Seeing that the catcher Yamamoto was sitting in the back row in the rest area, Sakagaki, the coach of Kai Shogai, cleared his throat, picked up the book in his hand and pretended to read. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The soldiers are impermanent, the water is impermanent, avoid the high and tend to go down, avoid the real and hit the weak...... Yamamoto, you should know these words. ”

"To be honest, today is the first time I've heard it."

"This is Sun Tzu, a sentence from Sun Tzu's Art of War, isn't Takeda, who guards guerrillas, making this movie recently?"

Coach Sakagaki is now holding the original novel "If Grandson" by Kazuya Takeda, who recently participated in the movie. Seeing that Yamamoto didn't answer, he continued.

"Do you think it's particularly risky to have six straight balls in a row now?"

"Hmm."

Yamamoto didn't know how to answer, so he had to answer.

"Sometimes it's about taking that risk, there's a saying......"

Coach Sakagaki flipped through the book in his hand and found a page that he had folded up.

"Whoever fights, wins with the right combination. When I was younger, I played with countless balls that were more adventurous than yours. ”

Coach Sakagaki was also a catcher in the post when he was younger, but he was not a professional player, and his playing career only ended in college.

"When I was a junior in my junior year, I started for the first time in the morning celebration game, and after nine innings were full of bases, and after facing the opponent's four bats and a string of speed balls, I had a slow curveball in the middle of the ......."

"As a result, the other party missed?"

Yamamoto knows that using slow fans to confuse the opponent after a fast ball is also a kind of matching strategy. If the opponent does not play well because of this, it is purely normal.

"No, it's better than not hitting the result, and the opponent played a double kill. That's why sometimes you have to trust your own judgment. Do you think Li Yuanrang of the Peace Academy can't play an inside corner? ”

"But he got the ball out in the end."

If it weren't for Takeda's super-level play, half of Lee's shot might have been a hit.

"It's not his easy way to hit it, it's still his weakness in the inside corner. The next table...... Well, it's a practice match, you use your own brain to figure out what to do. ”

He is tall, has strong shoulders, has a good memory, and likes to use his brain.

In terms of hardware, Harusuke Yamamoto has all the makings of a good catcher. Sakagaki's attitude towards this player is not so much a coach and a player, but more like a master and an apprentice.

He wants Yamamoto to grow in every practice match, especially when he has an interesting opponent like today.

At the other end of the court, in the rest area of the Peace School Park, which will be guarded. Li Yuanrang was taking off his strike gear. Captain Ichihei Fukushima appeared behind him at some point.

"When the show airs next week, pitchers all over Japan will know that you're not good at playing inside corners."

Kazuya Takeda's TV shows have a habit of editing the content of the competition, as long as Takeda makes a wonderful clip, it will definitely be cut in. The goal just now will be no exception.

"Didn't I get the ball out just now, and I almost hit a hit."

"It's barely beaten, and others can see it."

"So next time the opponent will still shoot the inside corner?"

"If it were me, I would vote."

As the pitcher who has watched Lee the most, Issei Fukushima knows Lee's strengths and weaknesses better than anyone else.

It is precisely because Li Yuanrang has a good response to the ball thrown to other areas that the weakness of the inside corner is more obvious.

Even if he can barely hit the inside corner with a short bat now, it's safer to throw the ball into the inside corner than to get knocked out of the long shot.

However, Fukushima is not very worried about the weakness of Lee Wonrang's inside corner. It's still early in the summer pre-selection, and there's still plenty of time to overcome that before then.

Compared with the above, how to solve the mobile power line of Kai in the next half of Fukushima is the real problem.

Judging from the past match record, Kai Fei seems to be a team with good hitting power. But in fact, among their main lineup, the only one that can be called a long-distance cannon is the four-stick racecourse that was struck three in the last game. If the other players don't rely on the metal bat bonus, it is actually difficult to say that they have a long playing power at all.

Most of the time, Kai wins races with speed. Every player has the ability to steal bases, and when you can't open the situation, you can always try tactics such as sneak attacks, short hits, and safe strikes.

In the second half of the second inning, Yamaguchi, who was the fifth baseman, relied on the infield to hit the base.

And Yamamoto, the catcher of the next bat, still put on a posture of wanting to hit and sacrifice.

Fukushima's vaunted possession came in handy at this point. Two straight balls with tricky angles in a row avoided Yamamoto's bat and entered the catcher's glove.

After the third ball, Yamamoto had to revert to his normal striking stance. Eventually hit an outside corner slider into an infield boccia. He ran to first base, and the previous batter, Yamasan, was blocked out before second base.

The next seven and eight bats also failed to get off base.

For the Peace School, the second half of the second game was passed smoothly without losing points. The only problem is that pitcher Fukushima has already used more than thirty goals in the first two innings.

Based on past experience, when Fukushima throws 80 or 90 balls, his pitching posture will start to get out of shape. While ball speed will not be affected, the possession on which it depends will gradually decrease.

What's more, Fukushima is now the only pitcher in the team. Nor can he let his elbows be over-consumed ahead of the summer qualifiers.

In preparation for another game of the weekend, first baseman Masaoka has actually started practicing throwing with his left hand.

But both Catcher Yabe and Captain Fukushima feel that Masaoka's current strength is not enough to face an opponent of Kai's level.

In today's game, Fukushima will try to finish it alone. Then the next pattern of the ball has to change.

"Let's start practicing the infield guard from the next round."

In the rest area after the exchange of offense and defense again, catcher Akio Yabe suggested this to captain Fukushima.

"That is, throw the ball that the opponent can hit and let them play?"

Although not as reassuring as winning strikeouts in a row, it is also a common strategy in baseball games to pitch the ball to the opponent and then use the team's overall defense to get outs.

The ideal conditions for this strategy to execute are not only the team's co-ordination of the guard, but also a pitcher with excellent ball handling. Able to throw the ball into an area where it is not easy to be hit for long shots in a good ball area.

And Fukushima Issei can do this as long as his physical strength allows.

Under the ideal state, the next seven rounds will require twenty-one outs. Perhaps just throwing more than 40 balls will solve the problem, which is the ideal number of balls that Fukushima can throw at his best.

What's more, the total number of Kai players who are facing now has excellent speed. Such a team is an excellent opponent to hone their infield guarding skills.
