Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 154 Two pitchers face off again
"Crackling." When the team left the field, the two pitchers looked at each other again, and there seemed to be lightning in the air between them.

"Afterwards, let's see whose pitcher collapses first. I didn't expect this game to turn into a pitching battle. Can Narimiya resist Qingdao's pitching wheel war?" The commentator said, but his position seemed to shift to Qingdao's side .

"Yes, Qingdao has now rotated to the No.3 pitcher, and there are two pitchers registered in their roster. Judging from the previous game videos, the characteristics of these five pitchers are different." Another A commentator added, "However, they are facing Narimiya Naruto, who has lost 0 points before this game and currently has the title of No. [-] pitcher in Kanto. Who will win? Please don't leave the audience——"

The game came to the eighth inning. In the previous 14 and a half innings, the two teams only had a change of 1 point. From this score, we can see the intensity of the game.

Cheng Gongming returned to the third base side bench. At the entrance, Superintendent Guoyou said coldly: "After that, follow the catcher's instructions completely and go all out. We don't have the capital to enter the extended inning."

"I understand." After being washed away by exhaustion and sweat, Ace Daoshi became more energetic.

"Ming, we will call out."

"Ming, stick to this round, there are still two chances to strike."

In the ninth game, it was still the center's turn to play the line, and that was Daoshi's last chance.

Of course, it is the same for Qingdao, they start with seven sticks in eight innings.

"Down the valley! Come on."

"Jiangu, consume a few more balls!" In the words, Qingdao's target against Daoshi's pitcher was already on the table.

Cheng Gongming on the mound only had the catcher's glove in his eyes. The later he got to the later stage, the more he couldn't be flustered. He couldn't forgive himself for his big shot last year, which ruined the summer of the third-year senior.

'This guy hasn't seen Naruto's changeup yet, but he must be on guard right now. "Harada thought about the arm strength that the downhill can hit far out of bounds." At this time, the shot must be lower. '

Harada's glove tapped lightly on the ground, of course, the slight sound was not heard by Furuya, but he was instilled in his mind by the captors just now.

"Feng Gu, listen up. Don't worry about that pitcher's changeup. He probably can't throw too much in a game, otherwise it will cause the ball to go high. So, you just need to aim for one pitch and wait."

"Huh? What ball are you waiting for? It's up to you to judge for yourself. Follow your sense of the ball."

'My sense of the ball? "Qing Gu on the strike zone, I still don't want to understand this matter, so I can only wait for the straight ball first.

The pitcher pitched the ball, and his ball speed didn't decrease at the end of the game. Instead, it tended to become more and more violent. When Jiang Gu saw the ball was shot, he didn't have time to judge whether it was the ball he was waiting for, so he swung the bat directly.

Seeing the batter's unhesitating action, Harada was shocked, "The swing is so decisive, isn't this guy affected by the changeup at all? Obviously, all the hitters in the last inning were interrupted by the changeup at the beginning, so it's possible that he passed the bench." Should I give up the changeup entirely? It's troublesome. . '

In the blink of an eye, the ball flew upside down.

"Bump—" hit a foul ball beyond the base line.

"The outside world!"

Harada stood up and passed the new ball back to Narimiya Ming. When he squatted down, he had already formed a new strategy in his mind, "If you don't have any concerns about the changeup, then what kind of pitch are you waiting for? With such a clean swing, you are waiting." It's a straight ball. '

At this time, Jiang Gu was completely unaware that he had been seen through.

In the end, he was directly lured out by a fingering ball, "There is no straight ball at all." After being struck out, Jiang Gu woke up after realizing it.

"The signal of you waiting for the straight ball is too strong, and the opponent's catcher is also experienced in many battles. This level of concealment can be seen through at a glance." Then Senior Chris nodded, and Jiang Gu nodded obediently, but his heart became more and more serious. I think the position of the catcher is terrible. After all, how do they judge the intention of the hitter?
"Eight sticks, Mr. Baizhou." The voice of the radio was reduced to the back video of Chris teaching him, and after the two of them had discussed it for a few words, they suddenly saw an extra person standing next to them.

"Senior Baizhou, when?"

"...Just now." After completely letting go of his vigilance on the changeup, the hitter's task became to hit the bat after two strikes, but this intention was also seen through by the pitcher. After a few balls, Baizhou Squeezed by an inside corner kick to swing, "That person's ball power is still undiminished, even stronger than in the first inning. The opponent has been retaining strength from the beginning."

"Maybe this is the way Daoshi chose to deal with Qingdao's pitching rounds."

"Two outs already..."

Everyone turned their attention to the man in the strike zone, Gao Zhiye, who appeared as Nine Sticks.

I don’t know when this freshman year has been expected to be more than an ace. Obviously, at the beginning of this season, Danbo, as a third-year pitcher, was regarded as an ace pitcher by everyone. But now, the question is starting to get ambiguous.

To put it simply, when a pitcher assumes more responsibilities than the set expectation and performs well, when he takes on the responsibilities of the ace bit by bit, he will gradually snatch a part of the ace status.

On the bench, Danbo, who was applying ice, clenched his fists, and kept thinking about the good shots he threw in the game, and he was shot out, and was rescued by the defense again and again, "Damn it, I'm not What kind of ace pitcher, the supervisor, everyone, the most trusted pitcher, has slowly become Gao Zhiye. '

As for Gao Zhiye, who has attracted everyone's attention, he is not feeling well in the strike zone at the moment, and he is constantly being attacked from the corners. Ball really doesn't like it at all.

"Ming, this pitcher's arm strength is no worse than that of the previous one, so he must be very cautious. ' Harada kept reminding the opposing pitcher at home plate.

Narimiya nodded. In fact, when he watched the video tape, he felt that Takano's strike action was very outstanding, not the kind in "Koshien funny strike preparation action". From the very beginning when he came to the strike zone, he It is very stable, almost one step in, and it doesn’t shake much or make some small movements to clean up the feet. When the bat is raised, it is lifted, and it will not shake over there to interfere with the pitcher. Lift your left foot high to block the inside corner, but like now——

Gao Zhiye saw the pitcher's arm behind him, as if he heard the sound of the starting gun, raised his left foot slightly but kept it on the ground, twisted his body backwards, and at the same time followed the white light closely with his eyes, "follow it Come on, keep up! 'This is the ball Takano was waiting for. In the second half of the game, it is very difficult to use corners to get the batter out. Improving the ball control requires physical strength, so Narimiya must have a bad control situation occurs.

When the ball was approaching the home plate, the hitter, who was ready to go, released the energy accumulated in his whole body. The sound of breaking through the home plate was heard, followed by the crisp sound of "touch".

　I went to dinner tonight, because the director said that if there are less than ten people, we will give a subsidy of 800 yuan, and if there are more than ten people, we will all be covered, so the rest of us are equivalent to going out to Haidilao to eat. It's already more than [-], I hope she will reflect on the loopholes in the rules
