Chapter 33: Pitcher Yang Ping (Second Shift)
The coach of Tomioka Middle School is Yamamoto. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoUnlike Sano, the acting teacher of the Akagi Junior High School baseball team, Yamamoto is a true baseball professional.
After replaying the games of the Akagi Middle School baseball team several times, Yamamoto reluctantly found that it was difficult to find the flaws of the Akagi Middle School baseball team just by relying on the video. In particular, the quirk ball of the pitcher of the Akagi High School baseball team is difficult to see from the video.
"The pitcher of the Akagi High School baseball team, how high is the deviation value of the quirk ball? We don't know anything. Detailed information has to be obtained by the competition. If he doesn't have a high deviation and we can get points quickly, then we can crush them in one go. If he has a high deviation value, it is not easy to hit a hit. Then use the strategy of entanglement to drain his balls. There are very few players on the Akagi High School baseball team, and there is only one excellent ace pitcher. Once the pitcher's condition is unstable, his physical strength declines. The strength of the Akagi Middle School baseball team is bound to be greatly reduced. ”
"Yes!"
Although Coach Yamamoto's instructions are somewhat conservative, they are the most difficult strategy to be reversed by strong against weak. Sometimes being conservative means being insured.
On the day of the game, Fuqiu Middle School attacked first.
The baseball stadium with 20,000 people was packed. That scene was really noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers, and crowds......
As the first match of the high-profile defending champions, the opponent is Akagi Junior High School, which has been popular recently, and it is natural that this match will be in the spotlight.
Many friends who Yang Ping didn't know in Tokyo also came to the scene.
"Senior Xiangjing, you slow down."
The short boy carried a huge duffel bag and struggled to chase after Mukai Sun in front of him.
When the two arrived at the venue, they easily found a seat in the corner.
"Senior, who do you say will win these two teams?"
"Who do you think will win?"
The boy thought for a while: "It's still Fuqiu, they are the runners-up of the World Junior Championships!"
"I know and ask!"
Despite being good friends with Yang Ping, Mukai Sun didn't think Akagi would have a chance of winning. After all, baseball is not something that can be played by one person, if Yang Ping still stays in Didong High School, Xiangjing Sun is confident that he will join forces with him to defeat Fuqiu Middle School.
In addition to the audience, the match was also broadcast live on television. At this moment, this game between middle school students attracted tens of millions of baseball lovers.
The old principal, who was lying in the hospital recuperating, was already crying silently at this time. I never expected these children to give him such a big surprise!
"I'm going to bring the team to the national competition, and you're just waiting to see the day when Akagi High School becomes famous all over the country."
What did the boy named Sawamura think when he stood in front of him and said this? The old headmaster doesn't remember anymore. Now, they have really made it this far, and the old headmaster can only have mixed feelings. Even if Akagi is merged tomorrow, he will have no regrets in his heart.
The scene of the competition.
Yang Ping, who has been serving as Sawamura's catcher, stood on the pitcher's mound with an indifferent face at this time. And squatting in the catcher position is Gao Gongwang.
Sawamura, the No. 1 ace pitcher, stayed with Sano Sensei and Wakana Kuratsuki in the cowshed to make cameo cheerleaders.
What's going on?
The players and coaches of the Fuqiu Middle School baseball team looked at each other one by one. They had speculated about various possibilities before, but they never thought that ace pitcher Sawamura would not play.
Could it be that Akagi has already given up the game? Or in the last game, their pitcher was injured unexpectedly.
Looking at the cowshed, Sawamura, who is alive and cheering for his teammates, doesn't feel like it.
Is it a trick, or is there a conspiracy for a long time? This is not only unsure of the people of Fuqiu Middle School, but also the audience at the scene is also hesitant.
"Wasn't the previous pitcher the boy whoaw wowing in the cowshed? How do you change people now? ”
"Did you get injured in the last game?"
"This one was really unexpected."
……
However, no matter how the people from Fuqiu Middle School and the audience at the scene guessed, the time for the game to start was not waiting for anyone.
"Beater, Fuqiu Middle School, a stick."
Gao Gongwang pretended to look at the beater of Fuqiu Middle School carefully, and then pretended to make a few gestures with Yang Ping. Yang Ping, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, nodded as if he understood, and then a sharp inside corner kick was thrown.
The sharp inside corner high ball that went straight to the thrasher's chest made the hitter can't help but retreat slightly.
"Good shot!"
The referee's words, the batter of Fuqiu Middle School could no longer hear clearly, he was still immersed in the dangerous inside corner high ball just now, and he felt that if he didn't dodge just now, the ball would definitely hit his chest. What happens when you get hit by a 135km high-speed straight ball? It's a chilling question just to think about.
Then before he could come back to his senses, Yang Ping's second ball had already been thrown.
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
"No swing, strikeout!"
This unfolding is quite unexpected. The coaches and players of Fuqiu Middle School looked at the batters who were knocked out by Yang Ping with three strikes one by one.
The batter shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless look: "Like the captain, he is a pitcher who is very terrible with the ball. The balls were all in the corners, and half of the easy ball did not appear. ”
The beater's words made the coaches and players of Fuqiu Middle School a little helpless. Among the various scenarios that I have considered before, it is not included that Akagi will change pitchers. And it's such a pitcher who can be an ace in other teams.
"Second stick, number two, catcher, smoked by the well."
Yui is not tall and thin. But if you look down on him because of this, then you will definitely suffer. Like Yuhiko Hashimoto, he has always been the main catcher of the national team of all ages. The ability to read the game, the skill of baseball, the ability to execute tactics, the skill of matching the ball, the skills that all catchers should know, he is outstanding. Such a person, naturally, will not allow his striking ability to lag behind. In fact, although he rarely hits home runs, his hit success rate is second only to Ichiro Mizusawa in the team.
Gao Gongwang once again pretended to look at Yui Fumi, who was standing in the strike zone. Randomly typed two codes at Yang Ping, Yang Ping nodded as if he understood.
First Goal: Low Ball from the Outside Corner!
A 135km high-speed straight ball that slices like lightning across the edge of the outer corner.
Yui Fumi, who was observing the ball path, had an inexplicably difficult look on his face.
"Good shot!"
The division of the good ball area has a lot to do with the height of the hitter. In terms of height, it is above the knee and below the chest of the beater. But the width is different, and the width of the good ball area is the same for all hitters.
Hitters with short arms will also struggle when playing outside corners......
Yui Xun belongs to the players who are not tall and have insufficient arm span.
