Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 322 First hit

As a pitcher, Hongo ranks six in the entire Trolls big hit line, and his powerful arm is his biggest weapon.

"Hometown!"

"Get out!"

Even though they were the third hitter in this round, the atmosphere in the stadium was heated up by Hongo's appearance. To be precise, they liked the scene of the two ace pitchers facing off.

After all, only one person can stand on the mound at a time.

Takano shook his head disapprovingly. Hongo swung his stick fiercely, but the overall hitting accuracy was not high, similar to the blind cannon in Qingdao's team.

'Use some corner balls and make him angry. '

This is the advantage of being No.2. No.2 is aiming at No.1 most of the time, but No.1 has to accept the research of strong players from other regions all the time, so it falls behind in preparation.

Miyuki on the opposite side quickly understood what the pitcher meant, and put the glove on the sideline of the outer corner.

Hongo stared closely at the paper letter friend on the opposite side, and noticed a smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, and the alarm bell sounded instantly. He was struck out by a changeup in the last round.

But now there is no way out.

In front, the eyes under the brim of the pitcher's hat were full of desire to win.

Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

The content that is expressed in words, or simply presented on paper is this sentence.

Gao Zhiye is not familiar with this way of making friends. He instinctively feels that this way is abnormal, but he is too lazy to point out other people's lives one by one. However, since we have met in Jiashien, let's unlock a new form of friendship for the other party!
The wind of friendship doesn't have to be so strong. This principle can only be discussed after defeating him in the local world.

With the pitching action engraved deep in the soul, Gao Zhiye only needs to keep his eyes on the low position of the outer corner, and his body will automatically calibrate, and the ball will naturally find the position of the low outer corner.

Just like now, Hongo gritted his teeth and swung the bat, only to touch the edge of the ball, and then quickly bounced behind.

"The outside world!"

What is different from his expression is his mental activity at the moment.

'The pitching tempo is almost up to par. 'The location of the shot is also the most difficult low position in the outside corner for Hongo.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this matter. The trolls already know that Qingdao is staring at everyone's cold zone, which means that Qingdao himself has limited his throwing range to a frame, so just wait for the ball, and there will always be a ball towards him. Hit the cold zone.

What Hongo is waiting for is an outside corner kick.

'Damn it, it still doesn't work well. '

If you can overcome the cold zone by yourself in a short period of time, it is not called hitting the cold zone.

On the mound, Takano covered his mouth with a glove, hiding his interest, pretending to be reading the code seriously.

’ That guy was really angry, really an egotistical person. '

Every pair of friends will go through many processes before they really get in touch. After hurting each other and forgiving each other, they can really understand each other's temper and become a true tacit understanding.

After Gao Zhiye passed the novelty in the early stage, he gradually realized Hongo in the letter paper, but after the actual communication, he found that all the softness of the other party had probably been written in the letter paper, and the one left in the real world was a Smelly and hard stone.

Therefore, he is now in a period of disliking Hongo.

'Get out! '

The pitcher twisted his lower body, twisting layers of folds on his trousers. With that force, people could hear the steel chain creaking and stirring when the ship weighed anchor.

After that, there is the white ball that flies towards the batter's inside corner.

Hongo tensed his body, and the messy guesses about the ball type in his mind quieted down. At this moment, he just kept up with the rhythm and tapped out.

The hitter has stepped out, the center of gravity has begun to shift, and the bat has a layer of wind from behind.

but--

'The rhythm is wrong! '

Hongo, eyes wide with rage, misses another changeup.

Inside corner, changeup.

It was exactly the same as the last round, it was like putting the announcement on the face, 'how about it, you still can't hit in your hometown! '

"nice shot!"

This is indeed the case, and Hongo, who was still able to think rationally just now, quickly left only anger.

Outside the big troll bench, Senior Director of Hongo Expression Research and Supervisor Nitta frowned: "Idiot, I don't remember any of the instructions when I first played."

"nice shot!"

Once again, Hongo slid the ball to the outside corner, thinking that this was Seidou's target for his cold zone, so he hurriedly hit the stick and swung it wide.

Of the three swings, only the first time he touched the edge of the ball, and the last two swings went straight to the air.

This result calmed down the audience a little.

"Three outs, switch sides!"

But immediately someone said: "The trump card here on Qingdao is five sticks, hit the line in the center."

"Pitchers still have an advantage in high school hitting, after all, they have enough arm strength."

"If it's that easy to get out of the game, then it's really meaningless. It's obviously a direct confrontation with trump cards."

When Hongo returned to the bench, he only received a cold glance from the supervisor.

In the next round, Qingdao also started with the fourth bat.

"The pitching of the ace on the opposite side, you are all used to one round, how is it, how do you feel?" Supervisor Kataoka looked around at the hitters around him.

Miyuki smiled, and said in a slightly flat voice: "The trajectory is already very clear. Sure enough, it would be nice to have two pitchers with 150 kilometers in the team."

Kataoka ignored his tricks and continued: "Although it is the same 150 kilometers, his style of play is rougher than Taka-kun's. The accuracy is not always good, this is our chance. The only What you need to pay attention to is the finger ball that will fall at a high speed, so you have to follow the ball from the beginning of this round to the end, and only hit the ball within the ball zone."

"Hi!!"

The contestants dispersed, leaving only the personnel who prepared this time.

Miyuki looked at Hongo who was getting ready in the arena, and suddenly turned around and grinned at Takano: "If I hit base, can you be responsible for sending me over?"

"Don't talk big, Miyuki-senpai, let's strike with the goal of consuming a few more balls." Once Gao Zhiye leaves the court, his whole brain cools down very quickly. In the center of the court, the two of them share the same mind. Feeling, and only when pitching.

Miyuki adapted well to the pitcher's state switching, "haha." After that, he didn't provoke the opponent again, turned around and walked towards the strike zone.

But there is one thing to say, what Miyuki just said to Supervisor Kataoka is what he said in his heart. If you play two high-speed ball pitchers every day, your body will gradually adapt. When you come to the field, you will see what another high-speed ball pitcher said. , the adaptation will also become faster.

What's more, as Qingdao's captain, fourth batter and catcher, he shoulders such a heavy responsibility, and he really needs to break the deadlock for the team.

The pitcher with a stinky face looked critically at Miyuki again. He had heard a lot of interesting stories about this unreliable captain.

Lian Si raised his head cautiously, "This catcher is very powerful, and it is very dangerous to cooperate with the pitcher behind him." '

Hongo, however, was a little absent-minded. He didn't blame his friend so much for the "humiliating" strikeout by Takano just now. Instead, he believed that [-]% of the responsibility was on the catcher, so he had to pay back severely.

But I saw that the catcher aimed for a high ball on the third ball.

"bump--"

"safe!"

There was an uproar in the audience, and the first hit of the field was finally born.

Takano rubbed his nose, a bit overwhelmed by the noise from the Koshien Stadium, "Really, it's such a big fight."

If you don't hit it out, you will probably be booed by the audience.

　Going to play baseball again today la la la
　　In other words, I'm really bad at passing the ball quickly after the catch.
　　After receiving the ball, my mind was very anxious, but my arms and legs were all in a mess, shouting: "What should I do, how should I pose now."

　　The coach said, as soon as I received the ball, I should have stepped forward to pass the ball, but in an instant, I stood with my feet together, and I didn't know what I was doing.

　　Me: the brain is awake, the body is fighting
