Chapter Fifty-Six: Variable Ball? (1st Update)
Fujio, a veteran reporter for "Baseball Kingdom", defined the duel between Yang Ping and Harada as the decisive moment of the game. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Later, Fujifu introduced this statement into his own report.
Although Seido High School has a lot of star players, like the catcher's Miyuki Kazuya, like two pitchers with very different styles, Akira Shibuyani and Eijun Sawamura. Like Yoichi Kuramochi, who has the name of a cheetah......
But when it comes to the core of the team, there is no doubt that it is their fourth baseman, Yang Ping!
The duel between Yang Ping and Harada Qiao can be said to be the pinnacle duel between the two teams, and the result of such a duel directly affects the morale and situation of the two teams.
In the previous two matchups, Yang Ping hit a well-timed hit and a three-base long hit.
On the surface, in today's matchup, Yang Ping seems to have a certain advantage.
But this was not the case, and although he was beaten with two long shots, Harada only lost one point. And in the process of playing against other Qingdao players, he has always shown overwhelming strength.
Although judging from the results, he seems to be weaker than Yang Ping. But in fact, in terms of momentum, the two are on par.
This is not only the Kanto No. 1 audience putting gold on their faces, but even the substitutes and fans of Seido are recognized. As supporters, they know too well the striking strength of Yang Ping.
Yang Ping is definitely an outlier among the beaters, he can't hit a home run, and he doesn't perform well.
Harada Qiao can let Yang Ping play two seats, and he didn't hit a home run, and his performance is already very good. If Harada Qiao really strikes Yang Ping, then Qingdao will be finished.
As long as you think that there is a batter standing on the pitcher's mound who can shake Yang Ping three times, then Qingdao's striking lineup will inevitably suffer a catastrophe.
Yang Ping can't do it, what can they do?
No matter how much you cheer yourself up in your heart, the fact is that all the beaters in Qingdao recognize Yang Ping's strength. Once Yang Ping is really struck, then everyone will subconsciously think that the pitcher is the top level in the country.
In this case, they will also be constrained to deal with it.
……
Of course, Yang Ping himself is also clear about this pressure. That's why he's hitting fewer home runs.
If he makes a mistake, it will not only affect him, but the entire Qingdao strike lineup will be weakened.
So he can't be struck out, or even easily addressed. Only hit hits, long hits, home runs! He can lead Qingdao forward.
Although this has strengthened the cohesion of Qingdao High School to a certain extent, it also one-sidedly shows that this seemingly powerful Qingdao team actually has a lot of problems.
It is difficult for a superstitious ace pitcher or a super strong team to really dominate the country.
The team of the national champions, although there is also a core. But there must also be combat power that does not believe in the core and replaces the core.
It's like a green road in summer.
The core is the captain Tetsuya Yuki, but there are also beaters who are not inferior to the core, giving strong support.
Without further ado, let's move on to the game.
No one is out, no one is on base.
The hitter is Yang Ping, and the pitcher is Harada Takeshi.
This is the right time, although it is only a matchup, but it is also related to the final outcome of this game.
Both were very cautious.
Even Yongcang Hao's ball distribution is very cautious.
The trick of deceiving the beater's sight was of no use to Yang Ping, not to mention that he had fought before, and he had also received information before the game. Even if there is none, the reports in the media are clearly written.
Yang Ping has excellent dynamic vision, if you talk about the vision of ball selection, I am afraid that the whole world has searched for it, and it is extremely difficult to find one that can match Yang Ping. Didong's three-dimensional pitching to the well sun can't do it, let alone Harada's little bit of work.
decided to face off head-to-head, and Okuraho will not back down.
Just use a straight ball to suppress Yang Ping!
He gave Harada Qiao a code, although the previous straight ball was also hit by Yang Ping. But after all, he didn't hit a home run, in other words, Yang Ping didn't play well.
Maybe, with good luck, Yang Ping played poorly this time. Maybe there will be an infield rolling earth, an outfield high flying ball or something.
Pitcher Takakami Harada nodded, then shook his head again.
This is the first time that he has an opinion on Hiroshi Nagakura's matching.
The two have the same mind, and although Harada's opinion is implicit, Nagakura still understands what he means.
Use straight balls to get the best shots, then use variable balls to battle it out!
Although Yang Ping's speedball hitting rate is very high, it is precisely because of this that he may not be wary of Harada's speedball.
After all, other people's speed balls are just about 110 or 120, but Harada is different.
Harada's second gear has a speed of more than 140 kilometers per hour. If the hitter really aims for the speedball to hit, it may not be too late to swing the bat.
It's a bit risky, but it's not necessarily a good strategy.
Nagakura nodded and agreed to Harada's suggestion.
After all, the opponent is Yang Ping, even if he throws a straight ball, no one dares to guarantee that there is no danger.
"Whoosh!"
After figuring it out, Harada's pitch came with a roar.
Yang Ping squinted his eyes, sure enough!
Harada's pitch is so weird that you can't tell if it's going to rise or sink at the distance before you reach it.
Harada Qiao's pitching, the reason why it is named Phantom is not for nothing.
Except for a hitter of Yang Ping's level, it is not easy for other hitters to aim for Harada's ball. That kind of upward and downward path may bypass the bat and make the batter's swing miss.
I saw that the baseball was there, but when I hit it, the baseball was pierced like a shadow.
That's where phantom pitching comes in!
Of course, this is also caused by the fact that the ball speed is too fast, people can't see the baseball clearly, and they have an illusion.
This ball, Yang Ping did not swing the bat.
Playing a ball like Harada, Yang Ping has a headache. He is not good at dealing with pitches that deceive the line of sight, and Harada is the best at throwing this kind of ball. If there is a restrained relationship between the two, then Harada is definitely Yang Ping's nemesis.
Of course, after the breakthrough of internal breath, Yang Ping's swing has also made great progress. Now he can completely imitate the wind and thunder strike method formed by the formation.
It doesn't matter if you hit the center of the ball or not, just sweep the ball out with a swing of the bat.
Although the landing point is not accurate, it is difficult to hit long shots. But fortunately, the baseball was played out, and the ball came out at a speed.
Baseball, which has a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, is not easy to pass through the defenders of the hitters, but it is also difficult to get there.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
For two consecutive balls, Yang Ping did not swing the bat, and he seemed to consciously let Harada's pitch go.
The third ball, no matter what the ball was, Yang Ping decided to hit the ball out.
Just then, Harada's third goal came.
This ball is exactly the same as the straight ball just now.
Yang Ping was confused for a moment.
Suddenly, Yang Ping's heart was excited.
