Ace of Diamond: The Pitcher Returns

on the field.

The little friends of the Akagi Middle School baseball team stared blankly at the people who came to cheer him on, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Even Fengxiang and Oda, who are well-informed and mentally strong on weekdays, are a little dumbfounded.

When was the last time they saw this battle?

It seems that it was still the fifth grade of elementary school, when they participated in the national competition.

When did the Akagi Middle School baseball team become such a popular team?

"Bros!"

Sawamura was still relatively calm at the scene. He had seen too many big scenes. Although he was moved by the thousands of people in front of him, it was not enough to make him pale.

"Now, we have no way out. No matter what lies ahead, we can only continue to rush forward,"

Sawamura said with a wry smile.

"Ah~"

My friends, I also have the same awareness. Even if it's not for themselves, for the audience who are willing to stand up to the scorching sun and cheer them on, they can only fight.

"Nagano Prefecture Competition, the second game of the semi-finals, the Akagi Middle School baseball team will play the Tenryuji Middle School baseball team, now starts!"

In the first half of the game, Tianlong Temple Middle School attacked.

Before going on defense, Akagi's little friends looked at Sawamura with disgust. Having never eaten pork, they have seen pigs go away. After so many games, they also know that the side that goes first in the game will be better off.

In the two key games of Keze Village, the boxing game was lost.

"You are lucky, don't play with small steel **** in the future, are you just giving money to people?"

Yamaguchi opened his fleshy lips and complained.

Having said that, Sawamura was somewhat embarrassed.

It seems that his luck is not very good recently.

"Forget it, for us, although there is an advantage to attacking first, defending first is not a bad thing. Isn't that right, Mr. Ace?"

Fengxiang said, his eyes fixed on Sawamura.

"certainly!"

Sawamura nodded with a smile: "For this game alone, the back attack may be a good thing for us, not necessarily a good thing."

Instead of watching Nanami Haruka's pitching, she felt despair in her heart.

It might be better to show off first, one's own defense, and give the other side a slap in the face.

In the first half of the game, Akagi's defense began.

In this game, the defensive lineup of Akagi Middle School changed. Cangyue Wakana, who was originally guarding the center field, suddenly adjusted to the third base position to guard the third base. Former third baseman Ken Yamaguchi was moved to center field.

"Number one, catcher, Hattori classmate."

Hattori, second grade, one of the main core players of Tenryuji Middle School. He is the partner of ace pitcher Haruka Nanami, and is also the unstoppable number one on the team.

"Has the defense been adjusted?"

In addition to the information on the surface, Hattori also has a characteristic that his eyes are sharp enough. It is often possible to see the intention of the other party through some superficial phenomena.

Only this time, he was a little confused.

I really don't understand, what is Akagi doing?

To be honest, that fat man was actually well-defended in Akagi's team. How could such a core defensive player be replaced?

"I really don't understand!"

I don't understand, and Hattori didn't bother too much. Since you can't figure out what the other party's intention is, then use your own action to open a gap.

"Ping!"

On the first ball, Hattori used a bunt strike.

He hit the ball precisely in the direction of third base, and then flew to first base.

Although Cang Yue at third base worked hard to pick up the ball and pass it, she was still a step behind.

"Safety!"

No one was out, there was someone at first base.

Tenryuji Middle School, although they seemed to despise Akagi Middle School when they met before, but in the real game, their tactics were very conservative.

From the very beginning, they used bunts to attack, even if the three kings were in civil wars on weekdays, this situation was rare.

Tenryu Temple, obviously, has already regarded Akagi as the object that needs to be guarded the most.

"so fast!"

"That guy is Scud, Hattori? It's really fast."

"Yeah, he played on behalf of Phoenix Temple last year, but he was not a catcher at that time, but a running agent."

The second shot was also a bunt.

It's a pity that his ball didn't stop as well as Hattori's. It landed in front of Sawamura and was picked up by Sawamura and sent to first base.

"Get out!"

Although the batter was out, the former first base runner Hattori took the opportunity to get to second base.

Once out, there is someone at second base.

"Third, pitcher, Haruka Nanami."

Throughout Nagano Prefecture, the biggest player appeared.

"Aoyi, let me see the strength of your new partner."

In the position of the catcher, Feng Xiang looked up at Qi Hai Yao and said in a low voice, "Although I said that, you may not be happy. However, I think Sawamura should be a more powerful genius than you."

"Oh, then I'm very interested."

Qi Hai Yao smiled brightly, so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off.

He himself is not outstanding at all, even ordinary. But once you laugh, it's totally different.

Charming!

"Then I really have to be careful!"

"Ping!"

Facing Sawamura's sharp pitching, Nanami Haruka chose the same bunt as the first two.

Then he rushed out like a sharp arrow.

The ball was heading towards Sawamura. Sawamura rushed forward and picked up the ball. He didn't even lift his waist, and passed the ball to first base.

"Snapped!"

When baseball came, Nanami Haruka ran to first base almost at the same time.

The linesman hesitated for a while, and finally raised his hand: "Safety!"

"Ooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!"

It was not until this moment that ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ the grandstand on the side of Tianlong Temple erupted in cheers from the mountains and tsunamis.

Once out, there is someone at first and third base.

With just bunts and runs, they've won very good scoring opportunities.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Tenryuji Middle School has really grasped the weakness of Akagi.

That is, except for the three points of catcher, first baseman, and pitcher, all the defensive points of Akagi Middle School are loopholes. Except for the high-flying ball delivered to the door, they are basically the equivalent of wooden stakes.

"Fourth, first baseman, Pingyuan."

At the moment of crisis, the most dangerous hitter at Tenryu Temple entered the strike zone.

The situation that Akagi Middle School is facing is very bad.

In the position of the catcher, Feng Xiangao stared at Nanami Haruka on the first base with fire-breathing eyes.

This bastard, didn't he just say that he wanted to decide the outcome? It's really despicable to use a bunt.

On the pitcher's mound, in the face of the crisis, Sawamura was very calm.

He indifferently stretched out a finger and clenched it into a fist.

This is the secret code they have discussed before, and it is also a defensive formation that is specially used to target the bunt tactics that Tianlong Temple may use.

Cang Yue and Xiao Tian, ​​who were on the first and third bases, moved forward ten meters from their garrison positions and guarded against the batter. At the same time, the Yamazaki brothers in the left and right outfields approached the infield sideline for ten meters.

Second base and shortstop followed suit, almost in line with Sawamura Station. They can fill first and third base at any time.

The entire second base was completely vacant, and no one was guarding it.

The most interesting thing is that in the field, Yamaguchi did not move forward, but chose to retreat, retreating to the back of the entire stadium.
