Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 54

In the next event, Gao Zhiye didn't want to squeeze forward, he dragged Lang Zhi to the stands, and ran into Shibazaki who was separated from the big team.

"Shibazaki, why are you here?"

"It's so sad that none of you noticed that I was lost?"

"I haven't seen you all this time, I thought you weren't here."

Shibazaki replied immediately: "Because I was left behind by the big team at the beginning, remember, I sat behind you in the car!"

"Really, how did Hayakawa, the captain, stay alone from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even notice?"

"Don't talk about others, you are still the same. I went to the bathroom and asked you to wait for me, but you left."

"Ah—I'm sorry." Gao Zhiye held Lang Zhi's head and lowered his head: "It's all because of this younger brother. It keeps me restless day and night, so I'm too sleepy in the morning."

"Forget it, anyway, I made new friends."

It was only then that Gao Zhiye noticed that the person sitting on the other side was secretly looking at him. After the eyes exchanged, the other party took the initiative to say hello: "Mr. Gao Zhiye, your pitching is so good, I am Luan from Dayang Little League Chuan is also a pitcher, please give me your advice.”

Saying hello, Gao Zhiye saw the similar team uniform on the other party, "This Shibazaki, he looked confused in the morning, he must have misread the team uniform, and left with someone else's team." '

Then there was a group of teenagers with similar team uniforms sitting on the right saying hello. Gao Zhiye seemed to be caught in a wave of acquaintances, and kept nodding in greeting.

Originally Gao Zhiye wanted to pretend that he was watching the event seriously, but that Luan Chuan seemed to want to say something else.

"What's the matter, Mr. Luanchuan?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask, Gao Jun, how fast is your ball?"

"The fastest speed is 138."

"Ah - Si Guoyi." Someone beside him pricked up his ears, "Then have you been shooting accurately all the time?"

"Yes, it is a characteristic of my personality."

Lang Zhi interjected without permission: "He has only been in touch with baseball for half a year."

"Yeah, isn't that even better? What balls do you know how to shoot?"

"... Straightball and Carter."

Sensing the scrutiny of the people around him, Gao Zhiye became more and more uncomfortable. What's the matter? If he turns around to play against them, wouldn't the information be exposed?

Sentence after sentence, the conversation completely turned into a question-and-answer mode. Gradually, Luan Chuan also understood the meaning of the other party's unwillingness to continue communicating, and stopped provoking the topic. The line of sight is blocked outside the eyelids.

"Hey-hey-wake up." There seemed to be a voice speaking from the distant surface of the water.

Immediately after the feeling of weightlessness came, he used his hands and feet together, and his sight stabilized, only to realize that he was lying on the seat in the stands, and beside him was an angry boy who was gloating a bit, wearing a familiar sportswear, staring It took a long time before Takano remembered, 'Ah, I'm at the venue. '

His body was stiff, and his neck felt sore when he moved it.

"Hiss—how long have I been asleep?"

"...It's the last link, let's go down quickly."

On the entrance steps in the distance, there are only sporadic tails left, and the surrounding seats are all empty: "What is the end?"

"Ball speed test..." The schadenfreude in the boy's eyes became more obvious, and he said, "Did you sleep stupidly?" He didn't dare to say it. Don't look at him standing upright at this time, in fact, his right foot is already terribly numb. up.

"Let's go—" Gao Zhiye moved his neck slowly, and greeted the people behind him.

The voice of the host just now sounded again in the venue, "Then the next step is the ball speed test of the second-year junior players of the Kanto League. Players who sign up for this event, please get ready! 2 trial shots + 2 record balls."

Hayakawa searched for the figures of the brothers in the line. After he joined Shibasaki, he kept looking at the entrance of the venue. People from the stands would definitely come from here.

"Not yet... What's going on with these two people?"

The progress of the previous contestants was very fast, each of them took only half a minute, and the records were constantly being updated.

"121km"

"One kilometer faster, 122km."

"The next player, the current record is 130km."

Shibazaki looked around and came over: "Why, haven't you seen it, it should come down behind us."

Hayakawa stopped Shibasaki: "I'll look for it, you can wait for the test in the waiting area."

The two brothers, who are missed by many people, are still in the toilet. One is burying his head in ice water to wake up, and the other is changing his feet alternately to relieve numbness in his feet.

Gao Zhiye, who was awake, looked at Lang Zhi's legs: "What's wrong with your legs?"

"...I was pressured by you."

Thinking about the posture of waking up, Gao Zhiye, who was wronged, didn't answer, wiped his hands and took the lead to go out: "Let's go, Hayakawa must be looking for us."

"Hmph—" Lang Zhi stamped his heels behind, his unconvinced mood echoed in the corridor.

"The second season of Idol Live released a collector's edition CD." The person in front seemed to be talking to himself, and Lang Chi immediately rushed forward: "You want to buy it for me?"

"Huh? I just said that he released a CD, and didn't say he would buy it."

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, a passing staff stopped them: "You two are contestants, the contestants should have gathered at the venue by now." Then they drove the two to the venue like sheep. The entrance merged with Hayakawa who was stuck at the entrance and couldn't come out.

"What's the matter with you two..." Hayakawa hadn't finished speaking, only listening to the sound of the radio, it was Kinoshita's turn.

"Next, Shibazaki-kun of Kinoshita Boys."

The sound of throwing the ball sounded, and Takano ran forward immediately.

"129km."

"130km."

"The current record is still 136km. Next is Takano-kun. I am very impressed by the pitching accuracy of this player. Now let's see his ball speed, eh? Where is Takano-kun?"

"Hi——" Gao Zhiye came out diagonally from behind, and these children formed a circle again, making it difficult for him to squeeze in. "2 trial pitches + 2 pitches for calculating the score." In a nutshell, a man in a coach uniform threw a ball.

Gao Zhiye caught the ball and stood still. There was an adult squatting on the home plate. The soil in front of him was a bit uneven. It seemed that the children in front had dug a lot of sweet potatoes.

His body was still a little stiff after waking up, so he ran here to warm up. Now he only has two balls to move his shoulders, so don't put pressure on his shoulders for the first ball, and relax fully.

"Bump—" Around 120, the ball was a test shot, and the broadcaster didn't read out the speed, and the players who were familiar with him all moved their minds a little, "So did you lower the speed of the ball to ensure possession of the ball? If so, We probably can too. '

In the interval of receiving the return pass, he shrugged his shoulders, 'It's not bad, the joints are active. '

On the second ball, Takano's ball speed increased visible to the naked eye, about 130km.

"Oh—" There were sporadic applause at the beginning.

"Start throwing the ball." After receiving the return pass again, the man next to him in the coach uniform issued the order immediately.

Gao Zhiye did not hesitate, and directly shot with all his strength. The ball in the second half of 130 was thrown from his hands. The catcher who caught the ball was obviously stunned. Tell him not to move.

"Oh!!" Everyone was surprised, "137km! The new record is Kinoshita's Takano-kun!"

"Nice!" The catcher stood up and passed the ball back.

The surrounding voices became noisy, but standing on the familiar pitcher's mound, Gao Zhiye just pulled the brim of his hat and threw the ball again.

"One kilometer faster, 138km! The new record is still Kinoshita's Takano-kun."

"The speed of the ball has improved so quickly."

"Did the catcher's glove move just now? Is there still possession at such a high speed? Lie."

"Isn't the catcher's mitt in the red?"

"But you just exploded..."

"What are you talking about? That's a trial shot, a trial shot!"

Amidst all the discussions, Gao Zhiye threw the ball back to the man in the coach uniform, and left through the gap on the side.

　I don't know if he wants to ease the relationship. The director said that she pays for the center's dinner, but requires that there must be more than three departments within the center. . .

　　So yesterday, 9 people from our department, plus one person from each of the other two departments, 11 people went to a dinner party in a mighty way, and sent the bill to the director after the dinner. . .There are only 10 people in our department now, so it is almost equivalent to spending the boss’s money on internal team building hahaha

　　(Conjecture: On the second day, because the left foot stepped into the company first, the quarterly performance was rated C)

　　PS: Fortunately, my manuscript box is strong enough, and I can hold it without code words for a day
