Chapter 68: Mature Performance (2 in 1)
pps: Thanks to Little Snowman and Little W for their generous rewards!

Because of his teammate's defensive mistakes, Sawamura fell into a rather embarrassing situation.
The players of the North American team made it to first base.
Speaking of before, it is not that there were no North American players who hit the base successfully. At that time, although the players of the island nation team were also worried, but on the whole, everyone had a bottom line in their hearts.
They believed that even if the players on the North American team hit the bases, they would do nothing.
But things are different now.
At that time, the island nation not only led the score, but also had a considerable advantage in terms of momentum and situation.
Overall, they didn't believe that the North American players could do anything wrong.
But now, although the island nation is still leading, the situation on the court has changed. The island country team has no way to firmly grasp the initiative of the game. Instead, the players of the North American team seem to have a stronger momentum.
Originally, the momentum was strong, but now there is a breakthrough in the situation. If you say that the North American players don't want to make a difference in this situation.
Then it is estimated that it can only fool the ghost.
The players of the North American team, as long as their heads don't suddenly get flooded, will definitely want to make a difference, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
Not to mention, Francis was standing at first base.
This North American boy has a very strong overall strength. The ability to defend is one of the best, and the ability to attack can also be ranked in the top three in North America...
The most important, of course, is his unparalleled speed.
According to the data, this guy's 100-meter speed can run under 11 seconds.
Especially the short-range explosive ability and the speed of stealing bases are simply astonishingly fast.
Let such a person stand on the base pack, the threat level is self-evident.
Before Sawamura pitched, there was no way to take into account the North American second bat on the strike zone.
Most of his attention was focused on the restless Francis.
The guy was very crazy, and he was more than three meters away from first base.
This distance is far enough, beyond the limited safety distance.
If Zecun turned a blind eye, then it is conceivable that during the process of his pitching, the opponent will definitely choose to drive straight in.
He was already so far away before throwing the ball, even if he cooperates with Lian Si to stop Francis, it is not an easy task.
You know, this guy is more than just leaving the bases.
And his unparalleled speed...
"What a troublesome fellow!"
Sawamura muttered, his whole body didn't change in any way, and he couldn't even see his turning around.
The small white ball seemed to be enchanted, and it went out from the side of his body and flew towards the first base suddenly.
Because Sawamura himself didn't make any early moves, the baseball seemed to fly out of nowhere.
Many people at the scene didn't even notice the change in baseball.
The first baseman who was connected to the ball was stunned for a while before he realized what happened?
"Snapped!"
The glove catches the baseball, though the Islands' first baseman, brain stalls.
But as a star player at the national level, he has gone through a lot of practice in private. Even if his brain didn't react, his body reacted naturally.
Although the speed is not so fast, it is quite smooth.
As soon as the body is short, he touches and kills with gloves.
Faster than the glove is Francis, a North American player in a blue uniform.
At some point, the young man rushed out.
His hand touched the bag of first base ahead of schedule.
"Safety!"
The line judge was stunned for a while, and then announced.
At this time, he realized what happened just now?
It's incredible!
As a lineman, he no longer knows how many games he has watched.
Not just middle school students, high school students. Even college team professional team games,
He has also seen a lot.
He had never seen such a diversionary shot like Sawamura's.
The white ball appeared almost instantly, which is incredible.
Silently, suddenly appeared.
Quite a bit of ninja killer style.
Francis, who was lying on the ground, was also in a cold sweat.
In the past, North American players actually heard a lot of rumors about Sawamura.
But they didn't take it too seriously at first.
Ever since the North American Dream Team played Seido High, people seem to be over-praising Sawamura.
If he is portrayed, he can compete with Allen. Even in some respects, it surpassed Allen.
In the eyes of well-known players in North America, this is simply a joke.
Allen is a once-in-a-decade super genius in North America, which can be compared with Jordan in basketball.
Does Sawamura, who came out of nowhere, deserve to be compared with him?
Perhaps in a certain game, the performance of the two is indeed evenly matched. But this has a lot to do with each person's state and the environment at that time.
When it comes to strength and background, they don't think Sawamura is qualified to be compared with Allen.
Of course, they also admitted that since Sawamura can throw such a game, then he must have certain strength himself.
This is also the reason why those well-known North American players are willing to challenge Sawamura.
Francis had exactly the same idea before. Before the game, he even wanted to teach Sawamura a good lesson.
But it wasn't until he actually fought against Sawamura that he realized that their previous judgments were too arbitrary.
This guy who looks harmless to humans and animals has a powerful power in his body that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Until now, the situation of the game has been firmly controlled by Sawamura. Although North American players tried their best to make a breakthrough, they still failed to achieve their wish.
Sawamura, like an invincible terrifying demon king, stood in front of them.
During the confrontation between the two teams, Sawamura basically gave them no hope. Not only that, he also personally pushed the North American team into the abyss.
So far, the two homers the Islands have scored are the two runs they have scored.
All thanks to Sawamura.
Almost by himself, he firmly suppressed the entire North American team.
Now, his containment of the ball is also amazing.
It is completely different from the style in North America. Eijun Sawamura has a unique style of holding the ball.
You know, Francis was well prepared before.
But even so, in the process of fighting against Sawamura, he was almost tricked into it.
This man is really too strong!
In the past, people said that Sawamura could be compared with Allen, but Francis didn't say anything, but he was 100,000 unconvinced in his heart.
He is very clear about the strength of senior Allen, just how strong is it?
Not to mention the comparison with high school students, even if he is compared with players in the minor leagues or even the major leagues, he can not fall behind.
Francis is even confident that when Senior Allen gets familiar with the rules of professional baseball, his performance may be even better.
That is the true pride of heaven!
Francis has never thought that anyone can be compared with Allen, especially among players of the same age.
But now, looking at Sawamura Eijun in front of him, he has extremely huge doubts about his previous judgment in his heart.
Maybe such a person really exists.
Just like Sawamura in front of me.
When it comes to pitching, his pitching characteristics are definitely not inferior to Allen's, and it can even be said that each has its own merits.
In this regard, Francis believes that he is not exaggerating at all.
You must know that Sawamura in front of you can play around with the players of the North American team even when his strength is greatly limited.
It's hard to imagine, what kind of scene would it be if his strength fully exploded?
Francis had no way of guessing, but he intuitively believed that he should be no worse than Allen.
This is the most basic.
It is also the most important measure of an ace pitcher.
From this point of view, the two are barely a tie.
But in other respects, it is very different.
Faced with Li Weide's pitching, Sawamura hit two home runs.
It would be useless to argue with coincidence.
There is no doubt that this is the embodiment of Sawamura's combat strength.
Although Alan's strike skills are not bad, but compared to the current Sawamura, I am afraid it is not too realistic.
With these two items alone, in terms of comprehensive strength evaluation, Sawamura may have already surpassed Allen.
And that's not all. Looking at Sawamura's performance just now, this person's ability to contain the ball and deal with crises is far beyond people's imagination.
He seems to be omnipotent, and all difficulties are solved in front of him.
Known as the Great Demon King!
In the past, the North American players, including Francis, were all very disdainful.
But now, they use calm and objective eyes to examine the opponent in front of them.
Francis and all the North American friends had to admit it with a pat on the chest.
That's awesome!
Apart from these three words, they couldn't even think of any other adjectives to describe it.
Great man!
The Sawamura in front of him is worthy of such a title.
The opponent is strong!
Francis is deeply aware of this, and he can clearly feel the tremendous pressure brought on him by the other party.
So much so that Francis intuitively believed that this must be a remarkable big shot.
Don't wait until the future, even the current Sawamura is already a great big shot.
The opponent is strong!
This is an objective reality, and there is no need to find some messy reasons to prevaricate.
But that didn't hit Francis.
The stronger the opponent is, the more he can arouse his desire to conquer.
The Sawamura in front of him has obviously been regarded as a stumbling block to his dream.
No matter how difficult this stumbling block is, he must get rid of the other party, and then soar into the sky.
After Francis stood up, he didn't seem to be affected at all, and continued to put on that offensive posture.
Eager to steal a base.
Sawamura on the mound was helpless in the face of this situation.
Since the sudden attack just now failed to solve Francis.
Then it's meaningless to try to contain it again.
This guy's reaction is too sharp, there is no time and space for him.
In this case, he also had to think of some other ways.
In the course of the ensuing matchup, North America's second batter put on a bunt preview.
For such a notice, Sawamura did not pay too much attention to it, but instead pitched according to his own rhythm.
As for what happened before, he didn't seem to have seen it.
What happened before did not affect Sawamura's pitching at all.
"Too mature!"
It is not just Fujio, a veteran reporter in the baseball kingdom, who has such thoughts.
Many of his peers also maintain this idea.
Sawamura's performance, although there is no visible result now.
But from a mature point of view, Sawamura's performance is undoubtedly remarkable.
In the case of a major crisis, most people will affect their emotions and even their state.
Some pitchers performed well before, but a game was suddenly blown up.
This is all normal and nothing to be surprised about.
Renji gave Sawamura a signal to let him not worry about the runner, and if the runner really wants to steal a base, let him handle it.
Sawamura just needs to throw the ball with all his strength.
Even though he knew it was just comfort, Sawamura felt warm in his heart.
In fact, there was no need for Renji to specifically remind, Sawamura himself did not pay attention to the runner anymore.
When he realized that Francis couldn't be dealt with using the check ball, he dropped that idea.
As long as Francis does not step beyond the three-meter range, there is almost no danger.
Once he stepped out of that range, he would never show mercy.
If there is no way to win the opponent for the time being, you can only leave it aside and concentrate on dealing with the beater.
Sawamura gave up Francis!
Francis felt a burst of relief on his body, and he almost didn't fly.
As Sawamura began to throw the ball, Francis immediately started to move.
No one expected that this guy's actions would be so decisive.
He didn't look sloppy at all, and started running directly.
"Thought beautiful!"
Seeing this scene, Lian Si felt ruthless in his heart.
Since the other party took the initiative to come to the door to seek death, then he would not be polite.
Could it be that the opponent thinks that he is holding the ball at a slower speed?
In Lian Si's heart, he secretly became ruthless.
As long as the white ball enters his glove, he must stand up immediately and pass the ball to the second base.
1
But before he could make a move, Lian Si suddenly found an extra bat in front of him.
Is it to be escorted?
Seeing this scene, Lian Si had doubts in his heart.
But soon he denied his guess.
It shouldn't be that simple.
So what exactly do the North American players want to do?
Hit and run!
This routine is not complicated at all, and it is even quite simple.
It's just that it is a bit out of touch with the previous style in North America.
No one expected that it would be such a result in the end.
"Ping!"
The white ball was touched and then knocked out.
