Chapter 19: The Last Test (Tribute to Remling)
"Humph!"
As expected, Yu Xing's reminder was exchanged for a cold snort in the palace.
"There is no way back for us in the third grade, just like Tambo now, every ball is full of his fighting spirit. Chris is back from injury and will not back down either. Even if he climbs, he will climb up and drag you down. ”
"O~"
Yu Yuki's casual answer made people feel that he was particularly under-kicked.
"And I, of course, too. I'm going to pull you off the top catcher. ”
The palace didn't care about Miyuki's attitude, but when he said this, he was very serious.
Obviously, he made up his mind.
"Okay, I'll wait."
Miyuki showed an elusive self-confidence at this time.
"Smack!"
After receiving the ball from Kawakami, Miyuki took advantage of the kung fu of the return pass to communicate with Kawakami.
"That's a good vote! With precise ball control and corner variation, as long as you can hone your weapon, I believe you can take your place in the pitcher lineup even if the summer tournament begins. ”
Miyuki is full of praise for Kawakami's current pitching.
It's just that when I heard these words in Kawakami's ears, I might not be very happy.
"The words of praise come out of your mouth, and it always makes people feel very conspiracy."
The impression left by Miyuki on the same contestants has always been a poisonous tongue. At this time, he praised himself coldly, which really made it difficult for Kawakami to adapt.
Fortunately, Kawakami also knows what is going on with him, and he has no desire to compete with Tanba and Sawamura for ace pitchers.
All he has to do now is hone his pitching.
Such down-to-earth training has allowed him to improve rapidly during this time. In fact, after a year of training at Qingdao High School, it was time to slowly harvest.
On the other side, Tambo and Chris's partner is very amazing. Every time Tambo throws a ball, there is a huge reverberation.
Chris looked at Tambo like this, thoughtful.
Considering the current Tanba, it is already very tired. He's throwing really well right now!
Every ball is full of fighting spirit.
At this time, there was an extraordinary fighting spirit in Tamba's eyes.
It's not the first time Chris has partnered with him, and when the partners were swapped before, Chris was more about cooperating with Tambo; Miyuki went to cooperate with Sawamura; Kawakami's partner is Miyauchi.
So Chris is also clear about the change ball that Tamba is newly pondering.
Is it going to be made public?
Before, Tanba secretly practiced changing balls, but he kept it secret from Miyuki and Sawamura.
It's not that Tambo has any small calculations, it's just that he doesn't want his embarrassed appearance in the process of honing the change ball to let the junior students see it.
Now that the new Orb of Change has been honed and matured enough to be used as a weapon, Tamba thinks it's time to make it public.
At the same time, it was also his last charge against Sawamura.
As a third-year senior, it is impossible for Tanba, the original ace of the team, to be caught and give up the trump card position to Sawamura.
Come on!
Chris fully understands Tanbo's thoughts, and this time will not stop Tanbo from challenging the trump card.
Tanba throws the ball.
The small white ball, which flew into Chris's glove like a straight line, and suddenly fell before entering the good ball belt.
"Smack!"
At this moment, the surrounding space seems to slow down a little.
Miyuki, Kawakami, Miyauchi, Sawamura.
The rest of the four men of the First Army all looked at Tanba in surprise.
The other three were never seen before before that Tamba threw this kind of ball.
And Miyachi didn't understand why Tanba was revealing the ball used as a hole card at this time.
"It's, Finger Fork!"
Miyuki's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
This kind of change ball is too meaningful for Tamba. When Tamba is in a low state, let's not say, when he is in good shape, Tamba's pitching is very standard.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Tamba doesn't have any weaknesses when he pitches well.
The reason why everyone agrees that Tanba is not as good as Sawamura.
It's because Sawamura's entire pitching system has no obvious weaknesses.
In other words, unless the beater is particularly tough, or it is a special coincidence, it is difficult to deal with Sawamura.
When Sawamura pitches, it is not easy to be targeted.
No matter what the occasion or what kind of opponent he faces, Sawamura is able to show extraordinary strength.
This is the reason why everyone feels that Sawamura can replace Tanba and be the ace.
As for Tanba, he is also very sharp in his usual pitching, but he is not as good as Sawamura in that he is easy to target.
There are only two types of balls: straight balls and high-drop curveballs.
The high drop curveball itself is not easy to aim, so the hitter will often aim for this straight ball against Tanba.
Whenever this happens, Miyuki cooperates with Tanba, and has to use too many high-drop curveballs.
But the change ball is used a lot, and in the second half of the game, the hitter can almost get used to Tamba's change ball.
And this is the time when Tambo often collapses.
Now, with the addition of finger crossballs, Tanba's pitches have been enriched by 50 percent.
And it's easy to confuse a fork ball with a straight ball.
It will be difficult for the hitter to aim for Tanba's straight ball as before.
"Senior Tamba is really cheering up!"
Miyuki sighed.
On the other side, the palace was still immersed in shock.
"Senior, catch the ball!"
At the pitching position, Sawamura's indifferent voice suddenly came.
Miyauchi was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded and motioned for Sawamura to throw the ball over.
Then he saw that Sawamura's right foot was raised high, and then fell down hard.
At the same time, the glove in his right hand was like a wall, obscuring the front of his body. And the left hand with which he threw the ball was also completely obscured.
I can't see the shot point at all!
The palace was subconsciously shocked.
Then he saw Sawamura's left hand, like a whip, swinging.
Without any warning, a small white ball roared out of Sawamura's hand.
Quick, so fast!
It was as fast as a bolt of lightning, and it suddenly slashed in front of the palace.
"Smack!"
His gloves barely touched the ball, and then watched as it popped out.
Miyauchi turned his head incredulously and looked at Sawamura in the pitching position.
Sawamura's pitch, looking at the position of receiving the ball, is it so difficult to catch?
"This kid is angry too!"
Miyuki watched it with relish.
Although Sawamura usually likes to laugh and make trouble, there is one thing he is particularly serious about.
Definitely not a hippie smiley.
That's pitching.
Even if he was still a first-year junior, he wouldn't give up that spot on the pitcher's mound.
looked at Tanba, then at Sawamura, and Miyuki sighed.
"The pitchers, sure enough, are some self-centered guys."
