Chapter 114: Attempted Raids
As a pitcher, Chiba Hiroyuki has three weapons. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info urgency, drop and left throw,
Li Yuanrang is not afraid of speedballs with speeds exceeding 140 kilometers per hour, and can also track the trajectory of large curved balls. Even if you don't see much left throwing, you can gradually adapt to it with your sense of space and dynamic vision. But if you do all three things together, it's a different level of problem.
Especially now that I have only observed one of the opponents.
The first two balls Chiba's pitch content is a typical inside and outside corner plus high and low diagonal matching. On the ball type, there are straight balls and changing balls alternately.
This pattern of matching the ball is simple and straightforward, and it is not difficult for the opponent to see through. But because of the characteristics of Chiba Hiroyuki's pitching, it is still not easy for hitters to deal with.
One good and one bad. Li Yuanrang even swung an empty stick at the slow curveball.
In this situation, Masaoka on the next base began to move, and the position off the base became more and more bold.
Originally, Fuso's third shooting partner was not too wary of the runner's attempt to steal the base based on the information on the data. After a few trials, pitcher Chiba couldn't resist throwing a containment ball to first base.
Masaoka flew back to base, his chest covered in the red dirt of Jingu Stadium. Finally, I didn't get touched.
This process was repeated twice before Chiba threw the third shot at Lee Wonrang.
It's a fastball ball with a high outside corner. Li Yuan, who is also a catcher, understands the opponent's intentions with the ball. This is an echo of the previous curveball with a low outer corner.
Originally, because of the relationship between the speed difference and the drop, Li Yuanrang would be disturbed by the residual image in his brain, and he might misjudge the ball in time and space
However, teammate Masaoka pretended to steal the base, which caused the opponent to be pinned down twice. Now the rhythm of pitching is broken. The afterimage of the previous ball in Li Yuan's mind has long faded. He can now judge purely by the situation of this goal.
If this is the case, the high outer corner is Li Yuanrang's favorite area.
He swung his bat, and although he couldn't form a long hit, the baseball was still pushed between first and second base to break through the opponent's defense.
Zhenggang ran to third base, and Li Yuanrang also went to first base safely.
One out, one third base has runners. What's more, Hiroyuki Chiba has now broken the record of no hits.
Captain's fourth baseman, Kazuhei Fukushima, walked in with his bat, and according to his recent theory, once the no-hitter record is broken, opportunities will follow.
Fukushima adjusted his pace before entering the strike zone, allowing his right foot to step into the strike zone first.
"If you hit a home run now, the score will be equalized."
When Yoichi Minami and Fukushima were teammates in the stands, the other party was not as superstitious as it is now. So in this dramatic situation, the South is not shy about pointing it out.
"It's a pity that this Fukushima is also a pity, if he can speed more than 140 kilometers, the people in the department will definitely be interested in him."
Yoshikawa, a Hiroshima scout who was sitting next to him, had collected information about Fukushima before, but he did not pay attention to the top of the compilation department because of the speed of the ball.
"Pitching is just a part-time job in Fukushima, and hitting is his job."
Nanbu was teammates with Fukushima for three years, and during that time Fukushima was a reliable four-bat player.
"If that's the case, he's doing a pretty good part-time job."
On the field, although Li Yuanrang did not receive any instructions, he still wanted to provide some support to his teammates.
Masaoka's fake steal just now ruined the rhythm of the opponent's pitching. Li Yuanrang intends to do the same.
But with a weight of more than 80 kilograms, there was not a single attempt to steal a base in the previous game. I didn't even practice how to steal bases in training.
Li Yuan's action of letting him leave the base bag was completely ignored by the opponent's casting partner.
Hiroyuki Chiba threw three balls, and the number of balls became two good and one bad. Ichihei Fukushima has run out of chips to keep waiting.
At this moment, Chiba suddenly threw a diversion ball to first base.
Li Yuanrang hurried back to base.
Thankfully, he had an idea of how fast he was moving, and he didn't really get too far off base. There is no danger in this containment.
Finally deceived a containment, and Li Yuanrang was happy that he had given support to his teammates.
patted the dirt on his body, and was not frightened by the opponent's pitcher at all. Li Yuanrang left the base again and moved half a step in the direction of second base.
This time, the pitcher Chiba completely ignored his actions and threw the following shot unhurriedly.
With a swing of the club, the slow curveball was pulled up to the third base stands.
For this kind of ball, Fukushima also has a bad timing of the strike. I always couldn't wait for the end to come out early. The result is a throw-in that is too deflected to the left of the field.
Li Yuanrang continued to pretend to leave the base, and from time to time leaned in the direction of second base and pretended to steal the base.
The catcher of Fuso's third hit a first base ball pinning code. The pitcher turned his head to look at Li Yuanrang's posture and shook his head at the catcher.
He didn't bother to pay attention to Li Yuanrang's clumsy acting skills and fake stealing bases.
Li Yuanrang, who was despised by the opposing pitcher, instead became a fighting spirit, and his movements of leaning his body towards second base became more and more exaggerated.
Chiba on the pitcher's mound raised his right leg and unhurriedly unleashed the pitch as if there was no one on the base.
Li Yuanrang's body was also completely biased to the right at this time. And then...... The center of gravity is unbalanced and falls to the ground.
If he falls even 200 milliseconds earlier, he will give the opponent a free exit.
However, now that Chiba, who is a pitcher, the pitching action has been activated and cannot be interrupted.
Li Yuanrang lay on the court and watched a straight ball fly towards home plate.
Kazuhei Fukushima pulled his baton back and swung it decisively.
The metal bat made a crunching sound. The baseball flew in the direction of the outfield.
Li Yuanrang couldn't turn his head to see the flight trajectory of the baseball. He had to get up quickly.
Whether it's a hitter in the outfield or a catch by an opponent, not getting up will result in an increase in outs.
But when he stood up and looked back into the field, the baseball was gone.
The first base stand erupted in cheers.
Teammate Masaoka has returned to home plate.
By the time Li Yuanrang understood what had happened, Issei Fukushima had already come to him.
"Don't run the base and step on the base bag yet."
Fukushima said to Li Yuanrang, who was blocking his base.
"I told you that if you hit a home run, I'm going to use the home run."
"Let's go, then."
Fukushima patted Li Yuanrang on the back.
Li Yuanrang smiled and walked to second base, then stepped on third base and returned to home plate.
As an ace and four-prong, Ichihei Fukushima couldn't pitch at his best today. However, the blow will not be affected.
A home run from a three-point hit equalized the score. The two teams are back on the same page.
"Now maybe I really have a chance to choose the bridge."
Hiroshima scout Yoshikawa in the stands made such remarks after seeing Fukushima's home run.
"Oh, jump to conclusions so early?"
The former ace of the middle school of the Peace School Park beside him, Nanfang Yoichi, pretended to be surprised and asked. (To be continued.) )
