42. The bond between casting and catching

Faced with the second question from his senior Hayakawa, Kasugamo was immediately confused, and he thought for a while before answering uncertainly: "That's because their 2nd and 3rd batters are strong hitters!" ”

As a result, Kasuga's answer was exchanged for Watanabe, a friend who was serving as a punisher in a resting state, and gave him a paper fan attack on the back of the head!

"Smack! ~Ah Huo (stupid), what the hell is this answer! Watanabe hated iron and said, "I've told you this question a long time ago, haven't you forgotten!?" ”

"Oh~" Kasuga, who was attacked and ate pain, immediately reached out and rubbed the back of his head, but he didn't care about this, but complained to his friend Watanabe a little angrily: "It hurts, yes, stupid Hisachi!" ”

"It's good that you just want to hurt, Ah Huo Yun!" Watanabe ignored his friend's complaints, waving the paper fan in his hand and threatening: "You better recall what I told you about this meeting before, the answer has been told to you before!" ”

"I'll go~~" Kasugamo was speechless, he thought about the scene when he was training with Watanabe before, but he still didn't think of anything, and finally had to announce the failure of the answer and said: "Okay, senior, I think you can still help me solve this question!" ”

Hayakawa Mitsuru seemed to have expected that Kasugayun would not be able to answer, and explained with a smile at this time: "Actually, this is not a problem at all, you see...... The 1 batter was solved by Watanabe-kun with a ball, and although the 2 batters and 3 batters used one or two more balls, in the end their way out was after hitting the ball, they were caught and killed, which means that first of all, Watanabe-kun's number of balls did not exceed the expected number of 9 good balls, and the second point is that Watanabe-kun's style in the first game of the pitch is to let the batter play the batter to defend the way to carry out our defense! You won't be unclear about the way the hitter plays the batter, right!? ~Kasuga-kun..."

"Hey, hey~~" was choked by the senior's last sentence, and Chun Riyun had to smile awkwardly, and he didn't dare to say anything else, and remembered about the stick. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Playing a baton is a common guarding tactic often used by the defending side in baseball games.

Usually the beginning of the defense begins with the pitcher and catcher understanding of the opponent's line as a whole to a certain extent, and then according to each encounter on the batter, respectively, with different changes in the ball path to let the batter hit the bat, because the blow strength and angle are not enough, so that the baseball can only form a non-threatening weak rolling ball or high flying ball, and finally be picked up by the defender out of a way of defense.

But there is a prerequisite here, that is, this kind of guarding tactics has reached a very demanding level for the tacit understanding of the partners between the shooting and catching, and for the pitcher's control of the ball when he shoots the ball, which is not something that anyone can do casually.

Because in the case of pitchers, not everyone can have the heart to see the ball they throw flying out by the beater, and there is no pressure at all.

Unless the pitcher is very confident in his ability to control the ball, he absolutely believes that the player he throws will definitely hit the ball to the desired place as he thinks, and then quickly call his teammates to come forward and defend it successfully.

Finally, this way of playing the baton and defending is a great test of the pitcher's pitching ability, but it is the easiest and easiest tactic to solve the opponent's attack half of the game when defending. Sometimes if you defend well, maybe a pitcher in a half inning can knock out an opponent with just three balls!

It can be said that there is really no more simple and relaxed garrison tactic than this kind of garrison tactic, but it is full of technical content......

Kasuga-un, who had revisited the tactical theory, asked a question, "I see, but I said Watanabe, why did you use this tactic as soon as you came up today!?" You're not the one who relies on your teammates to solve battles on weekdays! ”

"Hehe~~" Hayakawa immediately laughed when he heard it.

And Watanabe rewarded the paper stacking fan again to attack Kasuga, and then explained: "Ah Huo (stupid)~~ You think I'm you, the whole white-eyed stupid, can you only do it with pitching!? Don't you think it's better to be able to solve a battle with 3 balls than to solve a battle with 9 balls!? ”

"Huh!? ~" Kasugayun was stunned again: "Okay, that's too!" "

After talking about tactics, the senior Hayakawa began to test the ball path of the pitching to Kasuga. And it's not just a general theoretical question, it's a live question that is actually relevant to the game in a timely manner.

At this time, Hayakawa Mitsuru threw a ball from the opponent's southern suburbs high school, and immediately asked Kasuga Yun Dao next to him: "Very good, Xian is here, the question is here, Kasuga-kun, what kind of ball did you just see the pitcher in the southern suburbs throwing, what is his purpose, please answer!?" “

"I'll ......" I didn't expect the next test to be more difficult than Kasuga, and after complaining about the test arranged by the coach, he immediately tried to recall the situation of the pitcher in the southern suburbs just now.

After thinking for a while, Kasugamo replied with some uncertainty: "It's a speedball, because the ball speed is very fast, and Ohara-kun's blow is obviously delayed, it seems that the ball is not easy to catch!" “

"Smack! ~"Without saying a word, the back of Haru's head once again ushered in the attack of the paper folding fan.

"Ah Huo (stupid)~~" is still the reprimand of Watanabe, who lost his friend, he said: "It's a slideball, okay, you have seen that the ball is not easy to catch, and the angle is tricky, why don't you think about the change ball that is very close to the straight line of the speedball!" “

"Ah~~ It hurts!" Kasugayun has completely defeated the guy holding the paper folding fan next to him, this bastard will think that it is the paper folding fan executioner if others don't know, and the beating is really ruthless and painful: "Eight grid Jiuzhi, can't you light it!?" “

"It's not love! ~~~" Watanabe said in a ghostly manner.

"I'll go! ~“

"Come again! ~“

At this moment, just as the pitcher from Nanjiao High School on the court began to throw the next ball, senior Hayakawa asked again: "Okay, it's still the same question just now, what kind of ball is this pitcher throwing, what is the purpose, and then why can't he hit this ball Endo-kun!?" “

Kasugamo replied, "It's a curveball, and I don't know if I can't hit it!" “

Hearing this half-and-half answer, Hayakawa and Watanabe finally felt that Kasugamo was not stupid enough to be idiots, and they could see the ball species. The only pity is that his experience at this time is not enough to allow him to analyze the pitcher's purpose and changes in the direction of each ball on the spot.

So, Hayakawa Mitsuru explained to Kasuga-yun: "Kasuga-kun, I know that you are a novice, and your theoretical knowledge and practical experience are very shallow, so ...... All you have to do is name the ball and I'll explain it to you! In this way, you can quickly understand how the bond between casting and fishing is formed! “

"The bond between the casting and the catch!? ~“

"That's right! ~" Watanabe interjected: "Or to put it another way, it is the tacit cooperation between the pitcher and the catcher in the state of the game, showing the tacit cooperation in the matching ball!" “

At this time, Kasugamo was attracted by this first time I heard the term, so I asked curiously, "What's going on with this!?" ”

Senior Hayakawa said seriously: "Kasuga-kun, in fact, why do you think the coach arranged for you to enter the list of relay pitchers today, and said that you should pass this test before you can play!" …… Naturally, there is a reason for that, and the most important point of this reason is what Watanabe-kun just said - the bond between casting and fishing!

For this, you can think of it as the tacit cooperation between the pitcher and the catcher in the game state, and it can also be seen as the whole process of the judgment, decision, action and final acceptance of the final acceptance result between the two players on the opponent's line for each hitter on the other side's line.

For example, at the moment, our third baseman on the court, Yuan Tengjun, is good at hitting the outside corner in the opposite direction in the right strike area, so the pitcher of Southern Suburbs High School has made three consecutive throws all of them from the outside corner that is farthest away from him on the left side, forcing him to not play. And in terms of ball matching, I just looked at the pitcher Hyuga in the southern suburbs who used speedballs, speed balls and curveballs, all of which were based on large-scale transfers......

If this kind of tactical play is done by the pitcher alone, it is impossible to accomplish the kind of scene at hand.

So that is to say, in the face of our central long lineup, the instant code used for the negotiation between the opposing pitcher and catcher, one makes a flavor assessment of the next ball and uses the code sign language to make it clear to the teammates, and then the other acts as the action team to implement the negotiated code ball path and finally get the defense success!

This is the bond between casting and catching......

And for this, it is also the skill that Kasuga-kun is most lacking as a pitcher right now, do you understand!? “

Hearing this, Kasugayun seemed to understand and asked, "That's ...... I'm here to watch every pitcher on the court throw the ball, can I improve this kind of shooting bond!? “

"Smack! ~" Watanabe snapped his fingers and said, "That's right! …… In order to learn and master the connection between shots and catches, you first have to understand and try to discover the pitcher's intentions every time he throws, why he uses a speedball, a slider or a change ball, which direction and where he throws the ball, and how we apply the real-time state of each batter we collect to quickly and accurately avoid danger...... All of these must be obtained little by little from the competition or weekday practice match, and rely on hard work to win the discovery and the final learning to become a teacher! “

"So, Sao Nian, come on! ~" Hayakawa Mitsuru finally took a sentence to encourage his junior to arrive.
