So the next day, all the players were surprised to find that the coaches asked themselves to come back, and some of the original substitutes returned to the main lineup, and some of the main lineups pulled back to the bench!

Big change......

Cleanly beat the second team, Brazil, 9-0!

Lu Wenlong stood majestically in the two positions of pitcher and batter, even the opponent's four bad ball escorts, there was no way to take him, because he was stuck on the third stick that did not go forward or behind, the two people in front of him always had to mix one person on base, plus Lu Wenlong was escorted, Zhang Jiuge of the fourth batter finally came back to attack, in the face of a first-class pitcher may not be able to do it, in the face of the pitcher of the average team, he can't hit a home run, the probability of hitting is still relatively large, and it can always make Lu Wenlong score a point or two with another player, Occasionally, the pockmarked fifth stick behind him comes out to do something, and it seems that they are all back on track.

Then Australia was seen clearly by the Japanese team and played a trick......

Against France, it was still very simple, easy to beat, and the score was still very high, 14 to 0.

At this time, the Australian team was completely seen by the opponents of the temperament of the paper tiger, and the Brazilian team beat them five to two!

Because the French team lost all, theoretically speaking, the Chinese team will qualify for the top two against the Japanese team at this time, as long as they don't lose too much.

All the Japanese and South Korean media or professionals who pay attention to these selection and promotion tournaments are curious about one thing, the No. 8 of the Chinese national team, who once shined in the Asian Games, why did he have to play a thankless outfielder in the first game of the first game? The key is to try it once after a quick taste, and then stop using it after taking a stick.

And then it just led to the defeat of the first game......

Some people who are attentive and professional have noticed that the plastic surgery of this national team in the first game is completely different from the back, not because the people are different, but those people are completely different in some positions, which is almost incredible.

A national level of professional players. Most of them start from the beginning, and what position to practice at the beginning may be played for the rest of your life until you retire. Only a few minor adjustments will be made to the needs of the whole. Where is there such a change of position?

It's weird!

However, it is clear that the position after that is correct, and it also brought two wins to the Chinese team.

So when the Japanese team and the Chinese team faced each other in the last round of the group stage, I saw that the Chinese team put on that strange team configuration again, but the No. 8 was still a pitcher. Don't play that outfielder for some reason.

This is why Zhao Lianjun thought twice and decided to be in this game that should not be very related to qualifying. Try the mysterious lineup against the strong team again, just put Lu Wenlong in the pitcher is a safety rope, and he guards the pitching. No more losses will not be a big score. It's better than not being able to do anything well in the field.

It seems that this kind of safety rope practice has also given the players a great booster, seeing Lu Wenlong standing on the pitcher board, it seems that the feeling of being a little flustered last time has disappeared at once, and everyone is trying to regain their new position. These days, the coaches took everyone into several groups. After watching the matches between Japan and South Korea, Dominica, and Puerto Rico, I really felt what a high-level player is, which is a hard lesson.

Zhao Lianjun was very serious about the behavior of making up the class this time, and asked almost every team member to see how their new and old positions were played, and what did others do in these positions, and they held meetings and discussions at night, a bit of the feeling of an internal war meeting in the army, Lu Wenlong couldn't help but quietly asked Zhao Lianjun once: "Are you transferred from the army?" ”…,

Zhao Lianjun was also surprised: "What? I was transferred from the Bayi Labor Brigade, how do you know Lu Dao? ”

Lu Wenlong pointed to the team members who were in a small circle in full swing, full of troop style.

Tang Canqing is responsible for taking a video camera these days, recording both his own team and foreign ones, which can be regarded as first-hand information, but he has seen a lot of accosting people when he encounters them, which annoys people to death.

There are more athletes than spectators who cross each other, because Australia is not a country where traditional baseball is popular, this qualifying tournament is placed here, it is a bit of a domestic game, the stands are full of lazy sunbathing, the whole family comes out to go out together, anyone who dresses a little more formal must be the athletes or coaches of each team, and then there are several baseball developed country media, the proportion is very high.

Zhang Liuming also came, bringing a photojournalist and a videographer to make an overall report for the baseball team's expedition.

After the first game, his face was also a little ugly, he had bet all his treasures in the past two years on the baseball team and Lu Wenlong, if the Olympics couldn't enter, basically this road would be blocked, for him, he couldn't afford to wait another four years.

But adhering to the basic professionalism, at this critical moment, he still never bothered Lu Wenlong, but just sent some text reports back to China, and the pictures and video materials could only be seen in the newspaper when he returned.

However, this situation correspondingly also reduced the pressure on Lu Wenlong in their game, so when Zhang Liuming started this last round of the game, he saw Lu Wenlong who entered the arena nodding at him, slid his thumb between the middle finger and ring finger of the fist, exposed a little, and then opened the whole hand at once! A strange gesture......

Let Tang Canqing, as well as various foreign news media who pay attention to this magic eight, have a little guess, what kind of code is this?

Lu Wenlong, who started to play as a pitcher, was a little funny, wearing a baseball glove in his left hand, a strange woolen glove in his right hand, and a black woolen glove with a thumb as long as the other four fingers, and walked up to the pitcher area with a smile, until he was about to start, he took off his gloves and stuffed them into his butt pocket, but he stubbornly exposed a few fingers, and he seemed to watch the game with a trembling look.

This is only Tang Canqing knows the way, the gloves knitted by the sister-in-law, Lu Wenlong is still a little traditional superstitious, these days let Tang Canqing take his long hair and weave a small ring for him to wear, and there is a ribbon on his wrist, in his words, the most important blessings are accompanied, and the matter is man-made!

At the beginning of the game, Lu Wenlong seemed to be different from the previous games, and the style of pitching was simply a sudden change!

Even these national team teammates have not seen his weird way of pitching!

From the time Lu Wenlong first stepped on the baseball field of the Youth Games, he used a fast ball to get ahead, and then gradually added tricks from Old Man Xun and several ancient situations that he practiced. That's how he behaved until the first few games.

In the evaluation of this talented teenager in the Japanese and Korean media, there is such a clause: "The relatively simple way of pitching seems to be the only loophole of this teenager, but he unexpectedly confuses the opponent with a strange change of hand shape, making this unique form of relying on a strong fast ball become a symbol of his ......"

But today really surprised everyone, except for Tang Canqing and Zhao Lianjun, only they knew that in the past year, Lu Wenlong has been pursuing the change of pitching diversification, and today is just a small test!

Because he wants to convey to all his teammates a sense of confidence that he will win!

I have a trick!

And with his calm and relaxed appearance, even Zhao Lianjun wondered if he was hiding something in his hands. …,

As his opponent, the Japanese team has not been idle in the past year, so to speak, every batsman has turned over the video of this magic number eight to see the degree of vomiting, and with the help of Japan's world-leading video technology in this era, the boy's movements are broken down into single frames for analysis.

At this time, you have to admire the character of this island nation with some sharp horns, their specialized and refined style has been around since hundreds of years ago, so they basically know what Lu Wenlong's actions are like before and after, but because of some more peculiar habits, they can never imitate, it seems that these actions are based on a certain foundation, and they can only give up, but after watching the performance of No. 8 in the first few games, they put their minds at ease, it's still like that!

And today?

Just the first action, Lu Wenlong surprised almost everyone, no longer the one leg lift that almost all pitchers will do, throwing the ball vigorously, but holding the ball sideways in the glove, the left foot in front, taking a deep breath, as if he was about to lift the left leg, the whole body pressed down, the right shoulder sank, the right hand from front to back, from bottom to top, drew a perfect semicircle in the air, from the bottom of the whole body, that is, close to the ground!

For a moment, everyone seemed to think that he had smashed the ball to the ground and bounced off and flew over!

Because in that short moment, it was obvious that the baseball had a flight trajectory that sank first and then rose rapidly!

This action simply frustrated the Japanese professional media in the stands and the coaches and players in the player bench!

This action is not uncommon, in the middle of the major leagues in the United States there are people who throw this very weird way, this kind of low-shoulder hook handball has always been known for its weirdness and trickery, but the key is that the ball flies out of the ball, the name over there is a drifting ball, which means that the ball is in an unstable drift, not according to a fixed trajectory, not even a curve!

And in Japan, they gave this a more vivid term, called butterfly ball...... Because when flying into the home plate of the batter, the ball will flutter up and down, creating some phantoms......

What does it mean that a skillful pitch that is extremely difficult for someone to develop is mastered by a powerful golfer who already has a very high ball speed?

In fact, Lu Wenlong didn't know what to do, he just learned this weird low-shouldered hook pitching action on the American videotape, and he still made some changes in his hands according to Old Man Xun's tricks, the essence has not changed, just a camouflage version of the change ball!

That sinking curve feeling is really everyone's illusion!

It was still in his hands then!
