Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 279 Tired Opponent

Takano understood in an instant, Senior Kuramochi's complex look, after all, he had shown that look before, looking at Senior Nozawa who was jumping repeatedly in the team.

"Don't look like you're keeping a respectful distance away." Senior Nozawa suddenly approached, trying to pull Gao Zhiye, who had just entered the team, into the group.

"You guy, was it before..." The senior was very considerate and didn't say any more, but Takano gradually integrated into the Kinoshita Little League team. After becoming the ace of the new team, Nozawa used to pretend Wiping tears like that, he said, "Gao Jun, it turns out that you can still dissolve in water, but the dissolution rate is relatively slow."

"Senior Nozawa, it's the last time, please tell me something useful?" Gao Zhiye 'rebuked' the senior.

But after such a little clarification, Gao Zhiye really felt that his knot in his heart was slowly being resolved, perhaps as Michelangelo said, 'The statue is in the stone, I just removed the unnecessary part. '

All the experience is like a chiseled knife, digging out the real Gao Zhiye.

He used to despise people who gathered blindly like sheep, hated the hateful hearts of all people, and was surprised that his own soul was not much nobler than others.

The world is like a large farmer's market in front of the house, good and bad, smelly and smelly, just a few steps away from the left and right, the smells are mixed together, everyone is crowded and barely exists.

So in the end, he still lowered his body, like a beggar, rummaging through the unbroken, shimmering kindness and warmth, and kept them in his arms.

"Bump—" the voice on the field brought Gao Zhiye back from his contemplation, and when he looked back, Senior Kuramochi's expression had already returned to normal, and he was patting the railing to applaud his partner.

"Little Minato! Yoshi!"

"Chun Nan! From today onwards, you will be Chun Nan!" Four hits and three hits, no wonder Rongchun changed the advertisement on purpose.

Even the audience began to look forward to it.

"It's that three sticks again!"

"Have you hit base several times today, have you counted them?"

Of course there are grumpy voices too.

"Qingdao, it's okay, hurry up and score!"

It's not the audience's fault either, they've had ten hits, but they're rarely linked together, and now they only have 2 points in the account.

"Four sticks, four sticks."

"Qingdao, come on!"

"Carry out one!"

Hearing these chaotic cheering sounds, Yu Xing felt a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.

'Hey, don't make the home run so easy, okay? '

As the team's catcher, four batters and captain, taking care of everything at the same time, but also maintaining his own growth, is really a big test for him.

But at this time, the city's junior pitcher is not so easy. It is clear that it is time for two outs, and the three batters have already piled up to the full number of balls. Lost feel on a straight ball and landed very sweet.

In this way, with two outs and a man on the first base, he will face Qingdao's four bats.

"Time!" The catcher came to the mound just in time, "How is it? Does it feel wrong?"

The catcher didn't dare to ask if he was out of strength again. He could feel the pitcher's will from the pitch he received.

However, in many cases, the will is the dodder flower that depends on the physical fitness. People can't pull themselves off the ground, and they can't maintain a perfect state when their physical strength is exhausted to the end.

"Haha, the remaining physical strength I have now is just enough to deal with a Qing Dao's four sticks." Tian Jiu still looked the same.

"..." The catcher couldn't help but think of the discussions on the bench in the previous innings.

"The pitching rhythm of the opponent's ace seems to be speeding up." This is not an illusion. After halfway through the game, Qingdao Ace obviously wanted to stir up the game.

"But if he speeds up the pace so rashly, he will be very tired." Everyone thought that this would not last until the end, but they didn't expect that the first thunderstorm was their own ace.

No wonder, although Tianjiu is a second grader, he has been completely abandoned for more than half a year.

The pace of pitching is accelerated. The first result is that the batter's reaction time is shortened. Almost as soon as the last pitch is over, the next pitch will come again. Therefore, the switching speed of the half inning has been accelerated a lot.

As a result, the rest time of the trump card of the third year in the city was shortened a lot, and after the physical strength was exhausted, the time required to deal with the batter in each round was also lengthened, which would further consume physical strength, and a vicious circle formed.

It might not be too obvious at the beginning, but after Tianjiu left the court, he didn't practice shooting to maintain his form, but just sat on the bench to rest.

"Hey, don't look like that, this is the final of the autumn conference! I really appreciate your tolerance all the way to the present."

"Eh? Why all of a sudden?"

"Ah, I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm going to get into trouble later, so I'll say something nice first and ask you to forgive me."

"Huh? You lazy guy, don't start crowing all of a sudden!"

The timeout is over, the catcher can only fight for this rest time, he finally pointed to the trump card, "Don't worry about the runner, we only need one out next."

"Hey, you are setting the flag!"

Wiping off the sweat from his face, Tian Jiu felt relieved because of this gag.

"Two outs!"

"One more out!"

"Huh—" Tianjiu took a deep breath of the air above the mound, shook his shoulders, and looked at home plate.

At the end of the eyes is the catcher who cannot see the expression clearly, and the secret code is exchanged softly in silence.

Tianjiu nodded, and looked up at the Qingdao four sticks on the strike zone.

'Speaking of which, this guy is obviously handsome, and he looks like the type that girls will like. "He has had girlfriends all the way, so he knows women very well. This kind of guy who looks like he can use his head is the most popular among girls." It's still a catcher, he is even more popular.What a pity, Takano, his type of looks, probably only be liked by my sister. '

Tianjiu raised his legs high, exerting all the force brought by the shift of the center of gravity on this small ball.

The arm swung down quickly, and the sound of breaking through the air rang in my ears. After leaving the mound, the small ball quickly headed towards the batter's outer corner with a bit of the pitcher's body temperature.

But Miyuki didn't have the slightest desire to swing the bat, and just quietly watched the baseball pass by.

"Bad ball!"

The city's junior catcher was not surprised by the batter's caution, anyway, this bad ball was also used as a foreshadowing.

'Next, the slider in the inside corner. '

Through the two bad balls inside and outside, the batter's field of vision is widened, so that some balls that rub the sideline have to be swung.

However, the catcher had calculated everything and did not expect this ending.

"Bad ball!" After two successive bad balls used as foreshadowing, Tian Jiu seemed to be a little bit uncertain about finding a good ball, and continued to throw a bad ball.

With two outs and a man on first base, the current number of balls in the four bats is no strikes and three balls, and the pitcher is already exhausted at this time. . .

'Slider into the outside corner, take a good shot, don't waste shots anymore. '

Tianjiu nodded, turned around to look at the peaceful Xiaomin, and then quickly threw the ball.

But the ball hooked the finger slightly.

'It's over! '

A pop shot that almost flew out.

"Four balls, walk!"
