Chapter 12 Practice Match

practice match

Gao Zhiye did not participate in the afternoon training, and coach Yoshioka took him to a series of detailed tests.

"Gao Jun, the results of the bone density test in the morning have come out. It is 0.2. All in all, it is at a very low level. I have sent the detailed report to your parents. I believe they can understand it. , it is predicted that when the sutures are closed, your height will be around 1 meters."

Gao Zhiye finished the strength test of the lower limbs, gritted his teeth and grasped the strength value, and panted to see Coach Yoshioka record the value: "Sure enough, the previous sprint exercise is very good for your lower limbs and waist and abdomen muscles. If you do more exercise, your upper body strength may be relatively weak."

Coach Yoshioka put down the folder, "Come on, let's test your bench press before you get tired."

In two classroom-sized strength training rooms, there are only coach Yoshioka, Takano and Shibazaki. Shibazaki is concentrating on muscle recovery exercises, and only Takano's deep breath echoes in the empty classroom.

The strength test of the upper limbs includes grip strength, bench press, pull-up, push-ups, pull-ups, etc. The flexibility test includes sitting, forward bending, static stretching, etc. After doing a series of exercises, Coach Yoshioka came forward to test Muscle dimensions after adequate strength training.

"Then the next step is to measure your heartbeat recovery speed. Simply put, it is to see how many seconds it takes for your heartbeat to calm down to the normal range after your heartbeat reaches its highest level."

This project is a simple box jumping. When Takano was out of breath, he was dragged out by Coach Yoshioka.

After testing all the items, Coach Yoshioka was sorting out, and the sound of actual combat training outside also started, Gao Zhiye stood at the door and looked at the tense peers outside: "Coach Yoshioka, this test is done every week. Do you want it all once?"

"Once a month, mainly to see if the training effect of this month has been achieved."

"Then how much do I have to achieve for each indicator to complete this month's goal?" Gao Zhiye thought of the monthly weight goal that Coach Ninomiya wrote to him.

"No, Gao Jun, as a pitching coach, our work goals are only result indicators. For you now, the result goal we need to track every month is your ball speed, and all other strength indicators are process indicators. If you've got the power but the ball speed isn't getting the end result, then we're going to see if there's something else going on."

"So what is my ball speed goal for this month?"

"For this month, there is only the last week left, so you only have the goal of increasing 1KG at the end of the month. Our goal for your ball speed is to increase to about 4 within 130 months. In these 4 months, your weight goal is to increase 7KG. "

"Huh—" Gao Zhiye leaned on the door frame, feeling that the next 4 months might be very busy 4 months, and the new semester will start soon. While adapting to the school study, he must also adapt to the team's practice, but this It's good to get busy.

After the training on this day, we will gather and announce some important announcements as usual.

One is that the autumn Kanto Conference will draw lots next month, and the other is to prepare for the conference. On the weekend of the last week of August, the Kinoshita Junior League will have a practice match with the Edogawa Junior League.

Although Gao Zhiye understood that the Kanto Conference had nothing to do with him, he still couldn't help asking Hayakawa about the situation.

"In the summer conference, our team played on behalf of West Tokyo. In the end, we were defeated in three rounds, and the next level was reorganized relatively early. The Marugame Little League team in East Tokyo won the national championship last year."

"I haven't seen the seniors coming over much."

"Of course, the club already has a lot of people."

"Then this Kanto Conference is just a competition in the Kanto region?"

"Yes, there will be relatively fewer games in the Little League. Generally, they are only games within the league or within the branch. We are the Kanto League of the Little Senior League (Youth League). In the Kanto League, we belong to the West Tokyo branch. Just now The Edogawa Little League that the coach said belonged to the East Tokyo branch."

Gao Zhiye was hit by Hayakawa on the shoulder: "Don't relax, before the competition, there will be a lot of training matches for the first and second armies, maybe you can also play."

Shaking his head, his two brushes were for feeding people, Gao Zhiye didn't speak.

For the next week, he had a very fulfilling life. After eating every day, his whole body was sore and weak and he fell on the bed. Lang Zhi was less energetic than him, and even took a bath. He couldn't eat. Extra meal.

Occasionally, Takano would be woken up by a short man, and put a bowl of chicken soup on the table, saying that it was an extra meal from his mother, and he answered in a daze, and when he closed his eyes, it was another morning, and a layer of oil floated on the forgotten chicken soup .

Sometimes Gao Zhiye woke up in a daze, and looked at the watch that it was already twelve o'clock, but there was a voice downstairs, as if it came from another world or from the other side of the river, which always made him feel unreal.

If the new semester is not about to start, Gao Zhiye will not turn on the computer, and he will not see the emails sent to him by his former classmates, because the former mobile phone number has been canceled and QQ has not been used for a long time , only this mailbox is his tool for receiving emails, and he occasionally checks it.

The email was very long, and it was sent by a senior who practiced track and field together. The whole article talked about the future of the graduates of the track and field team or the people Gao Zhiye knew well. In the city's No. [-] middle school, so-and-so went to No. [-] middle school. People in Gao Zhiye's class are now in the third year of junior high school, but a few of them were repeated because of a fight. Something happened to a class next to Gao Zhiye's, and they were expelled because of puppy love. The National People's University kissed in the back garden of the school at noon, and the dean caught him. A certain teacher finally got married. In front of the students, he cried happily at the wedding, but in short, everyone has My own story of the year.

In the end, the senior sister talked about why he came out of the MLM and didn’t come back, where did he go, etc. At that time, she heard about it from someone who was drunk, so she called to report, saying that she was careful before graduation , I dare not say that I hit 110.

Gao Zhiye looked at the sending time, it was at the end of June. Thinking about it, he probably just finished the senior high school entrance examination. Gao Zhiye had to react for a long time before switching channels in his mind. Come back, oh, the No. 6 Middle School in the city is the best high school, and the No. [-] Middle School is the second best. He once wanted to go to the No. [-] Middle School as a special student, so why are they all so unfamiliar.

Gao Zhiye thought for a while, but he didn't ask Shen Qing if there was such a thing. He thought about the name of that senior, and slowly remembered her face. He didn't say where she went, but she was all asking about the people around Gao Zhiye. He vaguely noticed something, and replied to the email in his hand, saying that he had come to Japan with his mother, and he might not go back to school again. Thank you by the way.

Close the computer, maybe he won't reply to the senior sister's email in the future, just pretend that he didn't receive it, after all, there is a sea across the sea, and the email may fall in it.

In the afternoon of the next day, Kinoshita Club, which was undergoing the final training camp, finally ushered in the weekend game against the Edogawa Little League. Takano was wearing a team uniform with his name embroidered on it and looked at the strange teenagers who were crowded on the side of third base.

Hayakawa explained several powerful members of the other side.

Gao Zhiye was next to him, and he felt itchy when he heard it, "We're not playing anyway, do you want to catch my ball?"

"Eh? But you've already thrown enough balls today."

"But I still want to practice a few high-speed straight balls."

"Pitch prohibited, wait, where are you going?"

"I'm a little hungry, I'll go to the supermarket to buy something to eat."

"I'm with you..." Gao Zhiye was speechless when he heard this.

"Hayakawa-kun, please warm up Nozawa-senpai." Hayakawa Akira just turned around and agreed, and Takano had already slipped away.

Gao Zhiye, who had slipped away, turned around at the door, because the first army was playing today, and other people were watching from the side of the playground. At the corner of the street next to the club, there is a small park, the terrain is slightly higher, and the playground can be seen through the trees and the fence, so that even if he gathers, he will not miss it.

He began to practice throwing by blocking the net. His throwing posture has just been corrected, and his shot has also been changed. Originally, when he shot, the angle between Takano’s arms was about 90 degrees. After correction, it is now about 130 degrees. Even more flat, with his lower body movement that slows down and makes full use of the body's rotational force, the ball speed has reached about 123.

At the same time, this kind of shot gave him room to dial the ball. After training, there is no difference in the pitching action of straight balls with different speeds. However, he still needs more practice. The upper limit of 80 balls per day is limited in club Hayao Chuanqiu was watching, and Lang Zhi was watching at home. Only now that they were both busy, he could secretly practice more.

An ordinary straight ball came first, and Takano marked the impact of the block.

Then the high-speed straight ball, the same release point, the feeling of aiming at this time is still the original position, but through the final finger-touching action, the ball is thrown half a ball above the mark.

In order to consolidate the impression, he took another five or six normal straight balls to stabilize the aiming feeling, and then five or six high-speed straight balls, which were very good and basically stabilized in one position.

'Then there is a low-speed straight ball', while Takano was still thinking about it, a voice came from the other side of the trees not far away.

"These two different straight balls, can you control their landing points?"

Gao Zhiye, who was interrupted, heard the human voice at first, and thought it was being captured by the team, but after a closer look, it was a boy with glasses in normal clothes, and he repeated the question again with a smile.

Gao Zhiye did not answer, and continued to focus on the low-speed straight ball. The ball was thrown and landed below a normal straight ball. It was 'very good' and fell beautifully at the end.

"Changeball?" The glasses kid over there didn't receive a reply, and didn't feel embarrassed, but walked up to watch.

"No, it's still a straight ball." After Gao Zhiye threw another ball, the opponent asked himself.

Gao Zhiye originally just had itchy hands and wanted to consolidate his pitching in the morning. Now that he met an inexplicable person, he didn't want to stay here anymore. He picked up the ball and wanted to leave, but the glasses boy over there stopped him.

"My name is Miyuki Kazuya. I'm a catcher. Can I catch your ball?" He asked with a smile.

"Which team do you belong to?" Gao Zhiye asked warily.

"Ah, anyway, it's a low-level team. The team is full of pitchers who don't listen to advice, so there's nothing you can do if you always lose." On the opposite side, Miyuki also put on a wry smile, "I'm Kinoshita. As for the fans, as a viewer, I have always wanted to catch your pitches in person."

"Oh, but I've already thrown enough balls, and now I'm sneaking out to shoot. If I come out for too long, I'm sure the coach will find out. I'm sorry." Gao Zhiye looked at this person of similar age, vigilant And say it politely.

"So can I add an email address?"

Takano touched his trouser pocket reflexively, and replied, "Sorry, I left my phone in the training room, so I'm leaving first."

Under the gaze of Coach Ninomiya, Gao Zhiye realized that everyone in the Second Army was sitting neatly on the lawn near the first base to watch the game, so they also squeezed inside in a cold sweat.

At this time, the game has reached the second inning, Kinoshita is defending, and Nozawa-senpai is on the field. He is in excellent condition, and Takano's spirit has not yet settled down. There has been a strikeout on the field, and the next is the seventh bat , Takano's line of sight followed the strike preparation area, and saw the opposite bench, and then saw a person standing outside the bench, noticed Takano's line of sight, and grinned and waved this way.

Gao Zhiye quickly lowered his head, oh my god, the man in regular clothes and glasses just now turned out to be the person opposite, why didn't he wear the team uniform, and at the same time he suspected that he hadn't leaked information just now. . .Bar?

　Finally let Miyuki appear on the stage, sprinkle flowers~
