Chapter 2: The Great Demon King's Painstaking Efforts
Fast!
Faster!!!
Chen Ping, who was running, felt that he had to break the obstacles of the dimension.
Both of his feet, like the wheels of a running car, have been revised.
One!
Two!
……
Before the third could shout, Chen Ping had already rushed to second base.
When the baseball came back just now, he was only two or three meters away from the second base.
That is, in the blink of an eye, he can touch the base bag.
This time, it was about the same distance again, and the white ball flew from the back of his head.
The agile Kuramochi is like a cheetah that hunts its prey, waiting there for a long time and biting it.
"Smack!"
"Out!!"
"Boy, you're still too tender!"
In Kurachi's tone, there was a bit of pampering.
Chen Ping frowned and looked at the position of the catcher.
His brain was desperately running, but he couldn't figure out what had just happened.
"One more time!"
"Smack!"
"Out !!"
Three times in a row, the result is exactly the same.
Chen Ping's eyes also revealed stubbornness.
Although the guy didn't say anything, it was not difficult to see from his stubborn eyes.
He was still unconvinced, and very unconvinced.
"Everyone else still has to practice, we can't keep going like this!"
Sawamura Eijun's tone was a little indifferent.
"I'll explain to you when I'm done guarding this round."
After Chen Ping, the beaters began to hit one after another, and the runners were also cooperating with them.
In the case of limiting the inside corner, Sawamura's goalkeeping results were not satisfactory.
Guarded a total of 11 times.
One of them was netted and four times were safely escorted.
In other words, there were four people in it who successfully used short shots to ensure that the runner was safely on base.
Of course, it was not only the four of them who chose to use a short fight, but only the four of them succeeded.
The rest failed.
The man who won the hit was Haruichi Kominato.
Recently, Kominato's momentum is also very strong, and there has been a vague rebirth.
After completing his own garrison mission, Sawamura Eijun also ended.
This result brought a very huge shock to the four people who had just entered the first army.
The omnipotent Great Demon King was not at all easy in the process of guarding.
The other players of the First Army also put a lot of pressure on Sawamura.
This is the level of the Qingdao First Army!
Although their original strength was not bad, they didn't seem to have much advantage compared to these guys.
"It is worthy of being an army of the king Qingdao, and the atmosphere is really different."
Yui Smoke's eyes were unusually hot.
Finally, he also came to this place.
At the beginning of the next round, the pitcher of Seido High School was changed to Kawakami.
He also had a dazzling performance, hitting just three hits and getting five free drives.
On the surface, this doesn't seem to be a big deal.
But that's not the case, the hitters at Qingdao High School know a lot about these pitchers on their team.
Although the pitcher also knows the hitter, the pitcher needs to study more than 20 people alone, so naturally there is no way to concentrate as much as the hitter.
So this kind of test on the same team is very disadvantageous for the pitcher.
In this case, it is also limited to the possibility of taking inside corners.
The pitcher's situation is even worse.
Kawakami was able to concede only three hits, which is already very rare.
Some hitters opt for short shots because they don't have the confidence to hit Kawakami's ball.
In this round of practice, Sawamura Eisan was the first to play, and one of the three hits was his.
After completing the exercises, he took the initiative to find Watanabe and Chen Ping.
At this time, Watanabe was using a smartphone to play back to Chen Ping what he had filmed before.
The content is very detailed, including the actions of Sawamura Eijun and Miyuki Kazuya.
In fact, it is very simple, it is Sawamura Eisumi who took advantage of the privilege of shooting back and reduced the time consumed by his throwing action.
And Yukiichi also stood up directly in the process of receiving the ball, which saved some time.
Although both of these times are not very long, they add up to a few tenths of a second.
A few tenths of a second, in a duel on the baseball field, is enough to decide life and death.
Not to mention, they were originally fast!
The two of them hadn't done their best just now, and if they did their best, the speed would be even faster.
"When you're actually playing, I use my gaze or the ball to contain your movements. What I can think of, the star pitchers of other teams must be able to think of as well. In the case of being deliberately targeted, how to exert your strength? That's what you're going to think about next......"
"Yes!"
Chen Ping said convincingly.
He is not a person who does not know what to do, of course he knows that the reason why Sawamura Eijun did this is to cultivate himself.
"Show me those three results."
Chen Ping's attitude was impeccable, and Sawamura didn't say anything anymore.
He turned his head to look at Watanabe and said directly.
Watanabe handed a small note in his hand to Sawamura.
During the delivery process, his hands trembled slightly.
After Sawamura took it, he glanced at the three numbers on it.
I pinched it hard in my heart.
2.90 seconds!
2.88 seconds!
2.92 seconds!!
The difference is negligible, averaging 2.9 seconds.
Sawamura Eisan felt like he had a terrible toothache.
All three times actually ran into three seconds, if it was him and Yu Yuyuki, it would be the first time he encountered a monster like Chen Ping.
Without any psychological preparation, it is likely that he will steal the base!
Who would have thought that such a monster would not go to the athletics club, but to the baseball club?
But this routine can be used once, and if you want to use it a second time, I'm afraid it won't work.
It is now an information society, and Seido High School is the strongest team in the country.
As long as Chen Ping completes a performance in an official competition, it will definitely cause a sensation in the media.
When the time comes, the media will make a sensation and report it.
Qingdao High School wants to use Chen Ping as a secret weapon again, it is impossible.
If before the summer competition, I want to really let Chen Ping come in handy.
He still has a lot to learn......
To tell the truth, there is really a lack of such a character in the ranks of the first army of Qingdao High School.
The core players of a team, in addition to the starting nine, have three roles that are also necessary.
The first, of course, is the pitcher's bench.
Without a good bench pitcher, it's hard to make it to the end in a high-paced tournament like high school baseball.
Someone has to rotate with the ace pitcher so that the team can go to the end.
The second is a substitute for a critical moment.
It's not that every time the team encounters a critical situation, the big line is just the turn of the upper position, or the core line.
It's the same with a good scoring opportunity.
Maybe the next batter is not reliable at all.
In this case, if there is a good substitute in the team, the result is very different.
The last one is to run on behalf of you...
This is the same as the principle of substitution.
Seido High School is not without good runners, like Yoichi Kuramochi, whose strength is definitely the top in the country.
But he is not a qualified substitute runner.
The reason is simple, because he is the regular main player of the baseball club of Seido High School.
Naturally, he couldn't be on the base pack when the team needed it.
These players are a top team in the country, basic configuration.
If you want to be a little more luxurious, then you also need to arrange a strong substitute in each main position.
Substitutes for first and third base, substitutes for shortstops and second basemen, substitutes for outfielders.
Plus a pitcher's bench and a catcher's bench.
That's 17 places.
Add a panacea, and you'll have 18 places in Koshien.
Any big team, as long as they have enough personnel in their team.
They are definitely looking for players from these aspects.
The players in other positions in Qingdao High School already have good candidates.
The only thing that is lacking now is to run on behalf of others.
This is also the reason why Kataoka's supervisors and coaching staff will promote Chen Ping exceptionally.
Originally, Tuoma was also a good candidate.
In terms of comprehensive strength PK, Chen Ping is PK but not Tuoma.
After all, relatively speaking, Tuoma's strength is more comprehensive, and it is already a very good combat power.
It's just a pity that there is no shortage of such a well-rounded player in the Qingdao High School baseball team.
All they lack now is a runner who can be a wonder soldier.
From this point of analysis, Chen Ping is undoubtedly more suitable.
Sawamura carefully looked at the young man in front of him, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
It is said that the times create heroes.
Chen Ping really had a good time.
If it were in other periods, Kataoka's supervisors and coaching staff would never have cared about developing such a newcomer.
"How can I improve?"
Chen Ping humbly asked.
The object of his humble consultation is naturally Sawamura Eijun.
"Bring a pen!"
Chen Ping honestly took a pen and handed it to Sawamura Rongjun.
Sawamura nodded, holding the pen between his two fingers, and then motioned for Chen Ping to prepare to pick it up.
"Have you played this game?"
Chen Ping shook his head honestly.
"Then you're done!"
Sawamura smiled lightly, then let go of his fingers.
Chen Ping's reflex nerve was still good, and he put it under Sawamura Rongchun's palm, and immediately grabbed it, firmly grasping the pen.
After grabbing it, Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Sawamura said coldly: "Unqualified." ”
Chen Ping stared at his innocent eyes and looked at Sawamura inexplicably.
Sawamura pointed to the English letters on the tip of his pen.
"Do you see this letter clearly? Your task is to be unbiased, use the top of your index finger to grasp the letter. ”
"Oh!"
Chen Ping nodded.
He didn't understand why Sawamura Eijun asked him to do this? However, these things can be studied slowly after him.
You don't have to think about it that much now, just follow along.
"Don't play this game with the same person all the time, find a few more people to play with you. One day, when you change five people in a row, you can successfully catch the letters. We're on the next step......"
Chen Ping nodded honestly.
Don't know why? There was a little excitement in his heart.
That feeling is like the protagonist in martial arts, who is learning some peerless magic skills from his grandfather.
It's like the most awesome kung fu in Shaolin Temple, which must have been practiced from the room.
This little game taught to him by senior Esumi Sawamura is definitely not that simple when you think about it.
There must be something in it that he doesn't know yet.
"When you practice, hone your skit skills. This may help you in the future. ”
After Sawamura said these words, he stretched his arms and wrists and prepared to play.
The third round of practice began......
