Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 8 The road ahead
This team is a lively and disciplined organization. During a meal, the two newcomers of Gao Zhiye were greeted by the team in turn. One even came with a plate and showed them how to do it. After eating the fist-sized chicken wings and deboning them in one bite, the man bowed and took a bow amidst the booing of the people around him.

After the meal, everyone was rushed to the playground for a walk to digest food, the sparse team stretched for a long time, Gao Zhiye mixed in the infield group, and Lang Zhi had already found a person who chatted with the elementary school, that is, complained about various teachers .

"That bald math teacher turned out to be the head teacher of your class, so you really worked hard."

"That's right, I didn't expect that in the last year, it would be replaced by that demon."

"Haha, what you said is exaggerated." The observer laughed.

"Really, devil. Isn't that right, Sasaki?"

"I still get hairy thinking about it now." Lang Zhi replied.

Then the two began to talk about the demonic deeds of the former math teacher. Gao Zhiye wandered on the edge of the crowd, listening with one ear and the other.

Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of the pair of eyes in front of him. It seemed to be the second army catcher named Hayakawa Akira. He stopped beside him, as if he was waiting for someone, and he seemed to be waiting for himself, so Gao Zhiye nodded first, and the other party also stood shoulder to shoulder. And go.

"Gao Jun, after today's training, Coach Ninomiya asked you to go to his office."

Gao Zhiye was a little surprised, but still complied.

Hayakawa explained: "It's probably the arrangement for your training. By the way, your ball is quite interesting. You can come to me for warm-up later."

The two of them here just started talking, when there was a noise from the side: "You are lying, are you two brothers?"

"It's not the same at all." "The surname is also different."

"Don't be so loud, it's remarriage, remarriage!" This meant that the leaked Lang Zhi was making amends, "Don't shout so loudly."

Gao Zhiye faced everyone's gaze speechlessly, and then looked at the short man who turned his face away from him.

"Haha, younger brothers are always so annoying." Looking at the junior high school students who brought up other topics over there, Hayakawa smiled, and Takano asked: "Does Hayakawa-kun have younger brothers?"

"There are two, one is two years younger than me, and the other is a cousin, but they have been living in my house since childhood, just like a younger brother."

"That house must be very lively. There is only one in my house, and it is already dead."

"Yes, when I was young, my parents were not at home and asked me to take care of them. As a result, the two of them quarreled and fought. I pulled them away, and they sat on the ground crying. Ah, it was so noisy. At that time, my parents were coming back. If Let them see the two younger brothers crying, they must blame me, so I sat on the ground and cried together." Hayakawa Qiu is a hearty child, with a smile full of helplessness towards himself at the time, which made Gao Zhiye laugh too.

"Then what happened in the end, did you get quarreled?"

"No, hahaha, now that I think about it, as soon as my parents opened the door, there was a wave of crying from three children, which must have given them a headache."

Today's weather is very good, unexpectedly not muggy.

After being driven to the playground for 10 minutes, some people couldn't help touching the ball, but there was no strenuous exercise, just passing and catching the ball. "Mr. Hayakawa, do you play toss and catch?" Hayakawa readily agreed.

After the two threw a few balls, Gao Zhiye couldn't help being curious.

"What time do we start practicing in the afternoon?"

"Grandma Gu Yue didn't tell you, we'll digest food for half an hour and have a lunch break for half an hour before starting the afternoon practice. It's about 2 o'clock."

"There's one more question I've been wanting to ask, have all your members been here for a long time?"

"Yes, I have been here since I moved to the neighborhood in the fifth grade of elementary school. It has been almost three years. Most of you came here from elementary school."

"Ah, then we are both sophomores."

Slowly, three or two at first, then four or five, everyone entered the indoor training ground one after another.

"Gao-jun, it's time for a lunch break. If you continue to exercise, you won't be able to sleep at all." Hayakawa put the ball into the basket and took Gao Zhiye back. The artificial turf in the indoor training ground was covered with mattresses, and the air conditioner was turned on. .

Lang Zhi was waving at him over there, and the two of them found a mat at random, rolled up their baseball uniforms, and fell asleep under the head mat, thinking they would not be able to fall asleep, but when they woke up again, it was the sound of the coach urging them to get up.

'After taking a break, I feel refreshed and my arms are not sore anymore'.After helping the logistics staff to put away and fold the mats together, the training in the afternoon began.

As usual, the warm-up consisted of running and stretching. The venue had already been set up. When everyone was having fun and hitting, Takano followed Coach Yoshioka to the side, facing a T-frame, and began to correct the hitting movements.

"The waist should be straight, but the chest should not be straight, and the upper body should be relaxed."

"When preparing, the right arm at the back can be lifted, and the left arm should be tightened, but when striking, both arms should be close to the body. The process of the rear arm from relaxing to clamping is also to accelerate the swing for yourself, so the beginning Keep your back arms up as you prepare."

"Hit the ball with a flat swing from the side. It's okay this time, remember the feeling."

Takano sweated a little on his head, "It's said that the coach taught the rhythm very fast, and there were many key points in the movements, which were accumulated one by one. We should not only keep what we remembered before, but also modify some without destroying the previous ones. Difficult'.

However, coach Yoshioka sighed in his heart, "Not bad, he has good control over his body."

After Gao Zhiye had almost found the feeling of hitting, before he could catch his breath, Yoshioka withdrew the T frame again and began to throw the ball for him to hit.

"Huh—" By the time Coach Yoshioka asked him to watch the actual combat practice, Gao Zhiye was already very tired.

"Baseball, why is it different from what I imagined before? I keep repeating, correcting and repeating. I feel excited for a while, and most of the time is boring." He wiped his sweat and went back outside. Everyone on the field has already opened up. .

Coach Ninomiya stood in front of the home plate, the bat in his hand was hanging on the side of the basket.

"In the first round, four groups took turns to play, and each group had half a basket of balls. My balls would fly anywhere, so I cheered up."

"In the first case, there is no one on the base, and the catcher pays attention."

"Are you ready?!"

"Hi--!"

Coach Ninomiya hit first and second bases with his first bat. The catcher yelled: "First base!" The ball rolled in front of the right fielder. He picked it up with one hand and quickly threw it to first base.

The second bat was hit to the front of the shortstop, and the shortstop made a swoop to block it, and it was passed to the first base amidst the shouts of everyone on the first base.

"Call out!"

The third bat will fly over the head of the second baseman, but the second baseman still can't reach it.

"Kitahara, Fujiwara, Yoshino, why are you three outfielders so shallow? The next hitter is a slugger, right-handed and right-handed. He is good at putting and hitting. In the last few games, he hit a 5% hit rate. He hit a home plate in the last game. Fight. Quickly think about how to defend!"

"Hey, let's do the questions on the spot", the brainwaves of the two brothers who were trainees next to them rarely coincided.

Everyone in the field moved to the defense tacitly. The second baseman stood directly behind the center line of the first and second bases. The baseman was just in time to field and was immediately passed to first base.

Coach Ninomiya knocked out half of the basket of balls, stopped to catch his breath, "Change team!"

After the rotation of the four groups was completed, an hour and a half had passed, and the time came to 04:30. At this time, the coach of the infield group had been replaced by Coach Yoshida, who was knocking on the coaching stick.

"Back to the first group again, this time the pitcher comes up, the second group is ready to hit, and the outside corner is limited."

A man I saw in the bullpen that day ran up the mound. He was a man with a certain style, with a well-developed maxillofacial and sharp downward corners of the mouth, which gave him a sense of calm intelligence.

"I feel that he will be very good at solving the problems..." Lang Zhi practiced his swing beside him.

The first ball is straight, about 130, the outer corner is high, out of bounds.

On the second pitch, the slider turned to the outside corner and landed in bad ball, where the hitter held back.

The third pitch, with the glove set low in the outside corner, hit the sweet spot for a single.

Straight ball + slider, it seems that the pitcher only has these two types of balls. If the ball is in possession, 10-3 out of 4 balls are far from the glove. Leaving, he took a deep breath.

"In the duel state, the outer corner is restricted again. It seems that there is pressure. I don't know when I will be able to play." Gao Zhiye held the ball in his hand and slowly covered the ball to warm it up.

In the final duel, the two groups that lost had to stay to clean up the field, but everyone basically stayed, Gao Zhiye also joined in, picked up the ball, and when passing by other people, they could still feel The heat, 'I really want to play'.

"Lang Zhi, wait for me at the indoor training ground later. Coach Ninomiya wants me to go to the staff room to say something." Gao Zhiye decided to express his desire to join as soon as possible when he decided to talk later.

Maybe it's because of the expression on his face. When Coach Nigong finished summarizing today's work and returned to his office, he glanced at him. It seemed that the words he had planned had been overturned. The first sentence he asked was: "Gao Jun, what are you doing?" Did you tear off the plastic wrap?"

Gao Zhiye was stunned for a moment, before he could answer, Coach Ninomiya sat down opposite Gao Zhiye and leaned back on the armchair. Although he didn't complain, the absent-minded and comfortable expression on the back of the chair made him Gao Zhiye understood that this person was not young anymore.

Coach Nigong sat up straight and placed the water cup between the two of them: "Gao Jun, suppose the water here is the nutrients you absorb every day. Otherwise, these nutrients will make your current body stronger. Otherwise, it will make you taller, but he will always have an upper limit, although your upper limit is also increasing, if you let yourself choose, you will choose to use it for height or for strength.”

Gao Zhiye seemed to understand a little bit, so he said pointedly: "Half and half."

"Haha, you are 13 years old now, you are already 1 meters, and you have grown 82 centimeters in the past six months. Then about 2-7% of the nutrients you absorb are used to grow taller."

"Go back to the plastic wrap. At the same length, pull the plastic wrap to both sides, and the plastic wrap will become thinner. The same is true for people. If you grow too tall and have insufficient bone density within a limited time of nutrition, you will lose weight. It makes it easy to get injured, because you also don’t have muscles to protect you, why, because nutrition is used to grow taller, not to grow muscles. So you understand.”

Gao Zhiye nodded quickly, and listened attentively. It felt a little familiar, like seeing a doctor in China. Usually, there are too many people. Because there are not many people, the doctor has time to explain to you the specific condition and the principle of taking medicine.

"So, don't worry, you and your younger brother are just watching the trainee today, but you will learn quickly, you must lay a solid foundation ahead. Pay special attention, don't practice more after you go home, the club's training volume is already enough You guys just need to rest after leaving the club." Coach Ninomiya's brow furrowed, and his expression was a little kind at this time.

Gao Zhiye nodded again. As expected, it was the head coach who had passed many children in his hands, and he lost the thought of going home to practice pitching.

"A lot of kids have gone out from us, and few of them actually played baseball in the end, but in the end, because of the baseball they learned here, everyone has a hobby that can be devoted to in their later life." Coach Ninomiya raised his eyebrows , the eyelids drooping due to aging were raised, and the eyes that were half covered by the eyelids on weekdays were completely focused on the opposite child, "Gao Jun, you understand, you have a long life, and to put it bluntly, you are very talented, According to the training plan we set for you, you may be able to rely on baseball for a living in the future."

Gao Zhiye had never felt such a high level of excitement before he got the evaluation of "very talented" from a head coach. Even in the track and field team, he has been carrying out suppression education. Laughing like a country boy who had been to the city, all the bones in his body were sore, he suppressed his trembling, and looked at the old man with burning eyes.

"I understand, Coach Ninomiya."

　Happy National Day everyone, I woke up at home today~
　　I’ve been researching and writing related things all day today, why?
　　Because I received the signing contract, my mental journey is probably surprise-excitement-retreat-firm
　　[Surprise] I used to generate electricity for love before, and I was stationed at the green station before. Because I came to the starting point because of Drilling A and Humanities, I thought it was a deep mountain and old forest with few people. I yelled "Hello", but suddenly someone in the mountain returned me "Hello", startled me

　　[Excited] The first time I saw a live editor

　　[Retreat] I have limited ability, I don’t know if I can write a novel with no bugs and a smooth plot, and the scale of the novel with a starting point of hundreds of thousands always makes me amazed
　　[Firmness] After work, the first thing I learned was to change "I want to do" into "I want to do", so I took apart the complicated feelings in my heart, made a simple SOP, and my mood improved It became clear, because I dismembered the monster, and after dismembering them, they didn't look tall anymore.

　　1. What do I need to do to sign the contract?

　　2. What do I need to do to guarantee the daily update and word count

　　3. What do I need to do to ensure that the work is complete and bug-free

　　4. What do I need to do to ensure that the work is wonderful

　　5. How to ensure that your efforts will be rewarded, and how to verify your own gains

　　After talking so much nonsense, what is the conclusion, that is, I will draw up the outline on the National Day, and write it to about [-]. If I feel that I can write it down at that time, I will sign a contract (anyway, I have to go to the company to print the contract)
　　I built a bunch of folders today, some of which are for baseball materials, and some for various settings of articles. I wrote this after a day of writing. . .
