In order to deal with the opponent's inside corner, it is now Li Yuanrang's turn to find the answer in his memory. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But I have gone through every blow I have played on the court before, and I have swung the baton in every daily training. All his memories of inside corners don't work well for the situation he's up against now.

Li Yuanrang made a decision at this time. He's going to wait. At least one goal, possibly two goals.

Before he wore the shirt for the first time, captain Kazuhei Fukushima had a suggestion for him.

It's called "A Good Ball Must Be Hit".

Regarding this sentence, Li Yuanrang has always understood that "the ball thrown into the good ball area must swing the bat".

But at this moment, he had a new understanding of these four words.

In today's Japanese baseball world, the name for good and bad balls is actually a transliteration of the English Strike and Ball.

The term "good or bad" is largely out of use.

However, words such as "good ball must be hit" from Chinese characters still exist.

If we ignore the stereotype that "good ball" equals "Strike". In fact, the word can have another meaning.

"Good ball" can also mean "a ball that is easy for you to hit".

Then the ball that you are confident to hit outside the good ball area can actually be called a good ball. A ball that you are not good at in the good ball area is not considered a good ball.

Putting aside the problem of not being good at inside corner speedballs, in fact, the number of balls is two good and one bad now, and the situation on the field is not unfavorable to Li Yuanrang.

He can let go of a few balls, either in exchange for a guarantee, or he can let the ball count force the opponent to throw a "good ball" that he can hit.

In today's practice match against a strong opponent, even if you are out, it is not a big deal. The worst result is just to wait for two goals and still have to face the opponent head-on, and bite the bullet to swing the inside corner kick that is not good at.

Kai total pitcher Nobuo Oyamada threw the third ball. Unsurprisingly, it was still a fast straight ball. And the position is the high outer corner that Li Yuanrang is not good at.

This time the pitcher had no problem with the ball, and the ball went straight to the edge of the good zone.

Standing in the strike zone, Lee Wonrang remained motionless and let the ball fall directly into the gloves of catcher Harusuke Yamamoto.

Whether it is in practice or in the game, it is the first time for Li Yuanrang to let go of the ball in the good ball area without swinging the bat.

"Don't like inside corners?"

Catcher Yamamoto's words are both tentative and provocative.

"I thought it was a bad ball."

Li Yuanrang's answer was clearly a lie.

In baseball, the catcher is the closest defensive position to an opposing player. Chatting with opponent beaters is something that a lot of catchers do.

The content of the chat is varied, but there is basically only one purpose, which is to interfere with the emotions of the hitter.

What Yamamoto said to Li Yuanrang just now was actually hoping to stimulate the other party's rebellious psychology.

This sentence also almost foretold the opponent of Yamamoto's ball.

The next ball will still be accompanied by an inside corner. The same is true for the next one.

In this play, every ball that Li Yuanrang faces next will be an inside corner speedball.

Rather than watching Li Yuanrang hold the stick and not swing it and be struck by his own side, catcher Yamamoto wants to see how bad this opponent is at swinging inside corners.

Even for a long time to come, the two teams will not have the opportunity to meet again in official competitions. Yamamoto still hopes to test his speculation and find Li Yuanrang's weaknesses.

When pitcher Koyamada was racing at full speed, he didn't control the ball very accurately.

The fourth ball was a very reluctant good ball. The fifth goal is a very obvious bad ball.

Li Yuanrang naturally didn't make a shot at these two goals.

Now it's finally time to get the ball full and have to go head-to-head with your opponent.

Li Yuanrang decided that as long as the next ball could run into a good ball belt, he would swing the bat.

As for whether you can hit the ball or not, that's another question.

Since Yamamoto said that just now, this duel has become like an open-book exam, just sniping inside corners.

Pitcher mound.

Although he has only been passively guided by the arrester Yamamoto, the pitcher Nobuo Koyamada, who is in the current situation, also has a special sense of tension.

In the next ball, Oyamada completely ignored the presence of the runner on the base and threw the ball with a solemn posture of raising his legs and arms high in front of the hitter.

According to the rules of baseball, this throwing stance, called Windup, cannot be interrupted once it starts, and it is necessary to complete the pitching action in one go.

Li Yuanrang, who has an excellent eye for the ball, immediately decided that it was a good ball.

He slightly let go of his hands the moment the opponent threw the ball, causing the bat to slide down about ten centimeters, turning into a form of holding a short bat. Then aim for your preset inside corner high ball.

Because of the shortening of the torque, the process of swinging the stick was unexpectedly smooth.

The baseball flew in the direction of the shortstops, and while not fast, the height looked like it was likely to form a hit.

In charge of guarding this area was Kazuya Takeda, a guerrilla who liked to be in the limelight.

He jumped up as he stepped back, barely catching the ball, and he lost his balance.

With the power of falling backwards, Takeda landed and made a sideways roll movement, and after standing up, he raised his gloved left hand high. Announce to the spectators and referees that you have made the kill.

There was cheers and screams from the crowd on the sidelines.

Offense and defense were exchanged, and the remnants of the first and second bases left in the Peace School could not continue to score. But Li Yuanrang had a smile on his face when he ran back to the rest area. This is a deliberately bluffing signal for the opponent to see.

The ball just now was an inside corner high ball, which was the area that Li Yuanrang was not good at. This time, although he was caught and killed, he did hit the ball.

Li Yuan let himself understand the accident of this ball in his heart. First of all, the opponent's advance prediction of the ball path, on the other hand, his own blow has also changed the pattern of staring at the last base in the past.

If you are in normal ball mode, I am afraid that the swing method of the preset target just now will not be usable.

He now hopes to use that bluff to get his opponent to give up focusing on his inside corner weakness in the next strike.

……

On the other side of the court, Kai head catcher Harusuke Yamamoto, who returned to the rest area, tried his best to avoid eye contact with coach Sakagaki.

In the last half of the game, he was against the coach when he switched shots, and he faced the willfulness of the hitter with six straight balls in the inside corner in a row. In Yamamoto's own opinion, these are all actions that will make the coach unhappy.

Yamamoto attended a baseball school in Shizuoka Prefecture when he was in junior high school. The coach of the team at that time was a very strict middle-aged man.

If you play under that coach, you will be relegated to the second team today and you don't know when you will be back in the first team.

In fact, in Kai Sum, Yamamoto's worries were completely unnecessary.

Although coach Sakagaki has gray hair and a stern face, he is actually a very enlightened person.

He actually praised Yamamoto's performance in the game just now.

In Coach Sakagaki's team building plan, Yamamoto was actually booked as the only candidate for the team's head coach for the next school year.
