Chapter 6: Versailles, Ray! (2nd Update)
"How many variations do you have?"
This is a question that Boom Thunder wanted to ask a long time ago.
Li Lei will only expose his hole cards when he needs to.
Even before the game, he will practice with the team's catchers as if he were sharpening his gun.
Fortunately, Li Lei's pitching is accurate, and his ball speed is not particularly fast.
Otherwise, it will take a lot of time for the catchers to get used to his pitching.
In the course of the game, there is also the possibility of accidents.
Although this method has been carried out smoothly before, the superintendent of the bombardment still believes that there are too many uncontrollable factors.
If they really want to knock out the big teams.
In this way, it definitely won't work.
So he desperately wanted to know, how many hole cards did Li Lei hide?
Only after knowing this, he had a choice between Sanada and Li Lei.
Who will be the real ace of the team?
In the past, this problem did not need to be tangled up.
Although Li Lei's identity is prominent, it is difficult to hide.
But the final decision of the superintendent to hide Sanada and let Li Lei stand on the pitcher's hill has already explained his choice.
He wants Sanada Toshihei to be the team's real trump card and their team's last hole card.
Sanada's pitching is quite outstanding, and even from the perspective of Boom Raizo, he can't find any problems.
The only fly in the ointment is Sanada's physical strength.
But as Li Lei's performance on the pitcher's mound became better and better, not to mention the rest of the baseball team of Pharmacist High School, even the superintendent of Thunder was shaken.
Li Lei's performance on the court can be said to be very, very eye-catching.
Such a pitcher is not a trump card, it is simply a tyrannical thing.
Now the players of the team also trust Li Lei more and more, and they have even regarded Li Lei as the team's last support.
In this case, of course, Lei Zang also wants to know, what does Li Lei himself think about this issue?
And is he really qualified to be relied on by the Pharmacist High School baseball team?
In the face of the question of the superintendent of the bombardment, Li Lei did not give a rash answer.
He gave a solemn look at his supervisor, and finally told the truth.
"There are more than a dozen, and I haven't counted them specifically."
Is this human speech?
Bang Lei Zang stared at Li Lei in disbelief, and he even suspected that it was his own ears that had a problem.
"How can there be more than a dozen?"
"There are many variation balls, spiral balls, slide balls, curved balls, stretch balls, finger fork balls, speed balls, and even butterfly balls, bullet balls, and ......"
Li Lei said casually.
"When I read these balls in the book, I had the urge to try them. So far, I have been able to shoot all the balls except for the butterfly ball. Of course, just because you can throw it doesn't mean that this kind of ball can be used in actual combat. ”
Li Lei looked very distressed.
Obviously, some of the change balls he said have not yet been honed and matured in Li Lei's opinion.
Is this human?
Did he speak human language?
Boom Lei Zang has an impulse, he wants to break Li Lei's head and see what is in this guy's head?
"I admit that I have some talent, but I don't know how talented I am?"
When Li Lei can use the change ball as he wants, Li Lei clearly knows that he is different from other players.
However, I rummaged through the baseball materials.
Li Lei has never seen a player like him in the world.
There are also pitchers who have mastered a lot of variations, but those pitchers have mastered them one by one through hard study and practice.
Li Lei has never seen someone like himself, who can easily learn all the changing balls.
Someone else wants to learn a variation of the ball, especially the one that can be used in the game.
It will take about half a year or even a year.
As for the high level, it is similar to the butterfly ball.
It may take longer for players to get to grips.
Even if you have excellent talent, it will take two or three months to master a change ball.
How long did it take for Li Lei?
Some are simple, such as a speed ball, a fork ball, and the like.
It probably only took him a few days to get the feel up to him and he could use it in the game.
Some of the more difficult slides, curveballs.
He was only about half a month old, and he was proficient.
And in the process of mastering these change balls, Li Lei did not devote himself wholeheartedly.
He mastered it in his spare time in addition to normal practice.
"This talent, so-so! Compared to my time, there is still a bit of a gap. ”
Boom Thunder Zang smiled awkwardly.
Li Lei is too arrogant, this is not good.
As the supervisor of the team, he has the responsibility and obligation to help his disciples adjust their mentality.
"I also felt like I probably didn't have the talent to be a professional at all."
Li Lei's words were sincere.
Despite his ease of mastering all kinds of variations, his pitching weakness is just as prominent.
It's just that the ball isn't fast enough and not powerful enough.
Against opponents of the level like the Chengkong High School baseball team, Li Lei can rely on a specific change of the ball to turn them around.
But you can't meet the really top players.
Those guys are like a high wall, blocking in front of Li Lei.
Even if Li Lei used all his skills, they could still accurately find Li Lei's pitch and hit the ball out.
Li Lei once attended a baseball summer camp and was fortunate enough to meet a minor league player.
The beater taught Li Lei a solid lesson.
The reason why Li Lei gave up baseball in the first place was in addition to the contradiction with the supervisor.
Largely because he felt that even if he continued, it would be difficult for him to really stand at the top of the pyramid in this industry.
"Huh! Since you know how to change the ball so much, why not practice with Watanabe? ”
This is the most curious question of Thunder Hide.
He originally thought that as the supervisor of the team, no matter how many hole cards Li Lei had hidden before, it would be impossible for him to escape his eyes.
But later, Li Lei can always come up with an endless stream of change balls.
"No! Remembering more than a dozen codes for changing the ball at once, and also having to cooperate on the court, the catcher's brain will be messed up. ”
At this point, even Li Lei's partner in China can't.
Not to mention, Watanabe, who is worse than Li Lei's domestic partner, is not a star and a half.
If Li Lei really practiced more than a dozen variations with him, Watanabe would miss 100% on the court.
"I see. That's why before each game, you will train with Watanabe intensively, and you have to use a change ball. Right? ”
"That's right!"
