Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 169 Three Ups and Three Downs
In the current studio, some people have also noticed this.

"Ah, this swing, I guessed completely wrong what the ball was."

"Apparently yes, Xibang was probably waiting for a straight ball, but the first pitch was a changeup."

"Well, if it's a straight ball, the position is indeed similar. Takano-kun of Seido, the quality of the straight ball is quite high, the speed is almost on the edge of a professional, and he is only a first-year."

"By the way, let me explain to you why the speed of rotation is very important in baseball. This involves knowledge related to fluid mechanics—" In the studio, the anchor began to explain why pitching is more powerful in wet weather In practice on the field, Gao Zhiye really felt that this kind of weather that "neither condenses into water droplets nor gathers to flow down" allowed him to handle the ball better.

Correspondingly, Yibang felt the power of the inside corner kick that was being discussed in the Xibang bench. The ball was like sitting down an elevator. The speed was not affected by the distance between the mound and the home plate. Still so straight to the door, he couldn't help swinging his stick to resist.

"The outside world!"

Even though he was swinging the bat as hard as he could, he still couldn't keep up with the rhythm, because it was the first time he faced such a straight ball, and the action pattern formed in his subconscious was to let him hit the ball under the sight of the ball, but this swing Against this ball, it can only be wiped to the lower edge and hit out of bounds.

'The position is about half a ball higher than the premonition', this is the conclusion drawn by a stick, but the conclusion will not help him in his next swing.

After a fierce inside corner kick, it was a slow slider from the outside corner, one fast and one slow, one inside and one outside, which completely deformed the batter's posture.

"Three outs, switch sides!"

Immediately after the end of a stick, he reported his feelings to Superintendent Nishiji.

"Well," the supervisor nodded, and then turned to the players on the bench who were getting ready, "You heard that, the straight ball can only be hit from the distance of half a ball up."

"Hi——" In fact, everyone can really experience this when they get to the strike zone, and the number of rounds left in the game is limited, so they don't give them time to adapt at all.

"Yoxi, then, next, don't think about hitting. Everyone takes back their attention to me and concentrate on defending. We are only one point away now. Hold down and score a point. This is what we want in the future." made."

'Don't need too many points, just one point? 'Dragging into extended innings, looking for holes, that's all they can do.

"Hi!"

But the situation became dangerous after Seido's eighth bat Hakushu hit a single hit. Having already experienced a round of Hakusan's pitching in Seido, Masuko Goku hit a single without hesitation. Sakai failed in a bunt. At this time, it was already a man on second base. Hakushu added another hit, and the situation became two outs and one man on third base, and it was Takano's turn to nine.

Gao Zhiye, who made his first batting debut in this game, is not yet familiar with Baishan's pitching, but it does not prevent him from showing his strength.

"Touch——" Gao Zhiye and the ball's eyes are like eagles, but after all, he is still not familiar with the pitching rhythm. He hit the bat a little late, and as soon as he hit it, he felt that something was wrong. Looking at the ball The ball went high and far, over the infield, over the outfield, and finally angled farther and farther and landed in the stands just out of bounds in right field.

"Pity!"

Xibang was relieved when he shot, and his heart was relieved just now. There are people on the first and third bases, and only one out is needed. Instead of risking a confrontation with this pitcher who hits a super long out-of-bounds, it is better to let him go. Hit base and grab the next guy.

"Bad ball!"

On the last ball, Gao Zhiye judged that it was a bad ball and did not hit a stick.

"Guide!"

As a result, the bases were full with two outs, whether Qingdao could score, including the inside and outside of the director room, all the pressure was given to a stick Kuramochi in an instant.

"Cheetah, the cheetah of Qingdao! Run!" The unseemly support from the sidelines can no longer be heard by Kuramo. , or taking advantage of the rain intensifying at that time, the infielder dealt with the gap that slowed down, and ran to first base.

"Come on!" He stood on the strike zone, looking like he really wanted to swing a big ball, but in fact he was very anxious and uncertain, "We must hit it out, there is only one point difference now, the pressure on the pitcher too big. '

But self-confidence is a thing that comes out of practice. It is composed of successful experiences. If you do one thing, you succeed, and you do another thing, and you succeed again. Self-confidence is naturally established. .

When there is very little successful experience all the time, it is actually the world telling you, 'Don't be confident', Kuramochi is now on the verge of inferiority complex, especially after arriving at Koshien, the teams and pitchers he faces have obviously improved. When the others could keep up, he had faintly started to fall behind.

Xibang's shooting has seen through the hitter's strong outside and hard work. Now for them, the most important thing is to control the ball in the infield, or simply strike out three balls.

On the first ball, sliding the ball from the outside corner, the tense muscles of Cangji did not bring him more strength, but hindered his normal performance.

"nice shot!"

'Damn, what a daring couple, if the slider misses, we can just score a point. '

However, what lay in Cang Chi's heart was another answer. It wasn't that he was very confident in shooting and arresting, but that they had figured out his details and thought that they could deal with him in this way.

"The batter is out!"

Kuramochi hit a ball and wanted to try to run to first base again, but the sand resistance in front of the home plate increased at this moment, and he didn't jump a few times. The catcher directly tagged and killed Masuko who was forced to enter the base.

"Ah——" It's a pity that the voices were scattered in the audience, but they became a tsunami rushing towards Kuramochi. He lowered his head and ran quickly to the bench.

"It's a pity, Qingdao lost a chance to fill the bases." In the director's room, it was also a pity.

And in far away Tokyo, many enemy teams had already turned on the TV in advance to observe Seido's performance in Koshien, and when they saw this place, they felt regretful at the same time.

"This place! If it was Karl Rose, this problem would not have occurred at all!" The main players who were tweeted together began to suffer from Naruto's high-pitched torture after Takano's debut. Hearing what he said was completely different from the game. Irrelevant things, such as "That guy's expression is too smug", or "Look, this guy is our strong enemy when he looks back, let me watch this guy's pitching carefully!", and so on.

"Hahaha, the problem of Qingdao's line-up has also been exposed a little bit. After the autumn center's line-up has left, can they still be called a super line-up?" Pharmacist's supervision has already begun to gear up, and they will show up at the autumn conference. , rub Qingdao against the ground.

Others, such as the city juniors and other main players, all want to see how far this team representing West Tokyo can go, including the Kinoshita Little League. The summer is too hot. Watching the game in the video room is a good choice. Give them Looking at the performance of last year's seniors in high school can be a good motivation to learn baseball.
