CHAPTER XXXIII
Weekends are a favorite day for Rong Chun, where you can sweat on the court, stay away from studying, and most importantly, practice matches will be arranged on the weekend. Although Rong Chun has been promoted to the Second Army for a while, Rong Chun has not been able to play, there are many people in the Second Army, and there are not many opportunities for Rong Chun to be a new student, and today is the day when Rong Chun makes his first appearance in the Second Army.
The opponent is not a particularly famous school, but Rong Chun is still deeply grateful, and baseball is really more interesting only in games.
The starters who came on this time were pitcher Eisumen, catcher Chris, first baseman Maezono, second baseman Kominato, third baseman Omachi, shortstop Takatsu, right fielder Zhenyuan, stalwart Matsumoto, and left fielder Aso. The predecessor as a representative to guess the boxing to decide the offensive and defensive side,Unfortunately, today's predecessor's luck seems to be a little not good.,Guess the boxing lost.,You can only defend first.,But for Qingdao,,It doesn't matter if such an opponent attacks successively.,Although it seems a little arrogant to say this.,But Qingdao has such capital.,King Qingdao doesn't just refer to a member of the army.。
Rong Chun stood on the pitcher's mound, which had not yet been trampled, and slowly took deep breaths, inhaling ...... and exhaling ....... to ease the excitement that began to be aroused by the game. It is indeed easy to shoot better when you go to the game with high emotions, but the top pitchers are not so easy to get excited, they will be more calm about the game, because emotions are easily affected, opponents, venues, cheerleading teams may have problems, so how to maintain a normal mentality is the most important.
Several groups of Rong Chun, who took a deep breath, completely calmed down, raised his hands high, and faced everyone on guard,
"I'm going to keep getting knocked out, everyone on guard, please take care of me."
The wild hands listened to Rong Chun's signature shout, and they all laughed, today's Rong Chun is still as sunny and brilliant as the weather,
"Oh~~, leave it to us."
"Let him call."
Satisfied, Rong Chun got a response, turned around and faced the direction of home plate, where was his partner, and he could finally play side by side with him.
"Ready."
After hearing the referee's instructions, Chris seniors did not hesitate to make a code, and Rong Chun, who received it, nodded,
"Bang!"
"Good shot!" The referee looked at the hitter who obviously showed evasion, and recalled the route just now, it was indeed a good ball, although it was an inside corner kick, but this way of dodging was too exaggerated.
And the beater was not as relaxed as he imagined, originally he was still angry that Qingdao sent the second army to compete, but thinking about his school results, he was relieved, but he didn't expect the starter to be a first-year, I thought it would be a chance, but I didn't expect this starting pitcher to be so special. Rong Chun didn't care about the hitter, Chris's predecessor's code rhythm was very bright, and Rong Chun naturally did not show weakness in one good ball after another.
"Two good shots!"
"Three good shots! The beater is out. ”
The first hitter returned to the rest area in disappointment, and when he passed the waiting area, the second hitter said,
"What are you doing, can't you hit such a simple ball?"
A stick said with an uncertain expression,
"No, this pitcher's posture is so weird, you can't see the point of the ball, and the pace is so fast, you can't react at all."
Although I don't understand why a batter feels like it, the pitcher's rhythm is really good, but the way you see the ball in the waiting area is not the kind that can't be hit. When he came to the strike zone, he put on a posture and wanted to see what was special about this first grade.
When Rong Chun pitched the ball, the second stick found that he thought too naturally, obviously the ball speed was only about 130 at most when he watched it from the side, but when he hit, because he couldn't see the moment the ball was shot, so when he saw the ball, it had flown out, much faster than expected, plus he threw an inside corner, I don't know why, this first-grade inside corner seemed to be smashed at him, but when he finally entered the glove, it was indeed a normal inside corner route.
If the ball is the inside corner, you can swing the bat, and you will never watch the strikeouts go down. ’
"Phew." Eijun's pitch was hit, and it was high, but not far away, and the third baseman Daimae stood still and spread his gloves to the sky and pocketed the ball.
It's a pity to go back to the second bat, but he thinks it may be caused by his late swing, so he told the third batter that although Rong Chun's posture is very special, the ball is not heavy, and if you play well, you should be able to do it, and you should swing the bat.
The three-batter who got the instructions, looked at the straight ball that flew in, and waved the stick without hesitation, at that time he was still thinking, sure enough, it was the first grade, and it was easy to find a sweeter ball, but was it really what he thought? The batter hit straight into the third baseman's glove, and their rest area let out a sound of disappointment,
"It's a pity that the third baseman is in front."
After the exchange of offense and defense, Rong Chun and Chris chatted in the rest area,
"They don't seem to notice."
"Well, your pitch is special, you can't see it in a game or two."
"Now, senior Chris, should we try it and see if they can't find it for the whole game."
Chris seniors looked at Rong Chun, who was full of mischievous thoughts, and was a little helpless, although it was best to let them not see it, but this was not the same as the goal they set yesterday, and they changed the plan temporarily, and they felt that it could be done, so Rong Chun had this confidence. However, he also wanted to see how far Rong Chun could go, so he agreed with a smile.
Seeing that Chris's predecessors had no objection, Rong Chun happily ran out of the rest area to cheer for the beaters, but his eyes looked at the other party's guards, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
At the beginning of the fourth inning, the score was already 7-0, and Qingdao began to defend again.
"Damn, Qingdao's garrison is too strong."
"There are people everywhere you hit, and there are no loopholes at all."
"I think there's something wrong with this pitcher in Qingdao."
"Huh? No, you see he's been beaten out all the time, and it's all up to the garrison to save him. ”
The batter who was refuted, although he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it, and in the end he could only blame himself for thinking too much, and the only person who saw the truth finally gave up.
On the one hand, the reason why the Qingdao side is so well guarded is the ability of the fielders themselves, but more because of the contribution of the two of them, Rong Chun is constantly beaten out, all of which are expected, and even Chris seniors also guide the beaters to play to the positions that have been arranged in advance.
So the seemingly weak Rong Chun is the biggest boss, Rong Chun's pitch count is only 31 goals after four rounds, according to Rong Chun and Chris's prediction, this game will end the game in seven rounds ahead of schedule, Rong Chun's pitch may not even be 60 balls, this is a very shocking number of pitches, but thinking of the opponent's level, Chris seniors feel that Rong Chun must be compared with the strong school, in order to know how far Rong Chun can go in this way, and the inability to play Rong Chun's pitch is not just because he didn't find the essence of Rong Chun, It's that even if you find out, you can't play well.
The opponent school, which has not been able to hit the hit, has also begun to have holes in the defense, as if it is a vicious circle, the defense is not good, and the blow is getting worse and worse. The final game was indeed seven innings that ended the game early, and the score stayed at 15-0, including a point contributed by Rong Chun, thanks to the panicked defense behind, so that Rong Chun not only hit the base short, but also sent Gao Jin back to home plate by the way.
Farewell to the opponent of the game, everyone was still chatting on the way back, and when I thought of the opponent, I finally took the hand of the predecessor and said,
"Qingdao's garrison and attack are really powerful, if you are only the second army, what kind of strength do you have to be among the members of the first army."
At the thought of the defeated opponent, everyone was sympathetic and happy, although the real heroes were the two people in front of them who were in a reflection meeting. Tanaka seniors who returned to the court were stopped by a junior girl, and in Rong Chun's gossipy eyes, Tanaka seniors rubbed Rong Chun's head fiercely, and said angrily,
"What do you think, that's my sister, Nanako Tanaka, who is a year of Qingdao like you."
Rong Chun, who realized that he wanted to go wrong, laughed a few times.
Rong Chun and the others were waiting for Tanaka's seniors to train together, watching the seniors take the condolences she made from Nanako's hands, and gently touched Nanako's head, and softly told Nanako to go home early and have a good rest. Seeing Rong Chun's envious eyes, Tanaka's seniors who sent Nanako away felt uncomfortable,
"What are you looking at me like that?"
"I just think Tanaka looks pretty fierce, but it's so gentle to my sister, it's so good, I also want to have a younger brother or sister, how does it feel to have a sister."
"It's just average, what else can it be, and I don't have two children in my family, I have a total of three younger siblings."
Inexplicably, everyone discussed the brothers and sisters in the family, and then they found out that there are quite few families with only children, and there are basically one or two brothers.
But not everyone likes their brothers, such as Zhenyuan's predecessors, he warned Rong Chun with a serious face, don't let your parents have a second child, because it's just a demon king, Zhenyuan's predecessor's home is in Tokyo, not far from Qingdao, but the reason why he still lives in school is to avoid his naughty younger brother.
"Is that so? I used to be envious of my friends' siblings and it was super lively, but now I don't feel envious at all. ”
Hearing Rong Chun say this, everyone felt that they had instilled something not very good in Rong Chun, and were ready to come back to the words,
"Because I think Qingdao is like a big family, I feel like I can find any kind of brother here, it's good, ah, if I have a new student coming in next year, will I be like my brother......
Looking at Rong Chun, who was thinking divergently, everyone who was still worried laughed, what, Bai was worried, but the big family, it's really like it, although there is a lot of friction in it, and we don't admit defeat to each other, but we do live together, and it's not bad to stumble.
"I think you have to change your personality, otherwise, even if a new student comes, you will be considered an old man, and you will never grow up."
"Hahahahaha
"What, I'm a mature man too!"
Rong Chun, who was ridiculed by everyone, left them behind in anger and went to train alone, today the opponent obviously collapsed, but he failed to hit the hit seriously, so he must strengthen this aspect.
Although Rong Chun did not exceed the number of pitches today, he was still ordered to rest by Chris's seniors, but he couldn't be idle, and he mixed into the guarded training of his predecessors as a runner, he stood on the first base bag, stared at the actions of the seniors, watched the beater wave the bat, raised his foot and rushed, and was assassinated at second base.
"Stupid, don't run when you see the action, pay attention to the position of the guard. And the start was slow, how did you get to base with a short shot at the big front at that time, such a move was completely unqualified. Na"
"Hey, what about that, Guan Senpai."
"Okay, watch my movements, I'll do it for you. First, look at the position of the second baseman and the shortstop, then confirm the catcher's movement, then slowly approach second base, toe towards second base, center of gravity forward, and finally stare at the pitcher, and see the pitching action ......"
Rong Chun watched a series of movements of Guan seniors with wide eyes, flowing smoothly, different from his own roughness, Guan seniors' start was very delicate, and the speed was extremely fast, before the start, the whole person was in a state of force, there was no extra action like an arrow, rushed straight over, and then stood firmly on the base bag.
"Senior Guan is really powerful, I want to try it too." Looking at the two people who changed the garrison training to the base-running training, everyone was helpless, but in this way, they could also exercise the garrison, so they didn't say anything, just turn a blind eye.
After several trials, Rong Chun finally succeeded in standing on second base, Ono's assassination did not stop him, he successfully reproduced the performance of the red and white race, Rong Chun excitedly waved in the direction of the first base pass, and the appearance of dancing amused many people, however, the second baseman Kominato Haruichi put his gloves on Rong Chun's shoulders and said with a smile,
"Alright, Rong Chunjun out."
Rong Chun looked at Kominato Haruchi with a confused face, and didn't understand why he was still out when he was obviously on the base, Kominato Harushi spread out his gloves, and then there was a baseball inside, and Rong Chun's foot left the base bag when he was excited before, this is the hidden ball. Rong Chun was eliminated speechlessly, and the seniors in the back disliked Rong Chun's running base, and asked him to do short hits to hone the infield guards, and then everyone saw Chris behind him to tell him the way to the ball, and then Rong Chun pointed to the scene of where to play, the first baseman, third baseman and pitcher who ran back and forth finally remembered the horror of being dominated by short hits this day.
Since then, Rong Chun has become an essential member of the short fight in the garrison training, which is gratifying and gratifying.
