Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 269 What Kind of Catcher
In the bus in Qingdao, everyone's happy atmosphere gradually calmed down. After today's end, the next day, it will be the final of the autumn conference.

"Huh—" Gao Zhiye looked at the receding scenery outside the window, and only then did he have time to take stock of his thoughts.

The supervision has been loosened today, and there is a high probability that I will see the doctor the next morning before deciding whether I can play.

After the epiphany, Gao Zhiye is not in a hurry for this situation now. Life is still very long. If he is determined to go to professional baseball, he will have at least 20 years of pitching career. He is less flustered.

On the night when I returned to Qingdao, it was still the pre-match analysis. Senior Abian did his best to turn over the data of the third year in the city.

"...This slider is the winning ball of the city's top three aces. From the angle behind the chief judge, it can be clearly seen that the trajectory is very beautiful."

Everyone found a place and gathered around to watch the opponent's ace pitch.

"Is this kind of pitch really made by someone who retired for half a year?"

Gao Zhiye is a little unbelievable. It should be said that there are really all kinds of geeks in this world. He has only been out of competition for half a month, and his hands are a little inaccurate. This is the result of following the training on time. If it's half a year. . .

And just after the pre-match analysis was over, Director Kataoka made an accurate statement about the starting candidates for the finals.

"Sensei Takashima took Gao Zhiye to have a reexamination just now, and his foot has healed now. Therefore, Gao Zhiye will be the starter in the end."

With a quick swipe, everyone's attention was focused on the people sitting in the back row. Most of them were full of surprises. If the ace could make his debut, the victory this time would be guaranteed.

Of course, there are also the opposite cases. The classmate Jiang Gu who was sitting on the left hand side immediately burned up his fighting spirit, and was suppressed by Gao Zhiye, "Don't worry about burning your fighting spirit, you have thrown too many balls today. Need to rest."

"Oh—" Jiang Gu nodded obediently.

Rong Chun, who was sitting on the right hand side, felt his tense body suddenly limp. After Takano comforted Fuguya, he turned his head to comfort him: "Rong Chun, you performed well today, and you didn't shoot many shots. There is a high probability that it will still play.”

"Hi!" Eijun stood up abruptly, interrupting the words of the supervisor, "General, although you didn't let me start this time, I'm a bit disappointed. But I won't stop making progress——"

Lang Zhi who was next to him covered Rong Chun's mouth, told him to sit down, and by the way, got his hands on Rong Chun, twisting Rong Chun hard twice.

There were tears in Eijun's twisted eyes instantly, no matter how innocent and dull he was at this time, he could feel Lang Zhi's attitude of being far and near, 'Did I do something wrong again? '

Director Kataoka's speech was interrupted, and he quickly returned to the topic: "Miyuki, the most important thing for the team at the moment is the cooperation between you and Takano. Takano, can you adjust your state tomorrow, can you do it? "

"can!"

Takano's voice was very firm.

The supervisor didn't say anything more, "Then disband, and train according to the plan tomorrow."

"Hi!!"

After the meeting, Miyuki leaned closer and stretched out his fist, "Finally I can play again!"

Gao Zhiye shook his fists without any strength, "Yes, what?"

"Sure enough, it feels the best to partner with you." Miyuki thinks that the first step of his change is to chat with the pitcher frankly.

But the other party smiled and shook his head, "No, you just think that I can help you realize the ball distribution plan." He spoke from the perspective of a pure tool man.

"Eh?" Yuxing was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and felt that what the other party said was quite right, "How could it be?" He was still laughing.

Gao Zhiye took a deep look at the catcher, stood up, and prepared to join Lang Zhi and the others at the door, "See you tonight!"

"Haha, see you tonight!" Miyuki turned around and waved his hands, only to see a door slammed shut.

At this moment, the cafeteria was very quiet, and the catcher touched his neck in distress: "It's not good, it's been said all of a sudden." So what kind of an excellent catcher can make pitchers like it?

The post-match summary & pre-match meeting was held after lunch, and it was just before four o'clock. Miyuki thought about it for a while, and made a decision in his heart.

After the sound of the sliding door opening and closing, there was only silence in the cafeteria.

More than half an hour later, near a corner of the third-grade teaching building, Chris saw the figure sitting on the bench with his sight.

"Senior Chris! Here." Miyuki handed a can of coffee to the senior who was about to retire but still had to solve the psychological problems of his juniors.

"What's the matter? You called me here suddenly. Aren't you guys going to the autumn finals the day after tomorrow?" Chris and the others watched all the games today, and were very pleased with the rapid growth of the juniors.

"Ah, so, what should the catcher do to make the pitcher like him?" Miyuki had a complicated heart, so as soon as Senior Chris sat down, he hit a straight ball.

"Huh?" The senior didn't expect such a question, but he didn't ask the specific reason. "Hmm—" He dragged his voice out, and then laughed as if he was stumped, "It's such a complicated question."

"Even Chris-senpai thinks so. But the pitchers seem to like you."

"If you really want to analyze it, different identities, seniors, peers, and juniors, different personalities, extroverted, calm, and introverted, all in all, the analysis of this problem will be very complicated. But in practice, it is very simple."

Miyuki turned around and listened carefully.

"It's simple, it's a heart for a heart. The worst thing for a catcher is to be used as a catcher's net, and the worst thing for a pitcher is to be used as a serve machine. Both sides need to be treated with total respect. It will be more difficult, depending on your purpose, do you want to keep in touch with the pitcher after graduation? Or do you just need to match up in high school?"

Having said that, Senior Chris's expression suddenly became sharp.

"But Miyuki, you are different from ordinary catchers. Now, as the catcher, batman and captain of the team, you need to understand that the top priority is to lead everyone to victory. Use this top priority to frame all behaviors, maybe you don't You need to communicate with all pitchers, but you need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of all pitchers, guide their strengths, help them out of the predicament, and achieve a "heart-to-heart" in pitching. Miyuki, your style is the same as mine It’s different, you just need to stick to your own path and go on.”

Chris's words were both stern and gentle, Miyuki once again understood the gap between himself and him.

It's all over!

"Hahaha," Miyuki buried his head and laughed.

"What's wrong?" Chris was a little uncomfortable, afraid that what he said was too harsh.

The younger generation rubbed the corners of his eyes with tears from laughter, "No, it's nothing. Maybe there are too many things going on recently, and I don't think clearly. But now I understand what kind of captain and catcher I want to be. "
