Chapter 235: Luck Psychology
Li Yuanrang worked hard to free himself from the temptation of cheating. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
With the pitching of Yabe, who has improved through the winter training, and the stable performance of his teammates in the field. Even if he only relies on Li Yuan to make his own ball, he can try to maintain that he is not scored by the opponent.
It wasn't until the first half of the seventh inning that Jana, the four-batter attached to the Sentake Academy, finally hit the rolling ball that crossed between first and second bases.
Hiroo, the third baseman at the fifth baseman, successfully hit the shot.
Once again, the situation became one out and there were people on second base.
This time, it was the sixth baseman Shibakusa.
Shibasa put on a posture to strike.
And Li Yuanrang worked hard to reason about the opponent's strategy.
Shibacao is a player with speed. Now in this situation, it makes perfect sense to push a teammate forward with a short hit.
But in fact, compared to the second out, the runner is on third base. Now, in a situation where a runner is out on second base, it may be easier to score with a straight swing.
Li Yuanrang felt that the other party should be fake and real.
It stands to reason that most college-level competitions are nowhere near that complicated. There's no need to fight each other like this.
It's just that Superintendent Yoshida, who is attached to Sentake Gakusha, not only has a desire to control his students. And I especially like to add my own drama during the game.
In front, Li Yuanrang peeked at the opponent's few games. Inspector Yoshida's instructions are sometimes really superfluous.
Although it may not be counterproductive. But it really didn't help our side to win.
Li Yuanrang asked for an inside corner high ball. The kind that is higher than the upper edge of the good ball area.
Li Yuan made the position of this ball match too obvious. The batter took the bat back. This became a bad ball.
On the surface, it seems that this is the player's ball selection eye that plays a role. But Li Yuanrang used his spare eyes to observe the actions of the hitter from the moment he shot the baseball.
Shibakusa's closing was done before Yabe's ball was shot.
In other words, it was exactly what I expected. At first, Shibacao was only going to swing the stick in a regular stance instead of striking it.
But what's next?
Li Yuanrang couldn't help but peek at the other party's rest area.
The beater, Zhicao, still maintains this striking posture.
Li Yuanrang guessed that the other party would still swing the stick this time.
He had a low ball from the outside corner.
But unexpectedly, Shibasa did strike.
The baseball moves slowly along the sideline on the side of first base. Runners on second base have started to go to third base.
Masaoka, the first baseman at the Peace Academy, rushed forward and was about to pick up the ball.
"Wait a minute!"
Li Yuanrang shouted. Masaoka stopped bending over.
The inner field of Jingu Court 2 is an artificial turf. Compared to the sandy field that is common in general college competitions. The infield of artificial turf has less rolling resistance to baseball.
Li Yuanrang predicted by the speed and angle of the baseball's rolling and determined that the ball must be a throw-in.
The result is that there is no danger.
The baseball rolls off the sideline very close to first base.
Li Yuanrang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the pitcher who just let Masaoka pick up the baseball and pass it to the pitcher who made up the first base.
Now it's the case, at least the runners haven't been able to keep going.
And the number of balls, now it's one good and one bad.
The situation on the field has become very delicate.
Li Yuanrang is a little conflicted now.
If the infielder is allowed to move forward to attack on alert, once the opponent swings the baton to form a rolling ball, the probability of the infield's defense line being broken down will be greatly increased.
But if you don't do this, with the short fight kung fu of the beater, not only will the probability of success be extremely high. There is also a lot of possibility to directly point out the infield hit on the base safely.
"Otherwise, let's go and see the other party's code?"
The thought flashed through Li Yuanrang's mind.
Before he even had time to do any ideological struggle, his eyes had already turned away in anger.
Fortunately, the instructions from the other party's supervision have been sent. Li Yuanrang still has to rely on himself.
Shibashi still holds the bat horizontally.
Li Yuanrang made up his mind and issued a code signal to strike the alert.
However, the matching ball is still a low ball with a long warning.
It's a compromise, and it's working out decently.
Yabe's low ball from the inside corner happens to be a very awkward angle for the hitter to point.
It's rare for him to be so sharp with his usual straight balls. This goal was a bit of a fluke.
Shibacao still didn't put away the bat and swung it, but chose to strike. It's just that he was obviously hesitant to order.
The ball goes out of bounds directly in front of the hitter.
Now it's a situation where two good and one bad are completely favorable defensively.
Li Yuanrang could have relied entirely on his own ball matching theory to solve the hitter.
But he unconsciously peeked at the other party's rest area again.
This is completely unnecessary.
This time, the code made by the other party's supervisor was not too complicated. A simple and straightforward "sacrifice fight" is just that.
Zhicao didn't change the stance of her attack.
The tactic of continuing to hit after two good shots after one out is not so reasonable, but it is not uncommon in ordinary games.
What's more, the "cheating" method was also used just now. Li Yuanrang was relieved to boldly match a high ball to destroy the opponent's tactics.
A curveball that falls from high to low should land in the outer corner according to the expected target. It is easy for the average hitter to point this kind of ball into the air.
Even if you don't get killed at the first time, the probability of flying out of bounds directly is extremely high.
But everything was not as Li Yuanrang wanted.
Somewhat unexpectedly, or unexpectedly, Shibaba put away the bat.
Akio Yabe's high, slow curveball became a live target for the thick-armed hitter.
The baseball is accurately drawn as it falls. Fly straight and quickly towards the left field.
Fly over the guardrail at a height slightly above the home run wall.
Two to one, the Thousand Bamboo School was attached to the reversal of the score.
Li Yuanrang stood in place and silently watched the opponent step on the base.
In the rest area attached to the Sentake School. Overseer Yoshida frowned and grimaced.
It was clear that the hitter of the above ball, Shibasa, had disobeyed his orders.
The teammates were reluctant to come up and high-five Shiba, who had just hit a home run.
Zhicao stepped on the base bag and came to the overseer. Take off your helmet and bow.
At this time, Inspector Yoshida burst out laughing unexpectedly.
"It's a good job on the spot!"
The overseer's palm was clapped on the shoulder. The force is a little too strong.
"But next time I'll have to carry out my orders."
"Yes!"
On the court, Kogi, the eighth batter catcher who was out of the wind, swung an empty stick at the bad ball that could no longer be noticed. Strikeouts out.
Peace School finally solved the last hitter in this half-game.。
Li Yuanrang returned to the rest area. Without untying his protective gear, the blow in the second half of the seventh inning may not have been his turn.
Li Yuanrang sat in the position furthest away from the Yagi superintendent.
"As a result, you can't help but peek."
Superintendent Yagi quietly moved over at some point. Li Yuanrang, who covered his face with a towel and pretended to be pensive, was startled.
