Diamond Ace: Qingdao King

Chapter 189 Chapter 127
"Don't be nervous, relax, don't hold back, watch carefully." Chris patted Sawamura's chest with his gloves with a smile: "Standing on the mound, when you have the ball in your hand, you just need to look at me. If the ball is not in your hands, you only need to look at the ball, where is the ball, where to look, and you should make up for it, and you don’t need to worry about other things. I have been practicing making up for it recently, no problem.”

Sawamura's face was sullen, his eyes widened, but he nodded quickly: "Good master!!"

Turning around and waving again: "Everyone!! I will vote well! I will be counting on everyone behind!"

"Got it, got it! Don't worry!"

Kazuto Kuramochi grumbled, then leaned closer to Chen Xin and whispered: "When the opponent's starting pitcher warmed up before, he just jumped around a few times and barely warmed up. Is this normal?"

He thought of asking Chen Xin about these things that he found inexplicable. After all, this person is usually narcissistic and profligate, but he knows a lot.

Chen Xin glanced at the troll's rest area in surprise: "How long have you been warming up?"

"It didn't take long, just five or six minutes?" Cangchi said inexplicably, "And that's not called warming up at all, it's just being dragged away by their teammates forcibly, isn't it strange? Have you ever seen something like this?" ?"

"Hmm~ It's true that the interface is pitch black." Chen Xin rubbed her bare chin, feeling a little strange.

Even if he is not a pitcher, after playing for so many years, he is still clear about the warm-up of a pitcher.

Each pitcher has different warm-up habits due to individual differences.

Some need a long warm-up time, some need a super long pass, and some need props to assist...

Of course, there are also ultra-short warm-up times.

Generally speaking, starting pitchers will need a longer warm-up time, and bullpens in the bullpen usually warm up faster, and some super fast five or six minutes are normal, but no matter what, they definitely need to warm up .However, he was not sure how far the so-called no warm-up that Kuramochi saw was going on, after all, some pitchers warmed up quickly~
As for not warming up at all~ "Shouldn't be possible? Unless...he's going to warm up on the mound later?"

"Aha?" Kuramo was a little dumbfounded: "Warming up on the mound and that warming up don't mean the same thing?"

"Yeah, I mean, he's warming up to our hitters on the mound?"

"..." Cang Zhi clicked his tongue: "Is this possible?"

"I don't know, I can only guess like this, I'll talk about it later." Chen Xin was also curious~
From the time he traveled to the present, the children he came into contact with were much more talented, but they were generally in line with the reality. Now that something inexplicable suddenly appeared, how could he not be curious?
oh!Could it be that the kid threw the ball casually regardless of his own health?
His eyes fell on the supervisor of the big troll: Could it be that this little old man who looks kind is actually a devil?Other supervision is unscientific oppression at best, and the pitchers are struggling to hold on, flying up with the number of balls~
But this supervision... Is everything unscientific?Don't care about warming up?
Thinking of this and shaking my head, this is obviously impossible, and everything in the video of the previous game is normal.

That can only be the personal reason of this pitcher~
……

However, as the batter entered the field and the game began, Chen Xin could only stop chattering with Cang Mochi and take their positions.

Today's pitcher is Sawamura, and their infield workload is huge, so they need to pay special attention.

~
And Sawamura himself seemed rather nervous. After all, he was in Koshien, so he started first! !However, because the squatting partner was Senior Chris, this made his tense nerves relax again~
Almost all of his practice and growth along the way has Chris participating, and they are the most familiar with each other, so it will naturally be easier to partner.

"call!!"

Sawamura took a deep breath and looked at Chris!
With the ball in hand, just look at Senior Chris!
With the ball in hand, just look at Senior Chris! !

Thinking about it this way, the whole person becomes more relaxed~
Wait for senior Chris to serve the ball!
~
The troll's big stick, center fielder Ajiu, stood on the strike zone.

Chris glanced at the batter, and it was normal for a midline player to hit a bat.

With his height and long legs, coupled with his performance in previous games, this is undoubtedly a hitter with both long hitting ability and foot length.

It was also for this reason that they felt it was a pity at the time.It would be great to have a quick leg to be the trailblazer in a line, but it turned out to be a very strong stick~
Are you willing to put it first?
Generally speaking, it can only mean that there is no room for this hitter behind-their lineup is very strong.

Hit hard~ Chris looked at Sawamura: Their rookie pitchers do not have many kinds of balls, but they can be used as high-speed 'pseudo' fingertip balls, and they have good ball control recently.

He patted his glove and indicated the base position: No problem, Sawamura!
Sawamura nodded his head, the outer corner was low!
Just look at Senior Chris!Look nowhere else!

Free feet raised high, shoulders open...

The hitter stared at the mound, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still stunned when the ball suddenly came out~
Invisible drop spots!
It is completely impossible to make an accurate judgment, and it is even more impossible to get stuck and swing now.

I can only watch the ball go into the outer corner at a low angle.

"boom!"

The outside corner is low and precise into Chris' glove.

nice shot!

Ajiu swung the bat lightly and adaptively, readjusted, and then looked at the pitcher on the mound again: the super-back, completely blocked release point for right-handed hitters, which is better than others. The recorded ball speed seems to be faster, but there are many troublesome points.

Sure enough, the pitchers who can be selected into the roster will not be useless.What's more, a team like Qingdao that can kill Kaitang has a very strong overall strength.

But it’s also a bit strange. The pitcher’s eyes were wide and he didn’t look at himself at all~
Keeping an eye on the catcher?

Well, there's no runner on base right now, and that's normal.

Next, adjust the timing of the stick, and it should be fine.

~
Another one! !

This ball went directly to the inner corner!And because of the sudden jump out, the assailant subconsciously flashed, always feeling a little close...

Of course, the stick didn't go out either.

"boom!"

nice shot!

Sawamura took the lead with two strikes.

The beater paused: This diagonal...?
Most of their previous judgments about Seidou were that their ace Tanba Koichiro, or the fast-ball rookie Akira Furutani, would most likely be the starting starter for today's game, but it turned out to be Sawamura Eijun.

There is only one boarding record in Koshien...

But this ball control~ is much more difficult to deal with than imagined.

But it's just a surprise. After all, they are big trolls and what they lack most is a pitcher with good ball control.

Besides, leaving aside the fact that they are newcomers to Hongo, they are the first ball-handlers at the real amateur level, as long as they are Tokuji?
It's not that they are bragging, it's that the opponent's 'Battle Record' is so awesome.

When they were still playing basketball and sweating naively with the students, Tokuji had already been playing the 'game' of pitching and duel with those 'social people' every day.

There are stationed soldiers, there are former professional baseball players...

Although they usually don't dare to go to that place, so they have only heard of it so far.

But just looking at Tokuji's usual abilities is enough for them to believe it!
Can Seido's pitchers handle the transition?
Isn't it just corners and corners!

Just keep up!
The only strange thing is that the Qingdao catcher is famous for 'stealing' strikes, and the referees have been very strict in catching them recently, but what happened to these two outside corners today?

Although it is also in the range of whether to pick or not to pick, but in the last match between Qingdao and Kaidou, the referee did not pick up any balls like this.

strangeness……

Almost subconsciously, he glanced at the chief judge...

Little did he know that it was just this one look, and the chief judge gave him a somewhat aggressive look: "What are you doing?"

"!!" So cruel?
Ajiu hurriedly said, "Nothing."

What a joke, he didn't intend to provoke the chief judge at all!

He just took a look~
But it was such a subconscious move of his, but the direct task of the chief judge was that the other party was provoking his authority!
There have been too many things like this recently, and the group of chief judges all thought it was just a catcher's trick, but the chief judge of this match didn't think so.

Compared with their inexplicable behavior, he believed more in his ability and level of judging for so many years.

He understands that Jiaziyuan just likes to come up with some sensational and hyped things along the way. In what year is there not a few genius scripts?
The only thing that surprised him was probably that this year's script fell on the catcher for some reason.

Although it is not uncommon for catchers to be fired in the past, most of them bound the catcher and pitcher together as a shooting friendship. It is rare to pull out the catcher alone for speculation like this year.

But no matter what others do, he will not cooperate with these anyway, and he will be sentenced as he pleases, and he will not be biased against anyone around him.

Everything follows the rules!
~
Chris threw the ball to Sawamura, with a smile on his face behind the mask: I was lucky today, and the chief judge I met obviously didn't come to stare at them.

It seems that what Chen Xin said before the game is very reasonable. It is actually the most unnecessary to consider the referee. Not to mention the differences between each referee, even if it is the same referee, the strikes in each game have The time difference is also quite large.

He patted his gloves, very satisfied that Sawamura's attention was on his side.

Newcomers themselves are easily influenced by the surrounding environment, especially Sawamura. In this case, it is obviously the best choice to let the other party's attention focus on themselves.

Come!
Another high ball from the inside corner, leaning inward to the position of the ball.

Sawamura nodded~
The ball was shot and went to the inside corner...

A little low!

In this situation where the number of balls is behind, and the ball is a bit sweet, the hitter naturally cannot let it go, and the timing of the stick is also stuck!
"state!!"

Pitcher strikes head-on! !
Sawamura has such a soft body, he can't react to catch it, but there is no problem at all if he leans back to avoid it, but this is also a subconscious reaction. The moment he avoids it, Sawamura wants to jump up!
Ah ah ah ah ah!He should have caught the ball!
I don’t know if it’s because Chris’s nagging before the game is too deep in the hearts of the people, even at this time Sawamura has not forgotten~
The ball is not in hand, where the ball is, just pay attention!

He had already sat down on the mound, but his eyes immediately followed the ball.

"clatter!"

Chen Xin leaned over to catch the ball and passed it to first base~
"boom!"

Out!

"One out!"

"One out!"

Sawamura got up, and replied humbly: "Please everyone!"

The eyes brushed back to Chris, it can be said that he is very well-behaved.

Chris: "..."

Also couldn't help laughing: You don't need to be so focused, it's not too late to wait for the beater to come up?

Sawamura doesn't care about anything, just obediently follow the instructions of the master!Concentrate! Concentrate! !

One after another! !

One, two, three sticks, three up and three down!
Also scored a strikeout.

"Hoo!!"

Sawamura himself roared excitedly on the mound!

I voted super smoothly today!
super cool ok? !

I feel like I’m great!

"Snapped!"

Chen Xin ran over and patted him with a glove: "Good shot."

"Ha!" Cang Chi also patted him: "Beautiful shot!"

The happiness of Sawamura's whole person has been sublimated!

Be, be praised! !
Rush towards Chris with your cat's eyes open!There is still a boast!
Chris was also amused by him. He took off his mask and said with a smile, "Nice shot."

"Wow!!" Sawamura was even happier!The master also praised him!

Yo West Yo West! !Continue to deal with the batter later! !

He wants to finish the shot! ! ! ! !

The condition is super good today! !
~ "Huh?"

"Watakuji! Ready."

The trolls were able to deal with the three hitters smoothly, but they just complained about the release point and ball control of Qingdao's pitchers, and quickly entered the next stage-defense.

It's their turn.

Du Jiuji was still leaning there, and stood up slowly when he was called, his long and narrow eyes were half closed, looking a little sleepy.

After buttoning the baseball cap, he stretched his arms and walked to the field: "Let's go."

"Senior East Asia." Lian Si quickly ran a few steps to the side of Tokuji: "Is it still the same as before?"

Senior Tokuchi is different from other pitching partners. When partnering with him, he is willing to give up the initiative.

"Yeah." Dujiu pulled down the brim of his hat, knowing that he was asking about the ball matching.

Speaking of which, he found this junior as a catcher very interesting.

Notoriously good-tempered, but able to suppress the outbursts like Hongo~
He actually doesn't like communicating with others. After all, for him, playing with his brain is a natural thing, but if he wants to explain it to others in detail... it will be very troublesome.Fortunately, Renji is smart enough to not only cooperate with him, but also act as an explanation machine. He is really a great junior.

Think about it and say, "Same as before."

Lian Si pushed down his glasses with a smile: "Okay, Senior East Asia."

Then he added: "Senior, please warm up first. Although it is not necessary for seniors, it is always good for the shoulders to warm up a little."

Tokuji: "..."

The younger generation is fine with everything, but this is more troublesome.
