Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 372

"Second bat, second baseman, Mr. Minato!"

In the third game, it was Kominato Haruichi who played amidst the sweet broadcast.In the first two innings, Qingdao really played smoothly and frustrated, with a lot of hits, but they only scored one run for one reason or another.

'The next step is not going well, and the opponent's trump card is almost on the verge of getting up. '

Xiaochun raised his bat and stared at the opponent with sharp eyes.Now that the other side has already guessed that Qingdao is focusing on the slider of Huo Tianjiu, then the subsequent distribution of the ball——

Just wait for the straight ball!

But this signal of waiting should not be too strong. Seeing that the ball does not even move the bat, the catcher of the third year in the city must have guessed it all at once.Even if you don't fight, you must fully charge in the first half and only stop in the middle.

And the catcher of the third year in the city is also guessing, "The people in Qingdao know now, we already know, they have trained skateboards."So now avoiding the slider anyway, eliminating that option, so what is this hitter waiting for? '

Match the ball with other change balls to divert the attention of the green road hitters!A difficult straight ball is mixed in the middle to test whether he is waiting for a straight ball!

'Come on, first one, the curveball!disrupt his rhythm. '

Xiaochun's heartstrings were tense, but the moment the ball came, it fell into disarray. A small ball flew high and landed precisely at the high position of the inner corner.

"nice shot!"

The hitter and catcher at home plate vibrate simultaneously.

'Curveball? Xiaochun didn't expect it at all, so he only had time to step back.

'This accuracy? Gao Jian, the third-year catcher of the city, held onto the small ball tightly, his heart beating faster, "Is your condition finally getting better, our ace!" '

Then the next ball, to test the hitter.

Tianjiu nodded, saying that after the ball was thrown just now, as a pitcher, Tianjiu felt the most, "I feel like my shoulders are thrown away." 'The last two innings were hit like maggots, it just made the game look like it would never end.

'Well, in the end it was only one point. '

The mentality of the players of the two teams reversed in an instant, and the team with this point became more cautious and anxious.

"Bump—" the straight ball from the outside corner only made Xiaochun hit an out of bounds.

'No, the opponent probably noticed what kind of ball I was waiting for!Then let go and hit the ball when it comes! '

Xiaochun's pursuit of the straight ball was keenly captured by the city's junior catcher, "So are you waiting for the straight ball?" ? '

So the last ball—

"Bump—" hit the infield defense.

'It's another change ball! Xiaochun had no choice but to end, "Gao Jun, there is not even a slider in this round."

"Well, I understand." Gao Zhiye went up with the bat, this is not a bad thing, after all, Qingdao forced Tianjiu to give up his sharpest weapon, so the remaining balls are only one. adapted.

Moreover, he has an inexplicable confidence that Tianjiu will throw a slider to him.

Although the two had no personal friendship, they were both pitchers. Judging from Tian Jiu's relaxed state on the mound and his actual pitching state, this guy was a quasi-professional pitcher.

Not to mention the level of pitching, just this mentality.

When watching this pitcher being entangled in every possible way in the last game, his movements were anxious.But it was just a rest in the end of the game. With Takano's fast pitching rhythm, Tianjiu played again, and he got rid of the state of the first two innings, and became comfortable on the mound again.

'Very self-centered pitcher, that's the trouble.The gap must be recreated. . 'As Tianjiu's condition improves, this kind of gap becomes more and more difficult to open. Gao Zhiye has a hunch that there will be a hard fight ahead, so the smooth start experienced before is the biggest test of the maturity of Qingdao players.

Water flows to low places, and people go to high places.Especially in sports competitions that require state, the start is too high, and after a hard fight, the overall morale is actually declining.On the opposite side, it was the complete opposite. As Ace's pitching performance got better and better, the team's momentum was slowly boosted, which would eventually be reflected in the blows.

'You can't be too happy all at once, and you can't be too sad all at once.Human beings are really as troublesome as they want. 'When Gao Zhiye walked to the strike zone, he had already thought about it. Under such circumstances, he must extend the number of pitching innings and use his stable performance to calm down the youngsters behind.

'Steady, this is probably my greatest contribution to the team. '

He raised his eyes and met the excited pitcher on the opposite side.

Gao Zhiye's expression remained motionless, causing Tianjiu's whole body to run through like electricity.

'It's this kind of expression again, and this kind of momentum again, it really makes people have the urge to beat you! '

The city's junior catcher quickly patted his knee and brought the pitcher's attention back, "just like the last hit, once he started to enter the state, he used various methods to delay the interval between pitches. '

Tianjiu nodded, with his mouth parted unconsciously, 'By the way, does that guy in Tanaka's method really work?I got myself into the hospital, went to Qingdao to investigate and drew a bunch of sketches, and you always said that my behavior was unexpected.But don't you think that guy is even weirder? '

While thinking, the action of throwing the ball was only slow for a moment, and the next moment it was already a shot.

"Bad ball!"

A high lob, the hitter was not fooled at all, but let go of the bat and stood still again.

The catcher had a good opinion, felt that this round of blows, this hitter was a little different from the last round, but he couldn't say what the specific performance was.If anything, his grip on the bat tightened a little after the pitcher nodded.

'He's not quite quiet yet! 'The quiet Takano even forgot about the bat in his hand, so he didn't make any extra moves at all.

"Bump—" After that, the curveball was picked up by the hitter, and the crisp sound exploded in everyone's ears.

Because the strength of the swing was too great, after hitting the ball far away, the stick drew an arc, and finally carried it behind Takano's back.

Far, far away, the center fielder of the third year in the last city stopped and looked at the wall.

"It's gone!" In this spring meeting, Takano's first home run was born.

"Oh—ah—"

"Out! Home run!"

"My lord brother! It's amazing!" Everyone on the Qingdao bench took pictures of whatever was at hand, and all the worries in their hearts were dispelled by this home run.

"This power, this physique, hasn't fully developed yet, it's just that powerful."

"Do you have his latest weight data? Why do I feel a little stronger than when I was in spring armor?"

Unlike the other players in Qingdao who can only "ahhhhh" and the audience who can only chat, almost all the team's scouts are here today. Tokyo's relatively good pitchers in the past two years will all play today , the first scene is Takano and Fuguya from Aidou, Amehisa from Ichida San, the second is Narimiya Naruto from Inashi, and Mukai from Teito.

"Ah, indeed, there should be an increase in height and weight."
