On a new day, during the afternoon baseball club training time, all the players of Aoba Dodai High School were filled with joy and excitement on their faces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition to the joy and excitement, you can even see a little more nervousness on the faces of many players......

The city tournament finally broke through, and from then on they were the best high school baseball team in Yokohama City this summer.

It's an honor, but it's also a burden, and more...... It's a kind of new army that makes the current Aoba Daotai, no, it can't be said to be a new army now.

The owners of this young and brand-new high school baseball team have added motivation and pursuit to enter the Koshien competition at the national level of the Summer Liga League!

So, before the start of the afternoon training, coach Kawano gave the baseball club a special praise for this matter.

Of course, it came immediately after the praise, and needless to say, I knew that it was definitely harder and more intense than before!

And this time, the rare manager of the team, 5 Mei, wore a headband and held a paper clapper to various points on the training ground to do on-site training supervision.

Can you imagine that!?

The 5 beautiful female managers who are delicate and gentle on weekdays have suddenly become the mother Shura with a 'weapon' in hand......

Well, it's so beautiful, but I don't dare to look at it!

Anyway, the training began in the conflicting mood of the main players of the baseball club, which was both bitter and sweet.

On the other side, in the pitcher's training ground next to the training ground, Kasugamo today was strangely not like Watanabe next to him, who was sweating profusely early.

Instead, he stood by the No. 3 training area in the cowshed and listened to the training.

Obviously, this is the scene of opening a small stove, and the lineup that specially opens a small stove for Kasuga Cloud is also the top in the team.

Including coach Kawano, manager Hazuki (in charge of records), the team's ace pitcher Hayakawa, team captain Yasano, 5 batters Maki, plus a basket full of baseballs......

"Kasuga-kun, although your growth in the past six months has been obvious to all, not only has you basically mastered the control of the pitcher, but also developed a thousand phantom balls, this kind of pitcher talent that is unique in ten thousand! It can be said that if you continue to grow up in the future, it is absolutely possible to become a good baseball pitcher!

However, at the moment, your strength is far from enough!

The summer league has finished playing the municipal competition, and I believe you must have realized that the threat of your thousand fantasy balls to the beaters has begun to be less threatening than when you first faced the southern suburbs of the district competition.

Although it is still very uncomfortable for the hitter, from the current point of view, your thousand fantasy ball path is being explored by our opponent step by step, so in order to go to the next level in the county competition of the Summer Liga League in the future, with the consent of Coach Kawano, we decided to conduct special training for you today, a special training for you to develop new abilities! ”

Team captain Yasuno said a little long in the opening remarks of the scene, I don't know if it's the style he has developed after being a team for a long time, anyway, Kasugamo feels that what he said is a bit wordy.

But at this time, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and listened attentively to the training.

"That's right! ~" Coach Kawano spoke at this time: "Although the Thousand Illusions Ball Road is the most difficult way to play in the pitcher's talent, it is not completely impossible to crack, but the opponents we have encountered so far do not have this ability!" But...... In the face of the strong teams in the future county-level competition, there are even many strong teams that are also famous in the national high school baseball world, and I believe that their players will definitely have a way to crack the thousand magic balls you are now!

So in order to make our garrison more complete, Kasuga-kun, today we will teach you to practice throwing and sliding, and equip you with a developed sliding ball path! ”

"Sliders!? Specially developed for me!? Kasugayun was stunned after hearing this.

At this time, coach Kawano stood up and walked to the pitcher's area, and ordered Anno and Maki: "Anno, you go to be the catcher, and Maki, you go to be the beater." ”

"Hay! ~”

The two responded in unison, and soon finished their seats.

Then coach Kawano picked up a ball from the basket, grabbed his fingers and put it in front of Kasugayun and said, "Hela, Hasuga, come here, look!" What kind of ball path finger is this! ”

"Speedball!" Kasugamo replied after reading it.

"That's right! This is the finger shape of a fastball, so what if I catch it like this!? What do you think happens to the ball when I throw it!? ”

"Huh!?"

I saw that the baseball that coach Kawano would grasp in his hand had some obvious changes in the finger shape of the grip that was originally a speedball.

Originally, the index finger and middle finger were grasped in the middle of the baseball, but they were both sideways.

At this time, coach Kawano moved the fingers of his right hand holding the ball, twisted the baseball in his hand a little bit, and asked, "Look, what if I catch it like this!?" What kind of ball is it!? ”

At this time, coach Kawano's right index finger and middle finger are grasped along the side of Kasuga's gaze, which in Kasuga's opinion, if the ball is thrown, it will definitely produce a spin on the side of the ball, so that the ball will have a change in turn, so he immediately replied with certainty: "It's a slippery ball!" ”

"Smack!"

"Ah...... Pain! ~”

"Giggle...... Kasuga-kun, it's none of my business, explain in advance that this is what Coach Kawano meant, and let me reward you with a cardboard as soon as I see you make a mistake! Giggle~~"

Well, needless to say, I know that Kasugayun has already suffered a hard blow from the paper clapper in the hand of the beautiful manager Ye Yue.

“~~~”

But everyone Ye Yue said that this was what the coach meant, and Kasuga Yun dared to say more, so he had to set his eyes on coach Kawano again.

"Oh, look at it, stupid!" Coach Kawano instructed with a gloomy and serious face at this time: "Remember, this is the grip of the cutting ball, a kind of ball path between a fastball and a slider, and it is also the throwing method that you should prioritize training and be familiar with in the future!"

Only by mastering the slice ball can you throw the perfect slide!

Listen, the cut ball, which belongs to the fastball ball, is held in a slightly different way than the two-seam speedball, that is, the point where the index finger and middle finger are grasped, here!

However, its throwing method is basically the same as the throwing method of the speedball, but the force from the wrist to the fingers on the baseball is different when the ball is released, and the speedball is required to form an afterburner and spin in the same direction of the baseball from beginning to end, so as to maximize the speed and power of the ball after the baseball is shot.

The cut ball is different, because the index and middle fingers are held to one side, so the afterburner and spin of the hand on the baseball after the ball is released reach two side points. Because of this, the path of the ball will go straight like a speedball at first, but when it reaches the base area, there will suddenly be a change in spin force and turn to the outside corner to take out the good ball belt, you see! ”

Speaking of which, coach Kawano began to pedal to prepare for the pitch: "First of all, the straight ball path of the speedball!" ”

"Whew! ~”

"Bump! ~”

"That's amazing! ~"From the beginning to the end, Kasugamo found that the speedball thrown by coach Kawano was far greater than his own speed and power.

Even him, even Hayakawa and Makiki around him were dumbfounded, not to mention the beautiful manager Hazuki, who was already completely fascinated, this girl was already full of stars at this time!

"Really, really, really, amazing, this ball!"

"Huh! ~~ It's okay, I haven't moved for a long time, and my body is finally okay! Coach Kawano pretended to be pressing, but everyone enjoyed it.

"Alright, then it's time for the cut! You're in for a good time! ”

"Hay!" Kasugayun immediately cheered up and watched.

I saw that at this time, coach Kawano threw the ball hard with the same fixed pitching posture: "Whew! ~”

The speed of the ball was very fast, although it was a little worse than the speedball just now, but the baseball flew 5 or 6 meters away immediately after the ball was released.

However, for baseball players such as Kasuga, Hayakawa and Maki, who have high eyesight, they can still clearly see that the ball flew in a straight line towards the middle of the ball with the good ball as soon as it was shot.

Soon, the ball suddenly changed its turn before reaching base, and it went from a straight flight to a little lower in the outside corner.

"Pong! ~”

In the end, the gloves in the hands of Yasano, who was catching the ball as a catcher, caught the ball about one ball in the middle of the outer corner of the good ball belt.

"Bang bang bang! ~~”

Hayakawa, Kasugayun and others have nothing to say, such an obvious teaching to the change in details, so excellent that they are not high school students at all, no...... Even college students have difficulty controlling the ball, so that several of them can only clapped hard at the moment to send coach Kawano to come.

"See!?" Coach Kawano asked Kasuga.

"Hay, I see it."

"Yes! ~" Coach Kawano nodded, then turned around and continued to pose a ball path finger shape for Kasuga Cloud to see: "Hela, the next one is the finger shape of the slider!"

Unlike the cut ball, the slider requires the grip of the baseball body to be at a 90-degree right angle to the stitches, and when the shot is not thrown from the top of the head, it is thrown from the height of your own earline. ”

After Coach Kawano finished speaking, he turned around again and threw the ball with his arm.

"Whew! ~”

"Pong! ~”

This time, the path of the ball changed again.

Although the ball still flew straight at first, halfway through the game the baseball turned in an arc in the air and crashed towards the low corner of the outside corner.

Kasugamo finally saw the position of the glove where Anno received the ball, which happened to be the sharp corner of the corner with the low outer corner: "Perfect!" ~”

At this time, the coach Kawano, who had finished the demonstration, turned to Kasuga and said, "Kasuga, the two ball paths demonstrated above are the new weapons that you will prioritize in mastering and learning in the future!" Learn to cut the ball transition first, then master the slide ball thoroughly......

After you have fully mastered these two balls, you can use the same kind of action as when you cast the Thousand Fantasy Balls, and completely integrate the two new ways of cutting and sliding into your Thousand Fantasy Ball Paths, and form your own killer feature, understand!? ”

"Hai, I understand, thank you coach for your attentive guidance, I will definitely redouble my efforts to learn and master them as quickly as possible!" After hearing this, Kasugamo immediately bent down and bowed to thank coach Kawano.

"Yes! ~" Kawano said to Hayakawa and Makiki beside him: "Then this kid's training will be handed over to you!" ”

"Hay! ~”

"Wrap it up on us, Coach, we'll definitely let Kasuga-kun learn both the slide and the cut ball as quickly as possible!"

Coach Kawano smiled indifferently at this, and then turned and walked out of the cowshed.

"Coach go slowly! ~" Everyone bowed in unison.

Then there was a roar in the cowshed that made the people outside feel a little furious when they heard it: "Hela, spring, what are you still rubbing, don't you hurry up and pitch!" ~”

"Bang Da~"

"Ahh

"That's not right! ~ What kind of hell ball are you throwing, it's all running to the Pacific Ocean! ”

"Bang Da~"

"Ahh

"I'll go, are you pitching or pitching, bastard boy! ~Looking for a fight!? ”

"Bang Da~"

"Ahh

"Go on, keep me going!"

"Bang Da~"

"Ahh

“……”

Well, Kasuga's hellish training before the start of the prefectural competition has begun! (To be continued.) )
