Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 270 The Trajectory of the Sliding Ball

That night, Gao Zhiye came to the indoor training ground as agreed. He had already done a lot of strength training in the afternoon, and the muscles that wrapped the bones were the most reassuring existence for him.

"Yo~ Takano."

The pitcher raised his eyes and saw that the catcher was coming very cheerfully, and even the way of greeting became jumpy.

"Is there something good for you? Miyuki-senpai."

Senior Yuxing's good mood probably came from cheating his peers and mocking his juniors, so who suffered?

"That's not true." Miyuki knelt down and immediately entered the state, "How do you want to practice today?"

"Just practice the straight ball."

Because the straight ball is his lifeline, the speed brings the power of the ball, and the accuracy brings pressure. If there is only such a little time to prepare, he chooses to practice the straight ball.

Lifting his legs and striding, throwing the ball, he remembers the feeling of each ball when he throws it, and observes the final performance of each ball to calibrate the ruler in his heart.

"Nice!" Miyuki received one ball after another, obviously feeling that Takano is constantly improving, "The speed of the last ball is already close to the previous level!"

"Huh—" But Gao Zhiye was already tired at this time, "Continue tomorrow!"

On the last day, there was still a circle of people taking pictures or watching the excitement around the bullpen, but it was much less than when Jiashien just ended.

"It's the final again." Gao Zhiye's heart was only the sound of the baseball being thrown into the glove, but it was very peaceful.

In late October, the Tokyo Metropolitan Autumn Conference came to an end.

"There seem to be a lot more people today than last time." Rong Chun looked around restlessly, he was active because he might play today, while Jiang Gu next to him looked listless.

"Senior Chris said that he wants to watch our game, so you have to perform well." Gao Zhiye took the opportunity to suppress the other party's excitement.

"Hi!!" It turned out to be even more excited?Just like a puppy without a leash.

And after he complained about Eijun's excitement, he slowly walked towards the mound with No. 1 on his back, watching the mound approaching gradually, waves of electricity kept flowing on his back, and adrenaline surged in every blood vessel inside.

' Started again. '

Gao Zhiye said to himself in his heart, 'the good and the bad have all been experienced.This time, don't panic like a novice. '

"play ball!"

After the referee gave the order, the pitcher immediately got ready and threw his first ball.

The white ball hits and goes straight into the inner corner. The illusion of floating upward makes the hitter intuitively choose to avoid it.

"Pa --" the ball went into the glove, just hitting the high position of the inner corner.

"nice shot!"

"Nice!" The ball was thrown very well, exactly where Miyuki's glove was placed. This long-lost accuracy made the catcher get goosebumps again, "One or two are both amazing!" '

At this time, the third-year hitters in the city finally realized that the so-called "strike zone is four lines" means that the pitcher can only throw the ball to the four lines of the strike zone, and the other areas are especially red. The area near the middle is a completely cold area for his pitching.

' Not good, such a pitch. . . '

The second ball hit, and it reached the far sideline of the outer corner, and the hitter slammed into the air again.

"nice shot!"

' So unique, this pitcher's pitch. . '

When many pitchers can't understand the inside corner, this pitcher has been able to completely control the range of his strike zone.This kind of contrast is like a modern man who uses chopsticks very delicately among a group of slash-and-burn stone man.

'Why does this kind of pitcher appear in high school games! '

In the next second, the white ball came to the inner corner again, the player froze, and the result was announced.

"nice shot!"

"The batter is out!"

Three balls, none of which were spared, sent back the city junior's stick.

"Wow——that pitcher is too good." Tianjiu then watched the opponent smash all directions.

"Three outs, switch sides!"

On Tianjiu's side, the second half of the game.

"Bump—" An uncontrolled straight ball flew high, was caught directly by Kuramochi, and hit the infield.

"Ah, it's not good, why is this runner's footwork so fast." Because of the gap of more than half a year, Tianjiu was left with the problem of unstable start, and his control of the ball was also ineffective.

The first inning went quite unevenly, with one run dropped, two outs, and someone on the second and third bases, and it was Takano's turn to hit.

Tianjiu looked at the batter standing in the strike zone, and couldn't help but started complaining in his heart.

'Compared with the catcher and the chief judge, don't you think it's too big?I heard that there are 1.9 meters, it seems to be true.The nutrition is really good, could it be because of the genes of foreigners? 'Hands were not idle, the first ball at the beginning was the signature slider.

The hitter originally wanted to catch the pitcher's unstable state and hit the first pitch, but unexpectedly, he waited for a ball that seemed to be flying towards his face, saying, 'Dangerous! 'The body shook, and I immediately avoided it, but the ball slipped out of a trajectory in front of my eyes, and honestly flew into the catcher's glove.

"nice shot!"

"Hey, that slider is too foul!"

"I feel like I only see it in professional baseball. I didn't expect someone from high school to be able to vote!"

This slider with a foul trajectory is the decisive ball of the city’s junior ace. Even Gao Zhiye sighed in his heart, and at the same time he was more surprised, “When I was just learning to skate, I seemed to have thrown it once. A similar trajectory, but then never again! ! '

That kind of trajectory is as magical as a baseball with life.

Thinking of this, Takano's eyes became a little more frantic. He had to observe the trajectory of the ball and the way the pitcher threw the ball from a close distance, "Maybe I can use it!" '

Another ball, the batter's eyes focused on the change of the ball path, followed to the end, found that it was not a slider, and immediately swung his bat to destroy it.

Originally, the city's third-year pitcher planned to use a slider to leave an impression in the hitter's mind, and then used this impression to make the hitter hesitant to hit the bat.But a few balls passed, and they found that the hitter was waiting for the slider, and all the balls that entered the strike zone were destroyed, but what about the curve ball used to lure?
"Bad ball!"

The hitter didn't even look at it.

'No, this guy is super good with the ball, and he swings fast too. 'It can be done completely, follow the ball to the end, and then take a shot after seeing all the changes.

The number of balls is full, there is no other way, and the catcher gives instructions for the next ball.

'Let's take a bad ball from the outside corner! "The arm strength trained as a pitcher can also be used when hitting, so Takano was able to rank six in Qingdou. In fact, recently, after not pitching, his hitting strength has improved by leaps and bounds. .

Anyway, the first base is still vacant, so to be on the safe side, report it directly.

Sweat flowed down Tianjiu's forehead, and he shook his head firmly.

'You are really provocative, so I want to see if you can hit my slider! '

　If you are bored in the conference room for too long, you will feel like vomiting

　　During the switching time between heating and cooling, the air conditioner is not turned on in the building. As the meeting progresses, the entire space is gradually warmed by the human body, making it stuffy and feeling like an electric heater.
