Chapter 91 Normative Exercises

Japanese junior high school is a frequent visitor to Jiaziyuan, and it is also a veteran team.

And a team that can be called a frequent visitor and is an old brand must have some unique training methods of its own. Although on the one hand, Shen Qin thinks that Paul will not talk nonsense, and judging by the training intensity of Kominato and the others in college, high school should not Too low.But on the other hand, Japan has a mature professional baseball system. Doesn't anyone know how to practice properly?This is obviously unrealistic, so I also want to see with my own eyes, is it true or false, or why?
"You used to go to games like this? I used to be so good that I was never assigned to accompany the team!" Shen Qin looked at the back of the player's bus and there was a car with some boxes, and a special person was in charge of carrying them: "Look at Waseda this way." I made the subway myself, isn’t it a bit shabby in comparison?”

"We look at the distance of the game. It's normal to fly around in high school. And now it's a holiday...University is different from high school?"

"Of course it's different." Li Ziyi who didn't know when she also came downstairs smiled and explained to the two of them: "These kids are preparing for the Spring Competition ~ that is, Spring Jiaziyuan."

"And this kind?"

"Of course, despite the small size of Japan, there are actually a lot of competitions every year, oh~ there will also be some overseas competitions of different age groups."

The Japanese junior high school lived in another building, and Shen Qin suspected that the boss of this dormitory would be able to go to heaven with his earnings.The holiday business seems to be very stable every year.

The boy who was only walking in the front glanced at the lively people who were talking about here, but he took off his hat, waved it, and shouted something before he was surrounded by his teammates and entered the building again.

Both Shen and Qin couldn't understand Japanese, but Li Ziyi was a ready-made translator: "It is said that we met again~ Have you met?"

Have you seen it?Shen Qin and Kou Chi looked at each other, neither of them had any impression!And as far as they are running with Chen Silu recently, where have they seen children?
……

It wasn't until the afternoon when there was a red-white competition that Shen Qin suddenly realized: "It's him! I can't even recognize him without a hat!"

Coach still didn't recognize him: "Who?"

"On the day when I was catching Hideya Uesugi...he hit base~"

When Shen Qin said Kou Chi, he came to his senses: "The one you killed on second base?"

"Ha~" This describes Shen Qin's liking, and that first baseman was also called Ichigoji, as Uesugi Hideo said later.It's just that I didn't expect him to be a third-year junior high school student.

"I think being a catcher is a very pleasant thing, but it is very troublesome to meet a hitter like Ichigoji. There is no such thing as ball distribution. He just plays with his sixth sense. It is useless to him. This It's very unfulfilling to get the catcher back."

Coach stroked his chin and smiled: "I heard that almost all the hard hitters in the major leagues are of this type!"

"That's generally just for home runs!"

Shen Qin asked Yuri about this question very early, and Yuri said that he didn't know what others thought. According to his judgment, playing by feeling is an inherent advantage, but this advantage cannot exist forever and is easy to use.

For such hitters, the more they play, the more confident they become in themselves, and this kind of behavior can easily lead to a result!Swing!Swing a stick!Like to swing a big stick!

It's easy to hit a home run if you hit it right!But in the same way, this overly aggressive strike pattern can easily lead to a very high strikeout rate!And such a batter's propulsion ability is not high.

It can't be said that it's not good, after all, who doesn't want the ability to clear a base with a stick, but many times it needs to be sacrificed. You can't expect every game to be a strike battle!

After all, in baseball, under the same conditions, a good pitcher still has absolute suppression.How to advance in a low-scoring game!How to force points!They all require tactics and skills, not just relying on feelings to suppress!

"Baseball is a complex sport that requires a combination of IQ and physical strength~ so you have to join the minor leagues~ I have to reform you!" Shen Qin smiled and laughed, only looking around in the field: "It seems that few of them are with me. Who was the same person during the game that day? Oh~ The coach was the referee that day~ The catcher was changed~ Neither team was from that day.”

Although it was just a red and white match in the team, the players on the field did not relax because of this, but were very serious. At least in Coach's view, many movements should be practiced carefully!Injury is not worth the candle.

Injuries can't happen often, it will cause inertia!So there will be old wounds repeating this saying!
"They can be regarded as representatives of the combat power of Japanese high schools, and the overall strength of Japanese juniors is very strong." As the captain, Sano Ryota had very little training during the recovery period from injuries, so he had a world of idleness. In addition, he has some interest in Shen and Qin, and seeing the people who have been circling their training suddenly watch the high school students' competition, they also go to join in the fun.

It's just that Kou Chi responded casually, looking at the time and talking about Shen Qin, don't look, it's time for training!After these few days of basic warm-up, they will start formal practice.

Seeing that Mrs. Liang was still following, Kou Chi suddenly turned his eyes and said enthusiastically, "Why don't you come to help?"

It is still unknown what position the two will play in high school. It is impossible to give up just because they don't like the defensive position!Starting first is the foundation of everything. Only when you start first will you get more performance opportunities. Wait until you shine!If you want to change your defensive position, others will patiently listen to your reasons.

The official practice of the two was also formulated by Yuri through reducing the amount after consulting the team doctor and coach according to the training of the major and minor leagues.

Not overdone, but not lighthearted either.Only compared to those extremely strong-willed children in Japan, Shen Qin still felt like a sinner!
The exercises are divided into many groups: (There is nothing made up, eh~ it is realistic after all, these materials are all obtained from many years of research~)

Two-person ground ball throwing practice: As the name suggests, two people throw a slow ground ball at a short distance, catch it quickly with gloves and pass it back. This is mainly an exercise for infield defense.Because this kind of weak infield rolling often occurs in the game, and because there is not much rebound, it is necessary to consider the distance of the ball and the speed of the return when catching the ball, so as to block the runner who intends to hit the base.

Then there is the bare-handed catching of the ball by moving left and right: the distance between the two parties is farther than the previous group of exercises. One person performs a lob, throwing one to the left and one to the right. The other person has to move quickly left and right, bending over and quickly picking up the weak ball. Ground ball and throw back.This set of exercises uses a lightly slung ball, also known as a pee ball. It is normally used for infield fielding. Most of the time, the pitcher picks up the ball and passes it to first base, or the first baseman who is off base passes the ball to the first base pitcher. .

Then there is the passing practice between the bases. Because there are only two people, this practice has been modified. After catching the ball, turn around and pass back!The return pass here is very particular. You have to get used to how to pass the ball accurately by side throwing when the body is turning, or how to pass the ball quickly when the body cannot maintain balance!
However, Shen Qin thinks that the most difficult thing is to catch the ball and jump pass.It's a means of taking protective measures during the pass while still allowing the ball to pass accurately when the body is in the air.

Usually it happens on second and third base.[-]. The third baseman catches the ball and blocks the runner, and the runner must actively hit the base!And what if a teammate's pass is too high?Jump up and risk stepping on runners when you fall!Whether this will hurt yourself or the runner depends on luck!So learn to jump pass!

Whether it's a runner jumping over a sliding base or avoiding a sprain-prone base, this exercise will get you proficient.

Afterwards, Ryota came in handy for the catch-and-pass practice of the infield hitting the ground ball and the back-and-kill practice of the high throw. Chi once stepped forward to receive the pass.

It's just that Liangtai, who is never so selfless, is serious about helping the two of them today. It's not that he likes it, but it's really weird. Many of the small movements of differentiation in the exercises here are what they usually practice, and there may be some in middle and high school exercises. But those actions are even more irregular.Unlike what Shen and Qin are doing, it is more complete and detailed than their team, it seems that they are not professional!
This is strange, two young children came to Japan, and there is a strange way of practicing, no matter how you think about it, it is not right!In this way, the warm-up done by the two of them on the first day might really make sense!
So is the amount of training necessary?For the first time, Ryota Sano doubted the sweat he had shed so far, and he was really inexplicably upset!At this moment, he felt as if he could understand some of Minato Hara's feelings.
