Chapter 159 The hardest part is left to you!

Chapter 159 The hardest part is left to you!
"I'm speechless, what on earth are you doing?!"

Michael, who had just returned to the locker room, scolded Thompson.

If this game hadn't been broadcast nationwide, he would have been swearing.

He still gave Michael some face.

When being taught a lesson by Thompson, Michael was like a harmless "kitten" and said nothing.

He could still smile in front of Allen, but in front of Thompson, he dared not say a word.

No say at all.

Allen is on the same level as him, but Thompson is not.

When Thompson scolded him, he could only listen.

In fact, Michael's ability is not bad, but his mentality cannot make him a capable hitter.

If he could be more mature, he might be able to start in high school in the United States.

"Thompson, stop talking. I'll arrange the tactics for the rest of the game."

Supervisor Kitamura spoke.

But there was a language barrier, and Thompson was angry, so he didn't listen at all.

Even the classmates who came to help translate were pushed down by him.

The atmosphere in the lounge of Bingcheng High School was very bad.

It was all because of that incident at the banquet!

It’s not Thompson’s fault.

That at-bat was also crucial for Ice City High School.

If Michael could get on base, then Allen connecting with Thompson's batting line should have no problem getting a point.

At least they can ensure that they don't lose, and if the game is dragged into overtime, they still have a chance to win.

But such a good opportunity was ruined by Michael.

There are two innings left in the game, and the only two people we can rely on are Allen and Thompson.

If they didn't score any points, the game would be over.

Thompson's home run was a highlight of the game, but it would not be the key to determining the outcome of the game.

"These are the last two innings. Everyone must concentrate. These are the only chances we have to score. We have to at least drag this game into overtime."

Coach Kitamura also issued an ultimatum, requiring the team to ensure that they did not lose the game at all costs, and winning could be put aside.

If the game goes into overtime, Qingdao High School's pitchers will obviously not be enough. At that time, Bingcheng High School only needs to change pitchers to basically ensure victory in the game.

They still have confidence in dealing with a pitcher with no physical strength.

If the plot really develops in this way, Director Kataoka will definitely regret not putting Akatsuki Fūya or Tamba on the field.

Thompson seemed completely absent-minded as he listened to the translator's tactics.

This game was destined to be dragged into the endgame.

"The pitcher of Seidou High School has changed. Kawakami-san has gone down to rest, and the one who replaced him is pitcher Sawamura-san."

"This should be their last relief pitcher."

No. 20 Sawamura ran towards the pitcher's mound, and coach Kitamura's eyes never left him.

Kawakami was only used for transition.

"At such a critical moment, you have placed your hopes on a first-year pitcher. Coach Kataoka, no wonder there have been rumors that you are about to resign. It seems there is a reason for this."

"Sawamura, facing this big scene, you shouldn't be nervous, right?"

Miyuki ran to the pitcher's mound and grinned as he looked at the electronic scoreboard.

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but the expression on his face made Sawamura feel a little mocking.

"Miyako-senpai! Please don't show that expression, okay? I'm telling you, even if this kind of scene happens a hundred times, ten thousand times, I, the genius Sawamura, won't be afraid..."

Sawamura was "hit in the vitals" by Miyuki, and the result was that he kept chattering.

Talking incessantly has become one of Sawamura's biggest characteristics.

"I know, stop talking. It's too noisy."

Miyuki covered his ears with a disgusted expression. He didn't go to the pitcher's mound to listen to Sawamura's rant.

"Okay, do you know why Director Kataoka chose this time to replace you?"

When this question came out, Sawamura was stunned at first, then he touched his nose and made a very cool gesture.

"Of course it's because I can handle big scenes!"

Sawamura said with pride.

"Yes."

This answer surprised Sawamura a little.

Sawamura was a little surprised that this servile senior Miyuki didn't even insult him.

"Coach Kataoka brought you up because he believes you can handle big situations." Miyuki said, "The next lineup of Ice City High School, Allen and Thompson, are not something that ordinary pitchers can face. It is because of this that Coach Kataoka chose to believe in you. You are definitely not an ordinary pitcher!"

This encouragement left Sawamura stunned.

This senior Miyuki looks so strange!

Miyuki patted Sawamura on the shoulder and threw down a few words while running back to the catcher's box.

"The toughest hitters are left to you, Sawamura!"

Sawamura was still in a daze on the pitcher's mound, but Miyuki had already run back and squatted in the catcher's box.

Sawamura held the baseball tightly.

Yes, Director Kataoka just believes in himself!
Confidence immediately doubled!

"Top of the eighth inning, Ice City High School is on offense, the fourth batter is the pitcher, and it's Allen."

"Tack them one by one. Let's solve this one first. If Thompson really can't do it, he can be sent home as a free agent."

Miyuki made a secret signal gesture.

As for Thompson, to be honest, Sawamura is really no match for him!
"Open the way with the inside corner kick, believe in yourself, they can't do anything with your inside corner kick!"

Just so confident!

Lift your legs high, almost with your head close to your knees, to maximize the speed of the ball!

Seeing this pitching posture, Allen, the pitcher, was stunned.

After his right foot landed hard on the ground, his whole body stretched out like a bow and arrow, and his left hand was like holding a wall, hiding behind his broad shoulders.

"What the hell? Why are you so slow?"

Allen, who was usually calm, was panicked. He had never seen such a pitch before.

"Whoosh!"

When the baseball was thrown, Allen only heard the sound of the baseball being thrown and did not even see the shadow of the ball.

Sawamura's pitching style is that he only pitches at normal speed.

It is difficult for hitters to find the release point.

This is why Sawamura's pitching always catches batters off guard.

"Qiang!"

When the ball came to his hand, Allen swung directly.

Because the ball didn't seem to be very powerful and could be knocked out with one hit, he hit it out without too much hesitation.

"It's too late."

The fight has already been fought, there is no point in regretting it any more.
