Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 102 Resolving the Gap Between Eijun and Chris (Part [-])
Gao Zhiye's steady performance eased the anxiety of the ace's end. After striking out No.1 with a good straight ball, Hengxue's bench information changed, "Hit a high fly ball and get the score as soon as possible!" '

For the seventh shot, Yincheng wiped off the brim of his hat. He wasn't sure if he could hit it, but since he was a first-year student, there would always be loopholes. First try to hit out of bounds and watch a few more shots.

"Out of Bounds!"*2
'It's dangerous! 'The second ball was hit very close to the first base line, but luckily it was out of bounds.

'The stick is so sticky, let's play a ball he hasn't seen. '

On the third ball, the seven bats were emptied, and the heart was shocked, 'Carter? '

"Three strikes!"

"Why don't you hit a high fly, what are you looking at!" Before they reached the bench, the voice of the Hengkaku supervisor came over, but unfortunately they didn't have that chance now.

With two outs and full bases, if he can't get a score at this time, it will be a very big blow to Hengxue.

'Take it down in one go. Miyuki understands that the most important time of this half round has come, and it may be able to boost the atmosphere of the attack.

The outside corner straight ball, the second seam at the same position in the outer corner, and the inside corner straight ball, the batting rhythm of the eight bats was destroyed, the third ball was squeezed, and the infield was stuffy.

"Aha!" Kuramochi caught the ball and passed it to Minato at second base.

"Three outs! Switch sides!"

"Yo blind, first grader, you did a good job!" Everyone in the field came over one after another.

'I thought I would lose at least one point, but it turned out that the opponent was careless. '

"It won't be so simple at the beginning of the next inning. I will go to the bullpen to pitch in a while to keep the heat."

"Hey——then Miyuki-senpai, if it's your turn to strike this time, remember to hit it out." Takano moved closer to Miyuki, and under Fuguya's eyelids, he was very intimate. He had to share a good luck with Gao Zhiye, and his sense of competition rose again.

"..I try my best."

In the second half of the seventh inning, it was the turn of Qingdao's three-four-five center to hit the line.

"This inning has to be a hit!"

"Hi—" The seniors were stimulated by the reliable performance of the first grade, but the opponent's trump card was not so easy to overcome. The 2:2 stalemate continued until the second half of the ninth inning. The rhythm of pitching, if it continues like this, it will be an overtime. I don't know if the physical strength of the first grade can sustain it. Based on this situation, the seniors of Qingdao finally broke out in a wave, and the upper line hit a total of three hits. Scored the leading point to stop the game.

"Huh—" It's really tiring, because when he first debuted, he tried his best to throw every ball better. When he was about to throw the ball, the interval was very long, and he was even called timeout twice by the referee. Miyuki came up to appease him. , "If you do this again, you will leave a bad impression on the referee." Takano's pitching rhythm was a little faster.

"It's finally over." Miyuki patted the first grader who was sitting with his head down, "The team is complete."

"Senior Miyuki." Takano raised his head, "It's really tiring for the official competition."

"So, in your integration plan, there is still too little part about physical exercise."

In fact, his tiredness is more important on the psychological level. Gao Zhiye participated in a high school competition for the first time. Although he is a freshman, the opponent will not be humble, and all the second and third graders are sent. This kind of psychological oppression , plus the brain's crazy memory to calculate the ball's landing point, you must know that the brain's normal energy consumption accounts for 20%, and it will consume more sugar in the blood even more during strenuous exercise, which is why people are easy to get hungry when they use their brains The reason for the quick progress, in short, Gao Zhiye still needs several games to get used to if he wants to gain a firm foothold in high school.

After the game, Gao Zhiye walked out of the player preparation room and saw Fuguya leaning against the wall and waiting for others.

"Jiang Gu, I thought you went out first."

"No, I want to come out and wait for you."

"Since you won the first game, there will always be a chance for you to play later..." As a result, before Gao Zhiye finished comforting him, Jiang Gu walked faster and faster, "Ju Gu, if you don't want to hear it, you can refuse it." Don't run away."

"In that case, I refuse."

"Hi-Hi~" This child is really difficult to serve.

After Seido's first victory, the second match will be at 10 am the day after tomorrow, against Tokai Ohara from Chiba.

Back at school in the evening, the first army got a rest time. Originally, Gao Zhiye was going to sleep to replenish his energy, but Lang Zhi came to him.

"Hey, Rongjun and senior Chris just had a fight on the court, and the two of them almost got into a quarrel."

Gao Zhiye, who just lay down, could only sit up, "Didn't you persuade me?"

"I can't get in the middle of the conversation among them. I feel that Rong Chun's words are too much. Of course, what Senior Chris said is also unacceptable. You can persuade them."

"Okay... so what did they say?"

Lang Zhi told the truth, emphasizing Eijun's impatience during training recently.

"So, let me just say, both of us joined the first army, and the rest of Rongchun couldn't have changed his mind. Well done, why did he suddenly become so understanding?"

"Don't use such disgusting words, don't you have a good relationship with Senior Chris? The two of them are in a stalemate. Aren't you caught in the middle?"

"Well, well, that's really good, what are you looking at again?"

Having received the promise of the latest game, Lang Zhi Le went out, leaving Gao Zhiye to ponder for a long time, 'Who should I go to first?Talk to senior Chris face to face?say what?That fellow Sawamura will always understand your kindness?With Senior Chris's current personality, he would probably say that this is his business and I don't need to worry about it.Then go to Rongchun first?Tell him that the current senior Chris can guide him to grow?Eijun would probably complain a lot to me, it was too noisy and he didn't want to go. '

"Hey——" Takano's every muscle seemed to be screaming tiredly, "I really can't take care of the two of them, I'm about to fall asleep, I'll ask the captain or Miyuki to coordinate tomorrow." '

During the preparations for the next day's battle, Takano mentioned the matter to Miyuki a little bit: "I'll go and persuade Rong Jun to accept the arrangement of Senior Chris with peace of mind, and you can also help me to talk about it later. After a period of time, Eijun really feels the growth, and he will be able to realize how powerful Chris is."

"Haha, why do you care so much about that guy, don't you wonder who will start tomorrow?" Miyuki approached and asked.

It is known that Tanba-senpai has pitched more than 6 innings yesterday, Kawakami-senpai seldom starts, Fuguya never played once, so the one who can take the starting position is Takano.

"Senior Miyuki, don't you find it boring to say these words?"

"Where is it boring? Don't you feel that Tamba-senpai's pitching is particularly powerful today?"

"...you're too close"

In the end, it was only during the meal that the first-year group of five got together, and Takano had time to talk to Eijun.

. . .

"If he is really as good as you said, why is he like this now, with a gloomy look on his face, and he never lets me shoot in training."

"Hey, listen to me—"

"I left early in training every day, I was not motivated, and asked me to do something with unclear meaning every day. I finished the scroll that day, and he actually said to me, there are 364 days left, and I have to do those things every day of the year. "

"Hey, hey—" The third graders behind looked over.

"You have already played in the first army, but I haven't shot a few shots so far. Can you understand my mood..." Then he was slapped on the table by Gao Zhiye.

"Have you calmed down? I told you to listen carefully to what others are saying. What Senior Chris said before was indeed too much, but what you said just now was too much. Let's offset the two. He was seriously injured for the team's victory. Now If you don’t leave the team, it’s probably because you don’t want to be abandoned by the team you once valued so much. Most of the gloomy personality you mentioned stems from his current situation. In terms of understanding of baseball... Don’t you like Miyuki the most? Miyuki has never been in junior high school You haven’t won against Chris-senpai before, so you can understand? If Chris-senpai wasn’t injured, Miyuki-senpai wouldn’t be the catcher, but you were taught by a real catcher in Seido!”

After Gao Zhiye finished speaking without panting, he let go of Eijun who was struggling like a cat drowning in water, "My face!" Stable, so that the third graders who noticed the situation gave up, 'Well, it seems that the first grade can handle this internally. '

Eijun was silent for a while, as if he was thinking, he scratched his face indiscriminately, "If that's the case... I'll go and apologize to him now!"

"Sit down for me!" Takano pushed Eijun who stood up abruptly to the seat, "Eat well."

"Hi—" Eijun, who was complaining just now, stared at the food seriously.

To be tamed in this way, Takano gestured "OK" to other people, but after he got to know Grandpa Eijun, he understood that this method was not his original creation.
