"Tsurumi High School's regular tactics!?" As one of the first-year students, Tsuchihara was the first to ask in confusion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the coach saw that the opening of Tsurumi High School still used their 10,000-year-old observation and waiting tactics, so he immediately played tactical sign language to the catcher Maki and pitcher Hayakawa on the field: Maki, Hayakawa, hang him with the middle ball, if the opponent is not fooled and does not shoot, then give me a dignified shot to death!
On the field, Maki and Hayakawa quickly saw the coach play their tactical sign language and immediately went into action.
When Hayakawa threw the third ball, he immediately threw a fastball right in the middle of the ball to test the opponent.
Of course, when Hayakawa threw the ball like this, helping to defend his teammates on the field was also ready for Hayakawa's ball to be struck, especially the three outfielders were ready for this ball.
Even everyone in the rest area was so frightened by the ball that they all stood up and watched with bated breath the outcome of the first matchup between their ace pitchers Hayakawa and Tsurumi on the court.
"Whew~~"
"Pong! ~”
"Three good balls, the batsman is out! ~”
As soon as the referee announced the final result of the ball, everyone on the side of Aoba Dodai High School breathed a sigh of relief, and read it one by one: "Whew~~ Yo Xi, damn guy, you really don't fight!" ~~”
"Yo West~~"
"It's done! ~”
After striking out one batter, Tsurumi's second batter soon walked up to the sound of the stadium announcement.
Like the first batter before him, he didn't need to make a few preparatory moves before he started to hit like the opponent he had met before Aoba Dodai High School, but stood there as soon as he came up waiting for Hayakawa's pitch to come.
Needless to say, the appearance of Tsurumi's second batter seems to everyone at Aoba Dodai High School that this guy is ready to sacrifice the blow to visually observe Hayakawa's ball path, as well as the ball matching habits between the two of them with the catcher Maki!
For a hitter like Tsurumi High School, who is a blatant outing of the game, Hayakawa naturally won't be soft and throws three speedballs in the middle of the road to solve it.
However, after the third hitter of Tsurumi High School came up, Hayakawa and Maki changed their previous habits and struck three speedballs with different angles to knock out the third hitter of Tsurumi High School by hanging the ball in the middle, the top of the outside corner and the bottom of the inside corner respectively.
That's it.,In the first half of the first game,Aoba Daotai High School was in no danger.,It's even said that the degree of surprise is so weak that it's almost negligible.,It's safe!
And in the second half of the next game, it was their turn to attack, and the beaters at Aoba Dodai High School were not as generous as Tsurumi High School gave them out of the game, so everyone was waiting in the rest area for the next moment to strike.
At this time, coach Kawano reminded Akai, who was waiting for the first one to go on the court and prepare to hit, and said: "Akai, don't be in a hurry to play the bat, play when you see it, and pay attention to the opponent's change ball!" ”
"Hay, coach I will, then I'm on the field!" Akai nodded and bowed to thank the coach for the reminder, and then walked on the field excitedly.
After arriving at the strike zone, Akai first kicked the dirt on the ground a few times, and then stepped on two deep footprints on the ground in the strike zone he had sorted out and stood up, just like the Shaolin Temple warrior monks practiced, stepping on the ground and sinking it.
Then he shook the bat twice in his hand before pinning to the position of his right shoulder, and turned his head to stare at Tsurumi High School's starting pitcher Blowing Stone standing on the pitcher's hill with sharp eyes.
Soon, Tsurumi High School pitcher Tsurumi threw his first pitch of the game.
"Whew~"
It was a curveball with a speed of up to 137 km/h, and the ball was hit low at the knee in the inside corner, and Akai reacted to the ball as soon as he hit it, but in the end, because the ball was so hanging, he hesitated to make a shot and only shook it at the right shoulder, and then watched the baseball go into the catcher's glove.
"Oh no, Luo (damn): This guy's ball is good enough!" Akai thought as he looked at the ball in the catcher's glove.
Thinking of this, Akai immediately made adjustments to the way he hit the second ball, and even used a striking stance to place the bat on the home plate to block it from the beginning.
This made Tsurumi High School a little big, but because the ball was already equipped before, the pitcher of Tsurumi High School Fukishi would throw the ball hard.
In the second ball, he threw a slippery ball, and the ball was still hit in the inside corner and down Akai's knee, but because Akai had the initial touch and hit the bar in front of the catcher's glove, the ball thrown by Fukishi was a little more deviated from the route he and the catcher had originally intended.
At this time, if Akai let go of this ball, even if the last ball was caught by the arrester, it would be declared a bad ball by the referee.
But Akai didn't let go of this opportunity to hit because of this, but changed the stance of hitting the bat, retracting the baseball back to a normal hit, and then swinging the baton hard.
"Great! ~”
After the crisp sound sounded, everyone's hearts on the court immediately trembled, especially on the side of Tsurumi High School, all the guards on the field shouted loudly to remind their teammates to notice after seeing Akai hit the ball out: "Pay attention to the ball coming~~"
"Left fielder! ~”
Actually, it didn't take anyone to say anything, and the left fielder from Tsurumi High School had already run towards the baseball that flew out, but in the end he still didn't catch the ball.
Because the ball hit by Akai was very flat, and it only flew out about 3 meters above the ground, so the ball landed quickly.
However, Aoba Dodai High School didn't get a hitter because the ball went out of bounds.
"Wow~~ It's dangerous! ~~”
"Yo Xi, just fight like this!"
People on both sides of the world greeted the next ball with different moods.
But in fact, this will, the Aoba Daotai side obviously has an advantage, so everyone in the rest area praised Akai for playing well: "Haha...... Okay, Akai-kun did a good job, so he got it right! ”
"Good fight!"
"Come on, Akai-kun, try to make a ruthless shot!"
On the side of the rest area, the captain Anno, who was sitting next to coach Kawano, also cheered for Akai at this time: "What a good idea, it seems that Tsurumi is annoying!" ”
Hearing Anno's words, Kasugayun didn't quite understand the details of Akai's blow, so he asked Anno with doubts: "Captain, Akai's ball just now obviously blocked the ball with a touch first, and then retracted and swung the stick out to strike, is this okay!?" ”
Yasuno answered Kasuga's question with a smile and helped him popularize science: "Of course you can, this style of play is called decoy play, and it is usually used for a common response style used by hitters when they can't master the pitching path. Because the type of stroke at the beginning is different from the actual type of stroke used at the end, it is a method that makes it easier for the pitcher to hit the incoming ball even if the pitcher cannot change the path of the ball after throwing it.
Akai-kun is now using the normal swing of the strike and the normal swing of the hit, and this is the normal way of turning the hit posture to the touch hit; Both methods can get a very good hitting effect, depending on how sure the hitter is in the face of the pitcher's ball! ”
"Oh~~ I see, then this striking method is really a very troublesome and headache for the pitcher!" Kasugamo said after listening to Anno's popular science.
But at this time, Anye added: "That's right, but in fact, we don't advocate using this kind of decoy play often, because we need to temporarily switch to another different way of blowing, so many times our beaters will be affected by rhythm disruption when playing the bat, and the swing effect will not be very ideal, it is better to use the normal swing to strike properly!" “
"Is that so!?"
"Of course, but right now, Akai is a very wise choice to blow Fukishi like this! In this way, we can more clearly see what ball path the opponent will use to deal with the decoy play, so as to find the shooting and matching habits of the two of them...... Hehe~~ Interesting, it seems that we have to play very hard at the tactical level of this ball! After Anno said this, he didn't say much and turned his eyes to the court.
At this time, Akai on the court has been entangled with Tsurumi High School's pitcher Fukishi 4 balls, although the hitting effect is not too good, but it successfully dragged the number of balls of Tsurumi High School's ace pitcher, and can also get a first-hand analysis of their habit of shooting and matching, Aoba Dodai High School anyone here feels that this thing is a sure win!
