The original intention of the diamond ace

In the next few rounds, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

In the second half of the fourth inning, it was the turn of the six-ball senior Qianyuan.

"Pong!" Good, third base!

"Crack!" Anything, this can be picked up and killed, Bailong's mobility has made many defensive skills a matter of course.

"Oh! Hit the wall directly!" It seems that senior Jiang Gu should be fine, that's great, now he is slowly regaining his senses, and the confidence of the summer competition will be greater.

"Ah?" What, he is... planning? !

really!He wants to hit third base!This was too reckless, and the instructor didn't even make a gesture for him to rush.

"Out!" Right!Still too reckless!

"Furuya, why are you influenced by the opponent's team! You greedy guy who runs around!" Sawamura shouted at Furuya with a blank face, "You are too confident in your speed!"

"Aso, the next game starts with you!"

Was it influenced by the opponent?But his expression... I looked at Jiang Gu, who was being supervised and educated, and he was still in a bad state. This is not going to work.Although Eijun, Kawakami-senpai, barely adding me, it is reasonable to survive the summer, but it is rare that there is such a good pitcher in the team, even if the state is not right, let alone supervision, I will let him play .

However, now is not the time for me to worry about others leisurely, so I have to improve my strength quickly.Otherwise, I might not have the chance to play in the summer qualifiers at all. Senior Jiang Gu is in a much better situation than me.

In the first half of the sixth inning, it was the batter's turn again.

Sure enough, there has been a change, the position is close to the sideline of the strike zone.Generally speaking, this position is for better hitting the outside corner, but there is also the possibility of deceiving the catcher.If you want to know their intentions, this game is worth a try.

"Pong!" Sure enough, he shot the inside corner kick.

Is the next hitter still close to the sideline?Wait a minute, the runner is too far from the bases.

"It's so far! It's the farthest from the base so far!" Hey, hey, don't shout out.Is it really okay to let others know that you care about runners so easily, Eijun.I rubbed my forehead, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for Miyuki.

Throw a changeup here!However, the runners also returned to the bases. Did they guess that they would not steal the bases, but they were still terrifyingly daring.Without a swing, it looks like their target ball is.....back to center stance.Has this tactic been abandoned, or is it only the United States and Malaysia that do not intend to continue to adhere to this tactic?

"The outside world!"

oh!The Carter Ball was hit!It seems that this hitter named Meima is not only because of his speed and striking skills, but also has good dynamic vision.

The Bailong team is really good, I hooked the corners of my mouth, it's troublesome.After going to the whole country, will there be many teams like this? It is really exciting, and I want to go more and more, Jiashien!

…………

After the eighth game, Bailong managed to seize the gap in defense and recovered a point.

However, Qingdao didn't give them another chance, and Bailong only got that one point in the end.

"competition is over!"

In the end, Qingdao defeated the powerful enemy Bailong with a score of 3:1.

***

"The next game starts in 20 minutes, those who want to play hurry up and get ready!"

"Sawamura, you're in good shape!"

"Who will start next game?"

"It seems to be Jin Tian!"

"Has anyone seen my gloves!"

…………

Before the start of the next game, the bench area was full of people. Everyone was preparing for the next game and helping those who ended today's game to warm up.

suddenly!

"I'm not satisfied!" Looking back, I saw Eijun-senpai who had just come off the bench in front of the bench and said to Furutani-senpai who was on his back: "I let too many runners go to third base, to be honest, many times It’s all about helping my teammates, I’m not satisfied at all!”

Oh~ I didn't expect him to be sober. After this almost perfect game, he was not blinded by the score.The kids nowadays are really not cute at all~ It would be nice to have fun at this time.

"That's good." Jiang Gu turned his head, "In this way we can compete."

This kid!

Obviously trying to be brave!

Everyone knows his recent state, what kind of cruel words are there at this time!You and those who were beaten miserably, with your head full of bags on your head, told your parents: 'I'm letting them go. ' What's the difference between the brats!Really, it's fascinating to watch.

***

Although the next game was a bit turbulent, they all won the game in the end.

In this way, the Golden Week games are over.

After I came back, I started the usual tense but normal practice again, and everything seemed to be stable and smooth.

The next night, indoor driving range.

After a round of practice swings, I stopped to wipe off my sweat and drink some water.

Suddenly there was a commotion from the practice pitching area next to him, he put down the towel to wipe his sweat, and turned around to look suspiciously.

Which direction is it?I remember that Senior Furuya was practicing before.Is something wrong?

I was going to have a look, but there were more people around.Forget it, there are so many people, remember that Ochiai coach is here, even if I go, I can't help much, let's practice first.

…………

It turned out that Senior Jiang Gu was injured. Before I was surprised, Senior Jiang Gu had already returned from the hospital. It seemed that it was nothing serious.

But he himself was not happy.I watched him walking towards the embankment alone, smiled helplessly, and followed quickly.

I don't know if he will listen, after all, I can only be regarded as a junior who is not very familiar with it.

Next to the slope of the embankment.

"Senior Jiang Gu" stopped him, and he turned to look at me, "Can we have a chat?"

…………

"Senior, can I ask you, what have you been thinking recently? It seems that you have been very distressed recently." We sat on the slope, "You may not know, my father is a major league player, I have some things I still know a lot about it, so I might be able to help you.”

He blinked slowly, thought for a while, and said calmly: "I want to be the number one pitcher in Japan, and then lead the team to become the number one pitcher in Japan. But I don't know why, sometimes I can't shoot what I want The ball came out. Although Miyuki-senpai and the supervisor pointed out my problem, I couldn't solve it anyway."

Oh, the goal is lofty, even if I have seen Hongo's pitching, I can say it without hesitation.

I raised the corner of my mouth, "Then do you want to become the number one pitcher in Japan? Or do you want to lead the team to become the number one pitcher in Japan?"

"Both. Do the two conflict?"

"Well, there was no conflict at first, but there is only one and a half months until the summer competition. Even in high school, you only have one year, so it is difficult to do two things at the same time."

"I can do it!" Suddenly, he was full of fighting spirit.Although there is no expression, it is surprisingly easy to understand, Furuya-senpai.

Well, I shrugged, "Then let me talk about the former first."

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with your current problem. It's just that you are using too much force and your ball control is unstable. And because of your unstable ball control, you are caught by the opponent, and you start to get nervous, which makes your body stiff instead."

"But if it is more urgent for you to improve your strength, there is nothing to change except to be a little careful not to hurt yourself. Because you are a fastball shooter, you have to start with full-throwing the ball. Practice, after all, this is your greatest weapon, and it’s meaningless if you can’t master it yourself. The mentality of nervousness is almost all exercised in various crisis situations. So you know why it’s too late.”

He closed his eyes from looking at me and pretended he was sleeping.

Hey, I'm angry and funny at the same time.

"Because neither ball control nor mentality can be practiced in a day or two."
