indoor practice room

At night, the practice room was brightly illuminated by bright lights, and Sawamura pulled Ryoma over to ask him the secret of how to increase the speed of the ball, and quietly observed the hunting field and Sawamura's throwing and catching.

After throwing a few balls, Sawamura suddenly turned around and faced Ryoma with a serious expression.

"Xiaozhen, what do I lack as a pitcher!" Sawamura said with a face that if you don't tell me, you won't give up, and he has already prepared a completely enlightened expression, "Say, come on, tell me quickly. "

Facing the big round eyes of the young boy in front of him, Liangzhen sighed helplessly, "Eijun, I think you have your own strengths and the speed of the ball does not determine everything."

"Is it the speed of the ball? It really is the speed of the ball, the speed of the ball...the speed of the ball..."

Looking at someone who has been thinking about it, Liang Zhen and Karaichang looked at each other, unable to hold their foreheads.

"Oh hey hey, are you still practicing so late?" Kanemaru and Tojo came with their companions, "Sawamura, it's only a few days before the competition, so be careful not to get too tired."

"Kimaru, Kanamura, tell me what I'm missing as a pitcher besides ball speed."

"Is it really possible?" Jin Wan asked a little uncertainly.

"come on."

Looking at a certain idiot, with the look of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, he said without hesitation, "First of all, you are an idiot. The emotional changes are too obvious on the mound, and it goes without saying that the ball is slow."

"The ability to control the ball is actually far behind..." Tojo next to him couldn't help but interjected.

"I often rely on my aura to get away with it, and I don't know how to restrain the runners." Kanemaru wrenched his fingers and listed them one by one, "I'm so proud of myself in class..."

"Ah, ah, I understand, don't say any more, ah, ah." Sawamura covered his face in shock.

"Sorry..." The gentle boy Tojo suddenly felt very sorry.

"Actually, that person is also the one who is too proud in the class, but that guy has no room for complaints." Liang Zhen turned his head to face Jinmaru's muttering face, with a puzzled expression on his face.

What happened? "What did you just say, Kanamaru?"

"It's nothing, you heard it wrong!" Jinmaru gritted his teeth behind his back, and in a blink of an eye he regained his composure, and turned to Eijun, "Anyway, you are still far behind."

"I don't have time to get lost over such trivial things. I really want to master new weapons." Sawamura looked like crying without tears.

Now Sawamura is shooting good outside corners and inside corners. It would be even better if we add a change ball that can harass the timing of hitting the bat. It is still unknown whether handing him a changing ball will affect the pitching rhythm, in case...

Thoughts in Liang Zhen's mind turned back and forth, and before he knew it, several shadowy figures appeared at the door.

"What you lack is the changing ball." After listening for a long time, Ochiai from the corner of the wall walked in with one hand in his trouser pocket, with a relaxed expression on his face, "It's just a straight ball to decide the outcome, and there will always be a situation where the ball is critical. Ochiai looked at Miyuki who was beside him, "The change ball that can prompt the batter to swing the bat can also be better used for distribution."

"That's what I said, but Sawamura's ball is not bad now. If the rhythm of pitching is out of shape because of learning to change the ball, it will not be worth the loss." Miyuki disagrees with Ochiai's suggestion, "Less The game is only a few days away."

"Is it possible that I don't know about this? I really can't be trusted by others," Ochiai rolled up his cuffs, "Do you want me to teach you? Change ball."

Several people present have been a little dizzy by the sudden situation, the changing ball that was cramped before the game?Are you kidding me?

"Do you have a ball? Lend me." Ochiai said to Miyuki.

"Are... are you serious? The game is only two days away." Miyuki took out the baseball in the bag and handed it out.

"It's precisely because the game is approaching that the more things that can come in handy, the better."

Meiji Jingu Second Stadium

The autumn is crisp and cloudless. Today is a good day for competitions. Although Qingdao’s game is at noon, the whole team is ready to go before 10:[-] a.m., and they arrived at the stadium early. on the base side, while King Valley is on the third base side.Because it was Sunday, there were a lot of people watching the game.

"Come on! Qingdao."

"Miyuki-kun----"

"Sato-kun---"

"You must win!"

The teenagers in baseball caps and uniforms waved friendly to the strangers who cheered for them, and turned their eyes to the front, which is the road to victory.....

"Let's go, line up." Miyuki walked out of the rest area and said with a straight face, "Win this game."

The 40 baseball boys lined up neatly in two rows, and their uniforms were printed with the glory in their hearts.

"present!"

"Please advise"

"Please advise"

With the sound of the siren, the competition for the top 4 in West Tokyo kicked off.

Qingdao was lucky, he just got the first attack, and Wang Gu was practicing defensively before the game as usual.Kuramochi, who started from the first bat, had already put on his protective gear and swung his bat. Hakushu and Haruichi had already put on their gloves, and the other players were checking their gloves and bats.

"Huh? Suzuma-kun, are you going to use this today?" Haruichi pointed at the wooden bat in Suzuma's hand with some surprise.

"Well, I want to try to see if I can use it well." Liang Zhen nodded earnestly, "The supervisor also agreed, telling me to constantly break through my limits no matter in the competition or in daily practice. "

Practice is enough, it depends on whether it can be applied to the game.

"That's amazing, Master Liang!" Hey, Haruichi, what the hell is that adoring look on your face? I haven't used wooden bats since I was a child.

"In terms of power, Haruichi is even better than me," said Haruichi's slightly rounded mouth in surprise, "Haruichi's wooden bats must have been used since he was a child."

"That's why the spring market is very powerful." The cheeks of the pink-haired boy with bangs kept turning red, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth could not be restrained from rising.

"Well, Xiaozhen, don't always praise Xiaochun, but praise me more." Rong Chun pointed to his chest and said proudly, "Today I am the starter."

"Not happy at all." Jiang Gu on the bench in the rest area exuded a frightening aura again.

"Oh, Sawamura, have you warmed up yet?" Miyuki couldn't stand the idiot face of a certain idiot, and secretly said to Sawamura, "If you can't make a chang-up shot during the official game, it's useless oh."

Miyuki, who covered his mouth with his gloves, secretly laughed, "Captain! Don't say such unlucky things!" Sawamura yelled angrily.

"The players in Seido are really energetic, this one is called Sawamura, right?" an old man in the stands couldn't help but say.

"It's just too noisy. I have to yell a few times every time I play."

"I'm here to see that little brother, yes, that's the one." The man pointed his finger at the field, "That little brother is amazing."

That night, after Sawamura threw a changeup, he went on to throw an incredible 7-color changeup. Every change of grip can change the trajectory of the ball, and even Miyuki will miss it.It was not only those of us who lived with him on weekdays who were shocked, but also the Ochiai coach, who was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

With the invisible release point and the hard-to-find trajectory, even Ryoma is not sure if he can hit Sawamura's ball.

Liang Zhen was a little relieved and somewhat complicated looking at the boy who was arguing with Miyuki, is your light finally about to bloom?

Here, Kuramochi's batting seat was eliminated, Hakushu's senior was knocked out, and Haruichi, the third batter, also hit a grounder. In the first round, Wang Gu faced Qingdao three times.

"Is the last ball a straight ball?" Qian Yuan asked.

"Yeah, it looks like a spray ball." Chunshi took off his helmet and said with some uncertainty.

"Spray ball?"

"It seems that this pitcher is still hiding a variety of balls that we don't know about." Miyuki's goggles flashed a reflection, "I didn't see it at all from the video. As expected, he went to Koshien school."

"However, our trump card is enough to surprise them." Liang Zhen raised a malicious smile, "The stage for the chang-up debut is ready, Eijun."

"Humph---" Sawamura nodded firmly, exhaling two puffs of white air from his nose.

"Come on!" -by Tojo.

"I will definitely catch the ball that flies to my side." ---by Jin Wan who finally started.

"Surprise them." - Spring City.
