Chapter 7: The Three Ways to Throw the Finger Fork
"What?"
Mishima's eyes widened in surprise.
Isn't it just a hit?
How can there be a throw-in?
"If it's a game, then the position where the ball just went out is really off the sideline."
Akiba also gave an affirmative answer.
"Little Akiba, although that guy in Thunder City, often does some nasty things. But inside and outside, we still have to distinguish clearly. How can you help outsiders speak at this time? ”
Mishima pursed his lips.
He felt like he was being betrayed by Thunder Mine and Akiba.
Akiba ignored his little friend, and even the smile on his face was put away, and he began to solemnly look at the boy on the pitcher's mound.
When Thunder City had just hit the ball out, they were so excited that they overlooked a crucial issue.
That's Thunder City!
He swung twice in a row, but he didn't even get the ball into the field.
There was even a time when he didn't even touch the ball.
"Listen to that person just now, they should be from the mainland! It's not that the people there like table tennis, badminton. Not a fan of baseball? ”
Bang Lei Zang and several of his disciples invariably had questions in their hearts.
Where did this teenager come from?
Li Lei, who was pitching, ignored his opponent's interest.
At this time, his heart was full of fighting spirit.
The first goal is won, and the second goal is also won.
Although the other party's swing was something he had never seen before.
Li Lei still feels that he has hope and can solve the other party openly.
Although such an opportunity may be fleeting......
But he thinks he can handle it.
Li Lei raised his right hand to throw the ball high, and then threw the ball with all his might.
"Whew!"
Baseball roared.
Akiba and Mishima, who were watching, invariably widened their pupils.
If they're not mistaken, the opponent's pitching speed seems to have increased.
Although the increase is not large, it is indeed a little faster.
Standing on the strike zone, Thunder City looked at the baseball in front of him who was raiding, and almost without any hesitation, he swung the bat in his hand.
"Boom!"
"Ping!"
With a cracking sound, the bat slammed into the baseball, sending it far away.
Coincidentally, this time, baseball was once again off the boundary.
"Out of bounds!"
The number of balls is still two good and zero bad.
The thunder city in the strike zone stared at Li Lei with wide eyes, as if staring at his own class enemy.
"Come again, come again!"
His eyes were very pure, pure like a pool of clear water.
His thoughts, without being able to say anything, were already revealed in his eyes......
Thunder City will never forget Li Lei's finger fork ball.
But Li Lei doesn't seem to intend to use a finger fork to deal with Thunder City.
He scored the third ball with a pure straight ball.
When it came to the 4th ball, Li Lei even threw a bad ball.
He tried to lure Thunder City into swinging his bat.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
Mishima and Akiba didn't take Li Lei to heart at first.
But after watching Li Lei throw a few balls, the two disciples of Bang Lei Zang invariably felt that their scalps were numb.
If it was they who stood in the position of Thunder City.
It is estimated that at this time, they have been eliminated from the competition.
The pitcher named Li Lei, although the pitching speed is not fast, the pitching power is average.
But his pitching, very cunning.
It's a very tough pitcher.
After two good shots, he didn't use the bad ball directly, but threw a straight ball in the corner.
Seeing that kind of ball in the corner, the hitter may think it is a bad ball and do not shoot at all.
So that the other party can cheat a strikeout out.
After being knocked out by Thunder City, the opponent did not panic, but came in the opposite direction with a bad ball that deviated from the good ball belt.
Ordinary beaters, in the face of such a cunning and difficult pitcher, are estimated to have surrendered a long time ago.
That is, Thunder City, in the face of the other party's various strategies, has always been indifferent.
A straight ball from the corner, he hit it out of bounds.
The bad ball in the corner, Thunder City clutched the bat in his hand tightly and was unmoved.
Because of his performance, it was almost equivalent to kicking the ball back to Li Lei.
Next, it's up to Li Lei to do it?
Li Lei, who was pitching, still had a changed face after throwing 4 balls in a row.
When he gave the thunder hide a code, he used the code of the finger fork ball very decisively.
Still throwing a finger cross?
Boom Lei Zang looked at Li Lei in surprise.
The finger fork ball that Li Lei threw before had obviously been seen through by Thunder City.
Continuing to use the finger fork at this time is undoubtedly a very risky act.
Boom Thunder Zang was a little puzzled.
Li Lei, who played the code, had an extremely resolute attitude.
Now that Li Lei has already decided, of course Lei Zang will not raise objections.
He crouched down and adjusted the position of his gloves.
However, it was at this time that Bang Lei Zang saw Li Lei's hand and pressed it down.
The gloves are a little lower!
Seeing this kind of thunder hiding in the code, he looked at Li Lei who threw the ball in surprise.
Are you sure?
Li Lei nodded with great certainty.
Next, he is going to show his real skills.
For the average person, there are only two ways to throw a finger fork.
They are a quick finger ball with two fingers spread apart, and a regular finger ball with two fingers on both sides of the ball.
Fast finger fork ball has a low drop but a fast ball speed.
Fast refers to the ball speed of a fork ball, which is very close to the ball speed of a straight ball.
Ordinary knuckle will not work.
Although the drop is greater, the ball speed is also the level of the change ball, and it is impossible to reach the level of a straight ball.
Li Lei has already used these two kinds of finger fork balls before.
Next is his self-created third type of knuckle that combines the best of both.
The range of his fingers is half a finger larger than that of a quick finger fork, but it is narrower than a regular finger fork ball.
"The third kind of finger fork ball, finger fork ball plus!"
Li Lei silently read it in his heart, and he gave himself the name of the fork ball.
Then I saw Li Lei raise his leg high, and then drop his foot heavily......
As the center of gravity of his body shifted, Li Lei pressed all the strength of his body on the two fingers of the pitch.
"Whew!"
The baseball in his hand whistled out.
Boom Thunder, who was about to catch the ball, saw the baseball flying in, and his eyes showed a little surprise.
I see!
From this young man named Li Lei, he saw the shadow of his youth.
They're all so self-righteous......
However, if you can invent this kind of ball, it is not difficult to see that the other party really put a lot of effort into it.
Just when Thunder Hide thought so in his heart.
In front of him, there was suddenly a black shadow, followed by a piercing sound of breaking the air.
"Boom!"
Facing the third kind of finger fork ball thrown by Li Lei, Bang Lei City did not hesitate to swing the bat in his hand.
"Ping!"
The baseball hit by him landed on the side of Li Lei's body and smashed directly into the soil of the shallows.
When the baseball bounced back, a hemispherical crater appeared on the ground.
