Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 249 Cheng Gongming in Metamorphosis

When the ball came, Xiaochun's whole body seemed to receive a warning message, reminding him of the direction of the next ball.

As a result, it is really the outer corner direction.

"Samurai with a wooden stick!! Kominato Harushi!!" Rong Chun stood in the cowshed and cheered for Xiaochun.

The cheered person was stuck on the base bag with a very serious expression, and he didn't even give his eyes to Eijun.

'Wow, Xiaochun accepted the compliment calmly! 'As Xiaochun's best friend, Lang Zhi can be regarded as the person who knows him best.

At this moment, Xiaochun didn't show any sign of blushing at all. Of course, after the game, when his teammates captured his face when he was hit, the blush would still creep up on that face.

"..." It took more than 10 balls, but he still hit base for this hitter, and judging from the results, it didn't matter what ball Hayakawa called just now. Anyway, it was a single and a walk. first base.

But for both parties, the difference is huge.

Hayakawa was hesitant to go up to comfort the ace, but just as he stood up, a familiar figure walked towards the strike zone out of the corner of his eye, so Narimiya raised his palm to stop the catcher from coming.

Helpless, Hayakawa had no choice but to squat down again. Following his movements, a shadow had already cast on the left strike area.

"You really worked hard, Ming is very willful. At this time, what's the point of accepting the comfort of the catcher?"

Hayakawa was very uncomfortable hearing this, and Miyuki said it as if he was Inashi's catcher, complaining about his own pitcher, "Only one pitcher is needed on the mound, and he can choose when he wants to be appeased .And, it's more important for the catcher to convince the pitcher of the glove behind home plate."

"Haha." At this point, the two catchers were speechless.

"play ball!"

In the last duel, Hayakawa made a match that went against his own habits when Inashi's shots were favorable, and because of this, Miyuki, who knew him very well, suffered a dull loss.

'This time it will not be so easy, we must deal with him effectively, otherwise Qing Dao's aura will last forever. '

In the summer, Nariya Naruto's changeup can't be thrown too much, it can only be used as an introduction.In autumn, he is different. This seasoned changeup can at least last until the end of the game.

'Here, use a straight ball first to test the opponent's intention to steal a base. '

As a pragmatic team, Qingdao often uses small ball tactics, and what often appears together with small ball tactics is base stealing.However, looking at Qingdao's previous game records, it can be found that the probability of Qingdao players stealing bases, especially the probability of stealing second base at first base is much smaller.

Probably only a small number of people, such as Kuramochi and Takano, who walk faster, have a greater possibility.

But here, a straight ball is still required.

Cheng Gongming nodded, he looked towards the direction of the first base, rarely did not throw the ball past, and his eyes did not even contain much emotion.The moment he was kicked out, he cleared his emotions towards the hitter.

Qingdao is a difficult team to deal with, so he can't help being willful on the mound.Self-taught, he figured it out, and the defenders on the field, his catcher partner, the hitters and runners in Qingdao didn't realize that anything had changed.

Only on the sidelines, in the eyes of Superintendent Guoyou, was the unexpected reaction of Ace, 'Is it temporary? '

What everyone focused on was the sudden movement of the pitcher's feet, stepping, twisting body, and swinging the arm, all in one go, directly into the batter's outer corner area.

'Straight ball! 'There's a runner on base, so the first pitch must be the fastest straight ball, but Miyuki hesitates.

So far, Seido has been double-killed 3 times in total. Unfortunately, Miyuki experienced the first time.Because of this, the hits that Qingdao actually made in this game failed to form an effective score.
In the seventh inning, the wheels of the game had already reached Miyuki's chest. This was the first time he faced such great internal and external pressure, so he had to be more cautious.

"Snapped--"

"nice shot!"

As soon as a strike was made, Xiaochun adjusted his foot towards the second base. He needed to steal a base to create a gap for scoring.

Immediately following, is a high inside corner.

"Bad ball!"

After getting a strike number, Inami casts and starts playing hide-and-seek with Miyuki.

Another low outside corner, Miyuki's bat didn't budge.

"Bad ball!"

One good and two bad, the next ball is intriguing.

Red!

When seeing the ball coming, Miyuki, who endured two balls, decided to swing, 'This is rare——'

Immediately afterwards, the ball fell and was about to swing halfway through. Miyuki reflexively pressed the center of gravity of his body down. He couldn't wait for another ball. After two strikes, the whole match would be difficult to guess.Now Miyuki can't pat his chest to guarantee that he knows Hayakawa very well.

"Bump—" I touched it, picked it up, and the direction of the white ball went towards third base.

Very fast, landing directly behind the third baseman.

"Good job, Captain!"

"Miyuki, run!"

"Xiaochun, run!"

"safe!"*2
Currently, this baseball field is very 'safe' for runners.

"time!"

This time Hayakawa didn't wait for the pitcher's reaction and stepped forward.

Cheng Gongming raised his eyes, "The ball just now—"

"It's my ball—" Hayakawa wanted to say something, but was roughly pinned on the top of his head by the other side.

Followed by a lowered voice: "Listen to me!"

"Yeah." Hayakawa shut his mouth obediently.

This made Cheng Gongming feel better, "The ball just now was because I didn't hit the desired position. In this game, for some reason, I have a bad feeling. So next, we must be more careful. "

It's really strange that the ace with eyes above the top would apologize, but Hayakawa is not happy. Normally, this might be a good thing, but now it's a game, so how can you say something so frustrating?

"Hey, don't look at me like that, okay? Since you are the trump card, you have to face various situations of the team, including your own ball being kicked out."

"...well, you can talk now."

Hayakawa nodded, then shook his head again, "Ming-san, now you don't have to worry about runners stealing bases anyway, so you can use your changeup with peace of mind. So—"

"Okay, okay, okay." The pitcher returned to his old ways, showing impatience, but fortunately it was not obvious.

'Ming-sang, really has been growing, even if she has become an ace.His mind is also constantly evolving. '

The catcher squatted back again, and the thoughts in his heart had been emerging from just now.
