Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 111 The Last Practice Match of the Second Army——He Heitou Pavilion

"Today's opponent is the Heitou Stadium!" The onlookers saw the baseball boys getting off the bus.

"That's right, but today Qingdao is going to be fought by the second army."

"Well, this is also normal, after all, this year's first army defeated many strong schools and won the championship of the Kanto Conference."

On the pitcher's mound in the arena, a teenager was tidying up the ground under his feet. When he looked up, those bright eyes were full of hope for the game. Gao Zhiye promised him that if he could win this game, he would I bought him the next episode of a set of girls' comics that everyone has been circulating recently. I don't know who lost it, which made the girls in the class very unhappy.

Looking left and right, senior Chris was standing on the bench properly, he stared at the past with piercing eyes, but the other party moved his eyes to other places, "Why don't you make a promise, I really want to partner with you!" '

Looking at the sidelines, there was no sign of Gao Zhiye, "What's going on, he didn't come to see it either." '

"Hey, Sawamura! Stop looking around!" Ono-senpai had already reached the mound, but Sawamura didn't even notice.

"Hi! Senior Ono, I sincerely follow your instruction!"

"...What the hell are you thinking? Listen, the opponent this time is no better than last time. Last time you gave up so many hits and not so many runs. It was all because of everyone on defense. Recently your Are you practicing?"

"Hi!"

At this moment, Lang Zhi leaned over from behind and said sinisterly, "You got 14 hits last time!"

Rong Chun was taken aback, "Little brother, when did you come here!"

"Don't worry about it so much. This time, I must be optimistic about my gloves and try to hit the low post. Don't let them play long shots. Leave the rest to the defense."

"Okay! I will let them continue to fight, and everyone who is behind the defense, please take care of me!"

"Too loud!"*2
Lang Zhi rubbed his ears and went back between the second and third bases. He also noticed just now that Gao Zhiye didn't come, and he clearly said that this game is so important. .

"Ah-choo—" Gao Zhiye, who was missed by the two people, sneezed, "Who is missing me?"

"Yeah, maybe it's that guy Sawamura, he told me yesterday that you want to buy him a girl manga."

"Huh?"*2
It's not surprising that Takano was surprised. His mother who was passed down by Sawamura didn't even know his original words, but the reaction of Senior Isashiki on the other side was rather strange.

"Senior Isashiki——"

"Ahem, so, which manga is it?" Isashiki-senpai walked a little closer, his voice lowered a little.

"Is that the recent "Girl's Wish"?"

"Huh? It must be "A Girl's Prayer." Isashiki saw a flash of light in Takano's eyes, and immediately realized that this guy did it on purpose, "You bastard, how dare you lie to the senior here! Strength training for a while, let me help."

"No no, please forgive me, senior. At worst, after I buy it, I will show it to you first."

"Do you think I will forgive you if you say this?"

To sum up, it's not that Takano doesn't want to come, but he really can't get away. He can only linger under the hands of his seniors, hoping that Isashiki will not be so dark.

So when someone comes in and says, "Chris is in the Second Army game!"

As soon as he heard the news, Gao Zhiye looked forward to it, although he was really curious, he rushed out immediately, and just took two steps when he heard another gasp beside him.

"Eh? Miyuki-senpai, why are you so fast?"

"You are not yet."

Gao Zhiye has never seen the level of senior Chris in his heyday. He heard a lot of news about Chris from other people, but when he came to Qingdao, there was only a gloomy person left in front of him, who seemed to be just a There was an empty shell called the legend of Chris, but soon, knocking on the mouth of this empty shell, Gao Zhiye felt the demeanor of the first iron catcher from his understanding of baseball.

"Huh—huh—" when the two arrived.

"out!"

"As soon as that catcher came on, the whole atmosphere changed."

"It only took three balls to solve the situation with no outs and full bases, which is amazing."

Just from the few words of the bystanders, it can be understood that Chris has just solved a very complicated problem with ease.

"Hahaha, it's his style." Yuxing said excitedly while panting.

"Why are you still laughing? If Senior Chris recovers completely, can you keep your spot catcher position?" Although Gao Zhiye knew that people who left the game for a year would hardly be able to return to the first army, but He just wanted to tease the catcher on the opposite side.

"That's just what I want!"

"?!" Gao Zhiye looked at those eyes full of fighting spirit, and was surprised to find that this catcher, who was always fooling around, was telling the truth, 'Wow, are the catchers so passionate? . '

He returned his gaze to Lang Zhi, who was about to run back to the bench. The kid didn't realize that there was a new audience, and was touching gloves with Eijun with a happy face, as if there was no awkwardness between them. of.

"Eh? Miyuki-senpai, didn't you stop watching?" The person standing in front suddenly left.

"I'll go to the cowshed." Miyuki wanted to take a good look at the cooperation between the two.

Just as Takano wanted to keep up, he was caught by senior Isashiki who came from behind: "Do you want to do less, because you ran so fast just now."

"No, I am very interested in the strength of Senior Chris."

"Hehe," Senior Minato smiled, "Even though there is a one-year gap period, the skills are still not lost, as expected of Chris. As a catcher, he has a different style from Miyuki, of course Miyuki is far behind him. gone."

Danbo stood aside, his eyes flickered when he heard Xiao Minato's words, he would never get tired of hearing the sound of a baseball plunging into Chris's mitt, in an instant, the self two years ago seemed to be revived in his body, He smiled and looked at the field, the familiar figure was standing on the strike zone again.

"Touch——" Chris typed, and Takano cheered at the side. He was seriously injured, had a window of one year, and had solid theoretical knowledge. All these constituted the Chris in his eyes, but even so, he couldn't imagine that hey Chris, like someone who has never seen an elephant, told him that an elephant has two palm ears, four pillar-like legs and a weight of several tons, and he still can't imagine an elephant.

The seniors around them are obviously different, their smiles are always on their faces, and the person on the field is their partner.

"Maybe I can come back to join the army."

"Maybe."

This optimistic atmosphere continued to the first mistake of the game. The Heitu Pavilion was obviously adopting tactics that consumed energy, and kept putting out short sticks.

"Are you targeting the pitcher over there? That guy Sawamura has an unstable mentality." Takano frowned.

"Danbo, what do you think?" Captain Yu asked Danbo who had the most similar experience.

"No, it's for the catch, too many passes from Chris—"

As soon as Senior Danbo made his guess, the first-base runner started. This kind of catching second base is the basic skill of a catcher. Chris contributed a wonderful performance with three balls and three outs before. Everyone originally thought that the first-base runner would definitely be caught. Tat at second base.

but--

Chris missed the pass, and Lang Zhi took a quick jump to catch the ball. He broke out in a cold sweat before he could make a touch. If it leaked from his side to the outfield, it might affect his first team.

At this time, everyone finally understood that the trick of the Black Earth Pavilion was to grind the catcher. Chris, who had been away from the team for a year, had even higher theoretical knowledge than a year ago. weaken.

"It's too late to pass to third base!" Someone shouted from the sidelines, but Chris had already passed the ball. In this way, suddenly, from two outs and someone on third base, to one out and one on third base, who is the most surprised Yes, probably Chris himself, 'why would there be such a judgment. . .The most important thing in a game is always the number of outs, but I just had eyes for the runner. .Still being emotional, I didn't catch that runner's second base steal. '

However, he immediately began to adjust his state and boost the atmosphere of the team.

"One out! Infielders pay attention to balls flying by, pitchers focus on batters!"
