Chapter 37: The New Ball of Change (Tribute to Remling)
Sawamura and Miyuki deliberately hid aside to discuss new tactics.
There is a bridge in the middle of the river, and under the bridge hole is the place where the players of the Second Army often come to practice swinging sticks at night.
Sawamura and Miyuki bypassed the bridge, and through the cover of the bridge, they blocked the sight of several third-year seniors.
"Got a secret weapon?"
Miyuki is shrewd enough to see that Sawamura deliberately lured him to such a place, where he didn't know that Sawamura wanted to experiment with a new way of playing.
Here, Sawamura and Miyuki are experimenting with a new ball path, and on the other side, Usashiki's eyes have never left the bridge, as if he can cross the bridge and see Sawamura pitching.
"Now that you are cramming your feet, do you really think that there will be gods to help you?"
He said this to himself.
If it's someone else, it's really uncertain. Change ball, and it's not the cabbage sold at the door, as much as you want, give some money. But if you change Sawamura, it's really uncertain.
Now there are five or six kinds of ball paths that can be used in Sawamura's hands, how do you know that people can't think of one temporarily.
"I don't think so, but if it's Sawamura, he has it before, and he hasn't used the change ball, so it's impossible to say."
Chris's idea was unanimously endorsed by several third-year contestants.
To tell the truth, Chris deserves to be Sawamura's master, and he really knows Sawamura. Sawamura didn't think about thinking of a change ball temporarily, what he was going to take out now was a change ball that he had honed and was already very proficient.
From a past life, of course!
The other side of the bridge.
"Smack!"
After practicing a few balls, Miyuki gave Sawamura a thumbs up sincerely.
"Every time you change a grip, there is a clear change of the ball, I don't know if your talent is unprecedented, but it is definitely unprecedented."
Although I know that Sawamura has a talent for colorful change balls, this talent also has different levels because of the gap between the change of the ball path and the power of the ball.
Throwing a ball like Sawamura, Miyuki didn't say it before, and he hadn't heard of it.
"If you talk about the talent of the pitcher of the colorful change ball, there is also a hierarchy. Sawamura, your talent is definitely the strongest king! ”
"There is no need to say these flattering words that are not right, just talk about the change ball just now, do you think it can be used?"
Sawamura didn't have time to fight Miyuki here, and he was very eager to fight the third-year senior.
He wondered if the kind of ball he had just used would be of use against the third-year seniors.
"To tell you the truth, you haven't practiced this kind of ball at all! Since I haven't practiced it, I'm afraid it's hard to come in handy. ”
Miyuki groaned.
"Luckily, if you hit the target, you can still throw this ball into the good ball belt. In this way, if you play against the third grade, it can play a bluff role. ”
Here is an explanation of what kind of change is called practice, and what is called not practiced.
The so-called change ball is that the ball thrown must be obedient. In other words, if you want the ball to be thrown into the good ball belt and win the number of good balls, it will definitely be able to throw the good ball belt and win the number of good balls.
There is also a change in the ball itself, it must be sharp enough, it can't be easily aimed, and it can't be shot weakly, and it is swept out by others.
To put it bluntly, you have to be as dangerous as you are in possession and pitching.
This kind of change ball can come in handy in an official duel.
Sawamura's change ball had been practiced many times in his previous life, but now that he is throwing again, the power of the ball itself is enough. But in possession of the ball, you have to re-hone it!
After all, Sawamura's current physical fitness, finger length, height, and muscle strength are all very different from his previous life, and it is difficult to pitch like his previous life.
This requires a lot of practice and constant running-in, of course, because he has the experience and foundation of his previous life, the process is definitely much faster than his previous life. But no matter how fast you are, it has a process after all, and it is impossible for Sawamura to master the new change ball in just ten minutes.
Even if he came up with a more certain one this time, possession of the ball was still a big problem.
Aside from aiming near the center, he struggled to score the ball well.
That's why Miyuki said that the new changes in Sawamura can only play the role of a bluff.
"Bluff is bluff, there are only so many weapons that can be used now. Now it's time to think carefully about how to use the weapons we have at hand to deal with our opponents. ”
"Enough!"
After the two of them finished the special training of the Buddha's feet, they walked out amid the impatient cry of Izaki Jun.
"Let's get started!"
This is already the fourth round and there is nothing to say.
Everyone lined up in turn and got ready to play.
The seniors of the third grade, the first baton is the first baton Kominato Ryosuke in Wannian, the second baton Chris, and the third baton Knot.
All three of them had played Sawamura's ball before, and now it was a great opportunity for the three of them to play.
These seniors in the third grade don't have the idea of being polite to the younger juniors. They made it clear that they were going to take advantage of the victory to pursue them.
In the previous three rounds, Sawamura fell behind 2:1. If he wins in the fourth round, according to everyone's previous agreement, Sawamura can also cast another round.
If he loses again in this round, then he will lose 3:1 completely.
As far as the situation is concerned, Sawamura is now equivalent to being forced to go to Liangshan, and can only move forward, not retreat.
"Good shot!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Two goals, just two goals, Sawamura won two good balls and chased Ryosuke Kominato.
But this didn't make Sawamura and Miyuki easy at all. Judging by Ryosuke Kominato's previous urine, it is impossible to know whether he chooses to entangle at this time or choose to win with the next ball.
Miyuki thinks that continuing to entangle with Ryosuke Kominato will only increase Sawamura's pitches more, waste time, and leak information, and there is no real point.
If the situation is like this, let's get started, let's take a good look at the latest changes in the ball.
Miyuki is in the position of the catcher and gives Sawamura a code.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura nodded silently, and he also thought that it was time to throw a new change of ball.
Leg lifts, strides, blocks, arm swings, pitches......
No matter what kind of ball he throws, Sawamura's movements are standard like robots, and you can't see any flaws in his movements at all.
In this regard, Ryosuke Kominato, who is an opponent, is also used to it.
He didn't dwell on Sawamura's movements, but patiently waited for Sawamura's ball to come.
Here it comes!
Because I couldn't see the release point, the ball came very suddenly and very quickly. Fortunately, Ryosuke Kominato was mentally prepared, so he didn't panic, and when he saw the ball coming, he didn't hesitate to swing his bat.
The ball in the red, he will not let go no matter what.
The bat was swung out, and it was about to hit the ball, but the ball miraculously escaped.
Right in front of Ryosuke Kominato's eyes, escaping to the outer corners, there is still a certain amount of sinking.
With such a sudden change, Ryosuke Kominato was caught off guard and failed to swing his bat.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
"Strikeout!!
Just as the third-year seniors thought, Sawamura's new change ball has appeared!
