"You see, how clearly this angle is taken. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
At the dinner party after the game, Tian Gu took his mobile phone to show his teammates the pictures captured by the sports cameras set up in the stadium today.
"Look at this slow motion, the moment you hit the ball is all filmed."
"Oh."
The teammates who were immersed in eating didn't bother to turn their heads at all.
"You see, this close-up camera was adjusted by me before this game, and it turned out that I was shooting myself today......"
The game against Santa Maria School ended with a clearance hit by Tagu.
As the IT person in charge of the team, Tian Gu found the videos of the moment he hit the ball from various angles as soon as he got off the court.
"It's decided, upload it on the video site now!"
Tian Gu picked up his mobile phone and was about to operate. Captain Akio Yabe stopped him.
"Do you remember how you gathered information about your opponents?"
"Go to video sites and social networking sites...... Yes! Right! ”
In fact, Yabe didn't really care if Tagu's video would be studied by the opponent behind him, he just hoped that his teammate could calm down as soon as possible.
"Then again, why do you eat curry every time you finish the game?"
Since joining the team, this is what has troubled Tokuda the most since he didn't eat curry.
"Isn't it okay to order omelet rice?"
Tian Gu, who had just stopped showing off the video, said.
"The omelet rice is still curry fried rice......
"Because there's a meal ticket."
Yabe took out a stack of meal tickets from his bag and shook it.
In order to supplement the nutrition of the baseball club players, the baseball club OB, which runs a chain of curry shops, sends a bunch of meal coupons every month.
"Besides, what's so bad about curry. You can even eat bitter gourd, why can't you eat curry? ”
"Bitter gourd is not the same as curry, bitter gourd is delicious. Right. ”
Tokuda turned his head to look at Li Yuanrang's side, looking expectant.
"Oh...... Yes, bitter gourd is delicious. ”
Lee doesn't want to let the Okinawan-born teammate's expectations fall short.
However, he didn't plan to continue on the topic of food.
"The next game is October."
Li Yuanrang asked Yabe.
"Well, the lottery won't take place until October. But by then, the new overseer would probably have taken office. ”
The new superintendent, Tomohito Yagi, is scheduled to take up his post in October. The first thing he did when he took office was to participate in the draw for the Autumn Games.
Yabe was not actually looking forward to the arrival of a new overseer. But on the other hand, the team of the Peace Academy lacks a main pitcher. If you want to go further in the next games, it is obviously a little difficult to rely on the current player self-management.
And the pitcher lineup isn't an immediate problem.
In fact, as a material, Tokuda Qiuer's innate conditions are very good. He just lacks sound guidance right now.
Yabe once asked former captain Fukushima, who has retired, to teach Tokuda how to pitch.
This summer, the Peace Academy was able to make it all the way to Koshien thanks to Fukushima's consistent ball possession.
However, Fukushima himself felt that it was not appropriate for him to guide Tokuda.
"I'm stupid, and it's slow to work."
Ichihei Fukushima was not a pitcher in middle school, and it was only after entering high school that he began to practice pitching systematically.
And his pitching enlightenment teacher is actually just some basic textbooks bought in the bookstore.
Fukushima in the previous two years did not show such a repressive force this summer. This is because the training method in Fukushima is to strengthen one's basic skills and muscles day after day.
These elements were accumulated until the third grade, and finally came to fruition.
On the other hand, Li Yuanrang's matching mode after taking over as a catcher also played a role.
Because of his single-minded pursuit of goodness, most of the supporting reference books that Li Yuanrang bought were the works of famous professional baseball players.
The matching strategy mentioned in it actually has a premise, and he needs a pitcher with a high degree of completion to cooperate.
After three years of accumulation, Fukushima Issepei's potential as a pitcher has basically been exhausted. When partnered with Lee Wonrang, he was already a finished product in terms of pitching.
If Lee's first pitching partner had not been Fukushima, it would obviously not have been like this summer.
And if Fukushima's partner is not Li Yuanrang, the advantages of his precise ball control may not be able to be brought into full play under the guidance of the college mode of ball matching.
In any case, Fukushima's upbringing path is not suitable for Tokuda.
Tokuda has a much higher talent for pitching than Fukushima. And now is the time for the team.
Now it is impossible to give Tokuda three years to hone his basic skills.
The next game is less than a month away. How to use this time to improve combat power as soon as possible is a question that Yabe is concerned about now.
However, the schedule from the end of September to the first half of October is still advantageous for this point.
"In the second half of the month, there is Respect for the Aged Day, followed by the autumn equinox, and in early October, there is the Metropolitan People's Day......"
"So you're planning to come to school for all these holidays?"
Li Yuanrang probably guessed what Yabe meant.
In Japan, September is the second most popular month of the year after May. In addition to the two statutory rest days, sometimes one or two days off are added to make up for consecutive holidays.
In addition, in early October, Tokyo's local festival "Tomin Day" is also closed for elementary and junior high schools. Before the start of the fall season, the baseball club can have several extra days for a full day of training.
However, the atmosphere of the Peace School in the past did not require the players to practice twice on their days off.
"Anyway, the new superintendent will be more nervous than he is now. It doesn't hurt to get into the groove early. ”
This is not to say that the new overseers will be stricter than they are now. It's that the current Peace School Baseball Club is too relaxed.
Of course, people who are already diligent will not relax themselves. But not everyone is so diligent.
As far as Li Yuanrang is concerned, of course, the basic training will not be relaxed. However, on days off, I only have half a day to practice.
"If the new superintendent is said to be a pitcher?"
Li Yuanrang still remembers the messages that Kazuya Takeda, who met by chance before, told him.
"Well, the pitcher in the Koshien Final Four, he was named by three teams when he graduated from college."
"In that case, it would be nice to ask him to guide Tokuda."
"Well...... this"
Yabe lowered his voice.
"I'm just going to say it in private...... It is said that this Yagi superintendent is now a nerd who forcibly wants to promote the division of pitchers in the college football world, and the principal agreed to come to the school to teach because he agreed to this condition......"
Tomohito Yagi ended his pitching career early because he was overused in college.
Later, he became active in online media as a sports researcher. There are hundreds of thousands of followers on social networking sites.
He often used these platforms to promote some of his baseball theories.
Among them, "the division of pitchers in college baseball" is a major argument.
Before the official announcement was made, Yagi announced on his blog that he would coach a college team and put his years of theories into practice.
And most onlookers are not optimistic about this. (To be continued.) )
