21. Conquest and conflict
"Huh? What was found? Coach Wu walked over and asked. Although the tone was very calm, in fact, Coach Wu was not very comfortable. Although Li Yu has played in junior high school and has good strength, he is a first-year newcomer after all, and he made an exception to let him train with the senior class, and he actually stood up and talked to the coach after receiving a few balls, which is too big and small.
"How to say it, in short, Ouyang Dong's ball is very comfortable to catch." Li Yu said.
Shen Sihang said to Zhang Sheng: "This year's first grade is too arrogant. Shen Sihang is also a third-year catcher, his strength is good, and he is very hopeful to get the back number this year, but due to the existence of Zhang Sheng, there is almost no possibility of playing the main force, Wang Wengang plans to let him squat in the cowshed to assist the pitcher in warming up. Wang Chuan had already set the No. 10 back number in Wang Wengang's heart, so Wang Chuan and Shen Sihang trained in a group. He also knew about Ouyang Dong's big words last night. Zhang Sheng knew it through Cheng Qi. After a few days of contact, he didn't feel that Ouyang Dong was arrogant, but just felt that it was a kind of confidence. As for Li Yu, he didn't see it very thoroughly, so he just smiled and didn't answer.
These words made Coach Wu very annoyed in his heart. A little thing is a big fuss, what kind of system. He was about to reprimand a few words, but he heard Li Yu say: "I just caught a few balls, they were all in the same position at first, and then I tried to change the gloves a little bit to place them in a few positions, but each ball flew into my gloves very accurately, and I didn't have to move at all, so I said it was very comfortable to pick up." Maybe Ouyang Dong's ability to control the ball is innate. ”
Ouyang Dong was confused when he heard it, but Coach Wu's eyes really lit up. Ball control is an important indicator to measure the level of pitchers, and excellent pitchers with good ball control will not be very bad, but if you want to practice excellent ball control, a lot of training is indispensable, and some people with insufficient talent may not be able to practice at all. It would be too terrifying if Ouyang Dong could stably throw it to the place where the gloves were placed, as Li Yu said.
Coach Qian didn't believe that anyone had such talent, so he walked up to Li Yu and said, "Give me the gloves." ”
Li Yu did so. Coach Qian took the gloves, moved his body slightly, squatted in front of home plate, and said to Ouyang Dong: "Throw it into my gloves!" ”
The attention of everyone in the cowshed was grabbed.
First of all, Coach Qian put the gloves in the center, for the trained pitchers, it is easy to throw the ball, but it is the least able to throw, because it is too easy to be beaten back. The first ball entered the glove steadily, Coach Qian raised his eyebrows, threw the ball back, and placed the glove above the good ball area: "Come again!" "The second ball flew into the glove again. These two balls completely shocked the people in the cowshed. The air fell silent in an instant. Coach Qian continued to throw the ball back, this time placing his gloves on the edge of the good ball area, which was the most difficult way to play, and he had decided not to move the gloves regardless of the incoming ball. Coach Wu was expressionless and did not stop it, but he was looking forward to it in his heart. Li Yu had a smile on his face that planned to watch the play. And Zhang Sheng and the others looked at it with anticipation, and they all knew the meaning of that position.
Although Coach Qian didn't say anything this time, Ouyang Dong also knew what to do, and he made a set of standard movements again and threw the ball steadily into the glove. There was a sudden burst of cheers in the cowshed, and it was the second and third graders cheering for the younger ones, a school where people only respect the powerful. Although Ouyang Dong's strength is not very strong now, the ball control he showed is enough to conquer these picky seniors.
Coach Qian looked at the ball in his gloves incredulously, his eyes full of shock. He stood up and glanced at Coach Wu, and the two nodded tacitly. Immediately, Coach Wu shouted to the cheering children: "If you have enough trouble, continue training." ”
He threw the ball back to Ouyang Dong, returned the gloves to Li Yu, and said in a calm tone, "Continue training." ”
……
On the playground, other first-year newcomers were doing physical training, Sun Sheng quietly ran to Li Can's side, and said to him with a treacherous face: "If I'm not mistaken, you G2 lost to our Normal University in the semi-finals." ”
Li Can was quite unhappy when he heard this, he became the main force of the team in the second year, and the goal was to defend the title, but it was not achieved, and in the third year, he devoted all his strength to revenge, but he was beheaded by the high school attached to the Normal University at one time. He has always been worried about this and feels very uncomfortable, so after coming to A High School, he has been thinking about trying to catch up with Li Yu and Sun Sheng from the High School Attached to Normal University. Now that Li Yu has obviously defeated him again, Sun Sheng is here to show off, which makes him very unhappy. He frowned and said, "Humph! It's only been less than a month, how can you be mistaken. ”
"Hahaha, I can see that you are very unhappy. But there are some things I want to say to you. I can feel that you are hostile to our Normal University, but now our team is called A High School, not A City Normal University High School or G2 Middle School, you don't train hard to prove that you are better than us, you train to make yourself stronger, I hope you can figure this out. ”
"Hmph, I know." Li Can replied coldly. Then he sped up and ran forward.
Sun Sheng looked at his back and sighed: "What a guy with different hearts." Why can't people think and say what I do? He reluctantly continued to train.
Tan Yong came over and took the initiative to talk to Sun Sheng: "I don't think he's a grudge-holder, he just needs time to accept your words." ”
Sun Sheng asked curiously: "Didn't the two of you have a little conflict, why are you talking to him now?" ”
"These are two different things."
"That's right." Li Jinming also said out loud. This surprised both Sun Sheng and Tan Yong. But they didn't know what that meant right.
"Don't discuss it, train now." Coach Kim shouted.
……
Ouyang Dong finished the training in the cowshed and was about to do striking training, but Coach Wu stopped him: "How do you pitch the ball, I mean why you can control the ball so well." ”
Ouyang Dong thought about it, and didn't know why, "I just looked at the gloves and then made movements, that's all." He had to simply tell the whole process of pitching.
"Just looking at the gloves," Coach Wu thought to himself, "but that's the hardest part." ”
Ouyang Dong took the bat and went to the indoor training ground. Wang Wengang happened to be here, yesterday Coach Wu said that Ouyang Dong hit well, so he changed positions with Coach Jin today, and came to the indoor training ground to see why Coach Wu said that. It just so happened that someone had just finished a round, and he pointed to the fairway and said to Ouyang Dong, "Go there and play." ”
Ouyang Dong came behind the man, ready to take his place, the other party wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm, and said to Wang Wengang: "Coach, my training menu is next a break, why don't you let me play for a while." ”
