Ace of Diamond: The Pitcher Returns

: Chapter 6: Wizards

By the time the game reached the fifth inning, the difference in the score between the old school team and the freshman team was already unbearable.

Fortunately, the freshmen teammates have already figured it out. They no longer care about the score on the field, but only care about their performance. In this way, the strength gap between individuals is revealed, and now, 90% of the players left on the field are the players who were less talented in the past.

18 of the 19 freshmen have also played, and the one with the most outstanding performance is basically in line with what everyone expected.

The strength of Pu Chun and Xiao Mu is obviously higher than the others. Now, the two have the highest scores.

They were not able to score six points in advance and qualified one step earlier, just because they played later than others and haven't had a chance yet. I believe that as long as there are two more games, the two will be able to qualify in advance.

And from Sawamura's own point of view, the strength of the two has reached the level that they can play. He could completely replace Cang Yue and serve as his own substitute.

I don't know if these two people had already found a place for themselves before they came to Akagi Middle School. But for the baseball team, the addition of the two is indeed a good addition. Although it can't be regarded as a rebirth of the team, it did increase the team's strength by one or two percent.

As for Wakana, no matter how childhood sweethearts, they have a close relationship. Sawamura had to admit that girls couldn't compare to boys' physical fitness. Especially at the age of 13 or 14, it is the peak period of boys' development, and girls are more vulnerable.

It is no longer suitable for Wakana to continue to be the main force of the team. After all, Akagi is no longer the grass-roots team that was just created, and Wakana is not one of the best female men with better physical fitness than boys.

She can only transfer to be the team manager.

For such a change, Wakana herself also readily accepted. It was really hard for her to have her fight on the court with a group of boys. If it wasn't for Sawamura's childhood sweetheart, Wakana would never have done this.

The Orientation Tournament was even more boring than Sawamura imagined.

Under the leadership of Sawamura, the old student was a **** torture to the new student. Even if they themselves are not much better than the freshmen, they had already fought with Tenryuji Middle School and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.

With such confidence, there is cooperation and tacit understanding.

The new opponents on the other side are limited by the rules and cannot form an effective combination of offense and defense, so they can only fight on their own.

It is not surprising that the old and the blood abuse the new.

Among the freshmen, the only person who showed interest to Sawamura was probably their catcher.

On the court, the only freshmen who can persist from the beginning of the game to the present are their catchers. The other starters, including the original two junior players, were all pushed down.

As a catcher, this kid made almost no mistakes. He was very good at catching the ball, but at the same time he didn't cooperate with the pitcher and scored strikeouts.

He didn't lose a point when he was on the field, and he never scored.

If that's the case, it would be easy for him to be eliminated.

According to the rules set by Sawamura, as long as he gets a strikeout, he loses three points, and two rounds of line play are enough to put him out.

But when this kid was attacking, he was very ghostly. If it was a normal swing, it would be impossible for him to touch Sawamura Ball with his striking strength.

So when the attack started, this kid completely gave up the normal attack.

He used all the bunts, so even if he hit the ground, he would only lose two points. If he was lucky enough to be stopped by the defense, he would lose one point.

And this guy took the initiative to ask to play first.

Everyone is not a fool. Those who play first will naturally suffer. He took advantage of this and completed the exchange with the ninth ball drawn by the lottery.

In the fifth inning of the game, this guy only dropped four points in total.

Although he has the lowest score among the nine people on the court now, he has stayed the longest.

As far as Sawamura Eijun feels, he really doesn't like such people. It seems that such guys are generally very good at calculating. And Sawamura itself has a natural character, and some people are naturally resistant to those who like to calculate.

"What's your name?"

Although he didn't appreciate the opponent's personality very much, when Sawamura stood on the strike zone, he took the initiative to ask his name.

Senior Fengxiang will be graduating soon. For Akagi Middle School, they desperately need a catcher to supplement.

As the captain and direct leader of the team, it is necessary for Sawamura to find a successor for Feng Xiang.

The guy in front of him, although he looks immature, feels like a really good catcher.

"Hello, senior!"

The young man was a little flattered, and stammered with his mouth open, "Matsumoto Jun, my name is Matsumoto Jun, senior."

Oh!

Sawamura nodded noncommittally, then continued to ask casually, "How long have you been playing baseball?"

Matsumoto Jun seemed a little embarrassed and only stretched out three fingers.

Three years?

Sawamura frowned subconsciously.

Although Matsumoto Jun is good at catching the ball~www.wuxiamtl.com~ But if he has been practicing baseball for three years, it means that he has been playing baseball since the third grade of elementary school, and has been playing until now. So immature, he doesn't know anything other than catching the ball.

This is beyond words!

There are only two possibilities for this result. The first is that he doesn't practice much, and he doesn't like it very much; the second is that he has no talent...

And these two are just dead spots, no matter what the reason is, Sawamura can't tolerate it.

Feeling a little unwilling to give up, Sawamura asked a question.

"Three years?"

If Jun Matsumoto nodded, Sawamura would definitely kick him out of his list without hesitation.

Matsumoto shook his head.

Sawamura instantly felt that his breathing was a lot faster.

"Three months?"

When he said these three words, Sawamura's voice trembled slightly.

If Jun Matsumoto has only practiced for three months, then he is definitely a good seedling.

Catching the ball looks simple, but it also requires talent.

This time, Matsumoto Jun shook his head again.

Sawamura was already a little too afraid to guess.
