Chapter 10: The Eve of the Final
After class, the baseball field at Akagi Middle School. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Ping explained the tactics of tomorrow's game blandly.
"In tomorrow's game, Sawamura and I will change the baton times, and the rest will remain the same."
Stick change times!
Why?
The little friend looked at Yang Ping with an ignorant expression: Sawamura has a stable base rate, he goes to base at a critical moment, and Yang Ping's base sweep is the most important scoring means of Akagi Middle School. When playing against a weak team, this tactic doesn't show anything, but when you play against Fudo Peak Middle School or Toho School Park, this tactic is tried.
Tomorrow is the final, and the opponent's pitcher is still the reborn An Zexiu. At this time, it is a bit self-defeating.
Yang Ping thought about his tactics, and if he explained them in detail, it would be too much to say. In that case, it is not explained: "There is a huge chance that tomorrow will turn into a pitcher battle, and it is likely that the difference between winning and losing the game is one or two points." ”
"So you must not miss any opportunity to score on base, and you must also try your best to block the opponent's offense."
"If you win, you will make history, enter the country, and use honor to see off your alma mater. Defeat is nothing. At this time, what should we do? “
"Win~~~"
……
On the way home, Sawamura and Yang Ping walked together.
"Why?"
Yang Ping was stunned when he heard this, and asked inexplicably: "What why?" ”
"Why did you ask me to be a four-batter before? Why are you turning the rods back now? Sawamura stared at Yang Ping's eyes, not allowing him to avoid the question.
Yang Ping scratched the top of his head, he originally thought that he could leave the saliva, but he knew that he would explain it to everyone just now. Even if he was a little annoyed in his heart, Yang Ping still gave Sawamura his reasons in detail.
"Why did I let you be a four-batter? First of all, we must give you a concept, what is the meaning of sticks? ”
What is the significance of sticks?
This Sawamura never thought that he was already a little dizzy at this time.
"There is only one purpose in the ranking of sticks, which is to score more points. If you want to score more, you have to connect the bats in addition to hitting a home run. Put together players who have the potential to hit back-to-back hits. This is why the average team will put three, four, and five batters on the strongest striker. ”
"Why is three, four, five as the central base, this involves the exchange of information and round distribution in the professional game. This set is too complicated, so I won't explain it to you one by one. In our team, I gave it to Yamada because he was so showy......"
"The best hitters on the team are Shadow and me, but you are the most consistent on base. I put you between the two of me because I have the best chance of scoring, and once I can hit a home run, I can score the most points in one go. ”
"As for the so-called 'four sticks', it's purely a name. It is the people who give a special meaning to this location. In fact, there is no need at all, even if you are the ninth baseman, as long as you can hit consecutive home runs, who can underestimate you not succeed. ”
Sawamura nodded knowingly, although he still felt that Yang Ping had something to tell him. But although he couldn't accept Yang Ping's theory, he had to admit that it was very reasonable.
Yang Ping's theory is thorough, in fact, it is very simple, that is, 'no matter if he is a white cat, he is a good cat who can catch mice.' It doesn't matter if he's four sticks, nine sticks, it's good to be able to score! ’
As long as the game can be won, whether it is a defensive position or a baseman, it is just a means.
Seeing that Sawamura could understand, Yang Ping also breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't say that he proposed to make him a four-stick stick because he wanted Sawamura to work hard.
Although there is nothing to blame, it is always a bit unspeakable.
Sawamura's character is a strong sense of mission, and the greater the responsibility given to him, the harder he will work......
"Tomorrow's game, it's going to be tough."
Sawamura thought about An Zexiu's pitch and nodded helplessly. is as proud as he is, and he has to admit that the man named An Zexiu is not the same thing at all as last year.
"His ball, if I can't hit it, then don't say anything. But once I have a chance to fight, then he will have to respect me. When the time comes, it's up to you! ”
Yang Ping solemnly asked Ze Village. There are only two who have the strength to challenge Yasusawa Xiu's pitching, and there are only two who are confident in Akagi. Yang Ping and Sawamura's short stick!
"Of course."
The two went to the fork and parted ways. Yang Ping kept recalling the days with Sawamura. and tricks that can be used in the finals.
In just a year and a half, the original beginner Sawamura Eijun can have the skills of all the pitchers in Nagano Prefecture now, Yang Ping is not unimpressed. But An Zexiu's growth this year is also creepy.
The victory or defeat of the two teams will almost depend on the head-to-head confrontation between these two pitchers.
Will Sawamura be able to defend his position as 'No. 1 pitcher', or will Azawa Shu come from behind. If you don't officially fight, no one knows. However, Yang Ping has a hunch that in the final, this game will inevitably be very intense.
Yang Ping tossed and turned, unable to sleep. This is especially true of Akagi's friends.
Tomorrow is the final! Once the war is won, it will be a national fame and a success......
How did they sleep at such an exciting time.
Sawamura Eijun was asleep at home, not affected by the final at all. If it weren't for the sudden arrival of an uninvited guest, he would have planned to sleep until he woke up naturally.
Staring sleepily at the ******** Sven beauty in front of him, Sawamura asked in a daze, "Are you?" ”
"Sawamura-san."
The beauty nodded, then elegantly took out a business card and said, "I'm Rei Takashima, the deputy head of the Qingdao High School Baseball Club." ”
Qingdao!
Tokyo's Seido High School, a regular visitor to Koshien, is a real baseball giant that sends fresh blood to professional baseball every year.
Sawamura's grandfather, father, and mother looked at their children in disbelief.
In the words of Grandpa Sawamura: Although I knew that this kid Sawamura played baseball well, I never thought that someone would come here from Tokyo to ask for a special recruitment. And it's not a nobody, it's a real baseball giant.
Before the family could recover from the shock, Sawamura's words made the family cry and laugh again.
"Where is Qingdao?"
Faced with the confused Sawamura, the family completely broke out.
"Damn it, you're still playing baseball. Haven't you even heard of Qingdao? ”
"That's a real big school in a big city."
"There have been a lot of famous players!"
……
The chatter of the family, Sawamura does not understand. In line with the principle of politeness, he still asked the guest: "Then what are you looking for me for?" ”
Rei Takashima unhurriedly took out a baseball magazine with a detailed introduction to Seido. He lifted his glasses and said, "On behalf of the Qingdao High School baseball team, I officially invite you to join." ”
