The night before the start of the second round of the national competition. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A hostel where the Akagi Junior High School baseball team stays.

Yang Ping and his friends discussed how to deal with the strong line of Fuqiu Middle School and the strategy of dealing with Yuyan Hashimoto, the No. 1 pitcher in the middle school era.

For tomorrow's game, neither the media nor the audience think that the city high school baseball team has the strength to challenge Fuqiu Middle School. Even according to Yang Ping's own estimates, the odds of the Akagi Middle School baseball team winning are not high.

Although competing for the overall quality of pitchers, Sawamura Eijun may not lose to Hashimoto Yuhiko. But in other aspects, whether it is a catcher or a fielder, the striking strength and garrison ability are not on the same level.

In this case, if you want to turn things around, it is not something that can be done with conventional play.

As the old saying goes, if the enemy is strong and I am weak, we need to win by surprise.

If the Akagi High School baseball team wants to win, it must not be able to play according to the routine.

"As the main pitcher of the national team, Hashimoto's strength is naturally undoubted. It's not realistic to want to take a lot of points from him. So, tomorrow is bound to be a very fierce pitching battle. If we want to win, we have to take advantage of his weaknesses and try to score as many points as we can in one go. ”

The adversary is a representative of the country, and it is not all bad. At the very least, it is much easier to gather intelligence. As the main pitcher of the national team, Hashimoto Yuyan's information can be found at hand.

Yuhishi Hashimoto: 14 years old. A third-year student at Fuqiu Middle School. He started playing baseball in the first grade of elementary school and showed amazing talent as a pitcher, serving as the main pitcher or substitute pitcher for the national teams at all levels. The ball speed itself is not fast, only about 135 kilometers. With a natural ability to control the ball, according to media reports, the good ball area can be divided into nine squares. In addition, his knuckle is also an extremely terrifying weapon. Battering is the third baseball player in Fuqiu Middle School and the second baseball in the national team, and he is a baseball player who is extremely terrifying in both aspects.

"The ball speed is only 135 km/h."

After reading Hashimoto's information, the friends of the Akagi Middle School baseball team felt very strange. The man who is the main pitcher for the national team doesn't seem to be very strong.

Azawa Shu has three kinds of deciding balls, Harada Takumi who can freely control straight balls up and down, and Sawamura Eisumi who has a natural quirk ball......

The friends of the Akagi Middle School baseball team who have seen the beaters do not seem to be weaker than him. It even feels stronger than him!

Yang Ping scratched his head, not knowing how to explain to his friends what a powerful weapon ball control is! If explained, it is likely to discourage the confidence and enthusiasm of the little friends. But if you don't explain, when you really face Hashimoto Yuyan, what kind of strength can the friends play?

"Because there has never been an opponent with possession of the ball before, even if you have good possession, you can at most separate the inside and outside corners. You don't know what the concept of dividing a good ball into a nine-square grid is? ”

In the end, Yang Ping still thinks that it is better to let the friends have a psychological preparation.

"Our previous strategy was to aim for straight balls that were easy to hit." This is not just about hitting a few weak friends. Flower Shadow, Onizuka Ryuichi is the same. The only players on the Akagi Middle School baseball team who can shoot at all the balls are Yang Ping and Sawamura. Sawamura's blow was still very accidental. Sometimes it's supernatural and it's not strange to hit a home run, and sometimes it's a strikeout. In addition to short hits, and deceptive blows, his blows are also difficult to hope for.

"But against a pitcher who really has the ball, a straight ball that is easy to play, it won't come. If you combine it with a catcher with a good mind. Such pitchers are, in some ways, more difficult to deal with than Azawa Shu and Harada Taku. ”

Yang Ping's words made Akagi's friends a little dazed, against An Zexiu and against Harada Qiao in the last game, Akagi's line all relied on Yang Ping's personal ability. A pitcher who is stronger than the two of them, this kind of guy makes his friends feel extremely powerless just thinking about it.

"Of course, although this kind of pitcher is difficult to deal with, it will not make it difficult for us to shoot like Harada Qiao, as long as we are well entangled, there is still hope for hitting a hit. Even if we can't hit a hit, it's good for us to be able to get him to shoot a few more shots. We have to drag the suspense of victory and defeat to the last game or two, only in this way can we have a chance to reverse the difference in strength and reduce the number of points. ”

In addition to Yuhiko Hashimoto, the more eye-catching ones at Tomioka Middle School are Ichiro Mizusawa, Yui Kami, and Taiga.

First of all, Ichiro Mizusawa has a batting percentage of 5 to 2 and a base rate of 6 to 5. There were a total of 45 home runs in middle school! (Compared with Yang Ping, this data seems to be inconspicuous.) In fact, Ichiro Mizusawa has played too many international competitions, and his statistics are completely different from Yang Ping's statistics. ）

In addition to the three bats and four bats, Yui Fumi, who hit the second bat, and Dahe, who hit the fifth bat, are also extremely difficult beaters. Aside from these four players with outstanding strength, the other players in Fuqiu Middle School, one of them is counted as one, and they are all extremely powerful baseball masters.

In terms of the strength of the line, the Tomioka High School baseball team is undoubtedly the most terrifying opponent Akagi has ever faced.

I can't see it without comparison, but once you compare the strength on paper, the gap between the Akagi Middle School baseball team and Fuqiu Middle School is simply scary.

"As long as Sawamura can suppress the beaters of Fugaoka Middle School, and our wild players work hard enough. Then the goddess of victory will not abandon us. Drag it out to the end, formulate a strategy, score points, and defeat Fuqiu Middle School in one go. Do you have faith? ”

Onizuka Ryuichi smiled bitterly: "If you don't have confidence, you can still retreat here?" ”

"In that case, what else is there to say? Damn. ”

Takeshi Yamada: Doesn't that sound cool?

Hanakage: Absolutely.

……

The Akagi High School baseball team is united in discussing the strategy against Tomioka Middle School. At the same time, the people of Fuqiu Middle School were naturally not idle.

On the huge LCD screen, the match between the Akagi High School baseball team and Nitta Middle School was replayed many times.

In the end, his coach concluded: "Except for Yang Ping, who played the fourth baseball, the other players in the Akagi Middle School baseball team are of average strength, and it should not be a big problem to completely suppress them." ”

"The problem is not their hitter, it's the pitcher. If you want to make it to the Akagi High School baseball team, you must first defeat their pitchers. ”

Hashimoto's analysis hit the nail on the head.

"That's right, his natural quirk ball is quite tricky."
