Chapter 453 Another Nishikawa and the Big Pitcher?
Porcello's hair shook again and again, and the balls got into the strike zone one by one sharply. He was not afraid to confront the batter at all!He also has the confidence to control every ball.

And Shen Qin, who was watching the game behind, was also very surprised. He practiced with Salvador every day, and he was very clear about his distribution.

In his opinion, Salvador is actually a very smart catcher. His way of distributing the ball is very suitable for pitchers who are not at a high level or cannot find their status in the game. He can use all kinds of bad balls to confuse the batter.

To put it bluntly, he especially likes to give pitchers bad balls.

But today's game is completely different from him in the past. Shen Qin just calculated that among the 9 balls used just now, there are 3 speedballs, 2 shifters, 3 sliders and 1 shifter, and 9 balls They are all in the strike zone, which is already unbelievable.

It is absolutely impossible for Shen Qin to play the ball by himself. Such a situation is absolutely impossible. Why?

Is it a special confidence in Porcello?

But it should be very refreshing to catch the ball from such a pitcher, right?Powerful!Angled!There are beautiful spins!I really want to pick it up!

boom!
3 strikes!

Get out!

A muffled sound ended the first half of the first round!

Shen Qin followed behind Xi Chuan with a stick, and then they all surrounded the waiting area to be greased. He was the second bat today, and Xi Chuan was the pioneer. The fans were a little disappointed that he was not on the starting list.

"Why don't you speak, Xichuan?"

Xichuan was a little amused: "What do you mean by applying oil?"

"You didn't let me pull your shoulders for you!"

Shoulder pulling is a small movement that the two will do to each other. It is intended to relax the shoulders. They will go through the process before each blow, but they have not practiced together recently.

Xi Chuan got up and took the weight off the stick and threw it aside: "Then you do it."

Shen Qin happily went over and pressed Xi Chuan's arm to relax him: "My skills in this area are absolutely top-notch, even better than those little doctors."

Xi Chuan laughed, there was nothing wrong with doing what he had done for two lifetimes, so he jokingly asked, "Why not a big doctor instead of a small doctor?"

"Because I don't think about being a doctor now, is my shoulder hot?"

"It's hot, let me help you."

Nishikawa's skills have been practiced for a long time, and he has decades of experience if he really has to start from scratch.

Shen Qin turned his head and asked: "Shall I make you big noodles when I go back after the game? I made a big pot of noodles." Speaking of this, I felt a little embarrassed: "I already ate it secretly, The taste is not bad, do you still remember the one you secretly took me out to eat when I was young? It was so expensive back then!"

Xi Chuan suddenly let go of his hand, seeing a dark scene~
"Why don't you pull it?" Shen Qin looked at the person behind him with his eyes closed and hurriedly turned around: "What's uncomfortable?"

The man slowly opened his eyes, with a teasing look on his face: "Tsk~"

"Nishikawa?"

"Huh?" The man's voice was soft, and he stared at Shen Qin with the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger.

Shen Qin subconsciously took a step back, and when he realized it, he felt that he was a little too much, but at this moment Xi Chuan's eyes reminded him of the time when the two faced each other for the first time in Japan, it was a little scary!

"That's right, are you okay?"

"It's okay! I'm playing." Xi Chuan picked up the stick and walked towards the home plate. On the way, he hit his left leg with the stick and cursed in a low voice: "Idiot! Stupid X!"

Shen Qin was a little dazed when he picked up his stick. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Xichuan was extremely aggressive now. He hadn't seen this feeling in Xichuan for a long time. He had always been so gentle~

After Nishikawa stood in the batter's box, he held up the bat and stretched greatly, then raised it straight and pointed it at the pitcher. He was in a terrible mood now and needed to vent.

Coach, who was in the bullpen, pulled on the net, and excitedly greeted Uesugi Hideya: "Look, look! Hahaha~ I laughed so hard, if it's not at home right now, this guy will be booed to death right?"

The bullpen is open, and there are auditoriums outside the guardrails on the left and right sides, so Hideo Uesugi stepped out of the bench a little bit embarrassedly, and just stood and poked his head: "Nishikawa is very powerful!"

This is his only opinion of Xi Chuan, that is, he is really amazing, everything is amazing!
"Don't set the flag! Wait until you get a strikeout!"

"No, he said that he can keep the strikeout number around 60 with five or six hundred bats."

"Do you believe it? He has always been arrogant and exaggerated!"

Uesugi Hideo also nodded with certainty: "No! I believe it!"

Coach blinked, the child must have been fooled a lot, and when he turned his head to the fence of the cowshed, his mood suddenly became ugly again!I was supposed to be the starter, but now I'm trapped in this small bullpen!

At this time, Michael, the protagonist who was provoked on the mound, was not unhappy. He and Xi Chuan played against each other the year before last. At that time, he seemed to be still at UCLA, right?This man has very strong striking skills, but this move is quite interesting!
If you kill it~ it will be more interesting!
He stretched his arms and got up and pulled down his belt to the catcher. When he saw the catcher nodding, he stepped out...

Michael has always raised his legs low, and the pitching process is very small, a typical steal pitcher. Unlike Porcello, he likes bad balls. Wouldn't it be more interesting to use bad balls to trick hitters into swinging?

Xi Chuan didn't want to wait for a single ball, and swung the stick while the pink bubbles hung down~
No need for high elevation angles or swinging a big stick!All he wants is a hit!

clatter! ! !
There was a harsh cracking sound from the bat, but the ball nimbly passed through the second player. Xi Chuan safely stood on first base, leaving only the broken bat in place.

"Beautiful!" The first base coach and Xi Chuan bumped their fists and gave the base-running tactic: "If Qin hits, you have to implement the base-stealing tactic and concentrate on it."

"Yeah." Xi Chuan responded and began to pull the glove with his mouth. It felt a little disgusting to use his hands to get greasy stuff on it.He raised his head and blew an invincible bubble towards Shen Qin who had just stood on the strike zone.

Shen Qin's eyes widened in surprise, and the first base coach obviously couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and patted him: "Live broadcast!"

The latter shrugged his shoulders, but took the bubbles away, bent down and left the base slightly, and stared motionlessly at the center line of the infield in front of him. Since his lower half was Shen Qin, he basically didn't have to think about the problem of swinging. Now, even if it's not stealing bases, he thinks hitting and running is a good choice.

Well, the no-one-out tactic is kind of stupid.

The two naturally drooped and locked on the pitcher firmly. That's right, the secret signal for this pair of shots did not come from the catcher!
Instead, the maker of the center is the pitcher Michael!
