306. Opening Tactics to Promote Strengths and Avoid Weaknesses (Asking for Votes!! ~)
After the start of the game, Hayakawa faced up to the Gakukan 1 batter, a talented player with super fast running ability, and his first goal turned out to be an outside corner kick with an unfast ball speed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the eyes of many outsiders who saw Hayakawa do this, this kind of ball path is undoubtedly the rhythm of looking for play!
However, is it really as they thought, that Hayakawa's conceited ball was thrown by the opponent's hitter and flew out!?
Or is Hayakawa himself very confident and convinced of his pitching ability, and this shot to the academy will definitely not be able to hit Hasami!?
The final answer is the latter!
Rush Shui, the 1st batter of the Zhixue Pavilion, was originally very confident that he could hit a heavy cannon with a stick, but in the end, he waved it in the air under the surprised eyes of everyone in the audience.
"Ahh After Hayami swung his bat in the strike zone, he snorted in confusion: "I actually lost!?" ~~ How could it be a thing! ”
In fact, this will not only be confused after the game is played by Hayami, but even the players of the Zhixue Hall who watched Hasami hit off the field also have a deep confusion about this ball: What the hell is going on!?
And Watanabe and the others in the rest area of Aoba Daotai High School, who knew what was going on, sneered at the other side without a trace: Hehe...... You can guess what's going on, that's the ghost! With just one pitch......
After a ball, Hayakawa of Aoba Dodai High School earned a good shot, which made the talented hitter Hasamizu on the side of the Zhixue Hall feel as if he was being looked down upon, and all the anger in his stomach came out in an instant.
However, although Hayami's heart was full of fire, after all, he was not stunned when he first joined the main lineup, so the annoyance on Hayami's face was quickly cleaned up by him, and his 100% sharp eyes exuded bursts of chill from time to time, staring at Hayakawa on the pitcher's mound.
It's time to get the rhythm moving!
In this regard, Anno and Hayakawa naturally saw these things clearly.
It's just one thing to see it, and it's another thing to put Hayami in your eyes!
Anno used sign language to communicate with Hayakawa when configuring the second ball path: Hayakawa, leave this kid alone, continue to shoot at our pace! The second goal, the inside curveball, suppressing the ball path, the waist ribs are up, come on!
Pitcher Hayakawa immediately nodded in agreement after reading the ball code, and then began to kick the board and stretched out his left foot, twisted his body and threw the ball out with his arms.
"Whew! ~”
I saw that the second ball Hayakawa's point of departure was placed high, and the last point of the baseball in his hand was pressed from the right side of the middle finger as the main pressure point, and the baseball was pressed to rotate from right to left, at an angle of about 30 degrees.
This is a typical incurve ball!
At the beginning, the baseball was shot at a relatively high point, so the first impression of this pitch in the strike zone should be that of a falling knuckle.
And because of the speed of the baseball shot, the speed of the ball that will flash if you don't pay attention to it also makes the quick water in the strike zone have little time to react and judge, and directly swing the bat with his first instinct to react and judge.
However, Hayami underestimated the pressure inflicted on Hayakawa's second ball by his blow.
Less than halfway through his play, Hayami saw the baseball draw a sharp spike-like arc from the air, chasing him from far to near.
Suddenly, he forced the water to jump to his feet, and couldn't help but burst out a foul language: "I'm bang!" ~ Bastard, it's chasing the inner curveball! ~~”
Fortunately, Hayami's reaction speed was not slow, and the baseball had just changed in the air, and he immediately noticed that he quickly stopped swinging the baton and stopped the attack, allowing the flying baseball to brush a little bit in front of the fists of his hands that he had withdrawn from his chest, bringing up a strong wind that made Hayami feel the hairs on his hands stand up, and just like that, it passed through the home plate and crashed into the gloves of the catcher Anno behind.
"2 good balls!"
"Whoop! ~~ Bastard, what a damn ball path! ~" After being taken aback, Hayami couldn't help but complain and scold.
But after scolding, the solemn look on Rushui's face will be even more like ice water, and the expression on his whole face is simply extremely cold.
At this time, in the sideline rest area, Kengo Ishihara, the coach of the Zhixue Hall, gave Hayami a hint of commanding to strike, and he really couldn't see it: Hela, Hayami, put the bright spots in his eyes, and hit it with a short hit in the back position!
I have to say that the coach's instructions were really just right, when Hayami was overwhelmed by Hayakawa's two balls, and was about to burst into flames, a reminder in an instant was like a bucket of ice water that was so cold that it fell out of his teeth and splashed on Haysui's face, which made him immediately wake up and think that the coach wanted him to attack by using his strengths and avoiding weaknesses!
So in the third ball, Hasamizu hurriedly followed the prompts of coach Ishihara and moved his position in the striking zone to the very back side, and the right hand holding the bat in his hand was slightly loosened, but he did not immediately hold a short strike position.
Because everything is left in one hand, whether it is from other things, or used in the current pitching duel on the baseball field, it is a preventive mechanism to leave a way back for yourself!
As an old fritter, Hayami naturally knows this simple and easy to understand truth, and integrates it into his baseball skills.
On the other side, Aoba Dodai High School's catcher Yasuno noticed Hasamizu in the strike zone from behind, and the striking strategy he used in the face of the third shot thrown by his friend Hayakawa changed significantly.
After taking a deep look at Hayami's on-the-go moves, Yasuno played the third ball to Hayakawa on the pitcher's mound.
Hayakawa then realized something, silently pedaled to the outside corner of the good ball belt, and threw the ball fiercely.
"Whew~"
As soon as the baseball flew out, Hayami in the strike zone immediately had a prediction, and he chose not to play, because he saw that the angle of the baseball was too much, and it was a bad ball route that was obviously deflected to the outside corner, so his first reaction was to think that this ball should be a decoy pitch made by Hayakawa to trick him into hitting.
But when the baseball suddenly drew an acute arc in the middle of the air like the previous ball, Hayami was completely stunned and didn't react: I clicked......
"Pong! ~”
It wasn't until the baseball got into the catcher Anno's glove, and when the referee pulled the bow from behind him and ruled him out, that Hayamizu suddenly came to his senses: "Damn it was an inner curve again!" Deceived ......"
It's a pity that Hayami woke up too late, and he had to walk back to the rest area with his neck bent and wait to be scolded by coach Ishihara.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
"What a beautiful cast! ~”
"Sure enough, it's a trump card worthy of our trust, Hayakawa-kun, your pitching is not lost to that boy of Kasuga at all! Come on~"
"Yes, yes, come on, Hayakawa-kun, one more time, one more time!"
"1 out, 1 out, come again!"
On the other hand, he took the lead in winning a number of outs at the beginning, which made the morale of Aoba Dotai High School obviously increase a lot, and the guards in all positions on the field would all laugh and shout words of encouragement to pitcher Hayakawa.
After some support, the second batter of the school hall finally took over and continued the attack.
I saw that this Zhixue Hall 2 batter named Takara Hiroya stood on the back edge of the strike zone as soon as he came up this time, and the position of holding the baton in his hand was also a little short.
Obviously, this is to continue the striking tactics that the previous batter Hasamizu failed to complete, so as to launch the second attack of the first inning.
In this regard, Yasuno and Hayakawa on the side of Aoba Dodai High School did not feel any more pressure than when they faced Hayami before, because they both knew very well in their hearts that the 2 batters in the Zhigakukan were not on the line, and they were the most worthy of being afraid of the strong beating.
The reason for this is because in the pre-game intelligence investigation, the person in charge of the logistics team who investigated the opponent's intelligence reported the situation, this 2 batter named Takara Hiroya, has no special talent as a hitter, that is to say, he is just an ordinary level fighter with a certain comprehensive strike ability!
So in the face of him, Hayakawa, the pitcher of Aoba Dodai High School, was relatively relaxed.
But it was really enough to solve Takara's blow, and in the end, Hayakawa still had to pay 5 shots before he could accept the result of being eliminated from the game, and he went out of the game.
At this time, after eliminating the opponent's two hitters one after another, Hayakawa finally ushered in the opponent Zhigakukan in this conference, and the three strong hitters on the center of the team who had caused headaches for the pitchers of all the players in the previous game, they came on the court one by one to fight the challenge of their own pitching!
It was supposed to be a time of pressure for Hayakawa or even any pitcher at the conference.
However, at this meeting, on the pitcher's mound, Hayakawa was inexplicably relieved: "Whew...... Is it coming!? ”
"Huh!?"
The three strong bats of the Zhigakukan, who had just come on the field to strike, their domineering captain and ace pitcher, Kurotani, snorted a little inexplicably after seeing the strange performance of the pitcher Hayakawa Okami.
But then Kurotani didn't think about the other ones as soon as he walked into the strike zone, so he quickly set up a posture to be played and waited for Hayakawa to throw the first ball for him: "Come on, Hayakawa Mitsuru, the former ace pitcher of Aoba Dodai High School, let me see how much ability you have!" ”
"Humph! ~”
However, in response to the provocative glance cast by Kuroya in the strike zone, pitcher Hayakawa Okami directly and selectively ignored it.
Then the first throw is made......
"Whew! ~”
"Bad ball! ~”
The second ball was thrown, in the direction of the inside corner, but it was chased too far and almost missed the black valley, and it was another bad ball throw.
Well, that's a mistake!
Then on the third ball, Hayakawa threw the ball to the point where the outside corner was low and the good ball was brought to the outside two ball positions, and Kurotani, who was lured to the Zhixue Hall, had an obvious swing of the bat, and successfully earned back a good shot.
But the good times didn't last long, and for some reason in the next two balls, Hayakawa accidentally threw all the balls out of the good ball belt, and finally sent Kuroya to his first base with 4 bad balls.
This can make some unknown fans tremble, and they are yelling in the stands to cheer for Hayakawa, hoping that he can quickly find his form and give Hinata Hinata, the 4 batter of the Zhixue Hall, out of the game.
But what people never expected was that Hayakawa actually missed the first ball, and directly sent Hinata, the 4th batter of the Zhigakukan, to first base, and at the same time, Kuroya, who was originally standing on first base, was sent to second base.
The situation went from bad to worse in an instant......
At this time, many fans of the scene began to worry about whether Hayakawa was facing too much pressure from the opponent's strong beater and collapsed!
Because, the next 5 bats of the school hall beat Amano, and they were also sent to 1st base by Hayakawa 4 bad balls.
At this point, in the first half of the first inning, Aoba Dotai suddenly seemed to fall into the rhythm of the collapse, and there was an extremely dangerous loss of points on the field with 1 out and full of bases.
The situation on the scene was not optimistic, and it instantly made the fans who supported Aoba Dodai High School on the scene couldn't help but twitch several times in their hearts to pinch out a cold sweat for the team and pitcher Hayakawa: "I smack...... 1 out, full of people, this is the rhythm of collapse! ~~ Damn, what the hell is this No. 3 kid from Aoba Dodai High School trying to do!! ~Look for death! ~”
And at this moment, after finally completing the tactic of deliberately sending all the opponent's three main players to the base bag, Hayakawa, who lowered his head on the pitcher's mound and weighed the powder bag, pretended to be under pressure, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart: Hehe...... Looking for death!? No, you're wrong! I'm trying to play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses! ~~
