Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 57

The Dayang Little League catcher stood up and drew a big circle for Luan Chuan so that he could throw the ball with peace of mind.

Nakajima let out a sigh of relief on the first base of three bats. After the ball was full, he hit a fly ball. Yoshino took the opportunity to steal the second base, and the third base was blocked by the first base.

"Two out!"

Luan Chuan's condition was improving. He received a strong return pass from the catcher and touched his hat, "No, I always feel that my fingertips are not sensitive today. Is it because I have been practicing grip strength recently?" '

Whether he likes it or not, Kinoshita's Little League games are his own appointments to compete, finger balls are something he has to learn, and grip strength is also a must. State is not the reason why he loses games.

The fourth bat, Hayakawa, stood in the strike zone, compared the pitcher with his bat, and returned to a relaxed state. Now is the best time to score. This pitcher is not in good condition.

An outside corner slider, called a strike, followed by a straight ball in the same position, Hayakawa didn't even look at it, "Bad ball!"

It's almost time for an inside corner kick. The catcher is prone to guessing the ball as soon as he stands in the strike zone. As a result, the inside corner kick comes. Fly ended the first half of the inning.

Takano's bat drooped, 'So in the next inning, I'll be the lead hitter?I'm not good at running bases. '

The teammates passing by all patted their ace on the back: "It's okay, anyway, as long as you hit it out, you don't need to steal the base." Gao Zhiye's explosive power is very good, but his base running skills are poor, and he always accidentally hits the base. Going over the head is very easy to get hurt, so coach Ninomiya later stopped him from stealing bases.

"Focus on pitching, let's hit when it's time to hit."

Why did you come here, the pitcher is in such a bad state that he doesn't score.

Dayang's No. 138 bat has already obtained a lot of information from his own pitcher, including but not limited to, this pitcher is very accurate, has a ball speed of [-], and has a carter ball.

The first ball is a high-speed straight ball with a high inside angle, to say hello to the Oceanic Little League.

"Bump—" Dayang stepped back suddenly with a stick, but the referee's voice was heard in his ears: "Strike."

This guy, he controlled it just right, and he stood still again with a blow.

'Since you can't score points, then I have no choice but to not lose points! 'With a distance of 16.46 meters, the duel between the two was very gunpowder-like.

Second ball, same position, 'A straight ball again?Is this looking down on me? 'He swung the bat directly, but the ball in front of him suddenly ran towards the outside corner, and it hit an infield fly directly, and was caught by Yoshino at second base.

"One out!"

Bright rhythm, neat exits, the first bat was out after only two balls, and there was no information for the second bat.

"This pitcher is very powerful with straight balls, but be careful with his change balls." I thought he was a high-speed pitcher relying on the power of straight balls, but he also shot very accurate change balls to confuse the line of sight, which is really insidious.

The second bat was tricked by a low-speed straight ball and rolled into the infield, and the third bat was out after a low outside corner and swung to the inside corner.

In just such a short period of time, Dayang Little League went up and down three times.

"That guy is amazing."

"As soon as I came up, I was fully fired and in full condition." Then the speaker was poked by his partner and quickly shut up. Sitting on the side was Luan Chuan, who was slow in the first half of the inning. Luan was stared at. Chuan smiled at everyone and put down his bat. He is the fourth bat in Dayang Little League.

"The defense in the second game is up to everyone." He smiled, as if he was not affected by the unstable start.

But the catcher who knew him was on the side, wearing a protective gear, and said without hesitation: "I said Luan Chuan, calm down a little bit, that pitcher didn't do anything to you."

"But his ball speed is faster than mine." Luan Chuan said over there in a serious manner. Everyone ran past him with faces full of indescribable expressions. It was like this every time. When they saw a good pitcher, they wanted to pull them over for a game. , It's a pity that such a narrow-minded pitcher is their current trump card, and they can only hold their noses and bear it.

In the second inning, unexpectedly, the first long hit was born on the pitcher. Gao Zhiye missed a straight ball, making Dayang's catcher think he was aiming for a straight ball, so he called a slider. Luan Chuan shook his head, and the catcher made another At the signal of a straight ball, Luan Chuan shook his head again. It was not until the catcher asked for a crossed ball that Luan Chuan started to prepare for the pitch.

'Let me play finger ball! Gao Zhiye aimed at this ball from the very beginning. Although Luan Chuan said in the message that his finger ball is still being honed, that kind of pride can be radiated through the screen, "Your finger ball must be very good." Great, then I have to hit your ball'.

Two equally unyielding hearts are like a bat and a ball colliding at this moment.

"Right field—" The catcher pulled off his mask and pointed to the right.

Luan Chuan paused, his eyes flew to the right field wall along with the ball, and then he stared blankly for two seconds before regaining consciousness and staring at the man who was running around the field.

"One point! Well done!"

"Wow, these two pitchers are my illusion. I always feel a little angry."

"Isn't it Takano-kun who was invited by the opposing pitcher? I thought the two of them had a good relationship."

"Who knows? Wasn't Shibazaki-kun there at the time?" Everyone looked at Shibazaki who was pretending to be a wallflower. There is a high probability that he will not play today, so he is still on the bench.

"Well, it's probably a competition of the same kind? One of them is the first in ball speed in the second year of junior high school, and the other is the second."

"The pitcher's world is really complicated——" The strange remarks began to be recognized by everyone, and even Lang Zhi, who was preparing for the strike zone, nodded vigorously. He wished that everyone could recognize Takano's true face.

"What kind of head are you nodding, come on later!" Gao Zhiye pressed his brother's helmet and high-fived everyone on the bench.

"Time!" The catcher called for a timeout in time after Gao Zhiye finished his circuit: "Mr. Luanchuan, let's admit that the opponent's skill is superior up to now, let's play this game well."

"Phew—when did I deny it? It's really not reconciled. Also, don't you think that the opponent's players are all one or half a size bigger than us. What do they eat every day? Everyone is like this. Sure enough? Maybe it’s a team menu issue.”

"Hey——Okay, okay, it's a problem with the team menu. Now that the problem is found, can you throw it into my glove properly?" The catcher wanted to raise his forehead, but he still showed tolerance, "No Shake your head at the code again."

"OK--"

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the game ended, the score fell to 6:0, and the six innings were too short. They only had time to appreciate the subtlety of the opposing pitcher's pitch, but they had no time to crack it, and it was over.

"That pitcher is really good." Everyone in the Oceanic Little League packed up their things.

"Ah, look at Luan Chuan passing by again, it's really workable."

"Didn't he still stare at each other during the game, and then change his face after the game?"

Luan Chuan, who was complained by his teammates, got together with Gao Zhiye very familiarly: "I really lost to you. I was thinking of hitting your ball, but I was hit by you instead."

"Oh..." Gao Zhiye started the question-and-answer mode just like yesterday in the stands.

Sometimes people are really strange, and they will have a good or bad feeling for the person they meet for the first time. From a psychological point of view, if they have a bad feeling for the person they meet for the first time, it is very likely that this person evokes the memory of being hurt , that is to say, this person is very similar to the temperament of the person who has hurt him, so disgust gushes from the bottom of his heart.

Gao Zhiye met Luan Chuan for the first time, and he felt this way, and it has not weakened until now. Maybe he is somewhat similar to the people from the sprint team.

"Please take care of me, and we can have more practice games in the future." The Ocean Little League is a Little League in the Kanagawa area, which belongs to the Tokyo East Branch. Generally, the games in the Youth League are concentrated inside the branch, so the two teams did not have any competition before. How did you get in touch.

"Of course." The two coaches chatted very friendly.

　I really want to see how those tentacle monsters type. The starting point is far faster than Jinjiang in terms of update speed. There are a lot of weekly updates in Jinjiang, you must not imagine it haha
