Chapter 68: A Fork in the Road to the Future That Begins to Change (Part 3)
PS: I still owe five chapters, and then, this week's recommendation votes are closed at eight o'clock, and it's 3300 votes, plus one more chapter, so, I still owe six chapters!
As soon as the speedball comes out, who will compete with it!!
Originally, Xiubei High School, which was severely suppressed by Cheng Gong Ming and Harada Masako, was severely suppressed by the pair of pitchers, and after Cheng Gong Ming threw a speedball, the stubborn will to resist collapsed in an instant, and then, even if it was because of exposing too much information, he was reprimanded by the supervision of the national friend, and replaced the follow-up throw.
Xiubei High School is also completely unable to find the north.
Swing the bat, good ball, swing the bat, good ball, and then out, muddy, it is very appropriate to use this word to describe Xiubei High School, and it is almost a moment, and this second practice match has also come to an end.
Like Qingdao High School, Daocheng Industrial also scored 20 points in Xiubei High School.
And, apart from two hits, not a single point was conceded.
In terms of scores, Daocheng Industrial also closed Xiubei High School.
It can be said that this time the three-school exchange competition, Xiubei High School is undoubtedly extremely sad, originally as an emerging team in the eastern region, but also planned to show their skills this summer, but did not expect that before the summer competition.
It was brought such a hand.
Now, presumably, this group of guys can imagine the degree of despair in their hearts.
Of course, at this point, neither Qingdao nor Daocheng Industry will care, and in their eyes, there is only each other's existence.
Leaving Xiubei High School silently in the corner to draw circles, the so-called sadness flows into a river, which is probably such a scene.
Then, the next thing that will take place is the practice match between Seido High School and Inagi Industry.
For this practice match, both sides also have a very tacit understanding, and they did not board the main force at all, of course, not all of them are substitute players, as far as the simple goal is concerned.
Both sides are here, and there is a hint of temptation in it.
That is to roughly test how deep the opponent's bottom line is, it doesn't matter if you can't measure it, you can also see the strength of the main force from the bench, of course, virtual and real, the two sides in this practice match, it has already opened the prelude to the summer competition.
This is part of the strategic arrangement.
It depends on who on both sides can deceive whom, and then who can see through whom.
The so-called baseball game, even if it is just student baseball, is not just a competition on the court, in a sense, every sports competition is like this, it is a war without gunpowder.
Pre-war reconnaissance, strategic deception, tactical arrangement, logistics support, real-time combat strength, on-the-spot united front command.
From the big side to the small details.
The struggle of every team, the victory of every game, this is no accident.
It is the inevitable result hidden under sweat and tears.
None of the Japanese high school students who really want to go to that holy place is simple!!!
Whether it is in terms of technology, strength, or psychology, they are far more expensive than ordinary people, and they are also quite conscious.
Therefore, such a practice match, including the previous game against Xiubei High School, is a strategic arrangement and tactical test for the benches of both sides and their own coaches before the real competition.
Aodo was also the main player in the top half of the team, including Tetsu and Koichiro Tanba, a third-year pitcher.
On the side of Inagi Industry, Narumiya Naru did not play, but as the captain of the main catcher, Masako Harada, he still appeared in this game.
These are all ploys on the surface.
That is, Chiguoguo's conspiracy, set or say, basically, in the Kataoka superintendent and the national friend superintendent contact, during this practice match, both sides expected such a scene.
Only Xiubei High School is a little stupid to come here.
The last practice match of the Summer Tournament kicked off in such an atmosphere.
And it was also on the court that this practice match was in full swing.
Inside the indoor training ground.
Akira Shibuyani and Eijun Sawamura have been doing a lot of pitching training for a long time.
The two sides here, the subject has one thing in common, that is, the problem of ball control, Rong Chun is to further truly control the outside corner of the ball, and can effectively ensure that the ball is stable on the low ball in the outside corner.
And Falling Valley Xiao is relatively simple.
It's about unconditionally keeping the ball down.
Hold it down, as long as it is low, for the kind of big speedball like Gu Xiao, as long as you can press down the ball, you can force most people to play the bat, and it is still very likely to be an empty shot.
"Huh"
"Smack"
"It's too high, down the valley, think about the feel of yesterday's game, you have to have the feeling of smashing into home plate." Miyuki threw the ball back and said to Akira Shibuyani.
"Yes."
"Sawamura, the point is the feeling of the fingers, control it well, and in this way, it can be more accurate."
On the other hand, Chris is also slowly correcting Rong Chun's pitching posture and ball holding posture in details, especially the hard ball is more characteristic than the soft ball, the biggest feature is the stitching on the ball.
Ball control is not only a matter of feel, but also for the control of the stitches, which must be in place to accurately control the ball.
If you hold the ball indiscriminately, the ball thrown will also be messy.
At this point, in the original book, Rong Chun's pitching is very distinct.
Later, under the orthodox teaching of Chris, he mastered the suture grip, and the ball control was further improved, of course, it is also for this reason that in the original book, in the autumn competition, Rong Chun's quirk ball characteristics have disappeared a little.
Later, an upgraded version of the Quirk Ball was opened, and the characteristics and advantages of the Quirk Ball were really utilized.
This time is different, Rong Chun himself is also consciously honing his control of the quirk ball, the control of the stitches, he would rather be slower, and he plans to go more steadily.
Under the communication with Chris, Chris also used this to formulate a corresponding training program for Rong Chun.
"Yes, I understand, Chris-senpai." Rong Chun nodded and replied in a deep voice.
"Well, then, try another ball, hold here, don't let go, don't push too hard." Chris said softly.
"Yes."
Two pitchers, two catchers, practice with each other, and that's a very common sight these days.
Especially Yuyuki, it can be said that he is the most tired catcher during this time, as the main catcher of the team, he has the obligation and must be familiar with all the pitchers in the team.
After all, according to the current arrangement, this summer, Qingdao High School is planning to play in a follow-up shooting mode.
In the original book, Tanba's injury did provide a great opportunity for the two first-year pitchers to play, but this does not mean that only Tamba is injured and the two first-year players can play, in the original book, Superintendent Kataoka also said it.
In the summer, he plans to play in the double ace mode of Tsukashi Taniya and Tamba.
There is no mention of Eichun, naturally because Eichun was still unstable at that time, and Kawakami was not mentioned, because Kawakami has always appeared as a relay pitcher.
Therefore, as early as the beginning of the season, Kataoka supervised and decided that this year's pitcher mound arrangement was a follow-up pitching tactic.
After all, Koichiro Tanba is still not a very stable trump card.
Tanba's injury only gave the two first-year students more opportunities to play, and it was not the decisive reason.
The fundamental reason is that Sawamura and Shibuyani can be used together, otherwise, no matter how injured Tanba is, it will not be the turn of two first-year pitchers to appear.
