NOVEL NEXT Chapter 72: Who?
Chapter 72: Who?
“The second round of the Kanto Tournament, West Tokyo Seidou High School’s against Chiba Prefecture Narita Industrial High School, officially begins!”
“Please take care of me!”
“Please take care of me!!!”
When the two sides saluted, Seidou players could clearly feel the fighting spirit and resentment of Narita players.
Sawamura didn’t remember what kind of grievances between Seidou High School and Narita Industrial High School, and asked Kuramochi beside him strangely, “What’s wrong with them?”
There is no love for no reason in the world, and naturally, there is no hate for no reason.
There must be a reason why the Narita players are unhappy with Seidou’s players. Sawamura thinks that even if he doesn’t know, his seniors must know.
Unexpectedly, Kuramochi ignored his question at all, but questioned Sawamura very resentfully: “Are all those guys here to support you?”
Looking in the direction of Kuramochi’s finger, you could just see the Brotherhood of the Red Heart and the Demon King’s Guard.
Compared to his matches in middle school, the size of the attendees has shrunk by two or three points. There were only six or seven hundred people from the Brotherhood of Red Hearts. The Demon King’s Imperial Guard is no more than 2,000 people.
But considering that it is only during the Kanto Tournament, it is not a traditional holiday. It’s not easy to have so many people here.
Especially the members of the Brotherhood of Red Hearts' arrival made Sawamura have complicated feelings.
If it was normal, when he heard Kuramochi’s unkind tone, Sawamura might have taken into account his mood and changed the subject gently.
But today, Sawamura didn’t want to run away no matter what.
“Yeah! They’re all here to support the humble me.”
Hearing Sawamura’s words, Kuramochi’s eyes burst out with anger, wanting to burn Sawamura to ashes.
“So you’re very cool, huh? you are such a big star, huh?”
His fists creaked, and Kuramochi stared at Sawamura with a very bad look.
He was very angry, or more like he was jealous, and he wanted to vent his anger to Sawamura.
Don’t anyone say that he has to be careful, Kuramochi never thought of himself as a person of great caution.
“I’m really envious.” Next to him, Kominato Ryosuke followed suit.
Isashiki Jun stared at Sawamura fiercely: “Hey, kid, how much did you pay for so many fans?”
“Give all the details.” Yuuki Tetsuya is as cold as ever.
It’s over, the seniors are going crazy.
Sawamura hurriedly looked at Chris for help.
“I also feel very bad.”
Seeing Chris spread his hands, Sawamura looked at heaven helplessly.
‘This, what a cruel world?’
“Haha, you brought this upon yourself,” Miyuki said with a gloating face on the side.
Sawamura couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him: “You are a substitute, so don’t talk nonsense.”
Miyuki: “…”
“Senpai-dono, now your opponent is not me. Let’s talk about winning the game first.”
Seeing that the surrounding seniors were all red-eyed, Sawamura quickly diverted the conflict.
These words are still very effective. At this time, all the players in Seidou are focusing on their opponents.
The same is true for the players from Narita, who are staring fiercely at these guys in Seidou.
In their opinion, Seidou’s guys are really too much. They are about to have an official match with them. Not to mention taking the time to get familiar with the stadium, they even started chatting in the rest area on their own.
‘Do they think we are crazy or stupid?’
The players of Narita have no answer to this question now, so they can only wait until the competition time to know.
Game start.
Narita takes the lead.
In this game, the starting battery of Seidou High School was changed. The starting pitcher was Tanpa and the catcher was Chris.
Such an arrangement is very obvious and is beyond the expectations of Narita Industries.
Sawamura, who pitched sharply, didn’t start, that’s all. After all, Sawamura is only a first-year pitcher, and considering his physical fitness, he can't take the game alone.
At this time, it is undoubtedly a very safe choice to send the more experienced Tanpa.
But at this time, who the hell is Chris who they never heard of? Could it be that Chris is a better catcher than Miyuki?
“Normally, it takes at least two years to train a catcher. A catcher like Miyuki who can shine as a catcher in the first year is one in a hundred or even one in a thousand. No matter how talented Seidou High School players are, it will never be. It is impossible to have more than two catchers of this strength!”
Coach Chazawa stared at the dugout of Seidou High School, his eyes became fierce.
Could it be that in the eyes of Seidou High School, Narita can only be used as an opponent for you to hone your substitutes?
“Then you’re more than welcome, hit them hard!”
Thinking of this, Coach Chazawa’s eyes immediately turned cold, and he decisively issued instructions to his players.
The Players of Narita are just as eager to show off now as they get the permission.
They have been impatient to push Seidou into the abyss.
“STRIKE!”
“STRIKE!”
“STRIKE! BATTER OUT!!”
SNAP!
“OUT!”
SNAP!
“OUT!!”
Three outs, offense, and defense exchange.
The plans are very good, but the reality is extremely harsh. The players of Narita went to the strike zone with confidence one by one, and then came back one by one, disheartened.
The first Batter was directly struck out by Tanpa with a high drop curve!
You have to say that although Tanpa’s pitching ability has always been questioned, his high drop curve ball is still very powerful.
It’s not easy for a batter to hit this kind of ball.
Then the second batter and the third batter, because they were too wary of that kind of curveball, their swing was unstable and were dealt with again and again.
The second ball hit the infield rebound and was directly picked up by the second base Kominato Ryosuke.
Then the third, a fly ball in left field.
Sawamura had been waiting for the baseball drop.
Another Out!
Narita’s batter was clearly grasped by the Catcher and was led away by the nose.
“Where did that guy come from?”
Chazawa, the Coach of Narita, looked at the handsome Chris in shock.
Seeing the results, it is not difficult for him to see the strength of Chris from the performance of Chris just now.
This is a very, very high-quality catcher with experience and IQ.
For Tanpa, they are not ignorant. In any case, Tanpa is still the Ace of Seidou High School, and they have a lot of information.
It is very easy to study Tanpa.
To say that Tanpa can be conquered in the first inning, the Coach of Narita was not very sure.
But he never thought that his own players would be eliminated so easily by Tanpa.
It was already clear that it wasn’t just Tanpa’s problem.
The real problem is still with the catcher.
‘Where did this catcher named Chris come from?’
It is said that in a famous school like Seidou High School, there are players like Chris, and he should not have heard of it.
