Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 80 First Victory

The plane landed, because Japan and Taiwan are in the same time zone, so there is no jet lag. The only thing to pay attention to is acclimatization, so after the Japanese team arrived at the specified hotel, they booked nearby Japanese food.

The first day was rest time. Coach Ninomiya was busy coordinating related matters, and the players practiced swinging in the backyard.

As I practiced, some people began to get distracted.

"Can I go out for a walk tonight?"

"It may not be possible today, I don't know where I can go shopping."

"Didn't you also exchange Taiwan dollars? When will you buy something?"

"Didn't Gao Jun say a few days ago that he is Chinese, so why not let him take us shopping?"

"That's right!"

Gao Zhiye, who was next to him as a wallflower, received everyone's attention: "I have to ask the coach first if it's okay."

"Yeah! The biggest obstacle is gone!"

"This obstacle disappeared a few days ago, okay? Did you lose your mind during the meeting?" This meeting refers to the internal communication meeting of the players. Every day, three to 10 minutes before the lights are turned off, everyone will chat.

"Yo Xi, everyone practice swinging well, concentrate on this time, I will ask the coach, let's go out together." Hayakawa saw that after the discussion, the people who were serious began to swing softly, and immediately guided everyone .

"Okay! Captain"

Gao Zhiye whispered to Hayakawa on the side: "Don't even think about going to the night market at night. If you are not used to eating and have diarrhea before the game, what should you do? Let's go shopping after the game is over."

After coming to Japan, Takano also had a period of incompatibility for a long time. The diet here is very extreme. It is true that most of them are light soup with little water, but if you want to eat some meat, it is either tempura or Barbecue can also match the main food with the main food. Like the ramen that the Japanese eat, it is a pile of noodles covered with fried food. The only green is green onion, and the only healthy thing is a pile of bean sprouts.

In the evening, Coach Ninomiya came back and announced the order of the preliminaries. The Japanese team was in Group A, with Australia, Cuba, Russia, Chinese Taipei and Venezuela in the same group. The opponent on the first day was the Chinese Taipei team.

Hayakawa touched Gao Zhiye quietly, and when Gao Zhiye looked over, Hayakawa raised his eyebrows, quite meaningfully.

"It's okay, I don't feel sorry for beating them. Anyway, the civil war between us and Taiwan hasn't stopped yet."

On the third day after the arrival of the Japanese team, the game officially started at the Intercontinental Baseball Stadium at 6:[-] pm.

The last match of the Chinese team was No.5, while the Japanese team was No.7. According to the statistics of the past years, Japan’s ranking behind the Chinese team is slightly more, so this time the starter is Takano .

In this game, the Japanese team attacked from the back. When they were warming up on the field, the idle people of the Chinese team on the third base side were talking.

"Gao Zhiye, the pitcher on the other side is called Gao Zhiye, this is Gao Zhiye, or Gao Zhiye."

"Of course the surname is Gao. I've never heard of a Japanese surnamed Gao, haha."

"What's so strange, I read the news a few days ago, and I heard that someone named 'my grandson' made me laugh."

"What onion news did you watch?"

Amidst the discussions, someone finally thought about it: "This name seems to be a Chinese name, do you want to ask where he is from?"

Everyone was quiet, and immediately burst into laughter: "Who are you going to ask, is there a hole in the brain, hahahaha."

The man said weakly: "You can ask me one last time, what are you laughing at?"

"Then leave it to you."

Gao Zhiye didn't know that his name caused a commotion on the opposite side. He looked back at his teammates behind him, and it was the first time he was with them in an official game. The strangeness welled up in his heart, and half a month of getting along was hard to wear off. The memory produced in one year, fortunately, Hayakawa behind the home plate is familiar to him.

The air defense siren sounded, and Gao Zhiye did not delay, and directly threw the ball. A ball fell from more than 2 meters to the hitter's knee.

"nice shot--"

After three ups and downs in the first game, the atmosphere on the bench of the Chinese team became not very good. Although I have seen it from the video, after really facing the power of this ball, I still can't help but feel sad. Qi Qiran, it's too difficult to deal with, isn't this guy, is this year's Japanese team all such guys?

After that, the Chinese team failed to start the game for two consecutive rounds. At the same time, their bullpen was still on fire, and they had already lost 5 points. After three rounds, the current score is 5:0, and the Japanese team is leading.

"You guys watched that Japanese pitcher's ball for a round, show me more clearly, and hit it quickly."

"it is good--"

Unfortunately, things backfired. At the beginning of the fourth inning, Takano had more changeup balls, such as fast carter balls running toward the outside corner of the right hitter, second seam balls running toward the inside corner of the right hitter, and falling changeup balls, because Coach Ninomiya restricted him to only He shoots straight balls, so he can only work on the common trajectory of these balls, so that the hitters keep guessing the speed and the type of balls, and finally end up one after another.

'Damn it, is it possible that we are going to eat duck eggs this time? "At home, the start was so bad that they might be scolded to death by the media. The head coach of the Chinese team only dared to say this in his heart, "The next game is Russia, so we should get more points from them." '

At the end, Takano was still on the stage. He blew off the extra anti-skid powder on his hand, stared at Hayakawa's signal and nodded.

The first ball was a straight ball with a low outer corner, and the hitter who had been waiting for the straight ball had tasted the way he wanted, but he still couldn't control it well, and the power was not fully transmitted to the ball, causing the ball to be directly bored near the second base. The second baseman quickly picked up the ball and blocked it at first base.

"one out!"

Seeing that it was time to call it a day and Takano no longer saved his energy, Hayakawa felt the pitcher's mood, and the number of changeups decreased. Since they were all waiting for straight balls, then give them straight balls!
The next batter, two balls out of bounds, the last ball missed.

"two out!"

Two straight balls and a changeup successfully struck out the last batter.

The current score is 9:0, and there is still an attack in the second half of the game. If it is a junior high school game, it can be stopped completely, because the junior high school game is based on winning or losing. In this way, the Japanese team has already won, but the U15 game is based on scoring and losing. The score ratio, so it is necessary to finish all half of the game.

The morale of the second half of the game that has already been lost can be imagined, so the Japanese team scored another three points one after another. When the air defense siren sounded in the sky again, the score of the game stopped at 12:0, and the Japanese team won.

After the game, Takano turned around and walked away with everyone, but was stopped by someone in broken Japanese.

"You can speak Chinese." Gao Zhiye was a little helpless. In fact, before playing today, he was thinking whether he should communicate with the other party, but he denied himself first.

"Ah!" There was a shocked voice behind, "You can speak Mandarin."

"I'm from mainland China." Gao Zhiye's words didn't resonate much with the other party. They discussed some things, such as "so the surname is Gao", and a little unfamiliar standing far away, Gao Zhiye Looking at the scene, it didn't make much sense, it was silly for him to stand so nobody paid any attention to him, so he turned around and left.

Finally, when they were about to leave the venue, they ran into the Chinese team again. The person who had stopped Gao Zhiye at the beginning left the team and asked for Gao Zhiye's Facebook account.

On the way back, Gao Zhiye was a little depressed, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling. He still remembered the texts he had learned in elementary school. After getting in touch with Taiwanese people, he realized that it was only the mainland that was hot. When he was young, he taught the children how much they liked each other, but after he really got in touch with them, there was such a contrast.

Although the scenery outside the window is not very familiar, he can understand what they said, and the diet is also in the same set of recipes, but he doesn't feel like returning to a familiar place.

　Today is really a hell, two groups of people @ each other in the group, pushing each other
