Chapter 30 Fireworks Are Good, But Only For A Moment
on the field.
The third base runner at Hazrat Hall.
Get ready with a serious and focused look.
"That pitcher's ability to handle the ball was extremely inconsistent."
"As soon as I get the chance, I'm going to get back to home plate!"
...
Green Road Rest Area.
Minister Ota said in a panic:
"Although Chris completed the double play."
"But...but..."
"This time it was pure luck to get the opponent out."
"If you don't keep it, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Coach Kataoka held his hands and said lightly: "He deliberately used forward defense, and used this provocative defense to induce the opponent's batter to swing vigorously."
"Then take advantage of Sawamura's new stance—the invisible pitch, to impress opposing batters!"
"Finally, let Sawamura use his previous stance and throw the red-center straight ball that drifts."
"Chris set two or three traps."
"Plus the full cooperation of the defensive players."
"This success is definitely not based on luck!"
As soon as this remark came out.
Minister Ota was instantly speechless.
...
at the same time.
in the stadium.
The moment Chris catches Sawamura's pitch, he slams the ball to third base.
And the third base runner at Haws Hall.
Originally thought that Sawamura's ball control was poor, and the catcher would miss the catch.
so.
The first time Sawamura pitched, it started.
The result was unexpected.
Chris not only caught it accurately, but also passed the ball to third base for the first time.
then.
Run back quickly.
But by the time he turned around, baseball had already surpassed him!
When the runner pounces on third base.
The third baseman has caught the ball and touches the runner with the glove holding the ball before the runner touches the third base.
"OUT!"
The third base umpire announced the result immediately.
"Oooo!"
"Too...awesome!"
"The runner who wanted to sneak back to home plate was struck out by the lightning-like pinning ball!"
"With just three goals, three base runners were eliminated, completely resolving the crisis of no one being out at full bases!"
"As soon as the catcher came on the field, the whole situation was reversed in an instant!"
this moment.
Everyone was impressed by Chris's strength.
"Amazing!"
"As expected of Senior Chris!"
"It's me, I didn't do anything!"
And Chris' new fan brother, Sawamura, shouted excitedly.
"Is this person's shoulder really hurt?"
"How could he be so strong?"
"Is this really the performance of not participating in the competition for a whole year?!"
"The one-year gap has no effect on him at all!"
The other members of the Second Army also exclaimed again and again, and all of them suffered a huge shock in their hearts.
"Amazing!"
"Why do such powerful people stay in the Second Army?"
Outside the venue, first-year manager Yoshikawa Haruno also sighed.
"Because it was the year Chris-senpai entered Qingdao."
"Qingdao is known as the year of underpayment. Except for him, everyone else's skills are very poor."
Lin Tian walked to Takako Fujiwara's side and replied with a smile: "The people around him are looking forward to him. In order to live up to this expectation, Senior Chris has been hiding his shoulder injury and has been competing."
"As the number of games increased, the shoulder injury continued to worsen and eventually exploded, making it impossible to play baseball."
"If Coach Kataoka hadn't asked him to stay on the team and coach the other players, he might have quit the baseball club."
Fujiwara Takako was very surprised: "You actually know Chris so well?"
Lin Tian smiled: "I heard that Senior Chris's strength is far superior to Yu Xing, so I asked about it out of curiosity."
...
Snapped!
With a crisp sound.
Haruichi Kominato, who was the first to play, hit a beautiful midfield hit.
It attracted the admiration of the surrounding audience.
Immediately, Haruichi Kominato put on a stiff victory pose with a blushing face.
the other side.
Sawamura was reminded by Chris.
Head to the bullpen and adjust to your new pitching stance.
...
but.
Although adjusted.
But time is short after all.
Playing again, still unable to use the most correct posture for every ball.
despite this.
But Sawamura's special straight ball will not deviate too far.
And this kind of straight ball that will suddenly turn.
It also caused headaches for the batters in the Haishi Hall, and from time to time a fly ball came.
It is worth mentioning that.
There was a high fly ball that flew behind the referee.
Follow the rules.
If the batter hits a fly ball, the batter will be eliminated as long as the fielder can catch it in the air.
Chris in order to complete the kill.
Knowing that there is a solid wall ahead.
But still jumped up and forcibly caught the ball.
And Chris also hit the wall because of this jump.
"Isn't he injured? Why do you fight so hard? Aren't you afraid that the injury will recur?"
Outside the arena, Yoshikawa Haruno frowned in pain.
Lin Tian replied with a smile: "In order to get one more elimination, he will do his best, even if he will pay the price of injury."
"He's the same as Sawamura! Both are pure athletes!"
Fujiwara Takako: "Why didn't you mention yourself? Are you not pure?"
Lin Tian nodded: "Yes, if the price is injury, I will most likely give up this behavior."
"Maybe you think it's wrong to give up the save."
"but..."
"At a professional baseball game."
"Generally, people who do this will be praised at the time, but if something happens, they can only retire silently!"
"After a period of time, no one will mention this again!"
"Anyway!"
"I don't want to be a flash of fireworks!"

Fujiwara Takako and three other female managers.
Although I really want to refute, I feel that what Lin Tian said makes sense.

The mood has become extremely complicated.

at the same time.
when~
A soft sound.
The baseball landed lightly on the ground and bounced slowly toward first base.
"!!"
"!!!"
"what..."
"Sawa... Sawamura's strike was successful?"
"And...and his strikes subtly defused the power of the ball!"
"I didn't expect Sawamura's strike to be so powerful!"
"Good order!"
"Beautiful strike! Although I think it's probably just a fluke..."
With Sawamura's touch, Chris, who stayed at first base, was sent to second base.
The praises from teammates and seniors continued to sound.
but.
Because Sawamura is the first time to use the strike in an official game.
So everyone thought that Sawamura's strike was just luck.
However!
What they don't know is!
Sawamura's striking ability is stronger than everyone else!
