36. Serious business, trivial matters
"It's really troublesome to catch this kind of ball, but you can really catch it so well." Zhang Sheng got up to pick up the ball and said to Li Yu by the way.
"It's okay." Li Yu replied.
Because Ouyang Dong got the back number and is likely to play, Zhang Sheng, as a catcher, needs to adapt to his pitching in advance. On the first day of training after the announcement of the list, this training plan was carried out in the cowshed.
This kid might be much better than me in the future. - Zhang Sheng.
"Have you practiced the quick finger fork ball in the past two days?"
"I've been practicing, the current situation is not very good, I often throw straight balls, and the ball is not very well controlled, and I still need time to find my feel."
"So you won't need this kind of ball in the first game." Zhang Sheng's tone was slightly sad.
"Is this kid going to play for the weekend?" Li Yu was a little surprised.
"It's not that it's not impossible, it depends on the situation, and the opponent is not weak. I don't know if there really is a chance. "Zhang Sheng didn't affirm that Ouyang Dong would definitely be able to play, nor did he say that he must not be able to." One more goal! He threw the ball back to Ouyang Dong.
Ouyang Dong easily caught it with his gloves.
β¦β¦
"Yo, Li Zhe, let's go to the stadium." Coach Kim came to the indoor training ground and found Li Zhe, who was practicing his blows.
"Eh, where are you going at this time?" Li Zhe was a little surprised.
"I've adjusted the training plan a little, and the next step is the garrison strike training."
β¦β¦
βNiceοΌ The seniors passed on beautifully. Ye Zhuofan shouted to Cheng Qi. The latter had just made a coherent defensive move to deal with a short shot, and the ball in the game would not at least allow the first base to run to second base.
"You will take a good look at Cheng Qi's garrison next, this is also what you will learn next." Zhang Sheng brought Cheng Qi to the main venue. Ouyang Dong can only pitch now, he doesn't know anything about guarding, this has been fully reflected in the previous game, all the short fights are handled by Li Yu, the coaching staff found out about this, and plans to solve this problem immediately, so they deliberately changed the training arrangement, and let Ouyang Dong observe in the last half hour. Cheng Qi has a lot of experience, so let him demonstrate, which can have a good training effect.
β¦β¦
Canteen.
"How is it, how does it feel to actually watch the garrison for so long." Li Yu asked.
"I feel like the senior's movements are quite handsome." Ouyang Dong replied.
"The baseball moves are pretty handsome." Sun Sheng said.
Ouyang Dong smiled.
"Sometimes it's easier for pitchers to handle the ball than for fielders, so pitchers need to be guarded as well. In the previous games, if you could have guarded, we wouldn't have dropped four points. Li Yu said solemnly.
Ouyang Dong lowered his head and remained silent.
"But it's not a big problem, you're just getting started with baseball, it's good to be able to do it like this, there's still time for these problems, so let's learn it step by step."
"Yes."
β¦β¦
In the evening, Ouyang Dong practiced as usual.
"Ouyang, come here." Zhang Sheng and Li Zhe stand in front of the whiteboard.
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Dong walked over.
"Teach you something about guarding."
"That's great."
β¦β¦
In the morning exercise the next day, Ouyang Dong was already able to handle some simple balls simply.
Everyone had breakfast and went to their respective classrooms.
Ouyang Dong and Li Jinming walked together, and as soon as they entered the classroom, the two of them were surrounded.
"Ouyang, I heard that you got the back number in the baseball club, is it true?" There are only two people in class C who are members of the baseball club, so they didn't know the news when they were in class yesterday, and they didn't hear the news from their classmates in other classes until their respective club activities, so they were excited and came to the classroom early in the morning to wait, in order to confirm the news as soon as possible.
Li Jinming calmly moved his position, and Ouyang Dong did not have such a good treatment. He had to twist his head around and say, "It's true." β
Soon he regretted saying it. But he can't lie, no.
β¦β¦
"Don't be a nymphomaniac, Sun Sheng."
"Cut, I want you to take care of it."
"Xiaoya won't like you, let's die of this heart. Although Xiaoya likes baseball, she will definitely not like you, but the two handsome guys who got the back number hope to be bigger. It was Lin Wei who said this, Wen Renya's best friend, but she was assigned to a group with Sun Sheng.
"Those two are not as handsome as me." Sun Sheng smacked his lips and said.
"Really? Xiaoya said that the catcher doesn't know much, but the pitcher is not bad. β
"How do she know?"
"Didn't you play a game on the 31st, she just happened to go and see it."
Sun Sheng was particularly surprised: "How could she see it?" β
"I won't tell you."
"I'll get it sooner or later, anyway."
"Huh."
β¦β¦
"You've got big mouths, and now the whole grade knows about it." At dinner in the evening, Ouyang Dong complained. He had a very unstable day today, and every time after class, people from other classes came to see him, just like watching monkeys in a zoo.
"After all, this is the first time in history, and it's normal for everyone to be excited." Sun Sheng did not accept this accusation.
"What first time?" Ouyang Dong was confused.
"At this time, I got the back number, generally the second grade can get it is very good, they are basically the core of the team when they reach the third grade, although there are people who got the back number in the first grade, but that is also the playoff stage, like we can get it when we come up, it is the first time." Li Yu explained.
"Soga." Ouyang Dong said a sentence in Japanese, and everyone could understand it.
"You remember the last time I told you about the beautiful girl in my class." Sun Sheng took the initiative to change the topic.
"You can't take it anyway." Li Yu is open every day.
Sun Sheng glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "I didn't plan to fall in love in high school. Then he switched back to the mode of the hippie smiley face: "But Ouyang may have a chance." β
Ouyang Dong, who was eating, almost choked to death when he heard this sudden words. "What the hell?"
"She said the pitcher was pretty handsome that day."
"Did she say that?" Tan Yong said he was surprised. Sun Sheng had been with him almost all day, and he didn't find out when Wen Renya had said this to Sun Sheng. "Why didn't I hear that?"
Sun Sheng glanced at Tan Yong and reluctantly explained, "Lin Wei told me." β
"Who is Lin Wei?"
Li Can was also confused by Sun Sheng. Last time, it was clearly said that it was called Wen Renya, why did you change your name?
"That elegant girlfriend is in the same group as me, where are your brains?" Sun Sheng said with disdain, "In short, Ouyang has a chance, come on." He winked as he spoke.
Sun Sheng always makes people feel a little cheap, and he doesn't make people hate him, but treats him as a friend.
