Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 358
At night, on the quiet Daoshi campus, if you walk along the ginkgo trees along the way, you can gradually approach the noise.

Not far away is Inomi's baseball club.

In the bullpen, Hayakawa and Narimiya are still training.

"Tomorrow is the game, remember to go back early!" A passing teammate opened the door and asked the two people inside, but no reply was received.

Someone reminded him from behind, "Leave them alone, if you don't vent your energy, I don't think Ming will be able to fall asleep."

"Carlos?"

It was Daoshi's stick who spoke.

"I heard that the kid from Qingdao has developed a new ball, our ace's face is not to mention how ugly it is."

But Karl Rose's tone was a bit beating, as if he was happy to see this kind of thing happen.

"Hey, don't block the door over there! Also, I can hear your discussions, it's really annoying, go back!" Ming began to lose his temper again.

"Look——" the shapeless stick hanging at the door finally stood up straight, "Ace is angry again, let's go~"

"Really." Cheng Gongming stared at the two figures disappearing at the door before finally retracting his gaze, "Next, slide the ball!"

"Hi!" At this moment, only the quiet and undisturbed catcher is the most favored by Ace Daoshi.

In the brightly lit bullpen, only the echo of pitching is surrounded on all sides. While keeping a close eye on the glove, Cheng Gongming still has plenty of energy to recall the previous events.

Another year, or rather, the last year.

In the two years of high school, he was proud of his youth, and he joined the team to compete in Koshien in his first year of high school, but he ruined the summer of his seniors because of carelessness.

When he wanted to go back to that place to take revenge, Gao Zhiye enrolled. From the moment this person entered school, no, from the Little League stage, this person seemed to come here specifically to beat him.

This year's Nishitokyo Xiajia and Chunjia competitions were contracted by Qingdao.

Once is okay, twice?

The memory of the last time I played against Qingdao was a long time ago, and the pitcher's anger came out when he was still throwing the ball, "Damn Takano!"

After betting all his emotions on the pitch, Cheng Gongming quickly calmed down again.

Hayakawa on the opposite side received the ball and praised "nice ball" as usual, seemingly not seeing the abnormal performance of the opposing pitcher at all.

"Hey, Hayakawa, is that guy's pitching really better than when he was in Chunjia?" After shouting, his voice was a little hoarse, and the pitcher asked his partner on the opposite side again.

"Well, yes." No matter how many times he asked, Hayakawa always seemed to be in a state of concentration, and answered calmly, sometimes embellishing it.

"The power of the straight ball is not diminished. Even if the hitters in Tachikawa know that it is a straight ball, they can't keep up with the rhythm and can only hit out of bounds.

The speed difference created by the changeup makes it easier for the hitter to swing.

There are also sliders, which have a large lateral displacement and are mixed with straight balls. It is difficult to distinguish them and are used as lure balls.

The last is the Carter ball. In my opinion, he doesn't need to use such a sharp ball at all. Just other balls are enough to strike out the Tachikawa player.

In other words, today's game doesn't need ace to play at all, and the game ended early in the last 7 rounds.

Probably to recover from a break, or maybe to experiment with new balls. "

Ming can practice for so long today, without refueling, it all depends on Hayakawa's mouth.

"That carter ball will be used against us." Naruto's eyes sharpened.

Hayakawa was still so calm, "Of course, if you want me to say, they may be anxious to use this ball in the game just to deal with us. So it seems that the stability of this ball is not very high, otherwise they don't need it. exposed in advance."

"Hmph—" Cheng Gongming pointed to the opposite side, "So you have to hit him well! Do you hear me!"

"Hey, I'll try my best!"

"What do you mean by trying your best? It's a must! Don't you all know him and the ball very well?"

"Hey, I must call out!"

Let's turn our eyes away from Inomi and come to Aidou's side. In the same brightly lit analysis room, Miyuki yawned.

"Nice ball! This time the shoulders are completely shaken!"

The pitcher paused and looked at the catcher opposite, "Senior Miyuki, you just said that!"

"Eh?" Even the experienced Miyuki was stunned for a moment, and then quickly found a good word, "It means your ball is getting more and more stable."

"It's really insincere, don't you catchers all have this habit, just open your mouth to praise others, and never take it to your heart?" Here is Gao Zhiye who is tired of throwing the ball and wants to find something to do.

Yuxing couldn't be clear, "How is it possible? My compliments have always flowed from my heart. How could it be considered that they didn't go to my heart? My heart has a strong sense of participation."

Immediately counterattacked, "What's the matter, why do you suddenly want to understand the heart of the catcher? Is it possible that you understand the importance of the unity of shooting and catching?" So you want to have a good relationship with me?

"Senior Miyuki, please don't be too sentimental." Takano stopped throwing the ball and made a solemn statement, making Miyuki speechless for a while.

"Recently, I was reflecting on the relationship between me and the catcher, and found that I never seemed to help the younger generation of catchers grow up."

Miyuki cooperated, "Ah, that, didn't you say that before?"

"Well, but recently, when I got to know the freshman catchers with the mentality of supporting the younger generation, I discovered that they have something in common. Hmm... how should I put it? They will actively follow behind the pitcher's butt, and they will face it correctly when they are cold-faced. Yes, and he will take the initiative to praise pitchers, and he is the kind of person who pays first in the relationship between pitching and catching."

Yuxing complained in his heart, why you still have to analyze and analyze this little thing, isn't it obvious.

"Isn't that natural? As a catcher, you must regard yourself as the commander of the whole team in your heart, and the relationship between shooting and catching is the first thing to deal with." But among the new catchers, there are also people who do not fit this stereotype, such as Okumura Miyuki felt that this child was quite unique.

"It turned out to be this kind of mood. Focus on the big, so you won't be entangled in the small." Gao Zhiye nodded fiercely, "And after life becomes more active, you won't be a person who just accepts it passively."

Yu Xing was stared chillingly, "What's wrong, suddenly?"

"Ah—I didn't expect that one day I could get such a philosophical message from Miyuki-senpai. It's because I didn't know you before."

"Hey, don't always add so many negative impressions to me, how about taking a serious look at me without prejudice?"

The two joked around for a while, and then went back together when the coaches came to drive them away.

"Do you want me to rub your back?" The common destination of the two was the bathhouse. Under Gao Zhiye's gaze, he added, "Since we are already good friends."

After two seconds of silence, the pitcher turned around and went to the dormitory.

"Hey, I got it, I got it, I won't rub your back." The figure was still speeding up, and Miyuki could only shout, "I got it, I'm going to wash the head office first! I'll finish washing in a while Knock on your door."

After that, the pitcher raised his arm and swung it back.

　Update information, everyone should have an afternoon meeting today, so I happily went to the company, prepared to follow the cactus, took the extra lunch, and massaged for half an hour

　　As a result, the company found out that the leaders stayed while the others left. . .

　　It's so annoying, under the eyes of people, I, the person who is about to resign, feel uncomfortable, so I just printed out the resignation certificate, and the rest did not get done
