Chapter 135 Takano's 'Pitching Cheats'

In the fourth inning, Eijun, who finally won another chance to play officially, almost cried with joy on the mound, and was kicked on the ass by Kuramochi before returning to normal.

'Take advantage of your position and remember to throw low. Miyuki patted the ground with his gloves.

Eijun nodded, then threw the ball, "Now it's Chapter 4 of Sawamura Legend, on the way to Koshien, a boy—eh? '

Before Eijun finished his inner monologue, the ball flew to the hitter inexplicably.

"Well!"

"Hit!" the batter dropped his bat and ran to first base amidst the panicked eyes of the pitcher.

"Sawamura! What the hell are you doing?!"

"Don't panic."

It was the first time he appeared on such a big scene in high school. The voices from all directions made the rookie pitcher panic for a while, and he was beaten by the seniors in the infield before he returned to normal.

'Second hitter, don't shoot too high this time. Didn't Gao Zhiye teach you how to handle the ball? 'Miyuki's glove is lower than the outer corner, of course, that guy may not necessarily throw it here.

Eijun nodded, forcing himself to recall Takano's demon training.

half a month ago.

"Huh? Let me teach them how to shoot accurately?" At this time, Gao Zhiye was still teaching them how to throw the changeup.

"Yeah, it's not good for them to learn the changeup now, you know, it's very difficult to even the most basic shot in the strike zone, let alone the others."

But since it was Senior Chris' request, Takano couldn't refuse.

In fact, the method was studied when Kinoshita was in the Little League. Like any learning method in the world, there is a word called the law of 1 hours of learning. It refers to one thing. From a rookie to an expert, it takes 800 hours of learning. Actually, it's about [-] hours or so.

But this learning must be deliberate practice, that is, you can’t use your brain to increase the number of exercises mechanically, but to clarify the goal. Every time you practice, you must find out the shortcomings of this time. Divide the climbing road into 2 steps. Every time you lift your foot, you must raise it a little, this kind of practice will work.

Therefore, his training for the two rookie pitchers does not include too many pitches, and even requires at least 1 minute to throw a ball, but each pitch must remember the current feeling, if this time If the shot is more accurate than last time, it means that the feeling is right this time, and then continue to correct the feeling until you can hit the strike zone.

"Throwing too many balls at one time will cause injury, and if it is serious, it will cause yips~" This is what Coach Fujii told him at the time, and he has now passed it on to Senior Chris, "The most important thing for a pitcher is the feeling of pitching, so training is also important. It’s just the feeling of training, although if you throw more balls, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, but we don’t have time now, so let’s directly grasp the essential improvement.”

But instead of pursuing quantity, only pursuing quality training, for the two pitchers, it was simply torture. The ball they threw casually was stared at by Takano's microscope-like eyes, "Hey, is the elbow a little higher?" , you see the ball is higher again this time."

Even thinking about it now, it's very scary, Eijun trembled on the mound, "It feels, yes, quickly recall that feeling."

"bump--"

"nice shot."

With that stance, coupled with the occasional tricky pitch, in this inning, except for the first pitch, the next three hitters quickly struck out.

"Not bad." After the game, Takano rubbed Eijun's head through the hat. It seemed that he was not affected by the drop just now. No matter how he thought about it now, he couldn't help it. The important thing is that after today's game, Hurry up to apologize to the supervisor, show your sincerity, and just don't affect your appearance in the next game.

"Hmph," Rong Chun's tail almost curled up after being praised.

But in the next second, "Kominato Haruichi, you're here to hit, and in the next inning, Kawakami, you're here to pitch."

"Ah, I only threw one round..." Gao Zhiye took away Rongchun, who was neither big nor small, covering his mouth.

"The supervisor wants to take the opportunity of the official game to familiarize you with it, so don't complain. If it weren't for the weak team in today's game, you haven't had the chance to play yet."

Eijun thought about this for a while, "Then, the team will get stronger and stronger in the future, so I still have a chance."

"Hear the truth, I don't know the truth, but as the opponent gets stronger, your two strikes will become less and less effective." Speaking of this, Gao Zhiye noticed that Eijun's emotions were obviously fluctuating , "So, if there is a chance, it will be like today, with only one or two innings. What about you, don't have the opening situation again, throw one ball and one less ball, and perform well on every ball, today That's good, didn't you win the opportunity to perform?"

"Hi! Brother, I will work hard!"

In the second half of the fifth inning, with Captain Yuki's home run, Aodo scored another 2 points, 5 points in 11 innings, and won the second game easily.

After the game ended, it was noon, and many spectators had already left the stadium. After all, the following game was not a duel between prestigious schools, and the protagonist of the game just now—all members of Qingdao, had already gathered in the shade outside the stadium.

"After finishing the exercise, go to the auditorium to eat, and watch the third game." The game in a while will determine the opponent of Zhou Qingdao next week.

Chris sat near the pitcher and introduced the pitcher to the two Baimu freshmen. After all, let them watch it for themselves, and they may not be able to see the strength after watching one game.

"Yang Shunchen, sophomore, Taiwanese, characterized by precise ball control called 'precision machinery'." Chris had just finished speaking, but was interrupted by Rong Chun: "Ah——Taiwanese! Ball control ! My lord brother, is it possible that you two know each other?"

Gritting his teeth, Gao Zhiye said, "How is this possible, idiot! China is so big!"

"Doesn't shoot changeups often, but often uses curveballs and crossballs to get good numbers, ball speed in the early 130s, accurate ball control, can knock out hitters with diagonal straight balls, very good in every sense A great pitcher." Chris was not angry when he was interrupted, and continued.

"Then next time our pitcher is—"

"Probably Gao Jun, self-aiming missiles VS precision machinery, why do you feel so passionate?"

"Senior Chris, please forgive me. It's hard for everyone to forget this title." Gao Zhiye begged for mercy, but he began to secretly force himself in his heart. Without him, in a foreign country, he met a fellow with the same aspirations. , always have a close heart, "After the game next Wednesday, do you want to add him as a friend, I feel that there is a lot to talk about. . '

After observing the entire game, everyone in Qingdao probably had a general understanding of Ming Chuan's team. It is basically a kingdom built around Yang Shunchen. This pitcher is not only the center of defense, but also the center of offense. It is related to him, and in the shooting relationship, he is still the one in the leading position.

"How many deformed teams, this person's talent is really not to be underestimated." Before the end of the game, Gao Zhiye looked at the pitcher on the bench again, "But, a team like yours will never make it. In the end, how could it be possible for one person to deal with Hao Qiang? I am tired after walking here, so let's stop. '
