Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 103 The Charm of Ball Speed ​​(Second Update)
After that, Gao Zhiye didn't have time to worry about Eijun's affairs anymore, and the second round of the Kanto Conference was about to start.

As expected, he was the starting pitcher. Standing on the mound that had never been stepped on, it felt so good. Takano shook the anti-skid powder on his hands. There were many people with different school uniforms on the sidelines, everywhere. The camera is set up, it seems to be someone who came to investigate.

'It's really flattering me, with just a few brushes, I don't know when it will be seen through. He teased himself in his heart, recently he has been consolidating the pitching and adjusting his posture in junior high school, and he has no time to improve the existing balls.

"play!"

Takano looked at the gloves placed in the inner corner, and the excitement and familiarity slowly climbed up his back. To a certain extent, Hayakawa and Miyuki became friends because of the strong mutual attraction in nature, but Hayakawa's offense Sex is wrapped in hearty tolerance, while Miyuki is even more sharp-edged.

Tokai Ohara is from Chiba County, a strong local school, so when he heard that Qingdou had an amazing first-year pitcher, he immediately found out about his previous pitching content. This pitcher named Takano, the most The threat is his straight ball, the ability to create a swing is very strong, and the accuracy of the pitch can execute the catcher's idea very well.

"This kid really doesn't look like a first grader. You watched the last game. He pitched very steadily, but he is still a first grader. The lack of practice can't make up for it. So, you give me Consume his strength and knock him out." As for how to deal with Seidou's ace after Takano left the game, the director of Tokai Ohara said again.

Because of too much babbling, when the first bat was standing in the strike zone, the words of the supervisor, "He's just a first-year!" clenched his bat, and he saw Qingdao's first-year pitcher smiling. , Those long legs took a step farther than the average pitcher, as if he took a sudden step forward, and at a place closer to the home plate, the ball came, and he didn't even have time to think about it. He was driven around half a circle by the force of the sway.

"Strike!" At this moment, the voice on the field reached his mind. Damn it, this pitcher's throwing is really uncomfortable.

In the first inning, the three hitters basically had a hard time adapting to Takano’s pitching rhythm, because he moved farther forward, and the release point of the pitch was actually closer to the home plate than other pitchers. Here, the same 140 kilometers, physically, his ball speed is faster than that of the machine, leaving less time for the hitter to think. Although the difference is only milliseconds, it takes time to adapt.

"Three outs, switch sides!"

Gao Zhiye quickly pulled down the brim of his hat, and returned to the bench with everyone.

Without the attention from the audience, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, "Jianggu, can you get me a glass of water? You can exchange a message for free."

Jiang Gu had to stand up from the bench, "Water, here you are."

"What, is this the water for me?" Jiang Gu nodded, he had just picked it up and kept holding it in his hand, but the seniors around Gao Zhiye made him stop.

"Furuya-kun, you may be able to play today. How are you, fastball pitcher, are you nervous?" Takano gulped and drank the water, then pulled Fuguchi aside and whispered, during which Miyuki asked him to enter the bullpen , was chased away by him like a mosquito.

"I won't lose!" Jiang Gu's fighting spirit was instantly ignited. Looking from the bench, the pitcher's mound and the person who pitched the ball were so strange, as if a word would suddenly feel strange after reading too much , He also wanted to go up to see the scenery of the pitcher's mound.

"Hee hee, those who came with cameras really made money. How about it? Qingdao, which lacks pitchers, suddenly has two freshmen worthy of attention. Isn't it scary?" '

"Stop whispering, the supervisor is staring at you." Miyuki said sadly from behind, he was a catcher, and he had to beg his junior to throw the ball, it was really embarrassing.

"Oh!" Only by doing so, Gao Zhiye would respond positively.

As a result, after not throwing a few pitches, Takano put on his helmet, "Today I am the sixth bat~~" and replaced an unsightly catcher.

"That guy...has only thrown a few pitches. By the way, why do I have to be behind the pitcher!" Miyuki put on his batting glove silently, feeling the attention of everyone on the bench, "Hey, don't look at me like that , It's just that the supervisor is trying, try! '

Takano's hitting posture is as stable as his pitching. He didn't adopt the scarecrow or pendulum hitting posture that is very popular among high school students. His left foot only turns slightly, and the movement of the entire center of gravity is very coherent. This is the former hitting coach. Kinoshita Liu asked him to practice.

"Bump—" The pitcher's strong arms and shoulders allowed the ball to be carried far away, and Senior Yu on the third base could come back slowly, and Senior Masuko also ran to the third base. At this time, the situation became With two outs on second and third base, it was Miyuki's turn to hit seventh.

"Oops—" An infielder flew the ball directly into the opponent's first baseman's glove, "how did he just stand there by chance?"

"That's not because you played beautifully..." After running back to the bench, Gao Zhiye pissed him off.

"Haha, more compliments!"

"I'm not praising you!" Really, he didn't feel sour, but was disgusted by this thick-skinned.

In the first half of the second inning, after the panic in the first inning, at the beginning of the second inning, Tokai Ohara's hitters seemed to have a goal. After realizing that Takano would not throw meaningless balls, their goal was no longer Guess the ball, but - when the next ball comes, hit it.

"Bump—" I didn't expect to be guessed by the four bats, and it hit a single base, and Donghai Ohara's first hit in this game was born.

"In this way, we can only say that the opponent's four-bat is very good." Takano didn't pay too much attention to the four-bat on the base, and sent the next three hitters back to the bench one by one.

"That's right. I thought you would panic at least twice if you were kicked out."

"If the ball is thrown, it will be hit. I have understood this truth for a long time." Anyway, except for home runs, if you get hit in other situations, you may not necessarily lose points.

Supervisor Kataoka, who was standing at the entrance of the bench seat, heard half of the conversation, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips, cultivating an absolute trump card. His wish is still strong now.

The bench next to the first base, Donghai Ohara's four bats, was surrounded by everyone as soon as they came down.

"How did you get out?"

"Have you discovered his weakness?"

The four sticks can't be said to be based on feeling. Fortunately, the supervision at the entrance stopped everyone.

"So, let you practice swinging more often. Now that you are asked, so what, how to do or what to do. Let me prepare the defense and concentrate on it, you know!"

"Okay——" Because of the performance of the four sticks, the teenagers here were all encouraged, as if the next person to break through Gao Zhiye could also be himself.

At this time, it was the turn of Qingdao's subordinates to play the line. This time they went up and down smoothly, and the smooth defense directly affected their attacking momentum.

"Hey, the opponent has gained momentum." Cang Chi kept staring at the opponent, he had just been struck out, "Give me a good guide to the first grade, teach those people on the opposite side a lesson, don't think that you can win with just one hit."

"Hi-hi~" Since the straight ball has been caught a little bit, let's introduce the change ball from the beginning of this round, Miyuki thought about what he just heard, "Senior Miyuki, I don't want to finish this game, so please follow the Let's distribute it according to the situation of the six innings", which is amazing, those pitchers can't wait to hang on the mound without leaving.

"Why? Don't all of you pitchers want to finish pitching?" Miyuki asked as a matter of course.

"If there is only this game in front of me, then of course I will try my best to complete the shot, but if I focus on the professional baseball a few years later, then in the spring game of the freshman year of high school, whether a game is completely shot or not, is it right? It's not that important anymore?"

'Haha, he turned out to be a very passionate guy, with a career or something. '

So from the third inning, the hitters of Donghai Ohara became even more sad. In addition to the straight ball, they added Carter's bad ball to lure the stick, and the changeup ball that disrupted the rhythm. Every time the hitter aimed at a certain ball path, Will be quickly played out by the catcher.

"Damn it, this pair of pitchers—" Now, they can see more and more clearly that what they need to deal with is not only the first-year pitcher, but also the catcher. He is using his own experience to guide the pitcher's footsteps, "too It's difficult."

At around 11:[-] in the morning, the game was in the seventh inning, and the atmosphere of the entire stadium was one-sided.

"Strike!" Gao Zhiye ranked 11K in this game. His threat has been passed on to their school through the scouts present. Will suffice.

Supervisor Kataoka stood at the entrance, facing Takano who ran off the field, said: "You did a good job, you can rest later."

Gao Zhiye responded, and then Danbo walked to the front: "Supervisor, I can play at any time."

"I understand what you mean, but this game doesn't need an ace to play anymore. Take a good rest, and you will be needed in tomorrow's game." Director Kataoka is worthy of teaching Chinese, and he said this, comfort Danba, and he Looking at the bench: "Jiang Gu, you come and shoot the next two innings."

"Hi—" Jiang Gu couldn't wait any longer.

Tokai Ohara, who had a hard time defending in the second half of the inning, all the hitters were still thinking about how Takano's pitch would break, when they heard the voice of the broadcast: "Seidou's pitcher has changed, Taka-kun is off, and the one who replaced Taka-kun is Fuguya-kun , Pitcher, Six Bats, Mr. Jiang Gu."

"Huh? It's the first grade again? Does he regard our Donghai Ohara as a sharpening stone for new students?" The fighting spirit that had been sapped by Gao Zhiye was rekindled again.

"I feel that the victory is in sight, so I send another first grader, it's terrible if I don't teach him high school baseball."

"...But, why do I feel a little bit bad."

No matter what everyone in Donghai Ohara is talking about, the hitter standing in the strike zone is nervous at this time, not knowing what kind of style this pitcher is.

"Boom—" A ball shadow galloped towards, and all the sounds disappeared for a second.

"strike"

"What speed is that!"

"There are 150!"

"Another first-year monster."

"This year's Qing Dao is amazing!"

Even the spirits of the audience were shaken, not to mention the scouts from each school, they are busy again, what's going on, good pitchers appear in Qingdao together, let alone Takano, the junior high school is the U15 representative, that Who is Jiang Gu, I have never heard of it.

"Wow——" This is the charm of ball speed. Gao Zhiye looked at the court with cold compresses. He didn't need years of standardized education, no technology, and it didn't matter if he couldn't even hit the strike zone. Ball speed is the most intuitive charm. .For some reason, Takano became a little envious.
