Chapter 53: Genius, Never Speak of Martial Arts (Two in One)
"Sanada."
Li Lei is the ace of the pharmacist high school baseball team.
If he had a choice, Thunder Hide wouldn't let him be a catcher anyway.
After all, Li Lei is the core of the pharmacist high school baseball team.
Speaking without conscience.
Now Li Lei's role in the baseball team of Pharmacist High School is even more than that of his stupid son.
Now, however, there is no other way to think of it.
Watanabe, who was still lying on the hospital bed, was too hard to hit.
It was so heavy that the Thunder Treasure Overseer thought it was a joke played by God on their pharmacists.
They helped the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team and cleared all the obstacles.
Everyone is looking forward to their battle of the century with Daocheng Industry.
It's a dark horse team, black to the end, soaring into the sky.
is still the king of West Tokyo, saving the last face for the three giants of West Tokyo.
Who would have thought that at such a critical moment, their pharmacist high school baseball team would suddenly drop the chain?
Of course.
As far as Boom Raido's personal senses are concerned, he actually thinks that these little guys on the Yakushi High School baseball team are already very lucky.
The two opponents they met before were not idle meals.
After the fight, he understood this truth even more deeply.
The Yakushi High School baseball team has been able to advance all the way to the present, in addition to their own strength, there is nothing to say in terms of luck.
Especially the one against the Seido High School baseball team.
Even if Thunder Hide thinks about it now, he is afraid.
Boom Thunder has no doubts.
If the two teams play again, they may not necessarily be opponents.
This is the feeling of oppression brought to them by the Qingdao High School baseball team, and the terrifying pressure that makes people unable to breathe easily.
Facing such two strong enemies.
The Yakushi High School baseball team has been able to advance so far, and it is very lucky.
If you don't want to pay a little price, how is that possible?
It is precisely because he knows this very well in his heart that the superintendent of the thunder treasure has not complained from beginning to end.
He was very afraid of causing unnecessary psychological pressure to these disciples under him.
Originally, their odds weren't that great.
Boys, if you are stuck again because of psychological pressure.
Then they might as well simply raise the white flag.
This point, the superintendent of Thunder Hiding still thinks very clearly.
"It's up to you!"
Li Lei's catch, in the eyes of Bang Leizang, is simply pie in the sky.
Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart.
But it also seems to be the only viable way for them to advance.
As for the promotion to Koshien......
Then don't worry.
Watanabe has returned, and the autumn night will become more mature.
Although it may not be able to compare with the current state, it has at least eighty or ninety percent of the effect.
Relatively speaking, it is not so unacceptable.
"What's wrong, Coach?"
When Sanada Shunpei ran over, he was still sweating on his forehead.
Ever since Watanabe had an accident.
Every player on the Yakushi High School baseball team seems to be under tremendous pressure.
Especially Sanada and Mishima.
Mishima almost put pressure on his face, and it looked like the team could only rely on him.
It seems that at this time, if he Mishima doesn't stand up, the Yakushi High School baseball team will never have a tomorrow.
Comparatively speaking, Sanada Toshihei's performance is much more subtle.
He is very unsettling, and he always has a smile on his face.
While he no longer wants to share the pressure with others, he trains more than usual.
For this reason, the superintendent of Thunder Zang also reminded him.
More than enough is too much.
The consequences of practicing like he crazy are very serious.
Now that the team is missing Watanabe, if Sanada Shunhei has an accident, then they can really raise their hands and surrender in advance in the final.
On the surface, Sanada Toshihei seemed to have listened to these words.
But in reality, the whole training rhythm is still very tight.
Even Li Lei couldn't help frowning when he saw it.
Li Lei is also very active in training, and he can basically rank in the top 3 in the entire pharmacist high school baseball team.
Except for the monster in Thunder City.
He and Mishima have been fighting hard for the second place.
So far, even if there are mutual wins and losses, no one has a particularly obvious advantage.
But even Li Lei, who is so active in training, couldn't help frowning after seeing Sanada Junpei's training status.
It is not difficult to see how crazy Sanada Junhei's training during this period of time is?
"Haven't you always had problems with Akiba's cooperation?"
Speaking of this, Sanada Shunhei lowered his head in shame.
But there's no way around it.
As Watanabe's condition gets better and better, he has basically become Li Lei's regular partner.
Akiba naturally took up his own infielder, a guerrilla.
This garrison position, the responsibility is very heavy.
Coupled with the overall defensive strength of the Yakushi High School baseball team, it has not been very good.
The importance of this location is even more prominent.
To put it bluntly.
Even if he is a genius like Akiba, he must spend a great deal of time and energy to hone his skills in this position.
He can play well on the court.
It's just that in this way, the training time he leaves for the catcher is not so abundant.
For the rest of the time, Autumn Leaves could only cooperate with Li Lei as much as possible.
After all, Li Lei is the real trump card of the Yakushi High School baseball team, and his pitching is crucial.
As a secret weapon.
Sanada Shunpei and Watanabe have honed more, and there is no doubt that they will be more.
In this way, his practice with Akiba can be described as pitiful.
With less practice, how can it be better to cooperate?
By the time Sanada and Akiba realized this, they simply didn't have time to make a change.
They had to come to terms with this harsh reality.
If you can have a week to hone, maybe the cooperation between the two can be greatly improved.
But how can they have so much time now?
And Akiba not only has to practice with Sanada, but also has to practice with Li Lei.
Even if he were beaten with iron, it would not have been possible to divide him in half alone.
"You try it with Li Lei!"
"What?"
Sanada Toshihei suspected for a moment that something must have happened to his ears.
Otherwise, how could he hear such nonsense from the mouth of his own overseer?
Boom Thunder Hidden Overseer gave him an angry look.
"I'll let you try it with Li Lei to see if he can catch your ball?"
In his heart, the overseer was not sure what he wanted.
Do you want Li Lei to catch it, or can't catch it.
It's just that at this stage, they are facing the huge pressure brought to them by the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, and they really have nothing to do.
The Thunderbolt had to look for all possibilities to break the dilemma in front of him.
Li Lei's sudden appearance undoubtedly made him see a life-saving straw.
Although the buoyancy of straw is limited.
But he couldn't help but want to give it a try.
Defeated two giants of Nishitokyo in succession and reached the Nishitokyo final in one go.
And most of the players are still fighting.
Although their physical strength is a bit overdrawn, they are not completely devoid of the ability to compete.
This opportunity is so rare.
At the critical moment when Koshien was only one foot away, how could they give up?
"Yes!"
Sanada Shunhei agreed.
Then he set his eyes on Li Lei.
"Then give it a try."
Li Lei had a smile on his face.
He really didn't think that he would stand up and become the team's main catcher at this time.
After all, the trapper's skills, he hadn't practiced for several years.
And Sanada Toshihei is not an ordinary pitcher.
"Don't be too presumptuous, do you think you can catch Sanada-senpai's ball?"
Li Lei never took it.
But Mishima is different, he really squatted in the catcher position and took over Sanada's pitch.
To this day, Mishima is still very impressed.
That kind of extreme inside corner, with a sharp change.
This once made Mishima very suspicious, does he, a baseball all-rounder, really have the potential to become a pitcher?
The pressure that Sanada Toshihei brought him at that time was so terrifying.
Fortunately, Mishima finally overcame.
He thinks he just hasn't developed his most proud pitch, otherwise his pitching prowess would have gone up.
In a way, Sanada's pitch is more difficult to catch than Lee Lei's.
Li Lei's own ball control is very good, even if it is a very sharp change ball, he can roughly predict the landing point.
He can predict where to fall, and the catcher just needs to follow suit.
Watanabe was able to adapt to Li Lei's pitching so quickly, except for his efforts in recent times.
There is also a very important reason, that is, Li Lei's pitching is too genius.
So Watanabe just needs to cooperate.
"I'm coming!"
Waiting for Li Lei to put on the protective gear, Sanada Junhei greeted him.
"Come on!"
Li Lei nodded.
Mishima, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, once again opened his ability to break his thoughts.
"I bet you, this ball will definitely hit him in the face!"
Akiba glanced at her friend in disgust.
"Don't crow's mouth!"
"Who the hell are you with?"
Mishima felt betrayed.
It was at this time that Sanada Toshihei decisively threw a goal.
His own strength is not outstanding.
But the senior's pitching speed is not slow at all.
The most important reason he was able to do this was that when he pitched, he used the axis of his body to turn his whole body into a wheel.
At the same time as his body leaned forward, he was equivalent to throwing all the strength of his body into the fingers of the pitch.
So much so that the speed at which he threw the ball was very amazing.
And the power of pitching is also different.
"Whoosh!"
A white baseball whistled.
In Li Lei's eyes, he felt that the speed of this ball was not particularly fast.
So much so that he was able to accurately grasp the direction in which the baseball was flying, adjust the position of his glove, and firmly grasp the ball in his glove.
"Smack!"
When the baseball landed on the glove, it made a crisp sound.
Mishima's whole person seemed to be petrified.
"How?"
Akiba couldn't help but tease.
"What's the big deal, it's just a normal straight ball."
Mishima, who has recovered, is still a dead duck with a hard mouth.
The superintendent shook his head with emotion.
Really.
The existence of genius has never been about martial virtues.
Although Li Lei had experience as a catcher a long time ago, he could not be regarded as a beginner.
But he's also been a non-catcher for several years.
And Li Lei showed that kind of talent in pitching, and it is estimated that he never thought of going back to be a catcher.
A commander in command of thousands of troops and horses certainly has a thrill.
But for a baseball player, how can that thrill compare to that of a front-running general?
The pitcher is that spearhead.
His performance in a game will greatly determine the outcome of this team's game.
"One more change ball!"
is simply a straight ball, although it has verified Li Lei's receiving skills.
But to say that Li Lei can cooperate with Sanada Junhei now.
That's a bit premature.
Sanada's straight ball is just one of his weapons, and his most powerful weapon is the carter ball.
Only by skillfully switching between these two types of pitching can Sanada Shunpei show his pitching strength to the fullest.
He has the best pitching ability in Nishitokyo, and even in the country.
"Good!"
Sanada Shunhei happily agreed.
The sound of the glove catching the ball is very crisp, which makes Sanada think that he should be in good shape for his pitching.
Even he wanted to try and use more of the ball to shoot.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing the baseball flying, Li Lei adjusted his position to catch the ball.
However, as soon as he adjusted his baseball, something changed.
This change was so sudden that he didn't have time to react without any psychological preparation for Li Lei.
"Peng!"
The baseball smashed into the back of the glove and bounced off Lee Lei's back.
"I'll just say it, that is, I can catch a straight ball."
Mishima said excitedly.
Autumn leaves on the side didn't bother to take care of this friend who was already nervous.
"Excuse me, another goal!"
Li Lei shouted unconvinced.
Since he has a request, Sanada Shunhei will definitely meet it.
"Good!"
Then the second ball flew out.
Sanada Shunhei's pitching form looks good, and this ball is better than the previous one.
And when he pitched, he never had any intention of keeping his hand.
The time left for them is too tight, and they simply don't have a way to think about the long term.
You can only bite the bullet and meet the challenge.
The white baseball flew in front of Li Lei, and Li Lei opened his gloves with a calm face.
At the moment when the baseball changed, Li Lei's gloves also moved.
"Smack!"
The sound was not as crisp as the first ball, but Li Lei still grabbed the ball steadily into his glove.
"Good!"
When the Thunder Collector saw this scene, his eyes were red.
It was so much better than he expected.
He never thought that Li Lei's talent in catching the ball would be so strong?
If it weren't for his pitching performance, it would have been tougher.
Boom Lei Zang is going to let Li Lei be a full-time catcher.
"Good!"
Mishima looked contemplative.
"Didn't you say Raysan couldn't catch it?"
Akiba teased.
"Who said that?"
"That's you!"
"How could I possibly say such a thing? And I found out that maybe I'm better suited to be a pitcher than a catcher. ”
Li Lei's ability to catch the ball is so outstanding, isn't it his genius Mishima's pitching, which can also play a role?
