Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 185 Weather?weather!
'A changeup? Jiang Gu has no objection. He is the kind of person who becomes more self-conscious when he enters the state. When he didn't throw the ball at the beginning, he basically didn't have any motivation to shake his head, so he honestly put it in the glove and changed it to an OK hand.

Next, the action of the troll's big eight sticks has been imprinted in his mind. This pitcher's pitching rhythm is very fast, so it is necessary to increase the swing speed to the maximum, and strive to hit it quickly when the state is unstable.

The eight-stick plan is to hit the first ball, which can make the pitcher feel the aggressiveness of the hitter, thereby affecting the pitcher's opening state.

The trace of the white ball quickly appeared from behind the pitcher's shoulder, and it was thrown out of his hand in an instant. Eight sticks swung out the bat quickly according to the original rhythm.

But there must be something wrong, 'How come the ball is so slow! '

Immediately, the bat was swung vigorously and only hit a cloud of air on the home plate. The effort that was done in vain led the batter's body to turn half a circle. In Eight Stick's ears, "Changeup?"

"nice shot!"

When it comes to Qingdao's changeup, everyone who is a big troll immediately reacts to the ghostly trajectory. The trajectory of the right-handed pitcher falling to the inside corner of the right hitter has both the difference in speed and the trajectory. Variety.

The changeup that just fell into the valley only has a different speed from the straight ball, and the trajectory of the change is very ordinary, but it is enough. Anyone who is used to the straight ball with a ball speed of about 150, comes to a changeup with a difference of more than ten kilometers. That kind of habit can't be changed.

"Shoot the changeup at the beginning," said Director Nitta, who felt that things were getting troublesome. One more type of ball means more room for distribution.

"Yoshi!" Miyuki made the second signal, after throwing the changeup, the shoulders will not be so hard.

Start hitting the low post on your next ball!

"The outside world!"

"Bad ball!"

Eight sticks can feel that the pitcher's state is not particularly stable. The first ball brushes the upper edge of the strike zone, and the second ball directly deviates from the strike zone. He decided to wait for two more balls to see.

Miyuki frowned. This batsman's strategy was to hit the first ball at the beginning, but now he is watching the ball very carefully. Could it be that he wants to wait for Jiang Gu to blow himself up?

"Bad ball!" The baseballs were thrown from the mound harder and harder than the last, but the hitters ignored them.

"Four bad balls! Walk!" Eight bats went to first base so easily.

"What's wrong, that pitcher blew himself up as soon as he came up!"

"Children, I'm still nervous."

"Hurry up and change the pitcher from just now."

"Eh? What's going on, I just bought a water skill, why did the pitcher mound change?"

All kinds of voices crowded the court like real objects, and the orchestra couldn't suppress the restlessness of the crowd.

Miyuki quickly called a timeout, "What's the matter, Jiang Gu, obviously just now..."

After Jiang Gu raised his head, the catcher quickly stopped talking. The pitcher was already sweating profusely after only playing one inning, "Why? 'Did you sweat so much when you just warmed up?
Miyuki didn't dare to say anything more, but his mind was running crazily.

The problem that has been put aside for a long time, Furutani's poor adaptation to the hot weather, has become a thing on his mind during the preliminaries in West Tokyo. Since when, this important problem has been put aside Woolen cloth?

That's right, since I came to Jiashien, in August this year, the competition in Qingdao was basically held in a cloudy or light rain. Back to normal summer.

The game progressed to the second half of the third inning, and the time came to 11:[-]. In the heat of the sun directly above his head, Miyuki suddenly trembled. He understood the fact, "Perhaps the only pitcher who can resist the troll is Gao Zhi." Wild alone. '

"Wipe off the sweat, it's okay," Miyuki pressed his glove against the pitcher's chest with great strength, "You must relax your shoulders and arms. Believe in yourself. As long as you can relax, the ball will be in its best state. Your strength will have the opposite effect."

Jiang Gu nodded, but how much could he do?

Miyuki didn't dare to show any expression, and immediately put on the mask as soon as he left the mound.

"What's wrong with Fuguya?" Everyone in the bench sensitively sensed that Miyuki was looking at him.

No one dared to guess randomly, until Rong Chun said: "Haha, Xiaochun, look, my brother is secretly fanning the wind."

This sentence shocked Chris, who has always been calm, on the bench, and then he quickly flipped through the previous records, "The first game was cloudy and the temperature was 31°C, the second game was cloudy and the temperature was 30°C, and the third game was Xibang, light rain, light rain in the fourth game, cloudy in the fifth game... the sixth game, today, the highest temperature is 40 ℃." After days of heavy rain, it finally cleared up, and the sun today was unobstructed. Hours, the temperature on the ground will be close to the highest soon.

Needless to say the rest, they recalled that when Koshien's first three matches came out, they also went to check the weather forecast, and saw that in the bad weather, Qingdao could pick the best one every time, How lucky I am.

Director Kataoka frowned deeply. He really couldn't take care of each player's condition, but in this situation, it was undoubtedly his mistake and poor consideration.

The third-year ace has already left the game, and the first-year ace came to the game early. He thought he could take over from Jiang Gu for several innings, but now because of the weather, he may not be able to pitch the ideal number of innings, and the remaining pitchers. . .

With no way out, Kataoka looked to the man in left field.

As time passed, everyone in the stadium seemed to feel something was wrong.

Yuxing didn't dare to call a timeout. He had already called a timeout twice in this round. If he made any more moves, the old fox supervisor on the opposite side would definitely see something. In fact, the troll's big second stick Standing in the strike zone, the first sentence is: "This pitcher is not in very good shape."

"Haha, be merciful." Yuxing thought that in this state, he could no longer utter witty words, but he still underestimated himself.

Bumped and knocked out twice, in the previous game, the first round was unfavorable, and fell into the quagmire of looking for status.

The runners were scrambling at third base, and the troll's big second bat was short.

'To an outside corner! '

Jiang Gu kept telling himself in his heart, 'relax your shoulders, relax your shoulders', but the negative emotions about losing points still made him continue to throw more forcefully.

'Fool!It's sweet! Miyuki watched the ball being covered by the hitter's bat.

"Bump—" was a very crisp sound, hitting the center of the ball, but fortunately the ball was very powerful, and the general only hit a double.

"safe!"*2
With two outs and someone on the second base, the trolls got back a run, and the score came to 2:1, and Qingdao temporarily took the lead.

'what to do? Miyuki cast his eyes on the bench.

Aodoka had no more pitchers to waste, and of course, scores, so Kataoka pointed decisively to left field.

"Notice of player change at Seidou High School...Pitcher, Takano, left fielder, Fubuya."

Gao Zhiye played again, but at this moment he already understood the difficulties he would face in the future, and the timing of Qingdao's change of cast was completely taken away.
