Chapter 8: The Protagonist's Personality
"Boom!!"
The ball thrown from the pitcher's mound feels like a meteorite falling from the end of the sun.
Not only were the players of Feilian High School scared enough, but the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School were also very surprised.
An assistant coach with the team muttered as he took notes.
"Since the end of Koshien in the spring, Tsukiya Xiao has been like taking medicine, and the whole person is completely open."
The surrounding friends also nodded again and again.
They also feel exactly the same way.
It's just that they thought that only they thought so, but today when they heard the words of the assistant coach, they finally became convinced.
It's not their delusion, it's that the state of Xiaogu is obviously wrong.
"In the spring, Koshien, the match with the troll Oshimaki High School that asked him to finish the pitch seems to have given him quite a lot of confidence."
Water has a source, and trees have roots.
Everything must develop for a reason.
Descending Gu Xiao suddenly behaved so violently as if he had taken an aphrodisiac.
There must be a fuse.
Thinking about it is the fuse that can convince the coaching staff of Seido High School and most of the players.
Probably only one match between him and Hongo Masamune of the troll Otomaki High School.
After that game, Akira officially showed the strength of the top pitcher in the country. Previously, he was just the fastest pitcher in the country.
The fastest pitcher in the country, such a name is certainly conspicuous. But if you really want to talk about it, it's not very decent.
On the contrary, it gives people a feeling of being strong on the outside and dry on the inside.
The fastest pitcher, but the strength is not the best in the country.
It's hard to make people jealous of the valley.
But after that fight, he proved himself in front of a national audience.
Genuine strength, without a hint of adulteration.
The best strength in the country.
When you're in a good state, you can compete with Hongo's Masamune strength.
With such strength, it is not surprising that Akira Shibuyani showed such a fighting pitch.
It's just a little worrying.
Superintendent Kataoka's brow furrowed tightly, and he never let go.
The assistant coach looked at his supervisor for some reason.
There is an ace like Sawamura Eijun in the team, and there is a substitute like Akira Shibuyani under his hands, so it stands to reason that Superintendent Kataoka should feel that it is going well.
How do you look at him, it doesn't seem like that at all?
The assistant coach's vision is still very poisonous. Superintendent Kataoka really didn't relax because of Akira Shibuyani's pitch.
On the contrary, he seemed more worried.
Now there is nothing wrong with Akira Shibuyani's pitch looking strong.
However, there are many cases of floating up and flying out of the good ball belt.
I don't know when it started, but Akira Tsukitani returned to the state he had just entered the school.
It's the state of his savage pitching before.
Now his pitching is full of unreasonable flavor.
It feels like he's going to rely on his ball speed to crush everything.
Of course, this is not a no-go.
Even in the eyes of Superintendent Kataoka, the current Akira Katagani is not as good as his previous state.
You have to know how much effort it took to get most of his balls into the good ball belt.
Now I don't say that the previous efforts have been lost, but it is indeed a lot of regression.
Of those pitches that had just come down, less than half of them were bad balls.
This ratio is much higher than before.
How can Superintendent Kataoka feel at ease?
Kataoka is worried, but the situation on the field is very favorable for the Seido High School baseball team.
Faced with the heavy pitch of Xiaoya to death.
The players from Feilian University couldn't stand the pressure at all and kept waving their bats.
In this way, whether it is a good ball or a bad ball, Xiaogu has played a very good effect.
Scored three strikeouts in succession.
And because most of his shots are good, a small part of them will be bad.
It feels more like he deliberately used bad balls to seduce hitters to swing their bats to cheat the good ball count.
So much so that his whole person immediately rose from the level in the opponent's mind to a level.
This can be seen from the heavy atmosphere in the rest area of Feilian High School.
Their little friends looked at the Qingdao High School baseball team with heavy faces, and looked at the pitcher's hill and Xiao Gu.
They have a deep sense that their brains can't keep up with their thoughts.
King Qingdao High School, is it really so strong?
Not to mention that he had a trick with Qingdao's ace pitcher Sawamura Eijun, even the substitute Akira Shibuya couldn't solve it.
"The gap shouldn't be so big!"
The superintendent of Feilian High School frowned slightly.
For today's game, he has been preparing for a long time and has come up with a lot of countermeasures.
But I never thought that the gap between the two teams would be so big that they didn't even qualify for the meeting.
This is completely different from what he had in mind when he prepared the materials.
In his original plan, in today's game, they will not have any advantage.
At most, the two sides are only four or six.
They accounted for four, and Seido High School accounted for six.
But what is shown on the pitch is completely different.
In today's game, Qingdao High School won more than 60%.
They even take up 70 percent, 80 percent.
Don't wait for Feilian's supervision, figure out what's going on?
The garrison of Seido High School has ended.
He shook his head, completely brushing aside the jumbled thoughts in his head and trying to concentrate on the game.
He always firmly believes that the gap between the two sides is definitely not that big.
So the most important thing at this time is to stabilize their position, and they must not mess up first.
As long as they can hold their ground, they will be able to find a counter-attack.
In the second half of the first game, Qingdao High School attacked.
"Keep dragging it out! As time drags on, flaws will always appear. ”
This is the intention of the superintendent of Feilian University.
The friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School also understand what the other party is planning now.
The trend of this kind of game can be seen at a glance as long as you have a little knowledge of baseball.
But they know what they know, but they are helpless.
The superintendent of Feilian University is not wrong at all. As long as it drags on, problems will definitely arise.
Even the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School think so in their hearts.
Although they knew that Xiao's strength was very strong, he had often performed well before.
But it feels like it's not very reliable.
This is not to say that Gu Xiao's strength is really so unreassuring. Among the top star pitchers in the country, there are pitchers with various small defects, and there are many of them.
Why are people relieved?
A big reason for this is because in their team, there is simply no other option.
The fundamental reason why the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School are a little worried about falling to Gu Xiao is because they have a choice.
If there is no Sawamura Eijun in the team.
To have a pitcher like Gu Xiao join, they have long been grateful to Dade, where will they pick and choose?
This kind of unease has both disadvantages and benefits.
It is precisely because of this unease that the friends of the Qingdao High School Baseball Club who are preparing to attack have secretly made up their minds.
Be sure to hit the opponent's ball.
They wouldn't think about replacing Gu Xiao because they weren't worried about Gu Xiao's performance.
It's not a formal match for a critical situation, it's just a practice game to adjust your condition.
Isn't practicing a competition just about experimenting with all sorts of possibilities?
The current situation is also part of the experiment.
So they never thought about finding a reason in the pitcher, and if they wanted to win, they just had to score more points than the opponent.
"Hip hop!"
Yoichi Kuramochi was the first to stand in the strike zone.
The fairy grass, who looked like a Eurasian hybrid, was standing on the pitcher's mound at the moment.
He is the ace pitcher of Feilian High School, and the only hope of Feilian University.
Don't look at the players from Feilian University, a tall individual looks like an elite.
But those who know them well know that these guys are nowhere near as good as they sell.
In other words, most of the strength is relatively average.
Otherwise, Feilian University will not have mediocre grades all along.
It wasn't until this man joined that Feilian University underwent a fundamental change.
Fairy grass straight!
If you put him in the two-dimensional world, he is a proper protagonist personality.
The world is so unfair, especially when it comes to sports.
Some people are just born powerful, and there is nothing to be done.
Just like when playing basketball, height is often an invincible weapon.
Mainland superstar Yao Ming doesn't call for wind and rain in the NBA, but he is definitely a very famous idol.
When he was playing baseball, he counted on his fingers, and he could be counted by any means.
If you really want to talk about Yao Ming's ball skills, it must be good.
But to say that he can reach the top 10 in the NBA by skill alone, and he has been selected as an All-Star every time.
That's a bit of nonsense.
Whether it's pitching skills, bouncing skills, passing skills, dribbling skills.
From the analysis of these professional techniques, Yao Ming's ranking in the NBA is absolutely impossible to the point where he can count it with his fingers.
So why was he able to achieve so much?
People may say that there is a simple reason that there are more Chinese who support him.
Can you become such a great superstar just by having a lot of support?
That's certainly impossible.
If you don't perform well enough, no matter how many people support you, it's for nothing.
There are not one or two Chinese playing in the NBA, why only Yao Ming came out, and the others did not come out?
There must be a reason for this.
The reason why Yao Ming can perform so well is because he is tall enough.
Coupled with his good technique.
This is what we see now as Yao Ming.
It's the same on a baseball field.
More people are working hard to practice baseball?
When it comes to hard work and diligence, Qianyuan is one of the best in the country.
But has his strength reached that level?
That's definitely not the case.
What is this for? Also because of talent.
Have enough talent and are willing to put in the effort.
The players who can really stand out must have these two things.
Fairy grass straight, is it hard enough?
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball club don't know!
However, his talent is really first-class.
