"Salute to both sides!"

"Thanks for the advice!"

Kurosawa turned his attention to the little pitcher again, and sure enough, he was already crying! I guess I felt that if I hadn’t lost so many points, I wouldn’t have lost the game or something like that!

Listening to what Miyuki was saying to the catcher on the other side, you guessed my matchup, right? Kurosawa decisively took the opportunity to come to the little cutie and said: "Mihashi, your pitching is very good! Are you interested in adding a line and making friends? Anyway, we are not in the same competition area. If you have anything, you can always come to me!"

"Eh?! Do you think I'm awesome? You want to be friends with me!!" Mihashi opened his teary eyes and looked at Kurosawa in front of him in surprise.

"Yes, I think it's great! If you have any technical or other matters, you can chat with me! You can come to Tokyo next time! I invite you to drink my special energy tea! Everyone likes it. !" Kurosawa said with a smile, and everyone in Qingdao couldn't help but shudder.

"Yeah, Kurosawa-san!" Kurosawa-san is a good person! He said I was good at pitching and wanted to make friends with me!

"Goodbye then! Mihashi, come and play next time!" Kurosawa ignored Miyuki who kept looking at him, and hurriedly led others to gather.

"Hey, Minami, you are really more interested in the pitcher! But you didn't talk more to the guy who hit you a home run. I'm surprised!"

"I don't know when we will meet next time!" Kurosawa explained helplessly as he looked at the curious look on his face. After all, he had no memory of this person in his previous life!

"Eh?! That's right! But you really don't mind that home run?!"

"No way! I've known for a long time that the pitcher's ball can't be hit. Am I such an immature pitcher?!" Kurosawa couldn't help but gritted his teeth.

The foursome, Tanba, Kawakami, Sawamura, and Furitani, who were eavesdropping on the conversation between the two and were suddenly seriously injured: "Immature pitchers..." were petrified on the spot.

"As expected, you still mind!"

"I do not mind!"

"You are really angry!"

"I didn't!"

Okay! Now everyone knows you are angry! But it’s very tolerable! It's really good. He adjusted his mood quickly after being hit a home run. It seems that he won't have to worry about himself blowing up on the pitcher's mound. Several third-year seniors looked at each other and smiled.

But a few people quickly stopped paying attention. After all, this is a matter for the next session! We seniors can't be of much help! After the Qingdao people finished their victory singing activities, they followed Takashima Rei back to the hotel.

Kurosawa calmly went back and took a shower and had a meal. During this period, he chatted with everyone normally. By the way, he also joked about the double pitcher and said: "Now you know the gap between yourself and the opponent's pitcher! Look at that. Ball speed, as long as you control the ball well, you can deal with the batter, so don't always rely on your own brute force to suppress the opponent! It's very tiring!" It seemed that he was not the one who was affected at that time.

After waiting for no one around to notice him, Kurosawa quietly went back to the room and fell directly on the bed. He couldn't help but pull the quilt and curled up in it. Only then did he think about sorting out his emotions. Are you so obviously concerned about home runs? !

Kurosawa, who thought he was leaving secretly, never expected that he would be discovered by the two second-years who were closer to him and several other keen third-years.

Kuramochi worriedly said: "Is that guy really okay?! He seems to be normal, isn't he just reacting now? Is his nerve so thick?! He won't leave a shadow, right?! He is very important! The combat power! Why don’t you, a catcher, care about it?!”

"Well! Let's go later! He probably doesn't want to see anyone right now! I'll go later. His mind should be very messed up right now. Let him sort it out first!" Miyuki said that the guy in Nanye is so similar to him, so Jiduren himself definitely needs a quiet environment and some space of his own now!

"Okay, it's up to you, just don't mess around!" Kuramochi turned around and went to fight with Sawamura.

Several other seniors were obviously also concerned about this matter. After hearing Miyuki's words, they withdrew their erect ears and stopped paying attention. They turned around and continued to do their own things. Of course, many people did not notice it from beginning to end. of.

For example, the two natural first-year two-pitch players still admire Kurosawa-senpai's ability. He was hit with a home run and was not affected at all, and he quickly resolved the game.

Miyuki looked at the actions of several seniors and understood clearly, Nanye, you have really become an indispensable presence in the team now, you must recover quickly! Everyone is worried about you!

Kurosawa, who was seen through on the other side, continued to hide under the quilt unconsciously and started brainstorming. His thoughts slowly began to drift out of control, and he was wandering around while trying to sort out his thousands of thoughts.

Really, there is that pitcher who would like to score directly when his ball is hit! It was still in the last game. As long as I wavered, those desperate people would immediately catch the flaw! You may be overturned immediately, but if you hesitate, you will lose!

Fortunately, I have experienced that kind of scene a lot, and I already have an instinctive reaction to my mentality, emotions, etc., which is to directly selectively forget. However, there is a small side effect of doing this. After the game, you will experience a double emotional rebound and be depressed for a period of time. Of course, that was before. Now I can basically control it, and I will only be slightly depressed for a while.

But this is the emotion a normal pitcher should have! This also means that I still react to losing points, and I have not become the kind of person who has no feeling at all about winning or losing! If a pitcher doesn't feel any emotion when he is hit by a home run, doesn't it mean that the pitcher has no desire to fight at all? There is no motivation to make progress at all!

After all, allowing runs is a pitcher's bottom line. As long as I don't lose any runs, I can still feel calm, but it's really uncomfortable to only score directly! It makes people crazy! The expression on Kurosawa's face gradually became ferocious, and then relaxed again.

Well! But that’s how exciting baseball games are! It reminds me of why I chose to be a pitcher in the first place! After all, he had a family background and his first choice for baseball was to be a catcher, until he went to watch his father's game.

It was a gorgeous pitching battle that was perfectly presented in front of me. At that time, I realized that it was the pitcher who was really responsible for the offense in a baseball fielding game! It’s really a very handsome and unique location!

At that time, I watched excitedly as the pitchers on both sides continued to compete with the opposing batters one by one, and my heartbeat became faster and faster as the number of outs increased one by one.

The catchers on both sides also refuse to give in to each other to help their pitchers deal with the opposing batters. The presence of the catcher can better guide the pitcher. If the catcher wants the ball and the pitcher gives it to the ball, everything will be fine if both parties agree. On the contrary, only one side will dominate. Both the pitcher and the catcher will become machines in the opponent's hands.

Even so, the catcher usually accommodates himself, because the pitcher is responsible for offensive pitching, not the catcher, and the catcher cannot control the ball in the pitcher's hand. The game ended unexpectedly. At that time, I couldn't understand the reason. I only knew that on the last pitch, I saw the pitcher's ball completely deviate from the catcher's intended position, and the pitcher failed at his own peril. .

The moment I saw this scene, my heart was in confusion. For a moment, my desire to be the one who took the initiative was overwhelming. I wanted to be the one who took the initiative in pitching and catching. I would throw the ball where the catcher wanted. Only by positioning and capturing what the two players have in mind can the game be won.

After telling my family about my idea of ​​becoming a pitcher, my parents didn't quite understand why I suddenly changed my mind and wanted to be a pitcher, but they were very supportive of me.

As a catcher, my father directly measured his body data that day and created a training menu suitable for him. Later, my father was afraid that he would have too many ideas at a young age, so he would instill the catcher's ideas into his mind.

Throwing the ball accurately to the position the catcher wants is the basic skill of the pitcher. Later, he began to develop his own weapons and create his own pitching system. Through constant duels with hitters, you can experience the joy of pitching and evolve your own weapons under their attacks.

Now that I think about it, there really is no more competent parent than this! After all, this idea of ​​matching the ball has helped me a lot! After all, when I started playing baseball, I didn’t meet a good catcher directly. After a period of severe beatings in which I kept losing runs after throwing the ball into the catcher’s glove, my teammates around me were saying that there was something wrong with my pitching. back,

Confused, I subconsciously began to pay attention to the catcher's distribution, and then I realized that not everyone is suitable to be a catcher, and not every catcher is suitable for me.

The self that is obedient and no longer improves will be eliminated, will become a pitching machine for the catcher, and will simply be thrown away when it cannot keep up with the team.

Before I find a catcher who agrees with my ideas, I want to control the distribution of the ball more strongly. If my distribution ability is stronger and better, and I can deal with hitters, then you should listen to me.

Even though my physical strength and energy will be doubled, I have been walking on the road of evolution. However, there is still an upper limit to relying on one person's brain to operate. I encountered obstacles on the road of evolution, and my strength once again stagnated. It was my father’s persuasion that made me choose to go out and have a look.

Now that I think about it, my father should have noticed my problem at that time! Maybe you think I have entered into a misunderstanding of thinking and gone to extremes! But sometimes the catcher just won't tell you directly, and you, as a pitcher, need to find the problem yourself and develop independent thinking skills and so on!

Until I happened to see Miyuki Kazuya's baseball game, and that man's matchmaking made me moved. Unfortunately, neither of them had entered the major leagues at that time, and they didn't have a chance to get to know each other. Although I was very moved at the time, I didn't have any feelings. The only way is to treat it as a gift given to you by fate!

He also determined that he wanted to find a catcher who matched him to grow with him, and then he set his sights on the major leagues. The more advanced the platform resources, the better! I can always find my favorite catcher.

The sudden sound of the door opening disrupted his complicated thoughts, allowing his soul immersed in his memories to return to his body.
