glove.

After Sawamura received the ball, he did not pass to third base, because it was too late to pass to third base at this time!

Sawamura put the ball directly into the hands of first base Oda Benson, and blocked the batter Yamanaka out of the game.

The situation turned into two outs with someone at third base!

The audience was dizzying to watch this lightning-quick confrontation.

fantastic!

The only regret is that they didn't see what was going on.

Who won this battle?

To put it bluntly, when a runner goes to third base, he has one foot on home plate. But at the same time, Sawamura scored another elimination.

The two sides were a draw.

"Two outs!"

With the situation evenly matched, Sawamura was the first to speak, giving the impression that they had taken advantage.

"Two out!"

"Let them call!"

These little friends from Akagi Middle School are indeed old partners who have cooperated with Sawamura for more than a year.

As soon as Sawamura spoke, they understood.

As the saying goes, the first strike is stronger, and the later strike suffers. At this time, it is undoubtedly beneficial to speak first and take the initiative on your own side.

The audience didn't understand what was going on, but Akagi spoke first at this time, and in fact, they did score two outs.

It feels like Akagi won the fierce confrontation just now!

"Akagi! Akagi!!"

Never underestimate the maliciousness of people. When these melon eaters saw that Big Mac Yokozuna Middle School was suppressed, their hidden evil thoughts broke out completely.

Vaguely, they were looking forward to it. Looking forward to the moment when the boat capsized in the gutter of the national hegemon Yokozuna Middle School!

In such an atmosphere, the players of Yokozuna Middle School felt very aggrieved one by one.

They had a very powerless feeling against Akagi, especially against the pitcher on the mound.

It seems that no matter what they do, there is no way to escape each other's palms.

"Fourth, first baseman, Otomo!"

Even if their batter was at the core of the fourth bat at this time, and there were still people at third base, there was no way to dispel the haze in their hearts.
