"Two first-graders? Are you sure? ”

"I knew you didn't believe me, so I brought the roster, you see." In the office of another high school in City A, two people are discussing. One of them handed the list of contestants issued by the organizing committee to the other, who carefully flipped through it.

"Li Yu, Ouyang Dong. It's really a first-year student. ”

"I didn't lie to you."

"Li Yu is understandable, Ouyang Dong?" He fell into deep thought, "I originally thought that the two people you were talking about were Li Yu and Sun Sheng, where did this Ouyang Dong come from?" Have you heard of it? ”

"Nope."

"It's weird, what kind of trick is School A playing?" He stroked his beard.

……

One week is enough time for Ouyang Dong to get to know his classmates and teachers, and he also knows his teammates on the baseball team. Eating was no longer a problem for the first-year freshmen, and some of them joined the team for evening training. And the seniors have long been accustomed to this kind of life, although the intensity of training every day is very high, but no one regrets it, because this is the path of their dreams that they have chosen. Some people may regret their decision when they train, but if they are asked to choose again, I believe they will still not change their decision.

Everything went on in such an orderly manner, the moonlight fell on Saturday, and the eighteen people who got the back number did not leave the cafeteria after dinner, and then they had a pre-war preparation meeting.

"School C, it's our old rivals, like us, they have also won the championship, they are also a strong team in the city, although it was not easy in the semi-finals last year, but we finally beat them with difficulty, tomorrow's game I believe they must be full of strength to fight back, but we can't lose this person at home. Now let's talk about tomorrow's tactics. Wang Wen just got up.

Coach Jin continued: "We have already obtained and analyzed the list of players issued by the organizing committee, and the ACE of school B this year is Chu Zeyu, an old opponent, and you all know each other. "It's not for nothing that Coach Jin said this, Chu Zeyu was the main force of the team when he was in the second grade, although he was only No. 10, but he often relayed a long number of rounds, his strength was very strong, and he had the strength of ACE, so it was natural for him to get No. 1 in the third grade. Last year, they suffered a big loss against School C.

But seeing the two first-year newcomers leaking out of their bewildered expressions, Coach Kim remembered the two of them, so he specially explained: "He is an orthodox right pitcher, the ball speed is in the second half of 130, the slider is very sharp, and the card ball is also good to throw." ”

"We suffered a lot at his hands last year." Ding Lei said resentfully.

"Ah, yes." Zhang Sheng echoed.

An opponent who even these seniors have a headache for. - Li Yu and Ouyang Dong thought of going together.

"Next, the main catcher should be Qin Tianyi. He has no record of appearances and this year is his first time in the squad, so we don't have details about him. In addition, another catcher is called Zheng Sheng, and it is not surprising that he should be squatting in the cowshed, and there is also no information. Coach Kim continued.

"The first baseman is also a person everyone is familiar with, Ming Hai, he played the sixth baseman last year, and his long-distance ability needs to be paid attention to." When Coach Kim was making a report, he cleverly paused a little between everyone so that everyone had some time to digest.

"The Chinese and foreign fielder Luo Weikun, his ability is still very good, last year School B often sent him to play on his behalf when he played the line in the lower position, his speed is very fast, the accuracy of the strike is also good, and the ability to play long is slightly weak."

"Second baseman Xue Ke and shortstop Bai He, judging from the video of the open training, the defense of these two men is quite good, and it should not be a wise choice to storm the second game. Relatively speaking, Zhao Qingfeng at third base is much weaker, and he often misses when he passes to first base, so it can be inferred that his arm strength is not very good, which is good news for us. ”

……

"On top of that, the outfielders have a lot of arm strength, and everyone has the ability to go straight back to home plate, which is a little bit of a concern, and the infielders are very solid in their defense, with very few turnovers and very few half-and-half outs. To sum up, we think this team is still a strike-oriented team this year, and of course, the pitchers should not be underestimated. ”

After Coach Jin's explanation, everyone basically knew what to expect. Some people are already familiar with each other even when they are in junior high school, after all, those who stand out are those who are often reported to work, and everyone is not very strange to each other.

"In tomorrow's game, let's bite the straight ball and try not to eat his changing ball. Luo Weikun's point must be blocked, if he goes to base, the impact on our defense will be huge. Tomorrow the opponent will be strong, but we will not be vegetarians. We're going to play our own style. The specific tactics will depend on the situation tomorrow, so let's relax and rest and prepare for tomorrow's game. Pitchers and catchers stay for a while, and the others disband. ”

In the cafeteria, there were only 7 people left. They formed a circle.

"In tomorrow's game, I want Cheng Qi to start the game." Wang Wengang said his own arrangement. There is no objection in everyone's hearts, after all, it is ACE.

"But everyone knows that Cheng Qi's problem is still a big problem, and this must be solved in future training, do you know?" Wang Wengang turned to Cheng Qi and asked.

Cheng Qi nodded.

"So, tomorrow Wang Chuan will be ready from the fourth game."

Wang Chuan also nodded.

"Li Long also has to be ready, he may let you play at any time."

"Understood." Li Long replied calmly.

"Also, how are Ouyang Dong and you practicing?" This sentence was asked to Zhang Sheng.

"It's a bit short of a time and I still get the ball out of my glove a lot, but I don't let it roll behind me. Quick finger fork ball has always been practicing with Li Yu. Zhang Sheng replied.

"Oh? How effective that is. ”

"When I first started practicing, the success rate was less than 30%, and most of them would turn into very good straight balls, and it would take time to find the feel." Li Yu replied.

"That means the quick thumb ball can't be used in games, right?" Wang Wengang was not in an inquiring tone. Zhang Sheng and he have the same idea.

"Not necessarily." Li Yu's reply was unexpected.

"Why not, tell me about it?" Wang Wengang was curious. Even Ouyang Dong himself wanted to know the reason.
