"Does it hurt here?"
"It doesn't hurt!"
"What about here?"
"No!"
The doctor was conducting an examination, and everyone around him looked worried.
Sawamura's expression was a bit blank, as if he didn't understand Captain Tetsu's behavior. He was obviously so uncomfortable, so the priority was to confirm his elimination.
It's like they don't understand why the Inajitsu players have such expressions of despair.
"Hey! Spare me!" Hirakawa of Ichidai San shouted in front of the TV.
"It looks like there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the violent impact made me feel sick to my stomach!
Just rest for a few minutes and you'll be fine! "
Hearing what the doctor said, everyone at Seidou breathed a sigh of relief.
After speaking, the doctor left the field. The referee decided to give Captain Tetsu more time, so he announced that the game would be postponed for five minutes.
"What's wrong with you?" Sendou walked to Sawamura.
"What kind of place is Koshien?" Sawamura asked.
"Are you asking this again?... I don't know!"
"But..."
"I don't know! Maybe it's because of my dream or simply not giving up!" Sendou understood what Sawamura was going to say and interrupted him directly.
"You'd better warm up with that Black-bellied Glasses, don't let your body cool down!
If you want to know where Koshien is, just go and see it with your own eyes! "
Sawamura raised his head and looked at Sendou.
"Don't look at me like that!
The world in everyone's eyes is different. No one knows how you feel when you stand in Koshien's Pitcher's Mound.
So..., if you want to know what Koshien feels like, just win! "Sendou looked at Sawamura and said word by word.
"Win it!..."
"Of course, although it's a bit rude to the seniors, we still have two years of opportunity!
However, you must not tarnish this game with a performance you are not satisfied with!
For the seniors, this game may be the last!
For you and me, if we perform poorly in this game, I'm afraid we will blame ourselves for the rest of our lives! "Sendou put his head on Sawamura's shoulder and said this quietly.
After understanding Sendou's words, there was an inexplicable look in Sawamura's eyes.
"Then! I'm going back!
If you don't know what to do, just enjoy the game! "
Seeing that although Sawamura knew what he said, he didn't know how to act, Sendou, who had his back to Sawamura, explained this way.
Then, he bowed his hands and returned to the outfield in such a cool manner, waiting for the game to start again...
"Enjoy...? Sendou said so..., then it can't be wrong!" Sawamura once again restored the previous expression on Pitcher's Mound.
"Sure enough, this guy is so awesome!
Just a few words can make Sawamura return to normal! It really can stir up other people's emotions! "Miyuki, who was listening next to him, looked at Sendou's back with a smile on his face!
"Sure enough! I also want to compete with you for the position of Starting Catcher!
As expected of that Coach Nakanishi disciple! "Thinking of this, Miyuki's steps towards home base became much firmer.
"Are you okay?"
Five minutes later, the referee confirmed to Captain Tetsu.
"Thank you very much! It's okay now!" Captain Tetsu bowed slightly seriously.
"Then, go back to your position!" After saying that, the referee signaled to the referee to let the game resume.
"Crack!"
"Good shot!"
The referee saw that the catch was completed once Pitching Practice and announced that the game would start again.
"The game has started again! It looks like Yuuki-kun is fine!
It's the finals of the West Tokyo Summer Preliminary Contest!
The game went into the second half of the eleventh round of Extra Innings, Inajitsu attacked,
With two outs and no runners, Batter's Box was the second-base shortstop Shirakawa! "
"The arm swing is thorough, the ball is powerful, and the speed is good.
The condition is also very good! In this case..., we can suppress them! "Miyuki looked at Sawamura in front of him and said to himself.
It can be seen from Shirakawa's face that he is also under considerable pressure.
But he stood on Batter's Box without hesitation, and...
"This guy is standing so close!" Miyuki's expression became solemn again.
Although Sawamura just shot a Inside Corner Ball, he still couldn't make the shot too tricky. He still can't do it yet, intentionally taking the ball and throwing it at people.
"Although he is a hitter who needs attention, he does not have the Long Hit ability!
It's better to end this round here, so that in the next round we can face Center Batting Lineup wholeheartedly.
Swing your arms thoroughly, it doesn't matter if Ball Trajectory is easier to hit! "
"We can't lose to them in terms of momentum!
To win...!
How can you escape?!!... here! "
"Phew!"
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
The first pitch was a bad ball in the outside corner. Although it was a little high, it was thrown so far that the batter could not release it.
"The ball is very powerful!" Miyuki encouraged while giving the ball.
"Sawamura! Deal with him!"
"Shirakawa-kun!"
"Please!"
"Eijun...!"
"It's good if you win! If you win..."
"Phew!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"What a risk! Will it be too late?
Batter's Box is completely different from what you see in the preparation area! "Shirakawa looked at Sawamura in surprise!
He was almost killed by that Inside Corner Ball just now. Shirakawa was very lucky that he was out of bounds!
However, even so, Shirakawa still continued to block the home base without giving in.
"You need to be more tricky!" Sawamura saw that the ball was still hit, and whispered to himself.
And the four words "enjoy the game" were thrown into the Java Kingdom, because Sawamura found that he had no remaining attention to enjoy the game, and he did his best despite the pressure.
"It seems that there is no Ball Trajectory that is aimed at! If there is..., I'm afraid it is also waiting for a good Ball Trajectory!
Then we won't be too polite to earn good goals! "Miyuki stared at Shirakawa, somewhat understanding what the other person was thinking.
"Huh!" Seeing that the next ball was not an inside corner, Sawamura breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Damn it!" Another opportunity was taken, Shirakawa was a little annoyed!
"One more goal!"
"Phew!"
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
Seeing Shirakawa in the outside corner again, he almost swung the bat, but the rhythm of his swing was affected by withdrawing the bat this time.
Miyuki saw the way Shirakawa was about to release the power of his swing but had to take it back, and knew that the winner could be decided.
"Diagonal Fastball of Inside Corner Ball!
This guy is blocking Home Plate, then move out a little bit! Anyway, when he stood so far forward, there was no difference except that the angle was smaller.
What's more, with the continuous outer corners and the unnatural withdrawal just now, his body will feel a little sluggish!
Your shoulders should also be relaxed because of those two outer corners, right?
Use this ball to finish him off! "
"Phew! Swing your arms with all your strength!
Be more cunning!
Deal with him! "Sawamura warned himself in his heart.
"More..."
"Be more cunning! Deal with him!!!"
"Phew!"
"Ah!"
"Touch!"
The ball was thrown at a huge angle, and a slash went directly towards the batter's face!
Such a swift and violent goal made Shirakawa turn his head with great reluctance!
It hit the helmet's cheek protector directly.
Shirakawa was headshot on the spot!
You must know that in the previous life, it only hit Shirakawa on the back of the head, where the helmet was thicker.
But this time it hit the injured part of Tanba, and the helmet's protection was even thinner. You must know that the helmet cracked where Tanba was hit.
Although Sawamura thought that the speed limit of the ball and the pursuit of angle power were not that exaggerated, Shirakawa did not feel uncomfortable. Not only did he fall to the ground on the spot, but his vision was even a little blurred.
As a result, he shook his head several times before he felt slightly better.
"Hit-by-Pitch!!!"
Just when Shirakawa was shaking his head, the referee made a decision and wanted to step forward to check...
At this time, Miyuki saw a familiar scene from Sendou's previous life.
Shirakawa put one hand on the ground and couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Sayunara's opportunity... has come!!!
"Yeah!!!" Shaking his head again, Shirakawa roared with all his strength!
In this scene, the general will of the dead soldiers gave Seidou a huge impact on the infield fielding lineup!
Sawamura It's like in the previous life, I have lost my soul.
Sawamura was not because of Hit-by-Pitch, but because he hit the opponent in the head and fell into deep self-blame.
A hard baseball is made of solid sawdust, no different from a solid wooden ball. Hitting it at a speed of more than 100 kilometers made Sawamura feel guilty for killing someone.
What Miyuki thought before was right. Sawamura's shoulders have indeed relaxed. The power of this last ball will also be enhanced by the relaxed and soft shoulders.
But he never thought that the softer the whip, the harder it would be to control it.
Sawamura's inaccurate attack is largely due to this reason.
So although the reason is different from the previous life, the result is the same.
This Hit-by-Pitch once again stood in front of Sawamura, just like fate...
And Seidou no longer has a relief pitcher.
"Shirakawa-kun was hit on the head by a ball and returned to the bench for treatment!
The game starts again later! "
This round is really full of twists and turns!
"Are you okay?" Yoshizawa asked from the Daocheng bench to Shirakawa, who was covering his head.
"A little dizzy! My eyes are a little blurred! I'm afraid I won't be able to play in this game!" Shirakawa replied.
"Then you should take a rest!"
"I thought he was a first grader who didn't know what fear was, but he still felt the pressure!
It's not like that guy can't handle the pressure. He's such a simple idiot. It's really great! "
"It's better if you don't talk! I'm afraid you may have a slight concussion!
Although it looks like there is no fracture, it is better to go to the hospital! "The doctor who just checked Captain Tetsu saw that Shirakawa was still talking, so he said.
"I hope to see the end!" Shirakawa said firmly.
"Hey! Then you'd better stop talking!
It's better if I stay here with you! "The doctor said helplessly.
"Thank you!" Shirakawa thanked him and stopped talking.
Inajitsu needs to check the situation of Shirakawa, and Seidou also needs to solve the pitcher's problem here.
"Don't worry! It's just an accident!" Captain Tetsu was the first to speak to comfort Sawamura.
"It's all because the batter is too close to home plate!" As a senior in the same dormitory, Pudding-senpai also spoke up.
"I'm sorry..."
"Ah haha!
Don't care! This is the result of active attack! "The seniors don't seem to have discovered the root cause, and their attempts to comfort him have no effect.
"Sorry..."
When they heard this sentence for the second time, everyone finally understood the problem, but they didn't know what to say!
"Eijun-kun..."
"It's not that he regretted putting the runner on base, it was just that it was in such a bad place!
What to do? We're out of pitchers! "
Everyone around Sawamura, including Miyuki, panicked.
"It's true! It's true!" At this time, Sendou's voice rang in the ears of the seniors.
"Sendou!"
"Sendou!"
"Sendou-chan!"
"Sendou-kun!"
This voice seemed to help everyone find a backbone.
Human beings, when they are completely panicked, can easily regard other people as life-saving straws and blindly follow them.
So everyone's eyes are focused on Sendou.
In Sendou's eyes, there was only a dull Sawamura!
"Ha!"
Sendou chuckled, walked forward, and grabbed Sawamura's head with his big hands.
Use five fingers.
"Y..., it hurts so much! What are you doing?!!"
"Finally woke up! What are you doing?"
"Sendou! I... hit someone!"
"So?"
"What's the reason? That's the head!"
"So you feel guilty?"
"Shouldn't it be right?"
"Should!"
"That!!!"
"But that guy has already made up his mind, hasn't he?"
"You're talking about..."
"Think back! That guy's reaction after being hit!"
"Huh?"
Not only Sawamura, but also everyone else present recalled that roar again in their minds.
And when I saw the smiling faces of Sawamura and Miyuki, I naturally recalled them more.
"Tell me! His reaction!" Sendou asked seriously.
"He..., he smiled!
Very happy!
Then..."
"Then he roared with excitement! That's right, right?"
"... Yeah!" Sawamura was silent for a moment and agreed.
"Do you understand?"
"...!" Sawamura said nothing.
"He's happy that he's able to get on base, he's happy that the opportunity to win the game is finally here.
Even if that chance is just a glimmer! "
"...!" Sawamura continued to be silent.
"Remember what you said a few minutes ago?
Do you still remember Tetsu-san's reaction when he saved the ball just now?
Regardless of the seniors, they all want to win!
Even if you die, you have to win!
Remember it for me!
This is the battlefield! As long as you can win, no matter what you do!
After the game, you can kneel down and apologize to him!
But now, fight like a warrior!
This is also a sign of respect for Shirakawa-san! "Sendou leaned into Sawamura's ear and whispered.
After saying that, Sendou retracted his upper body. Seeing Sawamura's expression recover, he decided to stimulate him.
"If you can't do it!
After this game is over, forget about the promise we made on the train to Tokyo.
The two of us... just go back to Nagano and continue playing amateur baseball!
Sawamura opened his eyes suddenly.
Sendou brought his head closer again.
"Imagine, the seniors also desperately want to win.
If it was your fault that they ended up in such a shame the Last Summer...
How should we face them?
It's not terrible to lose, but you can't lose like this! "
"Huh!"
Don't worry! Shirakawa-san will be fine. If something were to happen, the doctor wouldn't let him watch the game from the edge of the court!
I'll go with you to apologize after the game! "After finishing the harsh words, Sendou said softly.
With her chin on Sawamura's shoulder, Sendou knows Sawamura's choice even without looking.
How many years have they been together?
So, after saying that, he took his chin off Sawamura's shoulders, turned around and prepared to leave.
"...me,"
Hearing Sawamura's voice, Sendou stopped, but did not look back.
"I want to keep fighting! Like a warrior!
Win it! Then kneel down and apologize to Shirakawa-san! "
After Sawamura finished speaking, Sendou started walking again.
From the corner of Sendou's mouth, it can be seen that this guy is in a good mood.
Because Sendou knows that although there is no progress in technology, Sawamura's heart has been greatly sublimated.
"Thank you! Sendou!
Sure enough, you are so awesome!
It can come to the rescue in this situation! "Miyuki smiled and looked at Sendou's back.
The seniors were also deeply grateful for that back view.
"So handsome!" Xiaochun's eyes were full of admiration!
Fanboy +1
"This idiot is a bit of a midfielder, it's really great!" Sendou walked towards the outfield, thinking to himself.
He didn't realize at all that he was also a middle-class student...
"Although he has a strong character, he is still only a first-year student!
And as a shutout pitcher about Koshien!
It's impossible to be stress-free!
For Sawamura, maybe it's no problem!
I don't know when everyone had this idea!
Without Sendou, we would be doomed! ...
Phew!
Say it! Sendou Is that guy really only fifteen years old?
Is he six months younger than Sawamura?
Although one year younger than me! "As soon as the heavy self-examination ended, Miyuki returned to the state of complaining again.
Just like Practice Match when Miyuki lost to Chris for the first time.
"Compared to losing the game, would it be better to die?..." Sawamura thought this way.
"Oh!!!"
A few seconds later, a roar like a wild beast came from the field!
"That's not good! What did the pitcher say to the pitcher?
Not to mention being crushed, he is just like a wild beast now! "Shirakawa looked at the roaring figure in the field and said.
Inajitsu's other people now understand that they must face up to the pitcher standing in front of them.
Because of that figure, they saw the shadow of Narumiya Mei that stood in front of Seidou last year.
"Although Sawamura's problem has been solved, it is also Center Batting Lineup's turn!
And the temporary agent is Carlos!
This is really the worst situation!
In this situation, Inajitsu should not be a team that takes risks...
But if the stolen base is successful...
The possibility of the game ending with one hit is also very high!
What exactly will they do?
Sendou That guy just went back and didn't give me any advice!
That guy would definitely have a clue! "Miyuki At this moment of life and death, he is a little hesitant!
Finally, Miyuki looked at the bench!
"Don't worry!
Just concentrate on dealing with the hitter!
Get one out and the attack is over for this inning!
Let's show off with them! "Coach Kataoka thought while giving Miyuki a showdown Signals.
"This doesn't look like you! Black-bellied Glasses!
If you can't deal with the batter, it's meaningless even if you don't steal a base, and there are four more bases behind!
And it's no use stealing bases even if the batter is dealt with.
If the runner distracts the attacker and allows the attacker to find an opportunity, he is digging his own grave! "Sendou in the outfield looked at Miyuki and felt that he was also overwhelmed by the pressure.
"In the bottom of the 11th inning, with two outs and a runner on first base!
Standing now at Batter's Box is three-bat third baseman Yoshizawa!
Can Inajitsu seize this excellent opportunity?!!! "
"Yeah!!!" Yoshizawa roared to relieve his pressure.
"The Quirk Ball left-hander who can't see the release spot!
The first thing to do is get used to his ball speed!
There can't be any chances, this guy's condition is as terrifying as Ming's. "Yoshizawa kept warning himself.
Although his position was the same as the first and second bats, standing closest to the home plate, he did not use his upper body to lean over to block the home plate.
He wasn't sure whether the guy in front of him, with eyes like a beast, would still have the courage to throw the ball into the inside corner.
After all, if it was in that position, there would be no way to fight Inside Corner Ball, and the Inside Corner Ball before Sawamura were very tricky, and the Hit-by-Pitch just now was just an accident.
They couldn't bet their fate on something like this.
"First goal! Let's get an outside corner!
Although Ball Trajectory may be easier to hit, the ball is very powerful and will not be hit so easily.
And it can also increase Sawamura's confidence! "Thinking of this, Miyuki played the first Signals.
"Attack! Sawamura!"
"Get him here!"
"Concentrate on the hitters!"
"Let him call me!"
"Kill it as soon as it comes!!!" Jun-san shouted, which means that if the ball flies over, it will be solved.
"It's incredible! Everyone's voices can be heard so clearly!
Does that mean I'm calm now?
Sendou is right, if I lose here, I won't have the face to face my seniors! (This guy got it wrong...)"
"Concentrate on the hitters!
It's the pitcher's job to deal with the batter in front of him! "Looking at Carlos at first base, Sawamura was ready to pitch.
After all, it was a left-hander, and with two outs, Carlos didn't dare to go too far.
But what God of Cards didn't know was that if Sawamura was in a normal state, he would still be looking at him with cat eyes and frantically restraining him.
All I can say is that the current Sawamura is too bluffing!
Sawamura usually pretends to be fierce, but his eyes are far less intimidating than looking at the attacker indifferently.
Carlos was frightened by Sawamura's sight, and even moved closer to the base without knowing it, seeking psychological comfort.
At this time, Sawamura's anti-theft base containment technology was already good enough. With the blessing of such a state, the technical actions were also completed extremely perfectly.
Looking at the batter's condition, he started to lift his legs.
The first time the left-hander lifts his leg, it's hard for the first-base runner to tell whether it's a pitch or a check.
"Phew!"
"Crack!"
"Good shot!"
Therefore, Carlos did not dare to move, and Yoshizawa, who was observing Ball Trajectory, did not swing the bat either.
The two thousand owed are merged into this chapter, a 6,000-word chapter, so that the owed is repaid.
This Hit-by-Pitch is very important to the growth of Sawamura. His high Fighting Spirit in the later period also has a lot to do with this Hit-by-Pitch, so let him continue to appear!
Go to sleep first! Good night everyone.
